(Editorial Correspondence of The Star.) STEAMING ON THE ROAD—PENNED BY STEAM. June 8, 1857. We passed Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti, and other considerable villages of Michigan by the way, ere reaching the wharf at Detroit. no improvement in the soil of the State visible during the balance of my journey across it. It wore in all respects the aspect of a worn out country, full of sand ridges and gladey low grounds, pools, lakes and sluggish water courses. Thad formed a high opinion of Michigan farm- ing from the contents of some of the Northern agricultural journals, and was not a little sur- prised on finding myself obliged to conclude that more slovenly agriculture than most of that I saw along the Michigan Central Railroad I never beheld. Even on the ridges, pools of ‘water stand in most of the wheat fields for want of drainage. Furrow draining seems to be un- known here; though it would have saved many 2 field of wheat in Michigan that this year will hardly return the husbandman his seed. Not one farmer in ten here seems to comprehend the value of shade treesaround his homestead, tothe health and comfort of his family. Though building in the native forest, they fell every thing around them, as though fearful that their magnificent oaks, elms, and maples may fall and bury their huts. At 3 p. m. we wheeled around the river's shore in front of Detroit, the great city of the State. In all respects it was like the engra- ‘Vings of it for sale in all the print shops, except that its dimensions have inereased of late years.

Much of the route of this best constructed and best managed railroad I have travelled over thus far since leaving the Baltimore and Ohio cars, is through a flat swampy country, the region of the runaways, who are for the Imost -part its only cultivators apparently.

W—u. ————s0e-+ WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. Tur Heatep Teru.—The broiling sun is fairly upon us in Washington, though winter so recently took its departure as that the mem- ory of particular shivering days is still fresh in the minds of all. As yet,fresh breezes have protected us from suffering from the intensity of the sun’s rays. Ere the next month is half gone, however, we shall all—in this region—be thankful for a breath of air to cool our parched skins. Thousands of our readers in the towns and cities will fly away by steam to escape such localities for the time being. Our advice to those who propose to take families on such jaunts is, go either to farm houses on the sea shore—if you seek sea breezes and salt-water bathing—or else to the villages near the base of the Blue Ridge, in Virginia, if you desire mountain air, exquisite country living, medic- inal waters and really delightful associations. We have before taken occasion to explain that, at the village of Culpeper Court House— containing perhaps 1,200 inhabitants—within three and a half hours only, by rail, of Washington city, a family can sojourn far more bountifully and comfortably, and enjoy every real advantage obtainable at any interior wa- tering place in the Union, for less than half the cost of remaining at any such establishment as long. If, however, the reader be bent on jaunting to “a watering place,’’ Old Point Comfort and the establishment at Hampton, in its immediate vicinity, are the places, in case his taste leads him towards the sea shore. The fishing, fowl- ing, bathing, and the breezes where the Atlan- tic dashes into the mouth of the Chesapeake, (there,) are unequalled in America. Neither Cape May nor Long Braach are to be compared to them ; and were they as accessible from the large cities of the North, not a visitor would Cape May and Long Branch have, until after they were filled to overflowing. At every other sea-coast establishment fashionably patronised, the visitor is at the mercy of the money of those who pay liberally for the privilege of forestall- ing, if not insulting, everybody else—of parve- nues, who seek to create a sensation by annoy- ing those by whom they are surrounded—a class who never fail to rush in troops to the watering places every summer. At Old Point and Hampton, however, the tone of the mass of the company they find there restrains them so that they at once comprehend that, to hold any position whatever, they must conduct them- selves like real ladies and gentlemen. To those who would seek interior watering places, our advice is, go to the Capon—the Mountain House—or to the Fauquier White Sulphur, than which no others are so well con- ducted, take them all in all. Science and ex- perience have demonstrated the remarkable health-giving properties of their waters, which are excelled by no others. One finds there respectable visitors almost entirely; refined, highly cultivated, and scrupulously careful to observe all the amenities of polite society—no rushing at table, and little dressing on the part of the ladies, as though they have the run of the jewelry spouted in a New York pawnbro- ker’sshop. Noris the chevalier d’industrie the guest of all guests there most lionized, be- cause his money flows out as easily as it comes Tue Spoi.s.—Never did men of science more closely devote themselves to the duty of analy- sis, than do the seekers after the fat things in the Administration’s gift to that of ferreting out all the facts supposed to bear in favor of the doctrine of removals. They have turned the Blue Book inside out, devoured its every figure, placed the latter in all conceivable com- binations likely to sustain their position that it is the Executive's duty to create a great many vacancies as svon as possible. We have seen a great many tables, the result of their investi- gations in their labor of love (of the loaves and fishes.) Some of them are evidently mere garblings to suit their ends in view, while others embrace solid and reliable information. Of the latter kind is the table that will be found be- low: Statement showing the amount of Federal pa- tronage received by the North and South, Free or Slare States. States Nortn Massachusetts .

