_EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON CITY: THURSDAY .........-.......-. July 2, 18ST. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Intelligencer doubts the feasibility of the execution of the great overland California amail contract recently entered into. The editor is skeptical as to making the time, as per schedule—2.000 miles—over such a country, in twenty-five days, the trips to be made semi- weekly. The Union mnnounces the arrival of ex-At- torney General Cushing in this city, compli- ments the Hon. 0. R. Singleton, the Democratic nominee for Congress in the fourth district of Mississippi, and calls attention to the fact that Mr. Ex-Speaker Banks is running for the Gov- ernorship of Massachusetts on false pretences all around. ——— oe WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. Cextrat Awerics.—Yesterday, we took oc- casion to reprint from the Charleston Mercury an able and interesting article enforcing the necessity for the direction of the mind of the government of the United States to our affairs with the other States on the American conti- nent. Reading it, has set us to thinking on the subject more earnestly than of late; though for years past the growing importance of our rela- tions with those States has kept our attention #teadily fixed upon their future, as connected with ours. Many of our best friends have won- dered at the intensity of our disapprobation of filibustering, as illustrated in the columns of the Star. S We have to say that a belief that our national commercial path lies in the direction of Spanish America and the Pacific, is, in great part, the key to the sentiments we have so steadily en- forced upon the subject named above. Europe bas her own artisans, her own eystem in the arts, sciences, in literature and in all things else, and we may not hope successfully to com- pete with her where circumstances favor her supremacy over us. On this continent, cireum- stances favor American commerce and efforts; and nought but our want of tact ean defeat our supremacy en this side of the Atlantic and in regions to be reached most economically and speedily by crossing the American isthmus. No Sane man can question the fact that filibuster- ing against Spanish American States, while it has failed to result in any substantial advan- tage whatever to any American interest of which an honest man can approve, is likely to create prejudices against us as a nation in the minds of peoples who are or may be sufferers from it, which must make them jealous of and hostile to us; which. in turn, will greatly mili- tate against our growing commercial interests with them. This is plain reasoning, that all ean comprehend Besides—we are a Southern man, with South. ern affections and Southern political views, and are opposed to any readings, whatever, of law er propriety that involve justification of the Principle on which the Republican party of this country is founded. That principle, in few worsls, recognizes the right of the strongest te work their will. If we admit that it is just. right and proper that the people of the United States (under the idea that those of Central America are their inferiors and live under laws and institutions morally, religiously and industrially inferior to their own, or that in eur hands their country would do more for the future of the human race than in theirs,) have the right to overleap the implied obliga- tions of treaties and our domestic laws, and to take possession of their lands—for the life of us we cannot perceive how we can oppose the right of the stronger portion of this Confederacy to apply the same theory to us of the South. Not that we subseribe to their superiority in any- thing but cunning and “ dogged” perseverance. But. being the stronger, their right is admitted to determine the question of their own superi- ority, and to overleap the written guarantees of constitetion and laws. and to filibuster against us of the Southern United States, by any admis- sion of our right, as a nation, to violate treaties and the principles of international law and jus- tice, to possess ourselves of the territory of neighboring and weaker nations. But we wander from our theme, which is the present and future of Central America, and the best present means of profiting our eountry in connection with that portion of the conti- nent. It strikes us that the recent pacification of Nicaragua by the ejection of the fillibusters therefrom, offers to this Government an oppor- tunity to regain much that it has lost in the way of influence in that quarter through the inefficiency, of our laws to restrain the lawless among us, and to regain the substantial ad- vantages of which fillibustering bas already de- prived all our countrymen. We mean of the free and uuinterrupted means of inter-oceanic communication over the Nicarag isthmus ; 4# privilege of almost incalculable advantage to the United States under present circumstances We explained yesterday that the story of the purpose of the other Central American States to partition Nicaragua out among themselves, is but sheer nonsense. Her sovereignty has not yet been attacked, except by American fillibus- ters. Nor is there the least likelihood that the Central American States will essay any such thing ; if but for the fact that it is of vital im- portance to ~s to preserve Nicaragua’s sover- eignty True, Costa Rica haz for yeare past urged a claim toa sort of joint Sovereignty over the river San Juan and its port and to the Nicar- aguan depariment or county of Guanacasta, which can never be acknowledged by this Goy- ernment, if but for the fact that Costa Rica is but a finger of Great Britain