EVENING ST ASHINGTON CITY: SATURDAY ... «October 17, 1857. THE WEEKLY STAR of this day's date contains the history (which has attracted so much attention) of Walker's career in Nicaragua, prepared for the Star by «‘oene who knows."’ The News, Literary and other departments are remarkably complete this week. Price—Single numbers 3 cents, or $1.25 per year. — eee SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS The Intelligencer regrets to observe that seme of its cotemporaries are endeavoring to find, in the financial distress and ruin which are now spreading throughout the land, a source of sectional gratification in the alleged security of the Southern States from the disas- ters which have overtaken Northern trade and industry. Among the hardships of the crisis the Intel- ligencer mentions that which has befallen “an eld and well established firm, in our own neighborhood, and of which the business honor, always untarnished, had become a heredita- ment (more precious than wealth) from father to son, but which, compelled now to yield for the first time to the pressure, has been able to rescue nothing from the wreck save that which money cannot enhance nor poverty depreciate, the mens sihe conscia rect.” The Union continues its able series of arti- eles upon Banks and Banking Se From Kansas.—Kansas advices to the 13th have been received at St. Louis. Both parties ‘were stilt claiming to be victorious in the recent election. Gov. Walker defends the voting of the soldiers on the ground that being in the territory six months makes them citizens. There are noof- ficial returns. TuE Goons or THE StramER NorFoux. —The Norfolk Day Book states that a part of the hull and some eight thousand dollars’ worth of the goods of the Norfolk had washed ashore. The goods were sold in the different districts. From 3 to 60 per cent. salvage was allowed on the gross amount of sales. U7” Speculators in sugar, who have Tecently met with sudden reverses in their profession, must have been driven to their wit’s end in order to procure places where the sweet article might be stowed snugly away“for future use. At the present time there are hundreds of hogsheads of the article stowed in and about a stable, situated at Reed street and Jefferson avenue, Philadel- phia. A New Woxp.—The iast English journals all contain a new word, which will doubtless come into immediate use on both sides of the Atlantic In speaking of atelegraphic dispatch they call it atelegram. But this is net a term of English coinage ; it was used by some of our country co- temporaries a year or two ago, the Syracuse Jour- nal, if we mistake not, having invented it. it has a rather queer look, at first; but it is a very convenient term, and it will soon become familiar to theeye No Exraa Sxssio The banks of New York have concluded the: getalong without the in_ tervention of the Legisiature.

Donnelly to be hung at Mon- mouth Jail, on the Sth of January next, at three o'clock, p. m., for the murder of Albert S. Moses. He received the sentence with great firmness. Being asked the usual question, before sentence passed, he delivered a speech concluding as fol- lows: “And { now declare that I am innocent of the bleod of this young man, and am not afraid to meet my God, or Albert S. Moses; and if what I bave uttered is not trne, may my tongue cleave to the rocf of my th Se ae Sseniovs Rawroap Acc!pent —The mail train onthe Central Railroad was thrown from the track west of Syracuse, N. Y., on Thursday evening, in consequence of a piece of the road being washed awzy. The whole train, consisting of abaggage car, mail car, and four passenger cars. were thrown down an embankment twenty feet deep and ai! shattered to fragments. There ‘were slaty passengers in the cars, of whoma Miss Brown, of Teronto, was drowned. Mr. Bron- son, of New Britain, Conn., was badly injured and has since died. Twenty other passengers ‘were injured, six seriously. The mail car and mail bags, excepting one, were burnt, the car having taken tire from the furnace of the lucomo- tive A Bxroxez Cuatceo witu Fxavp.—James O’Conner, banker and broker, of the firm of O’Conner Bros., of Pittsburg, was arrested, on Wednerday last, on the charge of obtaining the sum of $155,000 from the Merchants and Manufac- turers’ Bank, of Pittsburg, by frand. A prelim- inary hearing tock place and the accused gave bail in $200,000 for further hearing before Judge Hampton. He was immediately after arrested on a charge of conspiracy with Wilson Blackeney, late a book-keeper of the bank, in obtaining $310,- 000 from the same bank, upon which charge he also gave bail. Thealiegation is that Mr. O’Con- ner overdrew his amount to the extent of $310,000, and that the book-keeper concealed the fact from the Directors. ———— i> On Thursday three young girls, named An- na Maria Jackson, alias Yankee, aged 14. Win- fred Marpby,aged 16, and Hannah Leary, aged 14, ‘were arrested in Philad+lphia, by officer James Conway, and taken before Alderman Enen, on charge of larceny. It appears that these girls, Who wereengaged in vending matches, went iato the store of Mr. James Proctor, and found him asieep. They then, it is alleged. stole two five dollar notes. When Mr. P. woke up he found them there, and asked them what they wanted, when they used some very indecent language, too gross for publication. They were also charged with prowling about the streets for improper and Vicious purposes. The whole party were sent to the House of Refuge. * Extensions Asxup VeaLtTuy Bestox Hovsrs —Mr. Edmonds, of the Pacific Mills, ~pubdlishes a card asking for a renewal of the obli- gations of the corporation for six months aftet maturity, under which arrangement, he says, no eseditor can lose by them, as their property is ample, and.their mills can be kept in operat Messrs Little, Alden & Co. are the selling agents of the Pacific Mills, and have not su; and Will not if the Pacific Mills can obtain the exten- sion asked for.

