The Uuton this morning pokes deliberate fun at Senator Doolittle and bis late Kansas speech. Upon the question of reinforcing the Army. the Union urges that “with thirty millions of people and an enrolled militia numbering one million and a half, it would seem not only out of place to object to a standing force of scarcely more than fifteen thousand men, to be employed on five thousand miles of Indian frontier, but, we bad almost said, supremely absurd and Yidieulous.”” The Intellrgencer has no editorial to-day. —— I~ We have accounts from almost every sec- Mon of the country of the gradual revival of busi- ness.

On their disembarkation they were escorted by one of the members of the New York Board of Alder- men to the quarters which the Committee of the Common Council bad provided in the St. Nicho- Jas Hotel. Being assigned their rooms at the hotel, they ordered refreshments, and the Alder- man, after ordering a fire in the parlor of the suite of rooms provided for them and remaining a few minutes to ascertain that they were comfortable, took his leave.

Tue New District Marsmar, &c.—The news of the nomination of Col. William Selden to be the United States Marsal for this District, made yesterday (and published im about two- thirds of our edition of the day,) eame like a clap of thunder upon most of the supporters of the aspirations of the other contestants for the office, numbering hundreds (not the edntest- ants, we are happy to be able to say,) among the active Democratic politicians of the Fed- eral Metropolis. It of course gladdened those (the friends} of the victor, who are quite as numerous as were, those of either rival, quite as much as it disappointed the former. The patronage of the United States. Marshalship of the District of Columbia is perhaps greater than that of any other Federal office in our midst, which fairly accounts for the greater ex- citement with reference to it than concerning the filling of all the rest of the local offices here in the President's gift. Col. Selden isa gentleman of high character, and has been an active, earnest and most effi- cient Democrat for nearly half acentury. He held the post of Treasurer of the United States for many years, giving entire satisfaction in that position. We have no citizen among us of higher personal character in all respects, and none more universally respected and esteemed by all classes of the people of the District of Columbia, with whom he has been identified for at least twenty years, if not longer. With these facts before them, the distant public will comprehend that no better selection for the im- portant place of United States Marshal of the District of Columbia could have been made by President Buchanan. Except those who may have been directly or indirectly personally disappointed in this case we know well that our whole community ac- quiesce cheerfully and thoroughly in what the President has thought it his duty to do in the premises. Mr. Wm. Flynn, the newly appointed Navy Agent, is a gentleman in all respects qualified for the post, an old resident of Washington, a working and never flinching Democrat, who deserves as well from his party as any man in thiscommunity. We congratulate him on his good fortune, and know that our sentiment in his case is heartily shared by nine-tenths of his fellow Democrats of the District of Colum- bia. Our earnest wish is, that our new City Post- master, District Marshal and Navy Agent may severally discharge the duties of their respec- tive offices as satisfactorily to the public, and as well for the interests over which they are to guard, as their predecessors—Messrs. J. G. Berrett, J. D. Hoover and A. C. Greenleaf— did; than whom no community ever had better tederal officers. With examples such as theirs in the memory of the public, the new incum- bents will have difficult tasks before them. We recommend the practice of patience, good temper and graceful acquiesence—those model christian virtues—to the defeated, either for these offices or others in their gift. Mepicar Corps or Tar Navy.—In the Bal- timore Sux of yesterday morning, (the 9th inst.,) in an article headed ‘‘Naval Statistics,” the number of ‘‘ Surgeons ranking with Lieu- tenants’’ is erroneously stated to be 64. The true number is 28. The following is a correct statement of the Medical Corps of the Navy, and will exhibit the urgent demand for an increase of its num- bers : Surgeons of all ranks, whole number. 69 Of these permanently disqualitied fro: by age and infirmity 10 Whole effective number.. 59 Passed and other Assistants, Permanently disabled. Effective number. 73 Whole effective strength of Medical Corps.. 