EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON CITY: WEDNESDAY...............++.July §, 1857. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Intelligencer, commenting on the news of the recent British{official) declaration that that Government entertain no thought of terri- torial acquisition on this Continent—of obtain- ing a foothold in the Chinca islands, or islands in Pansma Bay, or, indeed, any other such ac- quisition—says : “«It will have the good effect to deprive the “ sensation”’ pay of much of their capital for agitation, those of them at least who will have se grace to giwe it credence; for there is a large portion of them whose sole principle of foreign action is hatred of the entire European world, and who live in the conceit that the overthrow of the United States Government in general and of the ** Monroe Doctrine”? in particular is the settled aim and nero purpose of all the “< great Powers,”’ but of England more than any.”’ The Star's readers are aware that we have given no heed to the bugaboo stories concern- ing England’s intentions, which Lord Claren- don took occasion to explode in making the declaration on which the Intelligencer thus comments. Yet it will, and should, require much more than an English official declaration, to satisfy the American public that England’s governmental influence is not exerted with un- flagging energy and unsurpassed sagacity upon the task of repressing the growth of American commerce and influences in every other Amer- ican country, North, Centraland South. She (England) is our great rival in trade, and though she may not at this time conceive abso- lute territorial acquisitions on this Continent to be her policy, it is just when making such protestations that her intrigues to foreclose ad- vantages against us and forestall just American influences in Mexico, and Central and South Amarica, need most attention on the part of this Government. Her history shows, past all de- nial, that she makes territorial acquisitions, if within ber reach, when and where her policy Tequires them. Her declaration that at this time she seeks none on this Continent is there- fore simply a proclamation either that none are within her reach, or that her interests on the Awerican Continent can just now be better subserved by using itsGovernments, rather than by seizing their territory The Union, this morning, publishes the fol- lowing news from the East whieh is very apro- pos to what we take oceasion to say above bearing cut, to the letter, our view of the policy of Britain with reference to territorial acquisi- tions. Here, her game for the time being, is to seize or purchase no territory. There, it is to grab all within her reach : “Recent arrivals tell us that ‘accounts from India’ state that the Governor-General, on the ad- vice of his counsel, had declared the annexation to the Anglo-Indian empire of the States of Bijoy- Singh, Rajah of Hindou Khouch, who died‘on the llth April without heirs. The territories which have just been annexed to the British - sessions are situated on the sout slopes of the Hiadou Khouch, a vast cain of mountains called the Indian Caucasus, which extend from the frontiers of Persia to the Indus, in the north of Py ame and in the south of Badakehan and iudependent Turkestau. The States of Bijoy- Singh contain very rich aud fertile districts, and possess from their geographical position great political importance.”’ SSUEEEEniectenaneteeeeeee WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. Isstrections vs. Stump Sperenes —Our Southern exchanges come to us full of misap- prebensions of the real state of things in Kan- sas. destined. we sincerely believe, suon to be dissipated. They evidently arise from the mis- taken idea that in the excitement of stump speaking, Governor Walker reflected the spirit of the instructions with which he left Wash- ington. Having already explained the tenor of those instructions, which are known to hun- dreds, if not thousands, in this section—for the members of the Government here have freely explained their purport to all desirous of ob- taining information concerning them—there is no necessity furus to repeat that explanation ow ; more especially as some of the Southera paper: are already drawing the proper distine- tion. We may, however, point our Suuthern brethren to the fact that though many of our friends in Kansas a month age stood opposed to the policy of Governor Walker, he is now unan- imously sustained by the South in the Territory ‘This change involves the fuet that they are sat- isfied, not only with the purity of his intentions, but with the propriety of his policy under the eireumstances by which he is surrounded. So long as they hold their present position towards him, it will be worse than folly on the part of the South to commit itself to opposition to the Suceess of the Democratic party in the Territo- ry, of which he is now the head, in which is in- volved all hope of the eventual triumph of the policy of the South in connection with the fu- ture of slavery in the Union. We mean of the poliey of the Kansas and Nebraska act, on which the South fought and won the late Presidential election. Tae Covcvuara Isstiretion ror tue Dear asp Deus axp THE Brisy.