SrikiT OF THE MORNING PRESS. 4 The Union, publishing a few returns of the Kansas election of the 4th instant, from the St. Louis papers, concludes that the Topeka- ites voted for State officers under the Lecomp- ton Constitution very generally, and evidently is of opinion that in so doing they have vir- tually settled the question to the extent of paving the way for getting rid of it at this point. The Intelligencer continues its discussion of the Detroit resolutions “with the Union.” FO WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. At ax Exp—The distant public may rest as- sured, that so far as the action of Congress upon the proposition to amend the neutrality Jaws is concerned, the whole business is now at anend. The very decisive vote yesterday by which the House rejected all the propositions to that end, and gave to the President's re- marks in the message on the subject of filibus- tering and the vielations of those laws, the reference proposed by the honorable chairman of the Ways and Means committee, proves that we were correct in declaring, some days since, that the project of opposition to the policy of the Governmont in this connection, had really Ro practical strength. It is now admitted by all here that so far as this deliberate and well-considered action of the House may be regarded as the verdict of the country—and we really can conceive of no other so unerring criterion by which to judge the opinion of the public—the President's man- ly, just, and patriotic policy with reference to the duty of the United States towards the other and weaker American Governments, has been overwhe|mingly sustained by the country. It is well that this issue has been so promptly got out of the way, that business of pressing importance: may oceupy its legitimate place before Congress. Tar Exteapition or FRANK ANDERSON AND Bis Macvravpine Baxy.—It turns out that in- stead of being ¢aptured by Capt. Sands, of the U. 8. steam frigate Susquehanna, Frank An- derson and his murdering, robbing and burn- ing followers applied to that officer to save them from the tender mercies of the Central American troops, by whom they would other- wise have surely been immolated. Thus An- derson sent a messenger to Captain Sanda, asking him to receive them on board his ship. Capt. S. consented, and Anderson before going down the river to be “captured,” destroyed the fort. (Castillon) cattle, cannon, the steamer Virgin, and, in fact, everything likely to be of any use to anybody, within his reach. After such an exploit, it was a pity that Capt. Sands did not leave him to be dealt with by the laws of the country he had thus outraged, all sensi- ble and right thinking people will doubtless agree. His conduct, so wanton, reckless, and disgraceful to the name of the United States, in behalf of whose principles it was impudently essayed. was a fitting finale of the career of Walker and his followers. A pretty set, truly. to find apologists. Tue Doorkeerenr’s Appointuexts—Some time since we mentioned that the Doorkeeper of the House had made a clean sweep of all the host employed under him—a small army. To-day we are able to publish a list of his prin- cipal appointments to fill the vacancies thus created. In addition to those named below, he has also filled a large number of minor places with new incumbents—under messengers, la- borers, pages, fc. We published, loug since, a list of bis appointments of pages. On the pay-roll. all those named below are classed as messengers, thougi some of them fill what have come to be important clerkships, while others are really assistant doorkeepers. The record keeps up the nomenclature of the ear- lier days of the Government, though the changes wrought by time have entirely modi- fied the duties of nearly all whose names will be found in the following list of appointments referred tu above 5S. Alburtis, D.C; E. F. Campbell, N. Y.; Jared Dodd. N. Y.; U. Truesdell, N. Y.; P. Koiley, N. ¥.; Jos. L. Wright, N. J.; J. L. Reily, Pa.; B. 3. Schoonover, Pa.; Jas. Burt- nett, J. S. Weiler, Pa; A. D. Simms, Va.; Geo. Murphy, Va.; Chas. H. Hudgins, Va; A. B. Morton, Ky.; F. Perry, Ky.; J. D. Hendley, Gia.; W. P. Bell, N. C.; Wash. Til- Jey, Ala.; Jaz. Owner, S. C.; Israel Brown, Obio; Michael French, Tenn ; Thos. O. Oliver, Tenn.; Jas. J. Durham, Miss.; Smoot, Ark.; 8. V. Hunter, Ky.; S. MeJunkin, Ga.; Lewis Evans, Ohio; 8. G. Hyde, Oregon. Tae AxexpueNr Avorrep.—The amend- ment to the resolution from the Ways and Means Committee referring to the Judiciary Committee of the House so much of the annual Message as treats of the neutrality law and fil- ibustering, which was adopted yesterday— which said amendment makes it the duty of the committee to inquire into and report on the expediency of amending the neutrality laws— evidently looks to the expediency of making the said jaws more stringent and effective. It Was supported and passed by the votes of those who throughout the Jate discussion took strong grounds against sympathy with filibustering, direet or indirect, and was urged on the ground of the inefficiency of the laws in question as they stand on the statute-Look APPOINTMENTS LY THE PRESIDENT.—By and with the advice and consent of the Sen- «te —Francis W.

