SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Union replies to the New York Times in relation to certain charges made by Dr- Bernbisel of a breach of faith on the part of the Administration towards the Mormons. The Union says of Dr. Kane, by whom, it will be remembered, it is alleged that the President made promises to the Mormons that have since been broken, as follows: “ He went neither as agent of the President nor as officer of the governinent; neither as secret agent nor as public officer; but simply on an individual, self-imposed mission, as a private citizen, philanthropist, well-wisber of the Mor- mons, or what you will. He took no message from the President, other than the Psesident had publicly announced, in regard to the Mormons; and whatever assurances he may have given the Mormon leaders of the pacific intentions of the President, were such as were publicly advertised by tbe President in his official proclamation— such as any other person from the States might have given the Mormons with equal confidence and authority.

Rufus Choate on his Fourth of July address in Boston. +e 17 Later advices by the City of Washington state that the Asiatic cholera has made its ap- pearance in London. i> We have the Turks’ Island Gazette to the fath ult.

This, however, will not prevent the Trus- tees from proceeding summarily against the council as trespassers, should the Board con- clude to do so at its next meeting. SE RTs From Jamaica.—By the schooner Seeman, from St. Ann’s Bay, we have Kingston dates of the Ith of June. The papers are quite bare of interest. Asmart shock of an earthquake was felt at Kingston on the morning of the 16th, immediate- ly succeeding an intensely hot day and tremen- dous falls of rain. No damage seems to have re- sulted. . Schooner Emily Vierr, from New York, ar- rived at Falmouth on the 1ith. U7 Independence Day was appropriately cel- ebrated at Niagara Falls on Monday. A proces- sion was formed of the fire department and citi- zens. The oration was delivered by F. J. Fith- jan, of Buffalo. The feature of the celebration ‘was the ceremonies attending the opening of the Hydraulic canal. Several steamtugs were brought from Buffalo to the mouth of the canal. The Procession proceeded to the basin of the canal, expecting tohear an address by Stephen M. Al- len. While the crowd was waiting the dam gave way, carrying off about 15 feet of the embank- ment. Great excitement ensued, but no one was injured.

The wicked rascal who, for paltry gain, could thus trifle with the health and life of his fellow man--take from bis ips the cup of hope while sinking, and sub- titute an utter delusion and cheat, would falter at no crime, and should be spared no punishment Some of his trash is still extant in the West, ard Purchasers*should be wary of whom they buy.— Gazette, Utuca, N.

Se A New Mar.—We are indebted to the agents in this city, Taylor & Maury, fora copy of the “Map of the State of Virginia,” containing the counties, principal towns, railroads, rivers, ca- nals, and all other internal improvements, litho- graphed and published by Ritchie and Dunna- vant, Richmend, Va ; 1958. uch a map of no other State of the American Union was more needed at the time of its publi- cation than this. It is capitally gotten up; em- bracing, as it does, every point illustrative of fact and features connected with the State’s pres- ent condition that cay Properly be introduced (shown) inamap. just now there isa Particu- jarly great desire manifested by the public to master facts connected with Virginia, owing to the outside interest taken in the Progress of hér so important progressing public works, and (by health and pleasure seekers) tn her multitude of watering places.