—This institution, incorporated by Congress during its last session, is organized and will in a short time be ready to receive pupils. The Directors are Hon. Amos Kendall, Presi- dent; Wm. Stickney, Seeretary ; G. W. Riggs, Treasurer; Wm. H. Edes, Judson Mitchell, J. C. MeGuire, David A. Hall, and Byron Sunder- land. Mr Edward M. Gallaudet, recently an in- structur in the American Asylum at Hartford, Ct., and a son of the late Kev. Thomas H. Gal- laudet, LL.D., haz been appointed Superin- tendent, and will be assisted by his mother, who is herself a mute and was among the first educated in America The institution is located about a mile north of the Capitol, near the tesidence of its Presi- dent, who has generously donated a house and Jot for its accommodation The situation is elevated, and commands a fine view of the Capitol, the city, and the sur- rounding country. Washington, being the national capital, is emphatically the place for euch an institution, of which our country may be proud, and in which the whole nation may take an interest; and there is no reason why thia institution should not become a national high school, whove benefits should be dispenzed not only to the childien of the District, the means for whose instruction are provided by Congress, but to those graduates of other insti- tutions in the country, whose talent and capa- bilities deserve a more liberal education than the different State Legislatures allow. Inorder that it may be permanent, and its success cer tain, it should be well endowed at the outset Sovrueen Convention —The committee ap- pointed at the last Southern Convention (held at Savannab, (ia ) have called another to as- semble in Knoxville, Fenn . onthe second Mon- day (the 10th) in August Thetime selected is propitious, the season being one at which near- dy all likely to go may find leisure to do so. ‘The point selected is in the centre of a region of country embracing many remarkable natural advantages and beauties that are little known, even to the people of the South, themselves Every necessary preparation for the proper commodation of a very large concourse of strangers is being made We have become a convert to the belief that these annual gatherings of leading southern aninds is destined to do much in the end for the commerce and other industrial interests of the South; for already they have awakened through- out its length and breadth the most commenda- ble spirit. holding out the prospect of a *peedy aggregation of efforts that in the end will dis- enthral the trade of the slaveholding States from the disabilities under which it now no- toriously rests. Ovr Paciric Squaproy, aND American In- TERESTS IN THAT QuaRTER.—Capt. John C. Long has received preparatory orders for the command of the Pacific Squadron. The steam frigate Merrimac is being fitted for sea at Boston for that station, and will be the flag-ship of the squadron. The steam- frigate Saranac, being fitted at Philadelphia, is also intended for that station. The squad- ron will then consist of the new steam-frigate Merrimac, flag-ship ; side-wheel steam-frigate Saranac; sloops-of-war St. Mary's, Com’r C. Hi. Davis; Falmouth, Com’r Hoff; Decatur, Com’r Thatcher; Massachusetts, steam store- ship, and the Fredonia, store-ship at Valpa- raiso. It is believed that the John Adams will return home, via Cape Horn, on the arrival of the Saranac on the station. The important commercial interests of our country with the Pacific ocean coasts and islands render it highly necessary and important that this squadron should be divided into the North and South Pacific Squadrons, and that each squadron should be composed of at least eight ships not smaller than sloops-of-war of the first class, for obvious reasons. Viz: That the sec- ond and third class sloops cannot carry suffi- cient provisions to take them from Valparaiso to San Franciseo and back. And even this in- crease would be the smallest number. The extensive coast from Panama to Lower Califor- nia would employ at least one-half of the foreo to keep down the filibustering spirit, while the other half would only be left for keeping the Indians at bey on the straits of San Juan de Fuca and to protect the islands of the north Pacific. The North Pacific squadron would require all the vessels contemplated to protect the com- merce on the coasts of Equador, Peru, Chili, and the island of the South Pacific Ocean, all of which should be visited at least once a year, requiring a constant and vigilant protection to keep the renegadoes from the islands that are constantly lurking about there instigating the natives to cut off the ships of this branch of commerce. Tus New Rovre to tHE Sours West.