Sexsizie Virws.—Below we copy a brief article from the Pennsylvanian on the condi- tion of affairs in Kansas, because its sugges- tions are full of common sense. We may not insert it in the Star, however, without expres- sing our present belief that what that journal terms ‘‘the free State party’’ is destined to de- feat there whenever Kansas becomes a State. It is only lately that we have come to this con- clusion. Our opinion is, now, that the humbug of auti-African slavery in that Territory is near its end. Be that as it may, however, when Kansas becomes a State of the American Union we are perfectly willing to bow to what- ever a majority of her citizens may determine as to their own future institutions. The ques- tion in issue will then be theirs alone, and the quicker they can make it theirs only, the bet- ter for the peace of the rest of the Union: “ The vital policy of the National Administra- tion touching the affairs of Kansas is, that a Prompt aduission of the State presents the only certain and safe solution of the protracted and unbappy imbroglio. Ail procrastinations are fraught with hazard and mischief. If ever the Maxim that ‘delays are dangerous’ is to have a striking illustration, it would be furnixhed in the case of Kansas. The most studious reflection we can give the yep taking our impressions from experience and the position of men and parties in the Territory, impress us forcibly with the belief that the unhappy struggle should be terminated Tight speedily, for the sake of Kansas, the country and the Democratic party. What is the remedy for the evils complained of? ‘I'he election on the 4th ultimo, for state officers, held under the au- thority of the Lecompton Constrtution, manifests most clearly that the true and only remedy is with the people of Kansas themseleex. The free- State pa ty, in their Convention, have declared theic determination to take charge of the new State government as organized under the Lecomp- ton Constitution, on the ground that they can aud will call another convention and change the Cou- stitution so faras it may be obje. tionabie to them. * This is their right and duty, and this course presents the legal and peaceful settlement of the whole question of a State Government for Kan- sas. Ic isa far better “enabling act’ than any memuver of the Senate can devise, and will most certainly settle the troubles in Kansas, and pre- serve entire the doctrine of nou-intervention, for which the Demorratic party has been contending Itis deeply to bs regretted that this resolve on the part of the Free State men of Kansas had not an earlier birth. They have too long listened to the councils of demayoyuex to the detriment of the interests of the Territory and the peace of the Union. **Oue other significant fact connected with these proceedings is that the Free State party of Kansas do not recognize the ground taken by some claiming to be their friends in Congress, that they will have no right to change their Con- stitution up to 1564, should the State be admitted. ‘They not only say that they will have the right, bat that they will do the deed.” Intkxestixc Aruy Onvers.—The follow- ing General Orders have been published : General Sees Headquarters of the Army, No.2. New York, Jan. 14, 1857. I. The four Companies of the Ist Dragoons now stationed in the Department of New Mexico, are transferred to the Department of the Pacitic. The General commanding the Departinent of New Mexico will, as soon after the receipt hereof as the necessary arrangements can be made, and the season will permit, either abandon Fort Bu- chan: pr relieve the dragoons now ‘stationed there, as shall, in bis judgment, be best for ser- vice; and make all necessary provision and give all needful orders, for the march of the dragoons to Fort Yuma, and for the care of the public pro- rty, & , which itimay be found necessary to [eaxe behind ‘The General Commanding the Department of Pacifie will take care to sead ordeis to Fort Yu- ma, giving such further instructions to these com- panies as to theirstations, the routes they are to take to them, and the supplies to be furnished, &e., as he may deem necessary. ‘The means of transportation taken from Fort Buchanan to Fort Yuma, will not be sent back. but will also be transferred to the Department of the Paritie 11. So much of the Military Department of Utah as lies west of the 117th degree of longitude, will be included in the Department of the Pacitic. lll. The pamphlet entitled “Rules for the Management and Cleaning of the Rifle Musket, mode! of 1555, for the use of the Soldiers’’ adopt- ed by the War Department for the government of the U.S. troops, will be considered ponte prop- erty, and borne on returns accordingly By command of Brevet Lieutenant-General Seott: Iavin McDowet., Assistant Adjutaat-General A Misraxe.