EVENING _STAR. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS The Union thinks that— * One of the chief merits of Gov. Walker's in- augural address is its entire freedom from the warping influences of simply partisan views. He addresses himself, not to Democrats or Black Re- ublicans, pro-Slavery or free-State men,although £ has a few emphatic words to say to each, but to the whole people of the whole Territory, and with a degree of earnestness and eloquence Which will command universal attention if it does not secure general conviction.” A correspondent of the Union, over the sig- nature of “H,”’ discusses the Mormon question, taking opposite ground to the views expressed in the Star's article of Wednesday last upon the same subject. F “X ¥.2Z,” in « communication to the Union upon the first passage of the United States Steamship Niagara and the blame which has been unjustly laid upon the Navy Depart- ment fur the annoying accidents which attend- ed this trip of hers, deems it “‘but fair to state, in advance of results, that the Niagara did not emanate from the Navy Department, but, on the contrary—as we have reason to beliere— was forced upon the department by irresistible outside pressure; therefore, as the department cannot take credit for any excellence this ship may display, it must be held equally above re- proach for her inefficiency. The model of the Niagara submitted by her constructor, though presenting admirable points, and t especial- ly designed for the attainment of high speed, did not meet the appoval of the constructors at Washington. and the arrangeweut of her decks and disposition of her interior was at variance with the general views of the Navy. Her spars, as well as everything else about her, were draughted by the some hand, excepting only the engines, which were built by contract. “Tn fact, all that the Navy Department has had to do with the Nixgara—namely, to appoint her crew and officers—has been well done; for her commander has most wisely considered the success of the mission in which she is now en- gaged of too great importance to the nation to be hazarded by testing to the utmost the power of her machinery or the endurance of her spars. both of which had intimated by strong symp- toms that they required nursing.”’ The Intelitgencer resumes to-day the Su- Ppreme Court opinion upon the Dred Scott case: with editorial comments thereon. ————»1+e- NOTES BY THE WAY. [Editorial Correspondence of The Star} STEAMING ON THE ROAD—PENNED BY 8TEAM. June 4—11 a. m. We havo come, I know not how far (since I closed my last) over the same flat, through which, since then, we have coursed our.way for two hours more, without seeing more than one house of more than a single story ; the rest, eab- ins all, apparently occupied hy settlers of the poorest class. The region is heavily timbered, though where in cultivation the wheat upon it shows that the soil belies its poor appearance. All things about it look as though its inhabit- ants are but getting ready to live. Their cat- tle, however, tell a tule of ambition and thrifti- ness that must in the end make theirs a most Prosperous country. Their oxen are Devons, and their steers and eows almost universally grade Durhams, well cared for, and therefore handsomely repaying their owners The Ohio and Mississippi Railroad Company over whore work we are now flying, at the rate of twenty miles per hour, have provided for this train at least, (if not for those following it, for which I cannot speak.) a luncheon car. from whence cold chicken, ham, beef. tongue. &c., with bread and untold quantities of still and sparkling wine and segars are passed through the ears. to the great satisfaction of the guests— some of whom, on the cars in which I am serib- bling. are getting so noisy as to incline me somewhat to moderate the encomiums in my Jast upon the prospective happy influence of the pure and generous ‘natives.’ But the reader will please except the rail car use of it from my praises. as folk3 are too thickly stowed when * streaking behind the locomotive to admit of the indiscriminate use of every thing vinous without interfering more or les? with the com- fort of all We have been traveling since mounting this train in a rain go cold and driving as to make closing nearly all the windows necessary, though this is June 4th. At noon we struck a much more inviting Tange of territory than that last above referred to; of better soil, and somewhat more broken. as well as more generally improved. All along the line of this road, however. everything is new, newer, newest. Aprepos—an intelligent Indianian at my elbow accounts fur the change in the soil, men- tioned a few lines above, by the fact that up to the sudden change in the appearance of things I mention since entering the State. we had been coursing across the range of its water courses. while we are now skirting an edge of one of their valleys. The lands thus traversed by this grand railroad were not taken up until its pro- jection. That is, except in the valleys. They Were too far from market, and not of sufficient value under such circumstances to be sought by settlers or speculators. Now. however, they readily command in second hands from $5 to $15 per acre, according to proximity to the con- structed railroad and its depots. All along the line, raining hard though it ‘Was, our progress was greeted by the assembled inhabitants. Every