EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON CITY: MONDAY 4......---seeeee-- August 10, 1857. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS The Intelligencer says that the relations of the Government of the United States with all the world are now remarkably tranquil; and anticipates that though the final settlement of the outstanding question with New Granada may be protracted for a considerable time, it will eventually be happily adjusted. ‘Spanish diplomacy,”’ it adds, ‘“‘always requires time, but however formal, it has ever been distinguished by honor and good faith.”’ The Union contains an elaborate, able, and interesting article upon the state of British In- dia; and mentions that the Hon. T. L. Harris, of Illinois, is rapidly recovering from his recent so severe attack of the hemorrhage of the Tangs. The same paper publishes an article from the Georgia Telegraph, intimating that the nomi- nal Democratic Convention that nominated another over the head of the Hon. J. L. Sew- ard, to represent the first district of that State in Congress, was a bogus affair. From all we hear on the subject, such is our decided conviction also. Under such circum- stances, it is to be hoped that Mr. S. may tri- umph. ———__—_-s-+e-+ {> The American Association for the advance- ment of Science will this year hold ther meetings in the dominions of Queen Victoria, beginning the session on the 12th inst., at Montreal, where great preparations are now making for their reception. ete SS Swi i> At the election which took place in North Carolina, the people were required to vote upon @ proposition to amend the Constitution of the State so as to allow all legalized voters for mem- bers of the House of Commons to vote likewise for State Senators. This is the measure popu- larly termed “ free suffrage,’’ which has been under discussion in the State for several years past. It received the sanction of both branches of the Legislature, and, from the aspect of the returns so far received, has probably been ap- Proved by a large majority of the people. Tur Bravery Basy.—The Cunningham farce still occupies the attention of the New York au- thorities. Mr. Stafford, counsel for the accused, has submitted to Justice Davison his points on a motion to bail. The counsel holds that the cir- cumstances of the case, as shown by the prelimi- nary affidavits, obviously indicate that no object can exist for any attempt to escape from trial on the part of the prisoner, and claims that she shontd therefore be admitted to bail in a just and reasonable but not excessiveamount. The points ‘were submitted to the magistrate at a late hour on Friday night. Not being able to give them that attention which he supposed the interest of the ease demanded, he determined to let the matter lay over until to-day. At 3 o'clock this afternoon, Justice Davison will decide either to admit Mrs. Cunningham to bail or to send her to prison forth- with Mrs. Cunningham continues to be much grieved at the inbeman treatment alleged to have been receiv She wept much on Saturday, exclaim ‘They've zot Harvey's dear little pet of a ghter, and will not bring her back.” Fortress Mo Va —The followin » OLv Point Comrort, a list of the officers now stationed at the above post > adjutant; compa: tillery, Capt.

