EVENING STAR. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Union publishes the recent speeches of Senators Douglas and Mason, delivered at Springfield, Ill., and Boston, Mass., which, to gether, embrace “ reading matter’’ that renders this number of the Union a paperof such value as one rarely sees in these times. The Intelligencer to-day calls “ spirits from the vasty deep,”’—urges a reorganization of the Whig party. The editor holds that the plat- forms of the American and Republican parties are both too narrow for the Whigs to stand on, while the principles of the Democratic party are such that no one sincerely attached to those of Clay and Webster can consistently subscribe to them. NOTES BY THE WAY. [ Editorial Correspondence of The Star.) STEAMING ON THE ROAD—PENNED BY STEAM. [No. 23.] June 9, 1857. FFgni Ningara—Jonrneying South. In too light a coat and « thin pair of breeches (for I thoughtiessly chesket my baggage | through to Albany, last night.) I Was of at 6} | a. m., to walk over the other great wortter of | the vieinage, almost as far surpassing any other work of art, as that described above, every other | of nature. The Suspension Bridge is, to be * brief, a railroad track carried over the madly rushing and unfathomable waters of Niagara at a point about twomiles below the cataract, and, of course, without support other than its moor- ings to the bold faced rock-cliffs through which the river has been so many centuries gradualty wearing down its channel until its surface level is about 260 feet below. On the cliffs, on each side, are erected a pair of towers; on the Amer- ican side 98, and on the Canada side 88 feet high, ten feet being the difference in the level of the rock oneither side. Passing over and firmly secured to and supported by these towers are immense ropes of wire, which seem to spring out of the rocks a few hundred feet behind | each (tower.) Upon the graceful arch made by their weight hangs suspended a single-track railroad, secured (to these pendant arches of wire) by a net-work of smaller iron so arranged as to achieve the greatest possible strength and inflexibility, lateral and perpendicular, with the least possible weight of metal. Still nearer the waters’ surface hangs suspended from the | rail track an ordinary road-way for vehicles | and foot passengers. As an engineering feat, this bridge is most interesting ; its graceful and airy proportions being its chief attraction in so stringent a point as to make them (their serfs) rampant in their demonstrations to- wards any slavery they dare protest and act against; as, to call their souls their own, would bs to give offence to those from whose ete their meagre subsistence is doled out t@ them. They yent their own griefs upom negro slavery in the South, and are encouraged to do-so by their employers, who regard the runping of their indignation in that channel as@ sort of safety valve for the conservation of their own profits. Syracuse was the scene of “ the Jerry reseuc’”’ The district is now represented in Congress hy that shining light, Gen. Granger— fit (precis¢ty M, id the’extent of his attainments and depth of Miz intelligence,) representative for such a constitwey.- Our course was fof’ the mtost part in sight of the Erie canal, on whic’ the’ season’s business does not yet appear to iitve fairly started. This is said to be owing to a break very recent- ly repaired. So, those interestet in Ms naviga- tion of the Chesapeake and Ohio canafiare not alone in misery this season growing out of breaches, carrying away of dams, &c. Tlie Erie canal, notwithstanding the immeme freights carried cast and west by the New York through-railroads, is the life and soul of the commerce of the whole State with the in- terior country. The loss of a month of the freighting season upon it is therefore a real calamity te the State’s business interests. At this period ef other years I have noticed boats in motion on this canal from its end to end— from Troy to’ Buffalo—so close as nowhere to appear more thai one hundred yards apart, with hundreds laden byt resting at the towns on the way. W.D. W—n. — +9008 WASHL ‘ GTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. Ovr City’s Suaur.