The Union congratulates the country on the intelligence received by the New York Hera/d of the peaceable adjustment of the Paraguay difficulties. ; The Union, speaking of European affairs, says that the attitude of the world at the pres- ent time is more disturbed than it has been for years, and expresses its gratification with the peaceable tenor of the last news. The Union alluding to the State canvass in Kentucky, says, whatever may be the exer- tions of the Opposition, it expects the Demoe- racy of the State to make a clean sweep in August next. The Intelligencer apprehends that the dis- patch of our National legislation too often fails for quite other reasons than an absolute want of time, and those are speeches for buncombe and that litigious style of discussion which has of Iate become too common in the Halls of Congress. —— -— -+mee 10> The farmers on the western end of Long Island, N.

U7 The municipal election in Annapolis, on Monday, resulted in the choice of the whole Dem- ocratic ticket, by an average majority of ten votes. POT We have received from W. D. Shepherd, corner Seventh and D streets, the first number of “The Musical Guest,” containing twelve pages of new music. {> The laborers on the railroad being construc- ted from Vanderbilt's landing across Staten Is- land, have struck from the 11 hour to the 10 hour system. >” The man Hatcher, of whom we spoke sev- eral days ago, as having been arrested in St. Louis, for the murder of a slave girl in New Orleans, and in whose case it was expected that some interesting developments would be made, has been taken to New Orleans on a requisition from the Governor of Louisiana. D7 The alleged fugitive slave Daniel Danger- field, alias Webster. in Philadelphia, was yester- day afternoon discharged by the Commissioner, his identity not having been established. An in- tense excitement prevailed pending the announce- ment of the decision, and as soon as the prisoner was set at liberty he was placed-in a carriage and drawn through the streets by a thousand colored men. 7 In New York, the Historical Society held a very interesting meeting on Tuesday night, when Rev. Drs. Hawks and Osgood, Prof. Green, Hon. Messrs. Bancroft, Folsom, and others, made ad- dresses on the Ninevah marbles, which were af- terwards exhibited to the audience. Measures ‘were also taken to secure an Egyptian collection for that city. U7 In Philadelphia, on Tuesday morning, a little affair occurred which occasioned consider- | able scandal. It appears that the proprietor of a hotel in that vicinity, supposing that his wife was out of town, took his board and bed with another woman. The wife suspecting something wrong, came home at an early hour, and detected her Hiege lord and attempted to shoot him with a re- volver. U7 The body of a female that was. found in a soap box at the Hudson river Railroad depot, Al- Dany, the other day, and was at first supposed to be the body of the missing Mrs. Brannan has been carefully examined by Dr. Armsby, and pro- nounced to be that of an old lady who had been | dead for several years, and had doubtless been packed and shipped for cheap transportation 2s a medical subject. 7” The American State Council of Maryland assembled in Baltimore on Wednesday morning, and passed resolutions re-affirming their unaltera- ble attachment to the principles which have here- tofore characterized the American party, and in- viting the whole body of conservative opposition in all the States of the Union to co-operate with them in selecting delegates to 2 national conven- tion for the nomination of President and Vice President. —— Rervsine ro Take THR OatH.—In the case of Isaac and Spencer, the two slaves charged with murder in Memphis, when the jary were directed t» take the required oath, a member, Mr. W. W. Ritchie, refused to be qualified on the ground that | he was conscientiously opposed to capital punish- | ment. The Court insisted, and the juryman posi- | tively refused to take the oath, whereupon he was committed to prison for thirty days for contempt. I> The New York Tribane learns that a hos- tilemessage has passed between M. G. Hart, Hsq_, and John Clancy, of the Sixth Ward. late Presi- | member of the Senate’s Post Offic: Comnnittee dent of the Board of Aldermen. The cause of the difticulty is an alleged lMbellous attack ina weekly journal. The Honorable Mr. Clancy es the challenged party, claims the choice of wes. pons and place; while the friends of Mr. Hert claim that the Hon. Mr. Clancy is only entitled to | the choice of weapons. The two localities pro- posed are Hoboken and Canada. and it is presumed that as soon as the preliminaries are settled, the duel will be brougiit to a bloody termination!!: Stzampoat B ED.—Four Lices Lost.—The | Steamboat Augusta, Captain Frazer, which left Augusta for Savannah on Friday afternoon last, caught fire when about thirty miles below Augus- ta, and burnt to the water's edge.

This is the result we have predicted from the first, and it demonstrates fully the wisdom of the Administration in ac- companying the commissioner with a naval force adequate to enforce compliance with the demand of this Government. The fleet is now probably on the way home. ciated Press is, we apprehend, correct in an- nouncing im the Northern papets of this morn- ing, that the Government yesterday d@termined to contract for the transportation of the mails now carried between New York and San Fran- cisco via Panama, by the Nicaragua route from and after the 30th of September next, until the end of the fiscal year 1859-60, which expires on Jane 30th, 1860. The law of 1845 authorizes such a contract to be made—not a law of 1835 as a typographical error made us say yester- day. A very large saving to the treasury will result from this change, as well as the solution of the Nicaraguan imbroglio. We may also add with perfect safety, that the prices for traveling to and from Sen Francisco will be reduced one half by the reopening of the Nic- aragua youte. set Lee Tar WaAsutxaton Uxiox.—It is seldom that Sn editor of a newspaper enters upon the dis charge of his duties under circumstances 30 favorable and fiattering as those which sur- round Gen. Bowman in assuming the control of the Washington Union. The Democratic press from all quarters of the country, East, West, North and South, come to us with notices of the most friendly and complimentary char- acter, exhibiting the fact that Gen. Bowman enjoys 2 reputation for honesty, capacity, and consistency which eminently fits him for the responsible trust in which he will soon engage. Gen. Bowman is well known to the people. For twenty-five years he conducted the Bedford (Pa.) Gazette—a paper which always com- manded the confidence and respect of the party—and, during that long period, he ranked among the ablest and best political speakers in the Old Keystone State, always creating great enthusiasm wherever he spoke. When David R. Porter was Governor of Pennsylvania. he nominated Gen. B. Major- General of the 12th Division Pennsylvania Volunteers. Subsequently. Gov. Shunk se- lected him as his Adjutant General, and all remember his efficiency in the organization of the two Pennsylvania regiments for the Mexi- can war, which was applauded by the press and people of all parties; and, when tho Leg- islature of his State offered to vote him a hand- } some sum for his extraordinary services, he Pad Una?

The work of pulling down the unsightly and antiquated buildings which have solong occupied the corner of Bridge and Congress streets, was commenced yesterday.
