The opinion there, as wellas bere, seems to be that the fuysy little Frenchman is pretty much of a humbug. AnotHER Exprottion.—The filibuster Walk- ef writes to Col. Doubleday, at Cleveland, that on the 16th of November a vessel, with freight and passengers, will leave Mobile for San Juan del Nerte, and that any one desirous of emigra- ting to Nicaragua will be taken out. Kansas.—The St. Louis papers contain a fare- well address of Gov. Denver, tothe people of Kansas, on retiring from office. He says thay henceforth the continuance of peace in that Ter- ritory depends more on the people themselves than on the Governor; that they have an abun- dence of local civil officers elected by themselves without disturbance or interference; that they have jast accomplished the peaceable election of a Legislature, and it makes no material difference who may be Governor. He does not think the ‘Territory yet prepared for a State organization.

Sixty trafiix had passed Fort Bridg- erup to the 22d ult , twenty were on the Sweet- water, and eight more north of the crossing of the Platte. Snow was encountered east of Fort Laramie. Two companies of cavairy returning via Pike’s Peak, were passed on the Big Blae. Judge Eckel was meton the Big Sandy. Col. Wilson was at O’ Failon’s biuff, progressing fine- ly. The Indians were numerous but peaceable. It was feared several trains would be overtake? by snow in the mountains. Business was very brisk at Sait Lake. Trains ‘were constantly arriving from California with goods and provisions. There was good feeling between the Mormons and Gentiles. Genezal Jobnston’s command consists of 7,000 to $,060 mea, including troops and employees, ali of whom were consolidated in one grand encamp- ment, and would semain together during the winter. There was aiso about 4.000 at Fort Brid- ger, under Col. Cambrey. Col. Morrison, of the Seventh infantry, had arrived at Camp Floyd From Mextco.—New Orleans papers contain the particulars of the defeat of Viduarri by Mira- ison. The former war not on the field when the engagement commenced, and bis army appears to bave been attacked when least apprehensive and prepared for it. ‘The sumors at Brownsville were that the de- feated army lost five hundred men killed, and that two thousand of them were taken prisoners, with theirartiliery aud provisions. An express from Monterey to Matamoras, however, «ays their loss Was not so great, and that only a Portion of the artillery and munitions were captured by Miramon’s forces, and that the liberal party made their retreat from the field ingood order. An official paper received at Monterey, says that Vidaurri bas already sent orders to the com- mander of Tampico for another park of artillery (where there is plenty to be had,) which will sooa be in the field, together with the many forces concentrating about Viduarri, to renew the attack. Colonel Guadalape Garcia was to leave ‘Tampico on the 2d instant for the interior, with three hundred infantry and three pieces of artil- jery TeLxetarwic—an organization of all the tel- egrapbic lines in the United States, (expect the seaboard line from Boston to New Oceans, which points are also connected by wires through the interior,) is just being perfected, under the title of the North American Telegraphic Association, having for its object the union, extension and improvement of telegraphic facilities through- out tbe country. The first meeting was heid on ‘Thursday, and embraced seven telegraphic ¢ sr- Porations, including one In Canada. A primary object, we understand, is to effect a united com- Preheasive and economical work! f the whole telegraphic system, under which tolls may be reduced tothe lowest remunerative rates. We learn thatthe North 4merican Telegraphie Association bas already taken action with a view to the early completion of a direct telegraphic connection of the Mississippi river with Califor- nia, under the grant of the late Congress, of a strip of land two hundred feet in width through the public domain, between those points. Thus we see the way opening with rapid strides for the final union of America with Asia and Eu. rope, by way of Bebring’s Straits, or the Aleutian Istands. The Convention of Telegrapbers referred to above, is the most numerously attended of auy of ite kind ever held tn the United States Its ses- pions are private WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. "Tue NicaRaGuaw Tstaxvs:—A or tt since, in referring to the failure of the late ne- gotiations between the owners of the Atlantic, Pacific and European Steamship Company, for purchase of the steamships Washington, York and San