WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP.

To-day we z : tae uerr ar tux Oveicesy | @8k the District reader’s attention for a few SO NENTS Hoe us rust way wor arreax | moments to a somewhat kindred subject, of no little importance to him personally. We refer to the question where he had best purchase, if a dealer in any description of imported sta- ple goods, wares or merchandise? We cannot for the life of us see why it isthat District merchants go North for their supplies of for- eign iron, crockery and queensware, sugars, salt, and a number of other important staples, an immense quantity of which is retailed here and in Georgetown. While salt and sugar are imported direct into Georgetown in large quantities, they are also imported direct into Alexandria in still larger quantities So also are queensware and iron, as well as divers other important articles of evory-day con- sumption A friend in the trade hore a day or two since bought a considerable bill in Bal- timore, of crockery and queensware, and af- terwards found that had he tricd the Alexan- dria market previously, he would have saved perbaps fifteen per centum . This case affords a practical illuatration of what can be done there. And why not? In proportion to their number, those engaged in commerce ia Alexandria have more actual capital than in almost any other American commercial town. ‘ihe incidental expenses of carrying on commercial business there are less than any where elze, at least within the range of cur observation; and her merchants transact business in all respects on as accom- modating terms a3 any other*. Ihe trade re- sulting from the construction of her 1ailroads haz superinduced the habit of keeping much larger stocks of groceries, hard and crockery ware, staple dry goods, &c.,in Alexandria, than was customary five years ag; for it is now tke mart in which heavy supplies of such articles are purchated by up-country mer- chants. if they can buy there to udvantage instead of running over to Baltimore, we do not comprehend why Washington retailers cannct do likewise. The truth is, the custom of running to the North every month or so to buy bills of goods, is a so:t of inberitance of our present generation of retailers; being ad- hered to without thought of looking nearer heme for iwportations, domestic and foreign We kaow, here and there, persons in trade in Washington who rarely have occasion to gu beyond the Georgetuwn and Alexandria mar- kets—men doing extensive business and re- markable for their thrift. They say little with reference to whero they buy, as it is not their interest that their competitors in trade shall purchese as cheaply and as conveniently as themselver. It isour interest, however, that all in business in the District of Columbia shal! thrive; for the best thermometer of the general and individual business of this region is embraced in the Sur s advertising columns, to which all have come to look as the mirror of the condition of trade and transactions of all descriptions between business men and women and the rest of the world, in thie par- ticular region. We therefore deem it our duty to say to traders here, be sure not to go a con- siderable distance cff for your supplier, until you have satisfied yourselves that you cannot obtain them on terms to suit in Georgetown and Alexandris oa ree —_—_—_—_—_———————— SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS The Union accuses Col.

For, being of a very de- cided character, he has, nece:sarily, husts of personal enemies among self-sufficient and selfish persone. The allegation against the article in question is, that it was designed as a recommendation of his retention in hie pres- ent position under the incoming administra- tion; which is but a gratuitous assumption, the conductora of the Enyuirer being inde pendent gentlemen, noted for epeaking out their minds on such subjects, when believing it to be their duty to approach thein We republish most of their article to which we refer, as embracing in afew brief paragraphs an able exposition pf the great eervices which Secretary Marcy has rendered to his country in his present position, as well as of the fame he bas achieved at home and abroad. There is not a word in it to which a] well infurmed, sensible aud patriotic persons will not sub- ecribe, of whatever party in politics. Itis a manly tribute to his successful discharge of h's trust, and the time will come when there will be nene to disy ute the truth of all it em- braces : “‘Under the administration of Prosident Polk Mr. Marcy discovered a very cxtravrdi- nary executive cspacity. Some people mis- trusted, nevertheless, whether he possessed the breadth of view and fullness of infurmation essential to the discharge of the arduous and multiform duties of the State Department How entirely this doubt hus beon dissipated, and how signally Mr. Marcy has illustrated ag well his profound and comprehensive states- manship, as his unapproachable power in con- troversy, we need not attempt to establish by a recital of his achievements within the last four years. It is enough to reeall his corres- pondence with Clarendon, his reply to the propositions of the Paris Conference, his dis. cussion of Central American affairs, his tri- umpb in the enlistment dispute, his conclusion of the Reciprocity treaty, his decisive blow at the abuse of the Sound and Stade exactions— ufficiont to produce those instances of Iurortant prow Cestran America —A letter dated Guatemala, Oct. 3, states that the allies were preparing to dispatch a for- midable force to reinforce the army already in the field against Gen.

These contigents, it said, would increase the number cf the invaders to some eight thoi id men, all rep- resented to be well eduip for service, and confident of quickly annibilating Walker and hie partisans.

Atleast this poor appreciation of hig eharacter is not inappropriate at the close of his service.’” — The Steamer E! Dorado.—Oar readers will remember that, a yeer or two since, there was loud complaint in this country against the Spanish authorities in Cuba, on account of the steamer El Dorado having been overhauled by a Spanish man-of-war off Cape San Anto- nio. 1t now turns out that there was perfect- ly good cause for this. The Spaniards acted upon perfect information of the history, and the previous, if not the then present, employ- ment of the El Dorado, Among the rich dis- closures growing out of the quarrel between Walker and Goicuria, is the fact, expressly stated by the latter, that the E] Dorado was in the employment of the Cuban Junta of New York, for the purpose of making a hostile at- tack upon the island of Cuba. Well knowing this fact at the time, the Governor of Cuba acted in his own right in regarding the El Dorado with suspicion, when found off the coast of Cuba.

The io ducement to send to this market and sell is apparent from the large supplies now coming in from all quarters.

The actual majority in Louisiana for Bu- chanan is now sct down at 1,445.

Douglass, through the columas of the Rochester Democrat, inquires as to the where- abouts of a ‘‘cullered’’ woman, calling her- self Mrs. Nall, who stopped at his house, in Rochester, just long enough to collect $30 “‘ for the purpose of buying the freedom of her son,’’ and then disappeared. She is, evident- ly, one of Kansas’ biceding sisters. Stannard, who desired to vote for Fremont, in Norfolk, Virginia, offered a tickot with the names of Fremont and Dayton on it The law requiring electors, the inspectors told him he could not vote that ticket; whereupon Stan- nard got frightened, secreted himself, and came to the North to get sympathy from the abolitionists. Nothing molested him except- ing his ownconscience So says the Norfolk Herald. Nathaniel Huntoon, of Unity, N. H, now in his 93d year, went to tke polls, a distance of six miles, and cust his yote for James Bu chanan at the late election. Ilis first vote was given for George Washington, and he has voted for every Democratic President, and against every Federal, Whig, Republican or anti-Democratic candidate since thon. The example of euch a man is a burning and shin- ing light to the rising generation.
