The Union, speaking of the “Revival amongst the Filibusters,”” says : “<*The gray-eyed man of destiry’ can now realize the difference between a ‘soldier of for- tune’ and a ‘soldier of the Cross.’ It is certainly apity that the work of regeneration did not commence a little earlier, or at least that the saving ordinances cannot be made to extend to the entire filibuster family, which is now small, and growing smaller by tees. We have too BT observed the workings of sin not to know thatthe General’s conversion is an event of no ordinary importance. The Catholic Church has Teason to be proud of its conquest It has, too, we trust, conferred high political benefits upon the nation.’ The same paper regrets the declination of John Nugent, Esq., to whom the President recently proffered the appointment of Minister to Bogota. The Intelligencer contains its usual interest- ing report and digest of Congressional proceed- ings and news. {7 Sunday evening preaching now in Walnut street Theatre, Philadelphia. {> The Alumni of William and Mary College have resolved to hold their anniversary celebra- tion on the 19th instant, as usual. 7 In the run from Galway to St. Johns, the steamship Circassian was so distressed by the storms that ali her spare spars had to be used for fuel. OG-A portion of the McDonough estate, in New Orleans, has been sold at very advantageous rates, realizing the sum of sixty thousand dollars more than it was appraived at a few months ago. i> Thomas Connery, charged with having Killed his brother in Baltimore, a short time since, has just been brought to that city from New Orleans, where he was arrested. {> The Missouri Democrat of the Ith bas telegraphic dispatches from Kansas, contradict- ing the report that Deputy Marshal Wood had een hanged by “‘Old Brown.’ U> The Mayor of Mobile issued orders on Sat- urday last forthe police to prevent a sparring match advertised to come off that evening at the amphitheater in that city between Heenan and Jones. ————————— 17 Geffard.the new President of the Republic of Hayti, is a man somewhat advanced in years ; bis hairs are gray, and he has the appearance of baving seen a good deal of life. He is at least 50 yearz old. He is nearly black, but still bas some white blood in his veins. i> The Principal of the Seminary at South Hadley, Mass., afterdue deliberation as to the Propriaty of this departure from an “old time,” custom, has decided to give the young ladies un- der his tutelege half an hour more sleep in the morning. —————$——$——______ [> The Havana journals are occupied with the question of the annexation of Cuba to the United States, in connection with the thirty mil- lioa bill and the debates on that subject in the United States Congress. The Prensa de la Ha- bana bas a series of cleverly written articles, moderate in tone. Sa 17 The Trenton papers oppose the bill now before the Legislature of Pennsylvania, ‘‘relative to the Deleware Division Canal Co >” giving that Company the power to constractadam across the Delaware, first securiag the necessary legislation from the State of New Jersey. From the oppo- sition made it seems doubtful that the consent of New Jersey can be obtained. {7 Samuel T. Jones, of the firm of Jones & Watlcox, New York,was arrested a few days since on the requsition of the Governor of Connecticut, on a charge of having defrauded the Colchester Bank of nearly $70,000 while cashier of that in stitution in 1857, causing its insolvency. He was kept in New York by his friends on a writ ofha- cas corpus which is now pending. Svierps oF a JovRNaList.—The Pongbkeep- sie journals announce the suicide of Mr. Jobn F. King, formerly of Kansas, and correspondent of Various journals. No cause Was assigned by him for the act, bul the tone of the letter he last wrote aud the statement of one cf bis friends, leave room for the belief that it was constitutional de- Pression of spirits, aggravated by want of em- ployment. ic Mes. an aged lady, of Columbus, Ohio, a few days since obtained a warrant for the arrest of a mulatto named William Foiley, on the ground that he had destroyed her happivess, by marrying her daughter Mary Ann, a very pretty white girl, making an oath to the etfect thatthe girl was eighteen years of age, when she was but sixteen. The girl, however, ap- pears to be satisfied with her doubtful colored busband. — {> The Eau Claire, Wis , Telegraph tells of @ man, named James Campbell, whose brains were literally knocked out by falling from atree six weeks ago, and who js still alive. This beats the story of the Canada miller, who jerked bis neck back into place after it had been dislocated The Telegraph says he is not only still living, but bas regained all bis faculties, and more too, hav- ing become quite a musician and whistling beau- fully. —<$<—<_______ U7 The Legislature of New York has a bill up to prevent prize-fighting, which Provides that any person in the State who assists in arranging for a fight, whetber it takes Place in the State or out of it, sball suffer imprisonment for one year. If death shail ensue ata fight, the immediate Parties shall be adjudged guilty of manslaughter im the first degree, and all who are Present at it, aiding and abetting, of manslaughter in the third Gegree. {J A convict in the Alton qi.) Penitentiary, ‘was recently sent into bis cell for insubordina- tlon, refusing to give up a knife which he was Suspected to have in his posse: and to give up his clothes to bave them searched, it was re- solved to withhold food from him until he sub- mitted. He swore he would die before he would yield, and accordingly went four days without food, when, becoming exhausted and delirious, the keepers entered bis cell and took the knife, the prisoner being immediately cared for.

WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. Tes Texas Jvvictany ig enor argh every reason to believe that » majority ae members of the House who voted agains impeachment of Judge Joho C. Watrous not long since, are heartily sick of their record on the question, since the remarkable revelations embraced in the speech of Senator Houstor. in advocating the enactment of his bill for the consolidation of the two United States judicial districts of Texas; which embraced, it will be remembered, an additional and stupendous exposure of valid reasons why the conduct of Judge W. should have been investigated by the only tribunal that can law‘ully try him, under the law and constitution. The Texas Papers come to us full of upbraidings against the action of the House in the case, and we can but regret inability to devote sufficient space to the subject in which to spread their comments on the course of tae House in the premises before the House iteelf. That every particle of popular confidence in the court of Judge Watrous has departed from Texs, is very evident. That is not wonderful, when upon an array of testimony such as was per- haps never before exhibited in such a case, Senator Houston felt himself called on to say (from bis seat in the Senate,) of Judge W: rous and the combination in which he and his court were alleged to be engaged— The objects about which this combination was employed have been shown to have been of the Most comprehensive and varied character. But seldom, indeed, has any record of crime offered more convincing proofs cf guilt, or displayed more numerous and more ingenious varieties of transgression than that written inthe history of the Watrous conrpirac Every object that cupidity could devise, or that frand could suggest, seems to have been em- braced In the designs of this stupendous com- ny. It_was its object to plunder the public domain of Texas, to seize upon it by fraud and forgery, and to fasten upon whole communities the most audacious frauds ever sought to be practiced upon State or le. It was its object to deal in fraudulent certifi- cates, and to sustain these dealings by corrupting and seducing the courts, thus adding crime to crime. It bas been seen that the most open prop- sitions of corruption were made, and the tratiic was carried on with the direct countenance and assistance of Judge Watrous, whose agent ex- plored the bar-rooms and groggeries of the State for customers. It was its object to conceal their operations. and expecially to remove them from the action of Texas juries. For this service it has been shown how the machinery of Judge Watrous’s court was employed, and how in that court, the great saitof Phalen ayt. Herman, seeking to sulstan- tiate these worthless certificates, was instituted and removed out of the State in tess than seventy- two hours, and that done ont of term-time. It was his object to plunder private property, and to secure to its members vast bodies of tends in Texas, and to despoil the settlers of their just and hard-earned righis. It was its object to acquire interests in land within the jurisdiction of Jodge Watrons’s court; to further these speculations by the cor- Tupt_use of that court ; and through its Protection to escape responsibility to Texas juries. It was its object to have the Federal court ab- solutely subservient to its designs; and for this purpose servile juries were sought to be selected, and an order made by Judge Watrous to excinde from jury duty citizens of four counties, which couuties embraced the chief portion of the com- pany’s known fieid of operations. It was its object to impose upon the courts a forged muniment of title to a vast estate, and to sustain the forgery by perjured and purchased testimony. The whole history of the forged power of attorney is overwhelming in its evi- dence of the biack and redoubled crime of Judge Watrous and bis confederates, in seeking to sus- tain a forgery of the most monstrous descri tion, by devices of fraud, by bolder acts of br bery, and, at last, by direct suboraation of perjury. It was its object to betray suitors in Judge Watrous’s court, by collusion between the court and counsel, and between opposite counsel, and to divide ont among themselves the gains. It was its object to oppose ail unfriendly par- ties who attempted to sue in the Federal court, and, through the favor of this judge, to practice revenge upon them, to strip them of their rights, and to mock them All these stupendous and vile’ objects wire sought to be accomplished through the sub- serviency of Judze Watrous’s court, and by the aid of the corrupt appliances he P ssessed. The whole conspiracy centered in him; and for the sum of all its wrongful acts he js to be held re- sponsible. Seaton Tuomrson's Spercn.—The speech of this gentleman in the Senate yesterday on the acquisition of Cuba, was one of the most humorous and witty efforts that we have ever listened to from any member of that body. His similtudes were frequent and of a unique order, sufficing to keep his auditors in a con- stant roar of laughter by their quaint original ity. The galleries ot the Senate chamber were crowded during its delivery, and the greatest interest was manifested by the listeners, es is usual on the delivery of a constant stream of keen and brilliant witticiems. We question whether any other speech on the same side of this question will produce equal effect, bow- ever much more argumentative they may be. That it will be generally sought after and eagerly read, there can be no doubt. Tae Go.p Sroon Era Attemptep To Be Reviven.