SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Jntelligeneer was not published to-day, The Union contains a letter, without a sig- nature, from its witness to prove the truth of its previous revelations concerning the decla- rations of Mr. Newton, the Pennsylvania Fill- more elector, whose integrity, it contends, Fremont essayed during the canvass to seduce. This witness, whose name is not divulged, re- peats his version of the affair, with full par- ticulars of Mr. Newton’s statements made to him, and alleges that another gentleman who was present confizms his account to the letter. We also find in the Unton a full and very thorough exposure of the impudent attempts of Edmund Burke, of New Hampshire, again to foist himself on the Democraey It will be remembered that when there was a prospect of the national success of Know-Nothingism he was hand and glove with it. iending it his countenance in various ways to compass the defeat of the Democratic candidates in his State. Subsequentiy, his name has appeared among those ‘cracked up’’ in the newspapers ss fit men to be called into Mr. Buchanan’s Cabinet. He is not the only one of a like kid- ney, politically, who is being gravely urged by foolish people for a similar position, as strange as the fact may appear in these com- mon sense and practical days. OOo WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP Mr. Seward and the New York Herald — The Herald having recently assailed Senator Seward for being, as it alleged, a lobby agent for the renewal of the Woodworth patent, the Albany Evening Journal, the home or- gan of Governor S., replies in the indignant terme that will be found in the extract here- with appended. Werepublish it for two rea- sons: First, because, however sternly we are opposed to Governor S. as a politician, (and no other man is more so ) it affords us an op- portunity to sey, that the uniform bearing of that gentleman, as a man, in this community has not been ench as to warrant avy sane per- son in believing him to be of the character personally, in which the Herald represents him ; and next, by way of showing the Btar’s readers how hugely those who not long since combined to bring about the election of Fre- mont, do really love each other. As intimated above, we war on Mr. Seward’, principles and his political aims, and should scorn ourself were we to adopt the too fash- ionable expedient of sweeping villification of him or any other political opponent in all his relations in life, because we oppose bis politics. No better expedient for furthering Mr. Sew- ard’s ambitious designs could have been de- vised, than the publication of such abuse of him as that to which the Hera/d treats him, in the face of the fact that, notwithstanding the bitter repugnance which all the Southern Senators entertain towards his doctrines and oratorical efforts, he is treated personally, by all of them, we believe, as one deserving at their hanis all the necessary courtesies of so @ia' intercouree. The following is the Journal's article in question : “If the public taste does not pall and sick- en under the daily iteration of such clumsily compounded falsehood and folly, its stomach must be proof against ail that disgusts and mauseates. The Herald's splurges and vom- itings are as repulsive to decency as to truth ; and yet that vile sheet is not only tolerated but accepted, by perverted judgments, as a thority ; though its whole history has been a continuous exhibition of twaddling contradic- tions and absurdities, prompted by mendacity, malice and mortification. hile txdividuals purchase and read this “ receptacle-of undi- gested scandal,”’ society refuses to recognize a@ man who bas outraged all its laws. Wealth, however questionably obtained, generally se- cures to the possessor the privilege of living on the borders of civilization. Riches gives to most men at least an equivocal social posi- tion But the blear-eyed old vagabond of the Herald, with all his besmeared gold is an ex- tothe rule. Society rejecte him. To all that is elevated or refined in social inter- course, he is an outeast. And to avenge him- eelf for this provoked and merited ostracism, he is driveling out the remaine of an ill-spent life in perverting paper, ink and t rom the noblest, to ihe aad ures = Gov. Seward, who, during the long period of his public service has passed through the severest ordeals of political controversy wit! out the slightest imputation of improper pecu- niary motive—whose life, in al! its professional and official aspects and responsibilities has been one of proverbial and stainless purity— is here coarsely assailed as the ‘ counset, APVOCATE, MANAGER, GOD-FATHER before the Senate and the Courts,’’ of a measure which is to purchase its way through Congress with a“ fund of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, with resources to enlarge tt to five hundred thousand, tf called for.’ Buch is the bold charge of an habitual calumniator. Now what are the facts? Some fifteen years ago Mr. Seward was re- tained as counsel by Mr Wilson, the assignee of Woodworth’s Planing Machine, and for several yeurs defended the rights of his client in the various suits in which he became in- volved. When elected to the Senate he with- drew from this business, except so far as his services were necessary ia the cases which had been prepared or were being prepared for trial. Por four or five years he has had no fessional connection whatever with the ‘codworth Planing Machine. Nor during his whole term of service in the Senate has he, publicly or privately, directly or indirect- dy, uttered a word or syllable, in favor of the renewal of that patent. The whole accusa- tien, in all that it asserts and in all that it implies, isa deliterate and gross—but happily, from the infamy of its origin—impotent and harmless falsehood. The charge, zo far as truth, or the semblanee of truth are concerned, might have been wade with equal justice against Gen Cass, Col Bell, Mr. Hunter, or apy other distinguished Senator whose irre- proacbable character, likea triple mail, would repel the arrows of an assassin A Veteran —ur neighbor, the Alexandria Gazette, yesterday entered on the filty-eighth year of 1(s useful existence. Differing as we do from it in polities, it affords us unfeigned gratification to say, that in the hands of Edgar Snowden, Eeq., it has exerted great influence indeed for the well-being of society wherever it is read; the doetrines it has uniformly jn- culcated concerning eught else than politics being such as all good citizens cannot fail to approve. We have frequently heard it said that the Gazette lags bebiud the age—is not “+ fast’’ enough to please the taste of the ‘fast men” who entertain that opinion of it While it is true that it carefully abstains from mak- ing bogus publications for the seke of creating sensation and obtaining notoriety, we know mo more enviable editorial reputation than that which its conductor has fairly achieved through his long connection with the Gagette. Apropos—if be wil! adopt the plan of cash payments for everything that comes into his office in the shape of advertisements or goes gut of it in that of newspapers, which he has “found out,’’ has been adopted by some of the papers at the North, he will find himself some thousands better off at the end of the year. Without it in our business, the eminent suc- cess of the Star would have been little more than the privilege of amusing the world and benefitting the material interests of all ou, patrons almost at our own cost, and solely for the pleasure of so doing. We take due care to be paid for every paper that leaves the portals of the Star office, as well aa for what- ever services the Star renders to those who desire to be put in direct communication with Messieurs et Mesdames, the Public, through its facilities to that end. Wake up neighbor, and try the cash system, if you would put money in your pouch. Washington Hotels —Dining, yesterday, with a friend at Guy & Briggs’s ‘‘ National Hotel,’’ we were struck with the refutation of the New York Hera/d’s pert and sweeping allegations against all such Washington estab- lishments as was embraced in the bill of fare, the capitai manner in which the dinner was prepared and served, and (what is by means & matter of indifference to one who has a pen- chant for good living) the promptness, quiet and efficiency with which the requirements of the guests were attended to. We publish the bill of fare to verify our as- sertion, that it afforded any man an opportu- nity of making really as good a dinner as is obtainable in any other quarter of the eoun- try—New York not excepted—at a hotel tasle WH hote. Gentlemens’ Ordinary —Soup—Terapin. Fish—Baked codfish, claret sauce. Boiled—Corned beef and cabbage, chicken and Pork, smoked tongue, turkey and oysters, celery salad.

