NEW YORK HERALD Sew York, Thursday, August 4, 1849, The New York and Albany Ratlroad—Be ter Late than Never, We give in another columa from one of our corps | of reporter particulars of the first movement to- ward this most desirable, and to the | vitally indispensable undertaking. | ng for us to congratulate ourselves that this work, solong neglected, and respect- which there has been such a shameful lethargy rt of the wealthy owners of real conaty, has been commenced, even at this late day. After ages will searcely ere- dit the faet, that with the Hudson river closed for three months every year, and no means forthe peo- ple of the metropolis of this great country to réach the capital of their own State, the seat of legisla- tion, except by tedious and dangerous routes, occu- pying one or two days, that mo men of wealth ever « forward to make the necessary arrangements to obviate the evil. With a line of rail road, and a magnificent canal, complete from the great Lakes to the city of Al- bany, bringing down all the rich produce of the finest parts of the State to that city, for months in every year we have been without the means of transporting that produce to our own magnificent city. And it has been only when the enterprise, public spirit, and praiseworthy liberality of the city of Boston and the people of Massachusetts have set us an example for which we have had to pay dear indeed,—by draining from us the very life blood of our commerce—carrying off the major part of the rich products of the State, and opening up a direct communication for every branch of commercial enterprise between the whole Northern States of the Union and the great markets of Europe—that our sleepy capitalists and selfish owners of real estate have been alarmed for their own prosperity, and shamed into an act of common justice to the city of New York. But we do not now desire to use reproaches.— ‘The railroad direet from New-York to Albany has been commenced. In one year we trust it will be By that time we shall have half a dozen lines of steamers running direct from this city to every principal port in Europe ; and by the blessing of God, the aid of the Croton water, a sound curren- cy, and a preventive police, we shall then stand a chance of becoming the greatest city on the surface of creation—not excepting Babylon of old—though there is considerable doubt whether we shall ever be able to hold a candle to that city as regards sin and iniquity! This yet remains in the womb of We shall do our best, finished. time. Tue Treary.—After a good deal of backing and filling, the ultras of both parties begin to be afraid sing the Boundary Treaty. We made the nouncement of the double intrigue to defeat That statement roused the good sense of the country, and the consequence has been that the ultras ha een frightened at their purposes, and have backed out “bag and baggage.” The treaty will now be ratified, most likely. this treaty. Tue Morwons.—We have received the two Mor- mon newspapers published at Nauvoo, but Jo Smith ems to take General Bennett's exposés very calm- ly and coolly. ‘The fact is, the Mormons pay not the least attention to him, Jogoes on prophecying, preaching, building the temple, and regulating his empire, as if nothing had happened.

The lat- ter was fitted up in the most imposing manner, and with great good taste. The sermon, which was very appropriate, was delivered by the Rev. Mr. Pise, and gave great satisfaction to all present. Russian Sream Frigate Kaoscuarka.—We learn from the Brussels Globe that the Russian steam frigate Kamschatka, arrived at Dantzic on the 23d May last to carry the King of Prussia to St Peters- burg. The Kamschatka, it will be recollected, was constructed last year in this city, and is the largest steam vessel which has ever penetrated the Baltic. Ter engine is of 600 horse power. All parts of the ship rival each other in elegance, remarks the Globe, and the apartment designed for the king is magnifi- cently decorated.

The rich grazing districts of Putnam, Duchess and Columbia counties would turn their products into our market, which, combined with other advantages and benefits resulting from a sup- ply ofall the necessaries of life, at allseasons of the year, without the hazard of interruption by ice, seem almost in themselves to produce reasons suffi- cient to cause this work to be completed without be lighted with oil for $5 perlamp.

During the progress of the procession which fol- lowed within sight of the line of road for upwards of twenty miles we were received by the cheers, and roanilesataile of gratification of almost every farm house that was passed, and as the sun sank behind the western hills, we approached the consecrated ground in the town of Pawling, Duchess county, nere Gen.

At one o'clock we retired to rest, and when morning dawn- ed, rose with the sun to snuffthe pure bracing air as it descended from the rolling and romantic clifts of Quaker Ridge. In the eastern view rose Cobble Hill, being one of the peaks of the former range; at the north, an immense swell of ground, by some mistake christened “purgatory,” while we, seated in almost an Elysian field, were in view of the hum- ble dwelling that received the lamented Governor Tompkins, when ushered into life, and in the dis- tance, like enchantment to our view, the memora- ble ground covered by the heroes of our revolution in those days when men were true to themselves country.

