[Editoris! Correspondence of The Star} STEAMING ON THE ROAD—PENNED BY STEAM. June 3—6¢a. m. The most fatiguing day of our jaunt so far, was yesterday, though its first half was pleas- antly spent on the Chillicothe and Cincinnati railroad, than which I really know no more agreeable one on which to travel, for it is sab- stantially constructed, well furnished, and quiet- ly and very systematically managed. Our vex- ations—and all the exeursionists fared alike in this respect—were, however.in Cincinnati, where the heat, dust, and confusion were as intermin- able as trying to the patience. Go where we would, one was overwhelmed by the crowd of, for the most part coarse people, whose sameness of appearance and gaucherie of manner, by no means strikes the stranger from the East agreeably. They—the indige- nous—who on such an oceasion block up the thoroughfares us they gape, stare, and saunter along in everybody's way, are of few them na_ tive-born, and seem to be proof against the in- fluence of courtesy towards those with whom circumstances throw them momentarily in con- tact, in enabling both parties to “get along” smoothly and pleasantly. There were tawdry de- corations in abundance in the principal streets, the windows of which seemed filled all the a ternoon with female heads. The masses of Cin- cinnati, take them all in all, look to me like anything conceivable, except the denizens of an active, energetic, enlightened and greatly ad- Mats, chacun a son gout. I heard nothing of the speeches which I learn were delivered among the portion of the com- pany who were expected to do the humbugging of the occasion ; being careful to keep as far off from them as possible, in the vain hope of en- Joying something like quiet—for writing inter- minably in a rail car in motion makes one long for a brief opportunity to. at least. endeavor to How eloquent they were. whom and what they tickled with straws, and how clearly they demonstrated the fact that such affairs are in. variably conducted—perhaps necessarily—on ‘mutual admiration’ leave the local press to diselose; my mission, cs well as my taste, being entircly in a different principle, I must We got off this morning’ on the cara of the Obio and Mississippi Railroad, at 6 a. m— twelve cars loaded to their utmost capacity, convoyed by two engines the first bend of the river (along the bank of which the road is built.) 1 obtained the best view of the city I had ever managed to get ; for it was so projected before the eye from north to south and east to west, that I realized its ex- tent from actual observation for the first time, and also got a capital idea of the tone of its finish. As far as I could perceive, the so absorb- ing matter-of-fact character of its population, is closely reflected in their architectural taste They apparently build substantially; begrudge the time necessary for cleaning up, and value the almighty dollar too highly to waste it on aught not likely in itself to yield prompt and profitable dividends. The confusion at the depot from which we left Cincinnati was, by no means, as consider- noying as had heen anticipated off as smoothly as though the train was one of an ordinary occasion, and the Joad but a tenth of what it is. that the balance of the party who are to follow us (in two subsequent trains, with an interval of half an hour between each) may fare as well Our way lay tor some distance literally through the onion beds of the eity. Judging from the quantity planted on the rich plateau upon which the road courses, one may fairly conclude that a bunch of onions should be added to the armorial bearings (a fat Porker) of the Queen City, which folks were once prone to carry in the mind's eye. such diet is nutritious, to say the least of it, and fairly accounts for the tendency of nearly every body and every thing in it to overgrowth. These onion and other vegetable gardens are evidently cultivated by Germans, who have come to monopolize the business around nearly all the cities of the country them with great skill and ind economically as that they rarely fail to prosper aswell as to rear fat children, and to fatten their wives and sweethearts to cleagenous obe- As we swept around It is to be hoped in these particulars.

How- ever, there is said to be nothing striking about it—and there is certainly nothing more striking about the cottage, which, evidently, was never made acquainted with a paint brush. At or near Aurora, an Indiana village, re- markable only for the extent of its manufacture of whisky, we left the banks of the Ohio, and entering farther into the interior of the State, traveled for some hours around hills and upa valley of great fertility, which is well cultivated, and then struck off through a most uninviting flat, over which we have been coursiug our way for an hour. W. D. W—u. ~~ eee WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. Tue Resotvtions oF Tuanks.—In our yes- terday’s report of the inauguration of the Fifty- fifth Municipal Council we noticed by their title the Joint Resolutions of ‘Thanks to those concermed in suppressing the late election riots. offered in the lower board by Mr. Jefferson, and promptly passed by that board. Below we give these resolutions for which we had not space yesterday : Joint Resolutions of Thanks to the President of the United States, to the Secretaries of the Navy and of War, to the officers and men of the United States Marine Corps who were engaged in the we ves of rioting on the Ist of June, 1857, and to the Artillery company which as- sisted subsequently in the maintenance of ace. Whereas, owing to the fact that the places for holding the polls of the first precinct of the Third Ward and the first precinct of the Fourth Ward had, previous to the late annual election, been selected near each other, and near the Northern market-house, which might serve as a cover for irregular assailants of the voters at these polls, apprehensions were entertained that the public ace would be disturbed in that locality on the y of election; and whereas the existing law only authorized the Mayor to appoint ten extra policemen throughout the city in cases of emer- gency 5 and whereas, in view of these facts and of disorders at previous elections, a bill was in- troduced in the Board of Common Council, on the last Monday in May just past, authorizing the Mayor to <a fifty extra policemen on the then ensuing election day; and whereas the Board of Common Council did, by a strict party yote, reject that bill; and whereas the sinall civil force was thus inadequate for the suppression of the disturbances on the day of election, and was actually overcome by violence, the poll of the first precinct of the Fourth Ward being closed for a time to the legal voters, aud citizens being beaten and shot: Therefore Br tt resolved, §¢ , That the thanks of the cor- rate authorities and people of Washington are ue, and are hereby tendered, to the President of the United States. and to the Secretaries of the Navy and of War, for the prompt manner in which they responded to the call of the Mayor for military assistance to suppress the rioting which took place in this city on the Ist day of June, 1857. Resolved, That similar thanks are due, and are tendered, to the officers, non-commissioned offi- cers, and | ahhpres of the United States Marine Corps for their alacrity in repairing to the princi- xcene of the rioting on that occasion, for their forbearance under contumely, and for their reso- lute course when it became necessary for them, under the orders of the Mayor to act—a course which, though attended with afflicting results, probably saved the lives of many citizens. Resolved, That credit’ is also awarded to the comer of artillery which, under orders from the War Department. repaired to Washington. and by their preserc@ se sted in the maintenance of e during the nigut esolved, That authenticated copies of these resolutions be tran-mitted to the President, tothe Secretaries of the Navy and of War, and to the officers and men of the Marine Corps; as well as those of the artillery herein referred to.

