The Cheapest Paper tn America!!! eee SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Union, in an article on the “ improve- ment of the Overland Mail Service,”’ says that hereafter the service from Memphis to Fort Smith will be most admirable, the overland mail company having purchased and placed ‘upon the Arkansas river light draft passenger steamboats to ply regularly semi-weekly be- tween Little Rock and Fort Smith. The same paper contains a historical article on the City of Washington. The Intelligencer is devoted to Congressional proceeding and news to day —e PF Thirty thousand copies of the January number of the ‘Atlantic monthly,’’ were sold on the day of publication.

Morgen’s first message ‘was received and is favorably commented upon by the New York press. It relates almost exclu- sively to State affairs. U7 Some of the New York papers unsuccess- fully tried to prevent any observance of the old Knickerbocker custom of making calls in New York on New Year's day. But it seems the vis- its were as numerous as ever. 7 On Saturday last Dr. W. H. Coffin, of Portsmouth, Va, in the presence of Dr Arthur R. Smith and ether medical men, performed a very suceessful operation on Mrs. Donnel, a resi- @ent of Portsmouth, for dropsy. Fourteen gal- lons of water were taken from the lady, and she is now doing weil. U> The snow storm of Monday was much More severe at the east than in this vicinity Railroad travel and the mails were disarranged inconsequence. The Express train which left Boston early Tuesday morning for New York, baving on board ‘he mails of the America, stuck fast in the suow two miles east of W reester | Mass , and nearly covered with snow, and dia not reach New York until yesterday evening. cen aceasta Aah 17 Judge Russell has given his decision in the case of Wood, Eddy & Co.,in New York, charged with being engaged in the lottery policy business. He held the defendants to answer in the sum of £3,000, and directed the Papers to be sent to the grand jury. ‘Phe decision {s, in sub- stance, that lottery tickets cannot be legally sold or offered for sale in that State, even though the — itself may have been legalized in another ‘ate. 07 In Philadelphia, on Wednesday, in the case of Police Otficer Miller, charged with as- sault and battery, (of which he was found guilty,) Judge Allison charged, among other things, that 8 police officer had no right to make an arrest for impudeace directed to bimself, and it is a great mistake to suppose that such a circumstance jus- tifles an arrest. A police officer may arrest 2 maa for drunkenness on the public highway, and the door-step forms part of that highway. — ee UP Mr. Woods, a Passenger arrived at St. Louis by the overland California mail, says that the Camanche Indians have declared war, and are only awaiting a favorable Opportunity to at- tack the stages. At the eastern ford of the Congo Tiver the coack passed between two camp fires, recently supplied with fuel, indicating the presS ence of the Camanches, who were, doubtless, de- terred from m» king an attack by the number and strength of the mall party. Jt is hoped that the presence of the troops recently sent along the route from Fort Smith will check the operations of the marauders. Aa abundance of quartz has been discovered on the Gila river.

