[ Faitorial Correspondence of The Star}. STEAMING ON THE ROAD—PENNED BY STEAM. [No. 15.] June 6, 1857. The ride to the Fair Grounds was very tedious. for we were two hours in making the five miles through the streets and over the road we were carried. The omnibus on which I was perched bore thirty-six inside and on the top. So the reader will comprehend how we must have suf- fered, the sun’s rays being quite oppressive. The covp d’ai/ in the Fair Grounds was un- equalled by aught in the way of a popular dis- play I had previously witnessed anywhere. There were at least ten thousand persons of both sexes and all ages on the ground; the wealth, taste. fashion and enterprise of the city being represented toa much greater extent than on such occasions among populations east of the Alleganies. Perhaps seven thousand persons congregated within the vast Ampitheatre. (to hold ten thousand.) built strictly after the model of those of Rome, in timgs past. with succes- sively raised tiers of seats surrounding perhaps two acres of ground, and with a highly orna- mented judges’ stand in the centre, around which jets d’eawx sent up their refreshing show- ers in spiral columns. Ample roofing protected all on the seats from the glare of the sun, and before the legitimate ceremonies of the day commenced there came off a review of the six or eight handsomely uniformed volunteer compa- nies and the fire companies that had formed por- tions of the procession. This occupied an hour. The Mayor of St. Louis next introduced the Hon. Edward Bates (ex-United States Senator fromp Missouri.) to the assembled multitude. which listened most attentively for two hours to his address of weleome and explanation. He is intellectually 2 very great man, and there- fore handles his themes with rare eloquence and ability. Though finding myself unable to coincide in some of the conclusions to which his reasoning tended, I enjoyed his effort beyond measure. and would advise all who desire at once to achieve a mental realization of St. Louis and the immense valley of which it (the city) is the capital, as they were, are. and are Yet to be, by all means to read it. Though born in Richmond, Va., his half century of more im- mediate contact with the trading men of New England has changed his very nature; so that he is but the representative of their views and sentiments. Replete as his address was with deep thought and extensive and interesting in- formation, it was so imbued with a tone of Northern sectionalism as to be distasteful to me. He is evidently a centralizationist in all things. and while knowing almost everything about St. Louis worth knowing, is so under the influence of his prejudices as to be unable to comprehend that tiere can possibly exist in Missouri other rights and interests than those of the objects of bis own affection. At the termination of the address, an ample dinner was discussed by at least two thousand of those present. served on tables under the roofing and above the tier of seats; the tables being also ranged in tiezs, and thus adding greatly to the effect of the bird's-eye view «f the magnificent scene before us. It was every thing the hungriest as well as the most fasti- dious could wish, while the only beverages ac- corded were water and an amplesupply of native Catawba (of the vicinage.) which was quite as palatable as that set before us at Vincennes. As a matter of course the dinner was followed “im the usaal way’’—by glorification speeches, such as are indispensible to all such occasions. By 6 p. m., all had returned to the eity, where we separated ; the grand excursion being over except so far as the privilege which all in- vited to participate enjoyed. of making the journey home over any of the northern and western railroads free of ccat: of which, all cf course, availed themselves, eo as to see ag much of the country as possible The maguificence of the seale on which St Louis got up this unequalled festival, and the Completeness of ell its arrangements, cannot be described 0 as to enable the reader to compre- hend them as they should be appreciated. Only those who were fortunate enough to be eye wit- nesses of the brilliancy of the scene and parti- @ipators in the liberality of the occasion can realize them. Those who were the city’s guests, however, can never forget them. Whi the liberality, display and substantial manifes- tation of interest in the affair, of St. Louis, were as I deseribe them, those of Cincinnati appeared altogether in the columns of her daily press; which. in its “ blowing” over what was seen, said and done there on Wednesday night and Thursday last, might lead the distant unini- tiated to fancy