Batler, as Go- Vernors of Kansas and Nebraska respectively, aud of Woodson, of Virginin, as Secretary for Kaasas, ana Cam- ‘mings, of Iowa, as Secretary for Nebraska, have not yet ‘heen acted upon, but they will of course be confirmed. It is stated in this connection, that Judge Douy plied for the appointment of a friend of bh of Nebraska, but it was refused. The uasu cant for the office is a young man of unexceptionsdle character, but his chances were destroyed from the fact that Judge Douglas endorsed him. We have beforo htated that the Judge was regurded with the utmost jea Tousy by the administration. If we are wrong, the Union will dare deny that the facts we hav above are correct. It is almost ludicr: the originator of the Nebraska bili and its g:eat cham- pion could not obiain a petty appointment under it for a Political friend amply qualified for office THE GOVERNORSUIP OF KANSAS. The Sentinel of this morning says that ramors ‘float that the President is about to give the governorship of Kansas to a non-slaveholding man, whose opinions ‘apon the territorial bills are unsound or unknown.

LNCREA*ING THE? OLICE FORCE OF THE TWELFTS WARD—D&BATE. ‘Tue report of the Committee on Finance, fo favor of increasing the police force in the Twelfth ‘ward by ap- pointing ten additional men, Conunissioner Detany opposed the report on tho ground thatthe Twelfth ward was not worth the appro- priution required for the salaries of these policemen. If any increase in the police force should be increased at all it should be in the lower part of the oity,# where the owners of property were obliged to hire private watch- men to protect their property from thieves and burglars. In the Twelfth ward there was no property to protect, except afew patches of watermelons anda few hundred sour apple tices. When he wasa boy he used to steal apples and watermelons, and never thought it any crime. (Latghter ) He cid not think it was just or right to appoint ten additional men to look after cuicken thieves. Councilman Nort# spoke in favor of the adoption of the report,.his reacons being that the ward was of auch a size that the number of men now appointed are unablo to do anything egainst the great numver of bad and dis- orderly characters thatinfested his ward. It was well known that the inhabitants of that ward were disturbed every Sxbbath day by numbers of persons racing theic horses on the Bloomingdale road, coutrary to the city ordinances . For the purgosc, therefore, of putting a stop to the disgraceful proseedings enacted in his ward, he hoped the report would be adopted. Councilman Hopcxinson then rose and made an attack on the Chief of Police, saying that all those police mea- sures were originated by him, that he went lobbying to Albany every year for the purpose of legislatinc away the rights of the Common Council, who were at the pré- sent day deprived of almost all coutrol over the police department of this city. Instead of the reformer (Mir North) endeavoring to decrease the taxes of the inhabi- tonts of the city, he was by his course of action doing allhe could to burthen them with uscless expense. Councilman Norm found out that it was aguinat the head of the Polics Department the ire of the gentleman was directed and,fnot against the report of the Police Committee; therefore he hoped the Board would not aus- tain that gentleman in his project to defeat the report. Counciiman Crancy hoped before the vote would be taken, that the gentlemen of the Board would consider what they were about. ‘They would be appointing ten men to trot tho six horses just appropriated up and cown Dloomingdale road, who would be acting the part of ge men at large, instead of being servants of the pubi Couneilman Kexnepy then spoke in favor of the adop- tion of the report. He for one was not addicted when he was young to stealing apples and chickens, as one mem- ber of the Board bad confessed. He hosed that the members Who would. vote against the report might be regared and set down as chicken stealers, and those who voted for the report as honest memers of society. Mr. Honoxsxvon said that the clgrk should put down those who voted against the report as chicken stealers, but he wished the gentleman of the Ninth’s name would be put down as an ass. (Laughter. bir. Porpy then said that he would vote against the adoption of the report, although he did, not want to bo considered a chicken stealer by any mans. The roform- ers were, he was sorry to say, afraid to come up to the ark, and they wanted to increase thy taxes of the city essarily. . The vote on the adoption cf the report was then taken, which stood 80 to 20 for its adoption, which was declared lost for want of a constitutional vote by the Chair. Councilman Kensupy moved for reconsideration of the last vote. Councilman Crancy hoped that the gag law and ‘“‘choke off? practice would be put off for the present. Councitman Honakiysox.—I hope so, too. The vote on reconsidering being taken was carried. Councilman Kuxxupy moved for the adoption of the report. The vote being taken stood 33 to 17 which was declared carried by the REPORTS.