Tue Receptions at THe Executive Max- s10N.—We understand that there will be morning reception at the Executive Mensios on to-morrow (Saturday) commencing st o'clock, and every succeding Saturday during ge tions will Gommence on The evening rece} w Tuesday ecstad 8 o'clock, and will take place on each alternate Tuesday. Back Acaix.—According to pre-arrange- ment, Senator Douglas duly returned to Wash ington city last night. It is to be regretted that he did not return the night before, which could have made little difference to him, we apprehend, as the Illinois Senatorial election was then over. Had he done so, he would have heard the speech delivered yesterday by Senator Iverson, wherein the estimation in which the South holds his new political creed would have been made apparent to him, despite the flattery of the disappointed office-seeker, of that quarter who have rushed under his coat-tails on the principle of seeking “any port in a storm.’ A tremendous effort was made by the disappointed office-seekers here to give him a grand reception, as may be gathered from the following brief Washington dispatch to the New York Tribune: « The news of the re-election of Senator Doug- las causes a great enthusiasm among his parti- sans here, who have raised money by subscrip- tion, and made extensive preparations to receive him on bis arrival to-morrow from Baltimore”? What that effort resulted in, may be gathered from our detailed report of the proceedings on the occasion. Two circumstances doubtless contributed not a little to make it as it was— perhaps the greatest fizzle known to the his- tory of the humbuggery of American politics. First, the sudden demise of the lamented Gen. Henderson, which, of course, prevented the usual hiring of the Marine Band to officiate; next, the failure of the Senator to bring along that brass cannon and those flambeaux which he ** toted’’ throughout his late canvass—the first to announce his august presence to tho excita- ble multitude, and the last to burn incense under his illustrious nose, while also serving to collect crowds of little boys around him in the streets, after nightfall. The contrast between his reception in the Federal Metropolis last night and wherever his traveling cannon thun- dered and his traveling flambeaux made dark- ness visible in Illinois, must indeed have as- sured him of the inestimable value of humbug in politics in those times. Facts, &c.—Documents communicated to the Honse yesterday, in answer to & resolution, ake the fact apparent, that in the matter of the sailing of the filibusters from Mobile, the instructions to the Collector wore necescarily such as to leave him to act at his discretion to a considerable dogree. In resfonse to bis in- quiry as to what should be done with the re- turned shipwrecked filibusters, the Secretary directed that the principals should be present- ed, and desired the Collector to furnish a list of the names of those who arrived in the Brit- ish vessel. The Secretary of the Navy yesterday in- formed the House that the instructions given to Com. MeIntosh, concerning filibusters, ir- formed him that citizens of the United States have the right to expatriate themselves and be- come citizens of any other country, but have no right to make that a cloak for warlike expe ditions. He was reminded that the President regards Com. Paulding’s seizure of Walker and hisffollowers as an error, and was coun- selled not to interfere on land for the purpose of arresting filibustering expeditions, but to protect the persons and property of our citi- zens engaged in lawful business against all violence or oppression. Tas Natioxat Fouxpry.—We notice that a memorial was presented to the Senate yes- terday, by Mr Hunter, for the establishment ofa national foundry opposite the * Point of Rocks,’ on the Potomac river,-in Loudoun county, Va. This, we belicvo, is the seventh or eighth locality, the citizens of which have petitioned Congress for the establishment of the national foundry in their midst.

In tae Senate, yesterday, Mr. Seward pre- ®ented a memorial from the delegates of the people of Kansas, asking to be admitted into the Union ss a sovereign State, together with @ statementef the vote polled at an election held on the third Tuesday of May, 1858, for against the Constitution fra: at Lear- enworth on the 34 of April, 1858, and for State officers provided by the same. The discussion on the Pacific Railroad bill was continued from the time our report closed until adjournment. In tHe Hovsg, the Indian Appropriation bill was considered in Committee of the Whole, and after a lengthy debate, the committee rose without having taken any action thereon. Mr. Jones, of Tenn., asked leave to intro- duce a reselution inquiring under what thority the Aepiese d of Agriculture had been called together in this city; objected to. Adjourned. Preceedings ef Te-Day. In tHE Senate, to-day, Mr. Seward offered a resolution calling on the President for recent correspondence between this Government and Great Britain in regard to the African slave trade; adopted. A resolution was adopted calling on the Post- master General for a copy of the contract with John Butterfield & Co., for carrying the over- land mail. Mr. Slidell moved that when the Senate ad- journ it be to meet on Monday; carried. Mr. Iverson moved to take up the private calender; not agreed to. The Senate then proceeded to the considera- tion of the French Spoliation