WASHINGTON GITY: MONDAY. «+eee.. November 15,1558. ———EE= === SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Union notices the indomitable energy of the Postmaster General and his agents dis- played in the matter of furnishing the trans- Teg settlers with regular mail facilities. t says: EVENING STAR. “ It is not ‘ible, however, in mere terms of to ress upon the reader a full real- of the difficulties that have been encoun- overcome. Several great lines of semi- ‘weekly mails have been established, running at intervals from each other, entirely across the Continent, from the Mississippi to the Pacific; and these are traversed at righ! angles by shorter lines, which ie, with the main ones, a net- work of mail routes overspreading our whole ex- ‘western domain.” The Union, also, quotes an article from the Richmond Enquirer, dissenting from positions om squatter sovereignty occupied by Judge Douglas. “The ene {continues the Union] evidently Giscredits the idea that Judge Douglas holds the opinions on this subject which we have attributed to him, otherwise we should judge from the pon mn, oc that its editor, who has been Fee some time the pranks of the hero of Donnybrook Fair, was endeavoring to pick a uarrel with the ‘Little Giant.” Atall events, the Enquirer is entitled toa response from Judge Dougias or bis organs, and we shall await with interest the response ”* From the refusal of a large number of Massa- chusetts electors to exercise the right of suffrage at the recent election, the Intelligencer draws the inference ‘that a wide field is opened from which each of the parties now most compactly organized can hope to reoruit its forces, by offering to this large class some other motives of political activity than those which bave Bearly spent their force, as, in default of some concessions made by one or the other of the Present political confederations to this wide and pervading sentiment, it is easy to augur that some more useful organization will arise to meet the demand that is made for practical and beneficial legis! Ms ——_—+e-____- > Tux Horaicane —The terrific hurricane which blew from the northeast ia the Inst week ia (cto- ber, which extended from the Bermudas to the Banks of Newfoundland and thence to the Brit- ish coast will not soon be forgotten by those sca- faring men who witnessed it in all its force Every day since then our news columns bave been telling the tale of the fury of this terrible ‘Ror-easter; and the testimony of all the captains of those vessels that were caught in it is that they mever experienced such a hurricane, althouzh some of them had beeu at sea for twenty or thirty years. —_—_—_ > The extraordinary feat of walking sixty hours without rest or sleep has been performed by the Highland maid at Pongkeepsie. She com- menaced on Tuesday morning last, at 11 o'clock, and concluded on ‘Thursday night at that bour. She has been closely watched the whole of the time. At7o’clock on that evening she locked extremely fatigued, and it was found that she could not continue much longer. Her eyes were bloodshot and almost closed; and it was with the greatest difficulty that she could place one foot before the other. AtS ’clock she rallied, walked faster, answered the questions addressed to her, and appeared to be gathering strength as her time upon the plank grew shorter. ot as Sei a Naw Yorx Erection —The following is the @Micial vote for Congress in the Third District: Wards. Sickles. Walbridge. Williamson 1. - ae val elt 33 3,177 257 Williamson. Walbridge. It is contended that Mr. S. has but 46 votes in the 4th district of the First Ward, although re- Ported at 70. If the 24 votes are taken froin him, be will then have 145 over Williamson, and 279 over Walbridge. es Two Cutrprgn tx Oxe —A child with two bodies and three arms was brought to New York some weeks since by a Canzda physician, who bas been exhibiting it at fifty cents a ticket. Te ‘was five monthsold, and enjoyed the usual health of young children until a few days ago; it was at- tacked with an acute disease, and Thursday died. ‘The bodies were found to be united ina manner similar to the uniow ofthe Siamese twins, at the Waist. They are equal insize, and each performed the natural functions in life. From the body tuat is grafted in, at it were, an arm grew at the place funton. This arm is disproportioned, the fore- arm being very smal! and short, laving four fin- gers, two of which are webbed; otherwise the Limbs are all symmetrical. [A cast has been taken of this ‘freak of nature,” which will give a per- fect idea of the great curiosity. Revotvurion at Guarmas.—Private letters re- ceived at New York from Guaymas, dated Octo- ber 10, give accounts of the revolation confirma- tory of the recent published statement. They say that Captain Stone, with his surveying party, consisting of thirty Americans, occupied three houses in the centre of the town, directly be- tween the opposing parties. If the attack bad been made on bim be would have hoisted the American flag and fought undertit, they being weil armed and baving picaty of ammunition, ands brig in the harbor mounting two nine- pound guns to retreat to Sf necessary. Lieut Mowry was ready to lend assistance with his own men. Thecivil war ended by the surrender of the authorities to the rebel party. After getting all they demanded, and obtaining a guarantee of immunity from prosecution, the rebels reinsta- ted the authorities. The Americans were not attacked owing to their tirm position and declin- ing to surreuder their houses to to the rebel leader. _——_—— Contestzp Seats 1x rue Next Coxoress.— According to newspaper reports, A. J. William- son, American, will contest the tight of the Hon. Daniel E. Sickles, Democrat, to represent the third district of New York in the Thirty-sixth Congress. Gouverneur Kemble, Democrat, will Join issue with Hon. John B Haskin, anti-Le- compton, for the right to represent the ninth dis- trict of that State.

