ETE a Se SO cree Ae SS WASHINGTON Of!TY: MONDAY October 4, 1858, SPIKIT OF THE MORNING PRESB. The Urtion shows that the verdict in Cali- fornia has been in favor of the Kansas policy of the Administration. Further, it ssys that the assertion that the Democratic preat of the South’ is supporting Judge Douglas is too monstrous for public credulity, or to require Serious refutation. ae The, Intelligencer replies to the Union's comments on the Inteléagencer’s notice of the 107 There were two hundred deaths in Phila- deipbia last week—an increase of 29.

The favora- Die issue of the long struggle between the Atlantic lines gives great encouragement to the entire railway interest, and it is generally believed that a beneficent change in the minagement of this vastinterest will be worked. The Buffalo Convention will endorse the main features of the St. Nicholas agreement and ategt a general pol- icy in conformity therewith. Tae Nrearacva Ling.—The Cass-Irisarri steamer, Capt. Slocum, belonging to the Ameri- can, Atlantic and Pacific ship Canal Company, arrived at Key West after a rough passage, on the 18th ult., all safe—proving herself a good and staunch sea-boat.

SS Gorp us Nesmaska —As a counterpoise probs- bly tothe Kansas gold stories, the Nebraskians are starting reports of gold discoveries of marvel- ous richness in their own territory. The mines are sald to be found on Cherry Creek, a tributary of the south fork of the Platte river. They are therefore located in the same tract of country as the Kansas mines, only a little farther to the north. The character of the reports from this new — may be judged by the following taken from a letter written at Plattsmonth, (N. T=) “Two trappers came in who had been to the mines, and they say that gola is as Plenty as copper is at the mines of Lake superior, in Mica igan. They were there only three weeks, and bad no tools but their hatchets, bowie knives, and frvingpen, and they brought with them in dust, as the proceeds of their leker, four thousand « Hine hundred dollars.’ Tux Octover Exections.—Elections are tobe held this month in the nine following States, viz: Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, lowa, South Caro- lina, Pennsylvania, Onto, Indiana, and Minnes ta The elections will take Place on the following days: Oct. 4th, (to-day,)—Georgia, for local offi- cers; Florida, fo: a member of Congress; Missis- aippi, for a member of Congress, to fill the vacan- cy in Quitman’s district; Iowa, for Congressman and State officers.

