THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON OITY: SATURDAY April 14, 1860. Spee Saat teenie: Spirit of the Morning Press.

New Booxs.—We have received from Messrs. ‘Taylor & Maury, (who has the book for sale.) a copy of “Stories of Inventors and Discoveries in Science and the Useful Arts.’ A book for old and young. By John Timbs, F. S. A.; with illustrations. Harper & Brothers, New York. ‘This work with its well-told biographies, and numerous illustrations, is one of the most in- teresting lately issued from the prolific press o the Harpers. ft Also, from the same, Sewell’s ‘History of the Marly Church,’’ from the first preaching of the Gospel to the Council of Nicea; for the use of young persons. D. Appleton & Co , New Yo This appears to be a very deserving little volum by a lady authoress, written to supply a deside?a- tum in religious literature. Constmption.—Every year some dear friend or telative falls a prey to this dreaded disease, leavi ng us sad or inconsolable for his or her loss. This makes us yield too ready an assent to the common dogmas regarding its incurability. And yet, why should we regard Consumption as incurable? Isit because medicines administered in the usual manner have failed to cure it?) But why, if this be so, not believe the treatment wrong, rather than the disease necessarily fatal? One supposition cuts off from hope, and makes us miserable, while the other cheers and sustains us. Now, we believe that all enlightened physicians look forward to the discovery of a cure for this disease in some new remedy not yet known, or some new method of administering old remedies net yet understood. Were not this so we should entertain little respect for medicine as for science; for to be valuable to mankind, it should relieve suffering and proiong life. We can only judge of the truth of medical theories by the fruits of the Practice which is based upon then:. if that prac- tice is successful, we accept the theory without question; if unsuccessful. we cannot but regard it asafallacy. This brings us to the eonclusion that the common treatment of Consumption and kin- dred maladies of the Lungs is base@ upon a false theory. Certain itis that its practice is not at- tended with any gratifying success, and we are net naturally led to look for some rational change. Sycb a change has recently been made by Dr- Hunter, of New York, in the introduction of the practice by medicated inhalation. The peculiar feature of this practice consists in the direct ap plication of the medicine administered to the diseased surfaces of the air-tubes and cells of the lungs. For this practice Dr. Hunter claims great success, and argues that itis not only more speedy, ieore powerful, and more rational than any other, but attended by less disturbance of the systern. To us it seems at least a practical common-sense practice; and, as such, worthy the attention of all who suffer from these diseases. We are induced to bestow this notice on this subject because Dr. Hunter (the founder of this Practice) is now on a professional visit to our city, and we should not have our invalid friends lose the opportunity they now enjoy of investigating the matter for themselves I~ The Democratic State Convention of Arkan- sas, held on sth April. which appointed delegates to Charleston, adopted, unanimously. the follow. ing resolutions: Resolved, That the Democracy of Arkansas. in convention assembled, feel it incumbent on them t» declare that their preferences among the dis- tinguished statesmen who have been suggested as the standard bearers of our party in the ap- roaching Presidential canvass, is the Hon.

