EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON CITY: TUESDAY. .........000+-ese0e-July 14, 1867. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Intelligencer, to-day, continues its frank and earnest support of the Kansas policy of President Buchanan, saying, in the course of its article : “Talk as we will, or quarrel as we may, the | gp will of the Territory must sooner or later ve its way, and the po) sentiment must mould the institutions the new State as it Pleases. The teal question for considerate men to decide ts, not whether this form or that is best, but whether by imposing forms on the new State re, nt to the majority you force it to establish 'S preference sul juently by revolu- tion, or let it choose its course naturally and quietly at first." The Union, discussing the unanimity with which the Democracy of Kansas sustain Gover- nor Walker, says : *: The tone of the Democratic press of Kansas» and the advices which have been received within a few days from leading pro-slavery men of the Territory, afford the most ample assurance that in the fg teeear of the convention we havea faithful reflection of the sentiments and wishes of the National Democracy of Kansas. We feel satistied that, if the true condition of affairs had deen known at an earlier day, the ae ear ssippi lutions adopted by the Georgia and Miss! Democratic State Conventions would never have been offered—if offered at all—in the shape which they now appear on the record, and that we should alxo rr been spared many a judg- ments, intemperate expressions, and unfounded conclusions which not a few of our Southern cotemporaries Lave fallen into through a want of correct information, or a misapprehension of the facts of the case."* Notieing the condition of the canvass in the district of Alabama represented by the Hon. Mr. Dowdell, (who is a candidate for re-elec- tion, and is opposed by Thos. H. Watts, Esq.- the candidate of the American party,) the Union pays Mr. D. many merited compliments. We trust there can be no question as to his re-elec- tion; for in all that makes a reliable and useful public man, he is essentially strong before the House, here. The same paper takes occa- sion to explain who L. Q. C. Lamar, Esq., is, he being the gentleman nominated by the Democracy to represent in the next Congress the district of Mississippi represented in the last by the Hon. Mr. Wright. He is a Georgian by birth, comparatively young, a nephew of Gen. M.B.H. Lamar, ex-President of Texas, and famed as one of the most talented and promising rising men in the State. PERSONAL. +++.

A stage coach, laden with passengers, has made the trip from Oroville, through the Sierra Nevada, to Honey Lake Valley, the western terminus of the Nationa Wagon Road, and has safely made the trip to and fro between Piacerville and Carson Val ey. ‘The energy and liberality displayed by those counties interested will probably ensure the con- struction of two or more zood wagon roads to in- tersect with the National road to Utah.

We presume that he will attend daily, as usual, at his office in the Executive Mansion. It is to be sincerely hoped that no one will in- trude business upon him at his retreat. The place he has selected is well calculated for his. temporary oceupancy and that of his family, and will insure him and them against the ef- fects of the malaria which always renders the Executive Mansion so much to be dreaded as a residence in summer and early in the fall. Carcnine Tavxper.—A Washington corres- pondent of the Cleveland (Ohio) Plaindealer walks into our local Democratic politicians “like a thousand of brick’’—saying : ‘* The seekers for office are still strongly repre- sented here, but for every one who comes from the States there are at least{to be offset by a dozen from the District of Columbia. Ohio is somewhat backward and modest in herdemands. The third great State in the Union has two heads of bureaus and some twenty-six clerkships in Washington. The District has over three hundred clerkships, besides important positions of a higher grade, yet | she is not satisfied, but demands a uction of the number for Ohio and other States, and that a few more be added to her own list. ‘To this end she has her little petty ward clubs and ward com- mittees. and her touchstone of Democracy to good and true men who have been placed here through the solicitations of the best Democrats in the country, and finds that they do not choose to break olf their allegiance to their States and vote with them, she lets loose her whole kennel of yelping curs to hunt them down and dog them out of office. No matter how hard you may have fought for the Democratic cause at home, they decide that if you vote there you can’t vote here. and if you don’t vote here you are not fit to hold office. “You must aid them in electing some mon- rel ticket, got up by a set of political mounte- Banks who never voted for a Democratic member of Congress or President in their lives, or your name is straightway blackened and handed in for removal. An Ohio Democratic clerk who has held office here for a few years, and who has never failed but once to go home and vote the Demo- cratic ticket at his own residence in his State since he has been here, has been summarily ar- raigned by some of these District gentry, his politics called in question and his place de- manded.”’ He then goes on to handle them with teeth and toe nails, individually. The fellow is evi- dently after office, whoever he may be, and is disgruntled because some District of Columbia Democrat has taken the trouble to show that in the late Presidential contest he put himself in position to play “pig or puppy”’ with equal ease—to appear to be Democrat or Republican as either party might win. Such contests are refreshing in this steaming weather, when, for the life of us, we can find little afloat to interest us—to say nothing of the task of finding some- thing to interest the Star's readers—without resorting to the trick of dressing up news items from other newspapers. which they have pre- viously seen in other journals, as editorials. As Ixp14y Covncit.—This morning, the Kan- sas-tribe delegation that arrived in Washington city a day or two since, uninvited by the Govern- ment, had their first interview or council with the Commissioner of Indian Affairs. at his office. A large crowd of curious persons attended in the room, for the natives were in their blankets, paints, and characteristic ornaments. They were attended by a few half-breeds, one of them having his half-breed wife and child along. The council lasted about half an hour, in the course of which the priveipal chief declared this visit to be but one of ceremony. He expressed his desire to have an interview with the Commis- sioner and President, whereat he may state the multiplicity of business that brought him and his children—as he styled his companions—to Washington. The Commissioner received them with great kindness, and informed them that he would endeavor to arrange for the interview to-morrow with the President they desired. Ere they left, the principal chief stated that they were without means to pay their board here, with a delicate hint that the Bureau should provide for them; and was answered that a clerk would be sent down to their quar- ters tothatend. We refrain from publishing the jaw-breaking names of the chiefs. The in- terpreter is Baptiste James. Lewis Papan and Moses Belmont and Adel Belmont and child accompanied them. Mrs. B. appears to bea very intelligent woman, and to have the man- agement of much business. Bosu.—The Washington correspondent of the New York Courierand Enquirer says: * Ttis said that $760,000 has been subscribed in the South for the equipment of a new expedition against Central America.”* Some one has run a “ deep set saw’ on this writer. It will be long ere men at the South with money to spare will invest it in any more such expeditions as that of Walker. All they have so invested up to this time have been dead losses—interest and principal; while the worse than foolish causes in which they invested it have turned out in many instances mere abor- tions. The South will hereafter be as slow to trust its cash in any such enterprises, as the burned steamship proprietors of New York city, who, by this time, we presume. compre- hend that in such matters honesty is the best policy. They have burned enormous holes in their pockets, out of which an aggregate of millions have slipped out of their possession— and right glad are we that men who speculate in the intended profits of murder. robbery, and arson, have been so punished; for the loss of their money is next to that of their lives, in the estimation of such persons. Tue Crors.—The newspapers are publishing a resume of the condition of the crops in all the States, originally appearing a few days since in the Journal of Commerce, the correct- ness of which strikes us as being somewhat doubtful, so far as the wheat is concerned. We form our conclusion in the premises from per- sonal observation on the journey early in June through Maryland, Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Michigan, Canada, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, which was the subject of our * Notes by the Way,”’ wherein the condition of the crops, as they appeared to us, was duly noted. While it is possible that the greater extent of land sown this year in wheat may make up for the very general pau- city of the crop on the line we travelled, we are | Very sure that so poor crops of a season we never before saw in all our travels. We fear that those who make business calculations and engagements on the strength of the views of the Jourual of Commerce on the subject, will burn their fingers. Virurerative Persona Asuse.— Some one, siguing himself ‘One whocan’t be fooled,” takes occasion to make that of himself, which, ac- cording to his xomme de plume, noone else can make of him, in the Ba/timdte Clipper of Satur- day last, wherein he abuses, villifies, maligns and vituperates George W. Riggs, Esq., most infamously. More sheer blackguardism we never before saw compressed in a single columa of a newspaper. To notice the slanders of so groveling and mendacious a writer in detail, would be giving them an importance they by no means deserve, and we mention them only by way of illustrating to what a depth of dirty degradation a portion of the press has arrived. when a newspaper conductor can be found who will print such things against such a gentleman as Geo. W. Riggs, Esq., of this city, to gratify his own political rancor and the petty malice of the anonymous writer of them. Tue Lanp Grants To Tae Arkansas Rai- noaps.