MONDAY .......-..+---.. November 2, 1857. peer eae es SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS The Intelligencer contradicts positively the story that Sir Gore Ouseley is about to come ac- credited to this Government on a special mis- sion with reference to Central American af- fairs. The same journal regrets that the state of af- fairs in Baltimore is such as to have made the interference of Governor Ligon necessary ere that city’s municipal authorities thought prop- er to invoke him to take that step, and trusts that the Mayor and Governor will come to an understanding on the subject, that will lead to harmonious action on their part in the premi- ses. That desideratum has already been complished, as will be perceived elsewhere in the Star to-day. The Uviow discusses the commerce of Ecua- dor with the United States and other foreign nations, and publishes an elaborate eulogy on the late Hon. Littleton Waller Tazewell. +e WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. Goverxor Watker any Jonson County. We apprebend that the Journal of Commerce is in error in its belief that there is no founda- tion whatever for the statements of Washington letters for the press. attributing to the Adminis- tration dissatisfaction with the course pursued by Governor Walker with reference to the al- Jeged election frauds in Johnson county, (Kan- sas.) We do not, however, believe that the dis- approbation of that course, which the Adminis- tration is said to entertain, is so greatas to jut- tify the newspaper correspondential statements that the design of removing him is entertained. it will probably be found that he has taken eare to reject only returns which, on some ground or other, were iliegally made. and there- fore were not obligatory on him. It is highly probable that the President has not himself ex- pressed an opinion on the case, but awaits offi- cial information on which he may prudently make up his judgment. The truth is, it has been the aim of the Ak ministration that its representatives in Kansas should scrupulously abstain from interference with the decision of the Jova fide inhabitants of the Territory upon the slavery question, and in all their action be guided and governed by the strict letter of the law. assuming no right or authority not indisputably the prerogative of the General Government there; and on the face of this affair it seemed ihat Governor Walker had violated that principie in the mat- ter in question. Thus, for twenty-four hours it seemed to be believed by usually well-informed persons around us, that in assuming, as alleged. to decide upon the character of the Johnson county returms—setting aside the certificates of judges of the election and issuing his war- rants entitling them to hold seats in the Legis- lature to candidates returyed to him hy the said jadges as having becn defeated—he has overstepped his authority, under the circum- stances, in 4 most delicate point; acting, in fact, directly contrary to his instructions. Our impression is, that in a few days those in- structions will be published. On the whole, this Kansas imbroglio appears to thicken, rather than to grow lighter, despite the earnest efforts of the Administration to manage their share of the affair according to the strictest letter of their pledges embraced in the resolves of the Cincinnati National Conven- tion and the inaugural of President Buchanan. Nevertheless, knowing well the earnestness with which the Administration has sought to avoid improp r entanglements in this matter, our belief is that,on the meeting of Congress its showing of its conduct throughout the affair will command the approbation of all the Demo- eratic members of both Hou In point of theory they mon platform tration stan ali stand on a eom- on that on which the Adminis- will be found stand ing ¥ as that it will be diffieult te pick holes in its policy. uniess one ia more disposed to do that thing than to aid in assuring to the future of the country the benefits that Were expected to result from the rigid admiuis- tration of our territorial affairs on the Princi- ples of the Kansas-Nebraska act Spec crLatiox.—We find in adelphia Ledger the follow pier on the use and abuse of credit, which is excec dingly apropos to the exigercies of the times.

Tux APAcHES AND oTHER New Mexican IspiaNs—Tue VALLEY oF TuR Gita, &c¢.— The Indian bureau has received despatches from its superintendeney in New Mexico, which we regret our inability to spread before the Star's readers tv extenso. They embrace a paper from Agent Steck, concerning the present status of the Apaches and other New Mexican In- dians, who, in a council with him, earnestly sue for peace; the Apaches denying the allegation that they are responsible for the depredations laid at their door. In his last annual report he took oceasion to expres: doubts as to the truth of much of that allegation, and he is now more than ever con- firmed in the belief of its falsity, in part. How- ever, the interesting details of the information he sends show that the Apaches have of late strenuously exerted their influence with their confederate tribes to put an end to the war the inited States has been waging upon them of late, by procuring them to unite in the neces- sary guarantees of future good behavior. Tho late campaigns of our troops against them have brought them to reason, by teaching them that when thoroughly roused, the Government of the United States can sweep them off the face of the earth with almost as much ease they burn the dry grass off the prairies. They are evidently humbled, and the prospeet now is that they will not soon again give trouble ‘The despatches in question also embrace notes from Col. Bomeville, the result of the observa- tions of that acute officer made during his late four months tour in and around the valley of the Gila, which he represents as being the most fruitfal and beautifal territory he ,ever saw; and he kas probably seen and carefully observed wore of the characteristics of the unsettled por- tions of our vast national domain than any other man living. It is of a great extent, and com- bines for agricultural and pastoral purposes more advantages—except that of communica- tion with the outside great centres of commerce— than any other region of the United States. In fact, according to Col. B., it is a perfect fairy land or paraiise, as it were. We judge from the details of his communica- tion that he has already established such tem- porary posts in and around it as will enable our enterprising frontier men to make its remark- able advantages speedily well known to the country at large. This beautiful territory. or at least that por- tion of it laying on the south side of the Gila river, was acquired by the United States through the Gadsden purchase. the rest by the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo: and either sec- tion, judging from Colonel B.'s enthusiastic de- scription, is likely to be worth, to the Union at large, more than was paid in actual money for both. It is emphatically the region most likely to be settled up next. We have already spread before the Srar’s readers, by the by, many of Col.

Ligon, “ but by a com- mittee of citizens.’? Our impression is that no such application was made whatever.
