WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. Tae Evections.—Our Phunkey exchanges already come laden with glorification over the wholesome reverses sustained by the Demo cracy in the recent elections: Forney's Press and its two or three echoes within striking dis- tance are even so soon bursting off their breeches buttons in Procle.iming the might of Phunkeyism, with bellowing lungs. Well— their hallelujahs of self gratulation are no new sounds. When personal disappointment about ofice among small beer politicians, and a spirit of revenge end undue ambition on the part of plunder-mongers and pseudo leaders generated the Hugh-White split, such journals cheating themselves because the treachery of the times deprived old Jackson of every mem- ber of Congress from Tennessee, bellowed as loudly as their imitators of the day over the amount of temporary mischief they, too, had accomplished. Nevertheless, in due time Ten- nessee came right side up. So, too, in the case of the temporary success of the Wm. C. Rives conspiracy against the Democracy, Phunkey journalism went well nigh into “‘fits’’ in its ecstasy. Again, in 1854, when the temporary reverses of the Democracy in the North were twice as great as in the recent elections, all the unprincipled who failed to get office from the Pierce administration, or to be permitted to plunder the treasury at will, blated through their newspapers intense rejoicings over the apparent prostration of The Party of Principle. How far their calculations were realized in after results, the Sar’s ‘roaders will remem- ber. So, they will all comprehend that the up- shot of the reverses of the hour is to be pre- cisely what the upshot of those reverses was. That is; that the combination fo pros‘rate the Democracy being united upon nothing but that desire, will soon quarrel among themselves; and the Democracy will also be entirely rid of the embarrassing effects of the pretence of Phunkeyism of quasi identification with them. The Phunkeys claiming to have brought about the defeat of the Democracy, will as usual claim all the fancied proceeds of the victory; and where not throwing aside all pretence of such identification, will be unceremoniously whistled inte political oblivion by The Opposition. From Jefferson's day to this, the elections to every second Congress of a Democratic admin- istration have resulted as on this occasion. Nevertheless, the Democratic party has con. tinued alive, and in power; and Phunkeyism has continued to stink louder and louder in the nostrils of all of both parties who labor for honest ends in politics. It enjoys no more of public confidence to-day, than twenty-five years ago. In this case, the misfortune is, that the victory is not as complete for the time being, as here- tofore. The permanency of the ascendency of the Democratic party has always depended, in @ great measure, on its getting rid of the Phun- key incubus once in every four years, after the same fashion. The moral of these elections—which proclaim that Douglasism in Iowa, Ohio, Indiana, and Pennsy!vania, is but part and parcel of Re- publicanism wherein that seeks to punish the National Administration and the Democracy of Congress for their unselfish and patriotic pro- tection of the constitutional guarantees of Southern equality of rights under this Gov- ernment—is the fact that they are “hand-wri- ing on the ** proclaiming the folly of the honest politicians of the South who would lon- ger countenance the anti-Southern machina- tions of Douglas, Forney, Haskin, Broderick, & Co., because, forsooth, Douglas has long been, personally, a “devilish clever fellow.”’ Those of the South who longer stand up for Douglas may content themselves soon to be re- garded at home as being practically co-workers with him, in polities. WASHINGTON OLTY: THURSDAY : 1858. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Union, commenting upon the recent re- verses of the Democracy of the North, says: ; =o M1 other political organizations in this po moege pro Blaw sis party survive disas- ters and gather new power and strength from each recurrenceof them. Our principles have an abiding place in the hearts and affections of the American le, and we cling to them with a deeper feeling and a stronger faith in the hour of danger and disaster than in the day of Fictory. ‘The triumpbant Republican—the exultant Know Nothing—the traitorous Democrat—none of them, nor all of them combined, feel half so proud an defiant in their victory as the true and noble Democrat who retires from the lost battle with a consciousness of the honesty of bis motives, the purity of bis principles, and the ultimate invin- cibility of his party.” The Union, further, replies to the New York Express upon the subject of the “ Mexican dif- ficulties.”’ The Intelligencer comments upon the “Elec- tion Returns.” ————_-2+e- Sate —The furniture of the New York City Hall was soid at auction, yesterday, and bid in by the city clerk at $50,000. The sale was under an execution in the Lowber cage- U> The * Courrier da Havre’ asserts, on the statements of officers of the Navy and of mer- chant vessels, that not one of the negroes taken by English men-of-war from slavers has ever been returned to the coast of Africa and there set free. All of them, without exception, are car- ried to the English colonies in America, and there, without the least guaranty for their return to their native home, left with the colonists to work on their plantations Tae Victarranca Arratr —The Courrier du Dimancha publishes what it states to be the sub- stance of a circular addressed by Count Cavour to the different diplomatic agents of Sardinia, on the subject of the Villafranca sffsir. M.de Cavour states that the cession made to Russia is gratuitous, and revocable at will. It comprises anold prison, and nothing more, which is to be devoted to the purpose of storing coals and pro- visions. He complains of the unfriendly remarks whieh have emanated from the Eaglish press on the subject. EmIcRaTIon.