—The Interior Department has effected ap adjustment of the Arkansas Railroad grant for'the Cairo and Fulton railroad, with the tain ‘trunk passing diagonally through the State, granted by the act of Feb. 9, 1853, and embracing one million and sixty-nine thousand and odd aetes. This is exclusive of the branch- es running from Little Rock to Memphis, and from Little Roek to Bort Smith—the one run- ning from the political centre—State capital— to the extreme eastern, and the other to the extreme western part of the State. This work has been performed in a manner reflecting great credit to the Department. _ The adjustment of the grants in favor of the State for the branch roads is in progress. Coprer.—Robt. W. Hamilton, Bsq., of Bay- field, Wisconsin, one of the editors of the Bay- field Mercury, this morning left at our office a specimen of the copper of that immediate re- gion, equal in richness and value to almost anything of the sort we ever beheld. It was dug up in the improvement of one of the streets of the town—Bayfield. Those curious in such matters may see it by calling at the Sar office counting-room. Mr. Hamilton’s journal, by the by, is a spirited one, always replete with western items of interest in the Atlantic coast country, and we cheerfully recommend it to our friends desiring to keep themselves posted with reference to the details of the progress of the Great West. Tue Lone Arricir.—We owe an apology to the Star's readers for the length of our leading editorial of yesterday. It was upon a subject that should interest deeply all patriotic per- sons, the discussion of which we do not feel at liberty to blink. In our position we have a duty to perform to society which we cannot in justice avoid; and prefer discharging it atonce to tinkering away upon dt. It is not our habit to inflict such essays often on the Star’s readers, who should by this time be well aware that when we do so, it is under a convic- tion that duty to them as deeply interested in the future of our country, alone prompts us to that course. Tue Lare Ex-Secretany MArcy.—We have been indebted to the New York Evening Post formany capital reminiscences of the late Wm. L. Marcy, though sincerely regretting that for years past—up to the time of his death—that journal was perhaps his most bitter newspaper enemy (rather than opponent) in the United States. The overwhelming strength of his char- acter in popular estimation, is aptly illustrated indeed, in the earnestness with which the Post thus secks to repair the injuries it essayed so persistently, for so long a period, to inflict on him. Navan Courts or Inquiry.—Before Court No. i, to-day the case of Ex-Lt. Dulany was continued principally upon documentary testi- mony. Bayard Smith, Erq., of this city, was, however, examined on behalf of the Govern- ment. Before Court No. 2, in the case of Command- er Sterrett, Dr. Taylor, Commodores Mayo and Mercer, and Lt. Morgan were examined in his behalf. Before Court No. 3, the case of Lieut. Rhind was continued, and the following gentlemen were examined on his behalf. Viz: Lieuts. Gwathney, Roney, Crosby, Wm. H. Parker, Corbin and Van Morgan. Tae Exriosion or A Roornpack.—Since the traders and others who brought into the settle- ment the story of the massacre of Col. Sumner’s command at Ash Hollow, acrossing of the South plat, a mail from Utah, passing over the same crossin, has arrived in Missouri. The party with it make no mention of the alleged catas- trophe whatever; which, in our judgment, com- pletely proves the story to be a roorback. Tae BAvance or tHe Finisusters.—The Navy Department to-day received despatches from Commodore Mervine and Capt. Montgom- ery concerning the filibusters not yet brought back to the United States. They number 359 in all, and are now at Aspinwall on board the Cyane and Roanoke. Most of them are of course Minvalids, wounded, &c., as were their compan- ions who have already been brought back to the United States. They were to be sent to Boston, Mass. Licut-Hovse Keerers A»pointen.— The Secretary of the Treasury has appointed J. P. Giesendaffer to be Keeper of the Light-house at Jones's Point, (near Alexandria,) Va., vice George L. Dexter, resigned; compensation $400 per annum. Also, John Collier, Keeper of the Little Cum- berland Island Light House, Ga., rice Wm. H. Spaulding, removed ; compensation $100 per annum. Approrxtep.—The President has appointed D. R. Eckles. Esq., of Indiana, to be Chief Justice of the United States Court for the Territory of Utah. Mr. Ecklesis a gentleman of much legal fame, and a man of high personal character and intellectual attainments; for all of which he is well known throughout the West. His selection is a capital one, indeed.

