Lipscomb, for collection, who is authorized to collect and receipt for those of its bills he may present to our debtors. . Nea 7 Be " SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Union tries to comfort Greeley in his tribulation at the failure of the Syracuse at- tempt at fusion. tar The same paper, treating of the submission of Staté constitutions to the people, says: “ Judge Douglas, as chairman of the Commit- tee on Territories, reported-back to the Seaate the celebrated Toombs bill with the provision re- airing the submission of the constitution of Fines to the contemplated by it, strick- en out. Judge ‘las could not then endorse the principle of congressional dictation, claimi: the right of the people to settle for themselves ai the questions relating to the organization of their State government.’’ Purther, it treats of the cargo of the captured slaves, saying - «We have announced the fact that the Presi- dent had concluded a contract with the Ameri- can Colonization Society for the subsistence and instruction of the Africans recently captured in the slaver now at Charleston, for the period of one year after thei nding on the African coast. We understand that this disposy! of the Africans bas been made with reference to pure cousidera- tions of economy. “ The law, it will be seen, makes it imperative upou the President to transport the captives be- youd the limits of the United States, and also makes it imperative upon bim to appeint an agent, or agents, on the coast of Africa fot the safe- keeping and Support of the captives, thus designating the destination to which he shali send them—balf the proceeds of the captured slaver foins into the Treasury of the United States In liquidation pro tanto of the cost of these measures.” The Intelligencer laments ‘the instability of American politics ”’ te Tax Comer is now distinctly visible about ten - degrees above the horizon, northwest, between 3 and 4 o’clock a.m. UF Edward Face, on trial at Portsmouth, Va., for the drowning of a negro man onthe Fourth of Jaly, bas been acquitted ; the jury, after an ab- sence of three quarters of an hour, returning a verdict of not guilty.

The bridge broke near the first tunnel. = U> By an arrival at New York we have dates from Caraccas and Porto Cabello to the 20th and 2th of August, respectively. it is stated that the Venezuelan Government bad surrendered ex- President Monagas and family, and his Minister, Gutierrez, in accordance with the demands of the French and English. They had embarked at Laguyra for Trinidad. An extensive plot to place Monagas again at the head of aifairs, had been divulged by one of the conspirators pees. SaaS aaa > Late accounts from Mexico state that Tam- Pico had surrendered to the Liberal forces, who were assisted by four hundred frontiersmen and the revolutionary party in the city Vidaurri, at the head of ten thousand men, and abundantly supplied with the sinews of war, was on his march to the capital. Several engagements be- tween the opposing forces had taken Place, in one of which Miramon was defeated. — Haxti.—A commercial correspondent writes from Port-au-Prince, under date of the 19th ult., that two American men-of-war are at that place on the Navasa Islaad affair. Nothing is yet de- cided. The apmmander of the Saratoga has de- clared tothe government that he bax been sent fo protect the Americans on Nevasa, and that if the Haytien government bas any reclamations to make on the subject, it must address itself to the government at Washington. UP The result of the convention of railroad Presidents in session at Philadelphia last week, is a general advance of passenger rates from all the Western points of New York of three doliars and to Philadeiphia of « very slight amount, so as to make the rates to both points the same as they were previous to the reduction. These rates as well as the new schedule of freight charges to and from New York, and the different points West, will go into effect after the ratification of the four lines interested. ————$——— CELEBRATION OF THE BATTLE oF Laxe ERu: On Thursday, eight steamers and one schooner load of passengers from the Lake Ports, num. bering six thousand persons, celebrated Perry's victory at Putin bay. The United States steamer Michigan was Present. Prayer was offered by the Rev. Mr. Duffield, of Phila- delphia, and speeches were made by Dr. Par- sous,of Providence, R. I » Surgeon of Perry's flag ship; Captain Champlain, of the Scorpion; Mayors Starkweather of Cleavetand, Cocke of ‘Sandusky, Mason of Toledo, and Wilkins of De- troit. Governor Chase was president of the day, and Mr. Giddings and Senator Wade were pres- ent. A Monumental Association was formed, of which Hon. Lewis Cass is President. Bramine rex Dean.—The Philadelphia Bul- letin bas a leading editorial article advocating the practice of burning the dead. It Guotes from 2 work urging the introduction of Cremation, published in May jast by a member of the College of Surgeons in London, and which shows, from scientific examination that the Poisonous gases evolved from all cburchyards are so deadly, that every churchyard is, to a certain degree, the cause of fresh deaths. ‘The Builetin cherishes the idea that bucning wiil take the place of bu- rial,and the London author is good enough to suggest a plan by which the dead anight be re- duced to asbes so speedily, and yet so quietiy, that even smoke would not arise to offend the sight. He says that a combination of the ox-by- drogen blow Pipe with the reverbatory furnace, would utterly and completely consume a body ia & short space of time, and an occasional quivering transpa‘ent ether, [ike common heated air, would be the only indication from the bigh chimney of the dead. ———— US Peaches are selling im Louisville at from 34 to 85 per bashel.