cabin turned out all its men, women and children to shout and wave over us. Sach lots of cottou-headed young “‘uns’’ a we saw were sufficient to create the impression that ere twenty-one years roll round the State’s vote will have increased fivefold without the aid or addition of asingle emigrant On arriving at the ancient town of Vincennes, on the Wabash, we were received by its entire Population, it seemed to us, and the firing of can- non, and with what was even more gratifying, I confess, @ magnificent collation, flanked by a bottle of uative wine to each two plates. Though get for the two thousand persons, who were on all the trains of the occasion, it would have puz- sled Gautier and Potentinj together to have provided a more tasteful and capitally prepared feast. Having discussed it, and listened to two or three very brief (tickle me and I'll tickle Jou) speeches, we were off again, entering Illi- nois (just across the Wabash) in five minutes after the engine driver blew the well known signal—breake up' We were now for the first time (on the trip) on the broad prairies, the Black soil of which, under the improved hus- bandry of the decade is doing a2 much for the | general prosperity of all interests in our ex- tended land, as the gold of California. We coursed along for one hundred miles over prairie surface, which, for the most part, knew no plow until three or four years since, having been almost entirely settled in that time. Though as rich as any other in the world, its Position with reference to markets taboved it. Everything about it at this time, however, exhibited thrift, energy, enterprise and rap- idly-rushing-nhead improvement. If this be “Egypt,’’ as I am told it is, its spirit (indus- trial) is surely that of the Egypt of the times when, as the Pyramids explain, there was more “go abead”’ in the land of the Pharoahs than in all the world beside. Our last fifty miles to St. Louis was performed by moonlight, over Prairie of course. Its proximity to navigttion Pecured its much earlier settlement, and it is now, as the light of the moon disclosed plainly, as well built and furnished with all the com- forts of a highly progressed agricultural region as any other in the Union. How abolitionism could have ventured to attempt to account for its defeat last fall im Tllinois-by a sneer at the darkness of Egypt, is past me to divine. It was midnight when the excursion trains rolled—one after another in close proximity— into the depot opposite St. Louis. There we were welcomed by thousands, amid the blaze of @ thousand torches, and with a speech from the Mayor. Three large steamers—the Balti- more, Illinois and Die Vernon—were moored at the depot landing, and oneach of these we went in three divisions, to discuss a capital supper and then turn in in the staterooms, one foreach two of their guests, having been provided by the liberality of St. Louis. Here I must say that the arrangements for our comfort and en- joyment made by the Ohio and Mississippi R ail- road Company were not even second to those of Chillicothe, from beginning to end. A large delegation of railrond men wero with us, all of whom agree that in all things this particular road is a model. Think of transporting two thousand souls over their long route —342 miles—under such circumstances without a minute’s delay not marked down in advance on the time tables. W. D. W—-u. ~ ~—-+e0e-+-—— -- WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP Baxtisore.—With all the kind feelings of neighbors, and recognising the common bond that unites good citizens every where in the support of the supremacy of law as the :egis that protects our dearest rights and guards the honor of our country, we say most respectfully to you, the citizens of Baltimore, that you are rapidly approaching a crisis in yotr social and commercial affairs that is to operate powerfully for weal or woe. In your midst you have a lawless and most dangerous class of society, who have for years been the disturbers of your peace, violators of your laws, and derers unwhipped of justi They have defied all your city authorities; they have usurped most of your important functions; they have con- trolled your elections with all the violence of mobocracy; they have stained your streets with innocent blood; they have poisoned the fountains of social life; they have repudiated all the moral clements tiat give a healthful tone to soci they ore virtually your gover- nors, and they have given you a name far and wide that is shaking the deep foundations of your prosperity and honor. Submission to this will be your ruin. What is there within your limits, as hereto- fore, to invite and promoie active commerce ? What is there to bring you in successful com- petition with other great marts of the country where good order and good government invite with their ample protection? What capitalist would seek for investment in your beautiful city, with the incubus that is upon it? What temptations have you to hold permanently the population you have now, and to forego the proffered hands from so many thrifty and peace- ful emporiums? Where are the sojourners that once crowded your streets and hotels, and shared your generous hospitality’ They are finding other highways that lead to new acquaintance. This is no visionary picture—it is a sorrowful reality, that candor will not gainsay. It is su- perinduced by some powerful adequate