OF ADVRNTISEMENTS SHOTLD BX LEYT AT THR OFFICE BY Tweive o'cock, M., OTMMRWiam THET MAY NOT APPEAR ONTIL THR NEXT Day. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS The Intelligencer, under the head of ‘‘Time’s Soothing Influences,” publishes an interesting compilation of a portion of the legislative his- tory of Jobr Quincy Adams, to show the bet- ter philosophy of conciliation. The Union contains appeals suitable for the last day of the recent ‘‘ heated term” in poli- tice. @oOOe— WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP Hotels in Washington.—The New York Herald, the no 1ess infallible arbiter of good taste than of good morals and sound politics, having shown up its latest creation—George Law, as a public man—has turned its atten- tion to showing up the hotels of Washington city, all of which it pronounces, ex cathedra, detestable hotels; as though the fact that such is its judgment of them to-day, makes them so. Tnough it is but fair to adopt its opinion of the politicians whom it alone has warmed into brief notoriety—for who should know them through and through better than the author of their political being—we opine that its opinion of hotels in Washington is worth just as little as its views of the prospects of presidential candidates a few weeks ago, when it was pledging its reputation for the tri- umph of Fremont by an overwhelming ma sority. Its conductor, who writes in so sweep- tag terms against every hotel in Washington, has not ventured to trust his ears within the bounds of the District of Columbia for a year past; evidently in the fear that they would be called for as a forfeit by some one of the many gentlemen here, he has taken occasion to black- guard in that time as violently as he black- guarded the hotels of Washington on Sunday morning last So he cannot have written from personal experience in this connection.4He complains that their charges are higher than those of New York. This is untrue. We have beside us the bill recently paid by a gentleman, who, with his wife, occupied a chamber and parlor at a Broadway (New York) hotel, afew weeks since. It amounts to $12 per day for their board and the use of the parlor. No hotelin Washington charges such high prices. What the Herald says about the attendance of the servants at the Wash- ington hotels is also false. None are better drilled, or more civil and accommodating apy- where inthe country. Nor are more substan tial comforts to be enjoyed in the hotels of any other city in this country; though, we admit, the immense caravanseras of New York and one or two other American commercial empo- riums sre conducted with a closer attention to psrade—to fuss and feathers—if the reader pleases. The Hera/d seems to be after mali- ciously inducing some one to lose a fortune in building an additional huge hotel in this city; asserting, as it does, that many keepers of such establishments here have in late years retired with large fortunes. We should like to know who they are. Our information on that head is directly the reverse of all this. If any single one has done so, we should like to know who he is. The truth is, the hotels of Washiagton are, like all the rest in this country, quite as well kept as the business they transact will war- rant; and we are very sure that they give quite as general satisfaction to their patrons as any others in the land. No man of brains expects a landlord to set before his one or two hundred guests as varied or as elaborately prepared bills of fare as he would certzinly present them if they numbered daily from five hundred to one thousand, as at some of the hotels in New York. The editor who makes that fact the ground-work for such sweeping charges against the Washington hotels, is evidently unfit to form sensible opin- ions in such matters, as the conductor of the Aferald has so recently found himself to be in politics. The Orange and Alexandria Railroad Com- pany.—The proceedings of the recent annual meeting of the stockholders of this company, held in Alexandria, demonstrate that it is not only one of the best-managed public works in the Union, but one the stock of which bids fair very soon to be as profitable as any other railroad stock in the country, not excepting the consolidated New York Central and the Jersey Monopoly’s roads. In less than two years its ret-work of connections will give it the command of the travel and freight of an immense scope (breadth) of country, stretch- ing longitudinally from tide water on the At- lantic ecast to the Mississippi; and in two years more perbaps to Mobile in one direction, to New Orleans in another, to St. Louis and the western confines of Missouri in yet another direction, and again to Chicago and Dubuque inanother. From the Mississippi at Memphis to tide water on the Potomac, it will be essen- tisliy and absolutely without a rival as the eastern terminus of travel and trade that is destined to astonish al! the railroad operators in the land ; for few of them indeed are as yet aware of the dormant facilities for making a profitable railroad business which exist in the fertile, healthful and beautiful and gmild (as to climate) regions of Virginia, Tennessee, Alabama, Kentucky and Arkanses, which are to become tributary to it (the Orange and Al- exandria railroad) and to it alone as the east- ern outlet of their travel and transportation of all description. Besides being much the shortest route through which the business of the regions to which we refer can possibly reach the Atlantic coast, its climatic advan- tages and advantages of grade and through connection will render it the most certain, speedy, sgreeable and the cheapest long line of railway on the North American continent 1t can be run profitably with agiven amourt of freight and passenger traffic at less rates per mile than any other in the Union, or our experience of twelve years in connection with the construction of such works has not added to cur capacity to judge correctly upon such points. In ten years after its connections through to the Mississippi shal] have been opened, it will have doubled the value of every acre of land from Lynchburg to Memphis laying withio fifty miles—north and south—of its Iceation. There is no telling what will be the extent of its beneficial effects on the busi- ness of Alexandria, Virginia, through which its bundreds of through passengers will pass daily and its, perbaps, millions of tons of freight for the far West must also pass, a fair proportion of which will necessarily be pur- chared in that ancient Burg ; because, while that is the nearest point for“ shipping” by the rail, there are many descriptions of mer- figure as in any other place in the United States. Those who will take the trouble to sean the map closely and to study the statis- tics and capacities of the regions of which we write above, will soon comprehend that we are not # dreamer on this rubject. A Clergyman Shrieking (Lying) for Free- dom.