—In our advertising columns to-day, the reader will find a new schedule of the running of the Orange and Alexandria Railroad and the roads running in connection with it, from which it will be per- ceived that that company have effected ar- rangements for a through connection to Mem- phis, Tennessee, which present more induce- ments for travelers destined to the southwest or any point within striking distance of the line of the route than any other now in operation. The region through which this great and im- portant route passes is,in our judgment at least, the most agreeable and interesting to the traveller on this continent, and most of it is en- tirely new to the traveling public. The ar- rangements that have been entered into to se- cure regularity, comfort, economy and despateh in traveling it, are unsurpassed at this day ‘The travel to und from nearly all the Virginia Springs which must necessarily pass over por- tions of this line, will certainly secure for it a heavy business from the start. and will thus bring its extraordinary facilities promptly into general notice. To reach the Green Brier White. and other Sulphur Springs, of Virginia, but six hours staging is now necessary over this route, which fuet will probably cause thousands to visit them this season, who, but fur its facili- tie would abstain trom essaying to penetrate so nto the recesses of the picturesque mountain region of Virginia Tue Late Wu. L. Marcy.—ur exchanges continue to come to us filled with evidences of the nation’s grief over the death of the great stateeman of the age. That grief evidently knows no party ; for the journals of all shades in politics now vie with each other in bearing testimony not only to his greatness, but to his worth in all respects. which many of them were loth to admit while he walked the earth and was a power among the people. Everywhere, as here, his sudden demise has cast a gloom over the face of society; fur it is now evident that all revered him and confided in his abiding patri- otism, however much many differed with him upon the subject of our domestic polities, to which of late years he paid less attention than to the present and future of our foreign rela- tions, and the prospects of our country to grow out of them. His personal bistury is so well known to all, that we see no necessity for pub- lishing the able popular biography of him which his death has induced hundreds of journals to spread before their readers. Revvctios or Postage to rue Britisu Con- oniks or FALKLAND IsLanps, Gaeta, Lanu- Ax, Toxtan Istanps, anp Natau.—We are re- quested to state that, in consequence of arecent redaction of the British postage, the single rate of letter postage between the United States and tho British colonies of Falkland Island, Gam- bia, Labuan, Ionian Islands, and Natal, via England, will hereafter be 33 cents, prepay- ment required, when conveyed from England, a3 follows, vi Falkland Islands and Gambia by packet or hy private ship. .Labuan and Ionian Islands by private ship.

CLeRiIcaL APPOINTMENTS UNDER THE CALL or ConGReSS FoR INPORMATIUN CONCERNING Tue Paciric Coast Inp1aN TroupLES.—Con- gress, at its last session, called for certain in- formation with reference to Indian troubles in California and Oregon and Washington Terri- tories, embracing a mass of correspondence so great cs to require the services of a litttle bri- gade of clerks to prepare it in tifhe to be sent in with the next annual report of the Seeretary of the Interior, who has, we learn on the Avenue made the following clerical appointments to that end : AeS. H, White, N. H.; Peter All, Pa.; B. G. Daniels, N. Y_; Walbach, at large; Thos. Mitchell; Conn.; W. L Todd, Alabama; W. A. Cave, Va, J.C. R. Clark, Missouri; Carey Gwynne, Indiana New ORLEANS AnD Vera Cruze STEAMSHIP Lixe —We learn that the steamship “ Texas’’ sailed trom New Orleans with the mails for Mexico on the Ist of July instant, and that she is expected hereafter to perform regular semi- monthly trips, leaving New Orleans on the Ist and 15th of each month. It will be recollected that the mail service on the above line has been very irregularly per- formed, and during a part of the time actually suspended since the month of September, 1856, when the “ Texas” was withdrawn from the line by the late contractor. Nava. Courts or Inquiry.