A Proposep Corr-ricut Treaty.—It is in- timated in. the Washington correspondence of distant newspapers, that this Government is about to enter into an interpational eopy-right treaty with England. Wedoubt the fact, be- cause it would be difficult to arrange any such convention, the result of which would not be injurious to Be general intorests of this coun- try. Treaties are made for the benefit of the community at large. Not for that of any small class of the community at the expense of the great mass of their fellow-citizens. 7 In this case, the injurious effects of enactment of a copy-right law by Congress, as the result of the formation of a copy-right treaty with Britain, are Positive and palpable. For every American work for which there is a demand in England there are fifty English works for which there is a demand in the United States ; and for every copy of a work written by an American, sold in Great Britain, there are two hundred copies of works written by Eng- lishmen sold in the United States. These will doubtless be unpalatable facts to the mass of our readers. They are neverthe- less true, however, and should be reflected on ere the enactment of a copy-right law by which every American reader of current English works shall hereafter be taxed for the benefit of the English author, when, without the enact- ment of such a law, it is certain that the Amer- ican reader may obtain the work without pay- ingany such tax. Some of ourcotemporaries will scold us for want of esprit du corps in refusing to advocate “ protection’’ for those who, like ourself, live on the popular demand for the emanations of the brain. In this case, however, we have a higher duty to perform than a duty even to our own class in society. That is, to American society at large. We are for keeping good books cheap. For keeping the laws of the United States in that connection so that our fellow-citizens of all degrees may have the ad- vantage of the republication of all foreign works worth republishing in this country, at as low prices as posible. We would not quarrel with American authors who desire to be able to copy-right their works abroad; but we would not tax the American reading public sixpence to enable the former to accomplish that object. Tux Usiox.—The men who make the objec- tion that the existence of slavery in a region unfits it for the purposes of white labor, taunt the South with the fact that there are only three hundred thousand slaveholders in the whole South. Thus, we see, there are more than five millions of non-slaveholders living in slave- holding States. If we recollect rightly, the last census, too, discloses the fact that there are dou- ble as many persons from the North who have chosen those States as their residences, in pref- erence to non-slaveholding States, as there are slaveholders in the Union. Again: large portions of Delaware, Maryland, Tennessee. Kentucky and Missouri, are practi- cally non-slaveholding. Such would be the case in any northern territory, and northerners set- tling in such sections would be no more affected by slavery than the northern border States. They are affected byit, but beneficially affected. They find the bordering slave States excellent and extensive markets for their merchandise- manufactures, mules, hogs and other produc- tions. The South is the great market for the North, as the North is for the South. Practi- cal men understand this, and are annually ex- pending millions to open main lines of commu- nication between the sections. The closer you bring the two forms of society together, the bet- ter markets they afford for each other; and they closest when both exist in the same State. But this is not close enough. Thousands of the most adventurous northerners annually om- igrate into the very thick of slavery, as teach- ers, merchants, lawyers, doctors, clergymen and mechanics; and some of them are among our most useful and enterprising citizens.. We would like to see this.immigration continue and increase. It would knit the Union more closely together; for those who visit cither section very generally return cured of all sectional preju- dice. It would not continue, however, a day under Republican party ascendancy. If even now, while an immense party at the North is engaged in deadly hostility to the South, endeavoring. many of them, to excite ser- vile insurreetion,—if even now, northerners find the South a pleasant and a profitable resi- dence, how many more would come if Abolition- ism would but cease its wicked machinations. As many from the South go North for business or for pléasure as come from the North tothe South. This union and the intercourse is pleas ant, profitable and natural, afid we regret the prevalence of the doctrines of Abolitionisut, which contain the seeds of its dissolution. We bave shown conclusively that the admis- sion of slavery will not operate to the exclusion of non-slaveholders, whether they come from North or South. It remains to consider, the effects of siavery extension on the resident citizens of non- slaveholding States. Sere the advantages are still more manifest. They will not have their scruples, their tastes, or their consciences affected by being brought into juxtaposition with slavery, and yet will enjoy the benefits of purchasing slave products at cheaper rates, eelling their own at dearer rates, and obtaining a more extended market. At present there are more than enough slaves on the comparatively unproductive lands of the Atlantic cozs’;—dif- fuse these slaves over the West and Southwest, and, without increasing the number of slaves at all, the amount