WASHINGTON crry: SATURDAY May 30, 1857. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Intelligencer, in commenting upon the ovation to General Walker in New Orleans, thinks— “ That one who has deliberately renounced the high Deyo: and proud name of a ‘citizen of the United States’* to become a roving adventurer under a far other banner than that of the stri and the stars. and who has thus expatriated him- seif in contravention of our municipal law, as well as ta defiance of the law of all civilized na- tions, should, at the close of a career marked by the carnage of his deluded followers and the op- pression of those to whom he came in the guise of achimpion and di: livecer, be welcomed by the plaudits cf --teu thousand”’ voices in the streets of an American city, cannot be regarded as avery happy augury for either the int liggence, haman- ity or patriotism cf those who participated In such ill-directed acclamation The Union isoceupied with news matters and correspondence ——__—_—_--3-———____-— WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. “When tae Governuent Works ERE ARE Fixisnep’’— is a common expression among those who reflect little upon the progress of the country in agriculture, the arts, indus- trial improvements, &c., &e. It involves an entire misapprehension of a fact assuredly in- cidental to the future of Washington, if the Union holds together and this city continues to be the Seat of its Government. So long ns theze two things continue, ‘the Government Works here” will never be “ finished.’? As our coun- try increases anywhere, in population ; as new railroads, farms. water-courses, &e., are open- ed; as more machinery, stean:bua: hips, &e., come into use—all requiring the transaction of more business on the Government's behalf in thig city—so must the edifices and facilities for its transaction multiply. When Franklin was Postmaster General. it will be remembered, all the accounts of the General Post Uttice Depart- ment, of all descriptions, were kept in a single ledger. Now, thousands are required to the same end. From the removal of the seat of government te Washington city until to-day, the Govern- ment has been altering, extending, building, and in every conceivable way adding to the fa- eilities fur the transaction of its business here; increasing its annual expenses of that deserip- tion paré passu with the increase of the popu- lation of the country and of its industrial re- sources. Yet. to-day, the pressure upon its cramped facilities here is almost as great as at any moment in the last half century. No bet- ter type of the expansion of our national terri- tory, industry. numbers. power and interests is to be conceived. than is involved in the growth of these facilities and the population of the Federal metropolis. But two or three years ago the Interior Department proper was cooped up in a private edifice on F street. Already the magnificent wing of the Patent Office build- ing, subsequentiy completed for its temporary | accommodation, is absolutely required for the purposes for which it was originally designed— for the accommodation of branches of the Pat- ent Office Bureau, which expands so rapidly in importance us a business institution. In the next year or two a new structure for the accommodation of the Interior Department | must necessarily be eommenced. which. when finished must be a larger and more elaborate pile than the whole building. in a single wing of which its affairs are now transacted ; State, Navy and War Department buildings, each one of which must be larger, and cost ten | timee as much as all three of the buildings now thus occupied A new City Prison of at least double the ea- pacity of the present one, must also be almust | at once built. with all the improvements made necessary by the increased skill, genius and desperation of raseality over those qualities of the rascality of the times when the present one was built. We might mention a dozen other public improvements which ail retiecting and of which. the advonce the country will ha made in the meanwhile will as forcibly suggest the necessity for new ones as yet undreamed | of. He who entertains the idea that the Goy- ernment can ever cease putting up great struc- tures and making vast improvement here. must surely be looking forward to the advent of the | era when our country will cease growing in | power, commerce. agriculture, population. and in the arts and scienc Tae Exp Oy't —There is a moral in the end of Walker's burglarious raid on N ‘aragua that should be enforced on the American public mind in these times, by all really interested in the future character of the population of the United States. Hence the persistence with which we keep the subject before the Srar’s readers, under a sense of mora! duty which has not permitted us to fag an instant for long years in itsdischarge. We rejoice to know that our position on this subject and the earnestness with which it was defended has done at least its share in bringing about the expulsien of those who disgraced the name of Americans from Nicaragua. In so doing. we have done much towards reopening the Nicaraguan isthmus route to the commerce and travel of our countrymen, as well as to demonstrate to the comprehension of all Americans, that those who would get such by treachery, murder and robbery abroad, will as eureiy in the end fail victims before the high- er law of a just Providence. as those who es. to live by murder, robbery, &c.. in our own land will pey the law’s penalties of their of- fences against the statutes of the land We subjoin the following article on this Nicaraguan theme—as being well worth perusal—from the New York Commercial Advertiser of Thursday evening | Tue Exp at Last —We chronicle to -day £ from the seene of Lis vel to all perSons who have looked dispassionately at the oligin, nature and progress his expedition. is that he has been enabled so long to postpone the catastrophe, OF to escape with his life.