Francisco, incidentally remarked that they would obtain other shi; | rs we received a circular . elverton, Esq., the agent of the Company ‘jowning the Isthmus transit route, announcing that they had concluded arrangements to place the steamship Washington on the route, on this side, to rum in connection = meee, mann.on the other side. Thus, the Was! will leave New York (as per an advertisement that will be found elsewhere in the Scar) on the 6th of November, proximo, and her passen- gers will duly embark, at San Juan del Sar, on. board the Hermann, for San Francisco direct, without stopping at Acapulco. The route is seven hundred miles, and at least three days’ sailing, shorter than ‘ab Panama route. The company, of which Mr. Yelverton is the agent, not long since despatched the Cass- Trisarri, a fine and. well found boat, to ply on the Iske portion cf the route, and, we believe, two exeellent river boats to ply on the San Juan river. So they will be entirely beyond dependence on the old boats in Nicaragua, which, in tae Walker war, after being seized by the filiSusters, wero first in the hands of one of the contending parties and then in those of another of them, and being thus knocked abov.t have been rendered unfit to be trusted in such service. The company have also caused the twelve miles of macadamised road, the only land carriage of the route, to be put in complete order and have thoroughly stocked it. Thus they will inaugurate, next month, the opening of this line of travel of so great import- ance to cur.country at large with better means of transporting the rush of travel that will at Once avail itself of the much greater facilities which the Nicaragua route offers. Ere broken up by the filibusters it had become, by long odds, the favorite route to and from Culifornia, as scarcely a single traveller had dicd on its isthmus, and it was traveled (from New York to San Francisco) in three days’ less time than by way of Panama. Besides the line to be run asexplsined above by the company owning the route, other stoam- ship owners will doubtless shortly avail them- selves of that company’s proffer to transport across their Isthmus route passengers brought there by any and all, just as the Panama Rail- road Company transports passengers brought to either terminus of their work by any means of conveyance whatever. The country is to be congratulated upon the Consnmmation of the arrangements for thus throwing the Nicaraguan route open to the travel of the world, on equal terms to all of all nations who desire to avail themselves of it, it matters not by whom landed at either Nica- Taguan ocean port. Ca.irornia Survers.—The General Land Office is in receipt of the following approved surveys from the Surveyor General of Cali- fornia, vis: Plat ot the Ranche ‘‘Malacomes”’ or “‘Mioustal,’’ finally confirmed to Martin E. Cook and Rufus Ingalls, situated in townships 9 and 10, north of range 8, west of Mt.

Also, the follow- ing approved townships of public lands, to wit: Plat of townsbip 4, north of range 2 east; and plat of township 2, north of ranges 2 und 3, west of the Humboldt meridian, containing upwards of 49,000 acres. Tue Iravtan Orena.—We have not yet learned with which opera the very full and brilliant company of Strakosch will commence their engagement on Thursday next. We pre- sume, though, it will be Ii Trovatore, with La Traviata and Li Puritani on the succeeding nights. The company is by far the best organ- ized ever had in this section of the world, and seldom even in Europe ia there to be mot with a combination of such eminent artistes as Mad- ame Colson, M’lle Parodi, Madame De Wilhorst, and Signors Brignoli, Labocetta, Amodiv, Ba- rilla, and Junca—the last mentioned one of the best bassoes of the day. The sale of seats to those wishing to subscribe, at a reduced rate, for the three operas, commenced this morning, at Motzerott’s, and many were dis- posed of to eager purchasers. The general sale of reserved seats will commence to-morrow. The company sang at Holliday Street Theatre on Saturday night, to a packed audience. Macs ror Gerwany.—We learn at the Post Office Hepartment that the mails for Ger- many will be regularly made up and despatched from New York by the several lines of United States, Bremen and Hamburg mail steamers, as follows: By the United States mail steamer to Bremen on the 30th October, 27th November and 25th December, 1858; by the Hamburg steamer to Hamburg on the Ist November, 15th November, Ist December and 15th December, 1858; by the Bremen steamer on the 6th No- vember, 20th Nevember, 4th December and 18th December. The rates of postage to Ger- many upon letters transmitted by either of the above lines of mail steamers are precisely the same, being the regular established rates “ by Bremen or Hamburg mail,” as published in the table of postages to foreign countries. Postmasters in the interior should forward at once to New York all letters, &c., for Ger- many mailed to go by either of said lines. Tuz Frorwa War.