| SHINGTON CITY: : September 4, 1857. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Jate(/egencer, in publishing the Presi- dent's recent correspondence with the Connec- ticut clergymen, takes cecasion to chide the Union for styling the latter “ Reverend and impertinent intermeddlers,"’ and also to chide them for assuming with so much positiveness the correctness of their theory concerning Kan- sas affairs, and for their indisposition to make avy allowance whatever for the President’s honest difference of opinion from them. The Uxion, to-day, discusses “State rights and State dignities.”* <9 and City Bank of New York sus- jon yesterday afternoon. Its lia- bilities are small, and the notes are fully secured.

Curtis, of his position as one of the Judges of the Supreme Court of t United States, reached Washington this mort? ing. : News PROM THE oh ie eh, | artment has dispatches from Commander , the senior officer in command of the Pacifie Squadron, now at Panama, 1° the 16th ultime. Commodore Mervine satled on the $d of An- gust with the Independence for San Francisco, The Decatur (sloop-of-war) Commander That- cher, reached Panama on the Sthof August from San Juan del Sur, having on board twenty- five fillibusters brought from Nicaragua, in a destitute and desperate condition, mostly from their wounds. Twelve of them had been trans-- ferred to the John Adams, and five had been forwarded (gratuitously) to New Orleans, per the steamship John L. Stephens. The names of the twenty-five are as follows : Surgeons R. T. Royston and G. B. Bouton ; Major Dolan ; Capts. West and Rayburn; Pri- vates Cole, Burns, Boyle, Donaho, Dewett, Graham, Green, Clark, McCaJl, Cason, Madi- son, Fizzell, Goss, Amoroke, Langerford, Kipp, Sigimound, Ingraham and Forbes. The most important information in these dis- patches is Commander Thatcher's report of his interview with Gen. Mora concerning the al- leged foreivle detention of Americans on the Isthmus, by Costa Rica. This refers to the case of the onginvers, firc- men, &c., of the river and lake steamers, alleged to have been forced by the Costa Rican author- ities to work the above steamers without pay, and otherwise ill used. Mora denied the story from#beginning to end; insisting that all so em- ployed had agreed voluntarily to do the work and been paid according to agreement; that only one asked his promptly—the engineer of the Virgin steamer— 210,000. It is confidently expected that this fair will prove St.Louis tobe the agricultural and mechanical exchange of the Mississip, i valley. Sabre ii eer aaa al Senrots Arrray at Otn Porxt —On Monday Jast the steamer Coffee, chartered by the Mechan- teal Guards, of Norfolk, Va., left that port on an excursion, aud, from the low price of tickets, took a number of rowdies along.

F- Beale, the Superintendent of the expedition to construct the wagon road from Fort Defiance, dated El Paso, July 24th. Mr. B. writes in glowing terms of the success of the camel ex- periment. The War Departinent furnished him with some of those animals (only three of which were males) to he used as beasts of burden—he loaded them with 700 pounds each, of provender for the mules. They bore the journey across the plains—eating little but bushes, preferring to browse on them to grazing on the best grass— far better than the mules of the expedition, They suffered much less than the mules from the usual casualties of such a journey—sore backs, lame feet. &c. He conceives it far easier to manage a train of twenty camels than one of five mules, ex- plaining that the excellence of the temper of the former, their entire tractability, greater capacity for bearing burdens and going without water, and their preference for food on which any other animals would starve, make them valnable for transportation on the prairies. Every unshod beast of the expedition but the camels, reached El Paso lame, while not one of them was lamed in the Icast. On the whole, this report is of much import- ance, insomuch as it embraces the result of the first long and really practical business trial of the adaptability of the camel as a beast of bur- den on the plains of the Great West. Parsox BaowNow 1s A New CHaracter.— Parson Brownlow, so famous for never before having uttered a word of aught but abuse in his newspaper, of any Democrat, has at length relented, and actually approves an act of the Postmaster General, half promising to go the whole figure in the support of his administra- tion of postal affairs! We presume that Brown- low has showered as much of his so-character- istic dirty abuse upon the Postmaster General individually, as on any other man living, except bis ancient competitor, Andrew Johnson. To find him thus changing his tune concerning a Democrat holding so distinguished a position as Aaron V.

