WASHINGTON CITY: FRIDAY ......cccseeeessseeeeeSUly 31, 1857. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Union, noticing the fact that the de- spatch (published in the Star on the day before yesterday) from Colonel Abercrombie. at Fort Snelling, of the 25th instant, announeing the consummation of a satisfactory arrangement with the Sioux of Minnesota Territory, dis- proves the correctness of the subsequent de- spateh from the same point coming through the agents of the Associated Press, take occasion to explain the arrangements of the Government, here, to meet the exigencies of the case, as fol- lows: ““As soon as intelligence reached this city of the hostile attitude assumed by the Sioux, the Secretary of the Interior, in conjunction with the Secretary of War, adopted the most prompt and what has proved to be the most efficient measures to t the threatened portions of the Territory and to reduce the Indians to obedience tothe laws of the United States. In less than one week after the receipt of the news advising the government that an Indian outbreak of the most alarmin cbaracter was anticipated by the frontier inbabi- tants of Minnesota, one thousand regular troops ‘were in the tield, em route for the scene of threat- ened hostilities. Too much credit ew be awarded to Secretaries Floyd and Theaphen for the energy, foresight, aad promptitude which they have displayed in their edforts to protect the people of Minnesota m further Indian out- Tages’? The same paper contains a card from Geo. P Stiles, John M. Hockaday, and P. K. Dotson, Esgqs., late U.S. Territorial officers in Utah, pro- nouncing false the statements of the Mormons casting imputations upon the integrity of the official transactions of Surveyor General Burr. The Intelligencer quotes an aceount of the basis of the treaty expected to be consummated between this Government and New Granad: shortly, published by “fon” in the Baltimore Suz, and demurs to it in carnest and strong terms. This basis is, that New Granada shall cede to the United States territorial jurisdiction over the small island of Tobago, in the harbor of Panama, now the property of Aspinwall & Co., of New York; in consideration of which the United States shall assume responsiblity to their citizens, fur the payment of the $400,000 which Ministers Bowlin and Morse were in- structed to claim of New Granada, as indem- nity due Americans on account of the never to be forgotten Panama riot. The Intelligencer sees neither propriety nor policy in the acquisition of an insignificant island in the bay of Panama, as “our Constitu- tion makes no provision for colonies, satrapies, or vice royalties, by which the jurisdiction of the metropolitan government may be parceled out and asserted in a form of nmdified sovor- eignty.’’ Considering that the title in fee to the few acres composing the island in question, is already the property of American citizen: the Intellizencer’s editor holds that $400,000 is @ very round sum to pay for terrisorial juris- diction over it only. The editor also considers that to pay $400.000 for that alone, should prove a lesson to future American diplomacy against the policy of making exorbitant demands for damages against other Governments in such cases, to be saddled on that of the United States by the treaties of cession wherein we assume to settle with our own claimants, encouraged to swell their demands as much as possible. in order to afford the opportunity of essaying im- posing requirements on our part of the Gov- ernments on the other side. On the whole, the Intelligencer seems decidedly of opinion that territorial acquisitions cost us far more than they come to. ————— 2-8 WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP Sometuine New tnper tae Sux.—A Balti- more correspondent thus describes a partizan pamphlet being circulated in that city concer: - ing the election riots in this city on the first Monday in June last. If it iz such a document as he describes it to be, it is certainly no won- der that those who got it up have taken due care not to circulate it here, where all know the utter unreliability of its statements. Such papers, 48 our correspondent justly intimates, can do no harm, as they cannot fail to disprove their own statements in the estimation of nine- tenths of those who read them : A docur Printed in very black type and entitled in large letters « litary Execution in Washington,” was Lande ¢ this morning bya piracher of the Gospel of “peace and good w loward men,”? witha request to read and ci Jate. I have read it, and have done something beside, which perhaps I was notexpected to do— I bave thought about it. It reads fairly, the statements seem to be made in a calm manner, it