The Court met pursuant to adjournment, and the minutes of yesterday's proceedings were read by the Judge Advocate. The Jupee Avvocarx then called upon theaccused for his rotest against being tried upon the chi alleged aginst . Dr. Guillow req: that his Lrot ir, it juillou, of Philadelphia, who was acting as his counsel, might be allowed to read it to the Court, which was granted, and the learned, counsel proceeded to read a al rather lengthy but ve and e: ly well writ- ten document, of which the following is an outline :— He protested against ‘upon trialon the charges before the Court, not he any want of confidence in his cause or judges, but because motives and man- ner of the prosecution did not entitle it to countenance. He asseverated his entire innocence, and said he had never on any one occasion exhibited a spirit of insubordination, and with the exception of the facts so misrepresented and tortured as to give birth to these charges, no imputation of any sort had ever been made him. At the time the alleged act of insubordination, he had at once ¢laimed the right of 7 pasa ep iain, the mR aen pparentons ie solicited an investigation, a Court Martial should be convened, but his req’ ‘The statute of 30th April, 1790, prosecutions after two years from the date of an offence, and 2 Cranch Reports, 336, establishes that these courts and these offences are subject to that law. He said he in- voked the shield of the statute of limitation only, because these unrighteous ‘wew brought against him after a sleep of two years @ half, when most of his docu- mentary evidence had been lost on the ill-fated ship Pea- cock, and several of his witnesses were dead. He said he cared not forthe abstract law being in his favor, but he askedthat the overwhelming juities of the case should govern the Court. He said, “Ihave in vain solicited a hearing {at the proper season, in vain made all proper attempts to have these charges wi me, when witnesses were at hand who knew their details, ‘They have been kept back, copies of them refused me for more thanseven months after their date, (I being under suspension in the meanwhile) and finally they are ht to light here only because it hoped they wi smother the charges existin, very court, referred me against Lieut. Wilkes.” 7 7 . He argued furtherthat the charges were all unlawful. The treatises on Courts Martial establish that where a charge is not at first deemed Neen: is trial it shall not be revived in bt prod and Lt. Wilkes had refused to give him a copy of the charges him until nine months after the occurrences. offence had taken place more than two years and @ half since— frequent op- portunities having occurred for trial and repeated solloita. tions having been made for a hearing. He said, committed the offence alledged against me, it placed Lt. Wilkes in this dilemma: he was bound to try me without unreasonable delay, or in default te have sent me home for trial. In defiance, then, of all law he both kept me in the squadron and refused me a trial.” As to the disobedience of the order from the Sec: ofthe Navy, the accused in the protest stated that none such was ever promulgated, nor the specification sa: that the accused had any notice of any such document, The charge, it argued, must fall from the weight ofits ab- surdity, for although “ we read in history of bloody codes set up on high beyond the reach of the subject, so that he may be punished for not obeying their enactments, it has been left for our age of modern improvements to punish an officer for neglecting to obey an order of the very ex- ence of which he was wholly ignorant.” Upon the last charge and specification for “ scandalous conduct in cutting some leaves out of his journal which related en- tirely to private matters,” the counsel of the accused was particularly severe, comparing the conduct of Lieut. Wilkes in preferring this charge on such aground and en- titling it «« scandalous conduct,” with his own protest to the Court when under oath, against producing a letter from the Secretary ofthe Navy which he said contained private matters, and his insisting upon his being allowed only to produce such portion of the said letter as he thought pro- per. The“ hit? was ‘tly fair, because founded upon the testimony of Lieut. Wilkes on Monday, and the oka lel was closely drawn and appeared to chafe hard, being anything but flattering to Lieut. Wilkes or approbatory of the line of conduct he has pursued. The reading of this document excited ote attention from all who heard it, and is highly creditable to Mr. Constant Guillou. The Court was then closed for deliberation, and in half an hour was re-opened, and the Judge Advocate informed Dr. bes that the Court had decided that the protest be overruled. In answer to the usual question, the accused replied nor Guitty to the charges pret . The Provost wasthen directed to call Lt. Ringgold, who was sworn, and the first charge and specifications read to hi I was Lieutenant commanding the brig Porpoise in xploring squadron. On the arrival of the Porpoise at Sydney, New South Wales, about the 1st December, 1839, I forwarded various requisitions from the various de. partments, with m) plato tothe commander of the Expedition for his ‘Ausl: approval Among them was one from the medical department,from AssistantSui mn Guil- lou, who wasthem medicalofticer of the brig, for medical and hospital stores. On the 3d I sent my clerk, Mr. T. W. Waldron, on board the Vincennes to Lieut. Wilkes, for the requisitions. They were all returned to me approved, with the exception of that from the medical department, upon which was written in pencil mark,an order from Mr. ‘ilkes to Dr. Guillou, or rather an enquiry with regard to certain articles emb1 in the requisition. Among them I remember was a mortar and le mentioned, His note mentioned that these articles could not be provided or furnished until those known to have been in the department were accounted for, that ifthey had been broken or injured from unavoidable accidents, ‘Qrequest for a survey upon them should be made, or words to that effect; thet was the amount, to the best of, my recollection, it was signed with the initials C.W. 1 was, at the time of receiving the requisition, on board the tender Flying Fish, engaged in a survey. 1 immediately directed Mr. Waldron to go on board the Porpoise, deliver the requisition to Dr. Guillou with orders to attend to the directions contained in the note appended to the re- quisition, and to make a request for a survey upon the ar- ticles mentioned. The next day two communications were sent into me, one addressed to the Secretary of the Navy, the other to Lieut.

