EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON CITY: THURSDAY.... July 23, 1857. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Union argues that the current attempt at treason in Kansas is the cunning scheme of te Republican party leaders, in order to con- jure up an excitement among their followers in <ertain Northern States where elections are soon to come off. The Inte/licencer, in acalm and able article: reviews the condition of things in Kansas. The editor, in the course of his remarks, takes oc- casion to commend the policy pursued by Gov. Walker, and to show with great clearness thet the current efforts of the town of Lawrence to set itself above law, is naked and unmistakea- bie rebellion against not only the authority of the territorial legislature, but also that of Con- gress, and the Executive branch of the General Government. We trust that the Zntedligencer's article may be re-published throughout the non- slaveholding States, where it cannot fail to do much good in the way of checking any propen- sity to sustain with public opinion the mad con- duct of the Abolitionists in the Territory, now being worked up to the perpetration of open acts of treason by appeals from the New York Tribune and more or less sympathizing jour- nals. ———o+e-______ Arcnpisuor HvucHEs axnp THE New Yorx ‘Times.—The New York papers publish a sharp letter from Archbishop Hughes, which that gen- tleman deems necessary as a ‘ refutation of ama- dJicious article published in the New York Times of last Saturday.’’ The letter opens witha refer- ence to a previous attack made upon him by acor- Tespondent of the Times, who wrote over the sig- nature of **Equitas.’? The Archbfshop demanded the name of the author of the communication, and Mr. Raymond, editor of the Times, stated the article reached him ‘accompanied by a private note in the same handwriting, signed by Dr. Mc- Elroy of St. Mary’s Church, Boston, who avowed himself theauthor.’’ Dr. McElroy, however, dis- avowed the authorship, and the note turned out to be a forgery. The Archbishop now assumes that the forger was in the Times office, and is the author of the editorial article he now replies to.

The question that seems to engross public attention there just now is the importation of coolies, and the immense mortality and other evils attendant thereupon. ‘The effect appears to have been to discourage coolies from coming to the West Indies. No such disinclination prevail- ed with respect to the French Islands. The emi- gration agent at Madras having promised certain coolies a passage back to India, after five years’ industrial residence tn British Guinea, seemingly in excess of his instruction, the Governor had published a decree confirming the agent's prom- ise. a Tue Disaster at Tus Fitme Housz—We had a telegraphic despatch yesterday mentioning the death of two persons at the Flume House, at the White Mountains. The Boston Traveler of last evening says : By the 1 p. m. train to-day. the widow of Smith, with the body of deceased, reached this city. By passengers in this train we learn the following facts in regard to the disaster: The lightning struck a flagstaff erected in front of the house, on the 4th July last, descended the pole until it reached the wire of a bell, and thence entered the house. Mr. Smith was sitting in the portico when he was struck and killed. Mr. landon was writing at his desk. A child near him was stunned and slightly injured, as were also a number of other boarders in the vicinity of the persons killed. Se ee FURTHER FROM Kansas —Kansas advices re- ceived at St. Louis state that a municipal ticket was elected in Lawrence on the 13th of July, when Mr. Blood was elected mayor. Marius J Barrett had been nominated for Congress. The convention which nomi!nated him was very large, and its proceedings were characterized by the ut- most unanimity and enthusiasm. The Topeka constitution of State Government was unanimous- ly sustained, and it will be submitted to the peo- ple at the 2 election. The city government of Lawrence had not yet passed any act or done any business. 6 IA Railroad Convention is to be held at Buckhannon, Upshur county, Virginia, on the 5th of August next, to take into consideration the policy and feasibility of extending the Manassas Gap Railroad tothe Ohioriver De! ites have been appointed to attend the Convention from Hampshire.