that she took a substantiai part 23 acityin it. That, all the strangers along understand well. was not the case. Whenever shoe goes upon another such “ bust,”’ she should by all means take lessons from Chillicothe ere dreaming of rivaling St. Louisin such matters St. Louis is. in all respects, one of the best built cities of the country: though in its busi- ness portion a very dirty one. This evidently arises from the fact that her manufacturing es- tablishments have outgrown her own caleula- tions. being, at this moment, perhaps, five times as extensive as the most sanguine among her citizens ten years ago conceived possible in this period of time In behalf of those who came all the way from the far East. I must thank Captain Rawlings of the Baltimore and Obio Railroad, and his ef- ficient corps of assistants, to whose attentions throughout the trip all were indebted for an €ntire avoidance of the usual annoyances and troubles of riding 1,000 wiles by rail. Not an article of baggage was lost by any one between the Relay House and St Louis, nor was a sin- gle pocket picked on the cars. This morning the trains in all directions were loaded to their utmost capacity with departing | thousands, and I make one of the exodus via Chicago, leaving behind me the young friend from the Union office, whe had been especially ay traveling companion. His indisposition on the trip has probably interfered greatly to pre- vent him from enlightening the Union's read ers, regularly, by the way. The view of St. Louis and its shipping, from nest I have yet seen; affording. at a single glance, a good idea of the city’s ex- tent and the vastness of her growing trade. Ww. D. W—s. ——__——__-.-e-—___—__—_- WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. Departen.—General Wm. Walker, of Nica- raguan fame, left Washington yesterday after- noon, for New York, apparently as quietly as he entered our city on Friday forenoon last. If he was accompanied to the depot by others that the friends traveling with him, he was es- corted thither so quietly and unobtrusively, as that none but themselves were aware of his presence there. No better evidence of the sound conservativism of this community is necessary than the manner in which it so unanimously refrained from giving the slightest aid and com- fort to the principle of fillibusterism, such as would have been involved in stepping forward to shower compliments of any sort upon him. We have every reason to believe that his recer- tion by the Federal authorities here was not a whit more enthusiastic or sympathetic. Ac- cording to the New York press, his entrance into that city is to be celebrated by a sort of “ three-tailors-of-Tooley-street’’ explosion of the popular sentiment there in admiration of his career in Central America. We apprehend, however, that with tho news of the result of the Crabbe expedition to Sonora ringing in their ears, and with the sight of Gen Waiker—accompanied by the dozen individuals only who have so fur escaped with him alive from Nicaragua, out of the six or seven thousand who went there to his assistance—will, together, prove sufficient to render it certain that further efforts to obtain either money from the New York capitalists or men from among the wn- employed of that city to further another such raid upon a nation with which we are at peace, under his auspices at least, must prove abor- tive. Capitalists do not often throw their money away with their eyes open ; nor do men, even when desperately hungering fur a crust of bread, seek such a life as all now know from published letters from Nicaragua, was the lot of perhaps ninety in every hundred sent out to his assistance, with death at the end on ‘it as their only possible means of release from the trap into which they had unwittingly entered. Tue Better Soctety.—A friend at our elbow mentioned a moment since that seven murders were committed in New York city in the course of the week ending on Saturday last Heaven knows how many unsuccessful attempts at as- sassination took place there in that time. * Yet the New York Tribune, and all the journals #ympathizing with it, can find no more popular theme than lecturing the South upon its blood- thirstiness, as well as its Gud-forsaken practices in all things. While we have no disposition to oceupy the Srar’s columns with statements and arguments to disprove the buggaboo fubrica- tions of facts in some cases and of circumstances bearing on these facts in others, on which such newspapers rely in their work of inducing the pious old ladies at the North to continue to roll up their eyes in horror at the state of Southern society, we are tempted now and then to hold up to them the mirror in which the little pecu- liarities of their “better society” are reflected so faithfully. To that end we quote this after- noon the New York Tribune itself, upon the actual condition of men and things—of society —in the Empire City, as follows : “Since the first of April.’