Dessert—Almonds, raisins, filberts, oranges, prunes, pecan nuts, apples, lemon ice cream. Direct Trade.—Notbing that has of late ap- peared in print has attracted so much favor throughout the South as the letter of Senator Toombs to the late southern convention. His suggestions, as far as we can perceive, have been universally endorsed by the southern press of all political parties—an anomaly, in deed, in American politics. So general is this endorsement of the press, as to render it cer- tain that, in more than one State Legislature, his ideas will be worked into a practical shape in less than atwelvemonth. Commenting on its reception as explained above, the Charles- ton Mercury recently said : “The letter of Mr. Toombs to the Southern Commercial! Convention of Savannah ha; evi- dently made a great impression op the minds of the southern people, and we think the more they reflect upon the matter, the more strongly will they feel that it contains the germ of a system which they can develope intoeffectual use It has essentially practical bearing, and even if, in the form in which he proposes it. it shall be found imperfect in its character, and needing some modifications, it will yethe admitted that it contains an idea that is the real solution of the great question to which it refers.’’ A Correction.—The Hon. John Barney has favored us with the following brief but inter- esting note Porticy, 273 F street, Jan. 2, 1857. My amanuensis substituted the name of Mars, in the chapter from my pen, recently published in the Star, in lieu of Georges Mad’le Mars was the favorite of King Je- rome. Her splendid tiara of diamonds proved their royal descent. She and Madame Du- ebernois were the rival stars—the one ex- quisitely beautiful, and never was chastity better protected by a home exterior than in the person of the latter Mirabeau was so ugly that the boy: ked him as he passed along the street, if his face did not pain him Yet be affirmed that the handsomest man in Frauce had but half an hour’s start of him with a woman of intellect. He could approach her through the medium of her understanding, engross her attention and nestle in her heart, while the merely handcome man, content to kill with a glance, grew so much in love with himself as to have no rivals. Madame Duchenoise illustrated this theory. Her acting was of so elevated a character, her delineations so truthful to nature, that she was at once transformed into a perfect beaut: Those we admire or love are always beautiful in our eyes The Dred Scott Case —We apprehend that the current rumor that the Supreme Court have disposed (among themeelves) of the Dred Seott case is true. They have decided that Congress had no power to pass what is known as the Missouri compromise. Or, in other words, that it is unconstitutional. Judges Curtis and McLean only dissent. The latter, it will be recollected, declared his belief in its constitutionality, in an electioneering letter published during the late canvass. It is expected that the decision to which wo refer above will be rendered in due form, per- haps to-day. Confirmations —lt is caid that in the brief Executive session of the Senate to-day a large number of unquestioned nominations were confirmed, among them beiug that of the suc- cessor of Associate Judge for Nebraska, whose appointment we mentioned some days ago, They were mostly consular appointments.

