Tho wnuraally hoavy and almost continuous fall of yain which set in yesterday afternoon, and continued up to midnight, interfered with the working of the wires, and rendered it impossible to supply our readers with the usual amount of telegraphic infor- mation from all quarters. Complaints are beginning to reach us from Virginia, and elsewhere in the South, of injury done to the tobacco and some other erops, by recent raivs; and we now have some caute to fear that the immense amount of water which fell in this vicinity last night, has done ne little damage. Many roads, bridges, and stacks ef grain, and, perhaps, some fields of the growing buckwheat, have probably been knocked down; bus then the majority of the corn and late pasture fwids have been greatly benefitted. Here, ia the sity, the rain has operated as a most excellent saoative, at the expense of a few awnings, posts, and Jeaky roofs. It has done more to cleanse our streets, alleys and gewers, from nauseous filth, than ail the inspectors, with their sweepers, scrapers, and earts, have done for a month On reference to the congressional proceedings, it will be seen that the Senate yesterday finished its work on the Civil and Diplomatic bill, and sent it to the House ; after which a communication was received from the President relative to the Lobos Islands. The despatch from ex-Secretary Graham vonfirms the statement that a war’ vessel has been ordered to protect the rights of American seamen in procuring guano at saidislands. Secretary Web- sver also has something to say, conceruing the post- seript appended to his letter to Capt. Jewett, which we published a few days ago. After making va- rious amendments, and listening to a dialogue be- tween several gentlemen on the subject of gas, in the course of which Messrs. Weller and Smith 2p- pear to have got very angry, the Senate passed the Army Appropriation bill. Two or three other bills of an important character were also passed. Gen. Armstrong, of the Union. was vasterday eleeted printer to the Senate. Having now got the work of both branches of Congress, and there be- Weg a great amount of it to do, the General will, doubtless, be able to line his pockets handsomely, and not be compelled to apply for relief, like poor Mr. Ritchie, for want of remunerating prices. The Waion is safe for come time to come ; but what will become of the Republic. Notwithstanding the scene of excitement and eonfusion which yesterday occurred in the House of Representa ives, in relation to the Civil and Diplo- matic Appropriation bill, the body managed to get through with an extraerdinary amount of important business. An attempt was made to report a bill for the esiablishment of a branch mint in this city, but, as usual, this was objected to by a member from Philadelphia, How itis possible for any enlightened body of men to be swayed in this matter, by the marrow winded efiviousness of a few of the Penn- sylvania delegation, is something that cannot be ac- counted for in any rational manner. The immense quantities of gold dust that have poured into this eity ought to convince any man of sane mind of the necessity for a mint here. That this will continue to be the great receiving depot of the precious me tals there can be no possible doubt. The steamship Ohio is hourly expected here with two millions worth of dust, and yet we are refused the privilege of being allowed to coin this dust, but for that pur- pose must needs send it over to an inland town. The morning hour was consumed by the House in discussing a measure to benefit numerous railroad companies, by extending the time for the. payment of duties on the iron they have imported. The Senate’s amendments to the River and Harbor bill, and the Indian Appropriation bills, were all con- eurred in. The passage of the River and Harbor bill will be a most agreeable surprise to the friends of that measure. The large votes in its favor in both branches of Congress, show that both whig and democrats stand nearly on the same ground on this subject. The select committee appointed to in. vestigate nduct, in connection eretary Corwin’ with the Gardiner im, reported that, owing to the necessity of examining a large numbe of witnesses, it would be impossible to get at the facts in the case before the close of the present session. The committee requested privilege to sit during the recess, and to send for persons and papers, in order to enable them to report on the re-assem- bling of Congress in December. This was granted. The squabble which occurred in the House, elatize to the Senate’s amendments to the Civil and Diplomatic bill, indicates that many of the members are averse to being driven into extreme measures, notwithstanding the latencss of the hour. Hitherto the House has generally managed to keep back the appropriation bills until it was too late for the Senate to properly deli- berate upon them ; but this time the latter body got the bills in pretty good season, and availed itself of the opportunity to disfgure them most unmerci- fully, having made something like sixty pages of amendments to the Civil and Diplomatic bill alone. A committee of conference was appointed, and the bill being returned to the Senate, that body decided that it would stick to its amendments, and appoint- ed a committee to meet the one from the House. The political intelligence given under the tele graphic head contains some rather interesting fea- tares. It will be observed that about twonty of the delegates elected to the Seott Whig