The Unton, remarking upon the Opposition clamor for revision of the tariff, says: We want no judgmenta—: pk Dor digh vy ime aa ake | peril te put the ahip under short sail; but when the gale subsides, a commander will in crowd on the canvas. Vicissitudes in business are very opportune seasons for interested parties to seek special legislation in their own bebalf; but a nation isnot wise that falls into such traps, plausible or pressing may be the rea- sons urged for their enslavement”? The Unton further considers the elections. The Intelligencer treats of a railroad to the Pacific, and in the course of its remarks says: Is perhaps not generally known that, while we have been satisfying ourselves with the as- sured conviction that the territory of the British possessions is too cold and sterile to admit of a work so gigantic, the English have been quietly _. ronte through this very coun- try, and ir isser, who for more than two years has been en; in the survey, does not hesitate to report that the face and configura- tion of British America is ‘eminently adapted for Tailroad purposes.’ *’ 0 We have received accounts of heavy white frosts cecurring in South Carolina and Georgia. Caution to STRANGERS —Absentees having commenced returning to Mobile, the executive committee of the “‘Can’t Get Away Club,’ the Samaritan Society, and the Relief Club of the “Young Men’s Christian Association of Mobile,” upon consideration of the state of the public bealth, concur in recommending to all unaccli- mated persons now absent from the city not to return until after due notice of frost. Sussieene East eT Phra Fio8t wite tae Camancues.—The Utah mail arrived at St. Joseph’son the 9th instant. ‘The troops had nearly completed their huts, and would go into winter quarters on the 15th of Oc- tober. Everything was quiet in the valley. A battle took place Letween a detachment of the 2d cavalry and a band of Camanche Indians near the Witchita village on the Ist of October, in which Lt. Van Camp and four men were killed, and Maj. Van Dorn and ten men wounded. The Camanches had 40 killed. er eeeameeenis i> The New York Commercial understands from good authority that the British Government have completed a contract with the Messrs.

Pannsrivinia.—The result of the election for Members of Congress has been ascertained in all except the Twenty-fourth district. There are still hopes of the election of James L. Gillis. IxDiana.—The returns come in but slowly, and the result on the State ticket is doubtful, A dispatch bas been received in this city from Judge Niblack’s district. announcing his re- election by over one thousand majority. lowa.—Returns, reported and official, from ten counties in the First district show a Repub- Mean gain of 200 from last year. The indica- tions are that Curtis, Republican, is re-elected to Congress by 1,000 majority. Outo.—The official count of the Seventeenth Congressional district gives Theaker, Rep., 105 majority. Sovrm CaRotina —John D Ashmore, Dem has been elected to Congress in Col. Orr's dis- trict. From Mexico.—General Casanova, command- ing the forces at Guadalaxara, nas been defeated in the vicinity of that city by Degollado. Casa- nova lost, out of one thousand mea, eight bua- dred in killed, wounded and disbanded, besides his artillery aud amunition. Blanco and Rocha, Generals uader Deyoiado, bad taken the cities of Leon, Celaya, Salamanca, and some towns near Guanaxuato. Caliacan, the capital of the State of Sinaloa, bad pronounced in favor of the con- stitutionalists, and Coronado, chief of the consti- tutional forces there, was marching on Mazatlin Three companies of Echeagaray’s forces at Jalapa had gone over to to the constitutionalists, who ‘were posted, under Liave, five leagues from that city. Three other companies were to follow this example next day. There isa general movement from the circumference to the centre, tothe City o¢ Mexico and Puebla, on the part of the constitu- tionaltst forces, and it is believed Zuloago’s fall is imminent. Farza’s conduct, in making the forced joan on foreigners, is disapproved of by the liberal lea- ders Cotontal Sae-Derexce.—Sir Ed. Lytton Bulwer, Principal Britisn Secretary of State for the Colonies, bes put forth a document, ia the shape of adispatch to Gov. Hamilton, of the Leeward Islands, which has in view the com- plete self defeace of the whole of the British Col- oules. The drain upon the British army for men. consequent upon its late Eastern Wars, ren- ders it imperative that those dependents of the British Empire, which have been deprived of tue protection of the British soldiery, should maintain small militia armies of their own, both for the purpose of Tesisting foreign invasion and patting down domestic discord. It is in view Of these facts that the Principal Secretary writes Governor Hamilton, to impress upon him the ex- treme importance of raising and maintaining, from local resources, and by local efforts, such a military foree as will by its presence guarantee the safety, dignity and internal Peace of the col- omy which he governs; and he proceeds to say that on reference to the records of past years, he bas observed that, in many of the West India Is- Jands Iccal corps were established, and efficient- ly kept up; and expresses his mortification that these wise precautions have been laid from mo- tives of a false economy. It appears, too, that the question of colonial Tepresentation in the imperial Parliament bas mooted in some of the colonies.

