EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON CITY: MONDAY .... .2..c00-50+--eeeeeeTuly 6, 1857. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Union discusses, in an able and inter- esting article, the future of this governmentand country, in connection with the other govern- ments and countries on thiscontinent. After showing that the acquisition of California has necessarily generated a material and abiding interest on Our part in their affairs, and also the imperative necessity for the preservation of some transit way of inter-communication free for the people of all nations, at all times and under all circumstances, as now a prime duty of this Government, the editor proceeds to dis- claim, on the behalf of this Government, the idea of territorial acquisitions in Central Amer- iea, and to show that the very best possible policy for the Central American States to pur- sue is, tosecure tous and other commercial tations the free use of such a transit above and beyond any contingencies of revolutions or other local hindrances of its uninterrupted en- joyment at all times and under all circumstan- ces. The able article on which we are com- menting concludes as follows: “One of the most formidable obstacles is a jealousy which has been deeply infused into the minds of the le of Mexico and South Amer- ica principally through the medium of that for- eign intiuence to which we have so often alluded. They have been persuaded that the policy of the United States contemplates the extension of this confederation over the entire continent, and con- sequently. not only the occupation of the soil, but the overthrow of their nationality and the extinc- tion of their race. ** That some such ideas have been thrown out by more than one sagacious and profound states- man in attempting to penetrate the mysteries cf futarity, and that they are entertained by a por- tion of the people of the United States, is very certain. But we do not believe any administra- tion of this government, it or present, ever made these anticipations the basis of its policy, or contemplated any action for the purpose of ac- celerating their accomplishment. That there are certain consequences which must necessarily re- sult from certain causes, unless counteracted by others more powerful, cannot reasonably be dis- puted. Thus, the multiplication and expansion of « race of men of superior intelligence, energy activity, enterprise, and numbers, it is natural to presume will lead to an ultimate realization of | what Mr. Jefferson predicted as early as 1726, when he expressed the conviction that ‘our con- federacy is the nest from which all America, North and South, is to be peopled. . “* Bat, if these anticipations are ever realized, we will'venture to say it will not be by any pre- meditated poiicy of this government, and least of all, by conquest or usurpation. ‘The United States, at least for the present, have plenty of room for expansion ; and neither covet their neighbor's lands nor fear their rivalry, either separate or combibed. They do not wish to subdue them ; end there are insuperable obstacles, which must occur to every reflecting mind, to their annexa- tion to this confederacy. “If, then, the people of the Uniteg States should, in the course of ages, expand over the whole, or a great portion of the New World, and carry with them their habits, manners, language, institutions. and liberty, it will not be by any course of action on the part of the governinent Ji will not be becanse man wills it. but because he cannot arrest the impulse that controls the great tide of human events. It will be owing to those great universal causes that operate at all times and everywhere when the Supreme Ruler of the Universe takes the reins in his hands, and politicians, statesmen, potentates. and nations be- come the passive instruments of His providence.’? The Intelligencer thus announces the event which yesterday overshadowed our city with gloom : Deatu or Wa. L. Marcy.—A telegraphic dis- shape. We have no room to prablish the pitia- ble stories frome their own lips of their suffer- ings at his bandage it take occasion to say that as published in New York Herald they justify to the letter all we haze felt it to be our duty to write for the public eye concerning him, his. career and the ends he has sought to carry out in Nicaragua. We shall, whenever he may hereafter find detienders in the news- papers, publish what his own wounded, sick and deserted say of him. and his conduct to his followers, as the best means of curing our countrymen vf all prupensity to run risks in order illegally to possess themselves of the pro- perty and territory of a neighboring people. Tur Deata or Wa. L. Mancy.—Elsewhere in to-day’s Scar, the reader will find an account of the sudden death of this great man. Our WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. Tar Stan’s Axxiversary.—To-day, the Star enters upon its fifth year, under our aus- pices. From a very small beginning it has gradually and surely achieved a circulation, greater than that of any other daily newspaper in the world published in a city of the popula- tion of Washington, and its advertising patron- ago is at this moment unequalled by that of any other newspaper of twice its age, published " any other city in the world of the population the Federal Metropolis. There are substantial reasons for these facts, or they would not exist. They mean that no other journal has ever ac- quired in the same time so large 9 share of the confidence and regard of the population among whom it is printed, andwhere it may be known. is ularity is not of the mushroom or- eayhae se a, the fact known to all its patrons, that day by day and step by step its business has improved. and, without a fluctu- ation, it has steadily grown in public favor. We have labored earnestly to make it