Tue Nesraska Wacox-roap Expepitios.— The Interior Department has received an inter- esting report from Mr. Sites, the superinten- dent of the expedition to construct the proposed wagon road from the Platte river to L'Eau qui Court, the second division of the work, the first having been reported on some time since. It conceives that an eligible route cannot be ob- tained from Agoway Creek to L’Eau qui Court, the country along that proposed line being very broken and much washed, and intersected with deep ravines and abrupt ridges. The Dacotah City route, however, proved available. The superintendent, after givinga minute account of its features of importance and interest, says: 2 ~The route from the Middle Row to the head of Agoway Valley, about twelve miles, was not entirely satisfactory to me; and J am confident, when we come to make a more critical examina- tion, we shall find a more direct and feasible route for the location of the roud. With this exception, from the character of the country, the compara, tively few bridges to construct, the feasibility of a good road without grading, and being almost direct, I cannot hesitate respectfully to recom- mend the location of the road. opee or near the route passed over from Nebraxka to Dacotah city.

Tae Rieat or Expatriation.—The Attor- ney ee & recent official opinion, thus lays ¢ law as to the right of a citizen of the United States to expatriate himself, re- nouncing hig allegiance to our Governmefit. The neral says : Ss “ There is nostatute or other law of the U. States, prevents either a native or nat@ral- ized citizen from severing his political connec- tion with Government, if he sees proper to, do-so, in ce, and for a pur, not dis rectly injurious the interests of There is no. mode Of renunciation prescri u i a opinion, if he emigrates, carries his 2 fe d effects with him, manifests a plain intention not to return, takes up his permanent residence abroad, and assumes the obligation of a subject toa foreign mayerament, this would imply a dis-. solution of his: jous relations with the United States; and I do not think we could or would afterwards claim from him oy of the duties ate citizen. Atall events, the fact of renunciation is to be established, like other facts for which there is no prescribed form of proof, by any evidence which will convince the judgment.’ Joun Tuoxpson.—The New York corres- pondent of the Charleston Courier explains in detail the circumstances of the pending prose- cution against this noted Wail street broker for fraud, as follows : ‘* As I predicted, John Thompson does not seem to get over his difficulties as easily as did his friend Jacob Little. Jacob is back at the Board of Brokers, speculating as freely as ever, while John is under arrest at the suit of the Metropoli- tan Bank. The Metropolitan Bank is the re- deemer of the bills of nearly all the Banks in this and of one or two other tes. A few Banks prefer to have Thompson act in that se pecity for them ; so he takes up all the bilis of his out of town Banks, which the Metropolitan and Ameri- can Exchange Banks happen to receive. The day he failed, Thompson received $12,500 of these bills from the Metropolitan and yave bis check for the amount due on the American Exchange. This check the American Exchange refused to certify. The Metropolitan then demanded of Mire Oe to make yood the check, or else return the bills. Ie could do neither; so the Bank says it looked very much like an attempt at, fraud, Thompson knowing he had no money inthe Bank against which he drew his check. “What gives adark coloring to Thompson's case, is that for other checks he gave out, he re- turned the valutes on which he exchanged for them. The difficulty at, best is a personal one. The Metropolitan Bank cut into the business of all the brokers of uncurrent money, and rage = son being the largest, it affected him most. Of course his feelings towa that institution are noue of the most kindly. The public.cannot but sympathize with the Bauk. .As long as the Banks in the country, which will have their bills circu- lated in the Gity, are sound and safe. the Metro- politan takes care ef them, while ‘Thompson or any of the other brokers can fail when they please, to affect any particular purpose which \they may desire.”?” < Tae Kanawas Bank or Vinerra.—Those who believe the story that the reason for dii- crediting this bank in New York was that it merely failed to make arrangements for the re- demption of its circulation in that city, are im- posed upon most egregiously. The truth is, its affairs are believed to be sadly mixed up with those of the bursted Ohio Life and Trust (specu- lating) Company, which, cre failing the other day, scattered cnormous quantities of that bank’s issues, more especially in Cincinnati, right and left. With men who have money to lose, this fact is reason enough, in all con- science, for refusing to take its notes just now, Tue Maxx Evection.—The following is a list of the Democratic nominees for the Senate, in the approaching Maine election: Cumberland —Joseph Howard, Hg, Chee Cc.

Appearances aro against a large exportation for the current quarter. Aw Apverse Decisiox.—We learn that the Attorney General has decided that the title to the property at the corner of St. Paul’s lane and Fayette street, offered by Mr. Andrew McLaughlin as a site for the proposed new ens- tom-house, court-rooms and post office building to be built in Baltimore, Md., is not such as will justify its purchase by the Government.

A large portion of the lost cable, he thinks, mi be recovered at a suiall cost.