Barrett, Demo- erat, in the first district of Missouri, was elected by fraud, and, on that ground, he will claim the arat. —$ Tux Vittace BLacksmitH.—There is now to be seen at the book store of Taylor & Maury, un impression, on India paper, of Patterson cele- brated engraving of Herri equally celebrated master piece—The Village Blacksmith. Herring, next to Landseer, is the greatest living painter of familiar, and especially rural, life—equal to any Sngland bas so far produced; while Patterson, Jately deceased, never bad bis equal in England in multiplying such gems by the engraver’s art. ‘The picture on which we are commenting, rep- resents a sta!wart smith, shoeing a noble horse, from whose eye beams as much: intelligence as from that of the fine specimen of manhood him- self. A greyhound looking on, is portrayed as artistically as the figures before mentioned ; while the smith’s wife, just entering the shop with inner basket on arm, completes the charming Pleture. As represented, she is a woman with ‘whom one must be a stoic, indeed, not to fall in Jove at iret sight. We question whether a finer similar work of ast was ever seen in the Federay Metropolis, and are really puzzled which most to aGmire im it, the genius and taste of the painter, or the fidelity and skill of the engraver Copies of it are to be distributed to the sub: seribers to the publication of the Cosmopolitan who are fortunate in thus obj WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP Tae Journey across tHe Piains. —To-day we publish another very interesting letter from the Washingtonian in El Paso, who has fur- nished us with cepious notes from his journal of his journey from Kansas to that point. We have another from his pen, also on hand. Both will be found of espegial interest. We know no more agreeable chronicler of the events of such a trip than this correspondentof the Star: Et Paso, (Texas.) Oct. 17, 1953. Editor of the Washington Star: On closing my letter to the Star, on the 3d inst., I bad just entered the stage fora passage to this Place. The stage in drawn by six mules, with one driver and outrider; and eleven mules, under the direction of another man, are driven along as relay mules. There are four passengers and the agent of the line, together with trunks, bed- ning and armor, all crowded ina small ambu- lance. ‘The back seat is occupied bya Dutchman, and a Spaniard from Oid n, who stole a march in obtaining it; the middle seat (which is our trunks) is occupied by Captain Tivy veyor) and myself; Major Wells (the aget beside the driver. In armor, every one shooter, some bowie knives, and I a Sharp’s rifle. The stage is furnished with what { call an orlop deck; that is, underneath the bee! there is a sort of bex in which most of our bedding js carried. The boot of the contains our provisions, cooking utensils and table furniture As we have opportunities of purchasing on the road, we do not take a very large store of provisions. Thus armed and equipped, on Wednesday, August! 25, A. D. 1838, about 8 o’clock a. m.. we took our departure from Santa Fe, in presence of a large number of persons the occzsion bad assemble As soon as we leave the valley of the Rio Santa Fe we are upon an open, sterile prairie, on which a few stunted cedars grow. On the east we are constantly in sight of a succession of lofty hills that rise from tbe plains; some of them are regu- lar cones, and one in particular, near Delgardo’s ranch, bas as much regularity as if it had been formed by art; on its summit across bas been Placed. On our right, the range of hills which skirt the valley of the Rio Grande present a suc- cession of colshs the most beautiful that the imagination can conceive. ‘The mountains in the distance seem to penetiate the sky. Jtis not an unusual thing on these hills to see a white cloud about half-way between the bottom and GA and the tops ef some of the hills obscured by clouds fn the afternoon we reached the Gallisto creek, which we passed down a half mile or more, crossing it several times. It is reached by the rouzhest road 1 have yet seen, and on every side of the road there are clitfs of besalt and ancient lava. The general level of these mesas or table lands, on the top of the lava hills, is covered b gramma grass and dwarf cedars. We stopped, near night, sepetite a dilapidated Puebla village with achurch in ruins. We obtained some thin mud from en acequia, or irrigating diteh, with which we made our colfee for supper. Rio Grande mud makes excellent cotfee. After supper, and in the night, we went about four miles, and stopped in the (own of Alyodones, ( English, Cottontown, )w bese we slept at TVhomp- son's forda, (tavern) ‘This isthe first time I have siept ina bed while traveling xince f left Washington.

