EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON OITY: THURSDAY...........September 30, 1858. ~ Notice.—Many accounts due the Star office by Persons in Maryland have been placed in the hands of Mr. W. C. Lipscomb, for coilection, who is authorized to collect and receipt for those of its bills he may present to our debtors. —————S—S—S—S—S—SOSOSXS—SX—XS SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Intelligencer, in copying from Hunt's Merchants’ Magazine,an article on the sources of commerce that lie in the Amoor river and its Siberian tributaries, takes occasion to say that— “ Prior to the settlement of California, we were ‘accustomed to look upon the great ions of Siberia, Manchooria, and Mongolia as placed almost entirely beyond the reach or limits of our commercial intercourse, but now that our ports on the Pacific are within thirty days’ sail of the ports of Asia, and now that Russia has deter- mined to open to trade the vast tracts drained by the sources of the Armoor there are not wanting those who venture to predict that the develop- ment of this Siberian trade is destined to pro- duce in the end as great 2 revolution in the com- mercial world as sprang from the discovery of a _——" to India by the way of the Cape of Good ope. The Union rejoices over the result of the California election. In another article, no- ticing that this is the morning on which Forney, of the Philadelphia Press, proposes to publish a crushing assault upon the Administration of Mr. Buchanan, it says: *Paseile Is the descent to depravity, when once embarked on the road; and it is natural to expect that Mr. Forney will sound to-day the nether depths of the ‘baxeness’ which his morals were ble to fathom at Tarrytown “<The fabrication of a private conversation which was never held with the President of the United States, and the forgery of a day’s cabinet proceedings which never oceurred, were feats successfally performed by Forney at Tarrytown. It remains to be seen whether he can accomplish to-day, Foes still more infamous than those. The publication of any genuine Private correspondence which he may have ever had with members of the Administration, ‘base’ as the act would be and damaging to any but a name that can longer receive no damage, is a thing which we suppose that the Administration do not dread in the least; but it is to be remembered. that a forger of conversations with Presidents and of | proetenta of Cabinets, may also be ca- pable of forging private correspondence as well ” ————+2+e-—______ Tue Weexiies —Shepherd, on the corner of Seventh and D streets, has our thanks for the last numbers of Nick Nax, The Picayune, The New York Weekly, The New York Mercury, The Waverly Magazine, Harper's Weekly, and Bal- lou’s Pictorial i Mr. Eruaives.—We learn that the body of a drowned man bas been found in the water in the Vicinity of South Boston, which is supposed to be that of Mr. Ethridge, formerly of this city, Whose mysterious absence we noticed a few days ago. Hiawatua.—The St. Lou Republican in- forms us that Longfellow’s Hiawatha has been set to music by Emile Karst, of St. Louis, and is now sung at the hall of the Mercantile Library Association, in that city, by a troupe comprising a leading soprano, contralto, tevor and baritone The accompaniment is in part orchestral and part upon the piano. It is considered a great and striking novelty. —_—_______.. A TREATY BETWEEN GREAT BRITAIN AND Nicaraova.—The New York Times insists, “on the very best authority,’’ that such a treaty bas been negotiated, and “that the convention in question was drawn up by Sir William Gore Ouseley, and was based by bim on the Cass-Iri- saritreaty. We are further enabled to state, on equally good authority, that the Ouseley conven- tion has been approved by the British Govern- ment, and will, in all probability, be ratitied by that of Nicaragua.” ae [7 Odd-Feliows’ Hail at Pittsburg, Pa., was dedicated on Tuesday with appropriate ceremo- nies. There were several prominent members of the Order from abroed, and among others General Simon Cameron and the venerable PG S. Thomas Wildey, and otficers of the Grand Lodge of Pennsyivania and the Grand E cam p- ment, were present. The members, numbering about fifteen hundred, marched in Procession through the principal streets. After the proces- sion they assembled in the National Theatre, when the dedication address was delivered by the Hon. William F. Johnston ets Tae Size or Betis Coremaia.