TP OER THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON CITY: --March 23, 1860. Spirit ef the Merning Press. The Constitution publishes a letter from Prof. Bache, of the U. S. Coast Survey, to Senator Gwin, on the importance of a tel raph to the Pacific; and also descants upon rivalry of Seward and Bates. The Intelligencer \x devoted to Congressional Proceedings and news. ., Democratic Stats Coxvextion.—The Mary- dand Democratic State Convention, in session during the past two days, concluded its labors yesterday harmoniously, and with no little enthu- siasm. Four delegates to represent the State at ‘large in the Charleston Convention were elected. They are unpledged, but the Administration or anti-Douglas wing of the party had an unmis- takeable majority in the Convention. Presidential electors for the State at large, and for the different Congressional districts, were appointed, and the Convention, having finished {ts labors, adjourned. Persenal. ~--- Jobn A.

Norton, Esq., in the case of the appli. cation of Mrs. Charles Barton Hill for a divorce from her husband. The Courier says the case has attracted considerable attention in social circles during the past year. Mr. Charles Barton Hill is known as an actor of considerable merit Mr. Green reported a resolution to pay the widow of the late Senator Linn, of Mo. Eileage not drawn, which was pasted. Telegraphic Ite port. The Albany Statesman ads, the omission to draw his mileage is another evidence of the ab- sence of mind of the late Senator Linn. Several veers ago, when member of the (.8. Senate, a ballot was taken for President pro tem. of that body. On canvassing the ballots. a check drawn that Magna for $500 in favor of Senator Linn for his per diem, was found in the ballot-box. it was returned to the Senator. who, siniling at his forgetfulness, handed to the page his ballot, which he had carefully hid away In his wallet. Tas Mysterious Scuooner Case at New Yorx.—We gather from the New York Evening Post the following further particulars of this case, which we mentioned yesterday “Shortly afler the schooner was discovered by the steamt: Ceres, a small boat was found on Staten Island shore answering the description of the small boat attached to the schooner. Te is be- lleved, beyond doubt, that the murderer made his way toshore in this boat, and abandoning the doat to her fate—leaving her adrift—soughtlo es- cape. It has been ascertained further, that the Patty, landing in the small boat took’a Staten sland boat to this city, and that at 4 p.m. he left the city ina steamer for Stonington. It is said the suspected murderer, after engaging passage on the Stonington steamer, indulged freely in drinking, and boasted of having a lerge suin of money about him, to prove which he insisted on treating all who would drink with him, The afiair has created a tremendous excitement at Islip, where Capt. Burr belonged. Such was the popularity of the captain, and the respect enter- tained for bim and his family, that multitudes of persons have joined in their ciforts to detect the guilty party and bring him to punishment.” Later.—“At 1 o’clock this afternoon (Friday,) it was stated at the Second recinct station-house, that the alleged murderer had been arrested at Stonington, by the two officers who had gone in pursuit of bim. Owing to the telegraphic com- munication this side of Norwich Conn., bein: cut off. no positive information has been receiv: Capt. Weed upon being interrogated regarding tbe matter stated, however, that ‘the murderer would be in New York to-night, no doubt.’ ” The true name of the supposed murderer 1s said te be Samuel Johnson. He shipped on board the G. A. Jobnson under the name of Samuel Clock. He has been one voyage with Capt. Burr, and for his good nature and thorough understanding of the management of a vessel, had ingratiated himself strongly in the captain's good liking. Capt. B. showed his appreciation of him by advancing his pay on the iast voyage. Johnson is 32 years eld, and bas a pleasing, intelligent countenance. As previously reported, he had a wife and child living in this city, whom be took with him on the Stonington boat. His first experience in sea life was shipping on a whaling voyage from New Londen, Conn. He is said tehave a father living in Stonington Tre Case oF Captain Witcher —A Lynch- burg correspondent of the Richmond Dispatch, writing on the 20th inst., says : «The trial of Vincent Witcher, the Principal actor in the great Franklin tragedy, commenced on last Thursday at Franklin