The Union contains an article showing the fraudulent nature of some of the California land claims; and one advocating the construc- tion of a Pacific Railroad, as a measure of na- tional policy. The Intelligencer speaking of the returned filibusters, doubts not that the intelligence will be reecived with satisfaction, a8 well by the Government as the great majority of the people of the United States, and hopes that there will be no serious attempt made to man- ufacture an ‘outrage’ out of the humane conduct of the British officers in the matter.

U7 Accounts from Kansas and Nebraska pa- pers present flattering pictures of the abundance of gold found in the mines of both those Territo- ties. The news has caused no little excitement in that region, and a large emigration will doubt- less take place in the Spring to the new dig- gings. ss i[7 The statement of the U.S. Mint for the month of December shows a gold coinage of $521,390, nearly all of which was in double- eagles. The silver coinage for the same time covered 2,962,000 pieces, of the value of $445,500. Of cents there were 2,200,000 coined.

President Bu- chanan’s proclamation of pardon to the Mormons ‘was before the Court of the Third Judicial dis- trict. Judge Sinclair claimed the right first to find out the guilty, pass sentence, and then ap- ply the pardon. The Prosecuting Attorney for the United States supports the executive, Com- missioners and new Governor, and regards the course of the Judge as unnecessarily tending to increase difficulties in that Territory. sas anesbciies ties oaioctacs Saae i Quite an excitement prevailed at Troy, N.Y., on Sunday evening, in consequence of the discovery of two dead bodies (in a partially dissected condition) in a house on Congress street _ A crowd of several hundred persons gathered in the vicinity, and threatened to tear the house down. Finally, coffins were Procured and the bodies taken away, and after the complete gutting of the room in which they had been found, the excitement was somewhat allayed SHockine Accipent.—at Manchester, N.H., on Friday evening last, two men, Sami.

They were lit- erally torn to pieces between the large wheel of the mill and a post, so that the flesh and limbs were torn in a great many Pieces, and not one left over two feet long. Bunker was showing Cargill how to make the nighily examination of the wheels and it is supposed that he (Banker) ‘was caught in the wheel first and that Cargill in trying to save him was caught. i> The overland mail of the 6th instant has arrived at St. Louis. The coaches b ought six passengers, including Major Emory. The pre- vious accounts from the Gila gold mines are con- firmed, and there is said to be considerable emi- gration to Sonora from California. The Utah mail of the 26tn of November brings additional intelligence respecting the meeting of the United States District Court on the 25th. It is untrne that Brigham Young bas been summon- ed to answer to the charge of false imprisonment of Gentiles; nor has Major Crossman, as bas been reported, left for the “‘States./” ‘The snow on the mountains was very deep and the weather severe. Consequently there was great suffering among both men and animals. The Sioux were joining the Cheyennes against the Pawnees Gold has been discovered on a small lake hear Ash Hollow. Ninety doliars’ worth was collect- ed in the course of afew hours by the wagon master. ——______ iJ” At Worcester, Mass » On Saturday last, a two story brick engine house was blown up sotho- roughly with all its contents, that not one brick remained upon the other. A fire bad been made In the engine house the night before, and it is supposed that the gas, which had been smelling strong on the premises for a day or two, bad com- muonicated from the main Pipe to the cellar, and when it reached the room where the explosion eccurred. completely shattered the building to atoms. The large school house, not twenty feet distant, had its windows on every side almost entirely blown in, and the building itself was otherwise seriously injured.