—The Tribune and its political confreres that are hoping from the tact that Governor Brown of Mississippi, on Monday last, declined for the time being to continue his speech on the Kansas question, that the South- ern members of the Senate are disposed to cease their advocacy of the admission of Kan- sas on the Lecompton Constitution, are entire- ly mistaken. Governor Brown declined to speak only because he was not well enough to encounter the fatigue of such an undertaking. Tie Tréhune and its confreres will find that the Lecompton Constitution will pass the or- deal of the Senate in double quick time. Nor Yer Ovr or tuk Woovs.—Last night it being rumored that in the course of the afternoon the Senate had confirmed all the officers renominated in accordance with the recommendations of the courts wartial, there was great rejoicing among them and their per- sonal friends. This morning, however, it turns out that but few of them have so far been cun- firmed, the cases of most of them being under investigation before the Senate’s Naval Com- mittee. It is to be hoped that Mr. Bocuck’s proposition, made to the House to-day, may be adopted, otherwise infinite trouble and indefi- nite delay will be the result. Tue Awerican Survey ov the [stuns or Daniex.—The Navy Department have advices of the arrival of the U.S. surveying schooner Varina, Lieut. Craven commanding, in the Gulf of Darien on the 2d December, ult. Lt. C. immediately commenced operations, and on the Sth ult. was almost ready to begin to ascend the Atrato, leaving in the vessel a sufficient force under Acting Master Bradford, who was to prosecute the survey in Lieut. C.’s absence. Wm. Huntress, boatswain’s mate of the Va- rina, died on the 24 December, of erysipelas. Desratcues rromw Comwopong Paupixe reached the Navy Department this morning. It is understood that they will be laid before the Cabinet in the course of the day. Kansas —The message of Governor Denver to the Legislature, (we learn by telegraph) ascribes the animosity and bitter feeling existing in the ‘Territory more to personal hostility than political consideration, He refers to the action of the cit- izens of Nebraska as worthy of imitation by the people of Kansas He draws attention to the se- cond section ofthe schedule of the Lecompton Constitution, advising the avoid ince of leyisla- timuntil the action of Congess is ascertaine for, should Kansas be admitted under that consti- tution all the acts of the Legislature will be nul- Iifled. He recommends eatly attention to the colicetion of a revenue for the building of a pri- son. He alludes to the :mor of the existence of an organization similar to the Danites of Utah, and advises action with reference thereto. Other suggestions relative to the amending of the elec- tion laws, the protection of the school lands, ete. are made. spe ees genet SL a 17 It is mentioned that Mr. Phipps, of Haw- kius county, Tenn., realized this year an iucome of $20,000 Irom the labor of his fifty negroes, or $100 to each negro, The cost of supporting the negroes is not over $50 per year eac seleaving a net iuoome of $350 to the owner from each. CONGRESSIONAL. Thirty-tifth Congress—First Session. In THe Sewane, yesterday, after we went to press, the bill for the relief of Wm. K. Jennings and others was passed. They next went into executive session, at the conclusion of which they adjourned. Is THE Hovsg, in the Committee of the Whole Mr. Stephens concluded his speech: against the Sth section of the neutrality law. Mr. Blair then delivered a speech in favor of colonizing Central America with free negroes from the United States. Various amendments to the pens resolution to refer the portion of the President’s annual mes- sage concerning the neutrality