— The Pos. sessions of the Hudson Bay Company or the territory of the continent over which they exer- cise control contains an area of two millions tive huodred thousand square miles. How much is that? It is fifteen and a balf times larger than the State of California; abont thirty-eight times as large as the State of New York; nearly twice as large as the whole of the thirty-one States of the Union, and if we omit the territory of Ne- braska, is as large as all our States and Terri- tories combined! About one fifth of that extent or more than three times the size of California, 1s said to be fit for agricultural or grazing purpc- nes. —______ From Mexico.—The New Orleans Picayune is in receipt of late and interesting news from Mexico. Up tothe Sth inst. Gen. Robles had not made a lauding, but remained on board the British steamer Ciyde, at anchor off the port. It was the impression among quite a number that be might be calied upon tosucceed Zaloga at the head of the government The proposition recently offered for the recall of Santa Anna was strongly opposed by General Echeary, who threatened to join the liberal army in case the proposition be persisted in. ‘The final success of the liberal army was not doubted. Mr. Forsyth, the American minister, was still in Mexico at Tacubaya, where he would remain for several weeks, or until the vomito disappear- ed sufficiently to render traveling safe. The papers report the vomito prevailing quite extensively at Vera Cruz, and numbers were dy- ing daily. Grex. Lamar.—The Panama correspondent of the New York Herald says : General Lamar is now in Costa barked at Real-jo on the st a: and landed at Panto Arenas so entered that republic. He ts thoroughly disgusted with her sister— that of Nicaragua, and desires never to return to it On bis way down he discovered that his pri- vate papers had been purloined, and was forced to dispatch a messenger back in search of them. Should he not be most disag reeably disappointed with the greasers in Costa Rica, he will resign bis office and start for home. The greasers, with their inveterate trifling, tampering and lying, bave kept the worthy old gentleman in a nervous and feverish state of ex- «itement during the whole time of his sojourn, while the constant grace making over ‘Sancocha and Tort las,"* as an application to the stomach, have much disordered bis digestion. I certainly have a deal of commiseration for Minister, whose worthiness should have commanded a better fate and a more thankful office. He em- eamsbip Columbus, on the Pacific, ana —___ ——_____. THe Beesine ov tHe Averria —Owen Pe- terson, of Sweden, one of the survivors ofthe ill- fated steamship Austria, who hasarrived at New York im the Prince Albert, gives some additional particulars of the terrible disaster. fe states that Le saw thirty passengers inthe hold endeay- oring to get air through the port sights, and be- lieves that every one of them were burnt to death Another passenger believes that all who were below deck must have suddenly expired, as tLe beat was terrific, and escape impossible. At first the fre was no larger than a man’s hat, but as no attempt was made to check it, in five minutes the flames spread with the speed of ligbtaing, cutting off commanication fore and aft eatirely. The engineer endeavored to sbut off the steam from the engine, but the flames drove him back. The screw, therefore kept running fiercely, crushing many who were attempting to escape. ‘The rescued passengers arrived all concur in stating that there was gross mismanagement on the part of those in charge of the steamship ‘The captain gave up at once in despair, and the midshipman abandoned the wheel. They be- lieve that no more were saved beyoud those al- yeady reported WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. Virermta Poxrtics.—The New York Her- ald is again at fault in representing that there exists serious Democratic differences in Vir- ginia. It will be recollected that months ago the Herald represented that the idiosyncracies of Governor Wise upon the Kansas question and the United States Senatorial question, were about to prevail in the Virginia Legisla- ture; and that when that body came to vote upon them, it was found that the Star was cor- rect in asserting—long before—that they were positively without supporters there. True, two or three windy and now notoriously unreliable Virginia Democratic papers (that invariably cough when the Governor sneezes in the pri- vacy of his office room) made noise enough in favor of his pro-Douglas positions to create on the minds of the unitiated the idea that there was a whirlwind of excitement throughout the State in favor of the Governor’s views; but the result proved that the tempest did not rage outside of the teapot. On looking closely into the signs of the times, the Herald will perceive that its terrible commotion about the Virginia Democratic Gubernatorial nomination