This Dr. Guillou objected to, or declined. I then re- turned the communications to him, saying that I could not receive them until he obeyed this order, but the moment he did so I would forward those or anyother that might be proper or respectful, with cheerfulness. I then gave him orders tocomply with the previousorders. I think that that evening or the next, certainly, 1 am not sure which, I directed Lieutenant Johnson, who was first Lieutenant of the brig, to direct Dr. Guillou to hand into me the requisition. I again repeated the order on leaving the brig for the Vinceanes. On my return on board shortly afterwards, Mr. Johnson reportedo me that he had delivered the order,and that Dr. Guillou replied that he had no such requisition; this called from me a written order, of which this isa copy (letter A appended to the charges in yesterday’s Herald,) but I be- lieve rt is dated wrong, it should be the 5th instead of the 4th as it is dated.

Mr. Cooper of Pennsylvania hasan indictment against the Secretary of War, and the President is alleged to be particeps criminis concerning some In- dian business, Then Mr. Pendleton of Ohio, has a charge against the Secretary of the Navy respecting the building of a war steamer on Lake Erie.—All these make a very respectable criminal docket, to say nothing of the “concatenation extraordinary” of Mr. Botts, upon which he intends to found his im- peachment. Mr. Proffit thought this morning that the docket had better be cleared. So Mr. Cooper's charges and specifications were called up, and Mr. Cushing made a most able und conclusive speech in defence of the Executive. At the expiration of the morning hour, the bill for the reorganization of the With knew nothing whatever. The witness was then questioned by the accused's counsel. ‘The following is the substance of his replies :— The requisition was without an envelope; I gave it to my clerk, Mr. Waldron, with directions to hand it to Dr. Guillou, ‘The requisition came to me in an envelope from Dr. Guillou, who was very particular in forwarding his papers that way; I do not remember to whom it was di- rected, whether to me or Lieutenant Wilkes.