Caruisze, Pa., July 9, 1957. Editor of the Star—Feeling a need of recre. - tion from the labors and excitement of life in the capital city, on last Monday week I took my de- patture from amid the hum of political strife, where the struggling “‘outs’? and “ins”? are all viewed glike with jealous eye, and after sailing for some ten hours under a strong head of steam, 1 landed in this place. Most of my road lay along the banks of the Susquehanna, the scenery of some points of which is truly beautiful, the land appearing highly productive and well cultivated, especially after you cross the border line and en- ter the great agricultural State of Penosylvania. Carlisle is one of the oldest towns in the State, and is beautifully situated in the Cumberland valley, midway between two branches of the Al- leghanies, known as the Blue Ridge mountains. {t was a place of considerable note during the Revolution, General Washington having oceu- pied itas bis quarters for a short time, and it is but a couple of years since the old jail in which Major Andre was confined was torn down. Lib- erty poles were erected on its public squares, and many a severe skirmish took place beneath them, between its patriotic citizens and the B-itish : nd Tories who infested this region at that period. The town, however, though beautifully laid out, and ina healthy s{tuation, has increased but slowly in population, numbering, at this time, only some five thousand inhabitants, of which ise Of the le has lately added i Set Ma coetietcti which is ne a and water.

There is a United States Barracks located here, post has been under the command of Col. May, post is a very old one, having been first built by the British during the war of the Revolution, and since its occupancy by the Uni- ted States, has gained an enviable reputation as a shcool of practice, as was proven during the Mex- ican war, for which it furnished the gallant Ring- gold, the distinguished Captain Washington, and the lamented Ridgely, besides a host of others who bravely and effectively acted their part in the battles of that war. Dickinson College, an ancient institution of learning, is also situated here. The closing ex- ercises of the College year took place this week. They were of a highly interesting character, and were largely attended by the immense concourse of citizens and strangers who yearly welcome these rich literary treats. Overlooking these ex- hibitions of the minor classes, they commenced on Monday evening by the exhibition of the Belles Lettres Society, which was followed by that of the Union Philosophical Society on Tuesday even- ing. At the exhibitions of these rival societies, speeches of a high literary order were made, dis- playing talent, knowledge, and deep research. The gentleman who delivered the anniversary address of the Union Society, after viving one of the grandest pictures of America and its beauties ever painted in speech, went on to congratulate his fellow members ou their success, and said that one important evidence of the triumphs of their society was the elevation of one of its mem- bers, within the last year, to the Chief Magistra- cy of this great and glorious Republic, who in his youth had learned in this Society the value of that word “ union,” which was now to be the guiding star of his official action. On Wednesday the corner stone of Emory Chapel was laid with Masonic ceremonies. Sev- eral lodges of Masons and Odd Fellows froma distance, accompanied by bands of music, parti- cipated with the Carlisle lodges, thus swelling the number of spectators and making the scene more imposing. This church is to be under the control of the Methodist Episcopal Church of the eral smal! Houses,for terms which will yield the put pi pogeen eta zaNBT NG ment. a A wo. hort, Norther Liberties. Baltimore Conference, and is named in honor of Robert Emery, a man of great piety and learning who once adorned the Presidency of Dickinson College. In the evening an able and eloquent address was delivered before the alumni of the college, by Robert A. Lamburton, Esq., of Harrisburg. He severeiy censured modern reformers, reforms, and innovations, such as ‘“spiritualism,”’ « wo- man’s rights’? and ‘ pulpit politicians.” He handled Gen. Nicaragua Walker without gloves, and so clearly exposed the position of this filibus- ter, as to change completely the minds and feel- ings of many of his ardent sympathizers. He said that Walker had fled from the land to which | he had enticed so many thousands of our coun- trymen and entailed upon them disease, misery and death; had fled from the fearful monuments of bleaching bones on the plains of Nicaragua to hear, unheeded, the wailings of the widows he has caused, and the cries of the orphans he has robbed, while he is borne in triumph through our cities by an infatuated populace. ‘To-day, the Commencement exercises of the College came off, and the dense crowd of admir- ing spectators, notwithstanding the hot weather, showed the approbation with which the efforts of the graduates were received. Some of the ad- dresses were such as we never hear or class as schoolboy recitations; for many of them evinced ability and knowledge, as well as eloquence and argumentative powers, which would adorn older head. ‘The exercises conciuded highly gratifying to the crowds of visitors and citizens who wit- nessed them, after giving other proofs than those heretofore offered of the pelea | condition of an institution which has given the country some of its brightest ornaments, among whom two of her sons now stand conspicuous, the one as Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, the other as President of the mightiest of mighty nations.
