Tax Pestic Works or Vircixsa.—Our Dis- trict of Columbia readers are perhaps. not a ‘few of them, weary with the pertinacity with which the Scar urges the prompt completion of ithe public works of iad) The key to our abiding interest in their completion, wer; is, in great part, in the fact that that conSuma- tion is of vital importance to the future Of the Federal Metropolis. The latter grows with the ' growth of the whole Union. ‘It is rapidly hhe- coming the heart of our country, the pulsations of which flow like waves to the remotest corners of the confederacy, where they are responded to by the beating of the popular sentiment on all questions of interest. It is of vital import- ance to the future of the business interests of the District of Columbia that every ue foi the concentration of travel and eee in our vicinity should be open and in use. We know well that those of Virginia.are es- pecially available: for the future of the Dis- trict, and therefore look to them with abiding solicitude. To no other do we look with so great interest, as to the speedy completion of the extension of the Orange and Alexandria Railroad, east of Lynchburg. When finished, that work is destined to bring daily—not through, but to sojourn for days—into Wash- ington City. from three to five hundred stran- gers, who now pass from South to North and from North to South by other routes... There can be no question that the dircet route from Memphis, Tenn., to Alexandria, with its lateral connections by rail into Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee and Kentucky, will open up the most delightful and extensive route of travel to exist in thiscountry in the next decade, as well asthat it will develop a region of territory hitherto almost a sealed book to industry and progrese, second to no other of the same extent in the United States in its general industrial capabil- ities. Knowing these facts well it is not won- derful that we are atall times watehful over the prospect for its steady and speedy eomple- tlon. Our friend of the Alexandria Gazette, in a recent article upon it, by. the by, takes oc- easion to say : ‘It was stated in the Richmond Whig, about a week since, based upon an article whieh ap- peared in the Charlottesville Advocate, that work onthe Lynchburg Extension of the Orange and Alexandfia Railroad hed been suspended. We omitted at the time to contradict tits statement, but are now officially informed that such ix not the case; that the wok has not been suspended. and will not be.

The present condition of financial affairs will of course be a yreat obstacle in the way; but of such importance is it to the interest of the State and ‘road that this extension should be completed, that unusual exertions will have to be put forward, and even considerable sacrifices submitted to, for the purpose of accomplishing the desired object We sincerely hope that suc- cess will crown the efforts of the Compa that in avery few years Alexandria will derive the much-wished-for and long-expected sdvan- tages to which she isso justiy entitled, and for which she bas so nobly striven.” Tuaxkrut For Smart Farvors.—The New York Evenin Post regards the result of the recent election in Ohio as‘ a gratifying one in every point of view.”’ and considers the triumph of Governor Chase in this case as -: the most complete victory the Governor ever achieved.” Well, there is as little accounting” for the impressions of politicians at times as for the taste of the ladies—that’s certain.—if the Pose has not gone completely daft Chase. if elected, is elected by less than a thousand majority; and the majority of the real national American party men of the State have qaietly and very sensibly struck their eolors and ranged themselves under the flag of the Democratic organization—which, as this election demonstrates. is within a handful of votes as strong as the Republican party in Obio. Chase is a smooth-tongued man with no prin- ciples that fail to centre in self’ A gentleman in bis manners, tastes, and personal associa- tions, he is. nevertheless, as arch a demagogue, and as reckless of consequences to his country so he subserves his own interest. as any pot- house politician living. We know the man thoroughly. having had him in our eye from the time he kept a school in this city to this hour. We know that what he failed to do to- wards crowning his party with a substantial victory in the reeent Ohio election, could be accomplished by no other Republican politi- clan. Our view of the result of this election, how- ever, is precisely oppos te to that of the Even- tug Post. At the last election, the Repub! cans bad a plurality of full sixteen thousand in Ohio. Their falling of in this election to less than one thousand plurality tells that their substantial control of the State has departed. We do not regret having been beaten in this contest, Lecause experience tells us that our friends will carry the State two years hence; which will leave us to enter the next presiden- tial canvass with the prestige of the entire re- generation of Ohio incident to such a victor which will be worth more than we can now ex- plain, to the Democratic cause in 1860—to which period we are already looking forward. Propects op Cairornia.—We hear this morning that H. Db. Barrows, Esq., of Los An- gelos, California. called on President Buchanan. and for himself and Mr. Win. Wolfskill, and Don Manuel Requena, (Mr. W. having resided there since 1531, and Don M. R. being a native,) presented Mr. Buchanan with various epeci- mens of California wines and fruits. which he brought from the Pacific side for that purpose. They consist of a barrel of fine old California port, made by Mr. Wolfskill from his own vin- yard. probably the largest in California; two cases of white and red wines, braudy from the pure juice of the grape, Angelica wine, (a light wine for the ladies.) and half a dozen other brands, all grown and made by Don M. Re- quena, who has the reputation of being the most successful producer of wines in California. Among the fruits presented on this occasion, were California oranges, sweet lemons, citrons, almonds, English walnuts, and very luscious grapes, all as finely flavored as the finest Italy ean produce. They illustrate the fact that Cal- ifvrnia is, in time. destined to supply our coun- try with these necessaries and comforts of life in great abundance, and more cheaply than they can be imported. Her wine producing capabil- ities are equal to those of any land in the world. Indeed, last year, from the district of Los Angelos alone—where there are some 20,- 000 acres especially adapted to the culture of the grape—150,000 gallons of native wines were sent to San Francisco, and 1,000 tons of grapes; which proves that the trade is al- realy an important one, though we on this side of the continent know ao little of its existence. By-the-by, two years ago, a friend sent usa present of a box of California wine then twen- ty-four years old, which. in flavor, color, and all other attributes, was # nearer approach to @ fornia Ni: very fine Madeira, than any other pure wine we ever saw that was net produced on the island of Madeira itself.

