The Union of this morning denies, point black, a statement put forth in the New York Herald that‘‘the new appeal board, established by the Commissioner of Patents, but not yet sanctioned by Congress, have granted to Munn & Co., of the Scientific American, to secure the influence of that paper, some sixty patents, upon applications related Judge Mason, many of which are believed to be direct infringe- ments or evasions of existing patents, valued at many millions of dollars.”” The Union gives facts and figures to effectually disprove the al- Jegation and says: Pie. this Prreacsgrting y Meta pak Pormopiarrthiget : dismissed by the Commissioner for agrosa breach * of official duty, and that since then the office has been assailed by petty and malignant calumnies, such as we have brand:d above.

Tas Frxances or Viroixta—We are ia- debted to some unknown friend at Richmond for a copy of a very’ on present condition of Virginia's (State) - cial affairs, bearing date Feb. 8th ult. [tie from the pen of that worthy scion of a usefa honorable and honored gtock for generati past, James Batbour, -) the’ delegate from. Culpeper. It is of general public interest from the fact its figures prove that there is no other State of the Confederacy whose financial affairs are in a healthier condition, notwithstanding Virginia has for seme years has been leading the van in the matter of developing her resources by the construction of internal improvements, which, when finished, as very few of them are yet, will go far towards relieving her citizens from any taxation whatever. Our limits forbid ex- tensive quotations from this important and in- teresting paper, though we cannot resist the temptation to republish for the benefit of our readers dealing at times in stocks and bonds, the peroration of the report, as follows : The Commonwealth has acquired and now holds and stocks amounting to $30,199,469.53. Of this amount the Second Auditor has classed as Productive $1,845,855.79, placing in this class only those upon which interest was actually re- ceived during the last year. Tothis amount may be added about $3,000,000, which will ey piece tive in this or the ensuing tiscal year he bal- ance of the $30,199,469.53 consists of stocks in internal improvement companies. Of the stocks classified by the Second Anditor as unproductive, $13,744 ,U61 consist of stocks held by the Commonwealth ia railroad companies. vary few of our railroads have been completed, and no dividends can be derived fiom those which are not completed. Of the value of these stocks, however, we may form an estimate from the fact that individuals and corporations have invested two dollars for every three dollars in- vested by the State, with the exception of abont three millions, which have been expended upon State works. If the expectations of those who are more im- mediately interested in these companies shall be realized, most of them, when completed, will y-eld the State a return upon her investment, and will then con‘ribute directly to the relief of the tax payers. The treasury of the State derives no inconsiderable benefit from our internal improve- ments, apart from what we may receive merel asastockholder. An increased value is impar' to the property of the country penetrated by these works. The recent axsessment shows that the value of the reai estate inthe Commonwealth. ax assessed for taxation in 1556. exceeds the assessed value in 1350 by the sum of $98,713,969. An fn- crease of 35 per cent. has thus been realized with- in the short period of six years. Our annual official returns exhibit a steady increase in the assessed valuation of our other property, and in our free and slave population. These results afford gratifying testimony that the policy heretofore pursued by this Comimon- wealth bas not injuriously atfected the interests of her citizens, but bas contributed to enhanc? their property and strengthen theirnumbers. As an illustration of the extent to which our invest- ments in the stocks of internal improvement com- panies have contributed to enhance the value of taxable property, a reference to a table will show that in fourteen counties within the influence of the Virginia and Tennessee railroad (ue assessed value of real estate has increased from $19,449,- 882 n 1850 to $36,294,416 in 1856. affording an ad- dition to the taxable value of rea! estate within six years of 816,515,931. ‘The increased valua- tien of real estate in these fourteen counties ix 36 per cent., and constitutes move than one-sixth of the increase in the assessed value of all the real