SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Union discredits the testimony of the complete witness, Mr. F. P. Biair, Sr., on the ground that he bas been, in turn, the accuser of nearly every prominent man in the country. It further comments upon the publication by the Philadelphia Press of an extract from a private note addressed to the late Kansas Sec- retary (Stanton) by Senator Bigler, and says: “ Of course. nobody can feel any confidence in the correctness of the publication, coming before the reader, as it does, in violation of the sacred rights of private correspondence.”” The Union, also, comments upon the posi- tion assumed in the British Paliament by Lord Aberdeen. The Intelligencer thinks that it has discov- ered one of ‘‘the laws of the Democratic party,” as held by the Urron, to be “‘ The Tax on Of- ficials;’ and, in another article, traces the results of the Erie Canal. ——————_.-=—_- THE WEEKLY STAR, With intelligence from all portions of the globe, is upon our counter and in the mails, ready for the public.

Under such circumstances, it is not wonderful—Governor Wise, in last ‘‘going off half-cocked,’” having buckled his fortunes to those of Douglas—that the Richmond Enquirer now shares with the New Orleans Bee, the no- torious organ of New Englandism in New Or- leans,the honor of furnishing the capital of bogus Southern admiration of his course, on which Douglas essays to trade in Illinois when that dodge seems likely to serve his turn for the hour. Though the prestige of its former polit- ical labors and position may serve to deceive a few Northern Democrats concerning the esti- mate in which Douglas is now held by the South, there, it can effect nothing in that wa: raguan Government to supersede General Iri- sarri, General Jerez,the new Commissioner from that Government, comes to aid his venerable and distinguished coadjutor, so far as future negotiations with this Government may be con- cerned.

It is stated that a rich vein of mineral coal has been discovered in Sonoma county, about forty miles from the town of Petaluma.
