WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. Neary Prarep Ovr.—The game of politi eal brag in which Semator Douglas is engaged is evidently nearly played out. He has staked all upon winning with bis false card—his plea that because a nominal Democratic State Con- vention has endorsed the propriety of his con- duct in stabbing the Democratic party of the Union in the back, therefore it is anti-Demo- eratic to refuse to bow to the entire correctness of his course with reference to Kansas and the National Administration. Pablic opinion—Democratic—from Maine to California at length comprehends that he bas deliberately elected to defeat the Democracy in 1860, if that be necessary to secute hit re- election to the Senate of the UnitedStates. It is now everywhere understood that he fights to win, on grounds which, if he triumphs, endanger the success of the Democracy far more than the success of his opponent will; and that he chooses his positions with thorough knowledge of that fact. During all the last session of Congress the life-time onemies of the Democratic party were his counsellors, colaborers and confidants— Messrs. Seward, Wilson, Hale, e¢ a/. They labored together to work out the same plans against the Democratic party; and, so far as the Democratic party proper is concerned, he is at this moment working as industriously to compass its prostration, as then. In the per- sonal contest between the Republican leader in his State and himself, of course he works for himself; and he professes continued identifica- tion with the Democracy, only because the nominal Democratic vote of Illinois is neces- sary to secure his re-election. The Democracy of the country at large are rapidly coming tocomprehend that the struggle is simply a personal one between two gentlemen equally hostile to the positions upon which the Temocratic party must of necessity win or lose the next Presidential election. Under no cir- cumstances can the party abandon its positions on the Kansas question, without thereby in- suring its total annihilation in 1860. Therefore is it, that the suecess of Mr. Douglas will do far more to weaken it than that of Mr Lincoln, who, if elected, comes in simply upen the strength of the Republican party in Illinois, made so string there by the act of Mr. Douglas in endorsing, and with might and main sustain- ing, its principles and policy with reference to Kansas. Our wonder in this ‘connection is, that Inng ere this late period tho country at large has not seen through his entire abandonment of the Democratic party. That it has failed to com- prehend the fact, is evidence only of the effec- tiveness of ‘‘cheek”’ in American politics. His capital throughout his current canvass is una- dulterated brass, and brass only, which no longer passes current out of Illinois. Illinois is lost to the Democracy in the triumph of cither Douglas or Lincoln—as escentiatly lost in ove case as in the other. For our part. we prefer to be beaten by a fair and square politi- cal opponent. Tue Wasuixcton Boys Away Frou THEIR Mamas. (Correspondence of The Star Lanper’s Wacon Roan Camp, 2 Near South Pass, July 4, 1558 § As many of your readers, I know, have friends in our expedition, and many more are interested in the success of the work, you will Probably be gratified to learn that, so far, everything has gotie on admirably, and with even greater progress than we coud reasonably hope for. Appo nted Superintendent about the Ist of April, by the 28th Colonel Lander had fitted out « tain with four months’ provisions, contracted for a winter’s supply, to be delivered at Fort Laramie in July, and on the 29th started from In- deper e, Mo, for the mountains. The ditfi- culty of starting a mule train was much increased by the great demand for animals at Fort Leaven- worth; but, by buying them in small lots and under his owt inspection, the Superintendent obtained 105 mules, averaging only 8136 50 per head. The weather at starting was the com- imencement of a -‘wet term,’? which lasted until we reached the South Platte, rendering the roads almost impassable. At first’we marched slowly, and were four days reaching Salt creek, five miles west of Leavenworth, having been eom- pelied to lay up two days by the rains and mud. On the 4th of May, we fairly started across the plains, and toiled along through the mud and muek cf Kansas with what speed wecould How- ever, by dint of bard pulling, we managed to average twenty miles per day to Marysville or Palmetto city, on the Big Blue. Here we baited one day to rig up and set things to rights, as it was the last city (!) we would see.

From Kearney we pushed on to the South Platte the evoxsing of which was reported to be too high for fording. Between Kearney and the Piatte we met discharged soldiers returning home on foot nearly all of them half starved, for there was no provision in the country. Some of them had been subsisting on corn, which was all they could wet ‘The superintendent directed all of them to be fed and fornished witb sufticient hard bread and ba- con to last tuem to Fort Kearney.

