ES EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON CITY: SATURDAY er 1, 1856, = = @ ADVERTICENENTS SHOULD BB LEFT AT THE Orrick BY Twrire o'ciocx, M; @TSERWISE THEY MAY NOT ArrEAR WeTtL TRE KExT BAT. THE WKEELY STAR. Politicians and others wi!l do well to secure s copy of our Weekly, row ready for deliv- ery, as it abounds in political matter of the highest value for future reference. An inter- esting description of ‘‘the fish map,’’ Fran- ciseo De La Vega, will be found in the pres- ent number ; also the capital sketches of “ The Unlucky Trimmer,”? “ Playing Old Sledge for the Presidency,”’ and ‘‘ Scene in a New York Police Court,’” by Doesticks. A number of rare poetical brilliants will also be foued in WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. “Fire in the Mountains, Fun Boys, Fan!” We take from the New York Iera/d the fol- lowing—Bennett’s very last on the explosion of the George Law imposture. Its wit and truth together tempt us to forgive the writer for his own multitude of political tergiversa- tions. Yet we may not fail to call the read- er’s attention to the proof that it involves of the utter unworthiness of the Hera/d as a po- litical guide ; for it is neither more nor less than a scathing exposure of its own disrepu- table political associations : Tereisie Steamboat Expiosion—in Posi- rron.—It has been our painfal duty to record several horrible steamboat explosions, but none more terrible than the recent collapse of the apparently staunch craft, the George Law. Some year ago or moro the George Law went into the dry dock, was turned over on her beam ends,-duly scraped, coppered and fitted out with an entirely new set of political ma- its columns, as well as editorials on various subjects; full- telegraphic accounts of the latest news from Europe aud from all quar” ters; personal and poetical items; and a full resord of all local occurrences. Single copies in wrappers to be had at the eounter, price 3 cents; $1.25 per year. ———_- 20 -______ SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Union, in anticipating the course tikely to be adopted by some cf the journals which have been most conspicuous in advocating the cause of Fremont and sectionalism during the e@smpaigo now so rapidly drawing to a close, has a very telling and amusing hit at Bennett of the New York Hera/d, in the shape of an article which the Union is inclined to be- lieve will appear in the Hera/d on the morn- log after the Prezidential election. It opens thus: from the New York Herald, Nov 5, 1856 } The long agony is over: James Buchanan, of Pennsylvania, 13 the President elect of this at, glorious, and progressive republic! Fine Union and the Constitution have proved too powerful for the negro-worshippers end Kansas-shriekers. The whole dirty, lying, brawling, canting pack, with the Rocky- mountain explorer at the head, and our re spected coteu. porary of the white hat and drab surtout at the tail, have by the voice of the people yesterday been consigned to an eternal and infamousoblivion. Let the rascally bulls of Wall street rejoice, for nothing short of a monet»ry carthquake on both sides of the At- lantic can prevent a prodigious advance in every species of real and personal property under the era of good feeling, North and South, East and West, which has just been inaugurated by the electiop of the patrict, Sage, and state-man of Wheatland. Selah! *: The result bas not surprised us in the least Thore who have wxtcbed the course of the Herald must recollvet that, as early as Feb- ruary last, we not only foretold the nomira- tion of Mr Buchanan by the Cincinnati Coa- vention, but that the events which bave now bec. ne pert aud psreel of the poiitical histo- ry of the ecuntry were clearly and distinctly fureshudowed. Asthe head and front, the body, breeches. «zd eoul, of tho great inde- pendent pres: of the United States, we have conducted the eampaign on ourown hook, and Wita-us ‘be slightest reference to the praise or the abuse of all the raseally politicians, cliques factions, self-constituted committees, aud sue door arrangements in the land; and with the countenance of Archbishop Hughes, tho bles sing of bis Holiness the Pope, and the military adv.ce and assistance of our belligerent friend, General James Watson Webb, (of $52,000 memory.) we ehsli so conduct all future city, State, and national campaigns Selah! “As wo elected President Pierce, s0 we have elected President Buchanan. The bran- bread philosopher of the Tribune, the ‘little villain’ of the Times, the worthy old gentle of the Post, to say nothing of the respectable old ladies and the respectable old asses who Lave been bied so freely for bleeding Kausas, have been completely bewildered, befogged, acd befooled by the free, unshackled, and in- dependent course of the Herald in bringing about the great moral, social, religious, politi eal, and financial revolution which has result- ed in the elevation to the chief magistracy of nearly thirty millions of freemen ot one of the purest patriots and ablest statesmen which this or any other country has given birth to. Selah!” The Intelligencer is occupied with news and correspondence. = F Tuaxxse1viNe Dar.