—To-day, the case of Lieut. Maffitt is being continued before Court No. 1, and Commodores Aulick and Me- Cauley were examined in his bebalf, and a num- ber of depositions, also in hia favor, were read and put in as evidence—among them being those of ex-Secretary Dobbin and Prof. Bache. Before Court No. 2, the evidence in the ease of Lt. Rolando was closed by the testimony of Commander Rodgers and Lieut. Gibson, in his behalf The argument in his behalf will be read on Friday next, and in the meanwhile the Court will probably proceed with Capt. Sterrett’s case Court No. 3 are to-day upon the case of Com- mander Bruce. (furloughed by the late Retiring Board.) in which the evidence {s entirely docn- mentary. It was closed ere we went to press. Nor Bauisvep Here.—Tho Baltimore Sux of this morning contained the following tele- Sr. Louis, July 4.—The St. Joseph, Missouri, Journal, of the 2d publishes a statement of a French trader, that a y of one hundred troops and teamsters, of Col. Sumner’s command, Were attacked by a large body of Cheyenne Awa- fahoe Indians, miles west of Fort Kearney, and all was slain! is sad report is confirmed. by a trader who arrive&at Pacific city, lowa, on eee and also by an emigrant train from Salt 2. Concerning it we have to say that it finds no credit whatever at the War Department. If it be true that this detachment of troops were all killed, as said above, how is it possible that tra- ders near enough to the scene of the alleged oc- currence to learn its particulars could have es_ caped themselves to bring the news into the settlements ? Wa. Open Nives, Esg.—This gentleman, (a son of the late well-known Hezekiah Niles,) recently promoted to a principal clerkship in the Pension Bureau, was despatched a few days ago to Philadelphia by the head of the Pension Bureau, to attend to business in connection with the prosecution of Judge Vondersmith, for forgery in obtaining land warrants fraudu- lently. Subsequently, Mr. Commissioner Whit- ing received a despatch stating that he had been euddenly afflicted with alarming illness. Lanp Parents.—It is a rule of the General Land Office, in the issuing of patents upon du- plicate certificates of location of warrants, or upon duplicate receiver’s receipts, to transmit them to the local officers where the land was lo- cated, or entered for delivery upon the surren- der of the duplicates ; but if the duplicates are sent to the General Land Office, the patents will be transmitted directly to the party sur- rendering such duplicates. LaNDs UNDER THR GRADUATION AcT oF 4TH Avevst, 1854.—It has been decided that an executor has a right to enter land under this law, for the use and benefit of an adjoining farm or plantation belonging to the estate of the de- eedent.

The Democratic convention to nominate a can- didate for Congress met at Lecompton on the 2d instant. Judge Elmore presided over the body. Ex-Governor Ramson, of Michigan, was nomi- nated by two-thirds vote over Hon Moore. A resolution endorsing the policy of Governor Walker, and expressing a determination to sup- port him, was adopted. A resolution to adopt the constitution to be framed by the constitu- tional convention, whether it is submitted to the people or not, was lost by a vote of 40 years to 41 nays. A letter to the Republican says that the Demo- cratic convention at Lecompton is composed of a majority of pro-slavery men, but on the whole the Democratic party support the views in Governor Walker’s maugural address aud approve the sub- mission of the constitution to the people. Reso- lutions were passed excluding all sectional dis- tinctions, adopting the Cincinnati platform, and assuming the name of the National Democracy of Kansas, embracing Democrats from the North and South. Later advices from Leavenworth state that Gen. Harney discredited the reported battle between the Indians and the United States troops. Tuk Late Acciwent ON THE MARIETTA Roav —The Cincinnati Commercial publishes in full the report of the coroner’s inquest on the bodies of those persons killed by the recent ac- cident on the Cincinnati and Marietta Railroad The jury came to the conclusion that “the acci- dent did not Lave its origin in any want of care and skill on the part of the conductor orengineer, but that the accident was caused by the failure of the forward truck of the passenger car to ac- commodate itself to the straight line after being set to the curve, as it passed on the trestle.”?

