EVENING STAR. SPIRIT OF THE.MORNING PRESS. The Union to-day expatiates upon the Con- necticut election, condemning severely the in- terference of the pulpit in it against the Demo- erats. 2 The Jutelligencer, referring te the now almost certain abolishment of the Danish « Sound Dues,’’ says : ++ The result above announced is perhaps as rea- sonable a settlement of the Sound Dues question as the circumstance of the case would allow, though jt falls short of the ground first taken by our Government, requiring the total abolition of all charges by Denmark. “ We have from time to time kept our readers advised of the progress of the controversy and of the negotiations for its settlement. The first earn- est movement to resist the payment of these dues was mode by the United States, and. when other nations followed it up, the first proposition from Denmark for a composition or commutation was made to the United States, and its assent asked as @ means of influencing the decision of other Pow- ers. The answer was, that our Government could consent to no arrangement which contained the admission of the right of Denmark to interrupt our commerce with the Baltic by taxing ships or eargoes for the right of passing through the Straits. It was nevertheless said that the United States would be willing to make a certain co! nsation to Denmark for her outlays and expenditures in ore Se light-houses, buoys, and for other facilities to navigation. The Danish Government invited a congress at Copenhagen of the parties interested. and the ne- ‘otiations, which were protracted throughout the anton war, terminated at last in a treaty, to which all the maritime Powers of Eu ve assented, for the determination of the controversy as themselves by the capitalization of the au ‘or the sum of 30,570, rix dollars the King of Denmark binds himself to levy no dues whatever upon vessels of the contracting parties entering or departing from the Baltic sea, and to keep up the lights, buoys, beacons, &e., at his own charge; to provide pilots as heretofore, and allow to all Persons the privilege of runnin: steam-tugs and tows through the straits, an establish and occupy stations for that purpose. This sum is agreed to be paid by the contracting parties in the proportions of their sercral interests in the comusterce of the Baltic, in half-yearly sums, including principal and interest, ranning through twenty years. “To this general treaty the Government of the United States was not a party, but one of its pro- visions makes it binding only on the contracting parties. and permits the King of Denmark to set- tle with other parties by a separate arrangement; and hence the negotiation of the separate treaty with the United States which is just officially an- nounced to the public."* Commerctan Revatio¥® or tae Unitep States.—A superb volume, entitled as above. has recently been issued from the Bureau of | Statistics in the State Department. and is the work of the accomplished superintendent of bureau.

A slight idea of the amount of labor required to prepare this Part I. (‘Commercial Digest™’) is afforded by examining the catalogue of lead- ing authoriti in five or six different languages. The accom- plished author has succeeded not only in bring- ing together an astonishing amount of facts, but he has thrown them into a form eminently readable. It embraces an admirably-written account of | the history. character and extent of the com- uicrcial relations of the United States with each one of all fureign nations. about fifty in num- ber. together with their numerous dependencies, accompanied by nearly one thousand tabular statements. Many of these statements. illus- trative of the character and extent of the for- eign commerce of the United States, are com- prehensive and complicated, requiring an amount of labor only to be appreciated by those familiar with the subject. In conclusion, a summary statement is given, exhibiting the aggregate value of all imports into the United States from each of the princi- pal commercial countries. with their dependen- cies, annually, for a period of some thirty-five years; and the aggregate value of all exports to each of the same countries from the United States for the same time; with a summary of the commercial stipulations of all treaties be- tween the United States and foreign nations. te We are indebte@ to Joe Shillington, our enterprising and prompt fellow citizen, for part Il of Burton's Cyclopedia of Wit and Humor of Ameriea, Ireland, Scotland and England.—a very capital panacea. indeed, to cure one of the blues.