Convention in Maseachusetts, some of whom are thamost promi- pent whigs in that State, have declined to serve. Among these are Hon. Edward Everett, who has lately been engaged in editing the life of Mr. Web. ster, and the Hon. Rufus Choate, who represented Boston in the Baltimore Convention, and who, next to Mr. W. himeelf, is probably the most popular | member of the party in New England. The do- clination of these gentlemen to attend the Scott Convention, will unquestionably greatly strengthen the Webster movement in the North. It will also be seen that the Webster feeling is gradually gaining ground in North Carolina and Georgia. tion has hitherto been the main cows of itelr defeat. In another part of the paper will be found o fal report of the inquest upon the body ef Mr. Leo Stearnes. A rumor got abroad on Friday morning, that this gentleman bad committed suicide by taking some sort of poison. We are glad to find this was not the case, as stated in a paragraph yeo terday morning. The peculiar course of practice pursued towards the patient was, we suppose, a main cause of the origin of the report. We could not get the depositions taken before the Coroner on Friday, through some slight oversight of his clerk, and henee our publication of the paragraph. The attention of our readers ie directed to various telegraphic despatches, and a great variety of reli- gious, local, and other interesting intelligence, with which our columns, thia morning, abound. The general importance of the matter renders special references superfluous. Charges against Canal Officer—Ruptare In the Canal Board—a family Feud ef a Dan- gerous Character. From developements recently made, thero is rea- son to believe that the most deadly feud exists among the democratic members of the Canal Board at Albany. Although the meetings of that body are in private, generally, and the public know very little or anything in relation to its transactions, yet the proceedings are oconsionally so boisterous, and upharmonious, that one party or the other exposes them to publie view. We find an exposure of this nature in the Albany Atlas, of Friday, the 27th of August, farnished, no doubt, by George W. Newell, the auditor of the Canal Department. Ina lengthy and colored statistical communication to the Board, he refers te the aet of the Legislature of 1846, in which it ie declared that ifthe Auditor is not satisfied with any amount rendered by either of the Super- intendents of Repairs, he (the Auditer) shall notify the Canal Board and Commissioners of the Canal Fund of that fact. Although this law has been in effect four years, still this is the first instance in which the auditor has complained of the unsatisfac- tory nature of suchfaccounts. In this instance, his complaints are exclusively direeted against Smith A, Waterman, Superintendent of the first section of the Erie canal, embracing a distance of nineteen miles from Albany, all of which is of the enlarged size. The increase of expenditure for six months, from first of February to the first of August, the present year, the Auditor says is 130 per cent over the cor- responding months in 1851, inwhich year there was expended for repairs $29,996, andin the present year the sum of $69,003, being an increase of $39,- 907. The other Superintendent specially complained of, is David Barrett, having in charge section No. 3, being the northern section of the Champlain canal, whose expenditures, it is alleged by the Audi- tor, exceed those of last year, up to the first of Au- gust, 154 per cent. Upon these general charges and complaints, Mr. Attorney General Chatfield offered a resolution forthwith discharging the said Waterman and Barrett from the service of the State. This was not adopted; but one offered by Mr. Comptrol- ler Wright, requiring the said Superintendents per- sonally to appear before the Canal Board, on the 7th day of September, was adopted. 'The report of the proceedings of said Board fur- ther divulges the fact, that Mr. Attorney General Chatfield offered resolutions, on the 3rd of August, highly censuring the course pursued by Commission- er Mather, in making contracts with individuals for excavating the Albany basin, an area of fifty or sixty acres, at a probable expenditure of $50,000 or $100,000, without consulting the Canal Board or the Legislature. The resolution also directs the State Engineer to make an accurate survey, and exhibit an estimate of expenditure therefor, to be submit- ted to the Canal Board for its action. Such are a speeimen of the tumults and family jars which prevail in the democratic Canal Board. We apprehend that other objects are sought after than an imyquisy mto we conduct of these canaL officials. There is now going on in the ranks of the “‘united democracy” a bitter strife for a candidate for Governor. In the Canal Board are Sanford 5 Church, L. 8. Chatfield, F. 8. Randall, radical free soil Van Buren barnburners, and John C. Wright, a “soft shell,” said to be of the softest kind, whe are moving heaven and earth, and intend re- moving every hunker on the canal, in order to accomplish the nomination of Seymour, at Sy- racuse, on Wednesday. On the other hand, there are McAlpine, Follett, and Mather—out and out canal hunkers. Follett is working for a re-nomination for Canal Commissioner ; and Mather—since the invitation given him by Cornelius Bogardus to read a paper at Tammany Hall—has set himself up as a candidate for Governor, in oppo- sition to Seymour. The two Superintendents above alluded to are