Our Washington Correspondence. Wasninaron, Angust 25, 1850. The Course of the Administration—General Cass and Garibaldi, &c., §¢. The administration has quietly resolved to doa good many things in a quiet way, and without po- sitively having the appearance of making war on the friends of the late President. It wishes to avoid a division in its own ranks, which is,. never- theless, unavoidable ; but which it is desired shoud come gradual, rather as a consequence of events than of any rule of action adopted by the President and his Cabinet. President Fillmore flatters himself, perhaps very judiciously, with the belief that a silent amnesty granted to all political oflenders is more calculated to win him friends than the handing them over to the executioner. A few examples will nevertheless be made of the most daring of the Seward men, not so much from vindictiveness as for the purpose of checking dis- ebedience and disloyalty in others. Oa the whole, the administration of Mr. Fillmore will be distin- pais for tolerance, forbearance and moderation. _he succeeds in settling the slavery question, he will have an ney time of it for the next two years, and at the end of that period surrender the reins to Gen. Scott or Gen. Cass, as the case may be, carrying with him the esteem and regard of all honest men who have watched his course during | @ most critical period of our goverament. My opwion certainly is, that the Senate bills will pass the House; but that for that pu: itis necessary to pass the territorial bill for New Mex- ico first, and then the Texas boundary. Revers- ing that order would be looked upon by the de- mocrats a8 @ want of earnest on the part of the friends of the administration to do their duty by the sures of compromise, and endanger the peansge of the bill.

The result of the late tariff caucuses is a flash in the pon. An attempt was made yesterday to- wards it,§by the propecition of an amendment to the General Approprietion bill, providing that fo- Teign goods shail be rated at the custom houses at their average value at the porte into which they aie brovght—in other words, on the principle of a home valuation in the strictest sense. Let us suppose a specimen of its opzration. A ton of iron in England we will say is worth $25— An advalorem upon that valua- per cent, would bring up the price to come But at Philadelphia, wecording to the home veluation, the same ton of iron ought to be worth $40, and a tarifl of 30 per cent upon that valuation would be equal to a duty of fifty per tion of thirty | cent upoa cold iron under the valuation of the act of 1846. The @ therefore, endinent proposed, upon iron sto raise the tart tweply per cent above the act of 1546. The motion failed, 77 to S1—rather a close vote, when we consider that this important question of protection Was proposed a8 an amendment to an » which it is as irrelev: nt as the bill for th im of California, This would indi: ery strovg party in the House ia favor of increase upon the duties proposed by the act of 1546. Swill, we apprehead there is no possible chance at this session for a modifi- cation of the tarifl, and a very slim prospect this side of the next Presidential election Other attempts are te be made. The foundenes, furnaces, and forges of way paren are suflering. She wante protection, and thé adnnnistration want her support. It is important to have it. Protection isalwhig doctrine; and where the support of a great State depends upon carrying out such a doc- uine, we may rest assured it will not be abandoned. If the tarfl interest and the whig party can be identified a the same th wiil ge farte make Penneyly. whig State, and is exactly what t inistration is after. But never since the days of 82 and South Caro- lina nullification, has there appeared a jw upfavorable for the doctrine of protection aent time.