laws filibus- tering to the Judiciary Committee, were then voted on, all of which were rejected except one directing the said Committee to report on the fpr J of amending the neutrality laws, which was adopted by a vote of 89 ayes to 37 noes. As thus amended the original resolution re- po olf Mr. J. Glancy Jones, of Pa., was then udopted. The question shortly afterwards being on the 12th resolutioa of the series reported by Mr. J. Glancy Jones,<f Pa., to refer so much of the an- nual m e as relates to the Pacific railroad to the Roads and Canals Committee, Mr. Phelps moved, as a substitute for it, one referring that portion of the message to a select committee of fifteen, to be appointed by the Speaker, which was debated by Messrs. Phelps, Jones of Tennessee, Cobb, Washburne of Maine, Smith of (linvis, Scott, Covode, Taylor of New York, ere the Committee rose and the House ad- journed. Proceedings of To-day. Tuk Senate were not in session to-day, having adjourned over until Monday. Ix THe House, after the reading of the journal— Mr. Bocock moved to take up the Senate joint resolution to extend the time wherein the vacan- cies in the naval service proposed to be filled by the President’s recent recommendation ef the re- tired and dropped officers on whose cases the courts martial recently in session here had acted favorably will continue to exist Mr. B. explained that unless the said joint res- olution be at once passed, the naval nominations now before the Senate would be of noavail. + Mr. Jones, of ‘Tennessee, being CL oiaaes io any increase of the officers of the navy, objected. Mr. Burnett moved a resolution authorizing the emp oyment of a stenographer by the xelect coim- mittee to investigate the facts connected with the various sales of the Fort Snelling property of the Government; agreed to. Mr. Houston reported, from the Judiciary Com- mittee, a resolution authorizing them to send for persons and papers, in relation to the charges against Judye Watrous of Texas; agreed to. 1t was then moved that, when they adjourned to-day, they should adjourn over until jonday next; not agreed to—yeas 74, nays 104. Mr. Stanton asked leave to offer a resolution for aselect committee of tive to investigate whether any officer or member of the last House was iin plicated in the alleged use of $79,000 of the $57,000 said to have been disbursed by the Mid- dlesex Manufacturing Company to procure the passage of a law giving increased protection te American manufacturex, urged before the last Congress; and also another select committee to investigate in accordance with the report of the tirstone proposed. Mr. Stanton was addressing the House in favor of these resolutions as the Star went to press, contending that the allegations making these proposed investigations necessary, were founded, noton mere rumor, but on the formal report of a committee that had investigated the affairs of the said Middlesex Company. Mr. S. urged that bis first proposed committee Was necessary ax a sort of grand jury to bring in the indictment, and he propoxed to have its acts governed by such forms as govern those of grand Juries, while the committee trying the charges it might bring in should be governed by rules which govern trials before petit juries. LATER FROM CALIFORNIA. Arrival of the Steamer Star of the West. Tue ARREST OF ANDERSON AND His MEN The United States mail steamship Star of the West, AG Gray, Exq., commander, left Aspin- wall January 4, at’ 30 p.m, and arrived at New Yerk on Wednesday night. She experienced very heavy heavy head winds anda bad sea in crossing the Carribbean. She brings the California mails of December 21, $1,607,440 in treasure on freight, and 187 pas- sengers During the two werks which have elapsed since the departure of the last mail steamer, eo- ious rains, have continued to fall all over the State The farmers are already busily employed in plowing and sowing, and as there is little dam- age done by wiuter frosts, there need be no ap- prehension entertained from their otherwise pre- mature labors At the Government Works at Mare Island great activity prevails. ‘The steamer Senator {s now on the dry dock undergoing repairs ‘The tenes | are being graded for new edifices, and two o three large buildings are in process of erection.

