John Van Buren, by-the-by, ina recent speech in Tammany Hall, presented thé pbli¢ with, perhaps. the best argument upon th~ “abject of State indebted- ness, (including natioff7 ndebtedness, for they involve a common princiffe.) thst has, so far, been published in the country. He shows that while the policy of the opposition bas ever been to tax, squander and involve, that of the De- moeracy has been directly the contrary, and- that our sound and safe national progress bas been, in the main, through the ascendancy of the Democratic policy in this connection. The Intelligencer rejoices that the Govern- ment has ‘* reconsidered the intention lately imputed to it of suspending for some months the prosecution of work on the public edifices now in course of construction at the seat of government and elsewhere ;"* an intention at no moment entertained by the Government, as we have already taken occasion to explain— the “ intimations in several semi-official chan- nels," on which the Intelligencer is accustomed to rely, to the contrary notwithstanding. — —- see Pieap Gritty ames O’Brayman, editor of the Chicago Democrat, appeared before the U.S Court Monday morning and pleaded guilty to an indictment of purioining letters from the post Office.

The engraving, by Chappel are among the most ex quisite specimens of the art we ever bebeld, ai these, with the beautiful manner in which it is got up generally, coustitutes it work fit to adorn any centre table, aside from its value as a care- fully prepared and graphically written history Seamtrss Ganwexts—Wauar Next?—The New York Tribune describes a visit to a seam- Jess garment manufactory near F ishkill, where woolen garments are produced without a seam, aud of greater strenuth, durability and warmth than cloth made in ordinary manner. The mate- tial is first batted and felted, and is then taken to the tailor, who cuts out in pieces the garments to be made, taking care to cut them about double the size desired. Next these pieces pass through the hands of girls who carefully bevel the edges to be joined, and baste them together with a cot- ton thread. The garments now exhibit a rude approach to their proper shape. A cotton cloth having been inserted within the sleeves and the pockets, aud wherever else two thicknesses come together, in order to prevent their being converted into one, the garments are again passed through the felting machine, and soon come out with no trace of the seams except the cotton basting thread, which is easily pulled out. Thy are then treated much like so many pieces of ordi- nary wovlen cloth, being passed through a full- ing apparatus, teasled and sheared After this, they are put upon copper forms, heated by steam, which complete their shape, and allow the sur- face to be finished. They then go into the bands of the trimmer, who binds the edges, works the button holes, puts on the buttons and facings, and gets them ready for market Among the articles manufactured are overcoats, business coats, vests, leggins and mittens. The cloth was subjected to severe tests of its strength, and found to be surprisingly tenacious. {t differs from felt cloth to being equaily strong in what- ever way itis tied. It ix altogether of wool, as cotton canwot be used in the felting process. Its advantages over common cloth are greater cheap- ness, wa.mth and dusability; it also sheds rain much better. WASHINGTON NEWS AND Waxrev—A Tugatre.—Never before did a city stand in so great a need of a theatre as the Federal Metropolis at the present writing. We have a resident population, including Georgetown, of at least ‘pity to pa- tronize one, and for the next t months will have among us four or times as many play-going stranger#as congregate in any other city of the population of Washington, in the world. There.are three or four halls here each capable of being converted into acom- fortable theatre, with box, parquette and gal- lery, toseat an audience numbering from fifteen hundred to two thousand souls. An expendi- ture of $5,000 at most will prove sufficient to fit up either of them with comfort, taste, and even elegance. surpassing anything of the kind this side of Philadelphia. That is, except with Socnery, stage machinery and wardrobe. We ] ave no doubt that some well-known manager a Sle to command half the entire amount neces- svcy (which will be about $10,000) can easily r sise the other half here by the sale of season tickets in advance. He must, however, be kn own to be a man of experience, substance an. character. In the course of the season. wit h a small first class light comedy company and arapid succession of musical and ballet novelties, he may clear much nearer twenty thousa.od dollars, than the five thousand he will probably have to invest from his own pocket in the enterprise. The halls to which we refer are all extremely well located for the purpose. | The reason why theatricals have failed to payin Washington of late years, is in in a nut- shell. The late National Theatre would hold. probably, four thousand persons. It was very badly constructed for being lighted and heated. Thus there was a dead outlay of perhaps $100 per night necessayy upon it—wk ich, by the by, failed to make it comfortable, which no expen- diture could dv. The loss of this $100 per night swallowed what would otherwise have been its profits; for no manager absolutely lost money by it. The “Varieties,” on the other hand, was too small to permit it to be a profitable house any- where. No manager could affurd to place a first rate eompany in it, for at most it could hardly hold over $150 per night. Would it not be well for the Washington public's friend. John T. Ford, to come over from Baltimore and essay the enterprise of starting such a theatre here as we suggest / He has the neeessary character, and the confi- dence of the Washington public besides. RetrexcaMent. — Our imvpression is, that this so magically effective word before -‘ the dear people’’ is, after all that has happened, quite as likely as ever to be impotent next winter before Congress. The fact that the or- dinary sources ef the expenditure of money are fast drying up under the influence of tho altered condition of the general business of the people will serve to induce those interested in expenditures under direction of Congress to redouble their effurts to make them, each in some particular case, as large as possible, and also greatly to increase the number of persons so interested. Government expenditures bid fair to be the question of bread for a year or two with so many more than heretofore, as that nearly all who follow the business of tickling popular fancy will go in with redoubled zeal to increase them The latter can hardly fail, under such cir- cumstances, to exert even more influence than ever before, it strikes us, upon the National Legislature. The policy of the protectionists is a national debt; co they will necessarily ad- vocate almost any and every proposition to spend public money likely to generate one. The strides of the country’s wants (of facilities) that may be legitimately provided for by the General Government, are quite as large now as before the panic set in. But we might men- tion fifty reasons and circumstances leading us to believe that the aggregate of the appropria- tions of Congress, made in the course of the next session, will not fall a dime less than the aggregate of the last session. * Iuportant Anwy GeNeRat Ornpers.