county Court-Houre Great interest Is taken in the trial fcanuaes that entire section of country. and a very large crowd Was in attendance, the Court-room being jammed. The trial up to 2 late hour Thursday evening was Progressing slowly, some of the evidence taken heing of a very contlicting nature. It is said that Capt. W. has exhibited great firmness and self- possession throughout his difficulties, and is con- fident of a final acquittal. He will take part in his own defence, and will be assisted by Messrs. James Whittle and Wm. M. Treadway, of Pitt- sylvania. Every effort will be made by the pros- ecntion for his conviction. Cook, of Wytheville, Hughes Pillard and Taliaferro, of Franklin, and our talented Commonwealth's Attorney. Major J. Garland, are the prosecuting attorneys in behalf of the Commenweath.”” Stevens ano Haztert Symra —On the day of the execution of Stevens and Hazlett, a “sympathy meeting’’ was held in the Court House at Ashtabula, Obio. Many of the speakers were heavily armed. and itis said that a tarze ion cf the assembly wore black bands of rib- n about their necks, as a token by which to recognize one another. Among the speakers were John Brown, Jr.,and Owen Brown, sons of Jebn Brown hanged at Harper's Ferry—Coppic, Redpath, and others. Jobn Brown is said to be @ fine effective speaker. His address, on this oc- casion, was mainly a tirade against the President. He said no officer of the Genera] Government dare to go to Ashtabula, tb take any men of his stripe ——_—____ Pruapetrmia M. E. Conrerence.—The Phil- adelphia Conference of the M. F.. Church met on ‘Thursday morning in Philadelphia, when a re- port was received from the Committee on the Di- vision of the Conference. Two plans were sub- imitted,—one to make a second conference of the southern pertion, including the eastern shore of Virginia and Maryland, together with the State of De ware; the cther to make Market street, in that city. the dividing line, and the Pennsylvania Railroad as fara Columbia. The report will be considered early in the ensuing week. Two sets cf slavery resolutions were presented, one of which so amends the rule of the church that men and ‘women can be bought to be Sticwwe.—A widow named Nancy Cantley living near Boone C. H., Va., cominitted sui cide on the Sth inst. She cot up in the morning a8 usual, to get breakfast for herself and children. and was seen by one of her sons to go to a trunk aud take something out and walk out at the door. The young man got upand went out and found his mother lying dead in the yard with her throat cut, and a razor lying beside her.

Piilowonts ob bats WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. —~e— Tse Orera.—La Soxnamsvta.—Patti was Pleasingly original as ‘Amina’? last night, play- ing it after a very winning fashion of her own. The freshness and naturalness imparted by her to this hackneyed role was quickly appreciated by the audience. Her prettily-expressed impatience while receiving the pertinacious attentions of Count Rodolfo, ber anxious glances over her shoulder to see how her lover was taking the affair, and her winning little artifices to reinstate herself in that jealous young gentleman's good opinion, gave great effect to the opening scenes. The audience, however, expressed its approba- tion in an odd sort of way, by calling the pair before the curtain at the end of the act; and their appearance, hand-in-hand, and decked in their best applause-and-boquet-acknowledging smiles, served completely to destroy the illusion of the performance, they being supposed, at that particular juncture, to be hopelessly disunited and plunged in the very depths of despair. Stigelli was excellent as ‘‘Elvino,” his style of voice proving more nearly equal to the part than had been anticipated. Amodio, we hardly need Say, was thoroughly good as “Count Rudolfo.”” Of the other per- formers not much need be said. They had but little to do, and did it. The company, good as it is, needs adequate female support for the prima douna;—as last night, for instance, some one to perform the part of ‘‘Lisa.” The performance on this, the closing night of the season, is one likely to be long remembered by those present. The opera—The Siciliin Ves- pers’’—is one never yet performed in this city— is the latest composition of the most eminent operatic composer of the time, and isto be brought out in astyle of completeness and splendor unusual in this city. The basis of this opera, unlike that of many others, is not merely imaginary or fictitious. The memorable