This isa beautiful village. The houses and feuces are built of adobes, the latter very high and surmounted with cactus Here the vineyards commence. The postmaster has an acre or two in vines a yearortwoold. We passed this morning a large grave yard, or rather a battle ground. It issaid the Pueblos were here at work, when they were cuarged upon by a party of wild Indians, and a larve number of the Pu- eblos were Killed. It is not known now whether the small piles of stones mark tue spot where the Pueblos were kilied or where they were buried As these piles, about one bundred in number, are very scattering, | should think they denote the places of slauzh It is the custom of the In- dians, when one ets killed, to bury him on the spot where he wis killed, and ‘to make a smail pile of stones on the grave. ‘Then, as his rela- Uves afterwards passes the grave, they carry an- other stone and place it on the pile. ‘The Mex- ican custom is to erect a small wooden cross on or near the place where oue was killed. On our road to-day I saw a yood many crosses, especially near pep ae! a many thata person would infer that lew persons died natural deaths in this country. We passed one or twosmall towns, und reached Albuquerque at 12 o'clock. Maj. Wells having busiuess, we remained here about three hours, dined, and looked round the town. There are some fine retail stores here. The buildings are constructed with more taste than is usual in Mexican towus. Col. Booneville commands the United States troops stationed here. There are agood many grape venders. The fruit is not quite ripe, but still it isexcellent. There are, 1 am told, s good many vineyards in the neighbor- bood. One discharged soldier has ninety thou- sand vines. We stopped for supper near a pond; and, resuming our journey, we over some tremendous sand hills, and slept on a sand beach a ge Opposite the Indian town of Isleta, (1» and) The Indians are holding their © annua!,”* and this is the last and most interesting nigut. Themselves and dogs make a tremendous noise Inthe morning, the who:e town will assemble before sunrise, and will take an elevated position to see if Montezuma does not rise with the sun. ass So —Started eurly. Mrj. Wells and my- self walked ahead for more thana mile over a sand plain. During the prevalance of northers, the sand is thrown in large mounds, sometimes covering balf an acre of ground, aud {s more than twenty feet high. Whenever it begins to settie, generally around a bush, the lodgment soon be comes a mound; and sometimes these mounds are removed, in the course of afew hours, several buudred yards, and are re-formed. We passed Dr. Connelly’« this morning. He married the widow Chaviz; a aj.

We pessed Otero’s ranche, Paraita and Valneria, smali towns. This is peresee the wealthiest place in New Mexico. We breakfasted at San Tome, where we were shown much attention by an old Mexican. The whole country is in motion—ali sortof strange vebicies are on the road, and many areon horse back. Here, if 2 man and woman are on one borse, the woman rides before, and her feet are sometimes on one side of the horse, and sometimes onthe other. Male and female use the same saddies. There is a grand feast in some of the upper towns, given in honor of the patron saint. I did not learn whether it was ia Islata or a Mexican town. The Indians are all Catholics, and couform to the rules of that Church, observ. os a few ceremonies of their own not in coniiict with cburch discipline. We reached Casas Colo- rado, (Red Houses,) a simall towa, by noou Here we bought a quantity of very excellent gral the kind cultivated at El Passo. 1 went up iuto town; the old fellow who keeps a house Of eelestatument bates an American worse thana rattlesnake. 1 found one of my companions eu- gaged in conversation with bis dauhter, who is Tather beautiful and is quite sprightly—she is the Village belle. She was seated, tailor-fashion, on the yrouud floor of the portal, and exhausted one or two cigaritas before 1 vamosed. Her color is that of a moderately bright mulatto, quite fair for a Mexican. Our road is over sand hills and mesas ; near the place whe re we stopped, at four o’clock y’or dinner and supper, at an old ranche, there lived some years aoa Mexican, Who, ax some soldiers were returning from Mexico, soid them some corn for theirhorses. The soldiers strayed off while their horses were eating, and the Mexican slipped out and stole back the corn. Some of the soldiers had kept watch onlcknowins to the Mexican They made him carry back the corn, then walked him out to a cotton wood where they made bim receipt for one hundred lashes, well laid on. Served bimright. We traveled tilleleven o'clock and it seemed to me that we were ascending a high mountain. It was the effect of a night mir- age. We passed a village (La Joy, | believe.) and encamped ina fine locality of mosquitoes. At supper I ate some chile rerdo (green pepper) which gave me the diarrhea, and | was quitesick nearly all the next day. ¥ yg. Invrortant To Postwasterns.