EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON CITY: November 19, 1856. ee LEFT AT THE OFFICE BY eWiSe THEY MAY NOT APPEAR SNTIL THE NEXT DAY. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The /ntelligencer expresees itself highly gratified at the fact that Col. Benton has un- dertaken to abridge the debates in Congress so as to bring them within the compass of the reading of the community at large, who are without the time and other necessaries to en- able them to master such voluminous accounts of those debates as are required by the states- man. The editor quotes the Colonel’s account of the proceedings of Congress on the original fogitive slave iaw, of which but a paragraph or two were preserved at the time, though the subject bas of late years proved one of great blie interest We have no doubt that properly prepared abridgement cf the proceedings of Congress since the foundation of the Government would e beneficial to the country, diffusing oe saat much information enabling the public the better to appreciate the merits of current political questions. Such an abridge- ment prepared by Col. Peter Force, really the most competent man in the United States, would be received with universal acclamation, because all reading men are aware that he can be trusted with such a task, being entirely un- prejudiced on public affairs. With Col. Ben- ton the case is different; as such a compilation from his pen cannot possibly be aught but an other effort to cry down the men and measures of past times that are distasteful to his own idosy cracies The Union discusses the Kansas question elaborately; and refutes the Republican news- paper slanders on Southern Illinois, by quo- ting replies of various papers in that quarter of that State to what we quoted yesterday from the Rochester (N. ¥.) Dempcratiand similar articles in the rabid Chicago ‘I’ridune The Union also republishes newspaper regrets over the result of the election in Michigan. that is to ostracise General Cass from the Senate of the United States. This event will be a great public loss; for all now look up to General C. as a public man of valuable expe- rience, ardent patriotism, and high character —as a statesman far above party in the in- fluences under which he acts. The country at large, and especially the State of Michigan, are to be the real losers by the temporary insanity of the majority of bis constituents, as soon to be manifested in the election of some ignorant, blatherskiting abolition demagogue to the U. S. Senate in his stead. oe New Pverications.—From J. Shillington we have Harpers’, Graham's, and Godey’s Magazines for December. ‘‘ Little Dorrit’ is continued in Harper's Magszine, and the he- roine and her family are safely conveyed from Venice to Rome. The wood engravings of «Sunny Side,’’ the residence of Washington Irving, are exquisite. The comic illustrations are stale reproductions of London Punch tom- icalities. Harper & Brothers announce the issue of a weekly newspaper, to be entitled ‘‘ Harpers’ Weekly; A Journal of Civilisation.’’ It is to appear on the 3d day of January next. Graham and (iodey present a tempting dis- plsy of literary wares PERSONAL. «+++Cul Benton is to speak at Salem, Maes., on the evening of the 25th. «++eHon. Mr Hobart, Republican M.

Be- sides the lose of Mr. Albert Sumner—the sec. ond brother of Senator Sumner, who has lost his life by sbipwreck,—it is a singular coinci- dence that Mrs Sumner also had a sister, (Mrs Ball,) who, with her husband, was lost in the packet ship Home, bound from New York to Charleston, several years ago This disaster led to an amicable law suit. She was wealthy, being a daughter of the late Walter Channing, a merchant of this city. By the Code Napoleon, it is provided that in any such catastrophe a young child shall be pre- sumed to die before its parents, and a wife before the husband ; but it was in evidence that Mrs. Ball had been heard to call wildly upon her husband, who made no reply—thus creating a probability that he perished first. Albert was the brother of Senator Sumner who insisted on separating man and wife and ebildren in the sale of the negroes of the Ball estate. ———————_____ [> The Rutland (Vt.) Herald bas seen a lump of gold which was recently found in the no! rnp part of that State. Auriferous treasures in the Green Mountain State are something new, and will probably prodave a gold bunting epidemic Thanksgiving Day.—To-morrow having | on their sidewalks will cook ina minute by been designated by the local authorities of Washington city as a day of thanksgiving, almost all business will be suspended here, throughout it. As few persons will be at home or at their stores and working places where we usually serve them with the Star, we shall is- sue no paper on the day. We are not among those who approve of the propriety of substi- tuting the thankegiving day of Puritanism for the Christmas of the Scriptures. Its observ- ance was originally designed, and is now for the most part carried out at the North, from whence we have imported it, az a rebuke to those who adhere to the propriety of observing as a religious holiday the received anniversary of the birth of Christ. Where it is observed by the major part of society as aught but an Occasion for a frolic of some sort or other, the majority of the people pay as little attention to the duty of observing Christmas day, as is done here to that of observing All Saints day. In the land of thanksgiving days—New Eng- land—indeed, the observance of Christmrs day is derided as a relic of barbarism unbe- coming the fast cbristianity of the era, which recognizes the Ward Beechers and heodore Parkers of the hour as its apostle: and saints, if not its very deities. There, the majority of society hardly know when Christmas comes and goes. Gradually this ‘‘ Thanksgiving day” is weeding out from among us of the Dis- trict of Columbia the legitimate christien holi- day—the day of universal thanksgiving to which refer above; for, we remember well when it was the cecasion, of all occasions, ob- served among us asa day of universal thanks- giving should be—as it is not now observed, @e regret to have to write. To-morrow, while a portion of this commu- nity are setting a good example by attending divine worship—giving thauks in the different churches of Washington—a much larger por- tion will be throwing away their time ard means in various ways. An astonishing quar- tity of execrable liquor will be guzzled here, Perbaps ten times as much ason any cther day in this year 1856. A multitude of horse’ wil be over-ridden and over-driven; and thousands who can*ill sffurd to loose a day’s wages will be compelled by the fashion of the hour to refrain for the day from earning six- pense. While we realize how easily those who will attend the churches to-morrow (and we should be glad, indeed, ifevery man, woman and child in Washington would do so) might participate in the observance of the day inthat way, we