WASHINGTON OITY: TUESDAY.......-++ss0se. October 12, 1868, SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRSSS. The Unton says there is an effort on foot to give the Democracy a distinctive Northern and Southern aspect; and speaks boldly for the union of the party in defence of the decisions of the Supreme Court. It continues: ““We bave had <pre> of time-serving, of itors, wl “ telling pinc\ ples a opiates to stop the clamor of one set of eat another be ele- vated to power and position.

It dixcnsses the qnestion on the basis of an exclusive interest and claim on the part of the United States to the occupation and use of the Isthmus passages. This is an er- ror, in view of what bas already been published of General Cass’s despatch to Mr. Lamar, which ean bardly be reconciled with upright intentions.

Public atten Particular! vania, we may not inappropriately say that the’ state of its public.affairs are just now @ych are likely to work temporary to the Democracy there. ‘The policy of Gov. Packer's administration with reference to the State’s public works—a reprehensible and dis- astrous one, indeed—together with his position of practical; hostility to the Kansas policy of the Democracy, together, must injure the State ticket to the extent of some 30,000 or 40,000 votes—all of which, in a party contest not thus embarrassed, or in one upon the merits of the the National Democratic Administration, might surely be expected to come up manfully for the Democratic party cause. é In a large proportion of the counties split local tickets, growing out of the state of things we explain above, are being run; which, in turn, operate to the injury of the prospects of the party in this election. Nevertheless, we have hopes of the triumph of the Democratic State ticket. To Congress, the Democrats will doubtless elect Messrs. Florence, Owen Jones, J. Glancey Jones, McReynolds (vice Leidy,) Allison White and Dimmick ; with a fair prospect of the elec- tion of Burke in the Pittsburg district, Per- shing (in Eddie’s present district,) Dewartand Landy. Mr. Phillips, we fear, will be defeated, Owing to the fact that the opposition majority is overwhelming there. He was elected to tho present Congress only through a fierce contest in the bosom of the opposition. That breach is now for the most part healed. Montgomery stands a fair chance of being defeated, though after being nominated by the Democrats he pledged himself to the Republi- cans. That act sodisgusted faithful men there: as that though the district contains a Demo- cratic majority of 1,500, the Republicans will probably beat him. If so, no sound Democrat should ery; for such politicians as Mr. Mont- gomery deserve such rewards for their treach- ery. The regretable point in connection with this Pennsylvania election, is the fact that local questions and divisions prevent it from being a contest over the policy of Mr. Buchanan’s ad- ministration. Could that have been the issue, the State would have been triumphantly swept by the Democracy. JouRNEYING ACROSS THe PRainizs—Borra- Lo Huntinc—Inp1ans Anounp—Tueg WoLves or THE PRrainig—TuE ANTELOPE AND Prainig Dos—Santa Fa, &c., &c., &c.—To-day, we publish the balance of the interesting letter from the Far West, commenced in Saturday’s Star: Ex Paso, (Texas,) Sept. 3, 1953. of the Washington Star: are now fairly on the good, and is much traveled we meet a train or two, sometimes consisting of one bun- dred wagons; the supplies of goods are going to Santa Fe and the Government transportation is very considerable. To every wagon there is a team and relay of mules; and when oxen are used there is a large surplus to replace any that may give out. These caravans are sometimes stretched along the roads, and at night the wagons are corralled; that is, drawn up and arranged so as to form an enclosure into which the animals are | Siposone This enclosure serves as a fortification n case of an Indian attack, and the mules cannot be stampeded. There are numerous hordes of wild Indians always roaming over the lains, awaiting opportunities to steal mules. T ey eat them and sell them, and think they have a natu- tal right to steal them wherever found. We some localities where there hax been some hard fighting, and other places of melancholy interest. Chavis's creek, socalled from bis being murdered by some Missouri filibusters, two of whom got tueir necks stretched for it at St. Louis. But we are pow in the buifalo range, and are on the look- out for the huge animals. Still, I never omit to lobo a sa/utation when in sight. Oneeve- near niybt, the cry of buffalo was raised, 1 our guns underwent an immediate inspec: ‘apt. Walker and De. Beck got a shot or two, but yotno meat. The buifalo marched off in a straight line to our right, the column appa- rently one mile in lengjgh. A thunderstorm was coming up, and we had to protect ourselves os well ax we could; and meeting with water, we struck camp for the night. Next m orning we started early, and svon came in sight of more buf- falo. All hands were now eager for the sport. Capt. Walker fired a shot or two, without etfect; but one or two buffaloes coming within the range of Smith’s rifle, he let drive, and broke the fore leg of one of them. 1 was about three hundied yards off, and tired my Starpe’s rife, hitting him on the rump, and, advancing and loading, when about two bundred and fifty yards off [ gave him another shot. in the region of the heart, which in one minute’s time, or fess, brought bim to the ground, and he was dead before we reached him Our men took what meat they desired, neglecting the tongue; and { weat after a lovo, but he kept way of the exterminator; for so my led” Under way again, we made about two miles,when we again came upon the buffalo; the plain was literally covered by them, as far as the eve could reach. Capt. Walker was deter- mined to have some of them, and we Lad to sto) the stage to let a portion of them cross the rocd. He dropped tw. Lefore we took the stage again. We then went on to where the road touches the Arkannas, and took breakfast, quite elated that we had some fresh meat. We then went to Wal- nut creek, where a man by the name of Allison has a rancbe—a perfect fortification; and, str: as you may think, here, without a single hi in one hundred and fifty miles in one and . hundred in the other direction, he bad a store and grocery, with very good strychnine in it. Himself and three or four laboers were all the population of the place; and he was getting ready to step 400 miles over to Missouri, to yet his mowing machine mended ! When we stopped at noon | went out bunting, but as we are now in the heart of the Indian country, and two tribes at war, I did not venture outofsightofcamp. I saw fresh Indian signs. Dr. Beck found a Buffalo crossing the Arkansas river, and killed him shortly after he reached the bank. I bursted two caps at one at a short distance, and am now right well pleased that my gun did not go off, for we have destroyed to day, jour of these noble creautares, and have left them on the plains to feed woives. I should have said that antelopes are abundant, but they are very sby—we can scarcely get within a quarter of a mile of them; a distance here on the plains— with not even a tree, or bush, or evenbigh weeds to obstruct the view, and the clear, dry atmos- here—which ap; but as an bundred yards ptical ilimsions ase frequent; it often seems that we are approaching a clear, smooth lake, of wide extent, but as we advance the illusion dis- appears, and we are again on the iutermioable Prairie, with its short grass or burnt-up herbage. instead of siaking one’s thirst with tne waters froma mee lake, we have to thank God that a mud-puddle lies in our way, or that we can greta warm draft from a sand-hole. 1 have said noth- ing of the prairie dogs; we have been among their towns since we crossed the Little Arkan- sas, and they seem to increase as we advance westward. Some imaginative veing bas said that the rattle-snake, burrowing-owl and Prairie- dog all live together in perfect harmony. Such is not the case. ‘The owl js often found the ten- ant of the abandoned dog-hole, and sometimes is seen emerging from one which the dog oceu- pies. Both are entirely harmless, and they live ether without any apparent annoyance to each other; but if the rattle-snake ever enters the abode of soa nnd dog, it is to carry out some scheme of filibustering. He Preys upon the young of the dog or the owl. I never saw a rat- tle-snake in the towns, and only one was killed by any of our party. The prairie dog is about the size of a common fox-squirrel, and ts gener- ally seen skippi bout in the towns or sitting at the mouth of b vets gar? contemplating things around.