—It is stated that nearly & million of dollars will be required to pay the volunteers alone in service against the Florida Indians daring the late troubles pre- vious to their removal, and for losses by dep- redations. Each Indian will have subjected the Government to « cost something near one handred thousand dollars. Of the above sum about $500,000 will be required to pay the vol- unteers called into the service by the General Government ; and, say, $400,000 for those called out by the State, under her militia laws, whose payment the General Government assumed. The remainder will be consumed in indewnif- gations fur losses by depredations. NicaRagua.—It is stated that no correspond: Gen. Wm. Walker and his adherents, towards ‘ing another descent on Nicaragua. The igstructi issued respecting filibur- ex abogt to leave this country, most likel, il hold good against his pan ort any other citizens of the Bt s, ins they make themselves sble Sailaerby carrying with them imple- iepnts'cfwar, 4c. ; and it is probable that the} 4 D tions to custom-hou: officers in sections of the country ir, therefore, considered. Navat.—Private letters received from the United States ship-of-war Dale, dated August tb, state, that she] Dale jwoulfisail for the Bight of Benin on the 30th, and return to Porto ya the last Of December: The Vinsener atrived from Madeira on the. 29th, having stopped at Porto Grande, and brought-the mails. She will leave immediatély for Sr. Paul de Loando, and join the Cumberland, flag ship. All were well. Deatn or AN Anvy OFriceR.—The War Department this morning received official in- telligence of the death of Brevet Lieut. Col. Frank Taylor, of the Army, which occurred at’ Brownsville, Texas,-on the 11th instant, ot yellow fever. Col. Taylor wasa native of Ma- ryland, we believe, and acquired an enviable distinetion by his bravery during the Mexican war. Tae Mivister to Avustria.—it is stated that the Hon. J: Gliticy Jones will leave this country jn about s month, to assume the du- ties of his new position as Minister to Austria. Consequently, he will not retain his seat in the approaching session of Congress. Custom Hovse Arrains.—Collector Schell, of New York, recently seized a large lot of French China, in consequence of its including a number of little China images pronounced indecent. An appeal was taken, and Secretary Cobb sustains the decision of Mr. Schell.

M’lle Piccolimini mede her first appear- anee before an American audience at the Acade- my of Music, New York, on Wednesday night ‘The papers bigbly praise her. The Tribune Says: "In person she js rather under the middle height. In carriage she is graceful and bigh bre Her face boasts a pair of dark eyes of ex- ceeding vitality and expression, well turned fea- tures, and remarkable powers of mobility. Her nature evidently is quick, ardent and enthusias- tic. Her voice is warmly toned, and in the a portions of the opera, which abound, is full of the loveliness of travic sorrow. In qual- ity it Is not of the highest rank, bat the electricity of the artist lends {t at the climax of Intensity an expression which is apart and truly admirable. In the three acts which we heard there is no fibrid music, 30 we cannot judge of he ability to exe- cute it. In declamatory and sustained singing passages she is excellent. Her pbraxing leaves nothing to be desired. Her enunciation is per- fect. With a true air of bigh Italian nature, sbe is prodigal of facial expression, answering to the sentiment of the moment. As an actress, she is channing. Her play of the arms is particular! good. The lust scene of the broken-hearted, dying consumptive was best at the close. The tremulous agony of joy at meeting her lover was exquisitely faithful to nature, The impression lett on us was not that of a grand, but a beautiful artist—finished and fescinating. The applause of the audience was heartiest at the en , when M’lle Piceolimini received the honor of a triple call before the curtain.”