Tur Riot or Teespay Niast Last.—A cor- respondent in the Unzon of yesterday morning, evidently interested in palliating the shameful failure of the police to do their duty in the matter of arresting those engaged in the mur- derous assault on Tuesday night last, makes various asseverations ¢oncerning the affair which are wholly unfounded in fact. The statement published in the Siar of the day be- fore yesterday was correct in every particular, and was written only after having verified every material fact explained, past any pre- tence of the denial of its truth, if hereafter the matter shall become the subject of judicial in- vestigation. We state these facts because we have every reason to believe that the commu- nication of “A Looker-on,’’ in the Union, is from the Chief of the Police, who was no/ a “looker-on’”’ at the occurrences. The Star's readers are well aware that when it takes occa- sion to call in question the propriety of the conduct of public officers, it does net do 30 lightly. On due investigation its statements in such cases have invariably proved correct. In this case. none of its usual caution was relaxed ; and the public may therefore rely on the truth of its account of the affair. But our business ers, and the matter is to receive immediate atten- time, to infringe the rights of no citizen under ti ‘ “Oné'ot the most'im ng ceremonSes ever wit- Pretence of its performance. nessed imthi«x country will probabiy take place on Sunday next, when the corner stone of a new Catholie Cathedral ts to be laid by Archbishop Hoghes.

Arxy Onpens—The following orders, dated Headquarters of the Army, West Point, N. ¥ August 10, 1858, haye just been promulgated by General Seott : The General-in-Chief learning the arrival of the troops under Brevet Brigadier General Johna- ston at their destination in the Salt Lake coun- try, after their detention in the vatley of Green river during the last winter, takes occasion to commend them in general o:ders—as he has al- ready done through their commander—for their exemplary conduct under the trying circum- stances in which they have been placed. Detained, after a long and wearisome match of over a thousand miles, by causes over which their commander had no control, in a most barren and inhospitable de Seg j subjected—by the rigors of the season, which destroyed or paralyzed their draught animals —to toils of no ordinary natare ; and, on account of the destruction of part of their supplies, obliged to labor with insufiicient cloth- i indifferent, and often restricted rations of food—this fine body of men, instead of giving way to insubordination, irregularities, or mur- murs even, went on tinproving in discipline and instruction, and discharcing their accumulating duties with the utmost alacrityand cheerfulness ; and, at the order of their commander, not show- ing the tnhabitants of Salt Lake valley, as they passed through their settlements, either by act, word, or gesture, that they had recently stood to- wards them in a hostile attitude. ‘The march, in the dépths of winter, of Lieut. Colonel (now Colonel) P. St. George Cooke, con manding the Second Dragoons, from Fo! = mie, through the Sonth Pass to Green river; and, that of Capt. R. B. Marcy, of the Fifth Infantry, from Camp Scott, over the mountains to ew Mexico, deserve, as they have already receited, mendation. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Union, in replying to the sharp com- ments of the Jute/ligencer on the “ political morality’ of the ‘‘ tax on offic’als,”’ takes oc- casion to remind that venerable journal of the aid it lent the “money power"’ to obtain con- trol of the Federal Government in the days of the United States Bank. It further invigorates the memory of the Intel/rgencer, as to the fact that its party came into powerin 1849 underde- clarationsof the largest charity—with an avowed purpose to “‘proseribe proscription,’ and within one year, under its own teachings, turned more Democrats out of office than have been dis- charged by all other administrations since the days of Washington combined. The Unron, also, says of the election in Ken- tucky : “Im the election of the most subordinate of their State officers, in whose fortunes or func- tions they can be supposed to feel no peculiar interest, the people have rallied to the polls with remarkabie enthusiasm, and, by an w cedented majority, registered a vote of censure against Mr. Crittenden, his obnoxious affiliations last winter, and bis whole scheme of a -people’s , ’ But the vote ts also a terrible rebuke to Mr. Douglas, who, at the time of the voting in Tae Inpiaxs ty WASHINGTON TeRRITORY.— The Commissioner of Indian Affairs ig in re- ceipt of dispatches from Superintendent Nes- mit, who has charge of Indian affairs in Wash- ington and Oregon Territories. In the mails that had been received up to 1 o'clock to-day, there was no allusion made to the hostilities which recently occurred, but it is sapposed that other dispatches came in the steamer, and. that they have not yet been distributed at the Post (Office. No apprehensions appear to be en- tertained as to the safety of Indian Agents in the country. We learn, farther, that Gov. Stevens, the delegate from Washington Territory, has received letters stating that the powerful tribes of the Nez Perces and Flatheads contin- ued friendly, despite the effortsof the Spok.anes to incite them to join in hostilities against the whites.

