WASHINGTON CITY: SURGHAY <<... 50... October 6, 1857. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Unsow, in a very able article, sets forth the evils suspending banks inflict upon the community, in the way of depreciating the value of everything and cramping and black- mailing all classes in the community. The editor shows, with great force and perspicacity. that ‘‘the measure of relief,” as it has so far been practiced here, has proved aught but a benefit to the substantial interests of the Dis- triet of Columbia. He has no idea that the individual citizen who has nothing to do with the banks “‘is relieved” from the pressure of the times by finding all his property depreciated ten per centum in value through the action of the banks. The Intelligencer re-publishes Gen. Pillow's able and interesting rejoinder to Gen. Hitch- cock, for which we shall endeavor to make room to-morrow. It shows conclusively that the lat- ter is actuated in his statement by intense ha- tred of the former, and thus invalidates the string of accusations of which his reply was al- together composed. But, in addition to his able exposure of the motives of General Hiteh- cock, General Pillow certainlydisproves every substantial point that his antagonist has essayed to make against him. It iz, however, to be re- gretted that Gen. P. has permitted himself to be betrayed by the malignity which General Hitcheock manifested towards him, into showing temper in this able rejoinder, which will spoil its effect somewhat with thecasual reader. The truth is, every allegation against him made by Hitcheock was years ago, investigated by a court martial that pronounced them all un- founded, and thus ruined the standing of Gen. Hitcheock in the service. We always regarded his resignation to have been the result of his entire discomfture befure a jury of his brother officers in his persecution of Gen. Pillow, which rendered him perhaps the most odious man in the service, and thuscompelled him to abandon it ——— ee Fro Kax<as —The Quindaro Chindatan says that over 1.000 Missourians have entered the Kan- sas lands, between Quindaro and Weston. Well informed Missourians declare their object ina po- litical one, and that the evidence of a concert of action along the whole border is becoming appar- ent. No violence is apprehended {> From Peru we learn that Mr. Sallivan, H. B. M.'s charge d'affaires, died from the effect of the wound inflicted on him by the assassin on the lith ult., as recorded previously. No clue has as yet been received of the perpetrators of the crime, though a large reward has been effered for such information as wil! lead to their discovery and apprehensic Tus Maine State Farr —On Saturday the Maine State Fair closed its third exhibition by a trotting match for 2200 premium. The conditions of the race were best two in three, to all horses raised and always owned in Maine. The Premium was taken by Lady Burnham. Time— 245,244, and 2.46. A second purse. free to all horses, was taken in three st ht heats by Harry Walton.

The crews of most of the American vessels in port were down with the yellow fever, which also prevailed slightly in the city proper. The reduced duties on corn ceased on the 3Uth. The stock was lim- ited and the prices weak The slaver captured exst of Carenas was the American ship Mazeppa, saidto have 1,510 slaves on board. The stock of sugar at Havana was 95,000 boxes. AN oLp Exsmy on THe Marce.—The news from Central Amezica by the *Starof the West,” 38 of melancholy import. The cholera is raging in Guatemala and Salva- dor, with fearful fatality—and among the more illustrious of its victims are, the Americen Minis- ter, Hon. W. E. Venable; the wife of the Presi- dent of Guatemala, and Sr. San Martin, Ex-Pr ident of San Salvador. Several eminent physi- cians have likewise been carried off.

The recent Tehuantepec negotiations have re- sulted in the annulment of the Sloo grant for vio- lations of obligations imposed therein, and the bestowal upon the “ Louisiana Tehuantepec Company” the right of the transit. ‘The grant is exclusive for the period of sixty years, and dur- ing that time toal! intents and purposes pure and absolute, excepting only 15 per cent. of the net revenues Senator Benjamin and Mr. La Sere have been for some time in the Mgxican capital for the pur- pose of obtaining the grant in question, and in despite of the opposition of Mr. Soule, acting as the agent of Sloo, they were completely suecess- ful.

