SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Union very mach desires to make itself understood by the Intelligencer, on the poatal question, and thcrefore says a few words on that subject, in very plain, direct manner. It says that the Intelligencer acts ah to defeat the postal bill; that their intention ‘was to force the President to call an extra ses- sion before the spring elections, so as to organize the House in their own way, and open the.cam- paign of 1860; and that it has not been three days since the Intelligencer argued that the President should wholly disregard the fact that many of the States would not be represented in the new Congress. The Union argues that the balance of trade against a nation is no sign of its poverty, but that, on the other hand, any given people who are most enterprising and prosperous, are sure to have against them this nominal balance, which really means that they have been active, #agacious, bold, and successful. The Intelligencer publishes and comments favorably upon the speech of the Hon. Wash- ington Hunt, before the Whig general com- mittee of the city of New York, on the 2tth inst. ————<sce-— 17> Shillington sends us No. ‘ Musical Friend.’ 197 A photographer in Pittsburg advertises to take first class portraits for one dime.

The Prosecuting attorney moved for sentence, which was Postponed. He then moved that James Hanna, Snsan Hanna, Isa- bella Bennett, and Maria Hanna, witnesses for the defendant, be arrested for Perjury on thetrial. The court postponed the consideraticn of the motion. The prisoner bore the announcement with great fortitude. se ANOTHER CONTEMPLATED FORAY AGALNST Cuba. The Courrier des Etats Unis claims to have posi- tive, though accidental, information to the cifect that a secret filibustering organization has been matured in Baltimore, the object of which is the capture of Cuba. Ace ording to the information } received, arins, aminunition, and funds have been provided, the latter chiefly in New York city, where also resides the chiefs of the expedition, and whence are issued all instructions and orders. The arms and amununition, and generally the ma- terials of war. are stored in Southern cities. The sebeme ts said to be quite ripe, and the Promoters of it only wait until their agents in Cuba have Prepared for the filibusters an easy access to the Island. The points of embarkation have been agreed upon, and when final instructions arc re- ceived from the coveted island, the &iven for the sailing of the expedition. NB TFET Tus Boarmxe-Hovse Poisoxixc Casz, ix New Yorx.—tIn this case, on Friday, an inquest was held on the body of Mrs. Beetham, the keeper of the house, who died, it is supposed, from the | effects of the poison, put in the coffee at break- fast. The testimony, thus far, indicates a most reckless attempt, on the Part of a servant girl named Margaret Burke, employed in the house, to poison ail the dozen in number —in order to gratify her revenge against the land- lady. The suspicion against her was deemed suf- Scient to warrant her arrest and detention to await the result of the inquisition. Some half dozen Witnesses were examined, and the case was ad- journed until to-day, to give Dr. Doremus time to analyze the contents of the stomach of deceased. Payette Robinson, one of the boarders in the house, died on Friday evening, of the same symp- toms. Dr. Gourley testified that the sickness cf Mr. and Mrs. Robinson was not caused by what they eat at breakfast, but at lanch. Boox Norticxs.—Throagh J. Shi on Building, the publishers, een toe Co., Philadelphia, send us “The Lady of the Isle,’ by Mrs. E. D. E. N.

