i WASHINGTON OITY: SPIRIT OF THE MORNING rpeas. " The Union declares that im New York the Seane between the Democracy and the Oppesi- tion has been narrowed down to the question of the right of the people of a Tertitory, in defi- wen desision of the Supreme Court of the United States, to abolish slavery. Further, the Union devotes a couple of col- ‘umns to ecclesiastical troubles in England, ‘proceeding from the determination of the Trac- tarians to practice the confession of sins as laid down in the Book of Common Prayer. The Intelligencer draws from positions lately assumed by the Unrow the following general inferences : «It seems that the Democracy ts not the only ** institutioa’’ which proves its normal and health- ful condition by passing periodically through misfortunes of the most humiliating and de- ressing character. As the seca oar of a party a siga of its vigorous health and puissance, so the occasional prostration of trade and commerce -se emae we oo Aco when brought about by pee am ic ng Ww tinker! ith the tariff and the cur- rency,) is only sign of “ the flourishing and en- terprising industry of our countrymen, who, it Is apparent, would be ruined by a stable and unin- terrapted prosperity.

The loss is estimated at forty thousand dollars, on which there is sixteen thousand dollars insurance. > The mayor, municipal officers and mem- bers of the Common Council of New York, were the guests of the Venezuelan Commissioners on Saturday evening in the Metropolitan Hotel, and were entertained ata magnificent banquet. An admirable speech was made by Senor Rojas, who presided, and the proceedings were creditable and complimentary alike to all who bore a share in them. Tae American Cugss Man in Evrore —The Paris correspondent of the Courrier des Etats Unis writes that Mr Morphy bas gaineda signal triumph in theeight games of chess which he played blindfolded against eight adversaries. ‘The sitting commenced on the 2sth ult., at half- Past twelve in the day, at the Cafe de la Regence and continued without interruption until ten o'clock in the evening. Ofthe eight games Mr. Morphy won six, the other two being drawn. This tour de force extorted enthusiastic applause Private Bax Notrs Voip 1x Law —Judge Perkins has decided in the Putnam, Indiana, Circuit Court, determining that the notes issued by private banks or bankers, intended to circulate as money, are void. The Judge, in his opinion, ably reviews the history of banking, and decides that the issue of such notes is not a natural right znd that it isin conflict with both the common aad statute law. This decision is a fatal blowat the whole brood of shinplasters in Indiana. The community should no longer give the worthless trash any countenance.

Hall, of Vt, states the available resources of its treasury to be 390,501, and the indebtedness $143,904 ; but for the expenditure of $61,127 in the construction of the new State House, the sum in the treasury and the assessed taxes would exceed the indebted- ness by about $5,000.

Mr. Christie, the new special minis- ter from England, presented his credentials to President Lopez in a moderate sensible speech, urging bim to a still further extension of the Privileges of river navigation, and a continuance of friendly relations with Brazil and Great Brit- ain. His excellency replied, expressing a desire to perpetuate the good feeling, political and com- Mercial, which existed in the Republic towards England. When Mr. Christie alluded to Brazil, Lopez pointed significantly to a division of in- Santry then under drill near at hand Law ess Procezpixes.—A dispatch from Louisville states that Horace Bell, who released his father and brother from Bradenburg (Ky.) jail last July, who bad been committed on the ebarge of running off negroes, was taken on Sat- urday from the fair grounds at New Albany, In- diana, without a warrant, and brought into the State of Kentucky by certaia Louisville officers. The citizens of New Albany were tremendously excited by the act. The fire bells were rung, and a large mass meeting was held the same evenidg. A hundred of the excited people have chartered a ferry-boat, and intend leaving for Bradenburg with the avowed purpose of rescuing Bell. An express bas been sent from Louisville to Breden- burg to place the citizens of that town on their guard. Gov. Willard has promised a requisition on the Governor of Keutucky for the men who captured Bell. A meeting has been called to de- nounce the proceedings of the officers. po See te Sst POLITICAL.