House of | Representatives, @s has invariably been the case in each sesond of a Democratic National A bistra’ singe the invariable fact operates to'insure #iccess to Democratic party in the Presidential elections following, is evident in that latter tact, which is almost as invariable ax the other. We, therefore, by no means regret that responsi- bility for whatever the next House of Repre- sentatives may do will not rest with the Demo- cratic party. We care riot how great its Oppo sition majority may be—the greater the better for the Democratic cause in 1860. However much we may regret on their own personal ac- count the defeat of different personal friends who ran and are yet to run in non-slaveholding States as Democratic candidates for Congress, our main solicitude is for the triumph of the Democracy in 1860—the chances of which will be greatly increased by getting rid of the pre- tended affiliation of the Douglas anti-slavery- ites by the intrigues of the latter in the coun- cils of the Opposition in the next House, and by the impossibility of due accord between the Crittenden or American-party wing of the Con- gressional opposition and its Seward or Repub- lican-party wing. The three divisions of the Opposition agree but in one desire—viz.: in that of wishing the prostration of the Democracy. But each will surely essay to have their cards so cut as to throw the power of the Government (as the re- sult of the election of 1860) into its own hands. Efforts to harmonize their conSicting “claims,” jealousies, &c., will be made—to fail as surely all similar efforts have failed. That is to say : enough will be disappointed with, and irrecon- cilably opposed to, any terms of settlement be- tween them, to insure a repetition of that lack of unity of action on their part that has, up to this time, almost invariably materially assisted the Democracy to acertain triumph. We are writing from the lessons of history; and all who will draw on their memory the political history of the last twenty years, will realize how closely our foreshadowing of what must oceur, tallies with what has occurred. Opposi- tion leaders may do their best to ward off the state of things we thus foreshadow for them— as opposition leaders have invariably done throughout the last quarter of a century. Ex- perience will avail them naught; for such is the destiny of American politics, contrasted in their leading features and general results by the leading characteristics of our voting popu- lation and institutions—elements far more ef- fective than the wishes and any possible com- binations of temporary political leaders. We repeat, however we may regret the de- feat of individual Democratic nominees for Congress, we do rejoice that the next House of Representatives is to be in the hands of the conglomerated opposition. We believe in the soundness of the following pithy advice of the Pennsylvanian. If followed resolutely, the opposition victory in Pennsylvania will be at least as short-lived as when Phunkeyism has before sold us out there, so as that temporary majorities against the Democratic party in the Keystone State, ranging frem 50,000 to 70,000, instead of 6,000, as in this election, disappeared in a single year under the wand of Democratic energy aud principle relieved of the incubus of the pretended affiliation of the Phunkeyism of the times: “« The way to mend the breach Jn the party fs Lactate J apparent. It is to resolutely follow principle as we did fm 1954, and fight it through ou the plain platform of the National Democracy. There 1s something contagious in the example of a band of men organized for the defence of the right, and contending for truth and justice in the face of all opposition. ‘They will nerve the timid, reassure the irresolute, and even bring back those who have strayed from the true political faith from impure and corrupt motives. Such then is the duty of the Democracy of this State at the present time. They owe it to themselves, they owe it to their brethren in other States. [et us have no more dodging the real questionsat issne. If they be wrong, they should te repudiated—if right, supported with the whole force of party discipline and organization. If such a course be adopted, the year 1860 will witness as triumphant & vindication of the present policy of the Demo- cratic party, as did the year 1856 of the wlicy of Franklin Pierce and those who voted oa the These-are lessons from Kansas-Nebraska bill. | at by them rather than seek the past. Let us ai by which to account for the present defeat.** Taz Poixt Asty StatEp.—We have pre- viously taken occasion to mention tho fact that the current Illinois canvass has brought before the public a young man who 60 far proves abler than any other of his age that has yet figured upon the stage of Amorican public affairs; Heury S. Fitch, Esq., of Chicago. His many speeches of the campaign are all of them, as logical efforts and legal arguments, and ora- torical achievements, infinite! ly superior to any- thing spoken by Senator Douglas since leaving his residence here for Illinois. Fortunately, many of them have been preserved by the re- Porters, and will serve to satisfy the good people of Illlnois that if the glory of the “ Little Giant” has departed, they now have a young giant in intellect among them, who bids fair to become in due time a great statesman, rather than a mere successful Popular orator and politician, as Stephen Arnold Douglas has been. In a recent speech he (Mr. Henry 8. Fitch) discussing Dougias’s repadiation of the important point of the Dred Scott decision, thus grinds the “Little Giant” to impalpable powder: “T now come to another important point of va- riance between Mr. Douglas and the Demveracy of the Union. I refer to the Dred Scott decision. An honest, bona fide acquiescence tn which, upoa the part of Democrats, Is necessitated by the car- dinal principle of their creed—obedience to the Constitution. I shall not argue the obligations of the Constitution. Whoever does not feel its force and solemnity,whoever does not bow with cheer- ful alacrity to its mandates, whoever does not eberish it in every line, holding it holy—the grand embodiment of natural truths lifted to the sanction of National law—has not the spirit ofan American, and cannot be a Democrat. There is persuasion in the simple utterance of it to win obedience of an honest heart: a Majesty in its commands to awe the most rebellious spirit; and those who wil! not listen to its injunctions are soon taught to obey its strength. To interpiet this Constitution a tribunal has been establis ed, tr os 4 npricstee ds Leg (osc7 law of manner and splendor - ih Mort ellect, is without a peer in the civ ‘: This tribunal has recently pron ced a vi important judgment upon the relations oftiaver’, which, properly or improperly, has become the subject of political discussion.