13 Axa general rule, it may be stated that the ser- Vices of a Surgeon are required wherever a Com- manding Officer is stationed, yet the number of Captains and Commanders on the active list i ++ 182 59 Whole number of surgeons fit for duty The number of ships in the Navy of asizeto require Surgeons is. 6 Hospi the Posts for Surgeoi for Assistants, vessel shore stations. ‘Total posts for Medical Officers W hole effective strength of Corp: Under these circumstances, is it not strange that Congress should hesitate to grant what - every succeeding Secretary for many years has asked for, and what their own committees have more than once reported necessary, viz: Some small addition to the number of medical officers in the Navy? This is not true economy. It is bad policy to render any branch of the publie service so oppressive that many members of it shall be constantly seeking the means of leav- ing it. Under these circumstances the best men are likely to have the opportunity offered them of doing better, while those who reiain are by no means rendered more valuable to the Government by the knowledge on their part that they do not receive a just degree of con- sideration. The recent increase of the rank and file of the Marine Corps and of the shipped men of the Navy, the’building of many new steamers, each requiring two or more medical officers, and the large addition to the effective number of Captains. Commanders and Lieutenants, by the operation of the retired list, have all con- spired to render the disproportionately small number of medical officers of the Navy more marked. We are now arriving at that point when ships must be sent to sea without Surgeons, unless Congress shall increase their number, or.else confer upon the individuals composing the corps that power of being in two places at once, which Mickey Free declares no man can exer- cise, ‘‘ barring he were a bird.” Tae Ontcaco-Postuaster Question. — A special correepondent of the New York Tribune telegraphs to that journal, under date of the 7th instant, as follows ; ‘* The impression prevails here that the Illinois Legisiature will not relinquish their jurisdiction over Mr. Postmaster Cook’s sale for thé Post- Office enlargement of Chicago, merely to satisfy tue Amount of his defalcation. The Senate had therefore better not confirm his nomination under that expectation.”’ Now, the plain English of this dispatch is, that the opposition to Mr. Cook’s confirmation, which took place yesterday, was narrowed down to the fact that the Legislature of Illinois have not yet relinquished jurisdiction to the United States over the lot sold by him some time since to the Government, the purchase moncy of which went in the settlement of his account as the former Postmaster of the same city, to liqui- psa balance due to the U.S. Trdasury on e settlement of his affairs with the P that an effort was designed to have been mad: induce the Legislature of Illinois to refuse the requisite relinqujshment of juriedicti: n, ip order to prevent his confirmation—a game so small in principle, that weare persuaded no half dozen Senatots of the United States, of any party, would lend it their countenance. Politics would, indeed, be tending toe very low ebb in this country if the Legislature of a State of the American Union. could be induced to act on # question of the cevsion of jurisdio- ee ee ‘tion of a piece of property necessary for a pub- lie buill = in order to affect the question of the tion of a post office nomination, which, it seems, opuld not be plausibly opposed, onany ind. That the opposition to Mr. | Cook's nomination should have so soon resolved itself to a struggle on such a ground, is proof positive of the fact that the removed onslaught of Senator Douglas upon the character of Mr C. had little other warrant than his personal hostility to that gentleman. It is sincerely to: be regretted that the executive sessions of the Senate can possibly be used after that fashion, but we really see no remedy for the evil, which is, however, of very rare occurrence. — | Tax Prorositiox to RENEW THE SLavE Trape.—Below will be found a communication from an able writer, who i: trong advocate for this proposition. We publish it as illustra- tive of the views on which its friends base its justification. . Of course it has few friends in- deed, in this region : [communica te. New Aspxct oF tue Stavury Question. — The North begins to feel, to see and te under- stand that the abolition of negro slavery in Mex- ico, the West Indies and South America, has diminished greatly the supply and increased the Price of Southern slave products—such as cotton, sugar, rice, molasses, tobacco, coffee, &c.; and also that it bas diminished the demand and mar ket for Northern manufactures, commerce, mer- chandise, &c.; and is daily throwing out of em- ployment and starving thousands of white labor- ers in Europe and America. France and England see, feel and comprehend, also, these disastrous effects of negro emancipation, and are busily remedying their errors by the importation of hundreds of thousands of Coolies and African apprentices to supply the increased demand for slave labor and tropical products. The procedure is ten times more cruel. than the old orthodox African slave trade, and wholly inadequate to supply its place. In America, a rapidly-growing disposition to return to the old slave trade is evinced, North and South. It is trae, the term « wd chart is employed, but it is used deris- ively and ironically. We expect soon to sec the North and North- west, and such portions of the South as are illy supplied with negroes, the open advocates of the revival of this trade. The wealthy planters and farmers along the Atlantic coast wiil, possibly, oppose it, for it would soon reduce the price of negroes from one thousand to one hundred dol- lars ahead. We cannot conceive that after the subject is duly discussed it will meet with oppo- sition from any other quarter, for it will greatly promote tue well-being of all other sections and classes in the Union, and experience demonstrates is liable to no objections on the score of humanity. Indeed, by suppressing and extinguishing