—Last night, French S. Evans introduced in the Board of Aldermen a series of resolutions, which, take them all in all, are the most disgraceful things so far polluting the proceedings of an American corporate body. We publish them that our American party fel- low-citizens who respect themselves may sec the intensity of the Plug-Uglyism of him who | sought to disgrace them in the estimation of all right minded persons, by making such false statements in theirname. As infamous as they are in letter and spirit, and as full of untruths as they are, we are by no means surprised that such things come from precisely such a quarter. He, who while professing to teach the Gospel of Christ, will roll it in the gutter along with the Plug Ugiyism, which (judging from the same resolutions and his notorious devotion to the lowest political tastes) enjoys much the larger share of his affections, may not be expected to the eyes of most beholders. In truth. it struck | fail to manifest his sympathy with it upon so me as a dream of a pathway created by Genii, for fairies’ use, over the yawning chasm below. A German engineer named Robbling, con- structed the present bridge on the basis and with the help of a similar bridge (in point of scientific principles resorted to) for vehicles and foot passengers, previously constructed by Mr. favorable an opportunity as that giving birth to this display of bis real principles in their true colors, to the shame and mortification of those who may be even remotely responsible for his course in the Board. These cimanations | of his peculiar affiliations should not be charged upon the American party of Washington, we | Chas. Ellett, the so distinguished American en- gineer. How to make his first connection be- tween the cliffs was the original difficulty solved. He (Mr. Ellet) “flew” a kite over the ri a light but very strong string; suddenly giving the kite entire play, it fell to the ground at a point so far back of the cliff’s face, on the lee- | ward side, as that the assistants standing ready to that end had time to secure the string ere its weight. overhanging the chasm, drew it back, into the foaming depths below. Once thus se- cured, it was an easy matter to draw over at- tached to the string, stronger cords, one afer the other, until ropes, and ther wires of in- creasing weight and strength were lashed in this manner from cliff to cliff, sufficient to sus- tain the vast work I bave been describing The trains running over it travel at a snail’s pace, and cause no perceptible vibration of the vast work ; nor are they heard upon it, owing to the din of the roar of the ever-pouring cataract two miles above. To continue my journey homeward J took the cars of the New York Central Railroad at the American village of Niagara, situated at the south end of the bridge. and at once com- menced to travel across one of the finest agri- cultural regions in our vast country. Here every thing appertaining to farming is conducted more generally with skill, neatness and thrift, than in any other section that I have traversed. The soil is certainly equal in fertility to any in Mi - souri or Illinois, while the location combines more substantial advantages than that of any other farming territory so far from the centre of American cowmerce—New York city. It—“the Genesee country’’—hegins on the line of this railroad where it crosses the Tonawonda creek. and continues to Rochester, the easternmost point of western New York. It is the laud of (nominally) an average of thirty bushels of wheat tothe acre. I am no believer in such crops in this country ; never yet havingseen a single crop that turned out so large, though often hear- ingof them. However, nature having lavished blessings (agricultural) on the magnificent val- ley. man has availed himself more thoroughly of them than I ever before saw done. As a general axiom, where nature has done most for man. he seems to feel upon him the slightest obligation to help himself. Such is human na- ture, the world over, except here. From Niagara to where I am now writing—a few miles west of Utica—we have passed vil- lages, towns and cities so rapidly as that the whole vicinity of this road is made, to the trav- eler, to appear to be through a continuous stream or line of houses. as it were. At Lockport we struck the Erie Canal, which must say in justice to them ; for all their repre- sentatives in the Board who are known as men possessing brains sufficient to enable them to discriminate between right and wrong, joined | their opponents in summarily voting them | down, with but three votes in their favor. | What