An hon-st and trothfnl obedience. directly and indirectly, in this deo!l- sion, is the duty of all good citizens, and the Pleasure of all good Democrats. “Senator Dougias at the 0; ning of this cam- paten masomed the cbamplonehi ee that ects rate endorsed it fully, di it ably, and eouid come mption of politicians ‘who a attenpe jnterpret a municipal ordinance, Tives to the mreay We 4 iv cama, proceed: that Sewer, tinguis!

[t would re- wire a subtler casuist than Mr. las to show that the word does not apply with equal force to his Freeport theory. Dui the excitement in- cident upon the of the Fugitive Slave Law, no man spoke more boldly and eloquently in defence of that act than Mr. Douglas, and he would find it a wholesome task to re-read his own arguments and sarcasms against men who were then pursuing the same course he now ad- vocates. bat a utiful piece of statesman- ship is the Senator’s position upon this point! ‘What was then admittedly wrong in the legisla- tors of a State becomes proper now in the sq ters of a territory. What the independent so reignty of a Commonwealth could not do, i: be an easy task in the popular arerety ofa Province.

Saruine or tum Paracuay Exprpition.— The U. S. frigate Sabine sailed from New York on the expedition to Paraguay on Saturday last. She takes out the Commissioner, Judge Bowlin, and bis suite, and also the naval and military commander of the expedition, Com modore Shubrick, and his fleet officers. Her complement of men, including marines, is about six hundred. We may regard tho sailing of this vessel as the starting of the expedition, for the vessels that are left behind will not long delay their departure, and, as they are steamers, they will probably reach their destination soon after the Sabine, and before any attempt at pacific negotiation with the Paraguayan Government can be consummated by the Commissioner. On the arrival of the Sabine in the La Plata, the Minister and his suite will be transferred to the Fulton, and ascend to Assuncion, the capi- tal of Paraguay, if practicable. If, however, Lopez should forbid the vessel ascending the river, Mr. Bowlin may endeavor to have diplo- matic communication with him from the fortress Trias Boreas, at the mouth of the Paraguay river. It is wrong to suppose that these efforts at a peaceable adjustment will be made while our fleet is in the waters of Paraguay. On the contrary, besides the vessel which conveys the Commissioner to his destination, no war vessel of the United States will be within several hundred miles of the limits of that country’s jurisdiction. In case a resort to force is ne- cessary it is stated that Com. Shubrick will be able to employ as a land force over two thou- sand men; and still have enough force on board to man those vessels of the fleet which are of sufficiently light draft to be employed in effective demonstrations. Post Orricu Derartwent.—The following is a statement of the receipts and expenditures of the Post Office Department for the quarter ending on the 30th of June, 1858, as exhibited by the books of the Auditor of the Treasury for that Department : Receipts Amount of letter postage... e+ $216,298 53 Newspaper and pamphlet do. 140,790 72 Postage for registered letters 6.661 30 Stamps sold. 1,454 096 55 Emotuments. 18,174 93 BO re ctveenavconscieecuass $1,516,022 33 Expenditures.

