The Union, determining not to be s party to the escape of the New York Hera/d from its position in reference to the triumphs of - Administration and the “demoralized torn and shattered condition of the Democratic party, proceeds, to-day, to show that the successes of the Administration have been the triumphs of the Democratic party, and will tend to strengthen its power and promote its perpe- tuity. Of the Herald, the Union thus speaks : * We support Democratic principles and or- ganizations; the Herald supports Democratic principles, and is quite indifferent to organiza- tions. The Herald’s position is like one who hears, praises, but refuses to pay the preacher. = * * Political organizations constitute a material part ef the machinery of government, and, as the Democracy are the only reliable party, the only national, comprehensive, patriotic party, we think it eminently fit and proper that @ great national journal like the Herald should be the defender, in a truthful way, of Democratic organizations.” Touching the Right of Search question the Urion compliments the New York Hera/d for its position upon it; is surprised that that paper should continue to express doubts of its settlement on the basis of the principles of in- ternational law heid by the American Govern- ment ; and concludes: * We repent again [wholly upon the er the correspondence between the two Govern- ments} that Englaod bas utterly abandoned the assumed right, and thus closed the coutrove: ie The Un/on also gives the latest intelligence from the * reorganization of parties,”’ thus : “ Mr. N. Sargent’s Crittenden letter is having a wide circulation. Democratic papers publish it to expose the manner im which the new party ix to ve organized to overthrow the ancient De- mectacy ; Republican papers, to ridicale and dis- avow the movement; while a few of the old- fasbione@ tariff journals maintain an omin. silence, ws if they were poudering carefnily the Present situation of political affairs. Take it sl- together, the ic response to Mr. Sargent’s programme is anytbing but encouraging tu the success of the movement.” The Intelligencer dwells, with quiet humor, upom the contest now waging between the Enquirer and South, newspapers of Rich- mond, upon the question of what contingency would, in the event of the dissolution of the Union, induce Virginia to side with the North. ee THE WEEKLY STAR.

Not finding her thére as é&Pected, it was determined to proceed down the river to ascertain her position, the prospect of her arrival, &c. Ata point thirty-five miles below the city'the propeller Diamond State was met, with Quartermaster: Winchester on board, from whom it was ascertained that on the even- ing before the*‘branch piiot’’ had plumped ber bow high and dry in the mud two feet out of water, at the Kettle Bottoms, a point sbout ighty-five miles below Washington—wher? ships not unfrequently stick. Proceeding there on the Collyer to render any possible acsist- ance, the Ericsson was reached at 2+ p.m., and it was found impossible to free her by towing with so light a steamer. Though disappointed and vexed beyond moasure by their unexpected delay, the regi- ment were in glorious spirits, and delighted to meet others on the waste of waters in the midat of which their steamship rolled heavily from side to side. It was coneluded to relieve her of as many of her multitude of passengers (some five hundred in all) as possible, in order that the Mount Vernon (which steamer Quar- termaster Winchester had been advised to bring down) might not be loaded beyond her capacity for comfortable accommodation. So the third, sixth and eighth companies—the senior companies of the regiment—a portion of the Staff, and Major Mumford, of the Rich- mond (Va) Volunteers, were transferred to the Collyer on the invitation of the President of the Washington and Alexandria Steamboat Company, and at 43 sho set out on the retarn trip to Washington, reaching her wharf at 114 Pp m. A more delighiful trip on the water was never enjoyed, ail being happy and com- fortable, aud the temperature being exeecding- ly bracing. The impression made by the members of the regiment, one and all, upon the Washingtonians present, was admirable. A more dignitied and intelligent body of gentlemen was never before assembled on such an excursion. On reaching this city, the battalion marched by tap of drum to the National Hotel, where they found capital quarters and a hearty wel- come, though the hosts by some mistake had not been notified to expect their arrival and prepare for their due entertainment. The rest of the re-iment duly arrived on the Mount Vernon, at 6 a. m. to-day, accompanied by Mayor Mayo, of the city of Richmond. Four companies were immediately quartered at Browns’ hotel, where they are faring as well as they could fare at any other hotel in the United States, and the other (the fifth) joined their companions, arriving by the Collyer, at the National.

Notes or Travey.— Lrxcuecrs, Va., July 5, 1855 Editor of the Star: Introductions and prefaces are all humbugs, mere twaddle, gammon on the *hifalutin’’ order.