—The opposition newspapers are evidently bent on re-enacting their system of party tactics which distinguished the era of the Charley Ogle-gold-spoon-stori Thus their inventive genius is just now directed to the work of getting up and circulating accusa- tions against the Administration and the Dem. ocratic party faster than they can be answered orexplained away. Those of them in this city engaged in this business, content themselves, for the most part, with sending off bogus ac counts of the proceedings before the various investigating committees of the House now in session. The members of these various com- mittees are under an obligation of secrecy—an obligation of honor. Yet letter writers op- Posed to the Democratic party manage to pro- cure daily lying accounts of alleged testimony rendered before those committees, with just enough truth in them to make it apparent that their versions were designed wholly to the end of deceiving the public in the premises. We presume that at least a hundred such stories concerning alleged testimony before the com- mittee, of which Mr. Sherman is the chairman, have been published in different parts of the country in the course of the last month, not a single one of which is true. The point of interest in their publication is simply its illustration of two facts—first, that some of the opposition members on those committees must be deliberately violating the pledge of per- sonal honor under which they nominally rest, in making the alleged developments of their proceedings to the opposition letter writers; and, next, the proof such publications involve, of the fact that they (the opposition members of such eommittees) are already aware that they can have no hope of making aught for their party by the promulgation of the rec- ord of the testimony being taken before them. Else why resort to the stale trick of the pre- Publication of hearsay and garbled portions of that testimony ? Tae Prorosep Ratroaps Connection — The Senate committee propose so to amend the bill to facilitate the transportation of through Passengers by the great Southwestern line and the great Southern line as to leave a choice of — of es on this side of the Poto- ‘ween Buzzard’s Poiot and a point u the Eastern Branch beyond the Tinie of on city of Washington—east of the Navy Yaid. We are very sure that the selection of the last mentioned point wiil be most disastrous to the interests of the property holders of Washing- ton, whe cannot be expected to Spprove a selection which will build up the value of Prop- erty beyond the city’s limits in the hands of two or three speculators, at their expense ; which selection will also fail entirely to sccom- plish the object for which Congress is really about to legislate on the subject. That is, to expedite the transmission of passengers be- tween the Baltimore depot and the Orange and Alexandria Railroad depot and Aquia Creek. Not a minute of time can be gained if that point be selected—the only possible result being the advancement of the value of lots in the town speculation east of the limits of the Corporation of Washington. The true plan for the interest of this city, as well as for ex- pediting the travel, is to authorize the con- tinuation of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad to Buzzard’s Point for the accommodation of the travel by the great Southwestern Rail- roads, with authority to switch off at a conve- nient point and run by a short branch to the wharf of the great Southwestern mail line at the foot of Sixth strest. Thus the travel by both lines will be equally accommodated, and greater good will result to the future of both the Sixth and Seventh Wards of Washington city. In a New Coaracter.—The intelligent and usually so fair correspondent of the Philadel- phia North American, who rarely condescends to dip his pen in foul water, seems to have got it there of late by mistake, evidently. His mare’s nest is in the fact that the Clerk of the House has actually paid for 130 hairbrushes and combs outof the public funds. Now, there are at least 130 committee rooms, offices, &c., connected with the House, and in each of these, from time immemorial, Uncle Sam has kept a bair-brush and comb hanging for the use of such of the 240 members, and 200 employees of the body, as necessarily frequentthem. The pres- ent Clerk has not seen fit, as desperately as the Treasury is said to be pushed for money, to de- termine that hereafter honorable members must, in the purlieus of the Capitol, seratech their own heads with their own finger nails, ke. Facts and Rowors.—The N. York Herald says that Senator Gwin purposes introducing an amendment to the Army appropriation bill, providing that mounted regiments employed on the frontier shall be posted across the plains to California, and convey the overland letter mail. Thiscan be done by despatching from post to post three or four men each mail; and it will savo the large outlay now paid for the transportation of that mail. The Army bill, which recently passed the Senate, cuts off the brevet pay of Gen. Scott, amounting to near five thousand dollars.