Tax Mania or THs Tives.—We quote the following brief paragraph from the Boston Courier, subscribing heartily to its every sug- gestion. It is a notable fact that the districts of New England and the no javeholding States generally wherein abolitionism is the pre- vailing sentiment, are the districts wherein Mil- lerism, Spiritualism, Mormonism, Mesmerism, Free-loveism, and all other such emanations of the devil, have flourished from time to time. They are the regions of sallow-looking old waids of from thirty to forty-five, from whom men with heart, soul and hot blood in their composi- tion fly as from the egld plague. We fear that until Providence afflicts the race utter barrennese, no change will occur in : Mis- inneso- The works now employ some hundred and fifty their propensity to one-ideaism. They will Operatives of both sexes ¢ontinue communities of optimists, (over-right- cousones,) backbitera, haters of all more genial persons than themselves, self-starvers, misers. grinders of the faces of the poor, and, in fact, sbolition ultraists—a race for whom we confess more “Sntipatby than for any other man beings on the face of the globe. But to “quotation from the Boston Courier : ** On interesting and instructive ts ia the human race is the re- renee, to time, of diseased condi- sof lic mind, constituting moral ies, which infect society with moral de ical condition is oceasion- ions, just asits ph ally aie ‘by infectious or contagious dix tempers. never one of these moral epidemic: seizes upon the public mind it becomes morbidly sensitive in some patticular way, or on some Specific subject; it runs into the most pitiable ex- travagances ; it seems to lose all sense, reason, and judgment; it exhibits the symptoms of tem- rary deliriousness.

Watxer’s Prosrgects.—The news from Nic- aragua by the last arrival looks much less fa- vorabie for Walker than any previously re- ceived. The expulsion of all Americans sus- pected of sympathy with his free-booting schemes that has taken place, isa very natural occurrence; while the simple banishment of the only two natives conceived by the Government to sympathize with the fillibusters was an act of great mercy to them, when one considers what the natives and country have already suffered at Walker's hands. The Nicaragua correspondents of the New York newspapers, one and all, unite in“ the opinion that it is now utterly impossible for the fillibusters to get a foothold there, so complete are the preparations for their due reception. Experience has taught Nicaragua the absolute necessity of unity for self-defence, and she has evidently profited by it. Martinez, the newly- elected President of the Republic, is the man of greatest energy, decision of character, and mental and political resources among them. He is the living Nicaraguan best fitted for his po- sition, by long odds, and will, under existing circumstances, doubtless be able to cut off all the fillibusters—ship load by ship load—&s they may reach his country, if succeeding in cireum- venting the measures of the Government of the United States to prevent them from violating our neutrality law. Tne Detaware Trust Lanns.—Applica- tions having been made for pre-emption upon the Delaware Trust Lands, the Commissioner of the General Land Office has decided that by the treaty with the Delaware Indians, signed May 6, 1854, and ratified by the Senate on the 11th of July following, the lands ceded (with the exception of ‘‘ The Outlet,’’) are to be sold at public auction for the benefit of the Indians, they paying the cost of surveying, managing and settling the samme. and the United States to account for the proceeds of the same; and that pre-emptions cannot attach to any of the lands thus ceded by the Delawares, with the exception of “ The Outlets,”’ that not being the jand to be surveyed and sold for the benefit of the Delawares. ‘ Tax Navau Courts or Isquirny.—In Court No. 1, to-day, in the case of ex-Lieut.