And, in the next, if they did, they are as far fromcorreetly representing Virginia's sentiment as they are in sustaining Stephen Arnold Douglas, or as they were in their virtual opposition to the Lecompton bill, and, also, to the late re-e!ection of Senator Hunter. ralists. By far the were Baltimoreans, of thought far mote to the occasion, than of its legitimate object. Thus, only during the hours for the exhibition and racing of the horses was the throng great and noisy. The display of improved cattle was very creditable, every variety being shown. That feature satisfied us that Maryland and the adjacent States are rapidly improving their farm stock, of every description, much more rapidly that ever beforé. ‘The portion of the short-horn herd of Clement Hill, Esq., of Prinee George's county, Md., on the ground, were de- cidedly the finest cattle, in all their points, x hibited ; reflecting infinite credit om his enter- prise and skill as a breeder. There were a lot of merino sheep shown, pur- chased recently by S.S. Bradford, Esq.,of Va., in Vermont, to be earried to the Piedmont region of Virginia—300 in all—which attracted much attention from the improved stoek raisers present. Mr. Bradford has, so far, been a very successful wool grower, and in importing to his region of country (so well adapted for profitably raising sheep) this fine lot of stock, he is doing much, indeed, for its substantial improvement. The display of agricultural implements from the establishment of Sinclair & Co., Baltimore, was quite creditable, though the competition in the trade has of late induced manufacturers of such things to sacrifice durability to show, and to a false economy of weight and quality of material. Among their recently designed implements, we saw one for marking (checking) off corn rows—a light two-wheeled cart, to be drawn by one horse, with markers—which, in expediting work, and securing regularity, and therefore economy of land in corn planting, can hardly fail to pay back to the purchaser its cost, over and over again, every season. Another was a clovet-seed gatherer—a bin, with four revolv- ing spiral knives and a comb arrangement for tocatch and hold the plant ina proper posi- tion to be operated on by the knives—which looked to us as though likely to operate well. Nothing is more troublesome and difficult than to secure clover seed without loss and free of “filth”? expeditiously, and we were glad to per- ceive this substantial step in that direction. Also, a harrow and roller combined, which must prove a labor saving machine in reality, as it is a roller so arranged with splitting pro- tuberances of cast iron, as upon not very cloddy and bard land, to enable the farmer to perform the two essential operations to the proper prep- aration of the soil for any crops, at one and the same time. Also, a clod crusher upon an Eng- lish model, which, if sufficiently durable to last 8 considerable time, will be worth much more than double its cost to any farmer breaking up an annual average of 100 acres. This year, (which, however, was an extraordinary one in that way, owing to the remarkable lack of rain experienced there,) the extra cost of “break- ing up” for wheat, with clod hammers, extra harrowings, extra rollings, &c., was at least $1 per acre; for few good farmers there rolled and harrowed there less than three times, and subsequently devoted less than an average of one day’s labor of a stout man in knocking to pieces the elods upon an acre, that had obsti- nately resisted every other application to that end. This particular crusher is composed of narrow, spiral segments or rings of cast irun re- volving on an axle and garnished with protu- berances to penetrate the clods. Its carriage ean be so laden as to make the whole a fair load for three yoke of oxen, though one can manage it unladen. There can be no question of its better adaptability than that of any other machine in use to the same end—the only du- bious point involved in its use being, whether the narrowness and want of weight of fts indi- vidual segments, and the impossibility of fast- ening them together on the inside so as to throw most of the strain on the inside fastening will not render it easily broken to pieces in the hands of any save most careful persons. We also saw the Willoughby patent grain Sewer, without a guanoattachment, which is a new Pennsylvania grain drill, that struck us as embracing substantial improvements over apy other we had previously seen, insomuch as it sows oats equally as well as wheat ; is put in and out of gear with greater facility than any drill now much in use; is more simple and substantial in its construction, though of light- er weight; and has an arrangement of springs to each tube which makes it give or yield to the pressure of aclod root or other obstacle, without in any way jostling the other tubes of the machine, and thus disturbing the regu- larity of its work. The arrangement for reg- ulating the quantity of seed it sows is also a capital one, requiring no change of cog wheels, and but the shifting of a light lever to the tight or left. On the whole we were much struck with the real practical improvements involved in this