opposed to Seymour’s nemination, and presumed to be in favor of Mather. This fully accounts for the milk in the cocoanut Besides these candidates, put up according to the line of safe precedent, we have various others set apart among the democracy outside—such as G. W. Cline ton, of Buffalo, Col. Curtis, of the Zine Mining Company, in New Jersey—to say nothing of floating candidates, without number, character, or preten. sions of any kind, to recommend them to the con- vention. Now, in view of this state of things among the leaders of the “‘ harmonious” democracy at the capi- tal, what does itindieate? Does it look like obtain- ing a victory on the State ticket? Is there not something ominous in the fact, that two hunker Superintendents should be attacked by the Auditor, and a hunker Commissioner by the Attorney Gene- ral, on the very eve of selecting candidates for State | officers? The time is now so near at hand for the State convention, that there can searcely exist a | doubt but this matter will be diseussed there—that | the barnburners in the Canal Board will be repre- | manded and highly censured for opening the wound | again before the election. The office seekers would | have preferred that such charges should have been | deferred until after the election. They now see that as the breach has been opened at tho Canal Board, the feeling must eventually extend through- out the State, and the result may be that the whigs will their Goyornor, Lieutenant Governor— thereby securing the Senate, the House of Assem- bly, and a Canal Commissioner, and likely carry the electoral vote of the State for General Scott. The oply remedy is to nominate for candidate as Go- yernor some one not connected with any of the old cliques of office holders or offtce seekers; but to take some sound, able, honest man, such as General Ward, of Westchester, whose character as a demo- cratic statesman and a man of honor and integrity is without spot or blemish. Tue Recent Prrgary Execrions.--The demo- cratic primary elections that have been just held, exhibited an unusual amount of rum, rowdyism, and rascality, and the disgust of respectable and peace- ful citizens is deep and unmistakable. There is no confidence in these nominations, or in the organiza- tons under whose auspices they have been accom- plished. Look, for instance, at the two tickets put forward for the First ward. The first one being filled with one set of fighting men and emigrant runners, another set of the same class thought they had as good a right to be on as their neigh- bors, and they revolted and got up another ticket. Thus both the tickets presented a list of hackmen, baggage smashers, emigrant runners, and profes- sional fighting men. One of these tickets has been successful, according to the Inspectors, while the men on the other side dispute the election. But it makes little difference which ticket is ultimately triumphont—both are alike. Neither truly represents the ward. It was a struggle between two sets of rowdies for the ascendancy, and whichever suc- ceeds the delegates will be rowdies; and these are the kind of men who are to nominate the candidates for the numerous offices to be filled at the ensuing cleo- ‘When will the Secretary's friends make @ move in | tions. Will they not select men of their own stamp, hit vicinity Let them not delay, for procrastina- | oy wealthy corrupt men, who arp equally yaruited fot oct, but who will come down with the oush for the votes ef the purchased delegates? How does it come to happen that such delegates ‘| could be placed on a tisket and voted for! Because these men have been long used by the leaders of the democratic party for their own purposes, and finding | out their importance, and elated with their | cess on former occasions, they come to the jus | sion that they are the masters, instead of the ser- | vants, of the men who formerly hired them. | They have accordingly: sot up on their own | heok, the General Committee either not being im funds te employ them, or believing that they would be better off without theft servicesin the present state of public opinion in reference to this | rum and rowdy infiuence at primary elections. Thus | have the rowdies become politicians and delegates on their own account. | “ Buy 4 Baoou—Boy 4 Bacon.” —The New York ergan of the Seward abolition party, whieh was the first ofthe whig journals to malign the private char acter of the demoeratic candidate, and denounce General Pierce as a coward and s drunkard, is be- ginning to confess its fears of being able, by thator | any other means, te carry General Scott into the White House at the next clection. Calumpy is con- feesedly & powerless weapon against their democratic antegonist, mass meetings have all proved failures; and the enthusiasm sought to be created throughout the country, on the military renown of General Scott, could not be forced up to the effervescing point, | but aaflat as stale beer. In this almest hope- Is oud ition of the whig party, the acute philoso- | pher of the T¥ibune finds ono grand nostrum by which he professes to be able to reanimate it, and give new vitality to its flickering lamp of existence. ‘The tickets, generally, however, contain some re- Like that sage currier, immortalized in the old school spectable names, which may redeem the nominations | books who, when from infamy.