The two sections will renvain distinet in their interests—separated by their'prejudices and distrust of each other—as distinctly as by Mason and Dixen’s line. The growing powerof the North will reget upon the weakness of the Seuth; and when the South cease to hold the balance of power in the federal government for their security, they will cease to regard it as the exponent of the con- stitution. But we have to deal with the present, and that in itself is quite a sufficient task. The General Appropriation bill wi ably be disposed of on Monday, from the anxiety to get at the slavery bills from the Senate. When they are taken up we shall have something of interest, of great interest and htliness, in the conflict of the diverse elements of the House. There willbe excitement enough; but we hope there may be neither ‘cracked crowns,” nor ‘‘ bloody noses,” nor pistol scenes, nor sittmgs of forty-eight ours duration, nor soyiieg tending to a hurried: ad- ournment te Nashville. concl ‘Wasusnoton, Aug. 25, 1850: ‘The Prospect—The Union Safe Yet--Members of Congress Deserve Censure for their Delay of Bue siness—McKennan and Webster—Ewbank’s Conduct, §c. The Fugitive Slave bill, the last of the noble se- ries of bills for the adjustment of the slavery ques- tion, concocted by the wisest and best patriots in the country, having beem ordered to be engrossed in the Senate, and the Georgia Convention of dis- jionists and fire-eaters, at Macon, haviog turned out a failure, there is ample eause for the friends of the Union, everywhere, to “ breathe freer and deeper,” than the times hitherto have permitted them to d There is now no real danger of the defeat of the Senate adjustment bills inthe House. The “ Wil- mot” cannot be attached to the territorial bills for Utah and New Mexice. The moral force of Mr. ‘Webster’s noble potition, and the geod sense of members of the House, from several of the North- ern States, will be amply sufficient to cause the odious ilmot” to be thrown overboard. This dene, and what is to prevent the South from going inte the support of the (= eee bills which have already passed the Senate ng) upon it, no Southern State will go out of the Union, because California, with her claimed limite, comes into it, nor because Congress refuses to adopt the Misgouri compromise, and run it through the newly acquired territory to the Pacific Ocean. The attachment of the Wilmot proviso to the new territorial bills, and its passage into a law, is the only thing which has been proposed, with eny show of support, that would be calculate to drive a State, or more than one State, into an actof revolution. And, thank God, that cause is averied. ‘The “Wilmot,” with all its infernal mischief and unkindness on its head, is dead, and soon to be buried. A more wicked humbug was never raised for mischievous purposes. But although there is reason to believe that all the adjustment bills will pass the Hoase, yet the menibers of thet body deserve, in the lump, the re- ge and condemnation of the people everywhere, for procrastinating action and delaying the public business as they ere doing. They know and feel that nine-tenths of the people of the country are for the adjustment measures which have passed the Senate, and are tired a agusted with the delay of their representatives in Congress. Aod knowing this, those representatives ought to reflect that their cor uents may call them to an accoun' aud leave them at home, as unworthy, one these days Mr. McKennan, the new Secretary of the Inte- rior, has gone home to Washington county, Penn- tyivania, to recruit his health, which is not very se Some say that he does not intend to come back, but will resign the cabinet station so re- cently conferred upon him. ‘The fot is, he has been overwhelmed with jicataons for ofhee, and with appeals for him to fulfil the many promises which Mr. Ewing hud made, but had not carried out. To give one-third of the applicants offices, he would be compelled to remove many persons whom Mr. Ewing had appointed. This would be an un- pleasant task. And in addition to this, there are sore twenty-five temporary clerks, mostly whizs, and but lately appointed, in his Department, who will have to go out of office as soon as Congress adjourns, es there will be no law for retaining them, por any appropriation to pay them. It w further stated, thet Mr. Webster has request- ed the President to direct that the appowwting power relative to Marshals and District Attor- | neys, shall be re-transferred from the lote- rior Department to the State Department, where it propetly belonged, uxtil Mr. Clay- ton got it transferred from the the Interior Department, and that Kenner firmly refuses to mive up the pow in and exereised by the Department of the lateror, at the time he entered upon the discharge of its juties. These things are rumored, and it is also rmmored that Mr. Mehennan did not attend Mr. Webster's recent diplomatic dinner, and pleaded indisposition as the reason for his absence. Mr. Ewbank, the Patent-Office Commissioner, is growieg more and more unpopular every day. Parties are here from Northern cities, showing up his partielty in a particular quarter, and his gross unfairness as a public officer. He is to decide upon 4 very importaut case between this and the firet of next month, and if he decides as is gene- rally anticipated, articles of impeachment against him will be preferred to the President, and also to the Senate. The case to be decided relates to the renewal of a patent, which will have rua fourteen years the last day of this month. Thé parties for and against the renewal have been for weeks at work taking testimony and framing arguments, all of which were to be submitted to the Patent- Office by the 20th of this month. The counsel for the opponents of the renewal wrote to Commissioner Ewbink to know if either een send in an argument or testimony after the 20th instant, or could see the other party's ar- gument at the Patent Office, after thatdate.