Tne Arprestice System.—For some time past we have taken occasion quietly to inform ourself as thoroughly as possible concerning the movements of our great rival in-commerce, and her instruments (wherein American affairs are concerned) France and Spain, with reference to her very last conceived scheme to compass her ends against slavery in the United States. We mean ‘‘the apprentice system,” by and through which she evidently aims to obtain for herself all the industrial and commercial advantages of African slavery. and at the same time to strike a blow at the phase in which it exists in this country, which shal! in the end demolish it here, bringing upon our great national interests inveived with it, the ruin that has resulted to her industrial interests in the West Indies from her act of abolishing it there, as it existed but a few years ago. That her intrigues in this connection can pos- sibly succeed better than her efforts to build up in India a cotton-producing interest that would tival ours, is utterly impossible. Neverthe- less, they are of importancein more ways than one, and, if persevered in, cannot fail to lead to an eventual war with this country ; as, to per- mit them to triumph, will be to surrender with- out a struggle the key to the unexampled pros- perity that has marked the history of the peo- ple of the United States from Maine to Oregon. That prosperity—or, in other words, that so much more rapid progress in the development of our resources and the accumulation by our people, individually, of wealth, than hers—is based on our unrivaled production of cotton, tice, and tobacco, which form the basis of our export trade ; which, in turn, affords to us, from abroad, the pecuniary means through which our population in all sections of the Union are en- abled to get * fore-handed.”’ We may not detain the reader with a chap- ter on political economy by way of expleining in detail how the cotton, tobacco and rice. or the production of the slave labor of the United States, procure directly and indircetly for the whole people their imported goods, and also directly or indirectly furnish employment for the mass of our shipping, and for the hundreds of thousands at the North whose labor fills mil- lions of mouths there with their daily bread; for the subject is thoroughly understood by all who are well-read in commercial affairs. To permit England to carry out successfully a policy aimed to strike down the basis of our national prosperity, as above briefly explained, will not be consented to ‘by any party or inter- est in this country, North or South, except the craziest Abolitionism; more especially when, to do so, she must resort to what she has herself proclaimed to be piracy in a treaty with us, and has, up to this time, treated as piracy—the slave trade. These last efforts ot hers are also of striking importance, as involving, under existing cir- cumstances, a signal admission that without African slave labor in some way or other, the products of the West Indies—sugar, coffee, to- bacco, rice, &c., cannot be successfully raised. This admission is being made, not only in the current intrigues of England upon this subject, but in the daily publications of the leading English prints The London Times has assumed the cham- pionship of the scheme, and we accordingly quote its admission on the subject as follows: ‘We remarked on a recent occasion—and our opinions were echoed in the arguments employed by the deputation—that it must necessaril dif- ficult to extinguish a supply where no other pro- vision is made for a strong and recognized de- mand. Europe requires sugar, coffee, and rice. ‘The West Indies can send us these commodities, but to do so they must have labor. Such labor was formerly provided by imports of slaves from Afciea, but this traftic we have striven to abolish sfully at some points, unsuccessfully at As lonz, however, as the supply of Labor is considered identical with the supply of slaves it is clear that theslave trade will struggle for ex- istence. Planters will not let their estates go out of cultivation without an etfort ; but, if theycould be enabled to calculate on the labor they need in any other shape, the work of suppression might be ogee accomplished . ~-As things stand, it is slave labor or nothing ; and it was to the substitution of some alternative more agreeable and promising than this that the proposal of the deputation tended. In a few words, the suggestion was to this effect—that the slave trade should be abolished through the abo- lition of slavery itself, and that slavery should he abolished by the employment of free labor ob- tained from the same markets. Recognize at once the wants of tropical agriculturists, and the capacity and aptitude of the blacks; establish emigration agencies in Africa. provide suitable vessels for the passage, make voluntary contracts, see to proper faculties of return, get the services of the African on fair conditions, and so drive slavery out of the field altogether by putting an end to the exigencies which maintain it—such was the proposal of the Se Pee and, though we are not insensible to the difficulties in the way, we think it contains the germs of sound and suc- cessful policy.’