exists only in that same ever-boiling-over teapot, with, we believe, but three newspaper-spouts out of which the great quantity of waste steam it evolves, escapes. Though doing business in Washington, we spend at least half our time, weekly, in the interior of Virginia, and meet there Democrats from every portion of the State; and in the last three months we have not heard a single difference of preference ex- pressed by any of them upon the subject of their approaching nomination, though the vir- ulent and unjustifiable assaults on the Hon. John Letcher by the three Democratic journals that are whistling against the wind in his case so vehemently and violently, are the theme of universal conversation among them. When Thomas Ritchie wielded the destinies of the Richmond Engutrer, its word may besaid to have been almost ‘‘law’’ with the Virginia Democracy ; the result of their experience of near fifty years with the sagacity, imperson- ality and reliability of its Democracy under his auspices It has taken the present conductors of that journal but a tew short months to write it apparently out of the confidence of the party in the Old Dominion, however honestly and pa- triotically they may have expressed their senti- ments—their likes and their dislikes—and there is no reason whatever to fancy that in setting up their own opinions against what is the al- most unanimous opinion of the party in Vir- ginia with reference to the course of Stephen Arnold Douglas and the reliability of that best tried and ever faithful Virgin’ all now on the stage of public life—John Letcher, they have been actuated by sinister motives. They are evidently gentlemen of en- thusiastic temperaments, who make up in zeal tor their peculiar opinions, what they lack of the political sagacity and discretion which so pre- eminently distinguished the veteran Kitchie’s conduct of the Lxguirer. GoverNMENT Reservations In WAsHING- tox Ciry —The Interior Department has re- ceived from Randolph Coyle, Civil Engineer, a statement of the reservations which belong to the General Government in this city, which was made in conformity with a resolution passed by the Senate last winter, because of the alleged inaccuracy of a former similar statement. The areas of the small reserva- tions at the intersections of streets and ave- nues are not given, as they were not supposed to fall within the meaning of the Senate’s reso- lution. The areas are given in feet and acres, as follows : The President's Square, extending from the street in front of the Mansion to (Cabal strect, ana from Fifteenth to Seventeenth streets, 3,516,791 square feet, or 00.7344 acres The Square, o ¢ginally a partof the President's Sjuare, now called Lafayette Square, 304,694 sq. feet, or 6 9918 acres. The Capitol Square and Mall, comprising the pable g:ounis enclosed and unenclosed sur- rounding the Capitol, between First streets, east and west, and B streets north and south, 2,121, square feet, or 4% 6946 acres; the grounds between First and Third streets west, an Maryland and Pennsylvania av: nars, (botanic vardens,) 514,246 square ft., or LI Su54acr:s; the mall between Third and Four-and-a-balf sts. and Missouri avenue and the canal, 93,175 square feet, or 2 (262 acres; the mail between Third and Four-a: and Maine avenue and the canal, $3,967 square feet, or BO424 acres; the mall between Mis-ouri avenue and the canal,west of Fou’ aid-a-halfst., 3W212 square feet, o. 7 556 acres; ine mall south of the canal, between Four-and-a-half and Sev- enth street, (Armory Square,) 751,335 square feet. or 17 2653 acres; the mall between Seventh an Twelfth streets, («quare of the Smithsonian [n- stitution,) 2,259,192 xquare feet, or 52.5525 acres; the mall between Twelfth and Fourteenth sts., peepee Square,) 1,375,172 square feet, or 1.6364 acres ‘The Park and part of the Mall, being the whole of the public grounds west of Fourteenth street to Tyler’s creck and the Potomac, 1,956,759 square feet, or 44.9217 acres. Observatory Square, originally University Square, $39,074 square feet, or 19 2625 acres. The Arsenal, at G-eenleaf’ Point—original ground, 1,249,900 square feet, or 25 6937 acres; the cent purchase, 1,505,017 square feet, or 414379 ‘es— 3.054.917 square feet, or 70.1316 acres. » Market, entirely covered by f north B street, between tieth and Twenty-first streets west, ° The Centre M arket, comprisins the space be- tween Seventh and Ninth streets west, Band Canal streets, and Pennsylvania and Louisiana avenues, 161.201 square feet, of 3 7006 acres. ‘The Patent Office Square, originally designated the National Church Square, 151,221 square feet, or 4 1603 acres Judiciary Square, $35,374 square feet, or 19.2005 acres.