The ship Grotto, from Cuba, bound to England, put into quarantine on Monday with all ber crew down with fever, and her captain dead and buried atsea. The British Ship Suzanne, from Matanzas, bound for Greep- ock, also put in after losing her captain Five of ber crew are ill, supposed to be from yellow fever. At@be regular meeting of the health commis. sioners Dr. Thompson reported that he had re- ceived indirect information of yellow fever being prevalent at Cardenas, and recommended that all vessels going from that port to New York be subjected to quarantine Tegulations, as vessels from an iufeeted port. He had also beard that Port au Prince and Sagua la Grande were suffer- ing from the same scourge, and recommended that veasels from these ports be subjected to the fame regciations, ‘fhe resolutions were adopted, WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. .—The Richmond Whig, not long since, published « article evi- dently designed to satirize those of the Sou th who are in favor of a dissolution of the Union, the establishment of a separate (Southern) re. public, £c., £¢., in w i$ says smart and sharp things concerning the universal Yankee (New England) nation. The press of that re- gion, failing to comprehend the point of the Wihig's joke (which was designed to cut pre- cisely the other way) is up in arms against the Richmond journal of course. That which cuts sharp and deepest in the Wizg's article is as follows : “The valne of the Yankee as a slave has not been properly estimated. How dangerous and troublesome he is in a state of freedom is too well known. Cowardly, thievish, superstitious, fanatical, destitute of a moral sense, or of any fixed idea of civil politv, be sex all the worse and none of the better traits of the Negro, and stands more in need of a master. His inge- nuity has made him what he will forever re- main—the mechanic and craftsman of the world. Under proper command he makes a good sailor. Nor is unfit for higher slavish duties. His active and unscrupulous intellect finds very suit- able occupation in the vulgar labors of the law- yer and editor; also, in the more disgracefal rsuits of the itinerant lecturer. But for his foapitity to discern between right and wrong, and his tendency to atheism, he might be put to use as a preacher. ee him soundly for every political sermon, he would improve beyond what we think possible; but he will always be too hypocritical to be trusted”? Lamwroorixe TH Ixpias Arratrs.—We alluded yesterday to the fact that instructions were in preparation in the Indian Burean for the better regulation of affairs among the Indians of Minnesota and Nebraska Territories. We have since learned that the purport of these orders, which have been sent to Superintendent Cullem, at St Paul's, is that the claims of the Indians against the Government are to be satisfied speedily, and the terms of the treaty made by General Harney in 1854 are to be complied with forth- with on the part of the Government. The Superintendent is also advised that presents will be sent forward at an early day, and such other measures as are practicable will be initi- ated for the promotion of the domestic comfort of the tribes. The Indian Bureau has long anticipated difficulties inthat quarter, but was unable effectually to act in the premises, until Congress made an appropriation in accordance with its urgent recommendation, to satisfy treaty and other demands of these disaffected savages. That appropriation was only made during the recent session of Congress, and has just become available; and the Indian Bureau has displayed praiseworthy promptness in making arrangements to prevent dissatisfac- tion among the Indian tribes, az soon as the means to accomplish that laudable object were placed at its disposal. Panama Sup RaitRoap.— Wasuincton, July 4, 1858. Editor of the Star : ‘The narrow strip of land uniting the two Amer- icas and dividing the Atlantic from the Pacific oceaa has long been an impassable barrier to the commerce of the world which various nations in the last half century have attempted to remove by the comstruction of a ship canal from ocean to ocean. Numerous routes bave been proposed and surveys made of these routes which proved each, in turn, to be absolutely impracticable, or attended with almost insurmountable obstacles, and demanding au outlay of means se immense that ae in turn, was compelled to be abandoned. The present French Nicaragua Ship Canal scheme bas attracted general attention by the magnitude of its proposals, and the Political and commercial advantages to be obtained by its construction ; but this project, like all the others which have been proposed from time to time, is pronounced impracticable, or attended with dif- ticulties that will render its failure certain. But if a sbip canal acroxs Central America proves to Be really impossible, wh may not a ship railroad be constructed of a sufficient width and solidity of structure, and with engines bav- ing power great enough to transport the largest ships with safety across the Isthmus from to sea? ‘This pian is not new, neither is it strange, having been practised on our canals with entire success, although upon a small scale. A frail coal boat carrying one hundred tons is floated upon a car standing on a firm railroad track, and by means of water power hauled upa seep in- clined plane and deposited in the canal level above. Again, canal boats, in sections, have been transported on a common railroad for years over the mountains of Pennsylvania, for a distance of forty miles with entire success. If acanal boat carrying one hundred tons can be transported on @ common railroad, with the usual size. engines, it only requires au enlarged railroad and engines corresponding to the igcreased weight of the burthen to be carried, to transport the largest vessels that sail the ocean with success and safety. The proposed ship railroad should be built along the