cause, that is growing with impunity. You have the power to correct it, and you have the means commensurate to the task, if you have the moral strength to execute it. It is to be lamented that the entire influence of this evil, that has its hot-bed in your city, iz not confined to your own limits. Oar metropo- lis has been seourged by the invasion of the or- ganized bands of ruffians from the polluted sinks of your city. Their pestilent presence has left cases of contagion within our borders, that we hope are curable. The success that has marked the course of this band of ruffians who had their origin and live in your midst, has en- couraged the clements of insubordination and ruthlessness in other cities. Louisville and New Orleans looked to your example, and have followed it with desperate rivalry. You have companionship in your tribulation, if it can give yeu any consolation. Our consolation is that we have recently arrested, if not extirpa- ted the disease, by an effective quarantine, and other sanilary measures. e Tur Prorosen Meeting. —Below we give a eard frum Mayor Magrnder, issued in view of the call for a public meeting at the City Hall to-morrow afternoon ; also, in the same connec- tion, a communication which we find in the National Intelligencer of this morning, and which we apprehend gives the views of the call- ers of the meeting as to the propriety of holding such meeting at this time. Mayor's Orricg, Wasnineton, Jt 1857. i Intelti- mecting Hl, on Thursday at five o'clock, | deem it my duty re- but earnestly, to request my friends ther good citi $ to abstain from bold- ing or attending a hmecting forthe present, believing as I de it can do no good, and may result in a disturbance of the public peace. - B. Macucver, Mayor. WwW NS MFerinc.—Mvessrs. Editors: A o signs himself *W. L.,°? in this morning’s Intelligencer, on the subject of the called Ineeting for Thursday evening next by citizens who disapprove of the conduct of {m- ported hirelings to prevent the free exercise of the elective franchise in this city, bas put forth extraordinary arguments, totally untenable and without the shadow of good Teason, why such meeting is not only proper, but demanded@y the exigencies of the occasion. That the m icipal authorities and the Executive are sus ed by the press here and elsewhere ix the best evidence that those who are immediately interested in the perpetration of this great wrong and vital assault upon their sacred rights should meet in town meeting and express in thunder tones their dee; abhorrence of such gross public outrage. rele asain, when we have witnessed the rompt action of our venerated President in complying with the Tequest of the Mayor of the city, at all hazard, vouchsafed our individual rights and declared the supremacy of the law paramount to mob rule, why should a greteful people be discouraged from exp essing a calm and deliberate commendation ? This subject has received the attention of the Board of Common Council, who at the threshold of their first meeting have performed an imperi- ous duty by giving expression in favor of the her cond President of the United States, the - and the Marine Corps. Yet this mez movement is not performed without oppos ve Know Nothiugs voted against the passage of the resolutions! Does this ford argu favor of the called meet- Therete feilow-citizens of the Federal city, let the meeting be fully attended ; permit no sophistry to keep you at home; meet early, listen attentively, aud express your sentiment in language not to be misunderstood now or hereat- ter. It was through the untrammelled ballot- box that brought President Buchanan into the Executive Chair, and the sacredness ofthat inherited privilege has been proclaimed in him pt acts worthy of our approval. Already we hear fom the North, the South, the East and the West the exclamation of a grateful constituency, “well done thou good and faithful servant,’ you have Promptly, energetically and resolutely performed | Your whole duty, and given proof that, in the } Performance of a Ligh constitutional duty, you ssess the --riug of the true metal.”? “June 7, 1857. “D.M.B.? In accordance with the views expressed above the meeting will, we hear, be held without fail, at the hour advertised on to-morrow afternoon, It is proposed to assemble solely to return the thanks of the meeting to the authorities, na- tional and municipal, and to the military, for their promptness in crushing a desperate gang of rioters, and restoring order and quiet in the various wards of the city. While we deeply regret that there should be any difference of opinion amongst the friends of law and order, we cannot see that any legit- mate objection can be urged t» the holding of such a meeting, and now that it has been fully decided upon, we trust that the attendance upon it will be sufficiently large to give emphasis to its expression of opinion.

Horace Veryet anv His Battin Pisce ror Tuk Cariro:.—If we are to credit a statement in the Providence Journal, a paper usually weil posted in foreign art-goseip, there is some misapprehension in regard to the supposed en- gagement of Horace Vernet to paint a historical batule piece for the National Capitol A correspondent in Paria writes to the Joxr- nal that he met Vernet and congratulated him on the compliment from the new world to his genius, but that the painter replied that he knew nothing of the fact.