Tue Late Erection Riots.—Editor of The Star: It is proposed that a public meeting shall be held on Thursday evening next by the citizens of Washington, to give expression of their ap- proval of the action of the Federal and Munici- pal authorities in relation to the riot on Monday the Ist inst. The motive is doubtiess laudable, but in the judgment of many citizens such a course will be extremely injudicions at the presept time As a mere vindication of the authorities, it is not necessary ; the entire press of our city, and, with a few exceptions, that of the whole country, with- out distinction of party. has emphatically appro- ved the conduct o? the President and the Mayor An acknowledgment of thanks, and not a vindi« cation of their conduct is alone called for But even such an expression of opinion would be ill- timed on the part of the citizens of Washington, in view of the necessary action of the Criminal Court, which meets on Monday next. There will doubtless be many persons judicted for a partici- tion in this riot, and it is notorious that steps ave been taken for the purpose of charging the Mayor with a high calaal offence. Now, this officer and his friends are repared to Meet every such accusation against ps. with a haughty defiance; and not only in his behalf, but also of those who are truly guilty. they seek to avoid any expression of public opinion which can be tortured into a charge to forestall or con- trol the judgment of the legal tribunals. Let us leave itto our opponents to resort, at this ‘ullar time, to excited public meetings and inflamma- tory harangues, and when the courts of justice shall have acted, then it will be appropriate for the citizens of Washington, with ali the facts lo. gally established, to make known, in the most signal manner, their stern condemnation of the authors of this outrage. afl their high apnrecia- tion of the conduct of those who have rescued our city from violence and our country frou dishon- or. Under these circumstances it may be reason- ably expected that the proposed meeting will be postponed untll a more seasonable time, whenall may unite in the accomplishment of a common object. W.L. Any recommendation from the writer of the sbove will always receive respectful considera- tion from the citizensof Washington. Without entering upon the question of the appropriate time for holding such meeting, we cannot, how- ever, dismise the subject without saying that a large majority of our citizens are anxious for an opportunity to express, in the most public aud unmistakable manner, their endorsement of the vigorous measures by which mob law was put down on Monday week. Tue Nava Courts or Ixquiry.—Lieut. Stanley's case was concluded this morning, and his defence submitted. The Court having no new business before it, adjourned until to-mor- row morning.

Charles Roome, President of the New York Manhattan Gas-Light Company, proposes to sail this week for Europe, for the general purpose of examining personally the condition of the manufacture there, and ascertaining if any im- provements have been made which can be advan- tageously introduced here. vi From Utan Trrritory.—The St. Louis Re- publican announces the arrival in that city of sev- eral gentleman who left Salt Lake city the middle of April, in company with Judge Stiles, Mr.Wil- liams, and others. Only one United States officer is left in the Territory—an agent for the Indians, residing among them, who thinks they will pro- tect him agaiust the Mormons should they attack him. The situation of affairs in the Territory is rep- resented as very unsatisfactory. The government officers did not feel safe in the bounds of Slt Lake city, and made their escape. Their pre- sence was, indeed, no longer necessary, as their official functions had nearly ceased by reason of the acts of the Utah Territorial Legislature. That body framed laws creating new courts—a magistrate’s court, and acourt of probate in each county—and appointed Mormons to perform the duties. These courts superseded the district courts of the United States, although the laws provided for an appeal from the decision of the former. In most instances, however, the appeal never was granted; and when Judge Stiles re- monstrated with Brighain Young against this course, the governor told him to be quiet; that they knew what laws suited them better than the Congress of the United States, and that they in- tended to abide by them. When Judge Stiles be- came satisfied of the uselessness of attempting to hold his court he gave it up and returned to the States. Several persons were murdered during the win- ter by agents of the Mormons. ‘They were what are called apostates from the church, and design- ei to make their escape.

The injurious effects upon the business portion of our city resulting from the suspension of navi- gation upon the Chesapeake and Ohio canal, seems to be more seriously felt this season than ever be- fore. Every portion of the town, especially the business portion, has for several weeks given the most unmistakable evidence of some serious in- terruption to the avenues of trade. It may, how- ever, after all, result beneficially to many of our citizens, by teaching them the all important fact, that the early construction of the Metropolitan Railroad is actually indispensable tothe stability nd Dineper) oF of the trade of Georgetown. ¢ learn that the | pea for whom several of the unimproved lots on Lee’s Hill was pur- chased, intends, at an early day, to erect upon them one or more fine private residences.