To Washingtonians away out here, it is a perfect godsend. eee Tue Cass-Irisanrt Treaty.—The New York 7'ribune is urging the acceptance by this Government of the modifications of the Cass- Irisarri treaty which Martinez took the liberty of suggesting or making after the Congress of Nicaragua had ratified it as originally agreed on in Washington. The Tribune is evidently throwing away its labors in that direction. The modifications proposed by Martines were designed to defeat the main objects of the trea- ty, though worded with such adroitness as that ordinary observers may not be able to see through that intent. The consummation of the treaty as originally agreed on being a matter of really paramount interest to the future of the connection of the two great divisions—~Atlantig and Pacific—of the United States, as well as of vital importance to the future security of Cen- tral America from the raids of American fili- busters, the Trijune may rest assured that the Government of the United States will in- sist on its return, ratified without mutilation in any way. Jeresx’s instructions, doubtless, require him to induce this Government, if pos- sible, to abandon the points for which it oon- tends. But they also authorize him to return the ratified original treaty to this Government whenever satisfied that it will be content to receive back nothing short of that. He who fancies that he will not be required to return that, has read the late powerful despatch from Secretary Cass to Minister Lamar to little pur- pose . Stream Coxpensers.—Under this heading we noticed, yesterday, that Secretary Toucey had appointed a board of Naval Engineers for the purpose of examining a patent steam con- denser, with a view to its introduction in the but we inadvertently fell into an error in giving the names of the appointees. The board is composed of Engineer-in-Chief Sam’! Archibald, and Chief Engineers Henry Hunt, John P. Whipple,and Wm. E. Everett. They are to meet in this city at anearly day. The steam condenser to be examined is that in- vented by James M. Miller, Ksq., and it is the same now used at the Navy Yard in this city, where it has been for some two months. In this period opportunity has been had for prac- tically testing its merits, and we are told that @ great saving of fuel is accomplished, and that the boilers have been used for eight days without being replenished with water. The water is returned to the boilers by this con- denser at 175 degrees Fabrenhelt, and at sea it prevents the incrustation of salt io the boilers, as the water is supplied to them, through its agency, in a pure state. Capt. Pope’s Expgrpition-——We see it re- Ported, on the authority of what purports to be a letter from Capt. Pope’s camp, on the Pecos, dated Aug. 21, that the attempt to sink an Ar- tesian well in that plain has proven a failure, The bore was made to the depth of 1,050 feet, and the formation at that depth is said to be just as soft and rotten as at the surface. Tubing was found to be indispensable, to pre- vent the soft earth from falling in, and the de- scription of tubing the company had with them was not proper for that work. In consideration of these difficulties the work was abandoned: for the present, and an order to “pack up” had been issued. Gallisteo was selected for the next encampment, and the writer of the letter allu- ded to says: “Oar Lex cepa physical and mechanical, will be mith less on the Rio Grande than here ; for, besides the ditferent geological structure to be penetrated, our tron and machinery will be no longer devoured by the corrosive acids of the Pecos waters.’ Miuitary.—A military post, named Fort Quitman, in honor of the late General Quit- man, has been located on the San Diego mail route, sixty miles beyond Fort Davis, and at the point where the road first touches the Rio Grande. The posts on this route between San Antonio and El Paso are Fort Inge, Fort Hud- son, Fort Lancaster, Fort Davis, Fort Quitman and Fort Bliss. Szcretary Cass, who was attacked with a severe indisposition a day or two since, is im- proving slowly, but is still too unwell to be at the Department.