bill. Mr. Davis spoke in favor of the bill until the arrival of the special hour; when Mr. Clay moved to postpone the special or- der and take up the private calender; not agreed to. The Senate then proceeded to the considera- tion of the Pacific Railroad bill. Ix the House, the call of the Committees being resumed, Mr. Blair introduced a bill for the establishment of an assay office in St. Louis. Mr. Stephens announced his roadiness to re- port back the Oregon State bill, and that on Teporting it he will move its immediate consid- eration. He hoped to be able to get it in by next Tuesday, aud expressed his willingness have it discusse A large number of bills were reported by the Committees, chiefly of a private character. Among them we notice the following, viz: By Mr. Hopkins, a bill for the relief of the owners, officers and crew of the brig General Armstrong. By Mr. Phelps, of Mo., a bill making an srerceratee for the repairs of fortifications, c. Mr. Jones, of Tenn., introduced a resolution calling on the Secretary of Interior for infor- mation as to the authority for calling ther, the object, expenses, &o., of the “ Advisory Board of Agriculture,’ now assembled in this city. Mr. Hughes remarked that he had yester- day objected to this resolution, because he did not consider the matter of sufficient import- ance to demand the attention of the House. He thought it clear that the authority to as- semble this board was vested in the Secretary of the lnterisr, by the act making an appro- priation of $78,000 to be placed at the disposal of the Secretary of the Interior for collecting information for the benefit of the agricultural interests of the country. The method of coilecting this information was left to the discretion of the Secretary of the Interior, and this Board is one of the ex- pentane to that end he has seen fit to adopt. ecause the Houss manifested a disposition to institute this inquiry however, and attached more importance to the matter than he had previously supposed, he withdrew his objec- tion to its adoption. Mr. Stephens took the same view of the mat- ter. The resolution was then agreed to. 2108+ - Tue Tx1at or Marion Crores at Towson- Ton.—Considerable progress was made y:s‘er- @ay inthis trial. A large number of witnesses for the State have already beenexamined. Among the most interesting portions of the evidence yesterday was the testimony of Thomas Kennard, as follows: “Tam aclerk in the office of the clerk of the superior court of Baltimore city; bave known Cropps for several years; on the evening of the 5th of November, about 7% o’clock, I sed Geddes and Smith at the corner of Green and Bal- timore streets; | went on to the second pavement past Mr. Rigdon’s house; I saw a man standing on the cellar door as I passed; he spoke to meand beckoned me towards bim; f asked him what he wanted, and he asked me if] had seen some one on that day, but he was drunk and I did not un- d+ rstard bim; I turned f:om the cellar door. and Isaw Marton Cropps standing at the awning- post adjoining Mr Ricdon’s house; the first man who spoke to me I now know was Corrie; Cropps came up to where I was standing and struck me on the breast; he said ‘they have convicted Henry Gambril of murder in the first degree; his friends say what they will do, but I will do more than any cf them will do; I will go inte the court- house woen they bring him out for sentence and take him out of the box,’ Corrie said ‘No, by ’ they shall never hang Hen Gambril;’ I said to Cropps ‘You onght not to talk that way, as that 1s the reason for so many reports being about;’ I stepped off, and Erecre asked me to give him a quarter, and | told bim 4 had none; be then asked me to go inte Bob Rigdou’s houseand ask him to come out; I asked him what he wanted with bim; he said, ‘ Never you mind, you go ia and tell him to come out;’ Corrie said, ‘You go and bring him out on the pavement;’ I turned und to look at Corrie, when Cropps put a pistol at my throat, and commenced to laugh; I caught the pistol in my hand, and told bim to take care what he was about; I told bim Rigdon Was not at home, that he bad better go to the watch-honse or on his beat if he wanted him; Cropps said ‘no, he is in the house talking to old man Batts—telt him to come out;’? I then crossed over the street das | passed I looked over to Rigdon’s house and [ saw an old man standing in tae store, and a woman I took to be Mrs. Rigdon, sitting down; I then crossed back tothem and told Cropps tit Rigdon was not there, and they had better go var ; | then pass- +d on, and, after going a short distance, looked back, and they were both looking in Mrs. Rig- don 8 window, close up to the window; | again looked back, after going a few yards furtber,and ter were four or five yards from the window; I could not tell whether above or below the house; 1 passed on to Mr. Grabam’s, and stopped to get my weekly paper, and remained in conversation with Mr. G:abam from ten to twenty minutes, when I heard the report of a pistol and ran to the door; I then saw Corrie, on the opposite side of the street, running and officers Cook and Hig- gins running after him; when Corrie got to the corner of Pine and Baltimore streets, he turned around the corner and seemed almost exhausted; I then ran down Pine street into German, and on tke corner of Penn and German | found Corrie under arrest; [ then returned to Rigdon’s house, and saw Rigdon lying dead on the floor.