Our superintendent purchased their flour and some of their cattle and wagons at a very low igure; and leaving Mr Burche, of your cit yin ebarge to bring it on, we pushed abead reaching this point on the 15th of June, in 42 days from sea a Here ts the commencement of our work. Ja wwo days after our arrival, alog house twen- ty feet square was built, and our surplus provis- ions stored. Our conductor, Mitchell, started back to Laramie with the same teams, to brin; up a portion of our winter supplies, contractes for in the States. Anether division started for Wind river for the tools of the old expedition.

Subsequently Mr. D. C. Mitchell, of Arkansas, notified the Commissioner of Indian Affairs that there were several children with the train to whom he was related, and he requested that inquiries be instituted as to whether they were among the murdered. The Commissioner promptly responded to this call by directing the Superintendents of Indian Affairs in Cali- fornia and Utah to investigate the matter tho- roughly. The California Superintendent re- ported some weeks since that his search was unsuccessful. The Commissioner has recently received the answer of the Utah Superintendent, Dr. Forney, dated at Salt Lake City, June 28th, in which he states that a Mr. Hamlin, living near the seene of the massacre, has a child belonging to some of the murdered emigrants, and that fourteen children, also belonging to the unfor- tunate train, are in the care of whites in his immediate neighborhood, having been ran- somed and otherwise recovered trom the In- dians, after the latter retained possession of them several days. Dr. F. also reports that within twenty days previous to the time of his writing, four Ger- mans were murdered about 80 miles south of Salt Lake City, by Indians, it is supposed. The Indians on the Southern route to Califor- nia are said to be troublesome, and Dr. ¥. has been importuved to visit them. It is 400 miles from Salt Lake city to the farthest Indian set- tlement on that route, and 300 miles to where the children are. But Dr. F. will make the visit, and onhis return bring the children to his superintendency. He intends starting in about four weeks. Dr. F. has not yet visi‘ed all the tribes in his euperintendency,but his reports are encouraging as to the maintenance of pacific relations amongst them, and between them and the Government. “Our Fatan Ixvian Portcr.”"—Wo regret to havo read in the Union, of Tuesday last, an article on this subject, which inculeates doc- trines tending only to public demoralization ; and is an attempted vindication of what has always been acknowledged to be a great wrong The writer finds fault with the manner in which the Indians have been treated by the whites, since the earliest European settlement in this country, but instead of laying the censure, for the most part, at the door of the latter, as has been urually done, he endeavors to transfer it to the Indians, and seems even unwilling to admit that they are entitled to the equivocal humanitarian consideration they have received at the hands of our race. Their recognition as natiovalities—as ‘‘ co-equal inhabitants of the same country with ourselves’’—is characterized as absurd; and the money paid them for their lands is alleged to have been an actual curse to them, in that it enabled them to procure “ liquor’ wherewith to‘ feed their passions.”” To its influence is attributed nearly all the “* frightful border wars that we have inherited from our Indian policy."’ The schemes for thé civilization of the Indians are all uubesi- tatingly declared * wtopian,’’ and the policy recommended to be hereafter pursued by this Government, is to cease to regard them as pos- sessing any rights, to abandon the practice of buying their lands, and to raise the standard of the Republic in every part of the Indian country. ‘ Indeed,’’ says the writer, *‘ the ne- cessity has become apparent that we shall no longer have any Indian country. It belongs to the white race.”’ It is further maintained that the progress of the white race issuch as to render it certain that the Indians must submit toearly annihilation ; yet (hisisadjudged ‘ no hardship’’—‘‘ no unjust invasion’ of their rights. ‘‘ They have norights,”’ says the Union. “They were created and placed here in the wise economy of the A'mighty, to be driven back and finally exterminated.” We regret the appearance of this article sin- cerely; und isit not a cause for regret that any respectable press in the country should advo- cate doctrines so utterly at variance with every commonly received sentiment of justice and religion? That any should be found so unrea- sonable as to contend that Deity only created the Indians for “extermination.” For our own part, we believe that the Creator placed the Indians, as well as all other created be- ings, on this earth for some wiser purpose; and when their mission is fulfilled, he will either fit them for some other position, or permit them to go