but a spirit of revenge on account of the defeat of the efforts of the Plug Uglies to control the result of the late election here, as they essayed to effect that object, and abiding sympathy with such characters, could have given rise to such aspersions on the present Chief Magistrate of the United States as the resolutions in question embrace, is past us to comprehend. Certainly not the ordinary dif- erences between men, in political matters; as is forcibly illustrated by the indignation mani- this city against the actsof the Baltimore rowdy friends of F. S. Evans, which—having nothin ; to lose in the way of public confidence—he thus seeks to palliate, defend and commend. We hear, that in his remarks upon them, he sought to disavow the deep and ardent sympa- | pathy for Plug Uglyism pervading their every | sentence—a trick as unblushing as the profes- sions of being actuated by the holicst and pures motives in his political labors, to which he per- sistently resorts, though evidently aware that few, indeed, in this community, fail to estimate | such protestations on his part at their true value Tne Exp or tae Fiscan Year is a period both dreaded and longed for by persons in ac- tive business in the District of Columbia. It very often happens that numerous appropri- ations to be expended here run out weeks or months ere the term for which they are made ex- pires; that being the fiseal year, which breathes its last on the 30th of June, annually. Even in the case of the salaries of Government employees here, it not uncommonly happens that for a month before that date there is no moncy in the treasury that can be used to pay their dues. So, als», with various other contingent accounts of the Government at this point. As no one can hurry Unele Sam’s payments, business men here who are dependent on those who are his creditors as we explain above, are not unfre- quently greatly annoyed and embarrassed by the cecurrences of the season of such suspen- sions of payment, which they dread, but bear with all patience they can command. They therefore louk forward to the rising of the sun on the Ist of July, when the Treasury vaults are opened to their debtors, with no little pleas- ure, if not with nervous anxiety. It seems to us (without making partioular inquiry) that the Government now owes much less here than seemed to siate the few nts there are in Evadhe. ‘ihe called down eathusiastic ap- lause, was gre with the stereotyped floral onors, and wm Sahel twice before 2 curtain.

Tae CaLirorsia Senxators.—The Washing- ton correspondent of The Sonth, who writes of California politics as ‘‘ an expert’ in them, is, we are happy in being able to say. in error in writing down the California Senators as likely to be opponents of the National Administration next winter in fact, if not in name. Not long since we entertained the same impression with reference to the probable course of Senator Broderick ; but are now able to say that his immediate friends deny the allegation with great emphasis. As for Senator Gwin’s posi- tion, we know of our own knowledge that Tie South's correspondent is ander a mistake. We question much whether the Administration will have next winter a more earnest and active supporter in Congress than Wm. M. Gwin, of California. Al! signs certainly point in that way now. Navan Courts or Inquiny.—Before Court No. 1 Commandor McKinstry was re-examined in the case of Liemt. Foxhall A. Parker, which was then closed except in the submission of his defence, which wilf be read to-morrow. As the Scar went to press the case of Ex-Lt. Harrell. (dropped by the late Retiring Board) was about being taken up. Before Court No. 2, the case of Lt. Walk is still pending Captain Boutwell was examined on behalf of the Gover ument, and Commodores Boarman, Mayo and Salter. Commander Ben- ham and Dr. Squibb, U. 8. N., on behalf of the appellant. Before Court No. 3, the Hon. Reverdy Jobn- son has been all the morning reading his argu- ment in defence of Captsin Latimer. A very large number of naval officers and others were in attendance. Tae Anctic.—We underétand that the Navy Department has determined not to send the steamer Arctic on the surveying expedition on the Isthmus of Darien, for which Lieut. Craven has been designated. Thix vessel has been temporarily transferred to the coast survey, to fested by nine-tenths of the American party of | be employed under Lieut.

