_ EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON OITY: THURSDAY.. - September 23, 1858, Notice. —Many accounts due the Star office by persons in Maryland have been placed in the bands of Mr. W. C. Lipscomb, for collection, Who is authorized to collect and receipt for those of its bills he may present to our debtors. —————— SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Union treats of the canvass in Penn- aylvania, saying : a “ The prospects of the Democracy are growing daily aes aaa mote encour 4 in this great ‘and important State. Out of Philadelphia, in all the interior districts, the issue of Lecompton and anti-Lecomptea sunk out of sight and thought, in the Democratic ranks. The party are united on the great living issues which they have with the Black Republicans on the one hand and the Know-Nothings on the other ; and treat the question of Leeompton as a dead and buried issue. The opposition. on the contrary, are demoralized, paralyzed and divided They cannot get along with the record which their Congressmen made for them here last winter.”” The Union, also, in noticing the horror of Collector Schell’s letter on party patronage ex- pressed by the Inteltigencer, inquires of that ‘venerable journal “whether, under its admin- istration, Mr. Granger turned out of office two thousand Democrats and put in their places two thousand ‘Whigs’ in the first month of Gen. Harrison’s administration? That trifling affair, the Union says, occurred at a time when the Intelligencer received more money from the Government every year than it costs to support three hundred New York custom- house appointees.”’ Further, the Union thinks that, so far, the Atlantic Tolegraph is a failure. The Intellizencer marks what it considers errors in the Union's recent resume of the Government expenditures and gives its own Statement, as follows : + + $26,387,922 6.051, 923 25,495,383 13,976,000 . y Lan and Old Debt..... ececee. oe 30,018 Redemption of Public Debt. 3,564,520 Premium on the same. 574.443 Interest on Public Debt. «+ 1,567,055 Payment Treasury Notes. 3,639,300 Real expenditures for fiscal r Deduct year’s real revenue...

One evening, after the lady had sung entrancingly at the opera, an im- miense crowd awaited her appearance at the stage-door, and, when she entered her carriage, the horses were unyoked in a twinkling, and a hundred young gentlemen took their places. FRom Sart Laxe.—The Salt Lake mail has arrived at St. Louis, having been twenty days on the way. Brigham Young still remains housed. Every thing was peaceable between the Gentiles and the Saints The troops at Camp Floyd were ail well; General Johnston intends wintering there. The Indians were quiet, but agreat excitement prevailed in re- gard to Pike's Peak gold mines. They are said to be as rich as those of California. Companies were leaving the borders every day for the dig- gings. —— Tue Ressiax Navy.—The efforts which Rus- sia has lately made to increase her Navy are at- tracting atteation in Europe. These etforts are 50 considerabie that her own building yards are not sufficient for the purpose, and she has been having vessels built in England, France and America, under the superintendence of her own naval officers. The Baltic fleet numbers twenty- seven ships of the line, and several smaller ves- Sels, without counting gua boats. Her flotilla in the Caspian sea has been increased, and she is creating a respectable naval force in Eastern Siberia, and at the mouth of the river Amoor. Gagzat Daownsinc oF Gaassuorrens.—The St. Paul (Minn) Minnesotian of the Mth inst ’ Says that recent accounts from the Selkirk settle- ment, contradict the previous reports oftue de- struction of the crops by grasshoppers; on the contrary, the crops were most plentiful, und the colony was never better off for supplies. About the 15th of June the whole country was filled ‘with young grasshoppers, just hatchedf and great fears were entertained of their destroying the crops, but as soon they could fly, they all Tose in the air, and attempted to cross the Red Civer, but were nearly all drowned in the pas- sage. Later from the Rie de la Plata. The Buenos Ayres correspondent of the New York Express, under date of September 30, vives some véry characteristic performances up in Par- aguay. Lopez has aroused the ire of the British Lion, and if her Majesty's Minister is as spunky as he has the credit of being, Lopez may have an English war on bis hands. Mr. Christie, the British Minister near the Argentine Confederation, started some weeks since for Paraguay on board H.