estate in this Commonwealth. It is fair to estimate that a similar increase in the values of other taxable property has been experienced in the same counties. In these fourteen counties deriving from our present tax on the valae added to real estate since 1550 annual rev- enue of $67,379 60. The whole outstanding debt of this State amounts, Ja round numbers, to $27,000,000. The State owns boud< and Stocks, as before stated, to the amount of $30,000,000. The taxable property of the State, at its assessed valuation, amounts to nearly $600,000,000. Our annual revenue under existing laws is sufficient to defray the current expenses of the bit ae to pay the annual interest on our existing debt, and a sinking fund sufficient to redeem the principal within thirty- four years, and after the close of the next fiscal year, will leave an annual surplus of $1,000,000. Tax Soutn Pass Wacgon-roap Expsp1 r1oy, &c.,&c.—By a private letter from & gentle- man of the party, we are enabled to lay before our readers the following intelligence from the camp of the South Pass Wagon-road expedi- tion, on Wind river, received by the last ar- rival from the plains : This camp is about tuirty-five miles from the South Pass, in a due northerly direction. It is called Fort Thompson; ‘xo styled in compliment to the Secretary of the Interior. It is 2,000 feet lower than the ith P; Rocky Ridge, a long spur of the Wind-river mountains, divides it fcom the Pass. It ratns at the camp on Wind river when it snows on Rocky Ridge, over which the Utah army was compelled to pass to get to Ham's Fork and Port Bridger. After crossing Rocky Ridge, the army was compelled to pass ninety miles over sand plains without grass Wind river is in the Buttslo country, and is the favorite wintering yround of the eastern Shosho- nee Indians. Here it was that Chief Engineer La d-r, of the wazon-road expedition, Proposed witering b vance party, had not the main expedition arrived. Superintendent Magraw, who was at this camp when the advance party of exploring engineers left for the Siates, xoon afterwa ds joined the Utabarmy. A> took with bim many of bis men as volunteers, and over one hundred of tue best mules, a third pa:t of which have since died of exposure and from want of grass. The weaker animals were placed in charge of fuurteen men at Wind river. A log house was built, contain- ing seven comfortable rooms; a five corral was e-ected, and on December Sth, the dite of our correspondent’s letter, with the exception of two men who had left camp to convey sait to the Utab army, the litte party remained comfortably housed and the one hundred mules were all alive A ‘day feed” of bunch grass bad been sufficient tu keep the latter in good order, and they were nightly corraled. Some apprehensionx were en tertained of an attack from the Coow lodians ; but the chiefs of the Shoshonees, encamped with their tribe at a short distance from Fort Thomp- son, had promised to guard the herd of animals and protect the party. A ‘cess to th s camp is easy f om the States, and Passage can be made from it to Bear river valley and the Great Salt Lake, north of the Wind river mountains, by the plains of the Great Snake river. B_ F. Ficklin, a member of Lander’s advance exploring party, had gone from the head quarters of the army to the Flat Head country by the line of valleys which extend from Wind River north. His trip would be hazardous until reaching the Saake River, after which the whole country is oven. Ficklin was accompanied by Ned Wil- it.mson, a mountaineer and a member of Lan- d-r’s purty of last year. when the upper passes of the Wabsatch Range were explored. The line of conntry followed by Ficklin is grassed through- out the year and rarely covered with snow. ‘tie will return by the old route described by Father Desmet. The chief difficulty to be apprehended is the waylaying of his return train by the Sal- mon river Mormons and by the predatory bands of Blackfeet Indians. As there is very little snow Letween Fort La- ram e and Snuke River, north of the Wind River mountains, thongh the pass called the Buffalo pit aud from Saake River to Salt Lake, wagon tralus can pass over open prairies throughout the year. The most experienced n oaniaineers think this the proper route for au overland railroad, and for the wagon road now being built through the Scuth Pass. As Lient. Bryan’s toad through B idger’s or Cheyenne Pass is secant of grass and water, this is also believed to be the best route for the passaze of the re-inforcements for the Ucab army. The chief reascns given for it by our