He says that this is not the case, but that four prisoners are now in Prison in that place, who have been examined by the council, and who, by the confession and other evidence of two of their number, are all guilty of a participation in the outrages committed at Dic ‘s house, while they all declare that their fifte companion, who hax not yet been ar- rested, committed the murder of Steinbeck. Upon their evidence and confession the court verbally declared the guilt of four prisoners, yet it is disinclined to proceed further with the case until the fifth criminal shali have been arrested and brougbt to trial.

Reports, Srecutations, &c.—Itis current- ly stated here that the iron manufacturers of Pennsylvania are endeavoring to organize an association to promote their interests in differ- ent portions of the Union, and with a view to coatrol the next Presidential election. They will urge not only specific duties on iron, but discrimination generally by the Government in favor of their particular line of interests. Ex-Senator Cooper, it is stated, will address a convention of those engaged in this move- ment, in Philadelphia, at an early day. Republican Senators and Representatives in Congress are said to have come to the unani- mous conclusion that parties and politics are so shaped in this Congress that nothing will be effected during the present session concerning the Pacific railroad or @ modification of the tariff. That is equivalent to declaring that they will do all in their power to prevent the consummation of any practical result in either matter, with a view of keeping the questions open to strengthen their own party in the na- tional election of 1860. We hear it said that a sort ef political re- union took place on Christmas day, at the resi- dence of Mr. F. P. Blair—Silver Spring—at which there were in attendance a strange ad- mixture of ‘“‘ black spirits and white, blue spirits and gray,’’ all belonging to some branch or other of the opposition. Commander Wilkes has made a lengthy re- Port on the mineral character of Chatham county, N. C., with a view to establishing at that point a naval depot of construction. He considers the spot selected as almost fabulously rich in coal and iron of the best quality. The report will shortly bo submitted to Congress. Mr. Greenwood, of Ark., recently submitted to the House Judiciary Committee, a bill to pun- ish negro stealing in the Indian country, and the question is believed to have arisen, in the Committee room, whether slavescan be heldin the Indian country, under the Constitution. As the Committee are divided in their views, the matter will, no doubt, be brought befure Con- gress at an early day, and present a new phase of the inexhaustible issue. The contract for the steamers America and Canada, which were intended for the Paraguay expedition, has not yet been signed, and it is probable those vessels will not be employed by the Government. The fact that they are side- wheel steamers is a serious objection to them, and it is hoped the force already sent to Para- guay will be sufficient. Dr. Jerez alleges that he anticipates receiv- ing the Cass-Irissari treaty next week, fally ratified. We hear that a bill will soon be submitted to the House of Representatives, providing for the establishment of Consular pupils, to be as- signed to such Consulates as the President may deem proper, and from whom future Consuls shall be selected. It is believed that Commodore Stringham will be appointed to succeed Com. McIntosh in command of the Gulf squadron. A Tempzst tN 4 Tea-pot.—The New York Commercial Advertiser is terribly disgruntled over our recent allusion to the probability that efforts in Southern Georgia to enforce the due execution of the law for the prevention of the African slave trade, will prove as abortive as efforts in New England to enforce the due ex- ecution of the fugitive slavelaw. The Adver- tiser assumes the privilege of attributing what we said in that connection to official inspira- tion—a silly thought, truly. We know not whether the Government hero share in the opinion of ours thus disgruntling our cotem- Porary; yet we are well satisfied of its correct- ness. Those who know the firmness of Presi- dent Buchanan and his Cabinet are well satis- fied that every power the laws give them to en- foree the due execution of the law in the case of the Wanderer, will be promptly and firmly executed; but wherever (out of South Carolina) public opinion is in this countty opposed to the execution of a law, it is virtually = dead letter; and nowhere else more surely so than in the city where the Advertiser itself is print- ed. The i: meshes catch and hold far fewer, there, contrary to the vicious public opinion of the vicinage, than at the South. There, and throughout New England, “ the law’’ in such cases is little more, practically, than the bas- tard public opinion of the hour. The Advertiser, by-the-by, threatens to dis- solye the Upion “immediately, if not sooner,” in case the Iaw fails to be executed against the Wanderer’s alleged offence. We advise that journal to begin its work of dissulution rather because throughout almost the entire North the Fugitive Slave Law is notoriously a dead letter. Hundreds of abortive efforts to ex: cute that law haye been essayed, and it is quite as proper to dissolye the Union on ao- count of the failure to execute the law for the Protection of slave property, as for the failnte to execute the law to prevent the African slave trade, we opine. Now that the Southern bull thus gores the Northern ox, the Advertiser bel- lows loudly, indeed; though for ten years past, while the Northern bull was goring the South- ern ox, that journal held, with Mr. Toots, that it was ‘‘of no consequence.” . Revinixe Disasyep Aewy axp Marine Corps Orricers.