The whole day was occupied with the argument of preliminary questions by coun- sel—both Mr. Wm. Pinkney White for Cropps, and Mr. Wm. P. Preston, for Corrie, desiring the prisoners to be tried separately, alleging an- tagonistic grounds of defence. Mr. Preston also moved for a postponement of the case of Corrie, on the ground that all the business originating in said county, to which the record of said in- dictment had been removed, ready for trial and Tequiring the intervention of a jury, had not been tried, dismissed, continued, or otherwise dis- ‘posed of for the present term, according to the Jaw tn such case made and provided. This mo- tion was overruled. The motion for separate trials was heid under advisement until this Morning. The Court-bouse was densely filled ‘with spectators from Baltimore and the sur- rounding country. The Prisoners occupied seats im one corner of the room. Corrie seemed greatly dejected, and sat with bis eyes fixed upon the floor, whilst Cropps bore the same hard, cast- iron countenance and manner that be exhibited when arraigned, and was apparently indifterent ‘as to the circumstances by which he is ‘surround- |, oF else confident of escape from punishment 4ox the crime for which be has been arraigned. Cropps and Peter WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. Squiruinc.—With few exceptions, the Oppo- sition press of the Nortage busy misrepresent- ing the action of the Government withrreferénce to the affair of the Wanderer. They are wat buting to the President and his — advisers indisposition to enforce the law a ishing the African slave trade on the part citizens of the United States, against those con- eorned in the Wanderer’s unlawfal venture. In this they do gross injustice. It is very cer- that every power and expedient at the command of the Government to recover the ne- groes illegally imported, and to punish the im- porters, has been put in motion; while it is no less certain that no Government officials ever exerted themselves more faithfully than have those whose duty it is to attend to this case. As strenuously as the officers of the Govern- ment exerted themselves in the Wisconsin and northern Ohio fugitive slave cases of late years, their fidelity and earnestness did not surpass the fidelity and earnestness with which the United States law officers of southern Georgia are now endeavoring to vindicate the integrity of the law in the case of “‘ the Wanderer.” This being so, aspersions on the Government and its officers on the part of those presses that persistently abetted and justified the nullifi- cation of the fugitive slave law, come with very bad grace. They blow hot and cold with the same breath. Thus, they were for a dissolu- tion of the Union because the officers of the Government essayed to enforce a law they dis- liked and completely nullified, and now go for the dissolution of the Union because the officers of the Government may not be able to enforce @ law at the South, as obnoxious at the South as the fugitive slave law is at the North; and equally as justly so. For our part, though for the due enforeement of both laws, we enter- tain as little hope that the law for the suppres- sion of the African slave trade can be duly en- forced in southern Georgia, as that the fugitive slave law will hereafter be duly enforced in northern Ohio and Wisconsin. We ean, how- ever, assure the disgruntled opposition press of the North, that whenever public opinion in their quarter will permit the fugitive slave law to be aught but a dead letter there, they may rely on it that public opinion at the South will duly enforce every implied obligation in the laws on the part of the South with refer- ence to slavery. Facrs axp Specunations.—It is stated that Gov. Medary, of Kansas, has made a requisi- tion upon the Federal Government for a thous- and troops, to quell the riot and disorder which prevailsin that Territory, notwithstanding the subsidence of political excitement there. It is also stated that the outlawry in Kansas has been a subject of discussion in the Cabinet, and that orders have been forwarded to the United States Marsal to take measures for the arrest of Montgomery and Brown, and others who are alleged to be ringleaders. Agent Hawkins, who was sent to Texas to investigate charges against Mr. Neighbors, Su- perintendent of Indian Affairs, will, it is said, in afew days submit a report showing the charges to have been without foundation. It is asserted that quite a number of mem- bers of Congress propose recommending a modi- fication of the African slave-trade law. It is thought the death penalty which was attached to its violation, is too severe, and renders the law nugatory. They are said to be about to Propose to institute a less extreme, but more certain punishment. It is understood that the Liverpool Consulate will shortly be vacant, Mr. Tucker having sig- nified his intention not to remain, owing to the inadequacy of salary. The opening session of the Illinois Legisla- ture for 1859, took place yesterday, and the result of the