Weightman, late Pay- master United States Army, and Maj. F A. Cua- ningham, also Paymaster United States Army, Senators in the Congress of the United States. ‘At a later period, they elected P. J. Pillans Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of that State, and E. C. West, Tomas Gabeza de Baca, and Diego Archuletta, Associate Judges. Lewis B. Sheets was elected Secretary of States, J. D. Robinson, Auditor, and Charles Blumer, State Treasurer. An election for sheriffs and ether officers was ordered for the 2d of ust, but it is said that there was some conflict of opinion between Col, Munroe and the people, in this particular, and that this election would be prevented. The Indians still continued their depredations in all parts of New Mexico. They attacked the ranches of Kit Carson and Maxwell, run off all their stock, and killed Bill New, an old moun- taineer, a bugler and private of Company I, First Drugeons, and a Mexican. Major Grier barely escaped with his life. They had also rua off the stock from diflerent places in the neighborhood of Taos, during which they killed five Mexicans. These depredations were committed by the Jicca- rilla Agence, 0 hand of Indians numbering only about 250 men. The Navajoes were not idle, and aad run off large herds of sheep from the Pueblo. Large parties of the Camanches had visited Ga- listeo, Santo Demingo, and Anton Chico, but they did a damage, and professed to be peaceably in- clined. Various outgoing trains and detachments of mili- tary were met on the route. Webb’s train was met thirty miles from Santa Fe ; S. Wethered, Jas. Sabine, E. Ross, and Hez..

The following facts have been furnished the Al- bany State Register, relative to the parties to the | | late tragedy at Troy N. Y:— | Willem A. Caldwell had been a personal ac- tance of the writer for some fifteen years, ed only by an absence of nine monthsat | burn, and a three years’ cruise as supercargo, | board & merchantn to China, &e. He arrived at New, York from that cruise, in early summer. Previous to his leaving this continent,( some years previous,) he wa cngaged to be married to the la- dy who resigned herself tothe horrid death with | which we are all familiar, There was ecnsidera | ble opposition tothe match, which delayed the con- summation of their desires. While absent to Chi- na and other parts of the world, the lady, now no more, became acquainted with a gentleman by the | name of Koopp, and her friends importuned her to accept his hooorable ‘es for marriage, to which at length she reluctantly yielded her assent, | and they were married, and have had one child, well’s return. Caldwell bad sailed nearly around the world, and as he neared his native shores, the | most prominent bay that <a his = in, was the certainty, a8 he supposed,’ of ain clasp | ing his Louisa to'bis heart; bat he. returned om | ly to find the object dearer to him than life, | the wife cf another. The iron entered his soul; | be wandered about nearly distracted, but his better reason came to him, and he resolved to shake | off. Im the mean time he found that she desired to eee him; she, the wife of another, requested an interview. suey ae at last, but their meeting is not to be described. The years of absence that had passed, only had bound them together more strongly, if possible, than before; they met as they thould ot have done—as lovers. Caldwell’s better reason at first did not allow him to thiak of the fature as she thought, and it doubtless would have passed by,and left only despair festened in their hearts; but they loved,and madly; and the former associations of | youth came up be them more freshly at the thought of a final separation. She did not wish to live without him,and told him that she could notand that it was her determinat un to remain with him, notwith- etanding she was the wife of another. Oaldwell was too paesionate and rash to resist that, and it was talked over, that they should meet ‘in. He perted with her to visit Ne iriends in Whitehall, | and went on board the evening boat for Albany. | After the boat wes under way, and while he was | walking the Caek, to his after astonishment she ap- ated bois tim. ‘Fhe thought at once pierced im, that ehe bed indeed abandened her home,and resolved, rogardiess of all the tremendous onse- ences, to shere his fete; and her words short! = od what, had pasred like lightsiog | | through his soul.