Tae Heravp ox Jerrersox Davis.—If it be true that “a — well stuck to is as good as the truth,” a Washington correspondent of the New York Herald is likely to hisve entire Sucdéss itt the manufacture of facts. t= = A short time since we exposéd the fallacy of his story about Kansas stripped of troops, tura- ed over to rioters, and deprived of her Governor by the action of the late Secretary of ‘War: If anything was wanting to make that exposure complete, the publication of the correspondence between Gov. Geary and Gen. Smith supplied it. But this correspondent now attempts by garb- ling the letter of Gen. Smith to pervert its meaning and suppress its main facts. Every one who reads the letter of Gen. Smith will see that the purpose for which Gov. Geary made his last call was not within the scope of the President's instructions, nor embraced by the laws regulating the use of the military power in the suppression of insurrection and the due exe- eution of the laws of the land. What then be- comes of the correspondent’s ‘true question,” who rescinded orders of the President which or- ders the President did not, and legally could not have issued? We did hold that the letter of Gen. Smith refuted the whole tissue of misrep- resentation contained in the startling disclosures made on the declared authority of Gov. Geary, and we relied on that portion of the letter which the Herald’s correspondent has characteristi- cally suppressed. The campaign against the Cheyennes has long been projected, and the outrages committed by them were of so horrible a nature that in his last annual report the Secretary of War ex- plained how that movement of troops had been delayed by the pressing necessity for their pres - ence in the settled portions of Kansas. The theory of the correspondent seems to be that which every cheat entertains—that conceal- ment is the rule of human action,—for we ven- ture the opinion that he has no personal ac- quaintance with Gen. Davis, and we hope our comprehension will never sink to the low level of the mousing suspicion which colors this cor- respondent's representations. An editorial of the New Orleans Delta has long since set forth in exact terms the absence of any connection or intercourse between Gen Davis and the conductors of that paper, The Vicksburg Sentinel has twice changed owners since Gen. Davis was at that place, and it is well known that he has no control over that paper; yet the correspondent, without any au- thority, re-asserts it to be his organ, and with- out the least foundation, affirms that he is re. sponsible for its article in relation to the New | Orleans Delta. Though Gen. Davis long before the meeting | of the National Convention informed his friends in a published letter that he was unwilling to be brought before that Convention for a place on the Presidential ticket, and was subsequent- | lyelected to the United States Senate, the Her- , e/d’s correspondent nevertheless insists that he was connected with the purchase of the Delta, not a party paper, for the purpose of being nominated for the Vice Presidency,—a position as sifly as it ie untrue. We know of no other Southern party than the Democratic party of the South; and the unan- imity with which that party supported the elec- | tion of Mr. Buchanan is to be found in the ; returns. The published answers of Gen. Davis | t invitations to address public meetings in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Mississippi and else- where, during the last Presidential canvass, furnish the best evidence of his sympathy with the views and wishes of his political friends in their support of the candidate of the Demoracy. Those who know Gen. Davis have no difficul- ty in obtaining the open expression of his opin- ions, and as the Herald’s correspondent has not this relation, we will inform him that Gen. Davis holds his calumnics in such contempt that he thinks we have wasted our time in no- ticing them. Assumptions which the writercould not know to be true, which probability marks as false, and for the utterance of which there could be no laudable motive, he expects every honorable mind instinctively to reject, until better authority is adduced than rumor speak- ing through the traducer himself. « Ovr New Granapras Re.ations.—We have the following letter from a correspondent in Pan- ama, an American of experience, caution and high character, in whose representations and views upon American questions in that quarter of the globe we place entire confidence. His letter will be found of great interest just at this moment, as well as the extracts from the Pana- ma Star and Herald he sends us, which we also append : Panama, April 1, 1857. Editor of the Star: As 1 anticipated, and so wrote you, this Government has, in the most in- sulting manner, rejected the Propositions of the United States fora peaceful adjustment of the — at issue between the two Governments. New Granada deserves no further forbearance at our hands; and I trust our Government will at once set the most stringent measures of re- dress. No doubt General Herran, the Charge @ Affaires from this Government. will exert him- self toinduce President Buchanan to despatch another agent to Bogota; but I hope all such efforts will prove abortive. A more unfortanate step could not be adopted, as it would result as disastronsly as the mission of Morse. Should Gen. Herran hold out inducements to our Gov- ernment that the matters in dispuse can be peace- fully settled, he ought not to he believed; for I am persuaded he hax no authority from his Gov- eznment to give any such assurance. The temper of the people of this conntry leaves not the slight- est of au amicable adjustment. { enclose two slips from the Panama Star and Herald, one ot which gives the latest news from Bogota, and the other commending the Policy adopted by Gen.