—During the month of September forty-five sailing vessels and eight steamers have arrived at New York, bringing passengers from foreign po The whole number of passengers 35; citizens, 675. In September, the arrivals were—aliens, 19,396; citizens, S61. During the present month, to the 12th in- elusive. eleven vessels have arrived, bringing 133 cabin, and 2,622 steerage passengers. The total number of arrivals, thus far, this year, is less than half the number during the corresponding period of 1557. Tas Scovares at New Ortrans—The Lou- isiana Courier contains a comparative statement of the daily number of deaths by yellow fever during the present epidemic term and that of 1553. The whole number of deaths in 1553 up to the Ist of October, was 7.596, and during the present term up tothe same period, they have numbered only 3,164, showing the present to be Jess than one-half as fatal as the previous visit of the epidemic. The figures for this year, however, fall short several hund-ed from the true mortality, on account of the neglect to furnish the inter- ments in the two Hebrew cemeteries. The Courier says that the continued prevalence of the yellow fever is mainly attributable tothe constant influx of strangers and the unacclimated, and ‘warns all who are absent from the city to stay away until the epidemic has left. Overtaxn Natt to tum Paciric_—We have announced the arrival at St. Louis, on Saturday night, of an overland California mii, in twenty- three days and four hours. Tne prozress of the mail from St. Louis to San Francisco is said to have been equally successful. The following table shows the distances from point to point on the line, according to measurements made by the exploring party sent out by the Overland Mail Company : From St. Louis to Syracuse, Mo.

Its author, as all here know who are familiar with the step by step development of the resources of the Pacific slope of the United States, was not only the originator of the enter- prise, but from its inception to this time has been the director of everything done by Con- gress for its benefit, and the counsellor of the Executive branch of the Goverment in all that it has done to the same end. He is, therefore, thoroughly informed with reference to its fu- ture necessities, as well as to its probable results upon the future of the Pacific side in- terests, and on the peace and security of the wilderness laying between the American hives of the eastern and western slopes. No one can read his interesting letter without compre- hending of what vast importance in a national point of view the success of this enterprise of bis own energy and sagacity has been to the whole people of the United States, though from beginning to end he refrains from claiming any credit, personally, in connection with it—his object being to secure for it every possible pro- tection that the Government of the United States can accord to it 64235 SSS AES SEARED Tae Bactimore Evection.—Tie election in Baltimore yesterday passed off with the usual amount of rioting. At noon, Col. A. P. Sbutt, the independent candidate issued a card with- drawing from the contest; and Mayor Swann, the American candidate, had then no opposition ‘There was quite a heavy rain during the morn- ing, but large crowds gathered about the places for aolding the polis. Several persons were shot, and a number severely beat, the opposition vote being almost entirely withdrawn. At the close of the polis, Swann’s majorities summed up as follows: First Ward, S02; Second, 1,352; Third, 1,315; Fourth, 2,507; Fifth, ©76; Sixth, 1.539; Seventh, 1,019; Eighth (majority for Shutt,) 3,307; Ninth, 619; Tenth, 705; Eleventh, 601; Twelfth, 596; Thirteenth, 591; Fourteenth, 1.012; Fifteentl» Ws, Sixteenth 731; Seventeenth,1,147; ghteentb, Nineteenth, 931; Twentieth, 1,151. The tota! vote cast for Swann, 24,005; for Shutt, 4,-55; Swann’s majority, 19,149 In the first banc of the City Council, the Americans elect 19, the Independents 1. In the second branch—Americans 9, Independents L. Tne Key to It.—A friend asks us to account for the result of the election of yesterday in Baltimore. In anzwer, we have to say that it was no election. The Plug Uglies, Blood Tubs and Police frightened from the polls the timid among the opponents of their side, whose can- didate withdrew from the contest early in the day—seattering broadcast the following card : Fellow-citizens—It being now clearly sani- fest that » deliberate purpose actuates the Mayor of this city to countenance the general combina- tion which now prevails between his police and the armed bands of lawless men who have since the opening of the ballot boxes held possession of the polls to the exclusion of all voters opposed to Mayor Swann, and it being urged upon me by many of our best citizens that any persistent at- tempts to vote upon the part of my friends can only be attended with loss of life and the general di~order of the city, I feel it my duty to yield to their judgments and withdraw my name as a candidate for Mayor. A. P. Suvrr. Wednesday, Oct. 13, 12 o’clock m. The Sux of this morning explains its effect, as follows : «Phe publication having been eneraily dis- tributed about the several