EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON CITY: SATURDAY.........--- - oeee-April 25, 1857. THE WEEKLY STAR, Our weekly of this date contains three capi- tal stories, and more Washington news and general news items than we have space to-day to enumerate. Price, three cents for single nuin- bers, or $1.25 per year. _~—+2+e- SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Union understands “ that the Governor- ship of Utah Territory has been tendered to Major Benjamin McCullough, of Texas, and that there is every reason to believe that he will accept the office. It would be difficult to name another person who combines in himself so many qualities for the successful discharge of the duties of this important and delicat> trust as are undoubtedly possessed by Major McCullough.” “ The Union again refers “to the recent un- just, oppressive and unconstitutional acts of the New York Legislature—acts which were ma- tured and passed for no other purpose that we ean conceive of than to subjagate a great Dem- ceratic city to the thraldom of Black Republi- ean rule>” The Intellsgencer is occupied with news mat- ters. —_—_———__-2+e______ From Havana.—The steamer Cahawba, from Havana, with dates to the 20th has arrived at New Orleans. The stock of sugar at Havana and Matanzas was forty-two thousand boxes. Prices had ad- vanced one real and the market was unsettled. The United States ship of war Saratoga left Havana on the ISth for Key west, all well. Colograrn, the late defaulting exchange broker of New Orleans, had arrived at Havana, but by the order of the Captain-General he was ordered to leave the island, and a package of $15,000 was taken from him. New Prauicatio From J. Shillington we have Harper for May, containing more chapters of “Little Dorritt,”’ and in whieh the great Mer- die bubble is burst, by the suicide of the princi- pal. But the great feature of Harper is the !Nus- trated article by Strother “Porte Crayon.”* Also, from Shillington, we have No. 3 of Bur- ton's rich Cyclopedia of Wit and Humor.

From tae Towss, a DoLerce Sounp '"—Our talented, amiable, handsome, ingenuous, successful, interesting and ever-pa- triotie neighbor, deceased (and buried though he was) some months since, cries aloud from the unmentionable place ever afd anon, in tones indicating that his looks do not belie bim—or, in other words, that he is “ enjoying’ his de- serts—undergoing the tortures of thé d—d. He did so Thursday in his Weakly, wl still lin- gers on the drippings of the Washington Cor- poration, though its former friends, who pur- chased property under its peculiar style of printing tax-sales ‘‘copy,”’ are cursing the day he succeeded in inveigling the “‘ American ’ party of Washington into trusting his political discretion and his capacity to transact business like aman. He continues to howl and yelp at the Star when thus breaking the dismal silence of his grave Weakly, with all the nervous fe- rocity of his counterpart in appearance and instinets—the prairie wolf. As we can well afford to let him snarl on, knowing that the more intensely he has barked at the Star the more it has thriven through the favor, if he pleases, of those who were whilom his own political friends, we haven’t the heart to shake the dry bones of his Weakly issue in return. De morturs nil nisi bonum. But, ashe under- takes to justify the conduct of the Board of Managers of the Washington Monument Society in insisting upon conducting its affairs surrep- titiously (as they obtained their places.) we may not inappropriately quote his exposition of the grounds on which they refuse the public an | insight into their proceedings in the manage- ment of the public trust now in their hands. That effort at palliation is as follows. Viz: ‘+ This organization is no more a public one than a colonization society—a library society—an insurance company, or a bank. « The idea is preposterous, that the reporters for the press are entitled to seats at a meeting of the Board of Managers, and the farther idea, that their exclusion should excite the suspicion of the pub- lic that all is not right, is more than absurd”? Stripped of our dear neighbor's garnishing of abuse and