? All sensible persons must scout the idea that savage African labor can be aught else, practi- cally, than slave labor, it matters not under what pretence it may be procured—imported. No argument from our penis required to satisfy any one who knows anything of the system of work that must be followed to produce the sta- ples mentioned above successfully, of the char- acteristics of imported African savages, as dis- played in plantation life in this hemisphere, and of those who will work them in the West Indies. can dream for an instant that however imported, once on a West India plantation, they will be “to all intents and purposes’ slaves, and nothing but slaves. We call the American reader's attention to the broad admission of the Times that the end designed to be accomplished by this new scheme is the destruction of the system of African slave- ry now existing in this country, Brazil and Cuba; the right to seek to do which she does not draw from her (England's) slave trade treaty with us, the only convention under which she has the slightest legal right to interfere directly or indirectly with the future of the institution be- yond her own dominions. Just here we may not pause to comment on the impudent and infamous, no less than dan- gerous assumption of right on her part to strike down our great national commercial interests by an indirect blow ; by such a blow as she does not pretend she has a right to strike di- reetly. It will, however, naturally and speed- ily attract the attention of the American pub- lic and will be indignantly repelled, from Maine to California. Our purpose, to-day, is simply to point out the fact that the admission is broadly made that to produce the staples of the West Indies, African slave labor must be relied on, and that only ; all others of the many expedicnts England has resorted ta to compass other profitable production, having signally failed. Now, this admission embraces a signal triumph for our own so-much-abused system of African slave labor, in proclaiming as it does that for the supply of the necessary wants of the world, it must be maintained in fact, if not in name. To-morrow we shall pursue this theme, la- boring to expose the intrigues of England with France and Spain, on this subject; and then, or subsequently, the consequences of their suo- cess. Taz Nava, Covets or Inquiny.—When these Courts first went into operation, there was great complaint on the part of some of the offi- cers on account of the practice adopted by the late Secretary of the Navy, of not bringing any case before the Court himself, but leaving the Parties to do this, if they desired, according to the provisions of the act of Congress. The effect of this practice was, that each officer came be- fore the Court with application to be restored, madeout a prima facie case of fitness, and then it was for the Government to meet this case, if it bad the power. It was this course of pro- ceeding of which certain retired officers com- plained, when it was really advantageous to them ; in proof of which, as we hear, when, re- cently, to put an end te all such complaints, the Judge Advocate offered to agree to reverse the course of proceeding, the complaining officers saw their mistake, and refused to accept the offer; admitting, at length, the propriety and legality of the course prescribed by Secretary Dobbin. Hists to Corresroxpexts.—In common with all othernewspapers, the Star is frequently indebted to friends for correspondestial favors, many of which create pother in our office almost indescribable. A dozen times wehave thought of lecturing those who thus favor us upon the art of writing for the press, in which, so far as length of time of service is concerned. we may fairly claim to be an expert. But we find in a late number of the New York Trisune a brief chapter on the subject, So appropos as that we republish it entire for the information of all, and the benefit of those especially who see fit occasionally to favor us with communications : ‘“* Writing for the Press—that is, for the public —has become so common, that some general rules of obvious propa with regard to it should be generally understood. ‘There are circumstances under which any one may write, irrespective of all considerations of Whoever witnesses a tornado, an earth- powder-mill explosion, a railroad acci- lent, steamboat conflagration, or any kindred in- cident, does us a signal favor by writing us an account of it on the instant, and forwarding it by the readiest conveyance. If he has no paper but an old letter, and onlya dull pencil to write with, so be it; and if he cannot make his verbs agree with their nominatives in number and person, we are very glad to take them ina state