produced by them may be dou- bled This will cheapen slave products, which the North needs, and increase the market for northern products; for the purchases of the South will only be limited by her ability to buy, if Abolitionism will but let her alone. Could Abolitiouism succeed in blotting out ne- gro slavery, how fatal would it be to the inter- ests of a large portion of their ownsection? She may effect the same thing by provoking retal- iatory measures, and driving the South to car- rying on her own commerce and her own man- ufactories. The present and past teach that intercourse between the sections has been and is mutually and equally beneficial, or it would not have existed. Either section can live with- out the other, but non-intercourse would affect injuriously each region, and soon lead to dis- union. After all, the certainty is, that if slavery ex- tend, its extension will only be permanent where it is profitable, useful and natural, and, of consequence, advantageous to all sections. Tae Crasn ix Wate Steeet.—The New York News gives a graphic description of the seene in Wall street on Tuesday last, when the “run”’ was being made that forced eighteen of her banks to suspend before the close of busi- ness hours, and the rest unanimously to resolve ““not to pay specie over their counters on the next morning,’’—that being the phraseology in which they promulged the fact that they had “gone the way of all flesh’’ financial. in these times. We entertain no sympathy whatever with the New York banks, because their re- fusal to take the step which they were com- pelled to take at the eleventh hour ruined hundreds, if not thousands, of the most enter- Prising and useful business men in New York quite as sound in the way of substantial sssets as themselves, They played the part of the dog in the manger, and in the end found that keeping the merchants from the food (financial) in their Guardianship did not suffice to make that food available for their own preservation. But we willletthe News tell the story of the result of the just furore of excitement against them, brought about by their conduct to the suffering mercantile interest generally, as fol® lows: ° “Wall street itself presented a strange scene, One dense mass of human beings filled the street extending from Broadway to Pearl street, mostly of our first business men, with careworn looks, despair depicted in every feature, each question- ing eagerly his neighbor, seeking information which no one could give. “The work had fairly commenced. There was no child’s play here. No hard-fisted labor- ing men, no flaunting servant girls or ‘anxious mothers’’ running the banks or seeking to ex- change bank notes into the Constitutional cur- rency, only to be laughed and sneered at for do- ing so, but the ‘‘merchant princes’? were there in myriads thronging every nook and corner, and long lines of these extending from the bank coun- ters far into the street, with ‘‘evidence of depos- its’? in hand, each anxious to ‘‘draw’’ before the final exhaustion took place. ‘There was in this vast throng nodisturbance, no unseemly haste, but a itive determination apparently to Pay off the banks for their niggard- ly, senseléss, and cruel course, which resulted in crushing every business man, but the object of which was tosave themselves. Had hey pursn- ed a judicious course in making loans, it would have averted this disaster, and not oy insured their own safety,but protected the merchant also. There has been, up to within the last few days, the most kind dnd generous feeling toward the banks, a feeling entertained by the whole mer- eantile Fayette? and every confidence was laced in them. With such a state of feelin; hese institutions might have increased their loans even beyond their usnal line, and no dan- Ber need have been apprehended; but pursuing a irectly opposite course, while the crisis was upon us, refusing the least aid to the ceuntry banks, calling in t Joans, reducing their line of discounts in the space of a few days to an un- héard-of extent, their very acts carrying fear and dismay to the heart of every business man, what was to have been expected from such a policy but a general blowing up? The bank presidents themselves planted with their own hands the magazine under their own vaults, and even light- ed the match, and to apply it was the easiest,and the most natural thing in the world.” Important Docision.—Subjoined is the de- cision of the Acting Commissioner of the Gen- eral Land Office in relation to the refusal of a Surveyor General to approve the survey of a donation claim : Genera Lano OFFics, Oct. 15, 1857 S1r: In your letter of the 22d of July last, now before me, you staie that the Surveyor General has refused to approve the survey of a donation claim, made according tb the abstract furnished, on the ground that ‘it was not in a compact form, as it crossed a meandered stream ;’? and ask the attention of this office to the condi- ion of a number of claims which have been per- mitted by former Surveyors General, lying on both sides of rapid streams, the disturbance of which claim would work great injury to claim- ants, &c. This office has decided against the right of a claimant to cross a“ navigable stream’? in order to get the quantity of land to which he may be entiled in virtue of his settlement, &c., but what you describe as rapid mountain stream, scarcely navigable with a canoe, cannot be considered as coming under that head ; and the location of a claim on both sides of a stream of this character should not be considered cause for rejection, where the improvements lie on both sides, and the claim is ina compact form, even though it may have been found convenient or necessaly in the prosecution of the public surveys to meauder such stream; nor should one assage of such a stream through aclaim render if liable to objec- tion on the score of compactness of form. ‘The sixth section of the donation act of 1850 is liberal in its provisions with regard to the loca- tion of claims. Whilst it provides that claims “shall be in a compact form, and, where it is practicable so to do, the land so claimed shall be taken ax nearly as practicable by legal subdi- visions,” it also, ‘+ where that cannot be done,” makes it the duty of the Surveyor General «to survey and make each claim with the boundaries as claimed.”