Pryor and Potter, than yesterday, over the belief that a duel between them would cer- tainly take place, which was then ripe; conflict- ing accounts of those facts being in circulation, of course. We continue under the impression that our account of yesterday was correct, so far as we felt at liberty to express that opinion of it, and that the rumors we then discredited were un- true in many particulars. We have now further tosay thatas faras we can learn—and we have had to depend on street accounts of the aifair— after Mr. Pryor’s friend, Mr. Chisman, had re- jected the proposition to tight with bowle-knives of equal weight, (in the open air or in a room with two seconds present on either side, the dis- tance to be four feet and the word to be tossed up for.) Mr. Lander, on Mr. Potter’s behalf, stated that his friend was wholly unaccustomed to duel- ing, or the use of the implements used in it under the code; but that as he was at all times ready to defend his personal honor, if Mr. Pryor chose to attack him in the street or elsewhere, he would attend then and there, on receiving due notice, to defend himself; each party to be armed as he might think best. This being also a barbarous alternative, was of course not acceded to by Mr. Pryor’s second. At that point, it is said, Mr. Lander declared that fully comprehending his duty under the code to be to take his principal's place in the affair, (the latter declining the wea- ‘pons of the code.) he was himself ready to meet Mr. Pryor with any weapons and on any terms the latter might select. That proposition was not acceded to, for there had been no quarrel whatever between Col. Lander and Mr. Pryor. There the affair is understood to have termina- ted. Col. L.. is understoos to have consulted with no one in conducting the negotiations on Mr. Potter’s behalf; and Mr Pryor is understood to have been in Alexandria, and not personally in any way a participant or adviser in the uegotia- tions on hiagside. As the parties to the affair have as yet made no explanations concerning it that we can bear of, we give this explanation for what it is worth only—as being apparently the most reli- able version of the dozen conflicting statements afloat to-day on Pennsylvania avenue. Col. Lan- der is @ native and citizen of Massachusetts, but has spent some years on the extreme western frontier, where he has been professio: ally engaged asa civil en er. Politically, be isa very em- phatic pro-slavery democrat, and the fact that he is the cousin of Mr. Potter’s wife, we take it for xranted, is the reason why he was found acting in the matter in Mr. P.’s behalf. —— OFFICIAL FROM THE CHINesk STEAMER CAN- DINMARRAH.—The Navy Department has received. acommunication from Lieut John M. Brooke advisatory of his arrival at San Francisco in the Japanese steamer Candinmarrah, accompanied by Mr. E. M. keern and nine of the crew of the Fen- nimore Cooper. Lieut. Brooke had designed re- turning to San Francisco in the steamer Powhatan, but on being informed that the Japanese Govern- ment proposed sending a steamer to California, and that they had requested Flag Otticer Tattnall to detail an officer or officers to aid in navigating the vessel, he volunteered to perform that service. Speaking of those on the Candinmarrah, he says that the sailors are fast becoming expert in tue science of navization, and experience will soon render them fully equal to our American sea- meu in this respect. As the Japanese sailors had never encountered such severe gules as were met with during this passage, the management of the vessel was left pretty much inthe hands of the American seamen; but the Japanese displayed great aptness in acquiring the requisite knowl- edge. The otticers are good observers; they rated their chronometers at Yedo, and are particularly familiar with lunar observations. The engineers are very competent; and the watch ofticers, with practice, will acquire skill in their profession. A Japanese of singular ability—Mangero, com- mander of the Concomarrah, is attached to the Candinmarrah. He was wrecked in a junk about eighteen years ago, when he was rescued by Capt Whittield, cf Fairhaven, and taken to the Atlan- tic States, where Le remained six years, acquiring the rudiments of an education. He then cruised in a whaler, and finally visited the gold mines of California. Meeting with success, he proceeded to the Sandwich Islands, where he purchesed a whale-boat, sextant, chronometer, &c.; he took passage inan American ship, but left her in the vicinity of Loo Choo, from whence, accompanied by two other Japanese, he roamed about until eventually he found his way to Yedo. Mangero has translated a considerable portion of Bow- ditch’s Navigator into the Japanese language. He commanded an expedition to the Bonin Islands, when he was disinasted in a typhoon. Mangero seems to have the interest of his country at heart He occupies a difficult position, and is fully aware of the peculiar character of his country and its institutions, and is exceedingly careful not todo anything that would compromise him at home. He says the greatest harmony existed between the Americans and the Japanese through- out the country, and they had experienced the kindest consi tions. ‘The Powhatan was to leave Yedo with the Embassy on the l0th ef February, and Lieut. Brooke writes that he expected to find her at San Francisco on his arrival, but as she had not arrived at that port, he supposes that she has passed on to Panama. - - [COMMUNICATED. Wuat pogs 1t Mean?—The New York Tri- bune, Philadelphia North American, United States Gazette, and other Black Republican jour- nals, have recently attempted to sneer down the pretensions of James Guthrie, of Kentucky, to the Charleston nomination, in so far as they are founded on his claims to the support of the man- ufacturing interests of New England and the Middle States The secret of this extraordinary course on the part of the Opposition journals has at length leaked out in a way that camnot fail to impress the Democratic leaders everywhere with a conti- dence in Mr. Gutbrie's availability. The North American, in an elaborate erticle on the 7th inst., thus lets the cat out of the bag: “* Very vigcrous efforts have been made for some juonths past to bring the iron men into an arrange- ment to accept a certain candidate for the Presi- dency from the Democratic side, on the basis of pledges to be made in favor of the iron interest. Men made of far more yielding substance than iron had the principal part in these exhortations, and the outcropping of their movements and their plans has been seen adozen times in journals hov- ering on the Democratic outskirts. * * * * # “In order to prevent another and worse mis- ne of the people of this State, if a worse is poate e.we bave denounced this Guthrie scheme. t will not get so far as a nomination, probably; if it would, we should have more and eeverer lan- guage to utter.’ So then, there is at least some plausibility in the assertions so confidently made by Mr. Guthrie's friends, that be is really more feared by the Black Republicans than any other man who has been spoken of as a candidate before the Charleston Convention. What his friends have had some ditticulty in establishing, is at length made mani- fest by the indiscreet panic of his political enemies For it is impossible to resist the convi tion that the writer of the above, who isa Prominent high tariff Republican politician in Pennsylvania, has seen the hand-writing on the wall. A Pertinent if not a momentous inquiry here arises :—Shall Democratic hopes gravitate in the same direction as Black Kepublican fears? a DELEGATES ARRIVING.—A large number of de}- ezates to the Charleston Convention ere now here, and, also, 2 much larger delegation of the outside crowd proposing to attend the sitting of the Con- vention. Like the delegates, the latter come from almost every State in the Union. This throng of strangers will probably increase upon us for some days longer. An immense amount of election- eering with reference to the nominations is «f course in progress here. The Douglas headquar- ters during the hours when Congress is in session, is, evidently, the Clerk’s oflice of the House of Representatives. ‘There the Illinois Senator's ad- miring partizans from a distance congregate. That pi Forney sticks, as will thus be seen, to the ortunes of Mr. Douglas, must be rather ralling to the Republicans of the House, who fy electing bim to the clerkship bad no idea whatever that rr ener ere nee REN he would fail to abandon Mr. D. long before the time for making the nominations were made. Nor is it likely that Mr. F .’s position as Douglas's managing man is relished much more by his southern supporters who are around the Capitol: —__.—__- ARRIVAL OF THE GERBMANTOWN.—The U_s. steam sloop-of-war Germantown hes arrived at Norfolk, Va., from the East India squadron.