George M Wharton presided, and there was a pretty large attendance. Resolutions were oitered setting forth that the present financial ensbarrasements were stlinulated by improper expansion incidental to Danking upon an insecure foundation, and favor- ing the policy of a metalic currency alone ; at- tributing the present soundness of government af- fairs to its spegie transactions, and contending that the affairs of the State and city should be similarly administered, the treasury ofeach being disconnected from banks, that a legalization of the present suspension by the banks of specie pay- ments would violate principles of public and pri- vate morality. and that the Legislature should leave the banks to the operation of the existing Jaws; also ex pressing opposition to the issue of bills of a smaller denomination than at present. A voluntary set of resolutions were atte: d to be offered, but were overruled by the parties in power. One of these asked the bank directors to resuine specie payments or render a statement of their accounts to the people in thirty days, and contained a pledge to vote for no man for the com- Ang Legislature who is not opposed to the presen; system of banking. The refusal to have these Tesolutions read caused much disturbance General Cadwalader, G.M. Wharton and others spoke, expressing the opinions that the bank ex. pansion would end in a bankruptcy, and tha Sheir contractions lose the workshops. (7 The workmen of Messrs. Chickering & Co., —— makers, Boston, held a meeting on Saturday, and voted that they were able and willing to go without their weekly pay until mat- Jers eased up. WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. Frox Nicanagva.—Our advices by the Star of the West, from Nicaragua, are up to the 15th of August, when that country was still at peace externally and internally. No party had. risen up to dispute the Government with its Dual Provisional Presidency. That fact isas anom- aly in the history of Nicaragua, which ever before. since it became a separate nation or Power, was so long without fhternal dissen- tions—civil war. Costa Rica is evidently at work to produce an outbreak there, designing, upon some pretence or other, we judge, coolly to take possession of the whole country, and galculating upon the success of her machinations in this country to induce the Government of the United States still longer to delay diplomatic intercourse with Nicaragua, that, being without the moral coun- tenance of the great nation to whom she has appealed, Nicaragua, weak untodeath from the exbaustion occasioned by our filibusters, may quietly fall into her hands, made strong by British capital, to the particular end of eventu- ally absorbing her, and thus getting the prize— the Nicaraguan Isthmus—as much under Eng- lish control as though it were a portion of Can- ada or English India. England's game is a deep one in this matter, and is being played silently, but with consum- mite adroitness. All who know much of the internal condition of the Central American States, must be well aware that. unsustained by England, the expenses of the late war and her current comparatively enormous military expenses would long since have eaten up every available dollar in Costa Rica. Yet she has so far exhibited no lack of means whatever. They did net come from this country; that’s plain. They came directly from the English and Eng- land, who will be more than repaid for them if the plan of inducing the United States to refrain frow strengthening Nicaragua by an acknowl- edgementiof its Governmentand the formation of atreaty with hersuccecds to the desired point of compelling her (Nicaragua) to resign herself— transit route and all—into the hands of Costa Rica, from sheer exhaustion, and without a struggle. Tue Inpian War.—We confeas to very little knowledge of our own upon the details of thig subject, and so decline to weary the Star's readers with our individual speoulations upon it; nevertheless, it is our duty to keep them posted with reference to its—the war’s—pro- gress. Our faith in the views of the Journa! of Commerce are stronger than in those of any other American journal, because its conductors have the means of acquiring more accurate in- formation upon such matters than any other American editors we wot of, and are, withal, gentlemen of exceedingly well-balanced minds. We read them, therefore, on foreign questions, with more confidence than we read any other of our cotemporaries. Their last exposition of the state and prospects of the war in question is as follows: Tue News rrom Ixpta.