The Union ridicules the proposed Forney convention in Pennsylvania, and suggests to the movers of it that it would save time and expense, and be far more honorable, to act at once, and in all things, with the Repulicans. Tt says, however, that if the sore-heads expect to make favorable terms with the Abolitionists, and believe that they can do so only by getting is timely and expressive. The Uniow, in reply to a statement of a Chicago paper, that Messrs. Russell, Majors and Waddell received $56 per cwt. for freight from Kansas to Utah, 1,200 miles, and charged $8 per ewt. to Pike's Peak, about 600 miles, says that the contract rates of freight from Leavenworth to Utah, for the spring and sum- mer months, is $21.60 per ewt., and the rate charged to Pike’s Peak $15 per cwt. That the ordinary price of transporting merchandise from the frontiers to Utah last season was $25 per cwt., the Government getting their trans- portation $3.40 cheaper than individuals; and that rates made by the Quartermaster’s Department for 1858, are less than merchants and others engaged in the Utah trade have been compelled to pay.: The Jutellizencer confesses to a sentiment of gratification on finding, as it supposes, that the President's private judgment in relation to the calling of an extra session, was the same as its own, and regrets that he permitted his sound opinion to be overruled by the adverse views of the six dissenting members of the Cabinet. 17> Ladies in Tolland county, Ct., have con- tributed $260.90 towards the Mount Vernon Fund. IDF On the 16th ult., Mrs. P. Hatcher died in Georgia at the advanced age of 107 years. I~ The Western papers generally are giving very favorable accounts of the growing wheat at this time. 7~ The Richmond City Council have appro- Priated $30,000 to improve the navigation of the James River below Richmond. {J The Providence Meunt Vernon Festival amounted to one thousand and sixty dollars, and the net proceeds to nine hundred dollars. U7" An American has been arrested in Vera Cruz on suspicion of being a spy for Miramon. Jt is alleged that he had $150,000 to bribe the com- snander of the garrison. i> Hon. Joshua R. Giddings repeated, at Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, on Thursday eve- ning, to an audience which two-thirds filled the ‘bullding, his lecture on the trial of John Quincy Adams by the Twenty-seventh Congress. 7 In New Orleans, recently, an affray oc- curred in a ball room, at three o’cloek at night, between Antoine Cambre and Manuel Suarez, in which the latter cut the former across the stomach with = razor, and was, in turn, shot dead by the former. New Mvsic.—Joha F. Ellis, 306 Penn. avenue, has just published and sent to usa capital song— “Pm thinking of the Annie,’’—by D. 8. Gallaher, of Washington city; music by Prof. Wm. Witb- ers. Also, “Spring time Polka,”’—composed by A. J. Farner, Esq; and ‘Crows in the Garden,”"— ® good comic song. >> The Odd Fellows of Cincinnati intend to celebrate by a parade and an oration the approach- ing fortieth anniversary of the establishment ofthe Order in the United States. The day for the fes- tival isthe 26th of April. The oration will be Pronounced by the Rev. Dr. Jas. McCabe, of Baltimore. i[7" Judge Bell has introduced into the Senate of Pennsylvania a bill providing for the State to collect as State taxes the amount of interest any municipality may owe on its bonds when it ne- glects to impose the necessary taxation to pay it. This is proposed as the best remedy against repu- diation that can be devised. Up An Old Line Whig mecting was held in Hope Chapel, New York, on Thursday eveniny. It was addressed by Ex-Governor Hunt on ‘The political signs of the times,” and the names of Edward Everett, John J. Crittenden, and General Wintield Scott were spoken of in connection with the Presidency. > The Railroad Convention tn Columbus, Ohio, adopted their time table on Thursday. The time between New York aml Cincinnati is te be thirty-six hours, and between New York and Chi- cago, forty hours. The hours of starting from New York are 7 a. m., and 6 Pp. m.. by the Cam- den and Amboy and the New Jersey roads. 17 tn the bank robbery case in Baltimore. in which William Thetford and William Ba- ker were indicted for the larceny of $1,000, ta- ken from the counter of the Farmer’sand Mechan- ie’s Bank.