The Turf, NATIONAL COURSE, LONG ISLAND. ‘This new race cou se is now c mpletei and will It is situated between Its appearance, a8 you ap. proach it, is quite imposing. it is surrounded en- tively by high brick walls, coped with concrete and broken glass, and it will be impossible for improper persons to grin admittance, un'ess through the gates, at which an efficient police will be stationed, In order to preserve strict order and decorum on the course, deputy Sheriff Boyd, of Queen's county, with a posse of sixty men, has been engaged for the occa- sion. No gambling of any description will be tole- rated on the grounds, either inside or out of the walls, £0 far as the control of the proprietors ex- tends. There are two carriage entrances, one at each end of the grand stand, through which vehi- cles can be driven into the interior of the course. The building, castellated Gothic in style, 1,200 feet in length, isa magnificent affair, being both strong and copacious, aud combining every conve- nience and comfort desirable. It is capable of seat- ing 26,000 spectators with ease. On the south wing of the building is a space devoted exclusively to la- dica, to which is attached a reception or withdraw- ing room, &c., 80 that those ladies who may think proper to grace the sport with their presence may be free from annoyance or intrusion of any kind; as much so a5 in the private boxes of a theatre or con- cert room. Adjoining the space devoted to the ladica is that allotted to members of the club, and those wearing badges. None but the stewards, aud those wearing badges, are td be admitted on the track, and no one during the running, except those specially delegated. The re- mainder of the stand is devoted to the accommoda- tion of the public generally. Opposite to the grand stand ig one for the judges, &c., which is two stories high, the upper portion being appropriated for a band of music. The view from the stand em- braces the entire course, and the progress of the horses during the running is discernible through- out, The ground floor of the stand is divided into saloons for refreshments, ticket offices, &c., form- ing the most perfect establishment of the kind in this country, The course is nearly, if not quite, of an oblong form, which gives the horses two very long, straight runs in each mile, the corners at the same time not being too abrupt. It is nearly a level, and thove in the field can see over the entire space. The scil is admirably adapted to running, and if the weather should prove fair, the track will be in capital order on Monday next. In front of the grand stand, and for a distance of two hundred yards, is an iron railing some eight or ten feet high, at both ends of which are iron drawgates to pre- vent the crowd pressing upon the track. Adjoining the course, and in the rear of the Man- sion House, are the racing stables, capable of ac- commodating a large number of horses. Among the horses now present may be enumerated the fol- lowing, commencing with HIGHLANDER, a chestnut horse, by Glencoe, dam Castanet, by Monarch, five years old. He was bred by Benjamin F. Taylor, of South Carolina, and is now owned by Mr. Boyden, one of the proprictors of the National Course. He is a horse of fine size and appearence, and 15 Just such a horse ag his perform: ances show him to be—oue of the best racers of the age, and never beaten but once, which was in the re kal ek stake, ran at New Orleans lastspring. he value set upon him may be estimated from the fuct_ of his having been sold within a few months for $10,0¢0. ULE, a chestnut gelding, by imported Trustee, dam Minstrel Seles eight ‘years old, bred John Harper, of ‘entucky, and now owned by J. G. Childs & Co., of that State. He is a well known horse, of fine size, and in appearance presents all the points of @ thorough-bred racer. Though .not always suc- ceesiul in his many races at long distances, he has never failed to acquit himself with credit. Frying FEA, (better known a3 Little Flea,) a bay gelding, by Grey Eagle, dam by Sarpedon, six years old, bred by Col. Ross, of Kentucky, and now the property of R. P. Field, of the same State. His performances upon the turf have been remarkably Prilliant and attractive from the fact of his being £0 very small—not more than fourteen hands high, and rather slender in appearance; yet so nicely is he balanced, and so elastic are his muscles, that he carries weight with apparent ease, and moves with all the vigor of horses of larger size. Like Reube, he has run many races, winning a fair proportion, and has made the best time at three miles of any horse in the country—5:334. Compromise, a chestnut horse, six years old, by Hencoe, dam by Stockholder. He aas ran rie eisa or fifteen races, and been very successful. splendid animal.