Soon after b's arrival he opened negotiations, and as a preliminary step waited upon his excel- lenecy, the President, to Present bis credentials. At bis first visit he found Lopez dressed in a - posterous costume, half military, balf diplomat- je, aad some parts of it so grossly exaggerated as to make it extremely ridiculous. Asa partof Lis uniform, Lopez wore an immense cocked bat, ali fringed with swansdown and bedizened with vold lace; and this ornament he persisted in eeping on bis head during the whole interview; at which discourtesy Ms. Christie took serious umbrage, as be js most unyieldiug in matters of etiquette. He retired from the interview rather abruptly, and made official complaint of the af- front the President had put upon her Majesty's Minister by wearing bis hat at an official inter- view; whereupon the sapient Paraguayan Secre- tery replied to the indignant Pienipo that ber Majesty, the Queen, always wore her crown and Tobex of state when she received foreign minis- ters, and that the President of Paraguay saw no pons — — to Trucs his bat, which with him ace of the ~ ir ensign of royait aia layed by — Breil ears ensign of royalty Mr. Christie did not wait tohold any more cor- Tespondence with xo {ilustrated a government.

Tae Hox. Suerrarp Ciemens, it will be recollected, was wounded a few days since in a duel, near Richmond, Va., in which 0. Jen- nings Wise, Esq., editor of the Richmond En- quirer, was his antagonist ; the cause of which was the interpretation put by the Enguirer on the act of Mr. C. in undertaking to announce the withdrawal of Judge Brockenborough from the canvass for the approaching Virginia Dem- ocratic gubernatorial nomination. Those who know Mr. Clemens are well aware that, how- ever imprudent his act may have been, it pro- ceeded from no dishonorable motive. Lest those who did not know him might imagine otherwise under the representations of the par- tizan press, Mr. Clemens, ere going to the field, wrote the following statement of the circum- stances inducing him to assume to act for Judge Brockenborough, which led to the duel. It found its way, a day or two since, into the columns of the Richmond Sozth, from which we transfer it to those of the Scar, az embracing not only interesting memoranda upon the cur- rent politics of Virginia, but as containing an entirely satisfactory vindication of the recti- tude of the intentions of its author in the mat- ter of which it treats : Statement.— Being about to close a personal issue raised ayainst me by one of the editors of the Enquirer, in connection with a correspond- ence between myself and Judge Brockenbrough; and being anxious to preserve, in case I shou not survive the meeting, the motives which act- uated me towards Judge Brockenbrough, in sending to the Enquirer the letter which is the Primary cause of the present difticnity, 1 prepare now, under the most solemn sanction of my con- science, this speeific and detailed account, in writing, for publication : I met Judge Brockenbrough at Grafton, on the evening of the day before he opened Court at Clarksburg He bas never received from me, from the period of our first acquaintance to the pee hour, anything but kindness I amon ntimate terms with many of bis connexions and the highest considerations were and are operat- ing upon me to promote his interest. We walked outof the hotel and promenaded up and down the platform in front of it. It was n ght—about the _— of the arrival of the Express train from the West. Among other subjects, upon which ‘we conversed, was that of the Governorship ; and Mose substance and effect of what passed, is as fol- OWS : I told him that I had seen his name presented as a candidate, and asked what his position was. He 5 per as near as I can recollect, as follow: that he already held a position which was e: tirely congenial to his tastes, studies, and incl nations ; that his friends were looking for his pr motion in the line of his profession, and that was was much more acceptable to him ; that be did not want or wish any executive office, and not that of Governor—ior he and the Hon. Jobn Letcher, one of the aspirants, perfectly under- stood each other; that they were good friends ; that he desired no conflict, especially with him, nor any other person who sought the place ; and, that much of the zeal which had been manifested towards bim, be apprehended, sprung from cir- cumstances which [ shall not now repeat. Just before we passed into the door of the hotel, as the light struck bis face, I said to him, “* Judge, can I state your position?’? He replied, “* I authorize you todo sv.’’ In justice to him. { must, however, mention that when | called his attention to this fact, after the publication of bis first letter to the Enquirer, he did not recall it, and I use it now, merely as one of the inducing causes, in my own mind, which controlled my action. After we passed into the hotel and stood at the counter of the office, and in the presence of ano- ther person from his own town, Samuel Letcher, brother of the Hon. Joba Letcher, I remarked to Judge Brockenbrough that there was a gentle- man then in Clarksburg, who held a Pederal ottice. and who seemed halting between two a, but strongly disposed to advocate bis claims He replied, “I will see him when I get i Varnes and repress anything of that tind. I bad no idea of the press, when I first spoke to him; but the conviction on my mind was such, from his whole tone, and manner, and language, that, when [ returned home, and found appearances tending to conflict between bimself and Mr Letcher, I reflected on our interview, and thought I would do Judge Brockenbrough an act of kindness in defining his Position by a letter to the Enquirer; because, in doing so, | was Preventing the very result which he himself had so emphatically deprecated—a rivalry between himself and bis friend. This is the = motive which ever influenced me; and I bere solemnly avow, by my belief in God, and in view of my eternal responsibility to Him, that I never had any other. As corroborative of this, about the time I sent my first letter to the Enquirer, and before it was published, I addressed a letter to Judge Brock- enbrough, then holding court at Clarks arg, ap- prizing him of what I had done; stating, in terms, that 1 had endeavored to define his posi- tion jndiciously, and believed, or hoped, it would accord with his views, or meet his appro- bation; that I seat him, at the moment, no copy of my letter to the Enquirer, because | desired to leave him utterly non-committed as to its lan- guage until it was published; that to it I was alone privy, and for it alone responsible. ‘To the truth of this revelation I not only pledge my honor, but whatever hope | may have in the world to come; and I here appeal to Judve Brockenbrough, and to Samuel Letcher, of Lex- ington, Va., in case I should not survive, to vin- dicate my memory, in so far as it may be impli- cated by anything herein contained which comes within their own knowledge. [Signed] SHERRARD CLEMENS. Richmond, Va , Sept. 16, 1558. or of publication, Nava —The Commander-in-chief of the Paraguay Expedition, Commodore Shubric! was expected on board his flag-ship, the Sa- bine, yesterday, and preparations were being made to salute him. Commodore Shubrick is now 51 yearsin the Navy, eighteen of which he has spent at sea. By way of England circulars have been re- ceived from the U. S. Pacific and China Squad- rons. The U. S. steamship Merrimac was at Callao July 27th, all well. The Decatur had sailed on a cruise. The Mississippi was still at Hong Kong 6th July, but had everything ready for sea. The Germantown had sailed from Canton River. The Powhatan and Min- nesota were, as per last advices, all well, at the Gulf of Pechee-lee. The United States ships of war Falmouth and St. Lawrence were at Rio Janeiro, August 11th, all well. They would sail soon for the River Platte. The State Department has received informa- tion that the mutineers of the ship Tartar were at Sal, one of the Cape de Verde Islands, and the Secretary of the Navy has transmitted in- structions to the flag-officer of the African Squadron to send them to the United States for trial. Tux Postuaster Guneraw has ordered that all “ supplements’ or *‘ extras’’ folded within regular issues of daily or weekly journals—not actual and bona fide editions of such publiea- tions, conveying intelligence of passing events and general intelligence—subject the whole package to letter postage. As the Post Office Department hasfor geveral years been the sub- ject of many animadversions on account of the excess of its cost over the revenue accruing from it, the attention of its officers has been directed to the various classes of fraud to which it is subjected. and every effort will be made to prevent them in future. Prom the carclesaness of local postmasters in allowing such violations of the rules as that above mentioned, and others of similar character, and from illegal uses of the franking privilege, it is without doubt true that the Government is annually defrauded of large sums of money which would accrue from s rigid enforcement of the laws. Probably very nearly equal, in the aggregate, to that of the excess of the expenses of our postal , Over the income arising from it. Under the present excellent management, a great many abuses have already been corrected, and wo buave reason to believe that efforts will be con- tinued to entirely break up, as far as it can practically be done, all illegal uses of this in- stitution. — Tux Laxv Laws.—A matter is now unde: consideration, by the Attorney General, of in- terest to the State of Arkansas. A law passed by Congress, grants to that State the swamp lands with jurisdiction; but subsequently, aud before the issuing of patents under that net, Congress granted, for railroad purpdses, lands which were partially included within the fizst, or swamp land grant. The questions arising are, whether the State had any title to the lands under the first grant, inasmuch as no patents were issued nor boundaries estab- lished ; and whether the subsequent action of Congress sets aside the first grant, when no terms occur in the law repealing or restricting the former act. Frou Kansas,—We have late information from Kansas, which shows that the Democracy are at length organizing there to some purpose. Thus, at recent municipal elections in Leaven- worth city and Atchison they