line of the present Panatna railroad. It should be 60 feet in width. and constructed of the most solid and indst uctible materials. Upon this wide road bed, and having long heavy ties interlocked across the entire roadway and with iron of two hundred pound: the yard, should be laid three tracks of 8 feet uge, and 8 feet between the tracks, thus form) % a thrible track railroad of 40 feet in width from outside to outside of the rails, and admitting of trucks with six wheels abreast or upon the same axeltree. A car supported by a sufficient number of such trucks would without doubt sustain a 3.000 ton ship and cargo. The locomotives to transport this immense weight should be coal burners with 16 connected drivers, and weigbing 100 tons. One of these monsters would haul on a 50 foot grade 1,000 tons freight, exclusive of car. A car, of strength equal tothe burthen to be carried, constructed vith strong sides against which should be attached powerful lever or screw supporters adapted in form to the sha of ships, and mounted on a sufficient number of six wheeled axeltrees to sustain its immense load should be let down a slightly inclined plane on @ track along the bottom of the sea and the ship floated into it and made fast. The car and ship should then be hauled up together until her straight keel rests its whole length upon the car, when the supporters should be applied with con. siderable force to sustain the dee of the ship against latteral pressure of cargo, and to keep her firmly in © uponthecar. With stationary engines assisted by locomotives, the car and its immense burthen should then be hauled up the plane to the level road above. Three engines, one on each track, or four, two being on the centre track, should now be hitched on, and this monster of the deep, hauled by monsters of the land, across the Isthmus of Panama, and again by stationary engiaes stid into the Opposite sea in safety. Various sized cars, accor ing to the capacity of ships, would be needed, some to run on two tracks and be hauled by two or more locomotives, as their burthen might require. The advantages of the Panama Ship Railroad over the proposed Nicaragua Ship Canal wou'd be numerous. It would cost about $15,000,000— the canal $75,000,000. A ship could be trans- ported over this road in one day—the canal would require ten days. The charges on the ship rail- road would be about one-fourth the charges on the canal, and the injury done to vessels much less on the road than on the canal. The road would always be in runn ng order, whereas the destructive torrents of rain so frequent in that climate, would often render the canal impassa- ble. These advantages would be suficient to make the ship railroad a decided success, and the ship canal a complete failure. If th s ship railroud across the Isthmus of Pa- nama proves successful ship railroads may be constructed around the Falls of Niagara, over the Isthmus of Suez, or across any other portion of the earth’s surface, where ships are reqaired to be transported over narrow strips of land from seatosea. A ship canal through the Isthmus of Suez has been objected to on account of the drift- ing sands which would be liable to fill it w and also the sinking of its waters, and great di culty in obtaining sufficient water for feeders. Neither of chese would be an objection to a Suez ship railroad. ‘To fully ascertain the practicability of the Pa- Sama Stip Railroad let a mile of ship railroad with plane stationary engines, car, and locomo- as ibed, be constructed at San Juan, . n any other place where a sbip rail- roud would be needed, and if # 1,000 or a 3,000. ton ship con be hauled from the sea and trans- ported one mile, th Geally demonstrateae wy te Hy hatate Norsery ror OrsamentaL Trees.—The Seoretary of the Interior has instituted an in- quiry through the agricultural division of the Patent Office as to the expediency of estab- lishing & nursery in this city with a view o, furnishing the public grounds with ornamentat trees. A public square of some five acres on Missouri avenue, between Four-and-a-half ang Sixth streets, is proposed to be used for this Purpose, and it is suggested that seeds of oyr native forest trees be selected by officers, Indian agents, and other functionaries of ‘the govern. ment. Tn ¢onnegtion with the same enterprise it is propose to plant the tea seeds now being collected by Mr. Fortune in China, in some suitable location in this city. Tax Saawnex Laxps.—The following re- commendation of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, Charles E. Mix, Esq., relative to bring- ing into market certain lands of the Shawnee reservation, which were restricted from sale by order of the President, dated Oct. 29th, 1857, bas been approved of by the President, and the order preventing their sale has been re- scinded, so that they are now in the market, and were yesterday turned over to the General Land Office, subject to entry and disposal un- der existing laws applicable to the public do- main : DEPARTMENT OF INTERIOR, Office of Indian Affairs, July 1, 1858 Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the re- ceipt by reference from you of a petition of iSth of May last from citizens of Douglas county, Kansas Territory, praying that certain lands, hereinafter described, within the Shawnee reser- vation, be brought into murket at an early day, with a view to the extinguishment of the Indian title, with various letters pertaining to the same subject. The lands in question are a portion of the sur- plus of the Shawnee reservation remaining after the Indian selections had been made, and which were excepted from the general sale in conformi- ty with the recommendation contained in your communication to the President of 29th October, 1857, and are assigned in that communication as follows: [A description of the lands is here given. In nae of the fact that white settlers have gone on to the above-mentioned tracts, as is alleged, in good faith, after having received every assu- tance that the lands were not taken and would not be required for individual Indian selections, and that their settlement would not conflict in any degree with the rights of the Shawnees, either present or absent, and as it appears that the treaty of May 10th, 1851, does not cone nplate the excep- tion from sale of any part of the surplus of the Shawnee reservation. | have respectfully to rec- ommend that the exception be withdrawn, and that the General Land Ottice be instructed to take steps to bring the said lands into market at as early a day as practicable. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, Cuarurs KE. Mix, Commissioner of Indian Affairs. J. Thompson, Secretary of the Interior. A Pronaste Nice Question.—A quarrel occurred some months ago between Mr. Mu- ruago, of the Spanish Legation, and W. W. Corcoran, Esq., of this city. Since that time Mr. M. has obtained from bis Government a conge, or temporary release from the legation, to relieve himself from the legal exemptions and restrictions which govern attaches of for- eign legations. Upon obtaining it, he an- nounced to Mr. Corcoran, that he had been prevented by his official position from seeking reparation before, but was now free from those restrictions ; and he subsequently threw his glove in Mr. C.’s face to provoke him to an en- counter. To-day, from certain movements we have observed, it is rendered probable that the pro- per officers have been called upon to take cog- nizance of this affair and prevent further diffi- culty. Itis thought, too, that anice question of law may arise from the matter, to the effect a conge has to relieve members of foreign le- gations from the immunities and restrictions thrown around them, and whether the Govern- ment had any right to grant one, if it was cog- nizant at the time of the purpose of Mr. M. in seeking it. Tae Artesian Wett Exrepition.—Dis- patches dated June 4th have been received at the War Department from Capt. Pope. An exploring party from his camp on the Pecos river, near the mouth of Delaware creek, had discovered a large number of springs on the summit of the Llano Estacado, fifty miles east of the camp, and about half way between the Pecos and the ‘‘Mustang Springs,’’ on the emi- grant road. There is a hard, gravelly road along the whole distance, much shorter than the emigrant route. The lines of survey here- tofore made across the ‘Llano Estacado”’ pass within a few miles of the springs. Tue Joint Commitree of Aldermen and Councilmen who attended the remains of ex- President Monroe to Richmond arrived in this city last evening. Among the names we find Hon. John Cochrane, Aldermen Adams, Lynes, Twomey, Owens and Murray, and Councilmen Webb, Cornell, Bickford, Bunce and Frazier. They will remain at the National during their stay. The excursion from Richmond proved a very pleasant one. On the way they visited Mount Vernon, and were kindly and hospitably received by Mr. Washington. Mr. Robinson, President of the Richmond Railroad, kindly detailed a steamboat to call for the committce at 40’clock. “ Harp to Beat’’—Quickty Beaten.—The Chestertown (Kent county, Md ,) News says, in a late issue under the head of “ Hard to Beat,”’ that Senator Pearce had left at its office specimens of timothy head, the largest mea;- uring 10 inches in length! Yesterday afternoon, Mr. Henry L. Carlton left at the Sar office specimens of timothy heads just cut from his meadow, near the ever memorable Bladensburg, Prince George county, measuring from 10 to 134 inches in length. Senator Pearce owes Mr. Carlton an oyster supper on his return to Washington city, next winter. These specimens are to be seen at our counter. Tue Stertoe Arrair.—There is a painful anxiety experienced here, both in and out of the War Department, as to the reported defeat of Col. Steptoe by the Indians in Oregon, and the next mail from that quarter is awaited with much concern The temporary success of tho Indians, if true, may embolden them to attack the settlements, and should they do so they have strength enough to do great mischief, skilled at they are in the use of the rifle. Tus Texas axp New Mexico Bouxpany Commiss1on.—This commission, consisting of Mr. J. H. Clark, commissioner, Mr. Hugh Campbell, astronomer, and Mr. John Weiss, surveyor, will commence operations about the Ist of September, at a point where the 324 par- allel crosses the Rio Grande. The Secretary of the Interior has not yet been apprised of the appointment of a commissioner on the part of Texas. Navan InrguuiGencs. — Dispatches have been received from Commander McIntosh, of the U.S. steamer Colorado, under date of June 20, off the bar of Havana. He reports that the British steamers Devastation and Styx were both in Havana. The Plymouth and Falton were cruising off the harbor, and the James- town would be there in a few days. The Arctic was off Mutanzas, and the Water Witch on the south side of the island. Tue Panacuay Coumission.—It issaid that Commander Page is to have charge of the squadron to accompany the United States Com- missioner to Paraguay. As the insult toour flag was comniitted by Paraguay while it was in the keeping, in that locality, of Commander Pago, it is very proper that he should be au- thorized, if force is deemed necessary, to,com- pel redress for the outrages. ’ Nicaragua Rovrs.—The Cabinet on Tues- day had under consideration the question of the transit route, and it is said that the Presi- dent is determined to have the Nicaragua route opened, and to sustain any company that has a valid right. Itis understood that the Administration considers the grant of the old American Atlantic and Pacific Ship Canal Com- pany valid. A4nuy Ngewa,—Major Cunningham, paymas- ter United States Army, arrived at San Antonio Om the 18th ult, from New Orleans, with the funds to pay the troops at all the posts between San Antonio and Fort Davis.