? As you do not present a particular case in which this difficulty exists, these general views are mere- ly thrown out for your consideration, and are not laid down as a rule for your government in any Particular class of cases ; That will be done when an actual case is presented for decision. It is desired that the most liberal course con- sistent with law be paaees towards the settlers, especially of that class to which you refer, who settled early in good faith, and bave completed their four-years term of settlement and ocenpa- tion, and that every facility be afforded them for - settlement of their claims and quieting their titles Jn reply to the closing paragraph of your letter, in which you inquire Wet errit is ine doty of this (your) office or the Surveyor General to de- cide in what shade claims may be taken,” 1 have to state that it belongs to the Register and Receiver, under the 6th section of the amendatory act of 17th July, 1854, tomake such decisions, and to the Surveyor General to see that the surveys are properly execcted in accordance therewith. Very respectfully, your obedient se Joseru S. Witsos, Acting Commissioner. F. Mosner, Esq , Register, Winc hester, 0.T. Tae Crart.—We regret to say that the cur- rent financial troubles bid fair to fall with per- haps more disastrous weight upon the printers than on any other branch of mechanics. Book publishing every where at the North is coming fast to a stand-still. In New York, on Satur- day evening last. seven hundred journeymen printers Jost their situations, and our private advices say that to-night quite as many more will be thrown out of employment there, while in Boston, Cincinnati, Philadelphia and Bal- timore the book publishing business will speed- ily be brought to a close for the time being. During the crash of 1837, the effect on the in- terests of the craft was very similar, and the craft did not recover fromit for four long years, if our memory serves us. That ephemeral newspapers, too, must stop in such times as we are about to have, is very certain; for people will not buy any thing they can fairly do with- out for the time being. We shall see in Wash- ington more palpable evidence of the condition of the times in the multitude of journeymen printers out of work flocking hither for em- ployment in printing offices doing Government work, than in all else besides. In the most prosperous times they come hith- er to that end in undue numbers for the inter- est of their resident fellow craftsmen, who rarely fail to aid such of them pecuniarily as are in want here. In the numbers in which they bid fair to flock to the Federal Metropolis next winter to get work (under the patronage of members of Congress) they’bid fair, we fear, ‘to seriously impair the circumstances of their feliow craftsmen residing in the District, who, we presume, will feel called on to share with them to that end their small means on hand, a3 heretofore. Norta-Western Bounpary Coumission.— The Interior Department has received a letter from the North-Western Boundary Commis- sioner, in which it is stated that the party were comfortably located on the shore of the Semi- ‘Ahmoor Bay, east of Point Harbor, Pacifie coast, near the 49th parallel, and hopesoon to be ready for a start into the interior. The English commission had not yet pre- pared for the start, the surveying party not having arrived, so that the U. 8. party are just 80 far ahead of them. The English Commis- sioner was there in a sorew-propeller carrying 21 sixty-eight pounders. One of the American party had gone on an exploration to Fort Langley, on Frazer river, in the British possessions. Commissioner Campbell and Mr.’ Warren, Secretary of the U. 8. Commissioner, had gone in the Active to Puget’s Sound for lumber to build huts for winter quarters. Parent Orrice.— The Nagive Grape of Ar- k4ansas.—Some time since Major H. C. Wil- liams was sent to Arkansas, by the Patent Of- fice, to investigate the native grape of that State. He reports the impossibility, this sea- son, of collecting any seeds of the grape, as they have notmatured this year in consequence of the frosts in the spring. He has no doubt, however, of the success of the grape of that part of the country “in any place where the summers are Jong enough to permit the ripen- ing of the fruit.”’ By a) In Texas he learns that the drought has en- tirely cut off the eorn crop. The prairic lands suffer most. The squirrels, it would seem, ve become slarmed, and are emigrating to’ Ar- kansas, swimming the Red River by thousands One woman, in one day, killed five hundred, with her washing implements on the banke of river. ~ PrePaRaTions ror fee Issuixc oF [rHE Buivs Boox.—The General Land Office has completed the list of all employees in that branch of the public service, whose names, compensation, ete., are required for insertion in the next Biennial Register.