is well gotten up, and likely to produce the effect jutended. viz: to exasperate agains law-abidiny mien the feelings of anger and igotry, which one would think were already strong enough. Let us examine it calmly. It commences with a statement of the occurrences at the election, Which are lazucly substantiated by extracts from pa n papers, written during or immediately after the excitement of the day, and by voluntary affidavits of men who appear to be respectable; and I have no doubt they are. A preity strong document this; perhaps the only fault being that it proves too much Allowing the whole statement to be correct, ‘what are we to think of the authorities of the city, of the President of the United States, and of the officers of the marine corps? Simply this, that at a time when things were in the utmost quiet; when the eiection was progres a thom never progressed before; when, to the statement of the anonymous a hor, a few persons weve at the polls voting. a few others, re. spectable citizens, were mildly conversing in oups, on the probable result of the elec- ; a body of soldiers marched out from their Darracks, by the command of the President of the United States, and without Provocation. are or- dered to tire upon an unarmed and unoffending crowd of peaceable citizeus, by the ¢ i «nye pe » by the chief city Rather singular proceedings these. V, such were the circumstances’ by ail mene yt hang the President, the Mayor and the Marines. We forget, though, one circumstance, pistols are small things and may be hidden in one’s vest pocket—a cannon, fortunately, cannot be so con- cealed, and that these peacable citizens had a cannon pretty well loaded, and which they were prepared to fire is a fact too glaring to omit ¥s had possession of this, children twelve years of age, and surely no harm was intended he absurdity of this statement is self-evident men must have motives for their actions, and men unaceustomed to murder must be violently moved before they assassinate in cold blood. The document, as we xaid before, proves too much—it Souteet itself, there tx no need for argument Tue Caxvass IN CaLivorxia.—We have Te- liable letters from California by the laat steamer, concerning the State (political) canvass about being inaugurated there in the action of the spproaching Democratic State Convention. From them we gather that Ex-Senator John B. Weller, who is supported by the anti-Broderick Wing of the party, is certain of the Guberna- torial nomination by a majority of nearly four to one; and of subsequent election by, it may be, & wajerity of fifty thousand votes. In fact, the Democrats in this contest will sweep the State almost withoutopposition. This state of things is remarkable ; insomuch a3 the main opposition there, (or at least their friendson the Atlantic side) have been very confident of late that they are gaining Strength in that quarter of the Union. We allude to the Republican party leaders. ‘This state of things is remarkable also because there is, in California, perhaps, a larger num- ber of very disappointed seekers after Office under the present Administration, than in any Other State wherein the Administration had no more patronage. Experience teaches that this class of politicians never fail to essay more or less mischief to the party to which they be- Jong, when by any possible chance they may sueceed in so doing. That they are now all prepared to turn in manfully to secure the sue- cess of the Democratic nominees, is evidence to ‘us of the hopelessness of Demoeratic opposition to the National Administration in California, Fatber than of any radical change in the natu- But we refer above. Tae Commissionersmp or Patexts.—We have reason to believe that this post, which is to be made vacant on Tuesday next, by the resignation of Mr. Commissioner Mason, will not be filled for some time to come. There will be great difficulty in finding precisely the pro- per man for the position among the politicians of the country, not all of whom are competent to the proper discharge of the duties of the po- sition, requiring great legal learning in the branches of the law bearing on patent questions, a thorough acquaintance with the philosophy of mechanics and many other scientific attain- ments, as well as familiarity vith the details of the history of the American Patent Office and the current progress of invention abroad; and also individual character as irre proachable and unapproachable as that of the highest and the purest in the land. That is, for the discharge of the duties of thir responsible and arduous office to the entire satisfaction of the country. We shall, by no means, be surprised if, in the end, Mr. Shugert, the present chief clerk of