Collector at Baltimore, has re- ceived from the State Departinent two handsome to be presented with the warmest thanks of the British Government, to Capt. Cald- well and Mr. R. Barclay, chief mate. of the ship Flora McDonald, of that port, for rescuing the crew of the British ship Jane Black, of Limer- ick, inthe month of May last. The telescopes are accompanied by a copy of the cordial note of | Lord Napier to Secretary Cass on the subject. pasate sapeities (Sates tnanin) I7~ The Catholic Mirror iearns from an official source. that the Rev. James Duggan has been ap- pointed Bishop of Chicago; Rev. Father Thomas Grace, O. P., of Memphis, has been promoted to the See of St. Paul, Minnesota; Rev. Father Jamés ‘Whelan, O. P., of Somerset, Ohio, has been ap Pointed Coadjutor to the Bishop of Nashville. He ‘was recently Provincial to the Order. Very Rev. Father James O’Gormon, Prior of the Trappist Monastery, near Dubuque, is created Vicar Apos- tolic of Nebraska. 17 In New York, on Thursday morning. the inmates of a boarding house kept by Mrs. Beeth- am, corner of Ith street and 4th avenue, were all Poisoned, as is supposed by the coffee drank at breakfast. Mrs. Beetham has since died, and the rest of the family, some 12 or 14 in number, are more or less ly ilk. Whether some drug ‘was put in the coffee designedly or otherwise or whether the fluid was poisoned from being err in Sate mite and allowed to remain during the previous a night, remains to be as- contal eae IP We have received from Mesars Taylor & Maury “The American Home Garden,” being principles and rules for the culture of vegetables. fruits, flowers, and shrubbery, to which are added brief notes on farm crops, with a table of their ay- erage product and chemical constituents, by Alex. ander Watson: Harper & Brothers, New York. This volume appears to be an indispensable manual for both practical and amateur horticulturists. Also, from the same, ‘Three Visits to M: car” during the years 1853-51-55, including a visit to the Capital, with notices of the natural history of the country and of the present civiliza- ton of ing People, by ‘Rev. Wm. Ellis, author of esearches; ‘Illustrated WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. Arrairs or tne Post Orrice Leeafoner In the present emergency, the lac ap- Propriation will be treated just as deficiencies in appropriations have aged, we In eo di for the current year is really aif that will re- quire to be provided for; as the pa; for the first quarter’s service of next year would not ordinarily be madeuntil within afew days of the meeting of tho next Congress, and Con- gress may be called together a week or two earlier or the payment may be delayed a few days. In order to enable contractors to per- form their part of the service, notwithstanding the failure of the Government to pay them at the usual periods, it may be necessary for them to borrow money. This, however, is their business and not that of the Postmaster General; and it is supposed they will proceed just as they have been doing, when unable to wait for their money until they could obtain it from the Government. That practice has been to negotiate loans on drafts given by the con- tractors against the Department, and the fol- lowing quotation from the “ annual advertise- ment inviting proposals for carrying the mails,’ explains the character of the drafts with sufficient clearness : “The Auditor of the Treasury for the Post Office Department has found so much inconvenience, tink, and expense to result from the practice of contractors in making drafts on their pay in ad- vance of the quarterly settlements, that he has been compelled to adopt the following regulation, to which he will rigidly adhere. and of which con- tractors and ail concerned will take notice : ‘**But one draft for the pay on ench route id quarter will be paid or filed for payment in this office. ‘This draft shonid state on its face that it is the only one for the quarter and the route (both to be specified) on which it is drawn; and the sig- nature thereto should be attested by the postmaster at the place where it may be drawn, and one other witness, and cach assignment thereof should be at- tested by two witnesses.’ “‘Itwill be perceived that a draft so drawn can only be received and filed in the office by cour- tesy of the Auditor; it cannot be accepted a8 busi- ness pa is usually accepted, and imposes no obligation, and raises no claim on the United States, except to pay the amount at the pro; time, or so much as may be due the drawer on the quarter named, and no other. But if the whole amount due the contractor be not sutlicient to meet the draft, it cannot be surrendered, but, though a portion only be paid, it must remain in the office as a ‘‘voucher’’ for the payment, as the law requires of all vouchers.”* By the regulation of the Auditor alluded to in the above, it will be observed that the as- signee of the draft—the party loansing money to the contractor—is guarded against fraud, and has good security for his loan, in the draft. In such a contingency as now exists, when the number of these drafts will be greatly increased, some modification of their form, to more effec- tively guard against fraud, may be adopted; but we are confident nothing in the shape of certificates of indebtedness will be issued by the Department. They are not necessary even were they legal; while this plan, which is wholly in accordance with the strictest con- construction of the laws, and has heretofore been practiced, is entirely adequate to meet the wants of the case. aie Ee Rasrp.