deserve these substantial evidences of the good opinion of the public, faithfully inculeating at all times and in all things without fear or favor, what we believed to be for the best interests of society. We have also expended our means liberally to improve it; not hesitating to do so to the extent of our ability when and where such expenditures wereadvisable. Asanadvertising medium. it is now unrivaled anywhere ; for it is a daily wel- come visitor in the bosom of nearly every family in Washington and the surrounding cities and country. Its advertising columns show that the business men among us known for their thrift and sagacious enterprise are well aware that fact. Our purpose is to increase its utility as a public journal by the application of the means at our command, until we make it what we de" sire it to be. Viz: A newspaper second in ita wide spread influence in favor of commendable principles in ali the affairs of life, to that of no other newspaper in the United States. We owe much, indeed, for its unprecedented success to our fellow-citizens of all parties, who have evinced for ita degree of regard, and, in it: a degree of confidence, which has inspirited us in the work of its improvement, beyond measure ; teaching us thet, with unflagging industry and energy and continued devotion to their best in- terests, we may continue to calculate upon the step by step increage of its prosperity. Though now in the middle of a long recess, its regular issue was never before so great at this season of the year as at present; nor’ was the adver- tising patronage it enjoys ever so large in the summer. as now—even when Congress may have been sitting. We have much, indeed, for which to thank the public, and in its future conduct shall strive conscientiously to show that we are duly grateful. Tue CHESAPEAKE AND Onto Cansi.—We cannot perceive how more than three months’ through navigation, at most, can be enjoyed on the Chesapeake and hio Canal this season. notwithstanding the energy with which its managers are pressing its repairs. The loss to the business community relying upon it for fa- cilities must be immense. We have now en- tered on the seventh month of the year, and it is not possible that its through navigation can be resumed ere the opening of the eighth month, feelings prevent us from venturing on the task of writing an eulogy uponhim. For more than four years past it was our lot to know him inti- matcly, and to be well aware that in all his re- lations as a man he was as bright an example of the value and force of intellect, as all the world know him to have been, as a statesman. As great as he was, he was not greater than he was good. That is, he was pre-eminently a good citizen, husband, parent, relative and friend. As bright as he displayed himself in affairs of State, he was not brighter there, than in the domestic circle, or when surrounded by his immediate personal friends. So long as we, live we shall be prouder of the personal confi- dence and esteem of the late Wm. L. Marcy which it was our good fortune to enjoy, than of aught else. Wasnixcton CorresroxpeNnce.—The true value of newspaper speculations upon the inten- tions of the Government in public affairs, of which so large a portion of the Washington cor- respondenee of the day is made up, is capitally illustrated by the action of the Government here, at the end of the late fiscal year, in the matter of removals and appointments in Wash- ington. Throughout the month of June, it was constantly being published in all directions. with a degree of positiveness that was ainusing, clerks of all classes, by the score. were to lose their heads (official) to make room for new em- employees and officers. Well, the new fiscal year has set in, and those who have looked to the steady twinklings of the Evening Star for information in such matters, find that they, at least, have not been misled as to what was to happen in the matters to which we refer. Nava Courts or Ixquiry.—To-day, Mr. Dulany not having returned to Washington (owing to the continued illness of his daughter) Court No. 1 took up the case of Lt. Jno. N Maffit, (furloughed by the late Naval Retiring Board,) and Lieuts. Maxwell, Woodhull and Edmund Lanier were examined on Lieut. M.’s behal!. He conducts his own defence. Before Court No. 2, the case of Lieut. Ro- lando continues on trial. Its session of this morning was devoted to the reading and sub- mission of documentary testimony on behalf of Lieut R. Before Court No. 3, the defence in the ease of Lieut. Murray Mason was read, and the case was then submitted. At the conclusion of the Court’s deliberation they adjourned. ‘ch announced to us yesterday one of those sud- Le dispensations of Providence, so unexpected znd so much to be deplored as to fall like a stun- ning physical blow, and for a moment to suspend one’s bieathing. ‘The scrap of r was dated at Ballston Springs on Saturday, 4th instant, and read: ** Mr. Marcy was found dead in his room ahout noon to-day. He appeared to be in his usual health this morning.”’ In each minute of time such numbers of victims are ever obeying the final smmunons that the solemnity of the event is diminished by its familiarity; but this un- looked-for stroke of the destroyer will ‘give pause”? to every heart in the vast country; for no man was more widely known to the intelligent portion of his countrymen for his important civil services, Or was mofe universally respected for his abilities as a statesman, his well-balanced ore sar his firmness in the path of duty, and Eis inflexible integrity. At his period of life, and wfter the close of his brilliant career und«r the late Administration, it is probable that Mr. Marey would never in have emerzed from the shades of private life; still, his death must be regarded asa public loss, and it will be everywhere qnourned as such.