If they do not, the whigs will have the game in their own hands, by nominating men of character and weight in the community ; and in that event wo shall go for the | whig ticket, and it will be elected, too, by an over- | whelming majority. If both parties should fail in nominating their best men, we have every reason to believe that the independent men of both parties who have been | 8o long disgusted with the primsry elections, and the nominations that emanate from them, will start an independent ticket, which will rally around it the citizens generally, irrespective of party, and will eventuate in the defeat of both factions, and the triumph of law, and order, and integrity, over violence and corruption. We, at least, will givo our warmest advocacy to such a ticket and such a movement. We do not recognise any authority in the present organizations, either of the whigs or de- mocrats, any more than in any other set of men of equal respectability in their respective parties; and unless they do what is right at the ensuing con- ventions, they will find that the citizens genorally will not recognise their authority, appointed as they originally were by the rum and rowdy influences which have so long swayed these elections, and which even for party purposes become null and void, when they cease to accomplish the legitimate do- signs for which such organizations were originated ; namely : to sclect those men for office most worthy of the support of the party to which they belong, and, therefore, best calculated to secure the victory, and to answer the ends for which government is in- stituted—“‘the greatest good to the greatest num- ber.” New York AnD WASHINGTON BY RAILROAD.— There is not a more important railroad route in the Union than that between New York and Washing- ton. It has not only to meet the wants of travel- ers passing to and tro between the great commer- eial metropolis and the little federal capital of the nation, but it is a part of the great mail route between this city and New Orleans, and is also the great line of the passenger travel, north and south, of the seaboard States. Yet it hangs back under the two great obstacles of high fares and low speed —at such a scale of charges, and at such a rate of speed, as are not only without excuse, but amount to a positive imposition upon the public. Some progress has been made in abating the actual nuisances of a railroad trip to Washington, within the last year or two, for which the public are duly thankful. Baggage at New York is checked through to Washingten, whereas, some twelve or eighteen months ago, the extortions of hack drivers and baggage smashers, at Philadelphia and Balti- more, upon a man and wife with halfa dozen trunks, or less, often exceeded their actual railroad ex- penses between the two cities. The speed has been improved—the fare, too, has been somewhat reduced is? Papal convenience, including the omnibus transportation through the several cities on the route. These ameliorations of a bad system are owing to the esta, blishmont of our steamship lines to Charleston and Savannab. But still, there are several drawbacks and impositions upon the public, in this business, calling loudly for reform. The fare between New York and Washington, in- cluding a limited amount of baggage, is, for one pas- senger $7,890, disided as follows:— From New Yerk to Philadelphia ...... 90 miles, $300 From Philadelphia to Baltimore ...... $7. 300 From Baltimore to Washington... 180 en PRO E ETRE PTT $780 Or about three and a third cents per mile, at the rate of 19 miles to the hour, allowing twelve hours for the express train, though it more frequently oc- cupies thirteen or fourteen—an hour or two not being considered much out of the way. Now let us see how this rate of speed and of charges will compare with our principal Northern roads :— Miles. Hours, Fare. From New York to Washington 227 «12 += $780 From New York te Boston 238 8 500 From New York to Dunkir 460 «16 850 From New York to Buffalo 476017 800 Frem New York to Albany .. 16000 4 180 Now, why cannot the distance of 227 miles to Washington be run in eight hours as well as the 238 miles to Boston? All the natural advantages are in favor of the former route; yet it takes one third more time than the trip to Boston, and one third more money. The right of way, and tho cost per mile of railroads in the New England States, will average $50,000 a mile. South of New York the cost does not exceed an average of $20,000 a mile. The country is more level, the soil is cheaper, and is free from thoze hills, masses and beds of rock, the excavation of which is such a heavy item of expense in the grading of our Northern roads. There is a sort of joint stock speculating compact, however, between the railroad companies of New Jersey and Maryland and those States, which is the great drawback to the reduction of the s,and the increase of speed on the road to Washington. The afo companies, for the monopoly which they enjoy, pay a tax upon each p' er i State treasury, and thus, through an unconst'tut exclusion of all competition, the company is pro- tected on the one hand, while on the other the State is supported by » shameless tax upon the citi- zens of other States. Each paying railroad passon- gor through New Jersey pays fifteen cents towards the payment of the debts of that State, and in Mary- land, we believe, he pays fifty. This will aceount for the atrocious extortion and imposition of nearly five cents a milo for the forty miles between Balti- moreand Washington; and this is the result of a chartered monopoly. If a competing road were al- lowed, we should soon have this five cents a mile re- duced to two cents; and as Congress has power over the subject, it is to be hoped that, for the cheaper and speedier transportation of the mails, it will authorize the construction, by government con- tract, if necessary; of a new railroad post route through each of the States of New Jersey and Mary- land. By this means we shall soon bring Wa shing- ton within eight hours distance of New York, and cut down the fare from $7'80 to four or five dollars, for a through ticket. The time for these aforesaid railroad monopolies has nearly expired. They ought not to be any longer tolerated. 