intensely dirty vilification of his political opponents (invariably accompanying all the points he essays to make on any and all subjects.) such is the Board’s only excuse for refusing the public an insight into the manner in which they are discharging their trust. The reporters attended only to spread before the world any facts that might bo.elicited in the course of their meeting; not their own views upon those facts. That the public, who have paid every dollar so far expended in the con- struction of the Monument have the moral right to full information concerning the proceedings of the Board no sane person will dispute, unless actuated by the sinister desire to aid in con- cealing some act or acts of the Board (thus sought to be turned into a close corporation) from the scrutiny of the world. > We know well that the American party of Washington sincerely regret that the mousing advice of our gentle, talented and ingenuous neighbor was followed in originally undertaking to oust the late Board as that feat was accom- plished. Their party won an ‘“‘elephant’’ in that raffle ; and its ‘- keep’’ has cost it roundly, without the least return in the way of profit or reputation. It is already voted by them to have been, as a party speculation, almost as unfortunate a venture as that of trying to make a great party “ organ”’ out of such material as the brain and other attributes of our so inter- esting and amiable neighbor afforded. The American party here, we must, in justice, say for them, condemn as emphatically as any others, the insane conduct of the Board in this matter, as illustrated by the childish and frivo- lous excuses quoted above under which it is attempted to justify their effort to conceal their doings from the public. SrecuLation axp Activity.—The present prosperity of Washington and her future pros- pects are exciting the attention of active busi- ness men. The unprecedentedly rapid increase of population, now nearly 100,000, is a fair in- dex of what may be expected during the ensu- ing five years. Capitalists, stock-jobbers, bank- ere, and speculators will, for a period, keep things moving and in an excited, feverish state, making us familiar with the bulls and bears of Wall street transactions,—the great sharks will have their faithful little pilot fish actively em- ployed. The advantage and disadvantage, as well as good and bad qualities, of each loca- tion will, in turn, be discussed, and reported as healthy or sickly, as circumstances may be, to buy or sell; no effort will be too great to secure a good sale or purchase To intimidate the weak-minded and urge sales, suggestions will be made of the probable change of location of public buildings to more suitable positions, and to encourage purchasers in already secured locations, the prospect of public buildings being erected will become the happy man of genius. Edgar A. Poe, is buried in the Cemetery of Westminster (Presbyterian ) Charch, at the corner of Fayette and Green sts. The churchyard underlies and surrounds the building. under which, and in the family bury- ing let of his grandfather, David Poe, an officer . the War of the Revolution, moulders the frame which was quickened by such splendid powes and brokea to dust by a cankering frailly, A stone, appropriately inscribed to mark the grave, is now in preparation, at the order of a relative. At a ball recently given at the Hote: de Parts, a group, among which was the Sec- retary of Feruk Khan, were discussing the merits of the Euphrates Valley Railroad. ‘Your coun- try,”’ said a lady to the Secretary, ‘+ will then be very near tous"? ++ Yes, if the project shonid be accomplished ?*' “The difficulties of execc- tion are very great and numerous.’’ ‘Certainly, bat the English engineers will surmount them.’ “Oh!” replied the young Persian with an air of cunning, there is one inst which their sei- ence must fall; all these deserts are led with ostriches.’ --Well? ++ Well, these birds, you know, digest iron; they will eat the road up!** General exclamation, in which the Persian was declared a spiritual farceur! New Yor« Irems.—Justice Connoly on Thurs- day received a dispatch from Major B. B. French, in Washington, D.