GexeraL Laxp Orrice.—Requisitions for the necessary funds have been drawn on the Treasury in favor of the Surveyors General of Arkansas, Florida, Louisiana, Illinois, Misson- ri, Minnesota, Kansas, Nebraska, Wisconsin and Towa, to enable them to meet their expen- ses of their respective officers for the last quar- ter of the fiscal year ending on the 30th June, | S57. ' Tue U. S. Steamer Water Witcn.—The Water Witch has been ordered to proceed to Philadelphia to convey the stores and effects of the Minister to China to the Minnesota, now lying in the harbor of Norfolk, and expected to sail on the 25th, or soon thereafter, for her des- tinativn in the East. A Ruwor.—Itiscurrently reported this mort - ing that Stanley Mathews. Esq., has been ap- pointed U. 8. District Attorney for the Southern District of Ohio, vice J. H. O'Neill, Esq., re- moved. Though unable to verify it, we believe there is good foundation for it. A Tria or Anws.—To-morrow, at 10 a. m., a trial of the relative merits and capacities of breech-loading guns will take place, we learn, at the Washington Arsenal, whereat the Secre- tary of War will be present in person. Tux New York Poutce Bu.t.—We have private advices from Albany, from which we judge that this morning the Court of Appeals announced their decision (by a vote of 6 to 1) in favor of the constitutionality of the police bill. Cuerks To District Laxp Orricers cannet act officially for such officers; the law not per- mitting the latter to delegate their powers and functions. Therefore, no papers signed by a i = ’ * ‘ land officers’ clerk in his stead is valid. since its late enlargement, is certainly the | usual, in the way and under such circumstances greatest and most complete work of the kind in America. The railroad passes through that town, so as from the car window I had a full view of the operation of its double series of stupendous Jocks. in one of which ascending boats are being locked up, while descending boats are being locked down to the lower level. They are twin locks, as it were—side by side— and in all. it struck ‘me. there were eight of them In passing through the city of Rochester we coursed within, perhaps, a hundred yards of the beautiful falls of the Genesee river. (dropping down eighty feet,) which furnish the power turn- ing the immense flouring wills located there. At Syracuse the point of interest was the salt works. The State owns the salt water in the bowels of the carth there, and taxes the Privilege of pumping it up for salt-making, beth by boiling and evaporation. The wells are bored, as the staple lies deep—very deep—below the surface, and their contents are pumped up, by steam- into shallow wooden vats, elevated, perhaps, two feet above the ground, with shifting plank covers—rvof-shaped—to be drawn over them in case of rain. The sun is relied on to evaporate the water, andeleave the salt residuum in these vats. When boiled, the water is pumped di- reetly into immense boilers, by artificial heat. At By: large business. Indeed, it is at the foundation of the trade which has made the Place a city of some thirty thousand inhabitants. Thousands of its citizens are said to be laborers in these salt works, which seem to cover hundreds of acres. These laborers are, I am told, a thrift- less se!, Irinking and spreeing off their slender earuing?, with 20 sbough: of the morrow. There racuse, this is a very to sell 2s low as possible, they almost invaria- bly seek to make themselves whole by grinding ‘the faces of their serfs; carrying the process to we explain above. Yet it owes enough in all conscience to fret and annoy many who made engagements to make payments predi- cated on the expectation that money due them or their debtors by the Government would be forthcoming on demand before the commence. ment of the new fiseal year, if required. The new Administration. to its credit be it written. have managed to guard against creating the usual deficits of the season more successfully than any other that has been in power as far back as our recollection of business affairs in Washington extends; which tells well, indeed, for the system and caution with which the Govern- ment’s financial affairs are now being transacted generally; for the same spirit of forethought and determination to confine expenditures within the amount provided for by the laws, must ne- cessarily pervade its transactions elsewhere, as well as here. Euiza Log 4s.—Notwithstanding the Saux pas of this talented actress in essaying to pro- Pitiate the criticism of the New York Herald, by writing a toadying letter to Bennett, which that individual published—by way of showing the power of his journal over “a lone woman,”’ we presume—her first appearance a few nights since before a New York audience was a com- plete triumph. ‘The critie of the Tribune, al- and is evaporated | ways just ard fair, ax well as able, we must do him the justice to say. thus speaks of her per- formance on that occasion : ‘Be this as it may, the play, although fall of inconsistencies and abyurdities, and bombast and ridiculous fustian from one end to the other, may nevertheless be invested with 4 certain dezree of interest by an actress of nnusual ability, and this ability we joyfully concede to Miss Lovan.