events on which it is founded occurred at Palermg, in Sicily, in 1232, commencing on Easter Monday, at the time of Vespers. That island, together with Naples, was then under the rule of Charles of Anjou, brother of St. Louis, of France, and was garrisoned by French troops, whose insolence and oppression had become in- tolerable to the natives. A conspiracy, fomented in a great degree by John of Procida, a Suabian, was all but ripe when a circumstance took place which ignited the combustible materials and raised a flame that did not go out until 5,000 French, one person only excepted, were mas- sacred. This circumstance was an insult com- mitted by Drochet, a French officer, towards a young lady who had just been married and was passing homeward with her train from church. The insult was instantly avenged by the Sicilians with unsparing ferocity, neither sex nor age being regarded and the churches affording no sanctuary. Charles of Anjoualso lost the country, which fell to the King of Arragon, in Spain. Madame Colson, with whom we are all most sorry to part, will take the part of the Duchess Elena. Stigelli, Fern, and other favorite per- formers will appear, and Marcel Junca, the cele- brated basso, will make his bow toa Washington audience. —. Maryvasp.—But a single district of Maryland is yet to elect delegates to the Charleston Conven- tion—the first district. The delegates elected to represent the State at large are Southern-rights men, strongly opposed to the nomination of Sena- tor Douglas and the consejuent adoption as the future creed of the Democratic party of bis squat- ter-sovereignty tdiosyncracy. That is also the. case with all the other delegates elected from the State, except, possibly, two, who are joint representatives with strong anti-Douglas men from two of the Congressional districts. Though claimed by the Douglasites, we may however say they will in all probability act cordially with their immediate colleagues and the rest of the delegation of the State. If not so inclined. the fact that they represent each but half a single dis- trict will make it impossible that Mr. D. can re- ceive a vote from Maryland of a single district. The first district, which is yet to elect, is an East- ern-shore one—the heaviest slaveholding district in the State, if we remember correctly ; and the party there is as staunchly opposed to Douglasism as anywhere in the South. So hecan have no hope there. —_+___ Nisitinc DeLecates.—During the past week forty or fifty delegates to the Charleston Conven- tion have been in Washington; feeling their way, asit were. This is an old practice, this custom of repairing to the Federal Metropolis after being elected delegates to Democratic national conven- tions to consult with the leading Democratic- party men in public life from different sections of the country as to the best nominations that can be made, ere making up their minds as to the course to be pursued by themselves in the discharge of their duties. ———— Lovisiaxa.—A member of the recent Louisiana Democratic State Convention tells us that if failing to obtain the nomination of Mr. Slidell ut Charles- ton, the Louisiana delegation will probably con- centrate their votes on Vice-President Brecken- ridge. We may add that the chance is now ten to one that he will receive the united vote of Del- aware on the first ballot, and, we think, of Penn- sylvania also. The signs in the political horizon bere peint that way. Paces oF THE House of R¥PRESENTATI To BE Unironmep —A few of the Pages of the House of Representatives have already made their ap pearance on the floor arrayed ina portion of the uniform which it is proposed to have them all shortly adopt. The uniform is to consist of an entire suit of Cadet cloth, with a dark stripe down the pantaloons. This cloth is very service- able, as well as exceedingly neat in appearance. Sie Eee Nort Caro.ina.—We now learn that the del. egates chosen to the Charleston Convention from tie Chowan district of North Carolina, whose predelictions have been unknown (and therefore a question) here for two or three days past, are Hun- ter men beyond peradventure. > ——_ Navat Onper.—Purser E.

Mr. Kennedy presented a memorial from a com- mittee appointed at a meeting of the Association of the fenders of Baltimore in 18/2, setting forth that after a lapse of forty-five years, the muster-rolls show few living, and many of them supported by chasity, and earnestly urging upon Connon that the survivors of the war of ISI? should be placed on the pension roll.