The Senate then, after a short executive ses- sion, adjourned In rae Hovss, the Senate bill authorizing the sale of a lot of ground in Petersburg, Va., was passed. The bill granting public lands to the several States which may provide colleges for the ben- efit of ulture and the mechanics arts, re- turned from the Senate with sundry amend- ments, was, after the amendments were con- curred in, passed. The House then went into Committee of the Whole, and resumed the conside Senate’s amendments to the Indi ation bill. The amendment for transferring the chan; of the Indian bureau from the Interior to the War Department was not agreed to by the com- mittee, and, together with several others pro- posed, was rejected by the Heuse. Adjourned. Preceedings ef Te-Day. In tHe Senare, to-day, Mr. Hunter, from the Finance Committee, reported the execu- tive, legislative, and judicial appropriation bill. Mr. Kennedy, from the Distrist of Columbia Committee, reported a bill authorizing the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company to ex- tend their ‘leds Branch to some point on the Eastern Branch of the Potomac on either of the routes proposed by the Company in their late memorial; laid over. Mr. Wade meved to postpone all prior or- ders, and take up the House Homestead bill. He appealed to all friends of the bill to stand by it until it triumphed or was defeated. The bill was taken up, (yeas 26, nays 23,) and, having been read, Mr. Hunter moved to postpone it and take up the Consular and Dip- lomatie appropriation bill. The vote on this metion standing ycas 28, nays 28, the Vice President decided it in the affirmative—to take up tho appropriation bill. The question recurring on Mr. Pagh’samend- ment to reduce the salaries generally, to abol- ish a part of the offices, and to change the eon- sular system from salaries to fees— Mr. Pugh proceeded to address the Senate at length in favor of the amendment. Mr. Mason replied at length to Mr. Pugh While he agreed with the Senator from Obio that the Consular system should be amended, he thought this was not the time to do it, in connexion with the appropriation bill. He considered it a matter that required careful Tevision by itself. As to the abolishment of diplomatic offices, he thought the Constitution lett that matter to the discretion of the Presi- dent. Is tar House, Mr. English called up the bill regulating postage on newspapers and pe- riodicals. He said reports have been exten- sively circulated by the press that this bill pro- posed to tax newspaper proprietors for postage onexchanges. This he denied. . Mr. E. also explained the provisions of the bill in detail. Pending this matter, the Sergeant-at-Arms made a return of the warrant for the arrest of Mr. John Cassin, of Philadelphia, and an- ahaa the presence of Mr. Cassin in his cus- tody. Mr. Haskin then offered the usual resolution for the arraignment of Mr. Cassin and his in- terrogation; agreed to. Mr. Cassin then answered in writing and under oath, that he had got ready to attend in conformity with the requirements of the In- vestigativg Committee's summons, but was delayed by the severe illness of a near rela- tive; that he had subsequently started to Washington voluntarily, before he was aware of the issuing of the warrant, and was ready now to testity before the Committee, &c. On motion of Mr. George Taylor, of N. Y., Mr. Cassin’s excuse was accepted, and he was discharged from custody. The postage bil! above reforred to was then parsed without amendment—yeas 94, nays 77.

Itis highly probable, had not the British frigate Melbourne touched at Port au Puince, that ei ther Solouqne or his Cabinet Min- istets. or perhaps all of them, would have lost their lives at the hands of the excited populace As it was, the ex-Emperor, his wife and family, had to be escorted through the streets leading to the harbor by a strony force of English marines, accompanied by the British and French Consuls. It was proposed by the crowd to fire the house in which the ex-Ministers were lodged; but President Getfard having issued ascothing proc- lamation, the deposed officials were permitted to go into exile. Soulonque was abont to rent a mansion at Kingston, where his appearance aid- ed perhaps by his cash, bad impressed the white population favorably towards him. SPF ALITY!
