EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON CITY: FRIDAY .. + May 15, 1857. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Intelligencer moralizes over the prurient press. That is, upon the evils inflicted on society by the wonder-mongering journals of the day, that seek popularity by pandering to the vicious tastes of those who seek horrors and beastiality in newspapers. The Intelligencer’s rebukes to those communities wherein such journals flour- ish are remarkably well poised. The Union contains an admirable sketch of the Secretary of the Interior, the Hon. Jacob Thompson, and announces Col. J. K. Howard as the Democratic candidate for Congress from the district of Tennessee last represented by the Hon. Mr. Ready. ~———__+2+e-______ -- WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. Governor Warkxer.—On reaching New York, on Monday evening last, Governor R. J. Walker was entertained at the Astor House by a party of his personal friends, and what they said after the cloth was removed of course found its way into the papers of the suceeeding morn- Gov. Walker, on the occasion in question, laid down his “platform”? of a policy in Kansas which we republish, because, in the present condition’of affairs there, he can do nothing or hold no positions with reference to the polities of the Territory, that are not of great import- ance to the public at largee. His remarks will be read with interest, therefore, in all quarters of the country. We quote them, as follows: He believed that neither Massachusetts, Con- necticut nor Missouri had any more right to say what the institutions of Kansas should be, than the people of Kansas had to say what the institu- tions of Massachusetts, Connecticut and Missouri should be. It is entirely wrong and unconstitu- tional for the people of any state to interfere with the affairs or institutions of anyother. Each was sovereign and independent, and was entitled to the full and fair exercise of that sovereignty and independence. He was prepared and determined to apply these principies to the administration of affairs in Kansas. *« The ‘people’ of that Territory had aclear and unquestionable right to decide for themselves upon the adoption of a State constitution,—and any attempt on the part of any Convention, or any other body of men, however respectable and in- fluential they might be, to impose upon the Ter- ritory a constitution not sanctioned y the popu- lar vote, would be a usurpation and a wrong which could not be tolerated tee a moment. So far as the utmost exercise of his official powers and personal influence would go to secure that result, Governor Walker said he was determined «the people of Kansas should have an oj tunit: for a full, free and solemn expression of their will upon the adoption of any constitution that might be framed—after a fair and satisfactory census of all the bona tide inhabitants who might be in the Territory at the time. He considered this due to them ~* ft was part of their inherent and inalienable sovereignty. And he should consider it, not only @ poiut of law and of official duty. as an officer of the Territory, but -- a point of honor asa man and agentiewan,’’ todo everything in his power to secure to them the full, fair and undisputed exer- cise of this fundamental right. This = believed to be the great point essential to the oan and welfare of Kansas. If the people could have such a vote, all dissensions would settled. And he regarded all the past differences—the contents about the Legislature, about the Topeka Consti- tution, about the census and register of voters—as Ss questions ; important, undoubtedly, at deriving most of their consequence from their relation to this great and paramount question,— the right of the tg of Ranens to decide for themselves upon the Constitution which may be offered for their adoption. If this could be prop- erly and satisfactorily adjusted. all the di icul- ties which now embarass the settlement of the Territory would disappear." Isteres TING Questions SettLep.—Wehear that the Attorney General has, in an opinion very recently given to the Interior Department, affirmed that it is the duty of the Government to grant an ebsolute fee simple patent to the Christian Indians to their lands purchased of the Government, which were formerly the lands of the Delawares. 2d. That the fee simple title to the lands in question is rested in the tribe (Christian) asa tribe. 