Towxsesp, Assistant Adjutant General. Anrrivep.—Messrs. Powell & McCullob, the Peace Commissioners to Utah, arrived in this city last evening. They are said to represent the affairs in the Territory to be in a condition of general quietude, and that the recent dif- ferences were amicably adjusted on a perma- nent basis, and on terms honorable to the Gen- eral Government. They have not yet reported to the State Department. whom all here who know anything of the ins and outs of our Corporation affairs are well aware that a portion of the present police are sympathizers. That article is grossly incorrect in its material allegations; and we have to say— Ist. The omnibus did not proceed down from the Northern Liberties, as it alleges, “at a staving rate;’’ butat the ordinary pace of omni- buses on the avenues in that section of the city. 2d. Noone on the top of the omnibus used “insulting and opprobrious language,” as it alleges, to any one. 3d. No one left the coach until the man who had followed it for some distance, pistol in hand, ran around among some shanties and again made his appearance with his gang of rowdy ruffians, who commenced stoning and firing pistols at those in and on the vehicle. It was then high time that the latter should leave it as fast as possible, and defend their lives as best they could. 4th. The persons who brought down the swivel were all boys—not men, as intimated. Sth. The swivel was captured by Mr. Curtis and members of the company, and not by the police, as this correspondentsays. On captur- ing it, Mr. Curtis immediately upset it, turning the wheels upwards, so that it was evident to all that it could not be used to continue the disturbance On the subsequent arrival of the police, they took possession of it. 6th. From all we can hear, the Chief of the Police, we regret to have to write, is probably much more interested in hunting up the means of palliating the improper conduct of his subor- dinates, directly or indirectly affiliated with the gang of rowdies who made the attack, than in seeking the means of identifying the latter, which are at any moment to be obtained ou application to James Ward, Esq., J. P., the president of the attacked company, who can furnish him with the names of respectable cit- izens, able, on sight, to say whether any sur- pected person who may be arrested was or was not one of the assailing party. The peace of the city must be preserved. That can only be accomplished—as policemen are in these times appointed by all parties as rewards for political services of the lowest order—by the force of public opinion in com- pelling the police to know neither friends nor foes in the execution of their trusts, and to keep clear of grog shops and grog-shop haunt- ing associates; and further, to be civil to all with whom their functions throw them in con- tact. The Star has never failed to hold them to strict accountability for their conduct, it matters not by which party appointed, and never will while in the hands of its present conductor. Ere the reorganization of the police force ot Washington, the force of public opinion, (smarting under the shameful state of things brought upon this community by the notorious inefficiency of the old police, every man of whom, with but a single exception, if we mis- take not, was reappointed as an integral part of the new organization.) operating on the grand and petit juries of the District, restored comparative peace and good order here. It is as little as the uew police organization can do, to keep the rowdy ruffian gangs under as wholesome subjection as that in which they found them on taking ofice. The only gangs continuing their organization to violate the public peace at that time, were those who paraded the streets of the city, firing pistols and blaspheming, on the first Monday in June last, who as notoriously hail from the quarter where the murderous attack on Tucsday last was made, as they were noturiously those who claimed the reward of police and other office for their political (!!') services. While protesting against the prostitution of the power to accord office for the reward of apy such persone, we protertt more especially against any affiliation between the police, after appointment, and any such individuals, and shall eudeavor to prevent the community from being injured thereby, we care not whom wo UP The greatest victory ever achieved for Temperance, in the United States, was the intro- duction of Lager Bier.

[Correspondence of the Star } New York, August 1, 1858. Large bedies move slowly. The beart of our nation is beating in response tothe electric pulses that come throbbing from another continent—the success of the greatest enterprise of modern time, has been mede known through the length and breadth of the country; and the people of every locality from the thriving city to that “one horse river town, whose only inhabitants were a one-armed man, an unroofed woodshed, and a deceased wheelbarrow,’ have celebrated the event with illuminations, bonfires, and the smoke of cannon ; and yet New York, the soul of the undertaking, the plece of its birth, with the ex ception of sich a paltry salute as would be paid to a suecessful ‘curb-sto ward politician, has preserved a profound silence. There is reason for this cauliousness, however. A New Yorker is a description of human tinder- wood, and, though easily kindled inte enthusi- asm, he is surrounded by such an atmosphere of “humbug”? that he is not apt to yield credence to 4 mere statement—no matter from what source it may emanate In regard to the Atlantic cable, while there is little skepticisin ax to the fact that it ix laid, and that the current is pe: re ix doubt in the minds of thinking yhether it can be made to operate practically.

Bexton on tHe LittLe Giaxt.—Col. Benton, in conversing with a friend many months since, gave the following summary view of the Prospects of Mr. Douglas : “The little giant,” said he, “is in too greata hurry to be agreat man. He forgets that giants don't wear seven-league boots now-a-days. and that the first office in an elective government cannot be taken by storm. His ambition is much beyond his ability, for although a fluent speaker, bis ideas don’t bear the proper proportion to bis words, and thomgh he runs fast he carries little weight. He thinks he can bestride this conti- nent with one foot on the shores of the Atlantic, the other on the Pacific But, he can’t do it—he can't do it, sir. His legs are too short.” PERSONAL. «+++ Gen.