Prom Taylor & Maury, we have ‘Adam Bede,” by George Eliot, author of “Scenes of Clerical Life,”” a tale, or rather a series of tales originally Published in Blackwood’s Magazine, and which at once stamped the writer as among the most Promising of the rising authors of theday. The hero of the present story is a carpenter, and the heroine & young woman in the samerank of life who works iu a cotton mill and sometimes acts as & preacher of the gospel. The story is altogether one of the healthiest and best of the year. 7 = en Maury, we have also a collec- points iz and about W; ee ‘ WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. : See Tax Hox. J. Guaxcy Joxes.—No other gen- tleman, not even excepting the President, has been more grossly and shamefully slandered and maligned in the course of the past year, | especially by Forney’s Press, th t common all that ‘mendactous pease? ex their that the vemon of the pens to. Mr. Jones was in the way of Forney’s efforts, first to get in the United States Senate; | next to get into the Cabjnet of President Bu- chanan ; and, that-edhemé failing, we ob- tain the editorship of the Washington Union. Hence the virulence with which Forney has pursued his reputation since his departure for Europe. We do not doubt that Forney was at the bottom of all the “charges” alleged against Mr. Jones before the Sherman Inves- tigating Committee; the swift witnesses trumped up by him being notoriously personal enemies of Mr. Jones, because he was believed by them to have spoiled their schemes for fas- tening themselves upon the treasury of the United States, or in office. Their testimony throughout, amounting to nothing whatever, even uncontradicted, has been used by For- ney’s Press, and its allies, to blacken the rep- utation of Mr. Jones, as they would not have dared to use it had he been at home to defend himself, and in so doing to show to the world the extent of their malignity, by proving the flimsy character of their pretexts. We have seen a letter from Mr. Jones, writ- ten by that gentleman just after his reception of the first intelligence concerning the disreputa- ble efforts to injure him mentioned above. He dispozes of the charges so summarily and com- pletely as that we feel justified in publishing what he says on tho subject, though evidently written ouly for the eye of his correspondent. After regretting that zo far he had only been able to glean very imperfect information con- cerning the action of his enemies against him, he adds: “ This ‘ Reading Forge’ concern is all gammon. In the course of tive years they paid me for fees, for strictly professional services, in my office at Reading, for advice, without any reference to contracts, about $200; and this ‘is all I ever had. 1 never made a contract for them with any man living. All the contracts they ever ob- tained they obtained by offering bids and getting them, I suppose, because they were the best bids. I recommended them, however, to every one as a — company, and advised those having work to , to at least invite proposals from them. | never went beyond this. mune of the company told me some titne ago that they were willing pay for the expenses of getting contracts, but coy fs Ae pigesenpe to offer mea price. They were a= le men and knew better. I snppose my enemies Have heard that they had offered to pay for con- tracts, and that 1 had received a small fee or two; and this, in my absence, was enough. | fear them not. You know me, and you know them.”’ We defy any unprejudiced and truth-loving man to read these few brief comments from the pen of Mr. Jones himself upon the accusation against him, who knowing tho testimony, is aware that it proves neither more nor less than what he states, without being convinced of the utter mendacity and falsehood of the efforts to blacken his reputation. —or— Tar Evroveax Wan Quxstioy.—We confess to very little ability to enlighten the Star’s readers upon a prospect of war in Europe. That is, of our own knowledge of the course of events on the other side of the Atlantic. We prefer rather to trust the opinions and views of those who necessarily are better informed on such subjects than we can be, from the na- ture of our engagements. We accordingly transfer to the Star’s columns this afternoon, the following intelligent article from the New York Journal of Commerce : Tue Hore or Peace 1x Evrope.—The retire- ment of Prince Napoleon from the French Cabi- net, and the eminently pacitic tone of the Paris Moniteur, reported in the news by the Nova Sco- tian, have been considered such strong tokens of the Emperor Napoleon's intention not to disturb the peace of rope, that the public funds have risen rapidly, and that at the Paris Bourse par- tienlarly, the bulls were so full of hope that the storm had away. It is well known that Prince Napoleon and his immediate followera were tlecidedly in favor of a war aig 8 and approved the amb{tious designs of Victor Emanuel as well from personal sympath as in consequence of the family connection enich has been recently formed between them. He has been long and unfavorably known as an agitator, and a man of extreme and violent opinions, with- out any claim to ability as a statesman or as a pol- itician. In the early days of the French Republic of Into, he wae one of the leaders of the Mountain or Red Republican party, and was supposed to have joined in several of the intrigues against his cousin, the Prince President. Subsequently, after the Empire was proclaimed, and he was named as successor to the iniperial throne, failing issue di- rect of the present Emperor, he became an ardent nacious of the priv- Imperialist, and exceeding] ileges of an *+imperial highness.” When the Prince Imperial was born, the ardor of his devo- tion to bis cousin was much cooled, and se obnox+ | fous did he make himself by his conduct on sev- 2 al