It strikes us that unless satisfied beforehand that they will be protected in the exercise of the right of suf- frage, to eszay to voce on that occasion will be simply to emperil their lives to no good end. It is clear to nearly all outside the limits of that corporation that its authorities—of course in- cluding the polico—aro leagued with the gangs who consider the attempt of a Democrat to ex ercise the right of suffrage there acrime worthy of the death penalty, and who act with impu- nity on that axiom. It is also very certain that with the authorities in so close alliance with the * Blood-Tubs,”* ‘« Plug Uglies," “ Killers,” &e the hope that without @renching the city’s thoroughfares in blood in defence of their rights of citizenship, there can be no hope of a Demo- eratie triumph in Baltimore on this oceasion. Under such circumstances we feel it to be our duty to advise the Democrats of that city not to risk their lives in essaying to avail themselves of their political rights. A Norewortay Event.—The first mail on the overland route between the Mississippi and: the Pacific coast, under the contract of the Post Office Department with James E. Birch, arrived at San Diego, Cal., on the 21st of Au- gust. after a journey of only thirty-four days. Itis remarkable, from the fact that the journey was made from San Antonio in about half the usual time required to cross the backbone of the continent over any other route, and without the previous placement of relays of animals along the route, which will in due time be sta- tioned there to facilitate the enterprise. The entire success of this trip vindicates, eminently, the wisdom of the firmness of the President and Postmaster General in resisting the sectional appeals against that particular route, when making the selection. In twelve months from this time those at the North whose business affairs connect them with California, will’ wonder how any other than this Texas route could have been dreamed of, so glaring will its advantages over all others tray- eled between the Mississippi and Pacific have become, iu that time. Witsesses Berorg toe Nayar Courts.— There being no power in law to compel the at- tendance of witnesses in the cases Leing tried by these courts, itfrequently happens that their procecdings are grievously delayed by their failure to attend promptly. That is, of those summoned from distant parts. All the delays in the procecdings of these courts have arisen from the failure of witnesses to be present when expected. We know of nothing that can possibly cure this evil but a change in the disposition of the delinquent witnesses themselves. That is, those of them not amenable to the orders of the Navy Department; for we take it for granted that the Seeretary of the Navy will carefully note cases wherein naval witnesses summoned to attend either of these courts have failed, on any ground whatever, to be present on the day and at the hour specified. Tue Navau Courts or Ixquiny.—Before Court No. 1, to-day, Commodore Perry was ex- amined in behalf of Lt. Whiting, whose case is still being tried therein. Before Court No. 2, the ease of Lt. Morgan is still being tried. To-day, Lts. Jas. Johnson and Westcott, and Drs. Chilton and Horner (civilians) were examined in iton the appel- lant’s behalf. Before Court No. 3, to-day, the case of Capt. Robt. Kitchie (retired on leave) was taken up. His counsel, ex-Senater Cooper, of Pa., ob- jected to the trial of the case with Capt. Golds- borough on the Court, that gentleman having Leen a principal witness against Capt. R. ina late trial by Court Martial, and Capt. String- ham was accordingly ordered to duty for the time being on this Court, in place of Capt. G. Surgeon Green, called for the Government, was examined in the case to-day.

It was, how- ever, elicited that the young woman was born in England, and arrived at New York in the month of May last. She subsequently went to Philadel- phia, and some time in the latter part of August or early in Septeruber, wax engaged for a while as a seamstress in the family of Dr. Burr, who resides on Walnut street. near Twelfth. She was a modest and rather intelligent person, and beau- tifel in figure. On Saturday last, she, in com- pany with a man aged about sixty years, went to the hotel, in Warket street, where he engaged boarding and lodying, and registered on the book of the establishment the name of George Clark and lady.
