\ EVENING STAR.” —— SS WASHINGTON OITY: FRIDAY.............-.. September 24, 1868, Notice.—Many accounts due the Star offiee by persons in Maryland have beew placed in the hands of Mr. W. C. Lipscomb, for collection, who is authorized to collect and reeetpt for those of its bills he may present to our debtors. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Union denies the correctness of either the conclusions or the figures of the article in yesterday's Intelligencer on Government ex- penditures. It shows that the /ntel/:geneer has charged the same articles of expenditure twice, in several instances, and contends that the amount of appropriations which the [nted- digencer stated in August last as $81,824,525, should be reduced as follows : Deticiencies for printing.. General deficiency bil Deticiency for armories. Indian treaties, &c..... Treaty with the King of Denmar! 811,153,725 Ot Which [says the Union) would leave $70,671,- 099 99. at ot this, $14 (£35,520 of the appropria- tions for the Post Office Department shoul deducted, as it comes out of the revenue from nd is appropriated only in the event it Freolfected, which would redues the appropria- tions to $56 635.579 09; and, In order to make a fair and just comparison with the appropriations of past years, this should be reduced the further item of $3,600,000, forthe expense of collecting the revenue; for the“@ason that it has been changed from a permanent eo and a law be the Pacific coast authorizing the payment of expenses from the revenue as collected, to an annual appropriation including the expenses of all the atectien districts in the United States, which would, according to the figures of the In- telligeacer, reduce the appropriations to $53,035,- S79 OW. The Uxion, also, notices the proposed over- land route to the Pacific. The Intelligencer comments upon the letter of Collector Schell on the New York Custom- House patronago, remarking : “We regret to say that our doubts seem to have deen misplaced, and the genuineness of this man- ifesto is admitted alike the journals of the Opposition and of the Democracy, though we are glad to add that but a single one among the lat- ter, so far as our knowledge extends, has been willing to defend the doctrine it inculcates—a doctrine which, in propertion to its prevalence, may be received as the sad explanation of the fact assumed by the Government journal when it. asserts that ‘‘more than half’? cf the public pa- tronage, as now @ispensed, “is bestowed upon unworthy and untrustworthy men’’—‘minerable Scavengers who devote four or five hours of in- dolence at their desks,” instead of laboring faith- fully and diligently in the public service.” Sen THE WEEKLY STAR.

Navau.—A private letter received here from an officer on board the sloop-of-war Dale, con- tains further i: has yet been amade public concernin; 3 It bears date August 17th, at Praya. ‘The Cumberland, the flag ship of 3 was to sail from the C: de Verde islands within a few days, bo down the odast of Africa, where the Vincennes, Marion and Bainbridge were already cru'sing. When the latter is overtaken by the Cumberland, she will receive her orders to repair to Brasil to take part in the Paraguay expedition. The Dale was to leave Porto Praya ina few days for the bights of Benin and Biafra. Passed Assistant Surgeon Shermaf had been tried by a court-martial on board the Dale, the court being composed of Captain John 8. Missroon, President; and Lieuts. W. A. Parker, John S. Worden, Jobn T. Barrand, and W. P. A. Camp- bell. Purser Cunningham acted as Judge Ad- voeate. Lieuts. E. L. Winder, F. @. Dallas, and W. P. A. Campbell had reported for duty on board of the Dale to fill up the vacancies oeeasioned by deaths. The seaman who was sent home ona eriminal charge, as we men- tioned a few days ago, is W. W. Thacker, of Beston. The U. 8. Coast Survey steamer Corwin, from Portland, arrived at Salem on the 20th inst., for: the purpose, it is said, of re-surveying the harbor. The following is a list of her officers : Lieut. Wm. G. Temple, U. S. Navy, command- ing; Lieut. James Rochelle, U.S. Navy; Lieut. Hi. M. Garland, U.S. Navy; Mr. Louis Karcher, U.S. Coast Survey; Mr. Hugh Clark, chief engineer; Mr. John H. Golding, assistant en- gineer; Mr. Sewall Drinkwater, pilot. By a telegraphic dispatch purporting to be from New York, we observe that the U. 8. steamers Water Witch, Fulton and Arctic, and the sloop-of-war Preble, of the Paraguay expe- dition, are reported as arriving there on Wod- pesday night. We are inclined to think that the dispatch is dated wrong, or that the port arrived at is Norfolk, instead of New York, as the Fulton did not leave this city until Wed- nesday morning. “RENDER UNTO C#SAR THE THINGS THAT ARE C #84r’s.”’