EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON CITY: THURSDAY. -July 16, 1857. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Intelligencer rejoices at the alleged set- tlement of all the squabbles of the different interests concerned in the Tehuantepec Isthmus route speculations, by and through the media- tion of the Government of the United States, and urges “ Uncle Sam’’ to buy out the rival claimants, stock and fiuke, and construct a railroad over that isthmus, by which two thou- sand miles of the present traveled distance be- tween New Orleans and San Francisco will be saved, and ten days’ traveling time. The edi- tors go even further—recommending that this scheme be resorted to, instead of what they re- gerd as the chimera of constructing a railroad two thousand miles long over our own uninhab- ited and desert wastes. To carry out sucha scheme will necessarily involve a new treaty of purchase with Mexico, by which we will acquire a fine slice of her isthmus territory. we imagine. This is the age of progress, indeed. wherein our respected neighbors of the Jatelligencer even, prove to be bitten with the mania for territorial acquisitions. The Uvron rejoices at the returning reason of the portion of the Southern Democracy who have of late been vehemently excited concern- ing the Kansas question. For our part we have not entertained the idea that there could be any considerable dem- | ceratic defection at the South from the princi- ple of the Kansas-Nebraska act. even though | it might be that in the matter of the character | of the institutions of Kansas, that might not ac- complish all the South desires. Ninety-nine in every hundred Southern men who have com- plained against the policy of the Administra- tion in connection with Kansas affairs, did so enly because not well informed upon all the facts involved—not with the disposition to break with the Democratic party. Three weeks ago, the truth of the matter—concerning what had actually been done of late in the Territory and its political condition—was known to very few in the Atlantic States, and we, too, were as in- | dignant as one could be against Gov. Walker. Subsequent information has entirely removed our misapprehensions, as the Star's readers are aware. and we are glad to have it in our power to state that throughout the South it is having | We repeat. there | the same effect everywhere. is to be no differences, to speak of, in the ranks of the Southern Democracy. over the propriety of hereafter supporting the principle of the Kansas-Nebraska act; that_being the sum and eubstance of the existing ‘‘muss’’ in the South | concerning Kansas affairs ee Graxp Triat of Mowine Macuines—The Manny Machine Victortous.—A dispatch from Syracuse. N.Y... on the Uth instant, states that the trial of mowers came off at three o'clock, | preceded by speeches and a grand procession, at the county fair grounds. Upwards of twenty machines were entered, and the display at sta:t- ing was very fine. All did well, but it was soon apparent that the real contest was between the Manny, with Wood's improvement, and the Ketchum machines The struggie was close, the Manny coming in slightly ahead. This result was bailed with cheers by the multitude, in which the friends of the Ketchum machine heartily joined.

Nicaraccs —We are to-day in receipt of the private advices from Nicaragua, the speedy ar- rival of which we anticipated yesterday, that completely set at rest all the stories concerning alleged contentions of factions in that country for its future government, which, we repeat again, are simply the work of parties in the in- terest of the filibusters on the one hand, and those in the interest of the steamship specula- torson the other. Immediately after the choice of Martinez to be the Provisional President, we explained that that act was the work of the whole nation, through its military and political chiefs, in a Congress called by Rivas—the Leon- ists as well as the Chammorists. He was chosen only to serve until a more authentic and regu- lar government could be inaugurated. Already, aceording to our letters just received, the nation have taken measures by and with the consent. and under the auspices of both Martinez and Rivas (or, in other words, of the Chammorists and Leonists) to hold an election for a presi- dent, and a candidate has been agreed on be- tween them, not identified with either party, who will receive the support of both, and will be elected without opposition. This unanimity is the result of the late sufferings of the country at the hands of the filibusters, doubtless. Appreciating the immense national import- ance (to us) of the prompt reopening of the Nicaragua transit route, we rejoice at the entire unity of purpose existing among the people of icaragua, as affording the Government of the United States an opportunity at once to secure | that object, by resuming diplomatic relations with her; at the same time placing our national interests there upon the desired basis of per- petual security of the use of the transit route, through the guarantees of a new treaty which will assure to this Government the right to pro- tect any transit company whatever, provided it isan American one, in the enjoyment of their franchises, sv far as that may be necessary to keep the route open and safe, past peradventure. We trust and believe that under no circum- stances will the United States meddle in the squabbles of the different steamship interests in that quarter. The questior, which company shall run the route, is one to be decided right- fally by Nicaragua alone; ard by the time she may have made ter election, it is sincerely to be hoped that, throusha new treaty, the United States will stand ready and authorized to in- sure to the American public the use of the route for all time, under the auspices of any American transit company with whom Nicaragua may contract.