There was a greater increase in the quantity of land sown to wheat throughout East Tennessee than ever before. That sown on the high land (mountains, &c ) has been greatly winter killed. The prospect for corn in that region is very flattering. The ravages of the chinch bug, cut worm, and fly are creating much alarm among the Virginia tobacco growers, our friend informs us. ResiGxep.—Itis currently rumored that ex- Gov. Anderson, of Maine, has tendered to the President his resignation of the position of Col- lector of Customs, held by him for the last four years, wherein he has so discharged his respon- sible duties as to earn for himself enviable fame as an executive officer. After due inquiry, we have no reason to doubt the truth of this rumor. Tug OverLaxD Mai to Catirorxia —The multitude of important questions to be disposed ot in determining the route over which the everland mail to California, ordered by Con- ress at its last session to be established, shall be transported, has, evidently, delayed its selec- tion. Upon that will also depend, we appre- hend, the solution of the question who is to have the contract fur the service, for many of the bids, as published, are confined to special routes named inthem. We are glad to find the Post- master General proceeding in this very im- portant matter with great deliberation and caution ; for no other subject has so far come be‘ore him for adjudication involving more m > mentous considerations.

It would seem that the Indians slipped down between these two col- umus, and commenced murdering and robbing in the rear. The Cheyennes are among the bold- est and most warlike Indians on the western prairies, and, if once fairly aroused, will be ditti- eult to subdue. ‘They number about one hundred warriors, and will doubiless be joined by many young Sioux braves, with whom they are closely connected. The attack on the train was a vei vigorons one. The party with the train consiste often men, eight women and ten children; of whom three men—S. D. Weaver, M, Lewis and Sam. Smith—and a woman were killed, and sev- eral others wounded. The United states troops were in hot pursuit of the Indians at the last ac- counts. ——______. AN IxFamovs Dreep.—An old hag, by the name of ‘Mother Dolsen,’? was convicted in the circuit court at Detroit, on Monday, cf keeping @ house for prostitution. The Free Press in n icing the trial, gives publicity to a circumstance connected with this petticoated devil, which, through a le- gal technicality, was not allowed as evidence. It is as follows : A young girl, of the age of nineteen, a very pretty and interesting person, came to this city some three or four months ago from the country, and applied at McCiatchey’s intelligence office, on Jefferson avenue, for # situation. She was given to understand that she could have one the following day, and accoidingly called, when she ‘was taken cha of by a gentleman who was waiting, who pl her in a carriage and or- dered the driver to drive on. He explained to her that he was taking her to a very nice place, where she would have nothing to do but wait on an old lady, and get two dollars a week for it. She was much pleased at the prospect, expressing her satisfaction. The carriage drew up infront of ‘‘ Mother Dolsen’s,” and she was taken in, of course, entirely ignorant of the character of the hous? she was entering ; and, after a bargain in regard to her duties and wages, was given a very nice supper and put to bed. Her statement is that she locked her door and fell asleep, but was awakened at about 11 o'clock yy Mrs, nm, whom she admitted to her room. he old woman was very anxious concerning het health, and lest she should suffer from the ts of the ride in the cold air, prevailed on her to drink something that she brought in, which she called bot sling.

Some of the priacipal consumers of the sweet article in that city contemplate discontinu- ing its use until the price is reduced to a some- what reasonable rate. 7 Not long since, George Buck, of Reading, Vt., accidentaily buried a ine hen with hay, “ a hay mow. In just thirty-one days from that time the hay was removed and the hen found alive, but too weak to stand. She was carefully nursed and was well in a day or two. When buried she weighed nine lbs., and when found weighed three Ibs. i> An English r contains the followin; ine theatrical Rea $ While Mr. and Mrs. Howard Paul were giving their entertainment, ‘* Patchwork,”’ at Darling- ton, the other night, the gas went out and cout. not fii With the — ha ntngen | ence the formance proceeded at > am the ae yey amused at the novelty of the occur- rence, applanded every thing that was said or sung in the most vociferous manner. “Twists or Cottox.’”’—The Frenchman who said that the friendship between the United States and England was ‘not a chain of flowers, but simple twists of cotton,’? was not far from the maik. Out of 900,000,000 of pounds of cotton im- = into Great Britain last year, no less than 700,000,000 pounds were from the United States. A rise of one penny in the pound of the price of cotton involves a national loss to Eng! of $20,000,009 to $30,000,000. The dependence of England on the United States for the supply has increased from 45 per cent. of their consumption of cotton in 1501 to 80 per cent. at the present time. ‘ Twists of cotton’? which bind such extensive interests as these, make a chain of iron which cannot be easily broken. an trict, wu —— enone 25 a. ens such will are a TTL me ress, ‘ ms) DANIEL MAJOR, lot 6 street and 2st, “Poses, Bion reqnired immed ite HIRT MAKERS AND TAILORESSES (good Seeckans twpated tnumadisteaye te oboe cont es oa 2 Gres, at the Washington Sewing Onn hy ai ‘Shurts, linen bosoms and wristbands, at $1.25.