Though we cannot as yet venture to share their confidence—for we are not suf- ficiently familiar at this time with the details of New York State politics—we nevertheless count strongly on a tremendous Democratic gain there; one which will exhibit the Repub- lican party organization in the State hardly stronger than the Democrats.

Interesting Statement by Col. Schlessim@pr. Col. Schlessinger has just returned from Nica- ragua, and has furnished us with some import- ant information upon the present condition of affairs in that comely ‘This gentleman, it is known, was an officer under Walker and commanded at Santa Rosa.

After the capitulation f Comorn, at which he was present. be came to the United States with Governor Ujhazy, and shortly afterwards joined the expedition to Cuba, having lived a week on soots; and after the gar- ftoting of Lopez, he was condemned to be sent to Ceuta, in Africa. He escaped, however, from his confinement there, and returned to the United States, and soon after got himself into difficulty in Nicaragna. Col. Schlessinger reports that, at the election held in aragua on the 26th ult., Gen. Martinez was elected by an overwhelming vote. the joint candidate of the Legislatists and Demo- cratx. Martinez is a man of liberal principles, of undoubted decision and bravery, aud populat with the inasses. There were but few Americans expelled from Nicaragua and Costa Rica under the late decree. ‘Those expelled were parties friendly to Walker, and who would rush to his aid should he return with a military expedition. A free passage was given to the expelled to San Juan. In relation to the defensive preparations against another filibustering invasion, Col. Schlessinger s that an order had been issued by the Nic- araguan Government, calling upon all the male po) n, between sixteen and fifty years, to arm themselves and be ready for active service at a moment's warning.

But in buildings there was a fright. Those on the ground oor felt the jar and waving of the walls, and saw crockery dane- ing on the dinner tables, china rattling in the tx, stove-pipes fin one instance) ‘falling. while in another a dilapidated chimney parted with a few of its topmost bricks. The farther up from the pre the greater the shock. In fourth and filth stories there was a sensible tot- ing of brick walls, and tools rolled from the tes of workmen to the floor. of questions about what hogshead of sugar had broken loose, what jib-boom of a vex sel’run into waterside Duildiags, what fire-proot safe had fallen, what boiler bad burst, or what powder magazine hd blown up. But the bor- boryginous (look at the dictionary) mutterings from the bowels of our common mother—ex- plained the thing, and all settled down on one conclnsion—we had had an earthquake —Com- mercial Advertiser, Saturday. ~ +e Tue Cuicaco Fire —The Chicago papers of the 23d and 21th, contain fuil accounts of the bu- rial of the bodies of the victims of the late con- flazration in that city, and of the inquest which is still proceeding The funeral obsequies were performed in the aair. A platform had been erected in the Court-honse Square, and long before the hour ap- | inted the grounds, streets, windows, and ¢-lops were filled with an‘anxious throng. — Afier the services, which were conducted by a © of clergymen, the procession moved h the streets tothecemetery. Many of the principal streets were draped in mourning, and the flags of the various vessels floated at half- mast. The testimony produced at the Coroner's In- quest on the bodies of the victims of the five. de- velops some startling facts. It appears that the upper floors of the stores burned on Water street were occupied by young men as sleeping apart- ments. A number of those young men were clerks in the stores. The evidence proves that it was their common practice to introduce women of bad repute into their rooms at night, and sev- eral of these women testify that they were paas- ing the night in the rooms when the fire broke out. It is supposed that the coesegmatoe was the work «f incendiaries, though it dors not clearly appear, as yet, where or how the fire was set. Flames were first observed by the city bell ringer, bursting out of the top story of the build- ing. — “Rgapy. ave Rrapy.’’—The New York Albion of October 24 says: When Lord Napier declared before the assembled sons of St. George that he, for one, would not hide bis talent under a diplo- matic napkin, the sentiment was generally ap- planded as a felicitous phrase, and was by some regarded as significant. It will be seen from the subjoined advertisement that his Lordship said what he meant, and meant what he said. Some one here has anonymously ig linge to hima prec for navigating the shallow waters of our ndian rivers by vessels of exceedingly light draught; and in place of wrapping himself up in official reserve, or adopting a roundabout way of couununicating with the unknown projector, Lord Napier simply bids him to come forward This is acting up to the motto emblazoned on bis armorial bearings. Higher praise we could not wive. ADVERTISEMENT.