In tag Sexars to-day, on motion’of Mr. Slidell, a resolution was adopted, calling on the President of the United States to furnish the Senate with copies of all correspondence between this Government and that of the Netherlands in relation to the refusal of dip lomatic agents of the latter Government to ap- pear before courts of justice of the U. States and give testimony in criminal cases, as to facts bearing thereon of which they may be cognizant. Several private bills were next reported, | and after a brief Executive session, they ad- journed over until Mondsy. In tue House, they went into committee on the private calendar (Mr, Orr in the chair) and were considering various private hills until the Star went to press.

The steamer Persia arrived in the Mersey at 7 o’clock on the morning of the 20th of De- cember. The greatest speed that she attained on her passage was 330 miles in twenty-four hours. THE CONGRESS OF PARIS. It was still supposed that the Congress of Paris would assemble before the new year, but nothing official had been stated. Count Wa- lewski, it is said, proposes that some compen- sation should be given to Russia for the loss of Belgrade; and Russia proposes to accept a piece of land between the river Tulpuk and one of its tributaries. A Paris dis says that Austria is the only Power that bas not yet named a representative to the Congregs, but Baron Hubner will probably represent Aus. tria and Baron Bruno Russia. GREAT BRITAIN. Transports are being taken up in England for Palatcrosiaats to the Indian expedition against Persia. Eight regiments have orders to be in readiness Capt. Hartstein and the officers and crew of the Resolute are to return home in a British ship From want of time they had to decline invitations to dine with the Geographical So- ciety and other public bodies Three thou- sand persons visited the Regolute after the Queen left. The Queen sent £100 to be dis- tributed among the crew. A great meeting had been heid at Birming- ham to protest against the continuance of tho war income tax. Resolutions were passed that the law, in its present form, is unjust, oppres- sive, degrading, and not to be tolerated by a free people. The movement is spreading to other parts of the country FRANCE An editorial in the Moniteur onthe Neufeha- tel affair had attracted considerable attention. It speaks in harsh terms reepecting Switzer- land, The Prince of Prassia, presently at Paris, is the bearer of an autograph invitation to Emperor Napoleon to visit Berlin in the spring. it is said the Emperor has accepted the invi tation. A deputation of Moldo-Wallachian Boyards in Paris have presented an address to the eel in favor of a union of the Principali- ties. Several of the French papers are advocating the establishment of a government line of steamers. ‘The Constitutionnel says the pres- ent state of the money market is the sole bar- rier. The Siecle proposes a government sub- sidy to the existing transatlantic steamers, and adds that government is about to consider the question of a transatlantic line—a ques- tion that has been adjourned so often, and which catastrophes, such as the loss of the steamer Pacific, the City of Fhiladelphia and the Lyonnais, render more than ever indis- pensable. GERMANY. A Berlin letter estates that the Prussian note relative to Neufchatel would be read to the German Diet on the 18th of December. PRUSSIA. Prussia is making great preparations to move against Switzerland. Considerably more than two army corps, as at first intended, will be mobilized for immediate service. SWITZERLAND. A Paris dispatch says a friendly Power (not named) is understood to have suggested that Switzerland should be required to accede to Prussia’s demand for the release of the Neuf- chatel prisoners by a collective note from the Powers which signed the protocol of London. This would enable Switzerland to make an honorable retreat ITALY. A Sardinian loan of sixty millions livres is talked of A Te Deum was celebrated at Milan fer the escape of the King of Naples from assassina tion. The Austrian Archdukes and all the officers were present. NAPLES. Correspondence from Naples contains an ac- count of the trial and last moments of Milans. When asked how long he had contemplated this act, he replied, ‘‘ Ever since the King perjured himself ’’ On the scaffold his de- meanor was firm. The soldiers of his battal- ion were deeply moved, and some of them wept. Some of the English residents at Na- ples have presented a letter of congratulation to the King. AUSTRIA. The state of public feeling is reported to be so bad in Hungary, that the Austrian heads of depar ments are to meet in consultation on the subject PERSIA, The death of the Shah’s young son prevented a six days’ rejoicing, which was to have been held at Teberen on account of the fall of He- rat, The British citizens in Teheren are placed under the protection of the Turkish embassy.

