It costs nothing, and might command a wider AMerican et and better premiums to the Government. Buta loan is not, in our judgment. the most desirable mode of lucreasing the public debt. Would not an issue of Treasury notes, bearing five per cent. interest, or less, be more ous to the people of the country, and better forthe Government? When the loan is made the debt is contracted, and cannot be off, unless ata loss, before the time fixed for its redemption. This was the course pursued by the Government when it purchased such se- eurities at twenty per cent. premium, which en- tallied a loss, aceording to Mr. Benton’s view of the transaction, of $500,000."" The same paper congratulates the country upon the admission of Oregon.

NavaL —At last accounts, the U. 3. steam- frigate Roancke and the sloop Savannah were in the portof Aspinwall, the latter having ar- rived on the Ist iast. The sloop St. Mary’s was waiting at Acapulco the arrival of the steam- frigate Sarauac with her relief crew on board, when she was to sail for Panama; the latter vessel was then to proceed to San Francisco to undergo repairs. The flag-ship Merrimac was at Realjo, and the sloop Decatur at San Juan del Sar. FLicxT oF Sorovgue —The latest news from Hayti records the fight of the Emperor Soloeuqne, from Hayti to Jamaica, ina British vessel of war Bolouque was born a slave and belonged to a Preneh planter. Joining the army at the time of the negro insurrections, near the end of the last century, he gradually rose, until the tide of for- tune made him president of Haytiin 1817. Two years presidency had scarcely expired, when, by & coup d’etat that foreshadowed the more import- ant one of Louis Napoleon, he made himself em- Peror. Gen. Geffard is now the ruler of the new republic. Ce Tar Casz oF AND Congig at Batti- moRE.—Cropp’s Death Warrant Received and Read to Him.—On Saturday, Sberiff Creamer read his death warrant to Marion C-opps. Whilst the warrant was being read, Cropps remained perfectly motionless with his hands clasped, his bead bent down, and his eyes gazing upon the ground. Cropps said that he would die an inno- mocent ian; that it was not himself who fired the shot; that be had his bible to read, and study snd that as God was his jadge, he did not fire the shot. immediately after the reading of the death war- Tent to Cropps, Mr. Wheeler the deputy sheriif of Baltimore county, arrived at the jail with a Oa bringing him into the cells he expressed a desire to see Cropps. and was taken into his cell by Capt. James, when 2 most affecting interview took place between them. Corrie approached rooeps, who rose to meet him, and after a cordia! but Impressive shaking of hands Corrie ad- dressed Cropps in substance as follows : “Well Mal, we bave both got to die and there 41s no use cf concealing our feelings. There is no escape for us, and you should at once commence im earnest to prepare to die right, and to meet your fate like aman. { shall endeavor so to do, and { believe that God will have mercy on my soul. It is will of God that we should both die, and let me entreat you to seek pardon and for- giveness. We can have have no hope for perdon er reprieve on earth, and must look to Heaven for comfort and aid in our unhappy condition. Let us both meet our fate with dcennese and resignation .”’ The tars stood in the eyes of Cropps during this interview, snd he seemed too much etfected to speak, merely indicating his assent to the earnest appeal of his associate in crime. The Cass-Irissari Treaty Ratified. This treaty wus ratified by the Nica:aguan Government on the 17ti ultimo. By it the republic of Nicaragua concedes to the United States and their citizens and Property, the “right of transit between the Atlantic and Pa- cific oceans, through the territories of that repub- ie, or any route of communication, natural or artificial whether by land or water, which may now or hereafter exist or be constructed under the authority of Nicaragua, to be used in the same manner and upon €qual terms by both republ ii and their respective citizens—the republic of Nic- aragua, Lowever.reserving the right ofsovereign- ty over the same.” The United States agree to extend their protec- tion to aii such routes, and to guaranty the neu- trality ofthe same. They aisxo agree to employ their influence with other nations to induce them —— such neutality and protection Nicaragua engazes, also, to establish a free port at each extremity of the transit for merchan- dise and effects ia transitu T «and munitions of war can be carried by the United Siates acroxs this transit.