— Wasuincton City, September 21, 1558. To the Editor of the Star: It appears, from several of the journals of the day, that, at the recent celebration of American Independence in Liverpool, by citizens of the United States, the following was one of the reg- ular toasts : “The States of the American Union: Distinct as the billows—one as the sea.”’ On a similar occasion, and on the same day, at Pawtucket, R.1., the Mayor of Providence of- fered the following sentiment: “The States of the Union: Long may they be distinct as the billows and one as the sea.”’ That two gentiemen, three thousand miles apart, without the aid of telegraphic communi- cation, should utter the same sentiment in the same language on the same day might, without explanation, be regarded as a mysterious coinci- dence ; and it would not be surprising if spirit- wal communication should be invoked to solve the problem Now, while the credit of the sentiment belongs to Montgomery, and may be found in his Poem entitled the Ocean, I claim the honor, whatever it may be, of having first consecrated it to the service of patriotism, and thus to have secured for it whatever celebrity it may enjoy, in this connexion, on either side of the Atlautic. During several years of service as Chaplain to the U. 8. Senate, it was my custom to adapt the opening prayers of Congress to the circumstan ces of the country as they were developed from time to time. it so happened that our ‘little sister’? Rhoda, (Rhode Island,) some years ago got into a snarl which became so serious and complicated as to Tequire the interposition of the Federal Govern- ment. Cherishing an ardent affection for the Union, and shuddering at the approach of seem- ing danger to its integrity, I ventured, “standing in my lot,’’ to invoke the Great Ruler of Nations to allay the irritation which ‘existed among us, and that these confederated States might never Sor @ moment lose sight of the great fact, that, while distinct as the billows, they were one as the sea.” A distinguished Senator, on the same day, ina Pubiic speech in the Senate Chamber, endorsed “the sentiment of the chaplain’s prayer,’’ and complimented it as appropriate and beautiful The sentiment thus taken out of its original con- nection, and enjoying senatorial Patronage, soon won its way to every section of the country. Since that time, I have often been gratified at the growing popularity of my ado, ebild, albeit its father has seldom, if eve: recognised. Now that it has acquired a trans-Atlantic reputa- tion, I feet as if I would Ike to sit under the shadow of its mantle, and look quietly out upon the brightening fires of Patriotism; rejoicing that I have been permitted thus to place even a bor- rowed offering — its sacred altar. Very respectfully, Sertimes Tustin. Tux Cargo or Necrogs.—The Navy De- partment received, to-day, a series of dispatches from Captain John S. Chauncey, of the U.S. steam frigate Niagara, which vessel is em- ployed to carry back the s! ve cargo of the Echo to their native land. The dispatches give full details of the vessel’s passage from New York to Charleston, and it is stated that such arrange- ments had been made on board as would insure the comfort of the negroes. Provisions were made for keeping the sexes separate, and for the enforcement of such police regulations as shall be thought essential during the voyage. Capt. C.writes that his efforts were all heartily seconded by his subordinate officers. On arriving at Charleston, Capt. C. deemed it best to allow no direct communication be tween the vessel and those on shore on account of reports which had reached him of the prev- alence of the yellow fever in the city. His communication with the Marshal was, there. fore, made through a pilot whom he mployed. He also speaks of having received the negroes on board on the 20th inst., of which an account has already been published in the Star. He speaks of the negroes as being in an unhealthy condition generally. Two-thirds of their num- ber were suffering with diarrhoea, and about one-third with ophthalmia. Two of their num- ber had died within twenty-four hours after being received on board the steamer. The last communication is dated on the 2ist inst., the day on which the Niagara sailed. Tus Bovxpary Survey patween Mexico AND tas Usitgp Stares.