This activity in our city affairs is the herald of its approaching greatness, which must, as the Metropolis of a great Republic, become the wonder of after ages, in its magnitude, elegance and attain- ments in art and science. When speculation is most active, men will be distrustful; doubts will exist as to the course improvements will take; where lots and farms have been pur- chased at low prices, we may expect the great- est efforts will be made; of course this distri- bution of capital will, for a time, appear disad- vantageous; we think the result will prove beneficial. Those who are easily warned of the dangers of straying too far, and watch the signs of the times, will do well, always remembering that “there is a tide in the affairs of men which, when taken at the flood, leads on to fortune.”’ Sprives’ Iuposition.—The Charleston Mer- cury, noticing the alleged recent change in the proprietorship of the celebrated Greenbrier White Sulphur Springs, says with truth indeed - “ Althongh much frequented, the White Sul- phur Springs have always been to the invalid and pleasure-seeker alike, a bugbear. They are noto- tious for subjecting the traveler to all possible discomforts and annoyances prevalent at such places. We hope for great changes and a new era hereafter. grand reform is needed inthe establishment, both in the efficiency of the gen- eral management and supervision, and in the number, capacity and cleanliness of the attend- ants; male and female—at the table and in the chambers. Guests emphatically need the protec- tion of the proprietors, and should no longer be turned loose there upon (he cold charity of inso- lent officials. and « prey to menial pillage and extortion. The system of “private dishes,’’ as practised at the eee table of these Springs, is @ nuisance almost tantamount to a swindle. Per- sons are required to pay full prices for victuals and attendance to the Proprietors first, and then still more extravagant Prices to the waiters—in short. are placed af the mercy of the slender cor, of black bullies, who scuffle with one another the dishes to satisfy those who pay well, and to tlarve those who think one price sufficient.

A true gentleman must be pushed for something to eat ere stooping to buy an ovei- bare of attention from the menials of such an establishment. The best possible, and indeed the only possible way to avoid being thus victimized is to keep away from the (nom- inally) leading watering places. Those who visit them for the sake of aught but to indulge in dissipation,,will find all they can seek at hundreds 6f ther such establishments of less pretensions, with really refined society and de- gent behavior om the part of all the employees. There age 8 dozen different mineral springs— chalybeate, sulphur, alum, éc.—within one hundred miles of this city, where, for half the money, the invalid or other visitor can enjoy ten times the real advantages and comforts to be obtained at the Greenbrier White Sulphur ; and as many villages within a like distance, from which, in an hour’s drive, one may reach three or four different descriptions of mineral Springs, equal to any improved ones in health- restoring qualities. The village of Culpeper Court House, Va., isanexample. It contains 1,200 inhabitants and two or three capital but unpretending hotels—schools, churches, and society equal to those of any quarter of the Union ; and within a circle of eight miles one can find two sulphur springs, two chalybeate and an alum spring, not to be excelled in any section of the State. A family may épend the season there (keeping a carriage) for perhaps one-fourth as much as it would cost (without keeping a carriage) at either of the Greenbrier Springs. The scenery around Culpeper Court House is unsurpassed in the State, and it can be reached in four or five hours from Richmond and two and a half from Alexandria. Mai Lettixes.—Postmaster General Brown has just let to contract about fifteen hundred mail routes, under the advertisements issued in January last. About two-thirds of these are in the New England States and New York. Owing to the several processes which the proposals re- ceived have to pass, of deciphering, endorsing, comparing and recording, these annual lettings devolve a very heavy and responsible duty upon the officers and head of the Post Office Department. Owing to the circumstances that the expenses of mail contractors in the way of purchasing and maintaining stock on their lines is much greater than in former years, and that the new Postmaster General aims to give all | sections of the country liberal mail supply, the new contracts will, we understand, be some- what more ‘expensive than the existing ones.

The accounts were then delivered to the ‘Examining Clerks”’ in the Auditor's office, by whom the entire number was examined, adjusted, and passed to the “Registers” for analysis and registry prior } to the 5th instant. The registration has been completed, and among other facts presented, it is ascertained that postage stamps and stamped envelopes amounting to $1,309,068.40 were sold by post- masters during the quarter ending December 31, 1856, $1,201,338.60 of which were used witl.- in the quarter; the amount of letter postage paid in money was $221,608.12; the postage on newspapers and pamphlets amounted to $155,- 722.81, and on ‘‘registered letters’’ to $9,393.80. The net revenue to the Department from post- ages was $925,151.80, and the compensation al- lowed to postmasters amounted to $540,067.10.