And such must ever be the case, until men become more or less than human. Our passions were all given to us for useful purposes, when under the restraint of reason; but anger and revenge in protracted contests always exceed the bounds of reason and of justice, and no um- pire, however wise or just, can at once satisfy the demands of either party. Such is the char- acter of the controversy that has been waxing hotter and hotter for an age, between the North and South. Impartial and firm of purpose as the present administration is, and winning, as it does daily, “golden opinions’ from the calm, moderate and conservative men of all parties, it yet finds itself between two fires. Its steady, impartial, and firm course, looking neither to the North nor the South, but to the whole country, gives offence to the ultraists and extremists of either section. This is just as it should be. After so long a quarrel the extreme men in each section must have worked themselves into the wrong, or else they are more or less than human be- ings; and, therefore, if the Administration gave entire satisfaction to either, it would beconcla- sive evidence of its want of wisdom, firmness, and impartiality. The general approval by the country, North and South, of the Administration, isnot more flattering than this double fire to which it is ex- posed. That strengthens the position of the Ad- ministration, by satisfying the calm and judi- cious men of each section that assaults pro- voked from such opposite quarters must result from treading the middle line of duty. Thus it is. in the moral as in the physical world, that opposing forces neutralize each other, and but strengthen and sustain the position of some mighty column in the moral or the physical world against which they are brought to bear. If this Administration continues to proceed as it has begun, future ages will view it with ad- miration, towering, like some grand obeKsk, amidst the mists of time, long after the sandg of oblivion have covered the opposing forces at its base. eounty officers, and of the absence of particu- lar cause for the existence in their State of in- tense excitement concerning the slavery ques- tion, and, further, of the recent nomination of ® comparatively stropg American party ticket we shall by no means be surprised if the con test terminates as they anticipate. Thechances are certainly with them just now. Licur-Hovse Keerers Appointep.—The Secretary of the Treasury has appointed the following light-house keepers. Viz: At Ump- qua, Oregon, Wm. E. Lewis, ($600 per annum.) Bear Island, Me., Wm. Moore, ($350 per an- num) vice Caleb L. Gold, removed. Petit Menan, Me., Henry Tracy ($500 per annum) vice John P. Small removed; and at the same light-house, as assistants (at $250 per annum) Edward Leighton and David C. Cothe- rell, vice Darius Fickett and Alfred Moore re- moved. At Genesee, New York, Lorenzo D. Wood, assistant ($250 per annum) vice Samuel Phil- lips removed. Mixxesota Inp1an Arpairs.—A letter has been received from Major Sherman, dated Fort Ridgely, M.T.. July 30. He had just arrived with his battery of Light Artillery from the Yellow Medicine, and states that his unexpect- ed appearance there struck terror to the Indi- ans, and probably saved the Sioux agency. This, in the absence of other official despatches, confirms the telegraphic advices of the 25th ul- timo, stating that all is quiet there now. Tue Evectiors.— KENTUCKY. LovisvitLe, Aug. 8.—In the 3d Congressional district, the result of the election is still undeter- mined. A majority is claimed for W., L. Under- wood, Am. In the 4th district, Albert G. Talbot, Dem.., is elected. The majority for John W. Stevenson, Demo- cratic nominee for Congress in the Covington district, is between four and five thousand over Mr. Rankin, his American-party competitor. Two years ago, the Americans elected their Congressman by 500 majority over a capable Democrat, Mr. Harris. MISSOURI. Sr. Louis, Aug. 8.—Fifty counties in this State give Rollins, American candidate for Governor, over 4,700 majority. His gain is over 4,000 on Mr. Fillmore’s vote. Messrs. Richardson, Scott and Walton are largely ahead for supreme judges. A private dispatch reached us from St. Louis a few moments before going to press, from which we draw the inference that the well-posted Dem- ocrats in that city entertain slight fears of the defeat of Stewart, their candidate for Governor, though the thorough combination of the opposi- tion against him cannot fail greatly to reduce the Democratic majority of the State. TENNESSEE. NasHviL_g, Aug. 8.—The returns of the recent election held in this State indicate the success of seven or eight Democrats, and two orthree Amer- icans to Congress. Harris’ majority for Governor will exceed 10,000 votes. The election of F.K. Zollikoffer of the Sth, Ready of the Sth, and Etheridge of the 9th (Americans) is doubtful. The State Legislature will be Democratic in both branches. NORTH CAROLINA. PETERsBURG, Aug. 9.—But few returns from North Carolina have been received—only those of two aera Pesci <8 districts, the Ist ‘and 6th. In the Ist, it was thought Mr. Smith, the Ameri- can, was elected over Shaw, Democrat. In the 6th, the returns favor the election of Mr. Scales, Democrat, over Puryear, American. * The chances are, we think from the returns as far as received, that Shaw (Democrat) is de- feated. He gains in Halifax 104, and loses 27 in Northampton and 40 in Hertford, his own county. He cannot triumph with such a ratio of gains and losses. We have many reports from the other contes- ted district—Puryear’s—the sixth. Thus far, Navan Orricers ResigNep Ann Trans- Ferrep.—Third Assistant Engineer Granville Toucey Pierce has resigned. Lieut. R. B. Lowry has been detached from the United States receiving ship North Caro- lina, at New York. and ordered to the United States steamer Michigan, on the Northern Lakes, and Lieut. John E.

Our decided belief is that he has beaten Puryear, and that the Dem- ocrats have gained the district. Gilmer’s majority in Guilford county is only 1,100. Latest.—At 12 M to-day, we received, direct from North Carolina, the following returns, from the First Congressional District, in which we have every reason to place confidence : for 120’s, and 92 for 160’s and 80's.

New York, N.Y Philadelphia, Pa. Baltimore, Md. These figures show aclear gain of 451 votes in eleven counties, as compared with the vote of 1855, when the American party carried the district by 346 majority. The two remaining counties will increase the Democratic majority. So Shaw is undoubtedly elected. In the 6th district, Schales, Democrat, is re- ported as elected over Puryear, American.

We are very sure that the Sar’s readers will hail her re-appear- ance in our print with unfeigned delight. for no writer of the day for any American journal wields a sprightlier or more entertaining pen, or is more gifted with good taste, quickness of apprehension, xaviete and keenness of powers of observation— the essentials for successful newspaper writing in her sphere of it.

Yesterday, we seated ourselves, towards sunset, on the stone steps in front of the officers’ quar- ters, waiting for a bundle of newspapers that had come by the eastern mail. After receiving them, we tore open the envelopes, slowly, for thouyh anxious to read the news, we were watching the clouds gathering round the stars and stripes, that tloated above the round tower of the Fort.