Toe Navat Rerrema Boarnv.—‘Attorney General Black bas prepared an elaborate opin- fon, in which he announces the entire prooeed- ings of the Naval Retiring Board illegal and void. Under this opinion the President will restore the whole list ef retired and dropped officers. Four of them will be brought before courts-martial to answer charges to be pre- ferred.’ The above ii nnouncerent in a New York paper, aud mtirely wrong. The action of the Naval Retiring Board, in the several individual cases, has been examined by the Attorney General, and as legal adviser of the President, he has given opinions thereup- on, but we are assured that his decisions do not involve any such broad ground as that stated above. Senator Fitco Mattrgarep py Ixpians.— The St. Paul Pioneer and Democrat say ator Fiteh, of Indiana, accompanied by two friends and guides. left this city afew ince, to enjoy a Buffalo huut on the She- yenne river, where buffalo are reported very plenty The Senator and his friends were well provided with animals, provisions, guns and ammunition. It is now reported in this cit: on good legge: Olas the hunting party had been set upon by a band of Yankton Indians, who, to punish them for trespassing upon their lands, took forcible possession of the guns belonging to the bunters, maltreated and mutilated their horses, and cautioned the Senator to cease his slaughter of buffalo and leave the country. Dr. Fitch and bis friends left immediately for Fort Abercrombie. “ Firry-two Taousaxp Doiars !’’—Sena- tor Douglas, in mortgaging his Chicago property to Fernando Wood et a/., recently, at 10 per centum per annum, to raise the wind where- with to be borne aloft, if possible, throughout his current Illinois canvass, is destined not to hear the last on’t, perhaps, until James Watson Webb hears the last of his somewhat similar raising of $52,000 from the Bank of the United States to be invested in a somewhat similar sinking political cause. The New York and INinois papers have been making merry over the “little transaction” ever since it become public. Nicaracua.—We see it stated that Secretary Cass has informed Gen. Jeroz, the Envoy Ex- traordinary from Nicaragua, that, not having power, as it was understood he had, to settle the Nicaragua difficulty by accepting the Cass- Irisarri treaty, it would be useless to hold fur- ther communication with him, and that thi Government, in the meantime, would not wait for any further useless negotiations, which only served to embarrass a plain question, but would pursue the decisive policy already explained to him. Onecon Surveys.—No appropriation was made at the late session of Congress for contin- uing surveys of the public lands in Oregon. The ostimates of the Surveyor General of that Territory called for $44,000 for this purpose Further surveys are said to be necessary west of the Cascades, while the most pressing ne- coasity exists for surveys of the settled and set- tling country east of that mountain range, though there has not yet been a compass in that country. Navar.—It is stated that on Friday last, a collision ocourred near Craney Island, between the United States steamer Arctic, coming from Washington, and the City of Richmond, of the Union Steamship line, which jyst left her wharf, for Philsdelphia, with.» prog maa and a ether slavery may go intoad <A SE SITS CERT STE IN: A TOIT TIS at leg +S i= SRE 2 ee, injured to the amount.of about $3,000.

The square flag at the fore, in all foreign navies, denotes the presence of a Vice Admiral: at the mizzen, a Rear Admiral; and at the main, an Ad- miral. QUARTERMasTER.