in any such af- fair; English influence being paramount in her (Costa Rica’s) counsels. As we remarked yes- terday, Central American affairs have been our study for years. and we know well that the claiin of Costa Rica to the department of Guana- casta is fuunded neither on conquest, purchase, or cession. Or, in other words, that it has no existence in law. or even in Prescription of pos- session. She has not only never yet had the control (possession) of the transit route. but whenever she has undertaken to negotiate on the subject. she bas distinctly admitted that any such claim of hers is unfounded. Weak, and indebted to her as Nicaragua is at this moment, there is danger that ber Government may make some concession of joint Pproprietor- ship over the transit route, to Costa Rica; and it Strikes us as being the prime duty of t Government to take measures as soon as possi- ble to prevent that important mesns of commu- nication with our Pacific-coast possessions from thus indirectly lapsing under the control of | European (Englizh) influences. We are very sure that. already. the govern- ment of Nicaragua, though grateful to Costa Rica and her other allies in saving her from the terrible infliction of the filibusters, must be aware of the importance of strengthening itseig against Costa Rica’s persistent design of ob- taining the control of her transit route, on which she (Nicaragua) must depend as her hope of working herself out of ber pecuniary difficyl- ties; and we further believe that if the United States Government will save her from the ne. | cessity of succumbing to such designs of Costa Rica, she will gladly avail herself of our power #0 to do; the exercise of which must necessarily involve a guarantee to her that she shall not hereafter be molested by American filibusters. If we form a treaty with her (which we believe she will gladly make) jointly to protect and keep open the transit route, that act will in- volve a guarantee on our part that it shall be kept free from such molestation, as well as an estoppel from all future embarrassment by Costa Rica (and England in the back ground) con- cerning the transit route. Toca in England as a party to such a treaty, would be utterly to defeat its object; as is proved by the result of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, the most unfortu- nate and deservedly unpopular convention this Government has yet entered into. We are against the formation of a treaty with Nicaragua that shall identify this Government with the speculations of any steamship com- pany, or any other set of American speculators. If such people choose to trust Nicaragua, let them’ do so at their own risk; the arrangement of their affairs with that Government being their business solely—not that of the United States. Yet itis surely the duty of this Goy- ernment, ifit can obtain a controling influence over the future of the Nicaraguan transit route through the present exigencies of Nicaragua’s affairs with other Governments, which will fairly entitle it to keep open that highway for the free uso of all Americans traveling it under the arrangements that may be made by Nica- ragua with any American company with which she may choose to contract—todo so with as little delay as possible. It matters nothing to the American public ‘who of our fellow citi- zens run their ships upon the route, pro- vided it be kept always open and safe for the use of all our countrymen. That is the end to be achieved by this Government; and we recognize and fully appreciate the wisdom of the course of the present Administration in steadily refusing to identify itself with the speculations and fortunes of any of them. If it will but strike for such a treaty with Nica- Tagua as we explain above while the iron is hot, and leave her to deal alone with the rival American claimants for the use of the transit, all that is desirable for the country in this con- nection will be achieved, and some good will be extracted from what has transpired in Nica- ragua during the past two years.

General Orders,?, Headquarters of the Army, » UL, 6 New York, Jane 2, 1857, 1.—The General-in-Chief, with the approba- tion of the War Department, directs the follow- ing movements : 1. The tw mpanies of the Seventh Infantry now at Fort ith, Ark., will move, without de- lay, under the command of the junior Major, by land, via Fost Leavenworth, and take post at Fort Laramie, K.T 2. Two companies of the Seventh Infantry —one from Fort Washita, the other from Fort Arbuckle —to be selected by the commander of the regi- ment, will replace the two companies removed from Fort Smith 3. The portion of the Sixth Infantry at Fort Laramie, on being relieved by the two companies of the Seventh Infantry, will move to Fort Kear- ney, and uniting with the yarrison of that post, Il proceed to Fort Leavenworth, whence the command will embark for Jefterson Barracks, he attention of commanding officers is specially called to the preservation of the files records, books, &c.. belonging to their posts AU such will be left at the post when the garrison is temporarily withdrawn, and will be removed only in case the post is abandoned, when they will be sent todepartment headquarters. Officers on taking command will promptly report all - tilation of the files, and deficiencies in records and other public property, to the department commander. Company and regimental records will be kept distinct from those of ts and departinents. By command of Brevet Lieut. Gen. Scott: Invin McDowE tt, Ass't Adj. Gen. Tne Navat Counts or Inquiry.