Such an adventurer, who bad suffered much, though he had achieved nothing, would be an object of curiosity any where. And there are many reasons why at New Orleans curiosity should grow into undeserved Spplause. Indeed the man has shown elements character which, displayed ina just and righte- | those who have of Walker and | » create in some j adage, a + < j ons cause, would be most commendable. What- ever fanlts may adhere to his character—and a despotic tyrannical disposition and desire for self-aggrandixement, which makes him reckless of the peace and lives of others, are nnene them— he possesses a fortitude and indomitable perse- verance and self-reliance which, though pervert- ed, excite wonder if not admiration. But, for lack of a sound moral sense and sober judgment, _ piicone y these qualities have Lege ogre 4 been what base and immoral ition | devoted! Aidwhta Faition! ‘Thousands of lives sacriticed at the shrine of pestilence and pi- ratical warfare. For of the thousands who flocked to his standard, probably not five hundred survive at this hour; and of this scanty remnant perhaj one-half are doomed to life-long age and the others are demoralized in principle, and for life led in purpose. ery to this the misery that has been inflicted upon families, the damage done to our national reputation and to public morals, the slaughter and destruction wrought in a neighboring and friendly country, and the wealth expended, with the many indescribable evils that have followed and will yet follow in the wake of the expedition, and who, with a human impulse in his heart can fail to regard the whole business with horror and unqualified condemnation? And then what has been achieved? Not an acre of territory has been acquired. Nota cent of returns for the tens of thousands of dollars expended. Nota single foot added to the area of liberty to compensate for the unjust means empl professedly for that ob- ject. The history of the expedition from the first is one of expenditure, slaughter, demoralization and—utter failure. ** Walker and his companions ought to be tried and punished by their own countrymen for their bold and persistent violations of their country’s laws; but we have a very faint expectation that they will be, albeit our national reputation de- mands their indictment at the hands of the United States Government. It cannot now be pleaded that Walker and his followers have expatriated themselves or are beyond the reach of the laws of the United states; and it surely will not be con- Jed that their temporary absence from the country ws then from the operation of their country’s laws, now that they have returned. It is easy to see where such a doctrine would lead Bot, although the Government may be indisposed or unable to vindicate the national reputation by the punishment of these its citizens, we indulge the | that the filibustering proclivity of the restless spirits among us has, for a time at least, received its quietus. Twice within a few years has it been proved, upon a scale of considerable that filibusterism is both unprotitable . It was so in Cuba—it has been so And as long as moral principle is recognized among men, and the great law of cause and etfect remains in operation, it must be un- rofitable and disastrous. Nothing so palpably mitiated in wrong, and so defiant of morals, pa- triotism and international justice, can be perma- nently successful ; and no temporary or partial suecess should blind a nation to its iniquitousand unjustifiable character. * Nor with any mau who retains his humanity ean the most vociferous applause or the most tt tering ovations compensate for the consciousness of having violated country’s laws, or stifle, in the hours of solitude and thought, the recollec- tion of the misery he has inflicted and the lives he has sacrificed at the shrine of his reckless am- bition. With all the yloritication that greeted the fillibuster ut New Orleans, and though he may escape the punishment his deeds deserve, General Walker is not to be envied. neither are pplied the sinews of his op- erations and seduced men to join his ranks whose bones now lie ble: wz on the soil of Nicaragua. The mortification of utter failure cannot be oblit- erated from their minds, any more than the recol- lection of the fearful cost of that failure can pass from the pubiic mind. In a few months the leaders of the glance invasion of Nicaragua will find their level in the public estlmation, as have the Caban junta and the parties who then en- snared so many adventurous citizens to their rin by the equally piraticai invasion of the island of Cuba. ‘Time brings many mad schemes to sober it. and disrobes the most temptingly ies of their fictitious ¢ »verings.”* © Ligut-Hovse Keepers Appoixtep.— Yesterday, the folowing appointments were made, but the crowded state of our columns prevented their publication in the Star of that date : At Sandy Hook, N.

GEORGETOWN AFFAIRS. Correspondence of The Star. Grorcetown, May 30, 1857. Our citizens generally will doubtless be pleased. to learn that Georgetown is soon to be graced again with at least one handsome military com- pany which itcan call its own. Some eight o- ten years since, on all publie occasions, ourstreets were all alive with the numbers. and handso ly adorned with the brilliant uniforms of our three companies, viz: The Potomac Dragoons, Independent Grays, and Morgan Ritflemen. From some cause, however, they all disbanded, and ever since we have been compelled. however re- luetant, to acknowledge that there was not patri- otism enough among our 10,000 inhabitants to keep up one good military company, as an orna- ment to the town, or safeguard for protection in case of riotor anything of the kind. The re- p , We are pleased to know, is svon to be Wiped out. A number of our paeks youny men bave formed a company called the George- town City Guards, and have elected the following gentlemen as officers. Captain—J. Owens Ber- ry; First Lieutenant—John M. W Second do. —Andrew Jackson Jones; First Sergeant— Jobn B. Dav Second do. James A. White. They have already enrolled thirty members, their uniforms are now being made, and ina very short while we expect to see our streets enlivened by the strains of martial music, the eitering uni- forms, and martial appearance of the Guards, out on their first parade. The following business came up before our Board of Common Council last night: A message from the Mayor in reference to the Long Bridge by the Washington authorities, and a recommendation that the Georgetown Corpora- tion sue out an injunction against the same; re- terred to Board of Aldermen: A protest of Charles Dodge, in reference to Road Street ; referred to streets committee.
