s . —— ° WASHINGTON CITY: TUESDAY ovember 3, 1857. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Unrom is again to-day upon “ Banks and Banking.” The Intelligencer rejoices over the settle ment of the late difieulty between Gov. Ligon and Mayor Swan relative to the act of the for- mer in holding the militia of Baltimore ready to suppress violence and secure to all citizens of all parties the exercise of their rights to rote there to-morrow. It strikes us as being still problematical whether the last step of the Goy- ernor is a wise one. If the arrangements made by Mayor Swan have really been made in good faith, and prove sufficient to accomplish their nominal ends, the withdrawal of the Governor's proclamation will have been a wiseact. If not. then an unfortunate one. ‘EF Burton's Cyclopedia cf Wit and Humor, part 15, contains some admirable specimens of English humor, aud has a fine likeness of Thos.

Furnixs, of that city. The most singular part of the story is that the person applying for the Aebeas corpus is Mr. G Purniss himself, who, in this step, to say the least, shows a marvelous indifference to public opinion. It is stated that the husband pays a re- markably high price for the privileges of the Janatic asylum for his wife. She managed, how- ever, after she was taken to the asyinm, to w.ite to Mr. Furniss, who replied through thecolum: * of the Herald. whieh paper, it appears, Mrs. Woodman was permitted to see. These leti were produced in behalf of the application by Mr. Furniss and tread to show her sanity. They abou.d inaffectionate expressions and solicit him earnestly to effect her release.

New York Express WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP Aw Isterestive Persox Senator Gwin brought with him from California, on his last journey hither, the yeuth, Heco, who has for some years at geet little of the attention of persons @f education and en- larged sympathies in thatquarter. “The truth is, there,(in California.) growing importance of our comm idterdourse with Japan is more generally prehended than on the At- lantie side. whence nearly all intercourse with that quarter of the world must be through our Pacific coast settlements and commercial estab- lishments. The fact that young Heco. being remarkably well éducated for his age in studiee such as are taught youth in his own land, ra- pidly became very proficient in reading, writing and conversing in the English language. and indeed thoroughly Americanized, induced the general belief, among those knowing him in Sana Francisco, that he may in time prove of great value to this Government’s future in con- nection with Japan. Hence the evident public interest in him there. As we share in the belief that through his services the way may be opened for the prompt realization of much of the commercial promise of Commodore Perry’s treaty, we trust that the Government here will employ him in some way, that he may keep up his knowledge of bis na- tive land, its language, dc. It may be that in a year, a month. or a week, a translator of the Japanese will be indispensable to the State De- partment: or that the services of an Amevican in feeling and associations who can obtain xc- cess to persons and things in Japan, such as might not be within the reach ofany foreigner, will be of great importance to the future inter- ests of the American commercial world in that quarter. But we will detain the reader no longer from the articles concerning this interesting youth, which will be found below—the first being a letter from a former Collector of the Port of San Francisco, Beverly Saunders, Esq., to Sen- ator (iwin, and the latter an editorial from a San Francisco journal : San Francisco, Sept. 3, 1957. Hon. Wm. M. Gwin, U.S. Senator: Dear Sin: Havipy this day placed under your protection Joseph Heco, a Japanese boy, | think the oceasion an appropriate oue to give you what I know of bi« history Itseems that his father is a wealthy land pro- pens residing about thirty English miles trom Dsaka, a seapost in Japan, in which city resided his brother engaged in commerce. ‘The elder Heco sent hisson to Osaka to learn commerce and navization with bis uncle. In th tumn of 1450, Joseph was sent in one of his uncle’s junks on a voyage to Jedo with a caryo of saki and other articles, the boy being placed under the protection of the captain. ‘The junk arrived safely at Judo, discharged, and took ina cargo of beans, rice, wheat, and xait fish, and sailed for Osaka via Woragawa. After leaving the latter pace late in the loth mom, (Qctober,) the junk was overtaken by a violent gale and blown out to sea. After remainiuy fitty days at the mercy of the waves, the jnnk being disabled and unmanaye- able, the wreck was fallen in with by the Ameri- can barque Auckland, Capt. Jennings, who took off the crew, consisting de picthiar sts persons, and brought them to San Francisco, arriving her February, I-51. The Collector of the Port placed all these persons on board the revenue cutter and ‘wrote to the Government at Washington for in- structions as to theirdi<position. The Govern- meut, with the laudable desire to set an example of humanity, and enitivate good neighborhood with Japau, sent the sloop-of-war St. Marys tu take these shipwrecked persons to their own country. They were accordingly embarked on board this vessel in the Spring of 1852, and stiled for Hong Kong, where the Japanese sailors were transferred to the U.S. steamer Susquehanna. Why they were not taken to Japan in the St Macys or the steamer Susquehanna I have never ledrned; but they were not; and all got adrift scattered in al: directions. Heco returned to Cal- ifernia in the B itish barque Sarah Hooper, in tLe autumn of I=32. Shortly afterwards, and while I was Collector ofthe Port, I took Heeo under my protection, and soon discovered that he was much super in general intelligeuce to tis rece generally. determined to educate him; thinking he might some day be very useful, both to his own country and to mine Accordingly, In 1353, when I went to Eurspe, I placed him at school in Baltimore, where he remained until my return to San Francisco, and after that I entered him at school in the iy. where he continued until circursta it out of my power to continue him al then procured him a situation in the countin ho se of the highly respretable house of Maco: ray & Co., of this city, where he bas remained until to-day.