—Court No 1 was not in session to-day, owing to the ab- sence of Mr. Dulaney, (whose case is before it,) through the accident mentioned in the Scar yesterday. Before Court No. 2, Commander John R. Tucker and Lts. Jas. H. Moore, Ed. Lanier, R. B. Long and J. B. Daniels were examined to-day in the case of Lt. Rolando, and in his behalf. Betore Court No. 3, Purser Sinclair, and Cap- ins Sterrett and Jamieson were to-day ex- amined in Lieut. Murray Mason’s ease, and in his behalf. West Poixt.—On the Star’s first page, to day, will be found the report of the Board of Examiners of the West Point Academy, upon the condition of that institution as developed in the late annual examination. It is one of the most interesting and important documents that have seen the light fur months past. So | we publish it entire, preferring not to mutilate itin any way. It reflects as much eredit on the fidelity with which the Board discharged its duties, as on the institution, its officers and pupils ; which is saying much for it, indeed. | A Correctioy.—Our announcement of yes- | terday concerning the Miami (Indian) reserva- tion embraced important errors, and we there- fore now make a correct statement concerning it, as follows. Viz: In accordance with the treaty of 1854, the reservation of that tribe has been surveyed und set apart to them “in severalty,’’ each iadivid- ual of them being entitled to 200 acres. The residue is to be sold for the benefit of the tribe. Tne Navenez Connectorsnup or tHe Cus- ToMS.—We presume that the chunge in the of- | fice of Colleator of the Customs at Natchez, Miss., noted elsewhere in the Star to-day, was | made necessary by the absence of Collector Me- | Denaid from his post. He is under indictment | for some offence against the law of the State against duelling, and remains in Louisiana, out of its jurisdiction. Tae Rercrsd Puuisesters.—The dispatch from Commodore , an the ar- rival of the Wabash at New York, with 120 fil- libusters on board, has reached the Navy De- partment. After mentioning facts previously known through the newspapers, in this docu- ment, the Commodore says : «‘When received they were in a state of extret destitution. Besides what they had suffered from the want of food, they were without necessary clothing, and shockingly infested with vermin. When placed upon our gun deck the sickening efflavia from wounds and ulcers alarmed me for the health ofthe sbip; but this, as well as the condition of the sufferers, has been gradually im proved by the unremitted labor of our medical officers.”* He suggests that if the Government designs furnishing the means of transporting the three or four hundred others (filibasters) that have been ordered out of Central America, one of the store-ships of the service would be the pro- per vessel in which to take them up at Aspin- wall. Ie found it necessary to issue some gov- ernment clothing and stores to those he brought home. He states that Philip R. Thompson, (one of the filibusters,) who died on the pass- age, was formerly an officer in the U. S. Army. He explains, at length, the generous and hu- mane conduct of Capt. Erskine, of H. B. M. ship “Orion,” towards the filibusters of Lockridge’s party, and says that Capt. E. assures him that he had no agency whatever in the capture of the steamers on Lake Nicarayua, and other proceedings on the river; which story, it will be remembered, was published by che filibusters, by way of accounting for the loss of those ves- sels. In commenting on Captain E.'s explanation in refutation of the filibusters’ charges against him, the Commodore says : “It became necessary not only to give protec- tion to our misguided countrymen, but to recon- cile the interests of contending parties belonging to the United States, and of Baste Rica, not al- ways to be comprehended nor disposed of by an ordinary standard. Captain Erskine has, with much frankness and courtesy, explained to me the course pursued by him, which seems to have given satisfaction to all parties concerned."* APPoINTED BY THe PResipeNt.—John Hun- ter, Collector of the Customs, Natchez, Misz., vice Janes W. McDonald, removed. Andrew J. Decatur, Surveyor of the Customs, Bayport, Florida, vice John E. Johnson, re- signed. Thomas W. Sutherland. Collector of the Cus- toms, Sacramento, California, vice Charles C. Sackett, removed. Swamp Lanps 1s Fioripa axp Missovuri.— The General Land Office has just transmitted a patent in favor of the State of Florida for swamp and overflowed lands, under the act of the 28th September. 1850, embracing over 157,000 acres; and we learn that a patent in favor of the State of Missouri for nearly 4,000 acres will be mailed in the course of a few days. Tue ToxaAwAndA De Lecation now in Wash- ington are here trying to arrange their difficul- ties with the Ogden Land Company, arising out of certain transactions between the States of Massachusetts and New York, and also under the treaties of 1838 and 1542, to which the United States were a party. Tue CnesareAke anv Onto Caxat.—Yees- terday, we hear, the President and Directors of this Company gave their personal guarantees for the money necessary to complete its repairs and thus promptly raised the necessary sum This proves that they are, indeed, deeply inter- ested in the future of their charge. GoveRNoR Mepary, or Mixnesota.—This distinguished gentleman, who came here a few days since, on business with the Government, we learn, leaves Washington for St. Paul’s to- morrow, probably. His visit was wholly one of busin and he is not the man to remain absent from his post a moment longer than duty requires. A Resignation axp AppointweNt.—Mr Godard Bailey, of Ala., has been appointed to a fourth class ($1,800 per annum) clerkship in the Interior Department, vice Mr. A. S. H White, resigned.