out of existence. But evenif we knew that extermination was to be the inevitable fate of these ‘‘ fast-disappearing”’ tribes, it is none the less our duty to deal justly with them while they exist. The Union does not present any plan for their future treatment, and the only inference we can gather is, that it supposes the sooner they are exterminated the better. The policy advocated degrades them to a level with the brutes. Similar ideas respecting this sub- ject are surely not entertained by any consid- erable number of persona in this country, we hope, and at least Ly no department of the Goy- ernment, for the Indian policy of the present Administration, we are glad to say, has thus far heen the very reverse of what is here pro- posed, and we truly hope it may continue to be so, for humanity’s eake. Joun Letcner —Tho Richmond Engui- rer is making fierce war on the proposition to make this gentleman the next Democratic can- didate for Governor of Virginia. Its work after that fashion is being done through the pens of correspondents who assail him and his pretensions with great bitterness. The cause of its hostility and that of the coterie it repro- sents, is the failure of Mr. Letcher to approve the nomination of Mr. Wise; which he opposed ere it was consummated. Ie came into the support of Mr. Wise with great reluctance. In this matter the Exguirer is understood to be simply reflecting the views and feelings of Mr. Wise, who, we think, will surely fail in rallying any considerable portion of the ap- proaching Virginia State Democratic Conven- tion to concentrate on any other gentleman, though many very prominent politicians being ambitious of being made the caadidate the Bumerous personal adherents of each of them will not be loth to take a hand in the Governor's anti-Letcher game. We have seen nothing as yet to shake our belief that John Letcher is the favorite with perhaps nine-tenths of the mags of the party in the State, however much noise some of the professed politicians may make against him. Tue Ongcon Exgction.—It is said that Gen. Joseph Lane has received information from Oregon Territory to the effect that the Legisla- ture just elected stands on joint ballot thirty- nine Democrats and eleven ‘opposition. An election for United States Senators, in view of the Territory coming in as aState noxt winter, was to be held.as soon as the Legislature met, on the 5th of July. The prominent candidates were General Lane and Judges Williams and Smith. There was no doubt entertained of Lane's success. The Democrats are said to have carried all the offices in the Territory. Tne Maxtcax Cram Case.—The Washing. ton co Tet it ofthe New York Herald says that who was expelled from Mexico for resisting ofioess in collecting the loan, re- grete the step he took, and has solicited a pass- a TA SS ee ee Port to return. The State Department has granted it, and requested the Mexican Minister to countersign it. The report of the fall of Zuloaga is not believed at the Mexican Lega- tion. —_ . Faore —It is reported that the rallrosd companies with whom a contract was made to carry the mails between Washington and New Orleans in four days, commencing with the present month, have not yet performed the service within that time. This failure is said to be caused by an insuffi- ciency of the means of transportation over about seventy miles of the country between the unfinished railroads, to wit, trom Goodman's Depot to Water Valley, in Mississippi. The mail matter accumulated at the former place, has been ordered to be forwarded to its desti- nation via the Mississippi river. On the re- turn of the Postmaster General, this matter will doubtless be taken up for consideration by the Department.

The full preparations fer the execution were made on Thursday afternoon, and the gallows fitted so that but a few moments would be required to erect it. Friday morning the gallows was put up under the direction of Joseph Edwards, the rope attached and all made teady. The gallows was put up at one side of the jail yard, close adjoining the female depart- ment of the prison, the rope which held the weights being run through a cell in the prison, where it was cut by an unseen hand at the signal of the Sheriff. About ten o’clock, the two mili- tary companies detailed for duty on the occasion, marched down to the jail and took their position in one of the apartments awaiting the hour when their services would be required. About eleven o'clock a detachment of fifty policemen, from the various districts in the city, were sent down to the jail and took up a position in the jail yard. But few persons assembled outside, and these were kept in order by the police. The execution passed off without accident, and in a quiet and orderly manner UJ A new poem, by Wm. Allan Butler, au- thor of ‘Nothing to Wear,’’ hasappeared, which portrays the character and domestic history of Mr. Firkin, a New York merchant worth 22 000,- 000, and whose god is his wealth.