Pre-ewption Ciatws ro LAnps ror Ratt- ROAD Purposes.—The Commissioner of the General Land Office, in a recent decision, has laid down the law and views of his office on several points of great interest and importance to the public of the South and West, as fol- lows : 1. Pre-emption claims upon any Jand with- drawn from market for railroad purposes where the settlements were made in good faith with the Government before the passage of the law making the grant, and prior to the “definite loeation’’ or surveying and staking off of the route of the road, are subject to consumation within the period fixed by law for proving up and entering offered and nnoffered lands, at ene ordinary minimum of $1.25 per acre, and payment may be made in specie, or with mili- tary bounty land warrants. 2. After the surveying and staking off of any route, the pre-emption right ceases on the rail- road sections; but from and after that date the U.S. reserved sections, within the six mile limits of the route, are pre-emptible at a amini- mum of $2.50 per acre till the date of ~ final adjustment’’ of the alternate sections to which the railroad is entitled. 3. From the date of the final allotment afore said until the date of offering the U.S. re- serve’ sections at public sale, pre-emption rights to lands in such sections cannot attach; but after the offering, the reserv@d sections again become pre-emptibie at a minimum of $2.50 per anore. 4. Where the $2.50 minimum attaches, bounty land warrants under the act of 3d March, 1855, cannot be used in part payment, there being an express inhibition of such use in the statute; but warrants iseued under prior acts of Con- gress may be so used—one warrant only to be laid on a single pre-emption claim at the rate of $1.25 per acre, aud the balance required to make up the $2.50 to be paid in specie. Tar Apvices BY TeLeerarn.—We are fre- quently taken to task by friends on account of the tone—evident bias—of telegraphic des- patehes now and then published in the Star's columns, and it is quite a task to beat into them, individually, the comprehension of the fact that we necessarily publish such items pre- cisely as they reach us, always a few moments ere locking up the form to go to press. Or, ‘n other words, that it is past editorial capacity anywhere even to revise them, or the power of the sgent through whose hands we receive them to caeck the tendency to political bias with which they are furnished to him. We find ina late number of the Prinsylranian an exposi- tion of this matter, which, brief as it is, sets forth the difficulty eapitally. So we acvordingly transfer it to the Svar as embracing an expla- nation that can hardly fail to prove more satis- factory to those of our friends who have ques- tioned us on the subject, than any we have been able to give them orally in brief conversa- tiohs : Opintoxs sy Teizorarn —It isa great mis- fortune that the persons acting as the agents of the Associated Press throughout the country are much miure addicted to senate their individual opin- jons by telegraph than established facts Atali the more important poimts, these persons are mian- ifestly of a political bias, opposed to the Democ- d scarcely a @ i L some ct is not distorted or prejudiced by by the lugyinyg in of some individual on #0 prowineut West, for x year orn lly an even as an indicat and the « have not been tow where these person: © attempted by gross imisstatements to forestall public opinion npon matters of vital lt concern, by a surreptitious use of even the jemocratie press. For instance, the despatch fom Baltimore, published yesterday, had this sentence: ‘- The conservative portion of the com- munity denounce the action of the Governor as a partizan measure,’ and this is published North and South as an prejudiced statement of fact, whereas it is the mere unsupported assertion of a Know-Nothing correspondent, and directly at variance with the sentiment of the whole preks of Baltimore, with the single ies gate of that upon which the Baltimore agent of the Associated Press is employed. We pay some $4,000 annually for telegraph news, not for the opinions of irres- ponsible and prejudiced individuals, whose bu- siness is only with facts. But what makes the matter worse is the fact that the great bulk of our despatches are received at so late an hour as to preclude editorial supervision. Tne Case or Cart. Reynotps.—Some time since we mentioned the fact that Capt. Rey nolds. late of the Quartermaster’ s Department, U.S. A.,had Leen restored by the President to his former position in the service. That the reader may understund the circumstances un- der which this act of Executive justice was de- termined on, we quote a Washington letter published recently in the Richmoud Enquirer us follows : “There las been a case of government wrong to au individu: ndesivned, perhaps,) and that individual a citizen of Virginia, which has ex- ch comment. no less sympathy for patty wronged. J allude to the case of Alex- ander W. Reynolds, captain of the army. who was dropped some two years since from the army rolls, on the allegation that be was a defaulter, or hed not properly settled his accounts. And as his name has ‘been heralded in thix ungiacioux connection, and as he is one of the noblest of spirits, and withal a gallant son of the Old Do- n to put him aright tminion, T shall tak before bis country id ohis native State. Some two years since, Capt. Reynolds settled at Wash- » his accounts as quartermaster, and his went was accepted at the time as satixfac- tory by the proper department, with the excep- tion of an item ortwofor which he had not the formal vouchers. He immediately left for New Mexico to procure the deticient vonchers, and while absent on his mission, his accounts were the Treasury, and bis name stricken y lists, “On the buy pening of this, his brother officers at once memorialized the President to restore him at once to his rank, alleging, with great earnest- ness, that they. were sare that Captain Reynolds was incapable of being a defaulter, and that bis accounts would ultimately all turn up right — His commanding otticer, also, Gen. Wool, had recommended him for brevet promotion for servi- ees in the very department in which he was al- ledged to bave been a defaulter, + Capt, Reynolds demanded suit from the gov- occas, e ut; and suit was accordingly brought on a « that be was minus totue government more than a handred thousand dollars, Before the suit was instituted, the matter was referred to exam- iners or arbitrators, all of whom were selected by the Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. Cobb. ‘The arbitrators were unanimous, that instead of Capt.

