_ EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON OITY: MONDAY January 17 1859. ‘eugh “ The Star’ ts printed on the Pei press in use seuth ef Balti- mere, its edition is se large as te require it te be put to press at an early hour, Adver- isements, therefore, should be sentin y 123 +3 @etherwise they may net appear atil the mext day. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Union, speaking of a self-sustaining postal system, says that, as it understands the spirit of the Postmaster General’s report in re- ference to making the Postal Department self-sustaining one, it is not to be received as @ recommendation either of the main policy of rendering the Department self-sustaining. or of the special measures he suggests to that end, as intrinsically expedient or advisable. That he advises Congress how they may carry into effect their policy without himeelf endorsing that policy ashisown. The Uxson thinks that it would be a blind and narrow policy, indeed, to undertake to lop off from this vast system of accommodation to the people all branches of the service which are not individually re- munerative to the Treasury. ; The Intelligencer, in an article entitled “ Political Self-Accusation,” says that if we find the exponents of Democratic opinion com- pelled to deplore the “ excesses of the popu- lace,”’ and to dread the gradual accumulation of power in its hands,’’ we are, perhaps, war- ranted in drawing the inference that there may be some well-founded basis for the apprehen- sions thus confessed. And in illustration of the fact, it quotes at length the recent article in the Union entitled “‘ Written Constitutions —Popular Sovereignty,”’ and one in the Har- risburg Patriot and Union entitled “« Whither are we Drifting.”’ « U7 A committee of merchants of Boston have petitioned the Massachusetts Legislature for tle Tacorporation of a new line of telegraph from that city to Halifax. A a’ iL An order is before the government of Bos- ton to probibit the several horse railroad compa- nies in that city from removing the snow from their tracks whenever there is sufficient snow to make sleighing good. pi OG Mr. Wakeman, a passenger by the over- land mail, reports that the Mexican boundary commissioners had a trunk, containing valuable Papers, stolen from their traveling conveyance, a short distance this side of El Paso a Sieser Sea 17 It is stated that dispatches to the Canadi:n Government were received from Englard pertie last steamer, commanding that her Majesty's award of Ottowa for the seat of goverament of this Province shall be carried out.

