_ EVENING ST ————————— WASHINGTON OITY: TUESDAY.........000+.--- February 1. 1859, ‘Though «Fhe Star” is printed om the P< Aiyinaen- press in use south ef Balti- More, its edition is se large as te require it te be put te press at an early heur, Adver- perth: A ee SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Union, speaking of the decline of pub- lie morals, asks who is ‘responsible. It says that a great party, (reterring to the Republi- cans,) which seeks control of the public ad ministration, proclaims its purpose to obstruct the movement of the public machine, and uses its power, not to throw responsibility upon the majority, but to relieve its own members of obligation to perform their duties of tatives of the people. It asks what else is it, when the Republicans declare their purpose as a party to cripple and embarrass the Ad- ministration, and announce that they assume no responsibility for so doing, than an abjura- tion of their obligations as members of Con- gress. At the door of the Republicans, then; is laid the responsibility of the decline in public morals. The same paper contains an article on Mr. Branch’s report on the Cuba question. The Intelligencer is devoted to Congrec- sional proceedings and news to-day. 7 News from Hayti says that the ebony Em- Peror is ina tight place, though the lack of mil- itary skill on the part of his enemies may save him. His spouse recommended him to Tesigr, whereupon he valiantly attempted to shoot her. iL7 Late advices from Cuba state that the Cu- bans look forward with interest to the advent of Lieut. Gen. Scott in the ever faithful Isle, it be- ing rumored that he intends visitiog them. He ‘Will be well received by all both public men and Private citizens Se 1” Late advices from British Honduras state that the failure of the house of Hyde, Hodge & Co., of London and Belize, bad caused great dis- tress among the mechinics, laborers and mabog any cutters of the colony, as many as two thou- sand of whom had been thrown out of employ- ment: 17 Our dates from Buenos Ayres are to Dec 11. The United States brig Dolphin arrived there Dec. 5. Tne other principal vessels of the Paraguay squadron were at Montevideo, await- ing the arrival of the Sabine. The indications are that Lopez intends to make every hostile de- monstration ; whether to be persisted in toactuzl war, is doubtful. He was also arming and drill- ing troops launching st-amers, storing his mag- azines with munitions of war, and preparing to bar the waters of the Paraguay River with heavy chains. (7 Advices from Parsguzy, through sources unfriendly to the Americans, received from Rio Janeiro, states that Lopez was actively making Preparations for war, in expectation of the failure of negotiations with Mr. Bowlin. A person (name not given) who left Asuncion, Nov. 30, re- Ports that he saw eight or ten thousand troops, in the highest state of discipline, and commanded by French and English officers. He declares, also, that the fort of Humana was perfectly mounted with fine artiliery, and the garrison was composed of the flower of the army. President Lopez was very loud in expressing his determi- nation not to yield to the demands of the Unitea States. He continually declares in the Semana- sio that he would not pay a penny. Steamer Burned esapeake Bay. Oa Friday night, when the Baltimore and Norfolk steamer North Carolina, Capt. Cannon, was off the mouth of the Potomac, about one o’clock, a fire was discovered in one of the state rooms. The engine was stopped and (he pumps and water hose belonging to the boat brought into requisition—but to no purpose. The fire, in its rapid progress, soon reached the bose and cut of the supply of water. The passengers were now aroused from tbeir stumbers—there being twenty-six on board—meking with the crew about seventy souls. The flames spread rapidly through the upper saloon, the whole being in a bieze in what seem- ed but a few minutes efter the-discovery of the fire, but “these moments were improved by arousing the passengers, and bringing them to the lower part of the boat. But few of the pas- sengers on the upper part of the boat saved even theirapparel Tbe ladies rushed out in their night clothes, and there was uo opportunity af- terward to obtain their clothes from the state- rooms. Blankets were, however, obtained f:om the berths and distributed among them. Some of the passengers climbed from the upper deck down to the lower by the stancheons. and duri- g these moments of intense consternation, several lives were very nearly lost. Among the parties who were in the Occupancy of one of the state rooms aft, on the hurricane deck, was Mr. H. Craypon ccompanied by bis wife and infant They succeed-d in getting through the window and prepared to descend to the main deck by means of the stancheons, which Mrs.C. did quite