* (we are told) ‘there have been at least twice sixteen attempts at mur- der, besides violent assaults and rum-hole fights without precedent. Ten thousand hardened and hopeless female outcasts swarm the streets at night; two thousand children, under the guise of peddlers, from the age of ten to sixteen, penetiate every public building. store and oftice in the city, to beg, steal, spy for burglars, and on their own account practice those vices which cannot be named in respectable language; tive thousand great and smail gamblers prey upon the eredu- fous and the infatuated, standing all day at the doors of their dens in Broadway, as well known in person and profession as the Mayor himself; ten thousand lazy, drunken, thie # short- Joys, swill-boys, killers, roughs, aud rowdies of other names, lounge on the rum-cursed corners of the streets. making day disgusting, hideous, and travel dangerous to all who ca: suspeeted of having respectability or money; thousands of emigrant swindle m auctionvers, lottery dealers, policy-back kpockets, lall thieves burglars, wharf-rats, sneaks, pimps an: vampyres, practice their knaveries as openty, and With as little fear of punishment, as though y Were engaged in the most virtuous and legitimate of human pursuits,”? A charming picture, truly, of their “ better society’’ than that of the South. Tur Post Orrice Devartuest.—Noew Post Offices Established —Woodstock Valley, Wind- ham county, Conn., Thomas P.

Viz: Thos. Snowden ($1,400 per annum) resigned. T. Allen, W. M. Fitzhugh, J. W. Irwin, and N. B. Smith, all $1,400 per annum clerks, pro- moted to $1.600 per annum. Wm. Hall, B. F. Slocum, T. T.

Kimberly, J. 3. Williams, George H. Gurley and J. B. Dun- glison, $1,200 per annum clerks, removed. Tux Fepera Orrices or tur District oF CoLuapia.—As there exists in this community, very naturally, a deep interest in the question of the proposed change of incumbents of these Positions, we may not refrain from saying, in reply to numerous inquiries upon the subject, that among those whom we rogard as possessin the best op; ini the conelu- sions to which the Executive has arrived with reference to them, it is now understood that no removals are to be made. That is, that no changes are to take place during the existence of the commissions of the present incumbents. As this is a matter in which we have taken no part, personally, we know nothing whatever relative to it of our own knowledge. Yet we Place confidence in the statements and opinions of those from whom we gather the impression explained above. Comuaxpur Davis’s Ixstavettoxs.—The telegraphers from this city to the distant press are entirely in error in their representations with reference to the instructions from the late Secretary of the Navy to Commodore Mervine, and through him to Commander Davis, under which, they allege, the latter acted in saving Gen. Walker and the few of his followers who got off with him, from the tender mercies of the Costa Ricans. No instructions whatever were given to Com- modore Mervine by Secretary Dobbin that will bear twisting into an intimation that a vessel of the squadron might be employed in interfering inthe Nicaraguan war, even if an opportunity occurred to save the lives of the filibusters, by getting them clear of the country. He was simply ordered to send a vessel to San Juan del Sur, and in that order no mention of Walker's name or of his affairs was made. Thas, not only the story alluded to above falls to the ground, but the story that the President has declared “his approval of the act of Com- mander D. under hie instructions, but not of those instructions of Secretary Dobbin,”’ falls with it, as a matter of course. Tue Navat Courts or Ixquiny.—To-day, the Government’s witnesses in the case of Ex- Lieut. Reed, on trial before Court No. 1, not being present, the case was temporarily post- poned, and that of Master Brady (retired on leaye-of-ubsence pay) was taken up, and dis- posed of wholly on record testimony. In Court No. 2, the case of Lt. Alexander Gib- son was closed yesterday, and that of Lt. Rob- ert Handy (retired on turlough pay) was taken up and Captain Ballus, Commodore Wilkinson, Captain William Inman, Commodore Newton, Captain Page, Captain Tatnall, Captain Van Brunt, Captain Pope, and Surgeon Delaney, all of the Navy, were called by his counsel and have been examined this morning.