—The news from the seat of war in India, brougit by the Jura, ifaccu- rate in its count, is far the most favorable for arms that has been received since the k. The defeat of Nena Sabib’s army y velock*s comparatively small force; the capture of the rebel fs army; the demo- lition of his stronghold at Bithoor ; the desertion under the influence of panic produced by repeat- ed defeats, of a part of his forces; the self-de- struction of the miscreant and his famil y, doubt- less to escape the vengeance of the British sol- diers, whom he saw he could not long evade; and the relief of the feeble and suffering garrison of Lucknow, are the most important features of the news b: is arrival, and if authentic, justify in some assure the ex — of a successful movement ayainst Delhi, whither General Have- lock was said to be marching with the remnant of his victorious band Reinforcements were ar riving almost daily from the British Colonies. The force destined for service in China, the troops which were employed in Persia, and the detach. ments from the Cape of Good Hope, probably reached India soon after the departure of the mail, if not before it, and under the command of Sir Colin Campbell. whose arrival is announced and whose well-known military skill and achievements in the Crimea, would naturally in- spire the confidence of the men and officers un- der Lis orders—would cause an important change in the aspect of aitairs before Detht The relief of Lucknow. with the dispersion of the Oude rebels, is of incaleulable value to the British cause; because not only does it cireum- scribe the theatre of operations, and facilitate a concentration of the British forces for the attack on Delhi, but it is also calculated, as in the case of Nena Sahib’s cavalry and infantry, who threw dowa their arms and fed in every direction, to discourage the rebels, to increase their supersti- tious dread of the ++ Feringhees,”’ and shake their coutidence in the possibility of their triumph So far as we have vet see Nena Sabib was the most prominent and infil ial leader of the reb- els, and as the pretended successor of the last Peishwa of the Mabrattas, it may be inferred that he was acting in concert with the King of Delhi, the nominal head of the revolt, and of the Mo. bammedan cause. His total overthrow, notwith- standing the tmmense superiority of his force, and his atter hopelessness of success as shown by his destruction of himself and bis family, will hot fail to discourage the rest of the rebels, and, if it does not canse desertion in their ranks, will probably deter others from joining them.’ The the ‘Britisn army, nm daily increasing strength o and the activity and determination displayed by the Government, will tend to increase this feel- ing; and if once the rebels cease to hope and com mence to fear, those already compromised may fight with the energy of desperation, conscious of the terrible punishment which they deserve and are sure to receive, but those who have not yet identified themselves wiih the movement—the county population in particular—will hesitate before they risk their lives and property on so dangerous a venture. ‘The Panjaub, and the country immediately ad- Jacent to Delhi, are represented fectly tran- quil; the Bombay and Madrs were still toval, according to the last me place —Tinbalpore—two regiments of 1 infantry and one of cavalry, under native officers, are said to have attacked aud routed a body of mutineers ; and in other places where a rebellious spirit showed itself, the offenders were speedily pun- ished and tranquillity restored This isthe bight side of the picture. There is, however, a daik side also, but of compa: tively little importance. Signs of disturt we were manifested at Bandlecund,a province south- west of Oude; a plot had been discovered at He- wares; there was a ramor tbat the rebels had taken Agra: th untinied at two other ts had murdered their commanding offi- dthe accounts of the awful massacre of wupore by Nena Sahib are confirmed in all their hideous details ‘There is still a vast amount of arduous work and suffering before the British troops before they erush the sevolt and restore the supremacy of their Sovereign iu Northwestern Bengal, and they will require every man that can be sent to reinforce them, to perfoin the Herculean task imposed upon them. But if the last accounts are true; if the successes of Havelock are as signal as esented, the prospect is far nit was feared that the British aprlled to evacuate Oude, raise the hi, and retire to Allahabad, until re- inforcements should arrive from England. they are oy 5 ighter t Aw Act or Sratesmansuir.—The Intelli- geucer of yesterday mentioned, with laudatory comments, the fact that the Secretary of the Interior has recently invested near a million of dollars in State stocks, for the benefit of vari- ous Indian tribes whose money rests in the hands of the Government, in trust. We knew some time since that it was the purpose of the Interior Department o to dispose of such funds that were in its hands, and, until the purchases were made, did not feel at liberty to mention the fact, least, by so doing, we might make the Department its own rival in the market. Or, in other words, might induce holders of the stocks desired to be purchased to increa-e their prices under the impulse of this unexpected demand for them. Most of the amount thus invested has been drawn directly from the Treasury, and placed in the hands of parties (from whom the purchases were made) directly interested in circulating specie in these strin- gent times. We need hardly add, that in these trausaetions the Secretary of the Interior has done much towards affording to the community at large @ cousiderable measure of relief from the stringency of the money market that now exists Pretic Surveys 1x Ongcox.