To the best of my recollection thi was enveloped with the other of the various to the commander of the expedition, cer of the day, who would dispatch a boat with them in the usual manner. J think it is very likely I enclosed the envelope with Dr. Guillow’s requisition to Lieutenant Wilkes. I had not anchored ten minutes before I went on board the Vincennes and reported my arrival. This was previous to the requisition being sent. The Porpoise arrived at Sydney I think on the 30th of November, or the Ast of December, 1839, to the best of my recollection, and departed on the goons} of the 26th of December. Dr. Guillou, I think, sometimes addressed his requisitions to the surgeon of the Vincennes—the fleet surgeon—but I cannot speak positively. They may have been enveloped to me and contained in an envelope tothe fleet surgeon be- sides ; 1 am not certain. Ido not know where the original requisition for the cruise can be seen. I do not remember any other articles that were objected to in the requisition, than the mortar and pestle. I think the two communica- tions which Dr. Guillou handed to me, and I returned to him, referred to the su: mcy of the brig, but I have not adistinct recollection. | think it is likely I should recog- nise them if | saw them, but I cannot say ; I am doubtful about it. I declined transmitting those papers until the Doctor had obeyed the legal, and as I considered a reason- able order of his commanding officer. 1 did not consider is it inte: tobe. It is of no consequence, how- ever, for the Senate ismuch in arrear, and the House being able to run through business with railroad be ,,if necessary, can be ready to adjouru on any ny with a week’s notice. Her arious contradictory rumors are in circulation Tespecting the purpose of the whigs in the event of a veto upon the tariff bill. It is believed that, it is not seriously intended to adjourn without providing for the bs Sc of the Treasury—that is, by any considerable number of the whigs. A few of the ultra are prepared for any thing, but the more re- flecting will not incur the responsibility which such a course would involve. Perhaps a majority may cling todistribution, but they will nevertheless pro- vide a revenue by imposing a twenty per cent duty; and embracing all articles of eae This would pieldagteater revenue than the bill now before the Senate, even excluding from the Treasury the avails of the public lands. The Secretary of the Treasury has so far reco- vered from hislate severe indisposition asto be able to ride out, and it is understood has this day been Present ata cabinet meeting. It is cvident, how- ever, that a little relaxation from the cares of his perplexing office, is necessary to a complete restora- tion of hishealth. Much anxiety has been felt for his recovery, and it is a source of pleasure to be able to assure the country that he will soon be able to re- sume his arduous duties. the subject matter of those communications improper or pee 0 ST disrespectful; Yonly thought them ilktimed.

We were on as kind terms as two officers could be. I believe we were, however, both vi earnest. Up te the moment of this difficulty with the accused, Dr.Guillou’s conduct had met with my decided bation. His attention was ve- ry strict to his duty. Iam not certain of the contents of of the communication referred to. I think among other things the subject of his appointment as surgeon of the brig was introduced. I don’t remember time or place, but I may have had several conversations with the accused with regard to his promotion. I sought an interview ortwo with the Commander of the Expedition, and urged the appointment of Dr. Guillow very strongly, if it was possil Ie itcould be done. Mr. Wilkes, T inferred from the conversation, had every desire to appoint him, but stated, to the best of my recollection, that he had no authority that I could not expect him to do that which the depai ment didnot do. Further, he replied, that it was a regu. tion or a custom of the department that an assistant sur. geon should perform the duties of surgeon on board that class of vessels. It is a very long time since those conver- sations passed, and ly cannot exactly remember them. I think they arose from my pré some com- munication from the Doctor on the subject » Lieut. Wilkes further stated that he would not make any promises, but that he would do every thing he could, so far as was consistent with his duties, to forward Dr. Guil- lou’s views rs a bp teh fe i United nae] I supposed him then to 0 the pay of surgeon; think these conversations occurred on our Passoge from the Cape de Verd Islands to Rio de Janeiro, or at Janeiro; Ldon’t remember which; it may have been afterwards, Dr. Imes, as t surgeon, succeeded Dr. Guillou, and he was succeeded by Dr. Fox as ity Eee from the Vincennes, in which capacity he had ‘acting in the Vincennes for some time, and was transferred to the brig at San Francisca, continuing to act as surgeon when on the brig.

The The Scene of the Riots—Order believed to be Restored— The Steps taken— Yielding to the Mob in the Destruction of another Building. ‘The riots that for the past two days have so signally disgraced our city, appear to have been brought to a ter- mination by the energetic action of the Mayor and his posse lastnight. The outrogeous conduct of the Irish in the morning, on the SchuyIkill,appears to have awakened the authorities to a true sense of the danger and disgrace of the enacting scenes, and to have induced the city coun- cils to place at the disposal of the Mayor a sum not ex- ceeding $5000, to prepare a police efficient for the peace and quiet of the city. Consequently large numbers of per” sons were appointed special police officers,and armed with heavy maces. These were stationed across the severa; streets leading to the scene of the late outrages of Mon- day night, andto the square in which are standing two of the churches of the blacks, and which it was announced would be the next objects of attack. Across the five or six points leading to these churches, the police officers were stationed, shoulder to shoulder.