—The bill recently toported by the Senate’s Committee on Military Affairs, to promote the efficiency of the Army and Ma- rine Corps, by retiring disabled officers, and about which a good deal of public interest is manifested, provides as follows : First. That a commissioned oficer, incapable of —- duty, shall be withdrawn from active seryice, und from the line of Promotion. and shall be piaced on a retired list. He is stil to receive the proper pay data Tank he held at the time of his retiracy, whetier by stay or regi- mental commission, together with, the service rations, and the allowance (as provided by law) for one servant. If the disability ts the result of wounds received in action, bis pay and allow- ance are to be that of the highest rank to which be hes gttained, by brevet or otherwise. Second. ‘Phe officer next in renk to the retired Ofticer, is to be promoted to fill the vacancy oc- casioned by his retiracy; ang the vacancies of lower rank, occurring in ci quence, are to be filled by the same ruie of p: jon. Third. There is never to be on the retired list, at one time, more than steht yd centum of the —_— number of the officers of the army, as fixed by law Fourth. Whenever gn officer fs to be retired, on the plea of incapacity, by bis own desire, by reporting himself una! to perform a duty to an - bape ~ oe the President rege! im ipeapable performing active ser- vice, a board of not jess than nine oMcers, of su- Perior rank, if practicgble, sha} {nvestipate the case. Lf this board shail fad that the dlsabjlity arises from exposure, wounds, &c , lacuried tn the performance of duty, or from causes not at- tributable to vicious habits, then the officer is to ve placed oa the retired list. Jf the disability is traceable to vicious habits, then g court-martial is to be ordered to try the officer on the charges and specifications alleged against him, without Fefereuce to the time when committed. a Fifth Au officer may be withdrawn from the fetived list and placed in active service, if he be- comes able to perform it, but he is to receive the pay and emoluments of the grade which he held at the Lime of bis retiracy. Istenestixg to Natugacists.—At the re- quest of the Smitbeonian Lostitution, Baron Osten Sacken, of the Kussian legation, who has made a special duty of Dipterous Tusects, bas Prepared a catalogue of the Previously de- scribed epecies of this Continent, analogous to that of Melsheimer’s catalogue of the Cleop- tera of the United States, which was published gr fees ago by this Lastitution. j requently happens that the same apimal is desoribed by different naturalists under dif- ferent names, and there may be the specics epumerated in this Catalogue some of this character, but in the present state of the knowledge of American Dipters the publica- tion of acomplete synonymical catalogue is impossible. Yet list like the one just com- pleted is an indispensable preparatory work for the future study of this branch of entomo- logy. The catalogde includes the species in- iabiting not only the North American conti nent in general, but also those in Central America and the West Indies. It also gives the principal localities where each species has been found. Ina list like this, says the suthor, completeness is the principal merit; the symmetrical arrangement is but of secon- dary importance. The groups adopted by Mei- gen and Wiedemann are retained, avoiding the bdivisions introduced by modern authors. The publication of this list will very much facilitate the study of entomology. Comsvar anv DrpLomatic APPOINTMENTS. The Senate recently confirmed the following consular appointments : Theodore Frean, of N.Y., to Belfast; J. F. Maguire, of Mass., to Melbourne; C. J.

Szxator Dovetas.—A Washington corres- pondent of the Journal of Commerce men- tions that Senator Douglas is, now, not ex- pected here until after the Illinois Senatorial election takes place. His statement reminds us of the fact that though when the Democratic cauous “arranged” him out of the chaiiman- ship of their Territories Committee, he started post (steamboat) haste for Washington. His friends now here are very generally of opinion that, on reflection, he will carry out his alleged original purpose of eschewing public catechisa- tion in the Senate chamber until after the oo- currence of the expected Illinois Senatorial election. Resumption or Lanor.—We learn that the force employed in the erection of the Post Office extension resumed their labors yesterday, after an intermission of about two woeks. The Sec- retary of War, as the Scar previously ex- plained, concluded to continue the work, although the appropriation is exhausted, in order that the hands may not be thrown out of employment during the present inclement season. Tux Scuooner Svusanx.—Advices were re- ceived here last evening of the return of this vessel from Nicaragua, where she had suc- ceeded in landing her cargo of “emigrants” without opposition. Orders were forwarded immediately, it is believed, to detain the Su- san at Pensacola. James MeDowell, of . RK. B. : GovgRNorsuir or Nesraska.—It is thought “on the Avenue’’ that the Hon. Samuel Black, one of the United States judges for Nebraska, will be appointed Governor of that Territory, and that his present position will be filled by 8 prominent citizen of Georgia, whose friends are pressing him for it.