—Mr. Forney’s Press is perfectly rabid over the action of the recent Pennsylvania Democratic State Convention in endorsing the National Administration and virtually denoun- cing the State administration of Gov. Packer— &@ sympathiser with political Forneyism. It arraigns the convention as being composed of a terrible set of ogres, wholly destitute of political or any other principle whatever; the President, as being the most faithless and detestable man that ever lived, and his official sins of omission and commission as being the heaviest accumu- lation of wrong-doings conceivable. The Press isina dreadful way—is griped most awfully. We advise the Press to take a huge dose of castor oil and turpentine without delay; else, | there is imminent danger that it may go off | suddenly of the overload of bile upon its so irri- | tablestomach. Its remedy for the terrible state | of affairs in the Democratic party of Pennsyl- vania, as illustrated by the shocking action of the convention in standing by James Buchanan rather than by John W. Forney, is a prompt convocation of a sore-headed and fishy Demo- cratic convention, to be composed, of course, of disappointed office-seekers (cither for them- selves or others) from the present National Ad- ministration. It is frecly asserted here that Senator Doug- las has advised Mr. Forney to exay to con- voke such an assemblage, though friends of his among us vehemently proclaim that he has washed his hands of Mr. Forney and his polit- ical schemes for strengthening the Republican party in advance of the approaching Presiden- | tial election. Mr. Forney’s sore-headed and fishy convention will doubtless be held, as it is the interest of the Republican party of Penn- | sylvania, for whom he acts, to gather it to- | gether. Its proceedings will do good by at | ence opening the eyes of all the public to the fact that those of Penusylyania who deserted the Democratic party in company with Mr. Forney, are to @ man, personally disappointed about office or something of the sort. = Tar Fort Bextox Wacox Koap.—We men- tioned some days ago, that an expedition would start from this city, at an early day, under the command of Lieut. John Mullam, of the 24 Artillery, to construct a military wagon road from Fort Benton, on the Missouri, to Fort Walla Walla, on the Columbia river. We now learn that Lieut. M. has already gone forward to the frontier to complete his arrangements for the undertaking, and he will shortly be fol- lowed by the following gentlemen appointed to assist him: Messrs. A. M. Engel and T. H. Kolecki, Topographers ; C. Howard, Civil En- | gineer; G. C. Taliaferro, John A. Smith, W. Johnston, and Dr. J. A. Mullan, Assistants ; and C. Spangler, Wagon Master. Se EIS Lavyen or A Gux-Boat.—Captain Dornin, commandant of the Norfolk navy-yard, was in the city this morning. He reports that on Wed- nesday last the new gun-boat, No. 4, (not yet named,) was launched from that yard. This vessel isa screw steamer of about 1,000 tons burthen, 200 feet long on the deck, 33 feet breadth of beam, 16 feet depth of hold, and 13 feet draft. She is enleulated to mount two eleven-ineh guns and four thirty-two pounders. She is one of seven authorized to be built for the Navy by an act passed by Congress June 12, 1858. ee A Repry.—It is stated, on good authority, that another letter may be shortly expected from the veteran Commodore Stewart, of the Navy, on the subject of the gun-boat expedi- tion planned by President Jefferson for the ac- quisition of Cuba, as he alleges. It is said that Com. S. will, on this occasion, support his as- sertions by references to correspondence on the subject. His communication will be an answer to denials of his recent statements in connec- tion with this subject, and will most likely “ppear in the New York Journal of Com- merce. —_e——..

Ingle, former disbursing agent for the company, will accompany the expedition as far as St. Joseph. — +o Foryer’s Coxventiox.—The Pennsylva- nian publishes an exposé of the political ante cedents of all the signers of the call for For- ney’s proposed bogus Democratic Pennsylvania Convention, every mother’s son of whom, not an employé in the Press office, proves to be disappointed about office from the Democratic party, or members of Know Nothing lodges, or voters and speakers in behalf of the Repub- lican party in the last election. steeper nee A Nomrxattox.—The Democratic Convention that met at Marion, Smythe county, Virginia, on Wednesday last, nominated Col. Benjamin Rush Floyd, of Wythe county, as their candi- date for Congress from that district, recently represented by Judge George W. Hopkins. Col. Floyd is a gentleman of high character, fine mind, and great experience. His election, we are happy to add, is certain. Tue Frencu in Nicanagua.—The Agent for the Associated Press telegraphs from this city the following : “ Private letters from a distinguished source in Paris state that Monsieur Lerapeur, the French ex-Minister of Mexico, will go to Nic: ua, nom- inally in the interest of the ly Canal Company, but really as the Agent of Napoleon, with ence to t securing to French citizens the right to employ Asiatics and African apprentices in mining and agricultural enterprises. —->—-—- Evrorgax Arrairs.—Despatches have been received here from the United States Ministers at London, Paris, Madrid and Vienna, by the late steamer, all of which speak of war in Europe as apparently inevitable. Extensive preparations for the outbreak were in progress, and business was suffering great depression in consequence of the disastrous prospect. Percuean ae Treasurer’s Statexent.—The following is the statement of the Treasurer for the week ending March 2Ist : Receipts... « 1,817,812 32 Drafts Paid 1,153,130 70 Do.

Our City Councils had before them, beeper quite a budget of business in the shape of official communications, memorials, &c., which will ap- pear hereafter. Up to the it time we have no signs of the feel of coal boats which left Cumberland some two or three weeks ago. The detention has beech quite a serious drawback to vessels which have been lying at Ray's dock several 's waiting rs The break on the canal at the Ninety- mile post, which has doubtless caused the delay, has, we learn this morning, been repaired, and it is thonght that the boats will commence arriving in the early part of next week. Chief Superin- tendendent Stone has gone up the line to see that every possible facility is afforded to expedite their age dor wn.