This, the Picayune Says, isin retaliation for the capture of the Ha- vana co-operating expedition. Fortunately, how- ever, its absurdity would be suiiicient guarantee against the attempt, even if it were possible to carry it into execution. ———_____ Tue Exrecren Heevax any Sayers Ficut— The London correspondent of the New York Herald says that it is the confirmed belief there that this tight will certainly take place, and also that it will come off before the time set namely, the 16th of April, (Monday next.) He says: “The pecuniary interests of the backers of the two men are so great that the ‘mill? wiil be fought, though ft takes place in the parlor of some country inn, with no one present but the parties themselve if a dozen witnesses, and the referee.

The Vice President laid before the Senate a message received from the President of the United States, in compliance with a resolution of the 2d of Fel ry, 1859, requesting copies of any cor- respondence between the Governmentof the United States and that of Prussia on the subject of the compulsory enlistment of American citizens in the army of that kingdom, &c. The President trans- mits a letter from the Secretary of State covering tne required papers. [The correspondence is quite voluminous. and dates back as far as the year 1510. While the Prussian Government bas evinced the most kind and conciliatory disposition in all the individual cases presented to its notice, it does not manifest any desire to surrender the principle involved.) Mr. Sumner, in presenting additional papers supplemental to the memorial of F. B Sanborn for redress for outrages committed against bim by the oflicer executing the precept of the Senate of the United States, quoted from these papers and a letter which he had received from Con- cord, to show that what was said by the Senator from Virginia to the effect that Mr. Sanborn bad been rescued by a mob from the oiicer that ar- rested him was a calumny against the town of Concord; there was no mob there but of kidnap- pers who came to arrest Mr. Sanborn. He asked why it was that Gov. Wise. who professed to have so much information on the subject, should not have been brought before the committee to disclose it; and why such a display ef zeal to arrest northern men who knew nothing of the subject. Mr. Mason observed that the statement was based on correspondence first received with re- gard to the rescue of Mr. Sanborn. He had now received the official return from the oflicer that had made the arrest, and on Monday he purposed to present the question under instructions from the select committee. What had fallen from the Senator in relation to the action of the committee must Lave been from assumption only. Whether Gov Wise has or bas not been summoned by the committee, it was impossible for that Senator to know What had been done would appear cas when the report of the committee was place before the Senate. Mr. Sumner did not profess to have any infor- mation net open to the world through the public press. The papers had stated that the ex-Governor of Virginia had declared that he bad information that rubies would not tempt him to disclose; it did not appear that he had been brought here as had Mr. Hyatt, and as an attempt had been made to bring Mr. . No kidnappers bad been sent to manacle Gov. Wise. as had been dene in the case of Sanborn. 7 As we stated vesterday, the papers were laid on the table with the memorial After the consideration of executive business. the Senate adjourned until Mond: when it understood that Mr. Latham has the floor on Mr Brown’s Territorial resolutions Hovsr.—The House was engaged during all of yesterday in receiving reports from the standing conimittees of that body.

The great evil which has hitherto existed, and still exists. nu the profession, is, that there are no fixed eles fees rexarding either the nature or treatment of Consumption. Physicians of equal reputation and experience, recommend, at one and the same period of the disease, medicines of the mest opposite qualities; and each persists ina daily routine, the insutficiency of which is sus- tained by ail experience It may safely be said, that the most learned and. experienced in the old routine, have accomplished no more than temporary paliration: while the ig- norant and inexperienced | have often hastened the fatal termination by their injadicious ministra- tions. So pregnznt is the very name “Consump- tion” with all that ‘s ter-ible to the invalid, that few icians, imprer ed with the ideaof its in- curabi ity, have the moral courage to inform the patient of his danger until longer concealment is impossible.