Yesterday there was assembled at the George- town College an overflowing audience to witness the annual exhibitien. The spacious hall in the main building was filled to its utmost, there be- ing not less than Secs ee a wi were. me bees The occasion ‘was honored with ine Gua etic eet meta Recretarics Cobb and Floyd, Al ‘General of our own and your city. The exercises throughout were of the very first order, equal, if not superior, to those of any previous exhibition, fully sumtalning the enviable reputation which this ven in- stitution of learning has sustained for half acentuty. t The College is situated on one of the most beautiful eid picturesqne eminences adjacent to our city, commanding an uninterrupted view in every direction as far as the eye can reach, and is surrounded by as romantic and beautiful scenery, and healthy and salubrious aang | as any other point probably in the Union. These ad- vantages doubtless tends in some de todraw together annually, from almost every civilized nation upon the globe, the hundreds of pupils whose minds are here prepared and trained witb secular knowdledye to fit and qualify them to fill properly any or all the relations in life, and with moral principles, if properly heeded. to enable them to combat successfully life’s stern realities. The College is owned and conducted by the Society of Jesuits, and is provided at ail times with a corps of professors and teachers, unsur- ssed in point of ability by those in any other Institution in the land. Upon the whole, we think we hazard nothing when we assert that the Georgetown College, to-day, can take rank among the very first institutions of the kind on either continent. ‘This year th muber of yraduates is ten ‘The first speaker on the occasion was Mr. Win. Choice, of South Carol Subject : Education. He seemed to comprehend fully the importance of his subject, and entered with his whole soul into a lucid discussion of its great importance, and glowingly descanted upon the benetits tlow- ing from its acquirement, and general dissemina- tion. Upon the whole, his address was one of no ordinary ability, and told with thrilling effect upon the large audience; not, however, to the same extent as did his valedictory.

Each of thesesubjects he handled with a degree of skill that would have done no dis- credit to a much older and more experienced head. “The 5th of May, or death of Napoleon,” by ‘ Necessity of fixed principles”? Bowling, and *‘ Pompey or a night scene at Pharsa’ by Wim. D. Clark, were all well delivered, but did not seem to elicit much interest. ‘* Caius Marius at Carthage,” etry by W James Blakely, was excellent and well de- livered and received. ‘The Crusades,”? by Emile Rost, was also well spoken. “ Horatius Cocles,” poetry, by James F. McLaughlin, was regarded as the very best piece in poetry spoken on the asion. It w: elivered in fine style, and el \long and loud applause. During the delivery of this piece President Buchanan, accom- panied” by several friends, entered the hall. Fier entrance caused considerable commotion among the andience, and immediately upon the close of the address the band struck up ‘* Hail to the Chieftain,’’ which was played in fine style while the President and friends were being con- ducted to seats. ** Permanency of Literary,Pame,” by F. A. Lan- caster, was a tine production, and well delivered. ** Braddock’s Defeat,”? wee’ by John F. Mar- rion, was also delivered in fine style. © Princi- ples of True Liberty,” by Carles A. Hoyt, was alsoa fine production, aid delivered in a style which secured for the speaker the admiration of the entireandience. Music,’’ poetry, by Chas B. Kinney, was also very good, and well received; and the Valedictory, by William Choice, was a beantifal and atfec farewell to his teachers and companions. Judging from the visible mani- festations of satisfaction among his auditory, it made a deep and lasting impression upon’ the tuinds of most if not all present. Then followed the admirable address of Judge Wim. M. Merrick, of the Cireuit Court, before the Philodemie Soci- ety. It was delivered in avery animated and graceful mauner. He wore the badge of the So- ciety on his coat coltar, and made the name of the Soctety the foundation of his disco: . The principal aim of the address seemed to be to de- monstrate that true democrac only to be found in the principles and practice of the doctrines of the New Testament, taking for the chief corner- stone of political ethies the do unto others as we would they should do unto us The Judze's address elicited universal ap- we from all who were near enoush to bear him distinetly.