He commences with the statement that the “fleet is composed of such craft as no other nation would think of sending to war.’’, Were this true, we cannot perceive why it should be alleged as an accusation -againat.either. President Buchanan or Secre- tary Toucey, as it does not rest with either of them to have navies built. Thedeveral vessels &re then noticed, and condemned in off-hand style, plainly showing that the writer knows nothing about them, and did not care whether he uttered truths or falsehoods. The fiag-ship Sabine never was intended to go to the scene of operations, as it is of too great draught to ascend the river; and therefore his observa- tions concerning it are inapplicable. It is the flag-ship of the Brazil squadron, not of the Paraguay fleet. It is, however, a staunch, sea-worthy vessel, all the better for being “thirty years on the stocks.’’ The other Gov- ernment vessels—those intended for the expe- dition—are the best belonging to the navy, of such draught as to render it practicable for them to ascend the river. The store-ship Sup- ply is the store-ship of the squadron—not ex- pected to be used for fighting. The chartered vessels are not “passenger steamboats,’’ as the Journal asserts, but heavy, substantial, and staunchly-built freight carying propellers. The Commodore of this ‘extraordinary squad- ron’’ is not “over seventy years of age,’ by several years yet. He is a thorough-going, brave, sagacious officer, well versed in the naval service, and as active as ordinary men of forty-five or fifty. If his flag-ship cannot as- cend the river, the Commodore is not compelled to adhere to her, but may, if occasion requires, or convenience dictates, transfer his flag and himself to any other vessel of the squadron, even one of the smallest steamers. As for the delay in fitting out the fleet, the writer of the article aliuded to only exposes his reckless determination to find fault in advert- ing toit. Paraguay is noton the coast, nor ac- cessible by any sea, bay, or strait. It is far in the interior of South America, and must be reached by a river only navigable for vessels of light draft. There are not a sufficient number of such vessels for an expedition of this char- acter belonging to our Navy, and those in the service were employed in various quarters of the globe, and had first, for the most part, to be brought home and fitted out especially, be- fore they were suitable for this service. The deficiency had to be supplied by chartered ves- sels, and as it was desirable to get the best that could be obtained, and at the lowest rates, a good deal of time was necessary to hunt out and bargain for such. Again, suitable officers had to be called home from distant stations and allowed time to get ready. As it is, many of those who will be employed on this expedition have just returned from long cruises, and were allowed to spend but a few days with their fam- ilies. We will venture to say that it would require less than one half the time to prepare our naval force for an effective demonstration against one of the leading Powers of the world, than is requisite to fit out an expedition against this insignificant inland nation. In the former case, our large class naval vessels could be em- ployed, together with any required number of merchantmen of heavy draught, none of which are available for this duty. This is the third naval expedition, we be- lieve, ever fitted out by this Government, (the naval demonstrations against England and Mexico were not expeditions,) and as both the others were successful, though of less force and inferior equipments, it is hardly reason- able that we should not be almost sanguine of the success of this. Those determined to find fault, therefore, do well to commence now, as no occasion will probably exist if they await the issue of the event. It is, however, singu- lar that they should object to the Commodore on account of his age, when it is remembered that, only a little while ago, the same class of fault-finders found cause of censure in the re- tiring of Commodore Stewart by the Naval Retiring Board. That gallant old veteran is over eighty years of age, yet he was roundly asserted to be competent to perform the duties pertaining to the active list, and the act of retiring him was denounced as one of grossest injustice. But, so it is. Such newspapers as the Jovrna/ have determined not to be satis- fied with anything a Democratic Administra- tion may do, and hence, we are not surprised at this attack. On the contrary, our wonder has been excited by the fact of the objectors keeping quiet so long as they have done. Should the expedition prove unfortunate, we shall expect to hear them rejoice over the coun- try’s mishap, and endeavor to attach all the blame to Mr. Buchanan. Tne “CAnoopLING” OF THE LAST Session. The impudent denial on the part of the Spring- field, [ilinois, organ of Mr. Stephen Arnold Douglas, of the unblushing conspiring and in- triguing against the Democracy on the part of Judge D. with the Republican leaders—who are not to be blamed for using when they found ‘‘Barkis was willing’’—will have cur- rency but a short timelonger. A friend writes us from St. Louis, under date of the 25th ult., that F. P. Blair, jr., is preparing to substan- tiate every allegation of his letter written to Gratz Brown, last winter, explanatory of the overtures of Douglas to himself, Mr. Colfax, and other Republican members of both houses of Congress, for a thorough union and alliance between the Republican party and the Phunk- ey-Fellows. On the part of Douglas & Co. the concession to have been made was the substi- tution of Blair, the United States; and, on the part of the Republicans, as Douglas fondly hoped—though the parties of the other part to the contract Were not 80 green as to commit themselves on Paper to any such poliey—the re-election of Douglas by the votes of the Republicans of the Illinois Legislature While Douglas fancied he had them bound upin some such promise, not a word of denial of his understanding with the Republican lead- ers did he breathe, though it was boasted of as freely in the columns of the New York Tribune and 7:mes, as it was charged in the Star and other papers standing by the policy of the De- mocracy of Congress and the National Admin- istration. But we are losing sight of the purpose for which we took pen in hand a few moments since; which was simply to say that Blair, Brown & Co. design proving, past any possi- bility of future denial, that so long as Douglas had hopes of the support of the Republicans in Illinois, he was ready to pledge himself up to his eyes to the success of any and every possible ae for the overthrow of the Demooracy, not only upon the vital party issue of that win- ter, but in the Presidential contest of 1860.