of disagree- ment. Let us have the essential facts at the ear- liest moment, even though it should require hours to decipher and civilize the manuscript, even outnumbering the moments devoted to its com- position. It may be written on both sides and then crossed, though we pray Bree that it should not be; but, if it be all legible, we shall gladly undertake to decipher it. But when one sits down deliberately to set the Press or the Public right on some question of public or private interest, the case is bravely altered. In such case, we feel insulted by an in- timation that the author wrote in great haste, and will thank or mzaciously pouttlt us to revise his grammar and spelling. W hat right has he to im- pese upon us this labor? Does he suppose his own time of so much greater consequence, or his leisure so much more limited, than ours? Does he imagine communications such a rarity with us that we are glad to welcome an rule Prone tion, and it lick patients into shape ? she fancy that he confers a favor on us by sending something that will serve to fillupacofumn? In either case, he is grievously in error. We beg all writers for our columns but those who send us news to take the following plain rules to heart: 1. Write legibly, with fittle interlineation, and on one side of the paper only. I. If you do not understand the rules of Eng lish grammar, or know how to spell according to some dictionary, you should postpone writing for the press until you shall have learned. Our gen- eral standard of orthography is Webster's dic- tionary, which seems to conform more nearly to the genius of the English language than any other. Johnson and Walker were never able to constrain scholars to write critick, politicks, &c.; and the uw in honour, labour, splendour, &c., was always superfluous and unjustified by the deriva- tion of this class of words. As to such blunders as cancelled, levelling, traveller, &c., we hold them the result of sheer thoughtlessness, which an hour's impartial consideration would have corrected at any time. Dr. Webster did not en- tirely avoid mistakes, but no rival lexicographer approaches hii in logical perception and general accuracy. We wish you would spel! as he does when you write for The Tribune; but we only insist on conformity to some recognized authority. Ill. Try to be direct and concise, remembering that we aie every day compelled, by sheer lack of room, to postpone or reject much that we would gladly publish, and that a communication cover- ing less than two foolscap puges, stands four chances of appearing where one of thrice that length stands ney any chance atall. Sink all prefaces and go at the heart of the matter forth- with. Above all, if your impulse to write is some rsonal grief or fancied misrepresentation, make it brief as possible. If you copy a paragraph or so from our columns with the hope of inducing us to print it over again, be very sure that we shall cut this out to save room. Iu short, be short. IV. Understand that we are more than willing to be instructed, counseled, admonished, rebuked by our readers or others, provided this be done with due respect to chirogtaphy, brevity, direct- ness, orthography and grammar. Otherwise, the chances of that very much good advice is wasted onus for want of being read. Critican Notes.—Oh, Horace Greeley, while you are so keen-sighted to detect the bad gram- mar and bad taste of the schoolmasters in New York, pray spare a glance at yourown. Your literary critic writes as follows : ‘* Putting aside all moral considerations, it is certain that Central African travelers whose con- sciences would allow them to become renegades to Christianity, like Gen, Bem’s and Guyon’s did, would fare much better than uncompromising Christians.” That, we mustinform you, is worse gram- mar and worse taste than poor Mr. Hazletine’s. * Like Gen. Bem’s and Guyon’s did.’ Horror! And one of your political editors is a great sinner also in the same way. Thug, in an arti- cle on the 2Ist, on Lord Napier and Mr. Win- throp, we notice the following beauties : “Perfectly unlimited extent..’ Tautology and bad taste. “Utterly reticent as to speech making.” Worse and worse as tautology and bad taste. * Imbibation."’ Not an English word, nor a Latin one; nor a possible one in either lan- guage. “ There was a dead-set made upon him.’ Bad grammar and vulgarisin. “ Mathematical succedaneums.” and bad grammar. “Tidbits of compliments flowed.’ Tidbits cannot flow. They can rw (if they have mag- gots in them.) “ Reeruited his stock,”’ &c., ‘‘ since he show- ered the whole of it,’ &c. Nonsense. If the whole is gone, it could not be recruited. A new stock might be obtained. “To know the ugly question adjusted.” Bad grammar. “Courter of that ilk.’ An absurd and nonsensical application of the Scottish addition of place. ‘Take heart, Mr. Hazletine. Bad grammar is not confined to the schoolinasters, at least of New York. Cou. Joux C. Hays.