Tue Man ror tne Occasion.—We transfer to the Star’s columns the following from the Riehmond South, of ; p last, which shows that our appreciation of the conduct of Mr. John W. Forney, towards bis benefactor, President Buchanan, is coi in by our Q0- temporaries of the press : § “In its impression of tlie Whig in } dulged its readers with cop‘ous extracts from a recent harangue, in which John W. Forney es- says to persuade the American people that the highest functionary of yovernment is the basest villain in the nation: ‘is te the truth of the story: James Buchanan and John W ems have beeo friends ever since the latter emery: from the obsourity of a ¥! printer to the cons spicuous eminence of pimp fora Lay depoar4 gtk uchanan took the destitute apprentice under his protection, led him as oe nes Gomera as by friendly counsel, elevat lo a Fespect- able’ osition ie penn eommended him to the confidence of the Democracy, rejoice@® at his suc- cess, adhered to him in adversity, and at last crowned the long succession of generous service by an act of the most devoted tien. On the other hand, Forney specere to have appreciated the condescension of a patee: and a credulous public gave him the prafse of fidelity in friend- ship, because of the zeal he displa: in his ben- efactor’s service. The event, however, has shown that Forney’s devotion to Mr. Buchanan was the interested constancy of an adveu- juerebe ees to rise with the prosperous for- tunes of a successful statesman. For no sooner aid Forney discover that the arm on which he leaned would not support him in bis presumptu- ous ambition, than he essayed to paralyze it by a treacherous blow. He is a person of ordinar abilities, imperfect education, and equivoca' character. Any employment of special trust or responsibility was quite beyond bis merit, but the President would not dismiss him without an equivalent for bis services. He aspired to a seat in the Cabinet. The Presidemt gave him the ap- pointment of Consul to Live: He rejected the offer, and straightway set himself to oppose and revile the Administration. At last, in the Phrenzy of beffied cupidity,he publicly impeach- es his benefactor of the most atrocious offences against personal and political morality. “Whatever political adversaries may think of Mr. Buchanan as a public man, all admit that his private character js without reproach. His entire life is an admirable illustration of virtu- ous endeavor. We know nothing to bis dis- credit, except bis friendship for Forney, and that may be excused among the amiable infirmities of a fallible nature. The only stain upon Pierce's Administration was the slime of Forney’s sup- port. No generous spirit will reproach Mr. uchanan with the unworthy alliance at the mo- sent when his bosom is torn by the fang of the treacherous beneficiary “OC Mr. Forney little isknown, and the few conspicuous incidents of his life are notorious for no other significance than as eminent examples of personal depravity. In the ficid of literature, the Forrest letter is his most memorable produc- tion. In the province of politics, his most lg. nal achievement was a corrupt interpolation in the journal of the House of Re —an act of clever villainy, of which he esca; the punisbinent in expulsion from office, through a defect of legal evidence. ‘Is this the sort of man "pon whose word the President of the United States must be condemned to perpetual infsmy? ‘The ingenious petit by which Mr. Forney once proposed to blast the reputation of a help- less woman, s' ggests the probabi: of a like fabrication of fa pooper 4 against cb cr gptor4 benefactor. He is an aspiring indivi ual, and we cannot do him the injustice to suspect that he will stop short of the climax of his career. Tae Ixptans 1x WasuIncton aNp OREGON Texnitorigs.—The only allusion to the In- dian difficulties in the Northwest we have been able to find in the papers from that region, re- ceived by the recent mail, is the following, co- pied from the Oregon Statesman, of the 8th of August. Itisshort, but to the purpose, and highly interesting. The Statesman says: “Mr. Jobn Owen. Ind an agent, writes to the Superintendent of Indian Affairs, from Colville valley and Spokzn county, under date of July 11, 1558. He had seen and ‘talked’ with several hostile bands of Indians in that country, and stheir voice was still for war.’ Many of them were well mounted on the U S. Dragoon horses and mules captured from Col. Steptoe’s com- mand; the latter they were offering for sale to the Hudson Bay Company. “Nothing but the war cry, day and night, is heard from one end of this valley to the oth writes Mr. Owen, and he was notified of an tended attack upon his party whenever he a tempted to leave the country. ‘The Indians are all well armed, have plenty of ammunition, and fally prepared for war. They can get all the powder and ball they want from the Hudson Bay Co. at their new post called Fort 49, about thirty miles above Co ville and in the British es - sions. ‘They express a design to fight the regn- lars again, and declare that they will not be sub- dued hem—that one thousand men cannot whip them. Mr. Owen was present at a Council on Spokan river where were yathered eigbt bun- dred warriors, elated with their recent victory over Col. Steptoe’s command. The scalp (hav- ing the sealps taken from Steptoe’s men) and war dance was kept up incessantly.’ Sinermx Comwernce.—We understand that Capt. Collins, whom some of our contempora ries style the “‘U. 5. Commercial Agent for the Amoor river country,”’ expected to sail from’ New York for Europe to-day. He is going to St. Petersburg, it is alleged, in order to perfect his plans with the Russian Govern- ment and the Amoor River Trading Company, for the development of the commerce of Si- beria. Among other objects which he is rep- resented as having in view, is the forwarding of camels across the Pacific to Oregon. Capt. C. is the offieer who, a few years since, made an exploration. of the Amoor river and its con- fluents, at the order of this Government. A lengthy report of the results of his expedition was made to Congress at the last session, of which a synopsis was published in the Star, at the time. We also gave, in connection with our notice of the report, a brief sketch of the plan of organization of the Russian Amoor River Trading Company, which is very similar to that of the British Hudson Bay Trading Company. Rat.eoap Expenses.—The New York Even- ing Post is publishing a series of editorials upon the comparative expenses of railroads in this country and Europe, including Eegland of course. They are carefully prepared, evi- dently by some gentleman who has made the financial results of such enterprises a matter of careful and elaborate study. He is showing conclusively that the more thorough system of Earopean management works results, inde- Pendent of the advantages of the less Cost p* materials and labor on that side, which would, if adopted in this country, turn perhaps more than half the unprofitable railroads into hand- somely paying concerns. A copy of the series of articles to which we refer should be in the hands of every railroad director and superin- tendent in the land. Tax Carco or ArRicans.—A day or two ago we mentioned that the President had or- dered the United States steamer Niagara to be put in readiness with all possible dispatch, to convey the negroes brought to Charleston on the.captured slaver, Echo, back to Africa. The New York Evening Post, of Satarday, con tains the following notice of the progress which has-been made with the work on the Niagara: ‘The Nisgara is now nearly read her rere whe Atvica Se went inte commin: terday; to-da workmen aged ie dowing Sony the taattoeires and prathtas that wer¢sent ou board by the Colonization So- olety, who have entered into @ contract with Government for the care of the captured negroes for @ year.

We have learned this morning, at the De partment, that the Niagara sailed from New York for Charleston yesterday. Wos'r Lut Him Rivz Two Horses.—The New York Courter and Enquirer is deter- mined to unmask Mr. Joha B, Haskin, who,as we heretofore explained, essays to secure his return to the next Congress by playing “‘pig or Puppy,’’ as occasion serves. In its issue of Thursday last that journal says : i “+ Now, we reiterate the ) that Mr. Heskin has repeatedly, and to different Repudij- cans of Westchester, pledged himself to be a Republican; and furthermore. we state of our ken di his nomination is urged ¢ wili support Republi- publican candidates In louse of Representa- ‘Swap and Ovgnsiowrp Laxns.—On the oth i ‘the Commissioner of the General Land Office transmitted to the Governor of Arkansas, a pateit;mumbered one, of swamp snd overflo Jands, in the Helena District, inuring to said State under the grant of Sep- tember 28, 1850, containing 250,193.70 acres. On the same day, the President of the United States signed», patent, numbered four, for }ands in the same district, inuting to the State under the same. grant, containing 224,538.25 acres. Tur Exqines ANd Macuingry' For tor Nuw Navat Vesse1s.—The Board of Naval Engineers for examining the proposals for con- strueting the engines and machinery for the eight new vessels to be built for the United States Navy, will meet at the Department to- day. The Board is composed of Chief Engi- neers William W. W. Wood, Henry Hunt, Daniel B. Martin, and Samuel Archibald. AppointeD.—Thomas Rainey, Esq., of New York, has been appointed by the President special agent to accompany the recaptured Af- ricans and deliver them to the authorities of Liberia. Mr. R. is well known in connection with the enterprise for establishing a line of steamers between the United States and Brazil. For raz Nortawest.—It is said that Gen. Harney will sail for tho Pacific on the 20th inst., and will have a force of about three thousand men when all the contingents arrive. He expects to make short work of the Indian war in that region. Navar.—Lieut. Macomb has been trans- ferred from the Navy Yard, New York, to the receiving ship North Carolina. Lieut. James M. Duncan has been ordered to the New York Navy Yard.