A Gauat Awenicax Day.—After the Star went to press on : eed admitted as a State into th 7 & the United States by the action of the House ¢ Representatives, the msjority for the Senate’s bill to that end being eleven. Two circum- stances or causes eonspited to that result with great effect. “First, the confidence in the rep- resentations of General Joe Lane enter‘ained by the House. In the course of the day's dis- cussion he was subjected to a severe cross-ex- amination on points bearing on the propriety of the passage of the bill, and the manner in which he sustained himself and the interests ot the people of Oregon committed to his charge throughout it, turned the nicely balanced scale triumphantly in the new State’s favor, as we happento know. Next we may mention the very great speech of Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, the member of the Territories Com- mittee in charge of the bill, perhaps the very ablest and most statesmanlike argument that has so far marked his hitherto remarkable career as a member of the Honse of Represen- tatives of the United States. It is understood that he withdraws from Congress at the termi- nation of the present session, and we congratu- late him that that event has not oecurred until after the delivery of his speech of Saturday, wherein he set forth the true theory of this Government so far as the admission of new members of the Confederacy is concerned, with Perspicacity and cogency of argument such as had not before, in any one similar effort, graced the debates of the Congress of the United States. On all hands we hear his speech spoken of by legislative and other statesmen as being the great effort of Lis public life. We rejoice at the result of the day’s work in the House, because we recognize in the future of the Pacific side of the United States, the ground-work of an American nationality that shall by far overshadow the history of the greatness of any other nation that has ever ex- isted. California has laid the foundation for an Eastern American commerce, out of which, in a quarter of a century, the profits of the commercial interest on the Atlantic side will bo many millions on many millions annually. The Northern Pacific remains still a “ closed sea,” as it were, to American enterprise; yet we know enough of it to be well aware that it bids fair in the future to be equal to the South Pacific and Indian ccean in its sources of profit toourcountrymen. In proportion to the Amer- ican capital invested in its trade, it is perhaps already more profitable to the Atlantic seciion of the Confederacy; and we cannot doubt that any such event as the admission of Oregon as a State, which must tend greatly to solidify the interests and associations of the Pacific side with those of the Atlantic side, will tend greatly to the advancement of its (the North Pacific’s) American commerce. Hon Bensamix Wicoin.—We alluded in Friday’s Star to a leakage in the Executive session, whereby a correspondent of the New York Tribune revealed some proceedings in that body relative to the confirmation of the Hon. Benj. Wiggin, as Commissioner under the Reciprocity Treaty with Great Britain. We have further to remark to-day, that the effort of Senator Hamlin to defeat the confir- mation of Mr. Wiggin, is likely to result in the same manner as other similar attempts have resulted in that body during the present ses- sion. That Senator Hamlin has an ardent desire to compass the defeat of this gentleman may be justly inferred. Asa political apes- tate, with the smell of apostacy fresh upon his garments, he would undoubtedly regard it as @ signal triumph to be able to cut down an honorable gentleman and leading Democrat of his own State, whose energy and ability bave contributed so much to the Demoaratic cause. But Mr. Hamlin is not the man to prefer charges against Democrats He is quite too unfortunate in his position. Once, his will would have had potency; but now, the “glory has departed from Israel.’’ Mr. Wiggin is a gentleman of rare abilities and great political sagacity, and is highly esteemed, not only in New England, but throughout the country, ss a sound Democrat and an honorable man. Nava Exoixeenrs.