—A letter from this city, published in the New York Herald of yester- day, represents this gentleman as having been removed from the post of Surveyor General of California, because he made contracts for more surveys than the appropriation to that end will pay for. This is a wistake ; Col. Hays has not been removed, but transferred to the Surveyor Gen- eralship of Utah—a position of great import- ance and responsibility, for which, under exist. ing circumstances, he is better fitted than any other gentleman now connected with the public lands department. It is true that he had di- rected more surveys to be made than the funds to that end at the command of the Government will prove sufficient to pay for, which, though an indiscretion, is by no means (under the cir- cumstances attending the administration of the public lands department in California) a crime; and is not so regarded by the Govern- ment here, as is manifest in his transfer to the position named above. So popular is Col. Hays, as a public officery that when it became known that the Gov- ernment were desirous to place the important Surveyor Generalship of Utah in his charge, all the Californians in Washington united in a pe- tition to the President, we hear, to retain him in their State. In the proper trasaction of the business, the desire of the people of no section or State to retain a particular officer among them should be acceded to, if he can be more appropriately employed elsewhere ; and we are glad to perceive that in this case such has been the decision of President Buchanan. Nonsense A Laxp Orrick Dectstox.—The Commis- sioner of the General Land Office has ruled that the'land funds applicable to the Iowa railroad grant of May 15, 1855, at the termini of the roads, will be ascertained on the following prin- ciple. Viz: A line to be drawn at the termi- nus, at right angles with the general course of the road, adjusting the lateral six and fifteen miles limits according to the lines of the pub- lic surveys, and restricting the selectigns to lands within the State, as indicated by the red lines designated on the diagrams Ist, 2d, 3d and 4th, connected with the said roads. AppitionAL Troors ror Minxgsora.—We have reason to believe that this morning it was definitely determined to reinforce the troops now at Forts Ridgley and Snelling—the nearest military posts to the threatened Sioux outbreak —with four companies of U.S. troops; making not less than eight, in all, that will garrison them for the time being, and operate from them if circumstances require it. Gen. Scott was probably directed to-day to designate which troops shall be sent thither, that being the function of his office. It is to be presumed that he will select those nearest at hand. P. S.—There are two companies of the Tenth Infantry at the two posts named above. that would have moved to join the Utah expedition but for the occurrence of pressing necessity for their temporary presence there. Itis probable that they wi'l remain there for some time lon- ger. Ifso, there will be ten companies of the United States Troops in all at hand to operate against the Sioux if necessary. RESIGNED, APPOINTED, TRANSFERRED, &c. Dr. R. J. Powell, of North Carolina, has been appointed to a $1,200 per annum (first class) clerkship in the General Land Office. Also, Mr Geo. B. Simpson, of Oregon. Both these appointments are made under the act of 1855. Mr. S. Albertis, of Virginia, has been trans- ferred from his first class clerkship under the same list, to be a first clerk on the regular roll of the same bureau. Mr. W. C. Worthington, of Mississippi, has also been appointed to a first class (31,200 per annum) temporary clerkship in the General Land Office. Messrs. J. L. Catheart, of Indiana, William Clyde, do., and A. F. Whittlesey, have recently resigned clerkships in the same bureau, the first mentioned, one of $1,600 per annum, and the others, of $1,200 per annum. Postar Statistics.—The following is the re- sult ascertained by the examination, adjust- ment, analysis, and registry by the Office of the Auditor of the Treasury for the Post Office De- partment, of the quarterly returns of Postmas- ters for the quarter ending March 3Ist, 1857: Debits. 367 735 16 20 Lett Ne st i Hinoluments Balance due Postmiasters........

No business was to-day transacted before Court No. 2, owing to the fact that none is just now ready to be taken up. To-morrow, at 1 p. m., the Hon. Reverdy Johnson will read the defence in the case of Lieut. Kilty. The absence of required witnesses in the case of Commander A. K. Long, compelled the Court No. 3 to adjourn to-day without the transaction of business. Taz Navy Derartwent.—A Washington letter in the New York JJerald—published as per telegraph—says : ©The proceedings of these courts (Naval Courts of Inquiry) necessarily devolve a heavy amount of extra labor on the Navy Department, but Col. Charles W. Welsh, the efficient chief clerk, by energy, industry and system, seems to have no difficulty in despatching it all.