—The Boston Post exposes, with s mas- ter hand, the systematic lying of the freedom shriekers whenever writing aught from Kansas likely to see the light. It quotes the follow ing extract from a letter published in the Bos- ton Atlas (freedom shrieker) from an abolition clergyman named Nute: Lawrence, Kan., Oct 13, 1856. Dsar Sir: The cold weather keeps off thus far, and hope it will until the arrival of the clothing. Every day we hear of new cases of destitution. Yesterday, I found two families without flour, and with hardly a sin- le article of groceries. One of them living in a sod cabin, without a floor—a family of six povees nearly, if not quite, every member as been sick with the intermittent fever, but are now recovered, and hard at work to pre- pare for the winter. I relieved their moct ressing wants from the small fund in my ands, and wish I could furnish them with lumber enough to build a comfortable shelter. Having looked on that picture, the reader will please look on this,—another letter writ- ten by the same Reverend Nute dated (Octo- ber 15th) but twe days subsequent to the other. It proves that whatever may be the con- dition cf his neighbors, the ‘“Reverend’’ Nute ismaking «a good thing of his residence in Kansas. Men of sense will comprehend that it stamps with falsehood all he says in the other letter concerning the state of the Terri- tory. Thus, toa relative (who furnished the Post with his letter for publication) he wrote on the 15th ult, as follows: ‘‘We like Kansas more than ever. This summer and fall, thus far, the weather has been more pleasant than it was last year. I[ have harvested about eight acres of corn, and have an acre of potatoes of the best kind, and good crop todig. [have between ten and twelve acres of wheat sown, and it comes up finely; 25 tons of hay cut and stacked, 3 cows, 2 horses, 3 yoke of No. 1 oxen, 7 hogs, 108 hens, &c.,4¢ {am now addinga large room to our house on the claim. and getting ready to lathe and plaster the front room. Our ‘house in town will be finished in a few weeks, if this weather holds on. I think I shall rent it for a year, or until I have pre empted the claim, as I can get over £200 a year for it, in advance every month.” The Post adds: “« Mr. Nute also admits in this letter to his relative that ‘there are many false reports and some gross and foolish exaggerations min- gled with the truth’ about Kansas affaiis—he might have added, ‘ and this mingling will con- tinue until after the 4th of November.’ ”” All Over!—Only think on’t, reader! No one now cares to read abuse of anybody! Huzza for election day'—that in coming round has thus brought about the ‘era of good feeling,’’ as it were. The Lord only knows how long it will continue. We pray that it may never depart; but prayers such as this addressed to the politicians of all par- ties will prove, we fear, not more efficacious than singing psalms to dead horses. _ We in- tend to zet a good example, and will hereafter be as amiable to our talented neighbor as though we had not had occasion to chide him gently now and then in the course of the late protracted campaign, commencing with the rise and progress of Know Nothingiem and ending only with its death at the hands of the Democracy to come off at eunduwn precisely to-day; when it will draw its last breath at the basis of an important political organiza- tion. Nicaragua.—All well-informed men at this point regard the situation of Walker in Nica- ragua as being most imminentlycritieal No credit whatever appears to be given by them to his accounts and those of his followers of his late engagemente. On the contrary. the letter published in the New York Trisune from Virgin Bay, representing that he was repulsed in his attack on Messaya, and re- turned to Granada to find that all his stores, arms, and indeed even to hisevery paper had fallen int» the hands of his enemies who had completely sacked his stronghold, (tranada, and succeeded in retreating unmolested with all their plunder. Thus he is conceived to have been stripped of all his resources. The news by the next arrival from that quarter will be looked for with great interest, Death of Lewis Plitt, Esq.—The follow- ing pathetic letter reached us this morning. Its news will be received here by a large cir- cle with deep sorrow, fur its subject was be- loved in Washington : Puinavecpaia, Nov. 3, 1856 It may be of interest to some of your Wash- ington readers to know that Lewis Plitt, for several years a clerk under Col. Forney in the House of Representatives, is dead. e died on Saturday night, after a protracted illness, and was buried this afternoon. Poor Lew! a few days ago he was confident he would be well enough to go out to vote for Buchanan, whose election he was looking forward to with high hopes. But the sunrise which will greet Buchanan as President elect will light up poor Plitt’s fresh made grave. He wasa man of good heart and generous emenes, and I know of but few men who will be more sincerely lamented within their own personal circle than Plitt. Bound for Karsas.—Extract from a letter to the editor, dated ‘‘ In camp on the bank of the Des Moines River, Iowa, Oct. 23, 1856 :"” ‘* We have seen, in the five days from Bur- lington, no less than six or eight hundred men, all armed, bound for Kansas. I saw Jim Lane in Burlington one day last week. He was on his way East, after recruits. Yester- day we passed two cannons, carried under the name of reapers.”” Proposals.—The Secrotary of the Tressury has issued proposals for the purchase of sites for the new post offices and United States court roomgto be constructed under the late law of Congress to that end, at Windsor and Rutland, Vt.