Wuat ne MADE By Finisustering.—A young gentleman of talents, fine education and capital address, full of the idea of spreading the wings of the American Eagle over all creation, and all that sort of thing, left this city nearly two years ago to join Walker in Nicaragua, While the latter pretended to have “depart- ments,’’ our hero was industriously engaged in the management of much of the real bus Ss | of one of them; for he is competent to do al- most anything that one of his age—twenty-two or three—might undertake. A relative received the following letter from him by the last steain- ship arrival from Central America, he being one of those saved from the tender mercies of the Central Americans. by Capt. Davis's phi- lanthropic interference in their behalf, which gave Walker his opportunity to absquatulate : i U.S. Steamer Roanoke, d Aspinwall, July 415575 My Dear —: I have barely time to write you that Pam still alive, bullets. fevers, &e > to the cont nding.

He went to Cen- tral America under the influence of a settled “Fourth-of-July”’ fever, of which, judging from the tone of his letter, he had, happily. recovered on the 4thjust past; when it was written. He sought our advice ere setting out for Nicaragua, and we assured him that he had better break brick-bats at a dollar a day, around the Public Buildings here, than go to Central America all for the sake of the glory of the proud bird—that American eagle which has so manifestly spoiled his beauty and tattered the fine clothes he so delighted in, rather than crowned him with the longest feathers of its outspreading pinions. The result, as may be drawn from his letter, justifies the soundness of our scouted advice. We shall be glad to welcome him home a wiser, if a sadder man. Ovr Revations wita New GranApa.—Aa few days ago we mentioned thatit was believed in diplomatic circles here that the Congress of New‘Granada would authorize the Executive of that country to clothe its Minister at Wash- ington, Gen. Herran, with full powers for the settlement of the main outstanding question with the United States, x lack of which had oper- ated to prevent that so desirable result. The correctness of impression of ours was subsequent- ly denied in some of the newspapers. Yesterday, we took occasion to publish an extract from the New York Express, coming by a subsequent arrival, saying that it was understood on the isthmus that the desired authority had been granted. To-day, we take great pleasure in adding that we have every reason to believe that our Government has received positive in- formation of that so desirable action on the part of the New Granadian Government. Placing confidence in this fact, we regard the path for a full, final and speedy settlement of the pending question between the two Governments as having been cleared. This is a just subject of general congratulation, not only here, but in New Grenada, whose real interests have of late become deeply involved with those of the United States. Tae Great Mesiciran Excursiox—The Councils of various Western cities on the line of the great railroad route to the West from Baltimore, recently opened as a through route, who are now on the way to Baltimore at the invitation of that city, are to visit Washington on Tuesday next. we learn. It is appropriate that they be received and entertained by our fellow-citizens with proper courtesy and hos- pitality. To that end, we hear incidentally, there will be a public meeting. probably at the City Hall sometime to-morrow, which we trust will be attended by all interested in our city’s future. It behooves Washington to do its best to eneourage travel on such a route as this, which will bring the voyaging werld directly from the Far West to our own door. We know no better way of doing so than by thus aiding Baltimore in her efforts to bring it into general favor. Nava Corrts or Ixquiry.—To-day. before Court No. 1, in the case of Ex-Lieut. F. H. Ste- phens, Lts. Maffitt and Van Morgan, and Capt. Rogers were examined on his behalf. Before Court No. 2, in the case of Captain Sterrett, Lts.