Miss Emma Stanley is performing at Maguire's. A street aitray occurred in Sacramento, on the Wth, between Charles A. Sumner, editor of the Republican paper, and Henry Shipley of the State Journal. ‘The former, who is a relative of Hon. Charles Sumner, of Boston, was very badly beaten. The accounts of the capture of Col. Anderson and the idue of Walker's marauding force, by Ca 's, of the United States steam frigate Susquehanna, are not very clear, and jit seems dithcult to determine whether it was an arrest or a voluntary surrender. Anderson abandoned Castillo, after wantonly destroying all the pro perty within bis reacli, and coming down the river when intercepted by Capt. Sands. An- derson and bis men are understood to be now on board the steamer Wabash. Dr. Hawley, one of Col. Anderson's ofticers, has made a statement of the affair, which appears to Lave been very simple. He ae “© On December 13, we were informed by a Col Rogers of the arrest of Gen. Walkerand his ‘men, and their return to the ted States.

We stopped miles above Grey- town, on the San Juau river, where we awere visited Dec. 4, by Capt. Joshua R. Sands. At eleven o'clock a man-of-war boat under hix com- mand with a force of marines, from the United States frigate Susquehanna, put off from the steamer Morgan. When about 300 yards off, he need bowing very politely. “When Capt. % approached us, he asked ‘who was our mnander? Col. Andrson replied * he was.” After which Captain 8. replied, + will you come on board, sir?’? Col. Anderson weut on board of the Morgan alone, was asked on the upper deck, and, in the presence of three of hix officers, the follow) logue took place: Capta —Well, how are you getting along up here Colonel A.—Very well. Captain S —I’ve come up to take you. Colofel A.—Have you orders from Commodore Paulding ? tain $.—No, sir, the departinent. Colonel A —I think I am out of your juris- diction.

Captain Sands then came on board the Ogden, and left soon, roan d he would send an engineer and pilot on board, get up steam and take us down.

Anderson, tinding binself closely pressed, and likely to be more so, his stores being short, prepared the steamer Ogden, embarked bis meu on ber, and then wrote to Captain Sands, axking his views in regard to his surrender, Captain Sands replied that he was ready to receive him and his men, if they came and delivered up their arms.

Colonel Anderson explains the matter of break- ing the maci liery of a steamer thus: He says he unscrewed the cylinder head, packed it into a box, and took it into the woods and hid it, so that toe “‘enemy’’ could not be able to use the steamer, as he expected Walker might be able to return, and would want ber himself. The news from the South Pacific is interesting. The revclutionary fictions in Pe u hed not mace any important demonstrations; but it was re- ported that Vivanco had despatched the frigate Apurimac to take jon of the Chinca Islands, and the guanospeculators were all wide awake for the event. From Utah, by way of California, we have later and interesting news. Brigham was still preach- ing against the United States and threatening to exterminate its forces The Los Angelos Star states that the Mormon army bas been greatly over-estimated ; that the whole force feil short of 10,000 men, and that it is in a very poor condition, oa clothed, poorly armed and with wary ttle rovisions. It would seem to be the intention of the Mor- mons, in the event of theirdefeat, to burn up and destroy everything in the Territory and retire to some other place. ENDORSEMENT OF THE ADMINISTRATION.—The Ohio Legislature have passed resolutions expres- sing confidence inthe administration; affirming the Cincinnati platform; declaring the refusal of the Lecompton convention tosubmit the constitu- tion to the people as unwise and unfortunate for peace of Kansas; instructing the Senators of the State and requesting the Representatives to vote against the Lecompton constitution, or any other constitution not a clear expression of the will of the people.