reluctantly, rsisting atthe same time in retaining the babe in her arms. bel ma reaching the lower rail, Mrs. C ain hesitated. when ber husband seized the Little one, hastily wrapped it in a large bianket and threw it into the water. He then jumpea overboard and his wife followed, and usluckil fell upon him, but Mr. G being a determine: man and an excellent swimmer, soon succeeded in placing them in one of the boats and followed after himself. There was scarcely any need of such an adventure, for the officers had made Provision for their safe rescue. All the passengers, and a parlof the crew, being got into boats, and the rest of the crew opena raft which they had constructed, the little feet, connected together by lines, shoved off from the burning steamer, Capt. Cannon’s boat leading the way. They steered for the ligbt-boat, at Smith’s Point, the beil of which cou!d be distinctly heard, though its light could not be seen. So dense int Was the fog that when one or two hundred ards distant even the strong light from the burn- 7, lyase created only # faint glow, and even this was soon lost sight of. The Weather being fectly calm and still, the boats, piloted by ‘apt. Cannon, and guided by the fog bell, pro- ceeded without difficnity, and at five o’c ock reached the light boat. Capt. Heyden, of the light-boat. heard the boats approaching, aud sup- — that some disaster bad eccurred, though be id seen nothing of the fire. He received the shipwrecked people with a kind and earnest welcome, of which they speak most feelingly, and did everything to make them comfortatie The ladies were sheltered and warm. d; and hot coffee, and such otber Provisions as bis resources permitted were promptly Preparcd and supplied, and in the safety aud comparative comfort they had reached, the paxsenzers felt a stron sense of relief and gratiiude. Oa calling the lists of the passenzers and the roll of the crew, it was found that one passenger— the Rev. Mr. Curtis and one of the crew, a colored steward waned Walter, were mixsing.

Facts axp Ruwons.—A correspondent of the I New York News says that “ there is a psinfu rumor flying about which connects the a of one of the leading diplomatists now in ington with an intrigue far more complimen- tary to his successful gallantry than to his morslity. I have the details of this affair de caur which I may give your hereafter.” lt is highly probable that the rumor alluded to is the same that has been “ flying about” here in certain circles for some time past, byt its wnprineipled authors have not been able hith- erto to impose their incredible slander on the attaches of the press. The publication of the alleged ‘‘ details’ will, no doubt, be followed by @ complete vindication of the parties in- volved, and will convince this community at least. of the wickedness of circulating such un- founded rumors as are calculated to destroy private reputation, to the end of satisfying a morbid public taste for scandal. The Secretary of the Treasury has commu- nicated to the Senate an official statement that the er of American vessels engaged in trade with Africa during the last fiseal year was thirty-one, and the total of imports paying duties valued at $1,420,000; and those free val- ued at $972,000. The duties paid amounted to nearly $82,000. It is stated that the report of a caucus hay- ing been held recently at the residence of Judge Douglas, in which the views of Colonel Forney were voted down, &c., is utterly without foun- dation. No such caucus was held; and atleast one of the gentlemen alleged to have been pres- ent was out of town at the time when it is re- ported to have had its session. Still another rumor of the disintegration of the Cabinet has obtained currency, but we place no confidence whatever, in it. although the generally well-posted correspondent of the New York Herald speaks of it as being well authenticated. It assigns to Attorney General Black the seat on the bench of the United States Court in Pennsylvania vacated by Judge Irwin. No person is named as his succesgur in the position he now occupics, but the opinion is expressed that the change is to be followed by a thorough reconstruction of the Cabinet. Among other rumors in circulation here to- day, is one saying that Secretary Cobb is to retire, and that the Hon. Erastus Corning, of New York, is to occupy the position thus to be made vacant. We have been unable, so fur, to trace this rumor to aught but the intermin- able propensity of sojourners here, active in political intrigues. to gossip interminably on such subjects. P.S. On more thorough inquiry, we have Satisfied ourself that this rumoris as unfounded as all of the same class that have been “ float. ing around loose” for the past year. The dis- tant public may rest assured that there is to be no change whatever in the Cabinet, not caused by death, until the end of President Buchanan’s term of office. A Rowianp vor nis Orivern.