? The Executiou of Ira Stout. ira Stout, convicted of the murder of his broth- er-in law, suffered the extreme penalty of the law at Rochester, N. Y_., on Friday last. At fifteen minutes past two o’clock the proces- sion, heads d by Deputy Sherift Warner, reached the jail. The military were drawn up in lines, so as to open a passage to the jail. 8 800n as they had arrived and taken the places assigned them by the oiticers, the prisoner, Ira Stout, was brought down from bis room to the galiows. He was supported by Deputy Sheriffs fond and Mor- rill, and foliowed by bis spiritual advisers, Revs. Hotchkiss, Cutting, Boardman and others. The prisoner was arrayed ina suit of black and wore ou his head a white cap. His step was tol- erably firm, considering the fact that he had a pell of fainting about noon. On reaching the allows he took a seat, while Deputy Sheriff arner read the death warrant in a distinct and forcible manner. At the conclusion, Mr. War- ner told the prisoner that the time had arrived to put the warrant into execution, and that if he had anything to say be bad now an opportunity. Stout did not rise, but, while seated, in a clear and firm voice, sald: “Gentlemen: I am of the opinion that there has been great vindictiveness in this matter, and where there is vindictiveness it is difticult to speak. I base be oracle, feb contains an expression of my feelings aus a man, and that contains all J have to vay.? 2 : The Rev Mr. Hotchkiss, standing at the pris- oner’s right, then said he would read the whole of the 15th chapter of Ist Corinthians, at the re- quest of the prisoner, and he read it,t! Prisoner, meanwhile, seated, with bis head Supported by bis right hand. At the conclusion of the read- ing of Scriptare, Mr. Hothkiss said he would ad. dress the Throne of Grace, voping that the pris- oner would find strength to follow in a short yer. Rev. Mr. Hotchkiss then made an impressive rayer, and conversed a moment inaudibly with Rroat, and then said that he desired him to say that he did not feel strength to pray, but beartily adopted the wkole prayer he bad just beard. The Deputy She 1ff’s offic:rs and friends then shook bands with the prisoner, and Deputy Sheritt Warner the rope about hix neck, and drew a cap over bis face. While the officers were pin- toning bis arms, Stout stood quite erect, and remained in that attitude till the last. He was quite firm in his demeanor, and gave the same complacent smile to in bidding adieu that be when conversing, since being ready, and the spectators standing 1 ovations slloues at 20 minutes past 3 o'clock, Sheriff Babcock Lege the fatal line, and Ira Stout was suspended three feet from the floor. Not a sound was heard in any direction, save the heavy fall of the weiybt which did fatal work. The death was not so sudden as could be deajsed His struggles for eight or ten minutes were wevere, and caused the spectators to turn away in disgust His neck was probably not dis- located, he died by a slow process strangu- lation.

Some time uring the day be was seen passing through Tennallytown, going in the direction of Rock- ville, since which time nothing bas been beard from either him or the horse and buggy. It is supposed that he has yone either to Baltimore, Fredericktown, or Leesburg. From an adver- tixement in another column, it will be seen that the owners of the horse and bugyy offer a reward of $50 for the return of the Property, and 25 more for the conviction of the thief. The schooner Wave, Captain Sprague, sailed from Philadelphia on the 7th instant, with 125 tons of coal, shipped by Lewis Andenreid & Co ’ to Barron & Son, of our city, since which time nothing has been heard from her. As several vessels have arrived that sailed tive or six days after she did, some fears are beginning to be en- tertained for her safety. 8. ee ALEXANDRIA. ia Correspondence of The Star.

Proxy of the State—Dr. O. R. Funsten, of Clarke; James Parsons, of Hampshire, and Geo. H. Smoot, of Alexandria. The Fair in connection. with the Baptist Church closed on Saturday night. Near the close, a large cake was presented to the wife of the pastor in charge, and received by Rev. Mr. Shute most appropriately. An alarm of fire, proceeding from the burnin; soot in the chimney of the Virginia S-ntinel of fice, called out ovr firemen Saturday evening, but heppily no damage was done. We learn that the Fair recently beld at Sarepta Hall, for the benefit of the M BE. Church South. resulted in considerable addition to the funds of that church, which are to be applied to the iigul- dation of the debts which now encumber it. The Village Fair is continued this week, as ts the Fair at American Hall for the benefit of the {rce-scbool rooms of the Youug Catholics’ Friend Society. This latter Fair, on Saturda night, Was enlivened by the songs of the “Kemble Glee Club,” an assoctation of young vocalists, who sang very sweetly.