The illness and departure of Mr. Parker is the cause of this move- meat. ey ‘Tar Susqusnanna.—The Cecil Democrat says: Steps have been taken at Havre de Grace to ob- tain a fresh appropriation from the Government to complete the work begun last season in clea: - ing out the channel! of the Susquehanna river, bee low Havre de Grace. SS UF It is reported that the ship Margaret Ty- son, which was recently wrecked and all hands lost, on her way from New York to San Francis- co, was at the time of her departure hence in the most dilapidated and unseaworthy condition, so much so that her first mate refused to ge out in her again. ee ee {7 Nicholas Longworth, of Cincinnati, offers to give asilver goblet of the value of one bun- dred dollars, or that sum of money if preferred, for grapes that will be superior to Catawba, for the purposes of wine—the decision of the ques- tion to be left to the Ohio “Vine Growers’ Asso- clation.”? WH Revotction 1x Haytt.—Captain Higgins, of the schooner North Wind, arrived at Boston from Gonaives, reports that a revolution broke out {1 Hayti on the 22d ult., headed by General Jaffard, in which the citizens joined and proclaimed him President. The towns of Aux Cayes and Jacmti and the southern portion of the Island favor the demonstration against the Present government. asa alan te (7 The Chicago Press says that a young lady, now a sewing girl in that city, bas re. ceived a letter from an uncle in New York, stating that herself and two uncles had fallen equal heirs to the comfortable sum of £27,000, 000, or about $135,000,000, by the recent death of an unele at Calcutta, India, where he had accumu- lated his immense fortune in mercanti!e pursuits. — Homictpe at Lavrey.—Mr. Troma Duvall, residing near Laurel, Piince George’s county, baving occasion to chastise one of bis negroes, for some cause, the negro threatened the life of Mr. D. with an axe, when bis master drew a pis- tol, aimed and shot at his arm, but unfortunate- ly missed, striking him in the side, which Proved fatal. BErrer tan Asortion.—In Columbus, Obio’ 8 few nights ago, a package was found on the steps of the Catholic Orphans’ Home. On car- Tying it to the “Sister?” superintending, it was opened and ascertained to contain a beautiful child, and on the bosom of its dress was pinned this inscription : “My name is Emma Frances. I will be four months old on Saturday. ‘The Mother’ will take care of me and clothe me. ‘Take me in” Se U2” A communication in the Boston Traveller states that a gentleman of Boston has made an offer to the Corporation of Harvard College of the sum of $50,000, the income of which Is to be used for the preservation and Agassiz’ wonderful mu- seum; that he refused to have any part of it ex- pended ona building, or in s: aries; and also refuses to bave bis name connected with it. This Jast provision is in order that the rest of the plan, which is absolutely essential, at least so far as the building is concerned, may be carried out by others—perhaps by the State. ———_______ Cavaxs of Scppen Data —Dr Wynne, in one of the lectures on jurisprudence now in pre. gress in the New York Medical College, called the attention of the class to the mistake general- ly prevalent asto the causes of sudden death These were usually attributed, and often by med ical men, either to disease of the heart or brain. whereas sudden deaths from diseases of the baie are rare, those from affections of the beart alone still more rare, while those from afvctions of the heart and lungs are not unusual, and these from diseases of the lungs alone by far the most fre. quent of all. Atrzurt to Poison 4 Wire —T. B Brig- ham, principal of one of the public schools of New York city, buta resident of Norwalk, Conn., bas been arrested ia thelatter place on ach orge of attempting to polson bis wife. The evidence seems to be that about feur weeks ago, and with- in as many days of the birth of a child, the ac- cused administered arsenic to his wife in Mo- Munn’s Elixir, which she was taking at frequent intervals, accerding to the Prescription of Dr. Samuel Lynes, ber physician ; afterwards in oys- ter broth, ebicken-broth and custard; and, Bnaily, in what was luteaded to be a decisive dose, in an apple, Sateen morte was not eaten, but secretly convey, by the wife's mother to . neighbor, who bore it to Dr. Lines for won: tion. On the application of various éhemical tests, about seven grains of arsenic were found in a portion of the apple, which had been roasted afer the insertion of the poison. The risoner Las beea committed to jail at Bridgeport WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. Mr. Gippixes.—Mr. Giddings, of Ohio, got himself into a scrape on Saturday last, in the House Hall, which be will long remember. He essayed an abolition speech out of place—the bill for codifying the revenue laws being under consideration—in which he took the liberty of charging the Democratic party with being in favor of reopening the African slave trade, and demanded that some democratic member should answer—yes or no—whether the charge was true or not. Contrary to his evident ex- pectation, his colleague, Mr. Cox, did give him the categorical answer he demanded, em- phatically denying the truth of his charge, of course. Mr. C. then turned the tables upon his veteran assailant, by demanding to know of him—the probable Republican candidate for Governor of Obio at the next election—whether he does or does not favor negro political equal- ity in his State—a doctrine repudiated by a large wing of his party there, though up to this time vehemently insisted upon by Mr. Giddings himself. Refusing to take a Jeseon from the frankness of Mr. Cox, Mr. G. squirmed, wriggled, and twisted out of his dilemma, by proclaiming that he considered negroes justly entitled to political co-equality with the Democrats'—but expressly declined to say that he also considered them justly entitled to itical coequality with the members of his the Republican party! Repeatedly, Mr. Cox put the question to him, and as often did Mr. Giddings refuse to answer the question; preferring to expose thus glaringly the want of good faith—ingen- uousness—in the twenty odd years history of his career in Congress, by at this late hour de- clining to avow, when such avowal might in- terfere with his prospect for further advance- ment, allegiance to the ism in which he has— from beginning to end—altoge‘her lived,moved and had his political being. Tae Awenican Navy.—In answer toareso- lution of the House of Reprosentatives, calling for the number of officers in the Navy and Ma- rine Corps, the number of employees under charge of the Navy Department, and the num- ber of naval vessels, Secretary Toucey has submitted a statement from which derive the following : In the Navy—Captains, active list, $1, re- served list, 20; commanders, active list, 116, reserved list, 17; lieutenants, active list, 340, reserved list, 36; masters, active list, 20, re- served list, 12; second masters, 1; passed mid- shipmen, none on the active list, reserved list, 2; surgeons, 69; parsed assistant surgeens, 39; assistant surgeons, 39; pureers, 64; chaplains 24; professors of mathematics, 12; chief en gineers, 21; first assistant engineers, 33; second assistant engineers, 23; third assistant engi- neers, 63; midshipmen, 48; acting midship- men, 186, boatswains, 40; gunners, 44; car- penters, 48; sailmakers, 41. In the Marine Corps—Lieutenant colonel, 1; majors, staff, 3; captain, staff, 1; majors, line, 4; captains, line, 13; first lieutenants, 20; second lieutenants, 19. Seamen, Marines, and other employes, un- der charge of the Navy Department—Number of seamen now in the service is that authorized by law, viz: 8,500; marines, including non- commissioned officers, musicians, drummers, fifers, and privates, 1,895; other employes—at Portsmouth, N. H., 580; at Boston, Mass., 1,409; at New York, N.Y . 1,920; at Philadelphia, Pa., 1,096; at Washington, D. C., ; at Nor- folk, V 1,646; at Pensacola, 665; at Mare Island, 350; at Sackett’s Harbor, 2—total, 8,471.

Tax Acquisition or Cuna.—On Saturday, the Democratic members of the Senate assem- bled in caucus, for consideration of the Presi- dent’s recommendation concerning the acqui- sition of Cuba. The sitting was of three or four hours’ duration, and the debate involved, apparently, every phase of the question. The majority expressed themselves favorable to the measure, but there was a great deal of differ- ence of opinion, as to whether a move, in that direction, at this time, would not be prema- ture, and frustrate the very object sought to be attained. It is said, that Mr. Douglas thought there was no danger that the Presi- dent would act precipitately. He was in favor of acquiring Cuba, but preferred to wait the occurrence of an event similar to the Black Warrior affair, and then seize the Island by way of reclamation. This suggestion was not concurred in by most of the other Senators, and itelicited a very animated debate. The result of the consultation was, a determination to favor the recommendation of the President, in general terms, but several Senators refused to commit themselves to any precise methed of action, preferring to be left at liberty to ex- amine the subject more fully.

[Correspondence of the Star } Raeicu,N C., Jan. 13, 1859 The Legislature is still moving along with the business before it, ina quiet, pleasant way, and veryfreefrom all excitement and everything ofthe kind. True, there is a little Sparring now and then, but it passes off very pleasantly, and every man seems to be In good humor, every time you meet him. ul There are some noble spirits in the present Legislature, such for instance as M.W.