—Returns of the subdivisional surveys in Oregon have been made to the General Land Office, situate in township 37, south of range 4, west of the Wil- liamette meridian; also of the exterior or town- ship lines, in township 37, south range, 3, 4, 5 and 6 west; township 38, south range, 3 west, traversed by Applegate creek, the tributary of Rogue river, and along which passes the road from Jacksonville, Oregon, to Crescent city, California. The features of this region of the country appear to be very hilly, resulting in considerable hardships at the hands of the deputy surveyors in running, measuring and marking the lines of the public surveys. Navan Courts or Ivquiny.—Before Court No. 1, to-day, the case of Commander Jackson was concluded by the examination of Dr. Eg bert and Commodore Stringham, both of whom were called for the applicant. The case of ox- Passed Midshipman John Posey Hall (dropped) was then taken up, and Commodores Mayo and Stringham were examined on his behalf ere the Star went to press. Before Court No. 2 to-day the case of L'eut. Fitzgerald is still being tried. Lt. George A. Stevens, Lt. Mitchell, Commander :Gauzevort, and Dr. Tyler (of Georgetown, D. C.) have been examined on his behalf since the last is- sue of tho Star. ‘ Before Court No. 3 the case of Commander Platt was concluded to-day, by the examin tion of Captain Pope and Commodore String- ham in his behalf. The Court then adjourned. Pesiic Surveys 1s Wasuiveton Terri- Tory.—The subdivisional survey of townsh'p 14, north of range 3, west of the Williamette meridian, in Washington Territory, has been returned to the General Land Office by the Surveyor General at Olympia, W. T. The quality of the lands appear, from the field notes of the survey to be adapted for agricultural purposes, abounding in fir and cedar, and the bottom lands along Chikalis river, which dis- charges itsclfin Gray Harbor, are of the first uality. i Puntic Surveys ix Nenraska.—The re- turns of public surveys in Nebraska have been received at the General Land Office, showing the subdivisional lines of townships 2. 3 and 4, north of rarges 5 and 6, east of the 6th princi- pal meridian, embracing 121,907 acres of land, through which Big Blue river courses, and which lands are situated immediately north of the Ottoes” reservation, and lie within the South Platte District. Tue Wasuincton Gas Company's Stock.— We hear; incidentally, that the current prese- ure at the North has induced some holders of this stock to send some of it here for sule, which is an extraordinary event; insomuch as it very rarely finds its way into the market. At$li2j in Washington city bank notes, or $110 for specie—at which rates we hear it can be had— we know just now of no better opportunity fora safe and profitable investment. Marie Corps Aprointurxts.—Capt. D. J. Sutherland, the Assistant Quartermaster of the Marine Corps, has been appointed Quarter master, vice Lindsay, deceased. Capt. Wm. A. T. Maddox, of the corps, has been appointed Assistant Quartermaster, to fill the vacancy caused by the promotion of Capt. Sutherland. Tue Georgta Evection.—We have a private dispatch from Savannah to-day representing the vote in that city to have been—for Congress, Bartow, (K. N.,) 1,002; Seward, (Dem.,) 912. This indicates Seward’s re-election «beyond question, we believe. Ward has been elected to the State Senate from the Savannah distric!. A Misrrint.—In yesterday's issue the types made us represent the tétgl' elevation to be overcome in the construction of a ship canat across the Isthmus of Darien, according to the report of examining civil engineers, as being “fifty feet,”’ rather than “ five hundred feet” as we designed saying. Rewoven.—We heard on the avenue to-day, that Mr. 8. D. Mills, of Maryland, a second class ($1,400 per annum) clerk in the Patent Office, has been removed. Tue Mixerav Bank at Cumnertann, Mp.— A private despatch reached us yesterday after- noon, stating that this bunk had assigned its effects to a trustee. The impression prevails here that its failure is a bad one.

Franklin, U.S. A, are at Willards’ A Corpse Witt A LIrk-PRESERVER OX.—On Saturday, about noon, the Star of the West passed the dead bedy of a man floating upon the surface, supported by a life-preserver. It was off the capes of Virginia, and the sea was rough at the time. It was supposed to be one of the passen- gets of the Central America Ia As stated in yesterday's Star, the Bremen bark Laura arrived at New York yesterday morn- ing with three of the Central America’s passengers picked up at sea by the British brig Mary. All the rescued agree that it is hardly possible that any more could have been saved than have been heard from. They saw several persons the sec- ond day dashed about on pieces of wreck, but they all finally perished. They look upoi their own rescue as almost miraculous. Mr. Grant was one of the persons rescued from the steamer Arc- tic, and thinks he has had about experience enough in shipwreck: ImpRoveD Fretixng in New Yorx.—A dis- Patch from New York last night states that there has been an improved feeling all day, and a very strong impression prevails that the crisis has passed. John A. Stevens, Exq., President of the Bank of Commerce, replied to the letter of Nathan Appleton, published in the Boston Ad- vertiser, of Saturday, as follows : “It is true New York bas great responsibility. Its magnitude is oppressive, has been deeply felt and carefully weighed for a long time.