—Ohio joins with twelve | and if you attack me in the I shall eay will be the truth, and nothing but other States in designating the 20th of No- vember as thanksgiving day. The Governor of Massachusetts has named the 27th, and he is the first one to set apart a day different from that designated by all the other States so far New Parsn —We have received the second number of a veatly printed, well filled lite- rary paper just started in this city by W. A. | giv chinery. The George Law then started with a tremendous head of steam on, and all her colors flying, for the White House. Under the flag, and with all her fires up, the (reorge Law steamed away for some time in gallant style, but unfortunately ran against a enag at Philadelphia, on the 224 of February last. She was got off with difficulty, but leaked badly, and labored for some time in the wake of the clipper Fremont; but coming athwart the hawse of several vessels bound in the same direction, and being very clumsily handled, the George Law was driven into Salt Tiver, collapsed a flue, her boilers exploded with a tremendous crash, her crew blown sky high, and her fragments scattered in every direction. To drop metaphor, the recent terrible break- down of George Law, and hia last appearance on any stage, at the Academy, have created a degree of interest and excitement much great- er than his equally rapid rise. One of the most remarkable developments in the whole affair is found in the conduct of Law’s friends and intimate associates, who.now fall to cur- sing each other with extreme unction. Each charges the other with having beon the cause of the demolition of the great idol, and their conduct is rich in the extreme. Prominent among George's agents was ex- Senator Westcott, of Florida Ex Senator Westcott was a sort of privy councillorto Law —his legal adviser; Westcott prepared his speeches ; dictated his political course; gave him son mots and funny stories for ordinary conversation; furnished bitsof poetry for quo- tation, and dealt out homeopathic doses of historical reminiscences and political records. He was the Dr. Pangloss to this modern Lord Duberly.. Since the terrible explosion, poor ex Senator Westcott has disappeared from the public view altogether; in fact, he is so en tirely used up that there is nothing left of him but a queue, which should be carefully preserved in some museum as a great naturul aud political curiosity. Then there is George Law’s spiritual adviser and chaplain-in-ordi- nary—tbe Reve eud Joe Scoville. He, too, is in great tribulation. Another of the same party is Doctor Valentine, who is George Law's physician extraordinary, preserving his constitution both physically and politi- cally, regulating his diet, preparing prescrip tions to keep him in sound order, and a fit ar tiele for fashionable consumption. This last named individual has been thrown into an awful state of mind by the great smashup of his great patron, and has come out with a let- ter in which he threatens to demolish the chaplain-in-ordinary without mercy. Here's the precious dooument : New York, Oct 35, 1855. “Jox Scovitie—I will not stay my band in opening your transactions to the worid, and likewise the manner in which you got Mr Bennett to work the Herald.

If that isn’t a nice opening for a fight—a mighty pretty quarrel, ae Sir Lucius O Trigger would say—we never eaw one. We fancy itis only the beginning of a eeries of remarkable dis- closures. But the most amusing part of the whole affair is what the pbysician-in-ordinary says about working the Herald, as if the Herald was a band-organ, or a steam engine, or a force pump, which was at anybodys service who saw fitto apply the motive power. The fact is, the independent course of the New York dicrald has 80 puaziod and mystified the whole batch of Licod-suckers who surround George Law, that they fall upon each other, ebarging treason a!l around, simply because the Herald, in the courte of its duty to the public, exposed spelen cbailatan, who, without bottom or talent, or even ordinary respectability, had too long imposed u By industry and sharp practic George Law has accumulated alarge fortune—not so large, however, as is generally sup He may be something hike Barnum He evidently supposed from bis success in steamboats, contracts, buying up Congressmen and other trash, that he could also buy up an independent journal to smooth his way to tha White House and impose upon the people of the United States a President without talent, magnanimity, ility. or education, buat simply because he was arich man, and every- body must bow down and worship hie dollars We believe that he has now found out his mis- take, But we advise all his supporters —Szo- ville, Valentine, Westcott and others—to cut louse from him at once, and each to publish a detailed statement of the private history of the whole matter broek: oe wie wee the book which ikoff is about to publish on Exropean diplomacy, with an pe in re- ays Mr. Buchanan in London But tho re transactions of George with his | i VY councillor, chaplain nak hy: i e 4 most interesting resume of the inside bis- Sosy xt Os oom Palgn. and will doto read after we have diso the dish that Chevalier Wikoff will give us direct} Let us hear the Law trio, after the election. y all means, erald, (as what iD & too confiding public. | In that respect. | It would make the richest | ten Texas, is hereby post; correspondent of the Journal of Commerce more than bears out all we said on that occa- sion, and exposes the utter folly as well as falsehood of the crazy Kentuckian in this con- nection socompletely as that we republish bis brief comments on the misrepresentations of Cassius, as follows : {For the Journal of Commerce } Mussrs Eprtors: Cassius M Clay having stated in his speech at the Tabernacle that the Georgia ratlroad ts the only paying one tn the South engaged in cotton carrying, send you the following list of the railroads in Georgia alone.

The ubove are alt finished Railroads in Georgia, except two short ones of 10 or 15 miles each in the northwestern corner of the State. The writer of this docs not know what is their condition “You will see that the statement of C. M.