Tue Hovsz, having resolved itself into the Committee of the Whole for the urpose of con- sidering the Private Calendar, at 4 o'clock rose, when several bills were reported and passed under the operation of the previous question. The House then adjourned to Monday next. <0 A Lavon Movement IN Battimons.—A meet- ing of working-men was held at Temperance Temple, Baltimore, last night, (Friday,)at which about 350 persons were present. Francis Galla- Mee Esq., was called to the chair, and John C. Woodruff, Esq., acted as Secretary. After a few remarks from the Chairman, Mr. Alonzo Draper, the editor of the mechanics’ paper at Lynn, made an address, continuing for an hour anda half, in reference to the strike among the workingmen at that and other places in the Rew England States. Mr. J. Frailey offered a Preamble and resolutions of sympathy with the strikers—asserting the right of labor to control the rates for which said lavor is performed, and repudiating any unfair means to obtain their ends. Mr Woodruft’ Proposed a Preamble and resolutions in relation togbe strng- gle between capital and labor, both iscordant elements, producing strikes on the one side and monetary panics on the other. and inviting the workingmen of the United States to send dele- gates toa Convention to meet in Philadelphia on the 4th of July, to discuss and aid in the solution of the means by which the evils complained of would be remedied. Both sets resolutions were adopted, after which, Mr Gal lagher made an address. It was determined to appoint a com mittee for the purpose of collecting funds to aid the enterprise. ee THe Fatuer or WateRs.—A writer, referring to the vastness of the Mississippi river, says: - [t extends 2,100 miles from the frozen regions of the North to the sunny South, and with the Missouri river is 4.500 miles in length. It would reach from New York across the Atlantic ocean, or from France to Turkey and the Caspian Sea. Its aver- Coe depth is 50 feet and its width half a mile he floods are more than a month traveling: from its source to its delta. The trappers can exchange the furs of animais caught by them on the pper Mississippi for the tropical fruits gathered on the banks below. The total value of steamers afloat on the river and its tributaries is more than $60,000,000, numbering 1,600 boats, with more twice the steamboat tonnage of England. It drains an area of 1,200,000 square miles, and washes the shores of twelve powerful States. In one single reservoir at Lake Pepin, between Wisconsin and Minnesota, 2,500 miles from the sea, the navies of the world might safely ride at anchor.”* ee SINGULAR Goon Fortuhe—Gold and Lead in Abundance.—We learn, says the Galem (IIl.) Ad- vertiser, that the following rather Ppeculair combj- nation of circuimstances transpired in this city last week: Mr. James Bennett (a blind man) and Mr Willtam Taylor, as partners in mining, on Thurs- day last, struck a very fine prospect for lead. on ground pelonging to D. A Barrows, on the east side of the river, from which they took out in a short time about 5,000 pounds of the best quality of mineral. The poor men, of course, were greatly elated with their success; and while thus induly- ing themseles. word was brought to Mr. Taylor thata ‘mourning letter” was in the Post Otfice. He hastened hither and found it to be from England, announcing the death of his mother, leaving him a fortune of $20,00. Mr. Taylor is a ropemaker by trade, and lives in Old Town. ee 17 An interesting meeting to promote Dr Hayes’ proposed expedition to the Polar regions was held by the Geographical and statistical So- ciety in New York on Thursday evening. Letters of the most commendatory character were read trom Professors Bache, Guizot. Henry and Gould, and addresses similar in purport were made by Professors Mitchell, Lieber and Stevens, and Mr. E.L. Viele. The ‘prin ripal speech was that of Dr. Hayes himself. A subscription circular bas been proposed, and is now in circulation, and ample funds for the expedition will doubtless be romptly forthcoming. Already ten thousand Sellars have been subscribed. Conression of a MURDERESS —Miss Mary Simpson, who shot and killed Mr. Budd, a farmer in Accomac, has confessed the act, and has made a further confession that Tully Lilliston stood behind her at the time she fired the pistol with a double-barreled gun, threatening to shoot her unlyss she shot Budd. The little boy who was in the house at the time, makes a similar statement, though he has not seen Miss Simpson since she was committed to jail. Lilliston has been com- mitted to jail, and both will be examined on the charge of murder. THe SHoeMaKERs’ Strike —It is estimated that 15,000 shoemakers are engaged in the strike in Massacnusetts and New Jlampshire, and it is sup- posed that work will probably not be resumed until next fall, as there are large stocks of shoes on hand, and a diminished demand for them. If this supposition should prove correct, the sirike will costa loss of over $2,000,000 in wages, be- sides the loss of the manufacturers’ profits and the interest upon their investments. The shoe busj- ness has been overdone in New England. te reer ee re TSR EAT ean, AT THE EATRE ON Monday Nient. “False ones of the past! False ones of the future! Woe to the man who loves you!