3d. That the tribe can alienate them by treaty, with the Gorernment’s consent—and only by treaty. ‘These decisions cover the point aimed to be secured by the Christian Indians, we appre- bend. That is: they authorize arrangements to be made by which their lands may be sold, the Proceeds of the sale turned over to the Dela- ware Trust Fund, and they (the Christian In- dians) may be hereafter incorporated in and with the Delaware tribe. The necessary preliminary will, of course. be & new treaty between the Government and the Christian Indians, under which the former will be authorized to make the necessary sales and to pay over the proceeds into the Delaware Trust Fund, and probably another treaty with the Delawares, authorizing the Christian In- dians hereafter to become participants in the benefits of their common property A Carirat Letter —We havo read with no little interest the correspondence between Mr. Lacoture. the agent of the French Steamship Company that proposes to establish a line of trans-Atlantic steamers running into Chesa- peake Bay, and the Governor of Virginia, (Gov- ernor Wise,) with the view tu encourage the company to establish the line, reviews the re- eources, the condition (industrial,) and the pros- Pects (commercial) of the State, with a master pen. His letter is the hest we ever saw from un- der his prolific hand. It is the result of careful study of his trust—the affairs of the State—and shows that he has investigated them with due fidelity and earnest solicitude to discharge his whole duty aa her Executive. Its extensive re- publication in Europe, which will doubtless take Place, cannot fail to attract the attention of European capitalists to the remarkable indus- trial resources of Virginia, and to the fact that her business affairs are at this moment as traly prospering as those of any other state, country, or people under the sun. Ere long the business world will come to comprehend that nowhere else will investments pay a higher profit and be invariably safer than in Virginia and in business connected with her. CoxceytrateD Foon. —w proper authority of the War ordered 150.000 rations of pots cme put up by the house of Chollin & Co., of Paris, This new description of foud for the Army of the United States is to be used upon the Plains It is for making soup, and has been adopted for the English, French, and Sardinian armies. The cost at which it is to be delivered at our Army depots on the Atlantic coast is about one and a balf cents per ration. It is said that a eubic yard of the preparation ix sufficient to make a plate of excellent, most palatable and nutritious soup, around, for 25,000 men! As the preparation is now no experiment, having for a considerable time been in use in the ar- mies and navies of Europe, it is very certain that its introduction into the military service of the United States is to prove a great economy, if but in the way of the cost of transportation on the Plains, as well as an improvement in the style of the American service ration. e hear that the An Inportaxt Decision.—The public a:e eware that the Indian Bureau and the Secre- tary of the Interior have refused to admit the Heyy of a Mr. Hartford T. Of ground containi: than eight acres situated immediately adjoin, ing the city of Leavenworth, Kars. In refu- sing assent to the claim of Mr Clarke, t’ ernwent here affirm an imports n‘ Princip! Clarke ciaims that as the tract was hot put up for sale with the lands surrounding it at the date Delaware trust lands sale (forming & por- lands, as it did) he was entitled, to settle on it after the sale and to demand all the rights and privileges of such settlers who located on the said lands prior to thé sales in question, secured to them by the Government. The Indian Bureau deny his right i” toto, hold- ing that the particular tract was not put up for sale, because it was expressly reserved for pub- lie (city) purposes in connection with the new city of Leavenworth, and that it is the joint property of all who bought town lots in Leayen- worth at thatsale. That this decision is correct there cannot be a doubt. AvaBama.—We have very recent political news from Alabama on which the reader may rely. Thus, it is questionable whether Mr. Shorter will have opposition for Congress. If so, however, the contest will be but a nominal one in his (the second) district, as there is no possibility of defeating him. Messrs. Dowdell, Houston and Cobb are equally as certain of be- ing returned. Mr. Stallworth, who was Mr. Walker's opponent at the last election, (in the Mobile district,) is again the Democratic nomi- nee. His election is rendered certain by the accession of Mr. Walker and his host of person- al friends, some time since, to the Democratic party. There can be no doubt that J. L. B. Curry (Democrat) will be elected from the dis- trict of the late lamented Sampson Harris. The Democrats are laboring with might and main to defeat Mr. Smith, with every prospect of suc- cess. On the whole, it strikes us as being well nigh a moral certainty that the Alabama dele- gation in the next Congress will be unanimous- ly Democratic.