all important election of United States Senator to succeed Judge Douglas, is awaited with intense interest. Mysterious ru- mors have been circulated of intrigues mong the Douglasites and Republicans which are said to affect the certainty of Mr. Douglas’s election. So says a correspondent of the Hrr- ald. Itis stated on the Avenue that the Dou- glasites here look for the election to transpire to-day. We were assured yesterday that the Hon. Wm. Montgomery, of Pa., having purchased a fine set of boxing gloves, is learning to “‘spar’’ under the instruction of a gentleman of Wash- ington skilled in the “ manly art of self-de- fence.” Tae IMPOSING PROCEEDINGS oF THE DAY, in the Senate Chamber, were witnessed by as large a crowd of distinguished persons as ever before assembled in the time-honored hall. Half the House were there, and hundreds be- sides known to fame as former legislators, ex- ecutive statesmen, Government representatives abroad, &c.; also, a large representation of the fair sex. The body of the chamber was filled with chairs occupied by the Senators and mem- bers of the House. The address of Vice-President Breckinridge was the most eloquent and impressive oratori- cal effort of his life, so replete with oratorical triumphs. The effect of its delivery, upon the great men within ear shot, was magical. With one accord it was pronounced the greatest achievement of the kind known to the public history of the confederacy—surpassing the celebrated farewell address delivered by Viee- President Aaron Burr on taking leave of the Senate of the United States. Firisusterinc.—We haye every reason to believe that the current newspaper stories say- ing that other cargoes of filibusters have left the ports of the southern United States since the sailing of the Susan are utterly untrue. The result of the Susan’s expedition cannot fail so to cool the ardor of the filibusters as that no other such expedition will venture to sail for Nicaragua, from the Atlantic side at least, for monthstocome. Of course the presence of the foreign squadrons now guarding the coast of Nicaragua is doing its share to repress disposi- tion at the South to inva Nicaragua. When England shall have made her treaty with Nica- Tagua, and withdrawn her fleet from that quar- ter, we may hear more of serious filibustering efforts there, but hardly until then. Conoress.—The distant public may rest as- sured that the balance of the current session of Congress is destined to be the most indus- trious one known to the history of the country. While something may be due to the very uni- versal condemnation of their act in resolvi ng upon the recent recess, uttered by the press in all quarters of the country, in superinducing extra efforts of labor on the part of the mem- bers, it is also very true that since they first came together on the first Monday of last month, they have labored with far closer ap- plication to business—consummating far more —than ever before so early in the session. Thus they have worked in this Sseasion, and ara destined to work far more systematically during the remainder of it, than ever before. Tae Iviixo1s Senarortau ELection.—The colleagues of Mr. Douglas in Congress, we un- derstand, feel certain that the Senatorial elee- tion will duly come off at Springfield to-day. Those of them who are Douglas men are also certain that Mr. Douglas will be re-elected ere this day’s sun goes down. Heis expected hete to-morrow evening. In coming hither on the day after that election, the Star's readers will perceive that we wore correct in predicting that, “de'il a bit’ would be face the oros.-2x- amination on the floor of the Senate chamber NAeaieet ce apetleme = GEORGETOWN. to which he Would have been subjected if ven- Thirty- mgress—Second Session. ; The Bi i ne to make bis appearance there before his} Ix THe Sexare, to-day, Mr. Stuart stated Correspondence of Star wean that there wera ® great many ladies present who were anxious to witness the proceedings that were about to transpire in the chamber Id. not gain admission into the galle- pedjrend alent fore moved that they aed jtted upon the floor. =e Hamlin objected, stating that former admissions of ladies upon the floor had only resulted in an interruption of the‘proceedings if the body. = The motion ne upon, and the la- dies were not admitted.

He said that the place that had known them so long, would know them no more forever. He spoke of the associations ef pleasure and pride that bound them to the old chamber. He could not help experiencing a feeling of sadness at the change about to be made. This Chamber had been the scene of affairs of great moment—of questions of war and ot ‘answers might affect his chance for re-election. AR! —The Post Office Department has been informed of the arrest, by special agent J. W. Finkes, of C. Stith, deputy postmaster at Nottaway Court House, Va., on a charge of robbing the mail. The amount alleged to be stolen is about $75. The friends of the accused offered to reimburse the amount, but the pros- ecution wonld not agree to this.