the apprentice and coolie trides it will prove emi nenotly humanitarian. Even tie farmers and plan- ters of eastern Virginia, eastern North Carolina, South Carolina aud Georgia will tind themselves. recompensed fur the diminished and slave products in the increased price of their lands, and in the political security which the proposed measure will occasion. The Northwest (including western New York and western Penn- sylvania) as they are agricultural countries, may become slaveboiding with negroes at a hundred dollars around At all events, they cannot shut their eyes to the mighty increase of wealth and general prosperity that the extension of slave territory and increase of the number of slaves will occasion, nor to the ruinous consequences that must result from ex- tending free territory, increasing the supply of the prccutte of free labor, diminishing the mar- ket for those supplies, and at the same time in- crearing the price and diminishing the supply of slave products. Civilized Christendom, with- in the last three centuries, has made cotton, su- gar, molasses, rice, tobacco, cotton, &c., necessa- ries of life, and for tbe last half century has been busy in starving itself by liberating the negroes and thus cutting otf the supply of those necessa- ties. We know we do not exaggerate when we assert that negro emancipation bas, for twenty years past, starved to death a million whites an- nually. We rejoice to see that in Europe and America men are getting tired of this Starving process, which makes idle savages of the liber- ated negroes. and brings about coulie and appreu- tice trades, great!y more crue! than the old slave trade, whilst the’ attempt to suppress that trade O nly aggravates its horrors. F. rice of slaves APPOINTMENT OF CaDETS.—The following is the list of appointments by the President of the ten Cadets “‘at large’’ for 1858 : 1. George McKee, of Kentucky; whose fa- ther was killed in battle at Buena Vista, lead ing his regiment in the final conflict. 2. Samuel M. Mansfield ; son of Col. Mans- field, who was distinguished for gallant service at Fort Brown, at Monterey, where he was se- verely wounded, and at Buena Vista. 3. Singleton Van Buren ; son of Col. A. Van Buren, late of the Army, distinguished in the battle of Cerro Gordo, Contreras, and Churu- busco. 4. William 8S. Beche; who was adopted as the son of his uncle, Capt. Casey, during his life. An intelligent, zealous and highly meri- torious officer, who died in service in Florida. 5. George N. Bomford, son of Brevet Lt. Col Bomford, of the Army, distinguished for gallant conduct in the battles of Contreras and Churu- busco, with the storming party at the battle of Molino del Rey, and at the battle of Chepulte- 6. William H. Betts, son of Lieut. Betts, dis- tinguished and wounded in action at Fort Drane, Florida; from the effects of which he died. 7. Charles R. Suter, son of Assistant Surgeon Suter, formerly of the Army, who was distin- guished in the battle of Contreras, and died soon after in the City of Mexico. 8. William Bartlett, son of Professor Bart- lett, a zealous, accomplished, and highly val- uable officer of the Military Academy, who has contributed as much to the efficiency of the in- stitution as any officer connected with it. 9. Roland S. Mackenzie, son of the late Capt. Mackenzie of the Navy, who died in the ser- vice. 10. John R. Blocker, brother of Sergeant William Butler Blocker, who, from the wounds of his superiors, was in command of his com- pany at the battle of Gareta Belen, and was killed at the head of his company ; the cousin of Col. P. M. Butler, who was killed at the head of his regiment at Churubusco—of Whit- field G. Brooks, who died of wounds received at the same time and place—and of Richard Watson, who, after being twice wounded, was shot down in the storming party at Chepulte- pec. Nor Movep.—The motion to recommit the Kansas report of Mr. Stephens, of Ga., which Mr. Harris, of Illinois, had arranged with the opponents of the immediate admission of Kan- #as to make in the House hall, yesterday, was not made. It was, of course, to have embraced @ motion for instructions to the committee to report in favor of the views of the opposition on the subject. The cause of this failure was, evi- dently, neither more nor less than the now pal- pable fact that anti-Lecompton is in a minestly in the Hall, according to the private count of the friends of the gentleman who was to have made the motion. It is rumored this morning that it is certainly to be made to-day. We are, however, skeptical in this connection; our belief being that Mr. Harris will hardly find it advi- sable to venture an experiment that cannot fail, it seems to us, to demonstrate, past perad venture, that the House are determined to get rid of the Kansas question “immediately, if not sooner,”’ by admitting the Territory in‘o the Union without any more of the “ ifs and ands” with which the country bas been bedev- iled in that connection for years past. Navau Iereuiieexce.