—The Department of the Interior is now engaged in dispatching the party to make this survey. It is expected that they will reach Indianola, Texas, about the 15th of October, and leave San Antonio about the first week in November, for the Rio Grande, near El Paso. When they arrive at the latter point they will at once begin opera- tions on the 32d parallel. This will allow an earlier start at the work than has heretofore been expected, but inorder to fasilitate their operations, and save expense, the department has determined to reverse the order of the survey and commence at the point where it is contemplated by the law, (the act of June Sth, 1858,) that the labors of the expe- ition shall terminate. A Roonsackx.—Yesterday, we pubtished an extract from the New York Times embracing ® statement from a New Berlin (Prussian) Journal, in which it was alleged that five hun- dred Austrian priests had memorialized the Archbishop of Vienna for certain reforms, we Presume, in the discipline or customs of The Church in that country. Subsequently, on investigating the proba- bility of the story, we find that it is simply an old Pearse that has been traveling the rounds of European y ry journals, for sone hae pectin: Sem wa formally and emphatically contradicted by the Archbishop of Vienna himself, as the Star aims to disseminate correct i cerning all things to which jt ogeasion to state this fact, om Tofers, we take Brazit ax Paraguay Expgpiriox.—The following is a complete list of the vessels and their pe pay wep officers which are in expedition : to be fing Officer—Wai.

The New York Evening Post has a very able and analytic edito- rial upon the subject, and for equal lengths of mileage, gives the subjoined relative cost of the railway system of the two nations: Annual expense of American rail- WAYS cccccccccccess++ soso Annual = of English railways, same mileage...... $120,000,000 Annual difference.........00+ $40,000,000. Average annual expense for mainten- ance of way of American lines..... 3,000,000 Average annual expense of English lines, same mileage......sseeeeeees 12,500,000 Annual difference..... eeeeeee 220,500,000 Aver: ual cost of fuel for Amer- sececees ++ 18,000,000 Average annual cost of fuel for Eng- lish lines, same mileage. ++ 7,500,000 Annual difference...... seers 810,500.00 Total annnal*expense of American VRIRWEYS 5 oc cic nse ncses coodecac stone si71 Total annual expense of English rail- ways. 000,000 100,000,000 Total annual difference...... $71,000,000 So that for the same mileage, there is a dilfer- ence against the American system of $71,000,000 in the total expenses, whilst in the consumption of fuel alone there is in the European system less than 68 per cent of the quantity burned in our lo- comotives. Obviously, the basis of eny comparison of Eu- Topean and American railways must be their rel- ative economical results. Here is a tabular state- ment of the receipts and expenses of certain lines in Europe and America : Preentege Receipts of experse Je run, om rec"pte. England, 1556 “ne France, 1955 43 New York, 1 57 Massachusetts, 18 62 Massachusetts, 1856.. 1.83 1oe 59 With regard to time, it is stated that the aver- age speed on English railways is 25 per cent. faster than that of American trains. The Great Western was the fastest road in the world, and its express ran regularly 117 miles in precisely two hours, or 58.5 miles per hour. In New York State, in 1855, the average rate of trains was 24 miles per hour. In Massachusetts, in 1851, the average rate was 23 99 miles per hour, and in °57 the averaye sunk to 22% miles. We have only published a few—albeit the most important items from the document before us—yet there is sutti- cient to suggest ideas of railroad reform in many leading particulars. fem arn (Friday) EVENT sons are fraternally sets North, will be hel PAIS fie o’ciock.