triumphed hand- somely over the Republicans. At Atchison they carried their Mayor and seven out of the nine Councilmen elected, and five of the latter were original pro slavery men. Apropos of Kansas matters. The Republi- cans there are endeavoring to make capital out of the notion that the President would not postpone the land sales advertised soon to take place in that Territory. Thus, they are abus- ing him at a great rate on the strength of their own allegation tothateffect. They have fairly been caught with their—shoes down at the heel, in this matter; as the order was issued for post- ponement on the 6th inst. We are inclined to believe that, in that matter, the pre-emption- ists and other settlers interested, owe much to the prompt exertions of Major R. H. Weight- man who, (though a resident of this city in Government employment) is a citizen of the Delaware land district of Kansas, and Thomas B. Sykes, Esq., of the Lenvenworth land dis- trict, for their successful exertions to satisfy the President that justice and prudence demanded the postponement so necessary for the interests of the Territory. One or tuk “Taree THovsann.’’—Through the exertions of the Pension Bureau, in this city, the Rev. Isiah Huntley, of Vermont, who ig said to have been one of the pious, illustrious and never-to-be-forgotten ‘3,000 New England clergymen’’ who signed the famous bull of ex- communication levelled at the head of Presi- dent Buchanan, has been indicted for forgery in the preparation of evidence on which to pro- cure land warrants! Paracuay.—A rumor has obtained currency here that a Commissioner had been dispatched hither, from Paraguay, to arrange existing dif- ficulties with that government, but that he was detained by the quarantine regulations at Ha- vana. We are informed, however, that no in- timation of the matter has been received at the State Department. Tue Sraxisn Dest.—We understand that on Monday last the Spanish Minister paid into the State Department twenty-five thousand five hundred dollars, interest of the debt of Spain to American citizens. Removen.—The Land Office at Stillwater, Minn., has been removed to Cambridge, in the same State; and that at Fairbault, Minn., to St. Peters, in same State. APPOINTMENT BY THE Presipgnt.—Thomas E. Massey, to be Register of the Land Office at Forest City, Minnesota. Tux WeatueR.—The following report of the weather for this morning is made from the Morse Telegraph line to the Smithsonian Institution. The time of observation is about 7 o’clock: SerTEMBER 23, 1958.

The t dings senta thrill of joy toevery heart. Some reperts located the spot where the balloon had fallen in the woods near Bear Creek, in the vicinity of Lake St. Clair, to the north of Chatham. Others made it at “the Puce,”’ others still at Belle River, and others at Baptiste Creek, all localities on or near the G. W. Railway. We have mate careful and extended inquiries upon the other side, sufficient to justify us in stating that the balloon has come to the earth, and further, that, in all probability, it was emp- ty! From a gentieman who was at Baptiste Creek on Saturday affernoon, between 3 and 4 o'clock, we learn that a large balloon was seen to descend to the ground in the vicinity of a tract of w |, across a wide warsh some three miles from the station, early in the afternoon. This fact was told him by the station master, who at that time bad heard nothing of the occurrence at Adrian, as had not the gentleman, eur informant There was, therefore, no eagerness to furnish news or to feed excitement, which would lead any person to exaggerate, but evidently the sim- ple statement of the fact The gentleman being in haste to return to Windsor, and knowing naught of the interest at- tacbiug to this balloon, made no farther inquiry, and immediately left. The balloon was des- cribed as a large one, and is, there is little doubt, the same one that took up the ill-fated Thurston. W bat is his fate ts still wrapped in as profound ery as ever. If it shall prove, as there seems little doubt it will, to be empty, the fate of the mronaut is rendered almost certain; but whether it will ever be known fora certainty may well be question. The balloon was seen at Chatham about two o'clock Saturday afternoon, xo it was thought by the telegraph eperator. It was about as large in appearance as a kite, and was thought to be such until the news of this affair reached there. —________ ANOTHER BALLoon Accipent—Two Boys IN THE CLoups !—The Cincinnati Gazette, of Mon- day, has the following startling announcement. It of course “ needs confirmation ;”* We learn x @ passenger over the Ohio and Mississippi Ral: » Who arrived yesterday morning, that on Friday afternoon there was a balloon ascension from the Llljnois State Fair Grounds, at Centralia. The wronaut agcended at 4 o'clock p. in , and at6 o'clock descended about 10 miles southeast of Centralia, and, fastening his balloon to a fence, went into a house near by for refreshments. While he was eating, two boys, one S years old and the other 4 years old, clambered into the balloon and unfastened the trope. ‘The balloon ascended rapidly, and when our informant left, nothing bad been heard from the young adyenturers.
