SPIRIT OF THE MORNING: PRESS. The Union, in an article entitled ‘ Skeleton Statesmanship,”’ afier speaking of tae natural extent and resources of our counti‘y, and of the narrow-minded policies that have at times prevailed among legisiators in our past history. says: * There are men of miniature vision at. t in our public councils, who would dwarf the Union to the dimensions of 1840 or 1.23; who would confine its operations within the: narrow horizon of their own intellectual vision; who would reduce its army and navy to ‘+ sk eletons:"* who would strip the country itself of the thews and sinews of power. of the flesh and blood of comeliness, and confine and coffin it up forever, an if it were a ghastl jeton of dry bon es. TI would not mercly, like the House of I> 23, leave our domain itself to be occupied and he id by the foreigner. but they would. in the name of econo- my. aba the enterprising pioneers who. with more pablic spirit, go ont to possess and. inhabit it, to the tomahawk and mercies of the s1 tage.” The sutelligencer contains an interes: ing let- ter from its Pavis correspondent, and i gs usual correct report sad digest of Congressio pal pro- ccedings and news. ~s0m- UF The woman whose cwthes are said 20 have been set on fire at New Orleaus by Guo.

They said that they made the acquantance of the lady at the Glen Honwe kept Mr. Thompson, at the foot of the mountain ; that she was the wife of an officer of the American army. who was stationed in Florida, and that. of iring, course, a8 brothers in arms to her husband, they | had offered their services to escort her up the moun- tain.

They sre striving to put up the tolls on coal upon the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, twenty-five cents per ton. As through their virtual control of the interest of the State of Maryland in ihe direction of the canal, they will probably be able to succeed in thet aim, they can thus strike a staggering blow atthe interests of the State of Virgin which is really greater, so far as the future of the Cumberland coal trade is concerned, than that of Maryland. At present the difficulty in the way of the success of Cumberland coal mining operations, is the fact that anthracite coal can be delivered at the great markets on the coast somewhat cheaper. Those engaged in the trade on both sides, are well aware that if twenty-five cents a ton be added to the cost of getting the Cumberland coal to tide water. much of the demand for it at points any con- siderable distance from where i’ first reaches tide water, will be destroyed. Or. in other words, that the proposed increase of the tolls upon it now charged by the Cherapenke and Ohio Canal, will destroy half the present market for it. Virginia is not only vitally interested in sus- | taining the present coal trade of Alexandria, but in the business of the mines themselves. The policy which the managers of the Balti- more and Vhio Railroad aim to carry out in this connection will destroy half Virginia’s | current coal mining business, and the whole of the valuable trade of Alexandria connected with it. The people of Virginia have wit- nessed fur years past the persistent efforts of the authorities of Maryland, acting under the dictation of the managers of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad to destroy the business of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, and, incidentally, to inflict grievous injury on Virginia interests. So long as there remained hope that sober see- ond thought might induce the authorities of Maryland. to stop their suicidal game. Vir- ginia has beca loth to retaliate by resorting to “unfriendly legi=!ation,”’ so far as the interests of the city of Baltimore are concerned. As three-fourths of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail- road are within her limits, she has the lawful right so to legislate with reference to its inter- ests, as to affect them much as the policy of the authorities of Maryland, in the management of the canal, are affecting its interests, and thoze of allin Virginia in any way connected with them. That her people have at length come to the conclusion that the time for com- mencing the work of retaliation has arrived, is evident in the fact that pledges to favor such retaliatory legislation are being exacted from all candidates for seats in the next Virginia Legislature from a considerable portion of the State. Navy Reeister ror 1859.—Tho Navy Re- gister for the current year is just published ; and, like its prececessors, exhibits a complete statement of the condition of that branch of | the public service. We derive from it the fol- lowing items of interest : The clerks, &c.,in the Navy Department are as follows : Secre'| "s Office.-++se0++ Darean of yards ani docks construction, &e | who will sueceed him in that position. Tar Great Fauts Water Fauus’ Case.— We learn that the judge before whom the ques- tion of the propriety of the amount of damages awarded by the jury of landholders to the own- ers of the riparian rights to the water at the Great Falls of the Potomac, was not long since argued, has decided against the verdict, though he has not yet written out his opinion—or. in other words, the grounds of his deeision. This decision will render a second jury-assessment | of the amount the Government should pay for | the use of the water, necessary, under the law. Not Resicxep.—Thomas A.