Reservations Nos. 10, 11, and 12 were divided into lots and sold, per act of Congress, May 7th, 1852. Tue Empire Stare.—Our private informa tion from New York, with reference to the Prospects of the Democraey in the approach- ing State election, is most cheering. Those who represent that there is not union and har- mony from the Narrows to Buffalo with refer- ence to the State ticket and the National Ad- ministration, misrepresent the truth. Indeed, the only ditterences in the party with reference to local affairs even, that we can hear of, exist in the city of New York, where now, as ever before, for ten or fifteen years past, the Demoe- racy are divided into personal cliques, squab- bling over municipal and federal ‘‘spoils.”’” Ag enormous as those spoils are in New York, they are not a tythe of what would be necessary to give every hungry fellow a “‘sop,” if divided out pro rata. As they have annually increased, the quarreling over them has increased quite in equal ratio, until their huge proportions are fairly reflected in the ferocity of the wild eat fight that now constantly rages—in New York city—in the ranks of whichever party that may be dominant for the time being. So far as the effect of the squabbles among the New York city ward Peliticians,of which we read so much in the newspapers, is concerned, the public may rest assured that they will as usual only serve to bring out a heavier vote in November in favor of the Democratic State ticket, however much “seratehing” of munici- pal tickets they may result in. Apropos, we Perceive that the New York Herald adopts our view of the motives controling the goy- erning minds of the recent New York Repy' wen- Market, 112,878 square feet, or square No. 430, liean State Convention in refusing the coalition begged of them so piteously by Messrs. Scruggs, Brooks, Ullman, Headley & Co. The question was—should they sacrifice Mr. Seward’s pros- pects in 1860 in order to obtain the temporary assistance of such of the American party voters as were willing to be traded away by their managing men; and they wisely determined that such a “‘dicker’’ would not pay. So said the Scar at the time; and so says the Herald now. Navau.—A correspondent on board the U.S. ship Cyane, writing at sea on the 26th instant, says: The U.S. sloop-of-war Cyane safled from Nor- folk, Va.,on the 24th fer the Pacific. The fol- lowing is a correct list of her officers: Com- mander, Samuel Lockwood ; Lieutenants, J. A. Spotts, D.R. Lambert, James Stillwell, G. M. orris; Acting Master, A. J. McCartney; Sur- geon, L. J. Williams; Purser, J. D. Murray; Assistant Surgeon, C E. Lining; Marine Officer, A.N. Baker; Warrant officers—Boatswain, J A. Brisco; Gunner, N. B. Wiilet; Carpenter, Wm. Knight; Sailmaker, Samuel H. Boutwell; Cap- tain’s Clerk, T. W. Upshur; Purser’s Clerk, C. F. Float; Master's Mates, Wm. De Graw, Wm. De Berherns, T. V. Donoho, D. D. Phelps. We copy the following from our exchange files : The U.S. steam-frigate Merrimac and sloop- of-war Decatur were at Callao on the 27th ult. ‘The Merrimac was expected to sail soon for Val- paraiso. The sloop-of-war St. Mary’s, Commander Da- vis, sailed from San Francisco on the 27th ult ’ for Manzanilla, Acapuico and Panama The U.S. steamer Saranac, Capt. Kelly, was at Panama on the 20th instant. Dr. Ward, U.S. Navy, bas been ordered from the Decatur to fill the vacancy caused on board the Saranac by the resignation of Dr. Nelson The U.S. steam-frigate Roanoke, Flag Officer Mcintosh, was off Aspinwall on the 20th. Sbe proceeded to Greytown. Com. McIntosh intend- ed to despatch the Saratoga thence to Aspinwall on bis arrival. Mouamwep Pasua.—A private letter from Constantinople, bearing date August 28, has been received by a gentleman of this city. It states that Mohammed Pasha, who visited this country last winter, with a view to the con- struction of a screw line-of-battle ship for the Sultan, had returned home. In his report, he expresses himself in the most grateful terms to- wards the Government and people of the United States. Of the Secretary of the Navy (Mr. Toucey) and his assistant he speaks in terms of warm praise. No disappointment about the vessel is expressed. Neither before his depar- ture nor since his return have they expressed the expectation that the American Government was ‘to have made a contract for a 74 for the Sultan.” ArrroveD.—We learn that the sale by the Christian Indians, of the Delaware tribe, of four sections of land granted to them by the United States, has been confirmed. The right to sell this land was conferred upon the grant- ces by an act of Congress, approved June 8th, 1858. The sale was made in May, 1857, for the sum of $43,400, subject to the action of Congress. The proceeds of the sale are di- rected by the act of June, 1858, to be applied to the purchase of a permanent home for said Indians, and the erection thereon of suitable buildings, &c., which purchages are to be made under the direction of the Secretary of the In- terior, who is likewise authorized to safely in- vest whatever residue there may be of the funds for the benefit of the Indiana. Tue Paracvay Expenition.