0 the nal Artistic Convention.—A public meeting of the American Musical Fund Society, and of the mem- bers of the musical profession in general, of this city, is called to convene at Metropolitan Hall, to- morrow afternoon, for the purpose of consulting on musical affairs, and consulting as to the benefit which the society is to take in Castle Garden, on Saturday. While the members and friends of the profession are assembled to-morrow, would it not be proper for them to consider what is to he done in the way of giving a grand complimentary reception to Madame Sontag, the (Queen of Song, who will shortly arrive in New York? It isa tribute which then | genius such as hers deserves, and is entitled to ex- ort, frome the musical associations of this phon te be his firm conviction, that “ there was nothing like leather,” so the modern exemplar of that | patriotic individual says, in relation to the mode of carrying on the Presidential campaign—Gentlemen, like——tracts. Let them—the tracts—become general, and it is not ible thatGen. Scott should be beaten; but let them e negleeted, or but partially provided for, and he will very oes eee * * If the contest bree over to the Janisaries of party—the men who “go the ticket right or wrong”’—Gen. Scott will be beaten inevitably. This is the greatest discovery of modern days, and beats the embalming invention hollow. Infuse a certain substance into the carotid artery—(saith the ingeuious French physician)—and the dead body shall be preserved from decomposition—stuff the whig body well with my political tracts, saith the American philosopher, and there can be no such thing as its demolition or defeat by its democratic adversary. It is asovereign remedy, and within the reach ef all. The confident and swaggering tone of this poli- tical empiric is highly amusing, and shows how very low certain people will descend for the sake of such filthy dross aa dollars and cents. Heannounces, asone of the ingredients in his wonderful elixir, a tract by Carey, entitled ‘ Ireland’s Miseries;”’ but the ignorant will be at a loss to make out any connection between the Presidential election in this country, and the condition of Ireland in the last century, or how this is going to help General Scott in the present ‘generation. The cost of this ingro- dient is very trifling, only $10 per thousand, $1 25 per hundred, or two cents singly; but its efficacy is testified to by its publisher, of the Tribune, as being ‘of universal force and pertinence.” The cam- paign life of General Scott, in French, English, and German, also enters very largely into the com- pound. But that which is relied upon as possessing the greatest virtue of all, is Why I am a Whig— by Horace yy.” We don’t see why several other tracts, ia] interest to the public, and in the same style as the latter, should not be imme- diately written and issued, so as to avail in the coming election. Such tracts, for instance, by the game writer, as ‘‘ Why I am a Fourrierite,” “ Why I sport such a shocking white hat,” *‘ Why I wear such a long tailed coat,” ‘‘ Why I have such a penchant for stuffing one leg of my old pants down my boot,” and others of equal impor- tance and philosophic bearing, - would doubt- lees go off with as great a furore as ‘“ Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” or the ‘Forrest Divorce Caso;” and if they would not succeedin tlevating ‘old Chepultepec” to the Presidency, they would at all events fully answer the publisher’s ends, by bringing money into his purse. Shall we have an immediate issue of these interesting literary works? The tract of “ Why I'am a Whig,” is entirely unneeded to en- lighten the public. Every one knows why the wri- ter is a whig ; it is because he makes a little money M+ 0.12. Sencition: Painplilets. tion. bv the sale of such politica, This is the organization by which the sapient Ulys- ses of the whig ; arty proposes to procure the popu- lar votes for Gen. Scott, and carry him into office. Nothing is more simple than the mode he pro- poses. Let clubs be formed throughout the country—let his tracts be bought up and circu- lated, and—what then? Why, if the whigs even are defeated, the discomfiture will be of little consequence, while he has the profits of the tract concern in his wallet. The whole affair looks like his correspondence with Dr. Talbot Watts, in which he says that time is money, and if he was ex- pected to puff the quack medicines he should have to expend time in testing their qualities, and would require payment for his loss of time. On precisely the same principle he is ready to work for the whig party, and try te get up a fuss and enthusiasm in favor of Gen. Scott, if the whigs will only buy up his tracts, “just going at the low figure of two cents each.” Most worthy representative of the ancient currier! they may say what they like, but ‘* there’s nothing like leather!” Marine Affairs, The Steamssir Soutwerner, Capt.