polis, tal posted in va- rious parts of the city, had the effect to retire what few of Mr. Sbutt’s friends were endeavor- ing to maintain their ground. and to leave the af- fair of the day uncontested to the close.” The Washington reader who desires to com- prehend precisely how the thing was done, has but to recal to mind the reign of terrorism cre- ated by the “ Rams,’’ “States Hose,” et. a/. here, previous to the late Washington munici- pal election; the importation of co-workers with them from Baltimore, who were paid their ex- penses and so much per head by well known persons claiming respectable positions in so- ciety; the manner in which they attacked the polls at the upper precinct ofour Fourth Ward, and paraded from one to another voting place, discharging fire arms, &c.; the evident counten- tenance the Washington police gave them until the firmness of our criminal court and Juries, grand and petit, caused them to comprehend that to continue their operations in our midst, would, sooner or later, consign them to the Jail, the penitentiary, or the gallows. We long since ceased to have faith in the party politics of any American ci*~ we eare not which party Tuk ATLANTicCa — Letters from Valentia report that no improvement bad taken placc in the electrical cundition of the Atlantic cable. ‘The fault, however, did not get worse, for occa- sionally considerable and distinct ‘ reversals”? from Newfoundland were discernable. The opinion that the principal fauit in the cable is mear the shore daily gained ground, although Professor Thompson's opinion was directly op- posed to such @ supposition. It was supposed that something would be done towards under- running and repairing the cable during October, which is generally a fine month on the Irish coast. Mr. Henley’s gigantic magneto-electric marci ine had arrived at Valentia and been put in operation, and, with the aid of this instrument Mr. Henley hoped to be able to work through the cable during some part of each day, even if the fault should prove irreparable It was the unanimous opinion of nearly all at Valentia that the laying of ten or twelve miles of the thick shore end of the cable would tend per- manently to obviate a great many of the difticul- ties with which the electrical department of the undertaking bas Leen interrupted. Beyond the continuance of experiments no- thing was tobe done with the cable until the preconcerted experiments at both termini of the ine bad been made. They bad been fixed to take place early in October, and would, it was expected demonstrate the possibility or impossi- bility of working the line ia Its present defective condition PERSONAL. ---.

Tue Cass-Inisanzi Treaty.—According to what seems to be understood around us, Dr. Jerez was sufficiently recovered from his la meness to meet the Secretary of State yester- day, at the State Department. From the leaky vessels surrounding the Doctor, it has leaked ouf that he informed that functionary that his powers precluded him from accepting aught but immaterial amendments to Martinez’ proposi- tions for changing the Cass-Irisarri treaty; and thitt he was informed that as this Govern- ment would listen to no proposition whatever that involved a change of the clause of the original treaty covenanting that the United States may’, of their own motion, actord neces- sary protection to the travel over the Nicara- guan isthmws, his mission was virtually at an end; to inwiat upon the retention of that fea- ture of the original treaty, being a very mate- rial change from the modification proposed by Martinez; and, further, that on leaving, Dr. Jerez left 1tis instructions at the Department for translation, and intimated that on return- ing to-day he: mrghz be able to bring along ad- ditional instr uctions! The English of all this— if it be true, and we see no reason to doubt its truth—is that he has full power to return the original treat.y unmutilated, as the Scar stated a day or two a go, and has, up to this time, en- tertained hope of being able to bamboozle the Government of the United States into accept ing its shadow o nly, in lieu of it. Our impres- sion is that yest trday his eyes were opened to the fact that the United States, wearied with the flagrant game: he and his Government have been playing, are determined to carry out al) the stipulations of the Cass-Irisarri treaty ne- cessary to the pro tection of our national inter- ests on the Nicar aguan isthmus; which is, in reality, the only policy on its part that will guarantee Nicara gua against future trouble from American fili‘busters, which the insane conduct of its unciy‘ilized Government so perti- naciously invites. Tax Capture o¥ OsceoLa.—See the first page of to-day’s St.z7 for achapter upon this subject from the pen of the captor, Major Gen- eral Jesup, than whom there remains living at this time no other military officer, save Gen. Scott, whose individual fame is so entirely part and parcel of b:is country’s most enviable military history. No w that Jackson and Brown are no more, Scott arid Jesup are alone left to their country of the shining heroes of the last war with Britain, in which their public ser- vices were not more .eminent than in our each succeeding national vontest; the services ren- dered by Jesup at the head of the Quarter- master’s Department throughout the Mexi- can war, having been as important to the success of our arms, whenever successful, as the valor of the gallant troops then and there engaged. But we digress. Read General Jesup upon the capture of Osceela, you who would be well informed upon the public history of the land.