the bureau, be promoted to the Commissionership, as the safest way of solving the dilemma of the Government in that connection; for it is very certain that, in the opinion of all who transact business with the office, he is regarded as pos- sessing rare qualifications for the position. Tur Gira River Country and Expepitioy. The following is an extract of a dispatch re- ceived a day or two since at the-War Depart- ment, from Col. Bonneville, third infantry U.S. A., in command of the Gila Expedition. Viz: “ The expedition is developing one of the most beautiful, fertile, and healthy regions of our country, in all places fluding evidences of a for- mer numerous people, more civilized, more in- dastrions, and, no doubt, more docile than the wandering Apache, who now desolates it. In some locations are found irrigating canals, ent ten feet wide into the sides of the mountains, conveying water for miles to irrigate valleys of the richest character, some of which are able to contain twenty thousand inhabitants. “Our efforts constantly at the heels of these Ap- aches forces them further west; crowding, as I learn, upon more western nations, who report their mountains inundated with new faces, who are forcing their way with rifle and revulver.’? A private letter from asubseriber to the Star, bearing date June 2d, ultimo, now with the ex- pedition, says : “We e just given our red brethren a tolera- bly rough handling, recovering the stolen sheep, killing six or seven, and taking nine prisoners Our party deserve f rat credit for their energy and perseverance, in the midst of embarrassing circumstances. Following over frightful canons, and the whole mountain jn one immense flame, hunting Indians, is no child's play in such a chaos.” Nava Covers or Ixquiry.—To-day, before Court No. 1, the following gentlemen were ex- amined in behalf of Mr. Dulany, whese case is still undér consideration : Surgeon Watson, U. 3. Navy, and the Hon. Jno. S. Pendleton, of Virginia. The case of Passed Midshipman Wm R. Mercer (dropped by the late Naval Retiring Board) was then taken up, and Commodores Vorhees and Mayo, Surgeon Fox, and Lieut. Brooke were examined in his behalf. In Court No. 2, the case of Lieut. H. N. Harrison still pending. Capt. Eazle and Com- mander Paine were examined on the part of the Government. Certain documentary evi- dence from the Department was also read. Court No. 3 met at the usual hour this morn- ing ; and Commander Long not being ready to submit his defence, they adjourned until to- morrow, when that will be done. VENERAL Lanp Orrice.—The last mail from California has brought to this office the follow- ing. Viz: Plat of the claim of M. G. Vallejo, contain- ing upwards of three acres, and situated in Sonoma City Plat of eight square leagues, lying on both sides of the Stanislaus river, confirmed to A. B. Thompson, containing 35,532 acres. Plat of the claim of the heirs of Stephen Smith, deceased, situated between the Estero Americano and the Estero de San Antonio, con- taining 26,759 acres. Sates or tag Decraware Inpian Trust Laxns.—The Indian Bureau have dispatehe* from the commissioner conducting those sales to the 22d inst. They commenced on the 15th, and so far had gone off satisfactorily. Thus far their proceeds were $114,582.41, and it Wag expected that ere closing the proceeds of the sales would reach half a million of dollars. Save or tae Wea Isvtax Trust Lanps.— According to advices received at the Indian Bureau to the 15th inst., the recent sales of the trust lands of the Weas, Kaskaskias, Peorias and Piankeshaws were concluded on the day before.

FaticvEs oF Pusiic Speaxtxe.—The Guber- natorial canvass of Tennessee has terminated, in consequence of the intense labor of speaking through the summer months—a labor which few persons can realize who have not been éxposed to it. The two candidates, in their card to the peo- pie, say jointly: “That they feel themselves physically unable, from the efiects of the severe labors in which, for the past two months, they have been engaged, to prosecute the canvass further, have mutually agreed to withdraw the balance of their appoint- ments. They both regret the necessity of this step, but the condition of each is such that they cannot, without the risk of their health, and pec- haps of their lives, continue the canvass. R.

We regret that necessity has compelled Mr. Wilson, the proprietor of the Pioneer Cotton Mill, to suspend operations for the piesent. The very high price of the raw material, when comn- pared with that of the manufactured article, caused the business to be a losing one, and brought about the necessity for the suspension, which, we learn, will be likely to continue for some two months at least.