new machine. We understand that it is also made with guano and timothy seed sowing attachments, without which, of course, it would be of little utility in this sec- tion of country where not one in a hundred sow wheat without at the same time putting in guano and timothy secd. We regret that want of space compels us to eut short this deseription of the points of in- terest in this fair, because there is no subject of greater public importance than improve- ment in agricultural methods and modes. As fast as we progress in all other elements of pa- tional wealth and power, it will be centuries before agriculture ceases to be the great over- shadowing inferest in the United States, if ever. Sueh display in bringing together nearly all the important results of the application of American mechanical genius, science and skill to improvements in agricultural implements, and nearly all the results of the patient labor, More Caners.—The New Orleans Picayune states that a ship and a barque, the former having eighty and the latter forty camels on board, bad arrived off the Southwest Pass, and have been ordered to Galveston, and that there camels are imported by the General Giovern- ment, and will be forwarded to Camp Verde. On inquiry at the proper Department this morning, we were informed that it is a mistake to suppose that these animals are imported by the General Government. If it isa fact that there are camels imported, the affair is eatirely in the hands of private individuals, who may probably entertain the hope that they can sell them to the Government at a profit. Whether their expectations will be realized can only be determined after it is ascertained what action Congress will take in regard to the matter, as the appropriation formerly made for the in- troduction of camels was exhausted, and no officer of the Government now has either the authority or funds to make purchases. More than this, the Government would hardly pur- chase camels from the west coast of Africa, whence these are said to have come. We understand that Lieutenant Beale has orders to take with him in his exploring jour- ney several more of the camels.at Camp Verde, besides the twenty-five that are already with his party. Istauus or Sugz Caxat.—Letters from Trieste announce the arrival of Mr. de Lesseps from Constantinople, and state that, at an in- terview with the municipal authorities of the city, the president of the Chamber of Com- merce and the principal merchants, he gaye very satisfactory information on the progress of the Isthmus of Suez Canal. Letters, which he read, contained assurances of the support of the French Government to the enterprise, and that the opposition of the English Government will not prevent its realization. The whole f Europe, as well as Turkey, Egypt and the United States, are expected to contribute means to carry out this gigantic work Austria is set down for four millions of dollars ; Ger- many, Sweden, Denmark, Switzerland, Hol- land Belgium, are expected to contribute three millions, collectively ; and the sums already offered by these countries exceed that amount considerably. The first Council of Administra- tion will meet in Paris early in November, to decide upon the proportion of the capital to be allotted to each country, and the time of com- mencing the work. Tux Iraviax Orena.—The deferred sale of seats for the Opera commenced to-day, and has been carried on with a spirit which augurs an overflowing attendance. Few eligible seats are left unbought, and those will be taken, we presume, before theopening night. Trovetore, the popular opera o: the’day, will be the first production, with the magnificent Parodi in the leading ro/e, sustained by the other eminent artists of this admirably complete company. The second opera will be La Traviata, with Madame Colson in her brilliant rendition of Violetta. The operatic season will positively close on Saturday night with I/ Pwritant, in which Madame De Wilhorst achieved her great- est European success. It will be long before the music-lovers of Washington are offered such an attraction as M. Strakosch’s Grand Company affords, and the opportunity of en- joyment will not, we are assured, be neglected. The New York Orchestra, and a fullchorus, are among the accessions of the Company. Tue Treaty witn Caixa.—aAs the Teport has reached here that the Emperor of China has ratified the recent treaties between his commissioners and the representatives of Eng- land, France, Russia, and the United States, it only remains now for the treaty with this country to be ratified by the President and Senate, when a special messenger will be sent to China to exchange ratifications. Mr. Reed's request to be allowed to return home having been granted, ie will be expected back during the approaching winter. Morr Steamers ror Panacuay.—We un- derstand that the Navy Department has con- cluded an agreement with the owners of the Canada and America, two steamers formerly employed on Lake Ontario, but now in New York harbor, for their use in the expedition against Paraguay. It is said that the price to be paid for them is $4,000 per month, the own- ers to bear the risks incident to the passage out and back.