corres. pendent being the fact that the reinforcements could mareb over broad open plains znd effect a junction with columns of troops from Oregon or California, without oe exposed in mountain fistnesses to the guerrilla bands of Mormons; and that the concentiation or wintering of large forces of men can take, ere without difficulty th ongh the regions north of latitude 43° 30. All these matters are worthy of inquiry, and especially, whether the northern and central emi- giation, which now goes through the Scuth Pas», can be changed to a route north of Wind River mountains, and thus placed beyond the line of Mormon hostilities. The facts of the preserva- tion of the mules of the wagon expedition and the loss of stock of the army are arguments in favor of tt.e more northern route. A Provixctay.—The New York Times ins late moral law disquisition upon that nation- ality of ours, the conspicuous publis. bar room of each of the American hotel s—protesting against the idea that the bar-room is a mor: 1 nuisance in its own city—says : “It is not in New York that the bar-room is our monster nuisance ; it is in our national me+ trop »lis where the institution rises to this degree of magnitade. It is therea nuisance of the first order, and one which can only be abated by bly-inelined men resolving not to f. juent it. Jt may be extremely difficult to do this in Washington, which has no other of pnblic resort where strangers cau and transact their , OF exe! ehyilities ; but if the well-disposed and all who havea proper suas appreciation of th t were to abstain from entering such places it would lead to the estab- lisha bt h ment , or aclub room of some find ation ‘would supersede the bar-room as a place of resort.’ n thern Indiana (adjoining Congrese— First Session. , Mr. Hemmond con of the admission of report closed.

The Senate then adjeareed til Monday. Ix tn Hovse,the consideration of Mr. Hoa:d’s Tesolution for the appointment of an investigat- ing committee respecting the charges that the President was using the Executive patronage to affect the action of members on the Kansas ques- tion, was continued until after our re; closed. Mr. Burns, of Onio—the member implicated in the charges referred to—having also submitted a resolution providing that an investigation into the matter be instituted. Mr. Hoard accepted the resolutionof Mr Burns as 2 substitute for his own Mr. Nichols, of Ohio, said that the call for an investigation was based on ap + big poe aged gr agraph, which it was beneath the dignity of the House to notice. He was, therefore, op to it. Asforthe charge that bis colleague, with whom be differed politically, was «triving to ob- tain the Marshalship of Northern Ohio, this he knew to be unfounded, as Mr. B. was the friend of another gentleman for that very position. He moved to lay the subject on the table This motion prevailed by a vole of—yeas #2, nays 82 The consideration of the Army Bill was then resumed, when Mr es briefly urged the pacsage of the bill, and spoke in strong commendatory terms of the volunteer system. Without fuitber action on the subject the House adjourned. The truth is, the bad liquor sold in an ordi- nary Broadway fiash: drinking house in a day, would well nigh float all the Washington city bar rooms for a.week. Here, as there, they are for the most part the resort of strangers— of whom we usually have more than our legiti- mate proportion according to population—and young men about town. Our business fellow- citizens and strangers whose tastes do not lead them to such places, quite as rarely enter a Washington bar room as similar classes in New York enter such places there—quite as rarely. The Times to the contrary notwithstanding, every Washington Hotel, great or small, po- sesses ample accommodations fur meeting to fulfill business engagements, for conversation, lounging or what not, possessed by the Hotels of New York or any other American city; while the elegant places of common resort, withont charge, for both ladies and gentlemen —public libraries, picture galleries, institu- tions, public grounds, &c., with which Wash- ington is adorned and graced, in interest, ex- tent, magnificence, and other agreeable and desirable attributes, greatly outnumber, and are greatly superior to those of New York or any other American city, in proportion to pop- ulation.

The Pennsylvania Democratic members of Congress who mada the grave mistake on the resolution of Mr. Harris, of Illinois, by this time comprehend that to follow the iguzs fatnus further, will surely lead them into the Republican party ranks.