occasions that the Emperor advised him to withdraw and travel for a few months, which ad- | vice he reluctantly followed. ‘The Emperor has | been continually troubled to devise means to kee] | him quiet and Ce gee he He sent him to the Cri- and a ision of the French army, itary commander was brief and far from z' ‘The latest experiment was | tomake him Minister for Algeria aud the Colo- nies, with a voice in the cal prime adviser and friend, E | contributed im no. small he political crisis, and urge the Emperor into a decla- ration of war against Austria. It is true that the Emperor most have shared his views on this latter subject to a great extent. The address of Baron Hubner on New Year's Day; the imperial speech from the throne, and mea to com but his ea ile de Girardin, b dexzree to agzravate the pamphlets which issued from the bureau of M. juart, the Emper most private secreta- ry, clearly that the Emperor either desired to pick a quarrel with Austria, or to make the world believe that he desired todo so. He found, Lowever, that Ew p Was unwilling te admit that he was master of the world, and bow to what- ever tats he might issue. Austria armed herself to resist aggression. England declared her unqual- itied disapproval of war, reprobated any attempt to violate exi treaties, suarply rebuked Sardi- insolent ambition, and prepared to complete her coast defences and largely increase her navy. Prussia and the entire of Germany, assumed an attitude of proximate, if not immediate hostility to the power which menaced Austria in Italy or elsewhere ; and Russia folded her arms, declined politely to take 2 hand in the fight, and resolved to sit down and look on, utterly indifferent ag to which of the two should whip the other—the un- grateful successor of the Cwsars, or the venu successor of the Corsican. Added to this attitude of the nations of Europe, the moneyed men who oie ae Legere yd hari fein oer armmni- ou, and ships. aud armies are prov! and trans- ported, locked their safes, put the keys in their pockets, and shook their heads deprecating! y; and the French po axe subjects of Napoleon— gave the most unmistakable proof from the palace to the cabin, that ce quote the words of the Freach Minister of Interior) + the spirit of the nation has become careless of all but material in- terests.”? ‘Those who are loudest in their denunciations of the policy and past life of Napoleon IIl—who — that he is actuated by honor, justite, truth, or humanity, admit that he is both prudent and ——: and ef more than ordinary itical foresight. However anxious he might to increase his power and extend his influence in Italy at the holes of Austria, could he do so without risk to his present position, and without involving himself in a general European war wherein the feelings of lis own subjects would be against him, he will not push matters to ex tremities, when he finds that he has no support outside of the least influential fon of his arm his hair-brained cousin, and afew political drea: ers like Girardin, and from poor little Sardinia, who wants to te Italy by taking it to her- self. To fight under such circumstances would not pay, and after all, this is the mainspring of Napoleon’s action.

Extsan Warv.—This gentleman, a representative in the last Congress from the city of New York, left Washington to-day on his return to his own home, business of import- ance having detained him among us until this time. No other gentleman in serving the country in Congress fér a single term has made either a more enviable reputation as a legisla- tive statesman, or more and warmer friends among those identified with Washington as business citizens not dependent on the Govern- ment. This is infinitely to his credit, as the confidence of such men is not lightly given, and its possession involves proof that he who achieves it is a sterling man. Few others arc so good judges of the intrinsic character of public men; for none others are so familiar with them of all parties, and from every sec- tion of the United States. No other represen- tative of his length of service in Congress has done more in the way of making his mark on the future of the country than Mr. Ward. Thus, his speeches wero all upon subjects cf substantial public interest, and were legiti- mately delivered. That is, upon questions im- mediately before Congress involving points of moment to the country’s future; and all of which were distinguished by a condensation of much solid information, and by terseness of reasoning from that information, carrying con- viction to the mind of the audilor. Had the last House been entirely composed of gentle- men of equal calibre, there would have been little complaint against its failure to transact business in a business way. asides Facts axp Remons.—lIt is said that Col. Jo Johnson of the Ist Cavalry, and a relative of Minister McLane, left this city Saturday for Mexico, under orders from the government. A correspondent of the St. Louis Repuhli- can, speaking of emigrants to Washington and Oregon attempting to pass over the route of a projected route from Fort Benton to Fort Walla Walla, says: “Phat such a road should be made in develop- ing the country is certain, but that is a matter for future consideration. Truth and justice to emi- yrant forces me tell you that the roud is not there now, and I can tell them when they once get to Fort Benton en route to Walla Walla Valley, the best route for them would be to return to the Mis- souri line, and take the old travel Oregon trail via Fort Hall, Boize, &e.”” Sana geo Tae Britisn Mixister.—Lord Lyons, who is to sueceed Lord Napier as Minister Resident to this Government from Great Britain, and whose arrival was looked for last week, has not reached this city yet, nor has any intelligence been received of his having arrived at Annap- olis, Md., his port of destination.