are also very sure that to thousands around us it will be little more than an occa- sion for indulgence in dissipation at the ecst of character, health and slenderly provided purses No one recognizes the day as of divine origin, or as having the sanction or impress of time honored Christian precedent or authority, While we are content to buy our cotton spools and wooden ware from New England because her’s are the cheapest, we are by no means content to receive her notions of religion, morals, the duties of citizenship, &c., as be- ing the best. They have crazy soctety within New Engiand’s limits, where they have been prod uctive of little but mischief—of unadul- terated and unmistakable injuries to sound religion, morats and patriotism. Entertaining such views of the fitness of substituting Thanks- giving day for Christmas, nothing can be more repugnant to us than to find the Governors and other local authorities south of Mason’s and Dixon’s line toadying New England in thia matter, and thus indirectly robbing those in this section of the Union who live by days’ wages out cf a portion of their poor pittance, acd encouraging thousands on tbousands to spend a day in dissipation The Session.—The next session of Congress is destined to be a very lively one, indeed, outside of their halls as well as within them. A great many measures of vital importance to individuals, which were initiated at the last session, remain to be disposed of; thoee interested in them having declined to press them to final issues until after the election, knowing well that their chances for favorable hearings cn all sides would be much better after the composition of the next House had been determined fur the most part, than be- fore that event had taken place: Hundreds will be here fur the session to attend to such eases. Other hundreds will come and go un- der the attraction of the usual intrigues that mark the advent of a new national adminis- tration. We cure not which party comes into power, ite installation is always preceded by efforts to influence the composition of the new administration, that are participated in by leading politicians from all quarters; and by not s few whe-e claim to consideration as advisers is founded wholly on their own good opinion ot their own discretion, sagacity and political importance. Just now, as strange as itmay appear, the task of forming an adwinistration for the in- coming Chief Magistrate, without as much as “ by your leave, Sir,’’ has been undertaken wholly by persons connected with opposition newspaperz, who are evidently determined that Mr. Buchanan shall call no one into bis cabinet if they can prevent it, likely to counsel measures of state that may per- ebance prove distasteful to their notion of the fitness of things. So far the Demo- cratic papers are prudently and carefully abstaining from avy such improper inter- ference, and, we believe, no Democratic pub- lic man has ventured to give Mr. B. ung asked advice on any such subject. This stat? of things in the Democratic party is neither more nor lees than proof beyond question that its members one and all have great confidence in his (Mr. B.'s) wisdom, experience and knowledge of the real sentiments of those on whom he must depend for the support neces sary to make his administration a successful one—the great body of those who voted for him North and South, East and West. Though we care not how many Democrats may flock hither thie winter with the idea that their prssenee atthis point will enable them to strengthen the chances for the consummation of their own particular views in the formation of the cabinet, we trust that the remarkable manner in which all of their fellow Democrats have up to this time refrained from obtruding uoasked advice on Mr. Buchanan, will influ- ence them, on arriving here, to abandon all euch thoughts. But (to return to our mutton) we shall also have in Washington this winter a much larger number of legitimate sight-seers and pleasure | seekers than heretofore As at each succeed- ing session the fashion of a trip to Washington beeomes more widely prevalent. Already it is infecting folke of both sexes pretty much as | they ore influenced in the stewing, broiling end baking months io the matter of trips to S.satoga, Cape May, Newport, the Virginia WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. | Springs and elsewhere—to escape the dust, heatand glare of the cities, where eggs broken the watch. Our hotel and boarding house keepers are making ample preparations for the accommodation of all visitors who may favor us with their presence. Puss in Boots —General Webb of the Courier and Enguirer, & very estimable gentleman indeed, in private life, is making judy of himself by his efforts to appear some- what deeper in the confidence of the Presi- dent elect than those correspondents of the New York Fremont newspapers who are just now giving assurances to the public with reference to Mr. B.’s policy when in the Presidency. Such work on the part of the conductor of @ newspaper in the interest of the opposition should be left to the small peo- ple who have nought to lose by becoming pub- lic Inughing stocks, and ill “suits one like General Webb who really has position. He remarked in the Courier a day or two since, that— ‘It is very natural that great anxiety should exist in relation to the policy of Mr Buchan- an’s administration, and it is equally natural, that those who are acquainted with the per- sonal relations which exrst between the writer and Mr. Buchanan, should deluge us with enquiries to learn what we think of the future.’ This reminds us not a little of his remark- able prediction (on the strength of his alleged intimacy with old Clarey—Lord Clarendon) that the late war between England and Russia would not take place! The Hoax.—It seems now to be universally conceived (on this side of the Atlantic) that the late Georgia railroad hoax, played off on the London Times, was designed not to injure this country in the estimation of the English, but to exhibit to that public in its true colors the intensity of the batred and prejudice cf the conductors of the ‘mes towards the United States, and its extreme ignorance of American affaire. If so, its author, Mr. Arrowsmith, has succeeded to a charm, indeed. Le repre sents his remarkable series of duels to have come off, it will be remembered, in 1828—at least ten years before Geoigia know what a railroad is! He's a wag of the first water, that Mr Arrowsmith. The Members —Few members of either house of Congress have yet made their ap- pearance here for the session. Fewer than we ever before remember to have seen in Washington at a comesponding period of the fall. Indeed, we do not know of the presence in Washington at this time of a single mem- ber of the Heuse except Mr. Thorington, of lowa, and Mr. Rice, of Minnesota, both of whom have spent the recess here. By the end of the week they will begin to drop in upon us by scores.