Few others of his age even with ten- fold his advantages have earned for his country so much substantial mechanical fame. He was cut off by the sad accident which resulted in his untimely death, ere he had commenced to reap for himself a reward for his genius, enterprise, and triumph as the most successful designer of merchant ships in the world. That New York city, as proud of his fame asa ship builder as she certainly is, suffers his widow and children to want, tells far more emphatically of her yan- ity, than for her substantial benevolence. Cuartes L. Weurer, Esq., Postmaster of San Francisco, California, reached Washington city this morning. He comes on business with the Post Office Department. His numerous frietids in this city will be glad to hear that he appetrs in excellent heaith, and as though life on the Pacific coast agrees with him capitally. Ixstrvctions.—This morning, the General Land Office duly forwarded the necessary in- structions to its agents in Kansas for the sales of the Iowa and other trust lands to commence at Iowa Point, Kansas Territory, on the 3d proxino, under the supervision of Hon. Norman Eddy, special commissioner. Tue Bins ror tHe Work on THE Aqueptcr. We learn that the necessary calculations to en- able the functionary designated by the law to award the contracts for the work on the Aquo- duct have been made, and that they are now all before the Secretary of War. AppitioxAu Navas Courts or Ixquiny.— The rumors that other such Courts have been ordered to convene are unfounded, though we shall not be surprised to find that the Navy De- partment shortly determines that the services of more of them are indispensable. Commopore Coxnor.—It is said in nayal cir- cles here, that this distinguished officer is about to be detached from his presentduty as amem- ber of the Third Naval Court of Inquiry, in session here, and that Capt. Gregory will proba- bly be ordered to take his place upon it. Resicxep.—We hear on the Avenue to-day that Lt. Lardner Gibbon, U. 8. Navy, has re- signed. 2+ e New Pusiications.—From Franck Taylor we have the North American Review, of April, 1857. The present, as well as the preceding number of the North American, shows abundant internal evidence of the work of new and able hands Among the articles of much literary excellence are those entitled ‘« Influence of the English Lit- erature on the German; + Holidays ;”” «Rus. kin’s Last Volume ;’’ “ Oliver’s Puritan Com- monwealth;’? ‘“‘ Robert Herrick;”? “ The British Essayists;’’ «« Contemporary French Literature;”? and “* The Real and Ideal in New England.” From J. Shillington we have Miss Leslie's new cookery book, “ being the only new work on cookery published by Miss Leslie for the last twenty years, and only first issued on May 1, 1857.”° Miss Leslie isa standard authority with all good housekeepers, and nothing could supplant her old works upon cookery save this improved one by the same hand.

Th: o he-, on the avthorit one of Walker's office’s, is, that the Fillibuster Chief was still at Rivas, with “300 men,”” and with promise of a ‘fresh reinforcement from Cal- ‘Mornia.”” The weight of evidence seems to be on the side ofthe the New Orleans story, especially as the San Francisco papers have not a word to say in regard to the departure, or contemplated depart- ure of any ‘‘schooner,’? with reinforcements.

Jol The-Jamestown Celebra’ Correspondence of The Star. j Jamestown, May 13, 1857. ~My Dear Star: 1 sent you a few lines from Norfolk to announce the safe arrival of your friends of the « Jamestown Society of Washing- ton’? at that ancient city. _ [ now continue a brief narrative of our pilgrimage to the spot of the first — of Virginia, and of the proceedings there. * At 5o’clock this vetting our steamer, the Powhatan, left her dock at Norfolk, closely fol- lowed by the steamers J. E. Coffee, Curtis Peck, and Seabird, of that city, and the Georgia, of Bal- timore, all crowded to their utmost capacity with passengers. Arriving at the scene of the celebra- tion, we found the splendid sea steamers James- town, from New York, and Norfolk, from Phila- delphia, and the Maryland, from Richmond, had preceded up. Other steamers from different points, arrived during the day, and by noon the river presented a most beautiful panorama of steamers and sailboats, with their barges inces- santly blying between them and the shore. Arriving upon the ground, we found many tem- porary booths and the tents of the military al- Teady erected, and one regiment of volunteers, commanded by Col. R. M. Carey, of Richmond. ‘This comprised the following companies : Fayette Artillery, Capt. Clopton. Richmond Grays, Lieut. Boisseau. Young Guard, Capt. Richardson. Montgomery Guards, Capt. Moore. National Guards, Capt. Bayly. Virginia Rifles, Capt. Lybrook. Petersburg Artillery, Capt. Nicholls. Norfolk Junior Volunteers, Capt. Robinson About noon, the booming of the artillery an- nounced the arrival of other distinguished visit- ers. These were a splendid regiment of volun- teers from Portsmouth, commanded by Col. D. 8. Walton. and comprising the following compa- nies, viz: Portsmouth Rifles, Capt. Richardson. National Guards, Capt. Dean. Marion Rifles, Capt. Hodges. Dismal Swamp Rangers, . Choate. Webster Cadets, Capt. Phi ape