The failure of Kobert Johnson & Co., ware- housemen, London, and George Ashworth & Co , manufacturers, Manchester, is announced The liabilities of the latter are about £100,000 The fall of Herat, from Persian sources, is confirmed.

Murdoch has made anoth- er great hit at the Haymarket, as Alfred Evelyn, in Bulwer’s Comedy of Money. The London News says:—Mr. Murdoch’s person- ation of the hero was excellent—manly, ener- getic, and softened by many fine and tender scenes of nature and feeling. He has great power in expressing strong and overwhelming emotion, without overstepping the boundary which divides comedy from tragedy, and his burst of rapture in the last scene had an effect similar to that of his remarkable piece of act- ing in The Inconstant. He is more successful in serious than in light comedy.

Grorertown, Jan. 2, 1857, The N.w Year made its advent clad in the chilling mantle of the monarch of winter, re- minding those of our people wha are blessed with this world’s goods that, when the streets and the houses are white in the town, and their bowl smokes with something warm, that’s the time to remember the poor. Weare pleased, however, to be able to record the fact that but few of our more fortunate citizens need any such admonitions to urge them to this particu- lar duty Doubtless no city can be found in the more 1 benevolence than does in ours. And on theother band it wonld be hard the Union where there exists amon; wealthy more of to find another place of the same magnitude, where there is, as a general thing, less of abject poverty—real want in winter, than in George- This is is the result not only of the be- nevolent disposition of our citizens individual- ly but of the existence of the Female Union the poor and the Collegeand Convent Fromthetablesof these two institutions we should not be in error were we to say that from fifty to one hundred poor persons are daily soppie’ with good and town. mnevolent Socicty, for furnishin with fuel and the necessaries of life, wholesome food. So that with the individual charities of our citizens, the operations of the Female Union Benevolent Society, and the bounties dispensed by the College and Con- vent, thedreary winter is shorn of much of its rigorous terrors to the poor and needy. The old year, which has just been gathered to the ages past, has been crowned with much calculated to cause us, a3 a community, to re- joice and feel grateful to the great Disposer of events. Never have we known the general health of our people to be better than during the year 1856. It is true, a number of our useful and highly respected citizens have died during that period, but still we believe if the bill of mortality for the year could be correctly ascertained it would be found to fall below the general average. Our citizens have also been almost entirely exempt from calamities, either by fire or flood. Doubtless, if the en- tire loss by fire in our city during the year could be ascertained, it would not amount to $2,000. We have also, with one single ex ception, been exempt from those political commotion, mobs and riots which have dis- graced some ot our neighboring cities. It is true, we have had more of political rancor than was ever known among us in former years, beard much in the way of harsh threats calculated to cause a timid person to look to the future with some fears; but like the for- mer, an overruling Providence seems to have controlled this matter too. It has beena year, too, of more than ordinary prosperity to our business men generally. The records of many large flouring mills, the custom-house, post office, of our flour inspector, the number of new private improvements for business and other purposes—all tend to prove that the year which has just closed has been one of more than ordinary prosperity, &c., to us asa coinmunity. A murderous assault was committed on Officer Silence, on Wednesday night, by a party of six or eight negroes, (non-residents of our city,) part of them slaves. About 12 o'clock on that night Mr Silence went to the colored Methodist church, where a watch- meeting was being held, to see that all was right. When he arrived there he found par- ties about the building acting disorderly, and arrested the ringleader While on the way to the watch-house he was assaulted by some of the party, who had followed, when near Mr. Dean’s residence, receiving a severe blow in the forehead from a stone, which felled him to the ground. While down, be was beat about the head with a heavy bottle, and also kicked and beat in a most villainous manne. Doubt- less he would have been murdered, but for several colored men of our city, who, hearing the difficulty, went to his rescue. They suc- ceeded in capturing one of the villains, and delivered him to the captain of the night- watch, and another was arrested yesterday morning by Officer Kitchen. Justice Reaver committed them to jail bier are slaves— named Becket and Slater. r. Silence was taken home by two of the colored men who went to his rescue, where Dr. McCall dressed his wounds 8.

Ayer’s preparations. They have adopted them into general use in their prac- tice, which shows a willingness to contenance articles that have intrinsic merits which de- serve their attention. This does the iearned profession credit, and effectually contradicts the prevalent erroneous notion that their op- position to proprietary remedies is based in their interest to discard them.