—It is stated that Judge Bowlin will receive his instructions to-morrow, they having been arranged in Cabi- net meeting yesterday, and that he will leave to-morrow for New York. It is expected the Sabine will on Monday. Dispatches from the U.S. Minister Resident at Panama state that President Lopez is making extensive prep- arations to receive the Paraguay squadron. Tue Ixpians.—Mr. Pritchett, an attache of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, has just returned from a special mission to the Dacotah country. He represents the Indians in that region as be- ing in a restless condition, and liable at any moment to be induced to commit outrages against one another or against the whites. Returnep.—We observe, this morning, that Commissioner Hendricks, of the General Land Office, returned from his visit to Indiana last evening, and was at his post this morning. He is in excellent health, and has evidently been greatly benefited by his brief absence from the routine of official duties.

Taixves—The Panama Star states that a band of forty thieves bad been organized in Costa Rica, and committed several robberies. They finally attacked the residence of the President, but were caught and flogged by the Commander-in-Chief, until they confessed their guilt. A relative of President is sald to have been a member of the band, and a majority of them were relatives of some of the most respectable families in the coun- try. Some of them were banished to Guifo Dulce and others to Chili. Se remreersipreoemsanrnieates ici! Tux Lost ronaur.—All hopes of the safe- ty of the unfortunate Mr. Thurston, who was carried away from terra firma ina balloon, have been abandoned. Search was made through- out the colintry in the vicinity of the place of as- cension, but no traces of the lost man found. Mr. Bannister, who has been searching for Thurston, thinks now that “the violent motion of the balloon, swaying to and fro in the air, and its great elevation (three miles) caused the unfortunate man to resign bis hold and drop to the earth, in which case he must have been dashed into such minute particles as to leave but few traces.”” A body was found on Friday last inthe river near Chatham, C.

We would advise the police, however, still to keep a vigilant watch for suspicious characters, day and night. Our Bridge street friends are becoming clam- orous about the condition of their street. We learn that not only is their business suffering se- tiously from their borrid condition, but that in many instances it requires the utmost lance on the part of the storekeepers to prevent their finer articles of dry goods from becoming seri- ously damaged by the clouds of dust which are constantly being stirred up <* passing vehicles, from the piles of loose earth lying along the cen- tre of the street. We do not like to complain, but in all candor we think tbat the contractors for laying the water pipes bave manifested more tardiness than is justifiable under the circum- stances. The fall fogs onthe River, Rock Creek, and the Canal have been unusually heavy several mornings the last week or ten days. As these fogs are the fruitful source of chilis and fevers, we would advise persons living in low places contiguous to any of the before mentioned water courses to look well to their wind .ws and doors at night, and the ee up of a healthy atmos- phere in their dwellings by having a moderate fire raised every night and morning. Our city thus far never was, we believe, more healthy at this season of the a: We learn that all the principal officers of our new military company, the Potomac — In- fantry, have been regularly commission: the proper authorities. We are also pleased to learn that our friendly hint to the police had the de- sired effect, and that several of them, among the number Officers Robertson and Craig, were Present at the last drill of the Infantry, and pre- vented them from being again aunoyed by thoug htless boys and others. We suppose our Water street merchants, and others, would bave no very serious objections to the contractor who repaired the footway on the north side of it, removing the rubbish, &c., left by bim ont of their wa Arrivals—Schrs Art, Moore, and John Beattie, Sharp, from Philadelphia, coal to C.

We discover that our friends Ary & Shinn, are already beginning to make preparations for their extensive Fall and Winter operations; and we advise all in want of a real rate article in the way of malt liquors of any kind, or good cider—the pure appie juice—toconsult their own interests by giving them a call.