Old Dominion Guar is, Capt. Kearns * Immediately after, the arrival of the distin- guished orator, ex-President ‘Tyler, was an- nounced. He was received by the executive com- mittee of the Jamestown Socfety, and, with Mrs. Tyler, Gen. John Tyler, Jr., and several younger children of the orator, conducted toa large and handsome stand erected for the occasion. His Excellency Gov. Wise, who had reached the ground early in the morning, was next waited upon by the committee and also invited to occupy a xeat on the stand. Theceremonies were now commenced by Philip R. Fendall, Esq., of Washington, the President of the Jamestown Society, in a few appropriate remarks, upon the conclusion of which he intro- duced the Rev. Mr. Wilmer of the E iscopal Church, who offered up a prayer to the Throne of Grace. The orator was next introduced, and en- chained the attention of the audience for about two hours. He was followed by James Barron Hope, Esq., with a poem. These productions are highly and justly eulogized, and I anticipate for them a very general publication throughout the Union. Great desire wax expressed to hear Gov. Wise and the venerable and distinguished orator of Ar- lington, (the old man eloquent,) who had accom- panied the society to Jamestown, but the lateness of the hour prevented either of those gentlemen from taking the rostrum. Mr. Wise, however, in answer to the call, made a few remarks in his usual fervent style of eloquence. The Norfolk Junior Volunteers were accompa- nied By the Town Sergeant, who bore with him avery arge and tnassive silver mace, (the e of authority of that officer,) which was presented to the city by Gov. Dinwiddie in the year 175?— one hundred and four years ago—and which had not been used out of the city since the celebration Gn Spam in 1807, and ‘never before that pe- riod. There could not have been less than eight or ten thousand persons in attendance at the celebra- tion. embracing many ladies, and about one thou- sand handsomely uniformed and well-disciplined volunteers, accompanied by several excellent bands of music. As night approached the steamers an to leave, and when the Powhatan took her jepart- ure at 7 o'clock, the spot became almost as quiet as it has been for the lost century and a half. Among the few and dilapidated tombstones re- maining in the church yard. some bear date ante- rior to the year 1700, and few afterward. SteaMER Pownatan, May 14, 1957. We left Jamestown about 7 o’cloc! » and soon after sat down to a most sumptuous dinner, at which our invited guests—Ex-President Tyler. Governor W ise and others—were only prevented from attending on account of the lateness of the ter proceeding down the James river for eignteen or twenty miles, we ran a: round ; but this did not dampen the ardor or chill the enthu- siasm of the company, who spent a large portion of the night in the delivery of toastsand speeches. Amongst the speakers were Mr. Fendall, Mr. Custis. Hon. Mr. Parris of Maine, Mr. Harbour of lowa, J. C. Brent, Esq - and several others. The excursion has, indeed, been a pleasant one; for mach of which we are indebted to Capt. Geo. Mattingly, jr.. for his attention and politeness, and to his indefatigable steward and caterer, Mr T. M. Harvey, who has the praise of every one for the most bountiful supply of provisions which was spread before his guests. T. GEORGETOWN AFFAIRS. Correspondence of The Star. Grorcetown, May 15, 1857.

NATIONAL TyPoGRaPuicaL Usion.—During the fourth day’s meeting of this body, in session at New Orleans, it was resolved that, in the opinion of the Union, it is neither wise in policy nor correct in principle that anything should be enacted relative to the control ot the interna! af- fairs of printing offices ; but this Union is of opin- ion that it is the interest of the trade, as well as that of the employers, that as few departments should exist as practicable. Also, that a well defined scale of prices should be established by subordinate unions; and that in making important changes conciljatory methods should be followed. During the fifth day’s seasiona discussion arose upon the mee of Eerentiereh is in which a good deal of diversity of opinion was expressed, some contending that an apprentice should be allowed wherever seven journeymen are em- ployed; others thought that where four journey- | men are employed an Spprentice should be al- lowed. The gentlemen from New York and Cincinnati thought that such a system could not be enforced in the cities they represznted. Indeed, in those and other large cities there were almost as many apprentices in the offices as journeymen. The gentleman from St. Louis said that if action Cooper, Capt. Travers, ix cargo of ship bread and were taken on the Sperone — another del- jeate question would arise. He alluded to the employment of females. In many of the North- ern cities girls were taken into the offic: s as ap Prentices, and were afterwaids employed ut jou.- neywork. He thought the question should be lett to the local unions. if The Committee on New Business reported agairst tle establishment of a Pprnaghd taste under the direct management of the Union, bu. recommended the support of any journal devoted to the interests of the craft which may be estab- lished by private enterprise.