—The Sccretary of the Navy has ordered First Assistant Engineer George Gideon to repair to Boston and super- intend the construction of the machinery for the new propeller sloop-of-war, of ten feet draft, -now building there. First Assistant Engineer A. Lawton has also been ordered ‘o Boston to superintend the con- struction of the machinery for the propeller Uartford, which is also building at the Navy Yard there. Chief Engineer Jesse Gay is relieved from superintending tho construction of machinery for naval vessels building at Buston. Chief Engineer H. H. Stewart has been ordered to Baltimore, to superintend the con struction of machinery by Murray & Hazle- hurst for the naval vessel building at Norfolk. First Aszistant Engineer Wm. S. Sloan has been ordered to Philadelphia to superintend the construction of machinery for the steamer Laneaster, now building at the navy-yard in that city. Aw Incipent.—Among the pleasing inci- dents of Gen. Lane's reception on Saturday eve, was a visit of a delegation of the Inde- pendent order of the Sons of Malta, of which the Hon. Senator is a member, nearly 500 in number, who called to congratulate him upon the admission of Oregon as one of the United States of America—and we understand that during the hilarity of the evening, a wish was expressed to the Hon. Senator, that he might render as efficient service in forming another “and ocean bound State,”’ as he has already rendered to our Pacific sister just born. Ere midnight a large number of other friends paid their respects to him, and congratulated him in person. Tux Napier Compuimentany BALL.—We advise gentlemen proposing to attend this grand entertainment on Thursday night next to lose no time in entering their names on the subserip- tion book now open at Willards’ Hotel, as the list is being rapidly filled up—so rapidly as that those who delay twenty-four hours will prob- ably find it closed on applying for tickets. The preparations being made are on a far grander seale than were ever before attempted in the Federal Metropolis. The brothers Willard, by the by, have very sensibly availed thomselves of the services of Gautier, the prince of caterers on such occasions now among us. — A Mistaxe.—The ; newspaper paragraph representing Mr. Charles N. Price, Marshal of the Northern district of New York, asa de- faulter, now being published over the country, isa misteke. This morning, we took occasion to inquire at the bureaus of the First Comp- troller and First Auditor of the Treasury, hay- ing charge of his accounts, and find, we nre happy to be able to state, that they are in a condition as satisfactory as those of any other Officer of the Government. Orxcon is already a State of the Union, President Buchanan having this morning signed the Senate bill to that end that passed the House on Saturday. ‘Tae Tanivy.—At their seesion of this morn- ing the Ways and Means Committee did not resume the consideration of the Tariff question as many expected. Mn. Szxaton Huser, as the Star went to press to-day, was engaged in the delivery of a powerful speech against any alteration of the tariff lew of 4857. A large number of mem-| bers of the House were among his audiense and the. galleries were well filled with a crowd of intelligent listeners. He is a great logician and political economist, as all know, and as'to be published, hifspeech of to-day will prob- ably exert a powerful effect on the popular mind. : ‘Tux Wearase.—The report of the weather for this morning is made from the Morse ‘Telegraph line to the Smithsonian [nstitation.

The Revenue resolution of Mr. Bigler being taken up— : Mr. Hunter proceeded to address the Senate thereon. He disagreed with the President and Secretary of abe Treasury in their plans for raising the revenue; he holding it impracticn- ble to raise the amount of revenue required by an increase of the tariff. He thought that a reduction from 24 per cent. to 20 per ecnt., and the taking of tea ang coffee froiw tho free list, would be more likely to accomplish the result desired. He contended that before increasing the tariff a retrenchment of ut least six-and-a-half mil- lion should be made in the expenses of the Post Office Department. He also suggested that some revenue might be derived from the min- eral lands if they were brought into market aud managed © was opposed to disturbing the tariff of 1857 %t present as being unwise and inexpedient. He contended that ad valor rem dutles wore preferable to specific as 9 financial policy. A special message was received from the President, announcing that he had signed the act admitting Oregon as a State of the Union. In tae House, Mr. English, from the Com mittee on Post Offices and Post Roads, reported a bill for establishing certain post routes {One of the routes proposed in this bill is from St. Paul, Minnesota, across the country to the tee, Mr. Jones, of Tenn., said the overland route already provided for, will prove a curse to the country, as the mails are conveyed over it un- dor contracts limited to six years at $600,000 per year, and no benefit is derived from the service.