—The Navy Depart- ment is in Best Tedla Bee hes from Com. Araastrong, of East India Squadron, beating date at Hong Kong, December 28. ; Com. A. incloses the report of Brevet Capt. Simms of his proceedings at the island of For- mosa, This report is quite Lonathy, and gives detailed aceount of 8.’6 proceedings i The tutest: dispatch dated at Hong Kong, Des. 28, informs the Department that the edn. up the river off Cantos, and established th<ir head-quarters on the island of Houan, opposite that city,, att on tonwas daily on account of the removal there of the : ro a & revolt among the in- tants thére, and they have therefore, for- warded to Com. A., and through him to the Department, @ memorial asking that an Amer- igan vessel be sent thither for their protection. In answer to their request, Com. A. dispatched the U.S. ship Portamouth to that port. They also desire a steamer sent them to take them off to the Portsmoath in ease of an emetgency, but this request Com. A. refuses, as he is not endowed with authority to charter a steamer under the circumstances. Tas Messitua Vatier.—Letters received by the San Diego and San Antonia mail from the valley of the Rio Grande, state that the peopleof Messilla Los Cruces and Dona Ana, having heard that it is proposed to make such boundaries for the new Territory of Arizona as will still leave the lower Rio Grande at- taghed to New Mexico, have held public meet- ings to protest against such boundary, and to ask Congress to include them within the limits of Arizona. They are cut off from New Mex- ico proper by the great desert of the Rio Grande, and have been for three years past en- deayoring to obtain a separate territorial gov- e@-nment. Numerous letters, setting forth their grievances and their claim to be included in in the new territory, have been received by their Delegate, Lt. Mowry, who will present them to the Committee on Territories. The boundary they ask for is a line in the vicinity of the 34th parallel, running from Texas to the Colorado of the West. The Sen- ate Committee will probably report on Thurs- day in reference to Arizona. GOVERNMENT OF THE Navy.—The board rc- cently appointed to prepare a code of regula- tions for the government of the Navy have made their report. It has disagreed upon some of the most important measures, chiefly with reference to the relative position of the medical and disbursing officers to the officers of the line. It was claimed that the former should be entitled to the consideration of staff officers, and the organization of the Navy be in this respect similar to that of the Army. To taese propositions, it is understood, Commodore Shubrick and the others of the board repre- senting the line officers were strenuously op- posed, and prevented their adoption—the vote being a tie. Two reports have been laid before the Secretary. Scrvers 1s New Mexico.—The General Land Office is in receipt of the following from the Surveyor-General of New Mexico: Parts of correction parallels Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 4 west of the principal meridian. Township lines from No. 1 south to No. 29 inclusive, situated on both sides of the Rio Grande and represent- ing the location of the following, to wit: The towns of Lemitar, Los Cruces, Mesilla and Amoles ; also, Fort Thorn reserve. The sub- divisional surveys of township 18 south of range 4 west, and township 19 south of range 3 west. This survey adjoins Fort Thorn reserve, and contains 20,000 acres. AFRAID oF tHE Issun.—The persistent re- fusal of the opposition to permit the reports to be made from Mr. Harris's Special Committee on Kansas affairs, as illustrated in this morn- ing’s House proceedings, shows that they dre:d the issue that will arise the instant Mr. Ste- phens is permitted to report; which be cannot do for perhaps a month hence, save by unani- mous consent of the House That the opposi- tion are in a minority in the House hall on the Lecompton question, is thus clearly mamifest to the dullest comprehension. Oxprrev.—Purser Henry Myers has been ordered to the sloop of-war Marion, now about to proceed to the Coast of Afries, from the port of Norfolk.

Ix Tux Snare, yesterday, our report of pro- ceedings closed with Mr. Hamlin on the floor, speaking in opposition to the Kansas bill. His Temarks were not concluded when the Senate went into executive session, after which it ad- journed. {x tux Hovsr, after Mr. Faulkner concluded his remarks on the Army bill, the House went into Committee of the Whole, and took up the Consular appropriation bill. Mr. Keitt then made a cogent # h in favor of the admission of Kansax with the Lecompton Constitution, on the ground of its constitutionali- ty and expediency. Mr. English opposed the admission because he believes the Lecompton Constitution does not embody the will of the ple. Mr. Philips favored the admission of Kansas, and between him and Messrs. we et Kun- kel of Pa., and Stanton, a sort of discursive de- bate was carried on, after which— Mr. Foster obtained the floor, when— The House adjourned. Preceedings of To-day. In THE Senate, to-day, the resolution for print, ing 10,000 extra copies of the Patent Oitice Reports on Arts and Manofactures elicited considerable discussion, which was participated in by many members; some advocating a reduction of the amount of the public printing. Mc. Mason was in favor of abolishing the print ing, Departmental information altogether. r. Fessenden advocated the reduetion of the amount of printing, but <a) Pe that retrench- ment in other respects should also engage the attention of Congress. Mr. Brown believes a large bulk of the print- ing of no utility whatever, and ued that this fs proven by the fact that, though n0 copyrights are taken out, yet no republication of |, Printed by-order of Congress have been made.