Nat Searaaebosine Tue Great Centex.—lIt is well known that Maedler, successor of M. Struve in the direction of the observatory of Dorpat., has, after a profound examination, come to the conclusion that Aleyone, the principal star in the group of the Pleiades, now occopies the centre of gravity, and is at pre- sent the sun about which the universe of stars composing our astral system are all revolving. Admitting the truth of this theory, it leads to some of the most astonishing results. The known parallan of certain fixed stars gives to us an ap- proximate value of the parallax Aleyone, and re- to us the distance of the grand centre. Such is the enormous interval Ce agate the *un from the central star about which it performs its mighty revolution, that the light from Alcyone requires a period of 537 years to traverse the dis- tance. And if we are to rely on the angular mo- 4 of the sun and system, as already deter- mined, at the end of 1+.200,000 years, this great jJaminary, with all its planets, satellites and comets. will have completed one revolution around its great centre. ba SAEs Tue Greatest Berrer ix ENGLAND.—Con- Spicuous among those who were making their way to and fro through the crowd was Mr. Davis, the greatest betting man in alPEugland, and who was actively engaged in completing his book for the coming race. ‘To those who have read or heard of this individual’s sudden rise and extra- ordinary fortunes in the racing ring, it may not be uninteresting to say that, with the exception of a sharp and well-defined profile, and a keen, bright eye. there ix nothing about the man to in- dicate genius; ie is irregular, one foot being slightly lame. while the left shoulder fs so much higher than the right as to give his body almost the appearance of deformity. He is of obscure origin, and when he began Xie betting career he ‘was working at his trade asa journeyman car- penter. He has lost and won hundreds of thou- sands of pounds within the past few years, and his conduct has throughout been high-tuned and strictly honorable. He is said to have lost on one occasion £70,000, which he promptly paid; thus affording an honorable contrast to the conduct, under like efrcumstances, of his social betters ac cording to English ideas—imen with hereditary titles, or bearing commissions in the Queen’s ser- vice.—Correspondence Louisiana Courier. 7 The Hudson River Railroad Com have placed upon their line several tine pied cars.

Her hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes are almost while no calculation can reasonably be made on its use during the twelfth month—December. We attribute this state of its affairs to the pol- iey of Marylaud in her management of it. She has dragged it into politics, and also exhibited a fixed determination to do all she docs in con- nection with it not for the benefit of the busi- ness of the work itself. but to prevent it from being the means of enabling any others to do any business whatever elsewhere, that iz now being done or may hereafter be done in Balti- more. To create delays and embarrassments in the transaction of business by means of the the canal, is evidently the leading feature of the State’s canal policy. That she has eminently succeeded in it this season, is past denial. Ev- ery two years, or whenever a political change takes place in the State’s government, a similar change is made in most ot the employees of the An Inportant Contract To BE LET.—To- day, the bids for furnishing the Post Office De- partment with the stainped envelopes the public of the United States may require for some years to come are to be opened. Among the bidders on the ground we perceive agents of the New York houses of George P. Nesbit, (the present contractor.) John P. Hall, and Obrien & Butler, and Mr. Rice, the proprietor of the (Philadel- phia) Pennsylvanian. The contest for furn- ishing these envelopes is very great, evidently so the contract will be given out at rates very advantageous to the Government.

Canal Company, who are sclected for the most part on account of their political services rather than for their capacity to discharge the duties of Canal Superintendents, lock tenders, &c., best for the interest of the work. Under such circumstances who wonders that such disastrous breaks, washing away of dams. &c., take place, as those which now render the work a nuisance to all and a help to none in business There is just one remedy for this state of the eanal’s affairs. That is, a sale or gift of the work by the State to some parties or other able, willing and sufficiently interested to put it in complete order and to keep itin such condition This will be brought about only by the pressure of an indignant public opinion ; and the present condition of the work is fast generat'ng that. The idea of selling it to the set of speculators who will promise most for it, which the State authorities entertain, if carried out will simply perpetuate the existing difficulties and disabil- ities of the work. Whoever purchases it must buy it subject to very heavy liens, mortgages, preferred debts, &c.; thus in the end paying what may be regarded as almost its present full value, in paying them off. The time will soon come when the State must transfer the canal wholly into the hands of those directly and im- mediately interested in making it what it should be. SpecvuLatixc.—The public may write down all + Washington correspondence,’ whether by telegraph or otherwise, attributing to the influ- ence uf Costa Rica the elevation of Martinez to the Presidency of Nicaragua,ashavingoriginated directly or indirectly with one of two classes of speculators. Not that we mean that the writers of such * Washington news’ are the specula- tors; but they are imposed on by those interest- ed either in the profits and losses of pecuniary speculators in fillibustering. or in contemplated enterprises to run the Nicaragua transit route. The game of those who speculate in fillibuster- ing is, of course. to send Walker back to Nica- ragua; and it will never do for them to permit the world to know that a thorough Nicaraguan administration continues to exist there. The speculators in steamships and the Nicaraguan transit route hope to make satisfactory ar- rangements for their respective enterprises with other parties than the government of Nic- aragua, which has been too severely bitten to enter lightly into any new contracts. Martinez, the present President of Nicaragua, is a man of mind, experience, energy and char- acter, and will be slow to make any steamship and transit contract for his country that will not be most to its pecuniary advantage, while it will embrace directly or indirectly a full guar- antee that Nicaragua is not hereafter to be troubled with “ enterprises’ similar that of Walker. Tar Fiuimvstkr Watker—avoided thie city on his return to the South.