TheGermansof thecity are Democrats almost to a man, which has em- boldened the authors of the coalition to make it cordial and entire.

Mormon Deserters and their Stcry. ‘The Nebraska correspondent of the New York Times, under date of October 22, writes : ** News hax just reached here from our frontier Mormon settlement upon the Loupe Fork of the Piatte River, near the mouth of Beaver, and known as the Beaver settlement of Mormons, (about one hundred miles inland from here,) that some renegade Mormons, or seceders from the Mormon Church, fleeing from the Danites of Salt Lake, bad reached that settlement a few days since, briaging the news that a large force of tie Mormon militix, under Bri n Young and He- ber C. Kimbali, were preparing to leave Salt Lake City. with provisions aad ammunition for a siz wees campaign ia the mountains to the eas + ward. and thus to stop, tf possible, the passage of the United States’ troops. Although the positive destinution was a secret known only to the leed>rs. of the Church, yet it was generally supposed that @’ the pass in the mountains near Bear River cat- ott, or at Steepie Rocks, the staud would be made by the Salt Lake forces, with an almost certainty ot me out”? the entire force sent agaist them a Salt ke City, and through the Terri- tory, fur so mouths prior tothis movement, the militia or teer force have undergone more than ordinaty drill, and a number of reviments would compare favorabiy, in point of drill, with the independent corps of the States. The Mor- mons feel confident of destroying the force sent against them this Ball, and, wiih their next Spring's allies from the States, expect to stand a teyular ght against the whole United States available force, and not only conquer, but estab- lish themselves as an independent Government. ‘+ Between Fort Kearney and the Valley these three or four men traveled almost entirely at night, and, under the guidance of one of tie party—a thorough mountain man—evaded the regular traveied route, seeing no troops or Iudiaus, and making the travel in about niaeteen days They, and all the mountain men with wnom I have conversed, stale that in the event of a stand being taken in some of the mountain gorges this side of Salt Lake, ten men can easily and success- fully cope with one hundred and fifty United States soldiers. And who know these mountain ranges and gorges with ali their advantages and disadvantayes better than the Mormons ‘This report also brings the somewhat expected news that many of the Indian tribes from southern Oregon aud Utah were seeretely preparing to join the Mormon force."? ‘Tue Movements oF THE Futon. —The Mo- bile Register of Oct. 28th, nays : “The U.S. propeller Fulton. Lieut. John I Almy, comma , arrived here yesterday in nine days from Chesapeake Bay.

Armed with an attachment taken out by one of the prominent citizens of St. Louis, and equipped with crow- bars, cold-chisels aud similar instruments, the sberitf effected an entrance iuto the bank vault of E.