—The Chicago Herald punishes Senator Douglas with really overwhelming severity in defending those gen- tlemen whom he is understood to have assailed in their personal character with so great bit- terness, in executive session of the Senate on Friday of the week before last. The point of the Herald is, that up to Senator Douglas's de- sertion of the Democratic party a year ago, he had been for twenty years on most intimate terms with Mr. Isaac Cook, postmaster of Chi- cago, whom, on the Friday referred to, he took the liberty of denouncing as being worse than a horse thief. The Hzra/d further shows that Mr. Douglas is more indebted to the constant friendship and liberal pecuniary support of Mr. Cook, than to any other one man living; and, lastly, that Mr. Douglas’s only cause of offence at Mr. Cook, is the fact that the latter refused to sustain him in opposition to the Kansas policy of the Democracy. It seoms that Senator D is most vofortunate in his “‘ splurges,”’ one and ali—in none more #0 thdn in the various results of his effurt to turn Senator Pugh’s little “ miff”’ to his own advantage. No one can read the Chicago Herald’s exposition of bis tormer personal and Political relations with the gentlemen he has seen fit to denounce as worse than horse thieves, without being satisfied that his in- dictment against them was really based wholly on their refusal to throw away their personal and political character to the extent of aban doning the Democratic party for his personal advantage. P.S. The Herald of the 28th says: ‘* Postmaster Cook, of this city, has promptly forwarded to Washington atlidavits refuting ail the charges recently made against him by Sena- tor Douglas. Mr. Cook has preserved copies‘of these affidavits, which will be published in due time, if not read ia the Senate, as we hope they Will be, to show to the world how low a great man can descend in the moral scale.” We understand that these affidavits will show that the only documents bearing the frank of Mr. Douglas, which Postmaster Cook detained in the Chicago post office, were franked and left by him in Chicago to be used by others during his absence from that city, which was in violation of law. The only blame attacha- ble to Mr. Cook in the affair, was on account of his failure to prosecute Mr. Douglas and those assuming the right to post mail matter bearing his frank, fur those misdemeanors. Taz Bouxpany Counxission.—The Interior Department is in receipt of a letter from Jobn H. Clark, Superintendent of the commission to survey and establish the boundaries between the Territories of the United States. He says that the parallel, from which the survey com- mences, bas been fixed approximately, and the party arc now at work on the base line, and he hopes in a few weeks to be uble to advise the Department of the establishment of the initial point and tho tracing and marking of the boun- dary as far as it can be done from the valley of the Rio Grande. On account of the severe weather, the thermometer having for a few Proceding days ranged as low as 36 degrees below freezing point, he fears they will be unable to leaye the valley, and go on the plains where there is ro wood; and as they have no corn for the animals, such a step would be likely to prove disastrous. Mr. Clark urges the necessity of having an armed escort, as the Indians are troublesome and impede the progress of the work greatly. They had made three attacks on him in the valley, and at one time poeseased themselves of his papers, but he managed to recover them again; and he is compelled to leave a large portion of his force to guard the camp and cs- vallado. The letter is dated January 10, 1859. Orders were issued some weeks ago for an es- Cort of troops to join Mr Clark’s party, but they had not yet reached him. A Cantvorsia Cowrest.—Yesterday, the Senate's Committee on Public Lands had un- der consideration the nomination of Mr. Man- deville, to be the Surveyor General of Califor- nia, which is said to have been advocated be- fore them by Senator Gwin and the Hon. Mr. Scott, and opposed by Senator Broderick and the Hon. Mr. McKibben in somewhat heated controversy. Mr. Mandeville’s offence is be- lieved to have been his Opposition to Douglas. ism at home—his devotion to the organization of the Democratic Party as represented in the policy of the National Administration and the Democratic party in the present Congress. Comrinxno.—J.M. Spallock, Haq., bas been Confirmed Marshal for the district of Georgia, alleged want of vigilance in the Wanderer case. ‘Tae Concert to be given to-night by some of the principal artistes of the Uliman Italian Opera Company bids fair to bring together the elaje of the fashionable and musical world.