There has been an almost entire cessation of poli- tical excitement since the adjournment of the Legis- lature on the 16th ultimo, The Governor vetoed the deficiency bill, and sent in a message reproving the Legislature for having defeated or neglected the most important bills of the session and the fin- ancial interests of the State. The rumor is contradicted, on the authority of the Governor, it is said, that he will call a special ses- sion of the Legislature for any purpose. A statement was current in San Francisco a few days before the departure of the steamer, that the Russian frigate of sixty-four guns had fired into an English bark outside the Heads, and nearly sunk her, and that while two of her armed boats were re- turning from an ineffectual chase of the bark, they were suddenly attacked by the English steam frigate Virago, and entirely destroyed by a discharge of grape shot. The Russian, seeing the condition of her boats, made all sail to escape, but was fired upon by the steamer, which carried away her main top- gallant mast and rudder, and she soon after struck { without firing a shot, when the steamer took her in tow and made for San Francisco, These particulars were published on the 25th ult., in the San Francis- co Herald, by an“ Bye-Witness,’? who manufac- tured them, supposed in revenge for having, with others, been hoaxed into chartering a fast sailing craft and preceeding out off the Heads to witness the anticipated battle.

Patterson, First artillery, and forty-two mon from this command, and took position on the morn ing of the 7th inst., at the ranch of Otai, United States, a central point, three miles from the boun#- ay line between the United States and Mexico. _i there learned that ,Col. Walker and party am rived at the rauch of La Tiajuanua, Lower Cali via, two and a half miles from the boundary ses the evening previous, Arrangements were made with some of the native Californians to observe continually the position of Col. Walker, and to report to me, as speedily as pas sible, any movement he might'make. A few houra later in the day J received a note from Gen. Melen- drez, commauder of the Mexican forces, requesting an interview with me at the boundary line the lowing morning, (8th inst,) Gen. Melendrez in- formed me of his arrival at the boundary line on the morning of the 8th inst., and when I was proceeding to the interview requested, the accompanying letter from Maj. McKinstry, U.S. A., was given to mes (Marked A.) During our conversation, Gen. Melendrez com- plained that a representative of the United States government had gone into Mexico and _made condi- Uons of surrender, &c., with Colonel Walker. I as- sured him that nothing of the kind could be done; and then asked him upon what conditions he would permit Col. Walker and party to march to the United States without molestation. He replied, “Let him deliver up his arms and ammunition, and a man of his party called ‘Carrillo,’ and he may pass.” “Otherwise you will attack him?” He an- swered, “Ye: Permission was given to me by Gen. Melendre to visit La Tiajuanua, and bear the conditions mentioned to Col. Walker. On arriving at La Tiajuanua, { met Major McKinstry, told him of the complaint of Melendrez; and he Tamediately replied, that he was there in his private capacity— there was nothing official in his visit. I then saw Col. Walker, pare him the conditions of Gen. Melen- drez, which he refused to accept. At this time Walker’s party were preparing to march to the United States by the road to La Punta, U S., which poe near one of the monuments, marking the uundary line. A short time before Col. Walker commenced his march I returned to Gen. Melendrez, told him of Walker’s refusal to accept his conditions, and that he was at perfect liberty to attack Col. Walker and party while they remained in Lower California—im fact, advised him to do so. I then went to the monument, to meet Col. Walker and party, and, with Major McKins' try, received his surrender to the * United States, having previously ordered my com- mand to the ranch of La Punta.