—The Post Of- fice Department has, for some time past, given an unusual share of attention to the correction of abuses in the postal service, from which the Government suffered very materially. These abuses, generally, do not consist in positive violations of the laws, but rather in neglect, on the part of postmasters, to perform the functions of their positions according to the regulations of the Department contained in the circular of instructiuus delivered to them. One of the most frequent of these cases of ne- glect is the fuilure to cancel postage stamps, and although the omission to deface a stamp now and then appears like a trifling matter, when we take into consideration the vast num- ber of post offices in the country, end the many thousands of stamps which pass through them daily, it will be perceived that the Goy- ernment may, in this manner, be deprived of a large proportion of the revenue which should scerue to it from this source, through only occasional neglect. Again, the law and {he instrpetions of the Post Office Department imperatively require that the postage on all transient printed mat- ter shallybe prepaid by postage stamps, and thatsuch matter shail be distinctly post-marked at the mailing office. Yet this regulation, Hike the one abeve referred to, is frequen@ly ne- glected; and it is stated that a prac! also beoome common, among ae : poetmasters, of buying patronage to re Spective offices to the injury of those naturally entitled to it, by allowing the mailing party a portion of their own commission. The Depart- ment has determined that hereafter any ne- glect on the part of a postmaster to obey the above instructions, or any such unfair practice for obtaining patronage, will be considered good cause for the removal of the offender. A Fortacomixg Dewoxstration. — The shouting of sore-headed and fishey democratic presses over the alleged victory of Douglas— which turns out te be no victory, as a majority of both branches of the Illinois Legislature are certainly opposed to his re-election, and the popular majority against his candidates is at least 5,000 votes—has had the effect of stimu- lating not a few nervous gentlemen holding office in these diggings to declare themselves Douglasites for the next presidency. even 80 early. These individuals, acting under the auspices of Mayor Berret and the little squad managing our municipal affairs in his nam are preparing to get up a grand Douglas dem- onstration here on the return of the Senator to this city, under pretence of doing him honor for what he has done for Washington city in his legislative capacity. So far as that pretence is concerned, the pub- lio here will undoubtedly appreciate its claim to ingenuousness on the part of those assuming to manage the affair. Douglas has been as con- siderate as scores of others of all parties in Congress towards Washington and the District, for which this public feel as grateful to him as tothem. But the idea of his being more enti- tled to thanks on that score than Mr. Seward, for instahce—to whom such an ovation on that account has not yet been tendered—is worse than preposterous; insomuch as this District never had a more active friend in Congress than Senator S., however much the squad of city offic’ and other officeholders anxious to lay anchors to windward (and not knowing from what quarter the wind may eventually blow,) might dislike, at ¢/2s stage of the Presi- dential game, to cast them towards him—Sew- ard-wi Up to this time wo have not been able to get the precise hang of this intended pro-Douglas demonstration of Mayor Berret, his unofficial Council, et a/., and feel inclined to await a certificate from under the hand of, say—Alderman Mohun—that it is an affair in- volving no imputation on the integrity of the Democracy of the Mayor and the officeholders who may possibly be connected with it, ere knowing precisely what to make of it. Tae Uran Wan.—The expenditure for the Utah imbroglio, as far as made by the Quar- termaster’s department, amount to $5,132,000. Four thousand nine hundred and forty-seven wagons and ambulances, fifty-three thousand three hundred and ninety-six hor , mules, and oxen, exclusive of animals for artillery and cavalry, were furnished. The pay of the offi- cers and men, and the cost of subsistence, which would have been incurred had the forces been engaged in any other service than this, are not, of course, included in this estimate. The cost of transportation is included, as it was an ex- pense incidental to this affair. Navau.—Second Assistant Engineer Cush- man, of the Navy, has been transferred from the Susquehanna to the chartered steamer Westernport, of the Paraguay expedition. Taw Weatuzn.—The following repert of the weather for this morning is made from the Morse Telegraph line to the Smithsonian Institution. The time of observation is about 7 o’clook: NoveMpar 15, 1858.

She brings the intelligence that Guadalajara has been recaptured by the Liberals, after being desperately defended. The Liberals have been reinforced by a thousand men. The people were rejoicing over the result. Zuloaga was anxious to retire from his official position as President. Mazatlan was also in possession of the Liberals. San Blas \s the only town on the Pacific now held by the Zuloaga party. ‘The clergy had offered Zuloga another million dollars aid. The steamer Guerrero was recaptured in ‘Ta- basco river by the Liberals. Ibe Spanish steamer Colonel was at Sacrificio. Ofaco hed been captured by Gen.

Among the former are John Bigelow, Esq., and family, of the Evening Post; Captain Comstock, late of the Collins steamship Baltic; Madame D’Angri, of tue Opera Troupe; Rev. John Lewis and lady: Col. Tevit, of the Turkish army, and Hon. James Brooks and son, New York. if The steamer Arayo had a rough passage oa her outward trip. When about a week out, a sudden lurch of the ship caused the eldest daugh- ter of Mrs. Crawford to fall and break her arm. It was set immediately by the surgeon of thesbip. By this untoward accident Mrs. C. will be de- tained at Harve a considerable time before she can resume her journey to Rome.
