Tse troops Continued in fine health, and wore awaiting the Getermination of their commander to proceed to Balt Lake. Colonel Johnston had a regular effective force of 1,800 men and a thousand animals in good condl- don, with a large volunteor force, aud the general impres- Bion was that he would not wait for reinforcements before making the attack. Communication with Salt Lake City Was entirely prohibited, and little or nothing was known of the intentions or preparations of the Mermons to resist tho entrance of the troops.

THE LECOMPTON CONSTITUTION—THH ROCK ISLAND RIDGR—THE NEW REVENUE BILL—-WAGON ROAD To COLUMBIA—LAND PATENTS IN CALIFORNIA LOBBYING, BTO. ‘Wasnivaron, April 5, 1858. "The Lecompton bill will probably come up in the House to-morrow. Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, who has not yei ‘spoken on the bill, intends to peak on it, and his speech ‘will doubtless lead to more discussion. He does not intend to call the previous question, but let others speak and dis- ‘ours It if they choose. The Committee oa Commerce have h-d under considera- tion for sometime the Rock Island bridge matter, and to- ‘day agreed to report that they considere | ita serious ob- stacle to navigation, but deem it inoxpedi -nt to legislate in the matter, as it is a question for tho courts. Mr. Cochrane has completed his revenue bill, containing ‘Upwards of six hundred pages, codi(ying the whole system, ‘And wil! submit it to Congress in a day or two, and ask an ‘early day for ite consideration, All the amendments sug- geeted by the Chamber of Commerce fave been adopted. As to whether General Smith or General Harney is to take command of the army of Utah it is yet undecided. ‘Generais Smith aod Harney had a long interview with tho Secretary of War this morning, and afterwards, accom “panied by tho Secretary, with the President. Goueral ‘Smrth us the serior officer, and his friends, are urgent For the command to be given to him. The friends ‘®! General Harney, on the other hand, look- img st the great age and feeble condition of Bho gallant old General Smith, and knowing that tbe actual service must be with Harney, desire ‘Sbat be should have the honor as well as the labor and Toepoustbility. Lieutenant Mullen, of the Artillery, with a corps of men ‘and laborers, has been ordered by the War Department fo open the wagon road from Fort Benton, om the Missouri, ‘to Waila Walia, on the Columbia river, Oregon. An ap- Propriation of thirty thousand dollars was made by Con- grees for this purpose about two years ago. The time is ‘Ponsidered opportune to accomplish the work, which ts of Wpportance to emigrant trains, as the troubles in Utah ‘may keop the central rou:e closed or dangerous. The General Land Office has transmitted by mail to the ‘Surveyor General of California, for delivery to the parties @utitied, patents for the following private claims in said Slate, viz.:—For atract called “‘Sotoyome,”’ in favor of Jo- Bepba Caritlo Fitch and others, for 48,836 51-100 acres; “Et Molino,” in favor of Jobn B. R. Cooper, for 17,804 $2 106 aeres and “EI Rincon de los Carneros,” in favor of “Juiina Martin, for 2,557 68-100 acree. The Senate in executive session to-day confirmed the trosty lately made with the Pawnee Indians. Buttertioid, Fargo & Oo., who obtained the lucrative ‘Cortract for carrying the mail from Memphis ana St. Louis overland to San Francisco, are eitoer working themseives gecretly, or others conne sted with the raliroad system of ‘the Northwest are lobbying, to defeat by act of Congrees the contract made with the Postmaster General, and to ave the route contracted for changed for another. Six ‘hundred thousand dollars a year for six years to carry Abe maii twice a week in twenty-three days each trip from the Mississippi to San Francisco, ought to satlafy Qbere gentiemen. The Northwestern railroad companies, ‘M4 & understood, bave their hands in this matter, and are wring #0 extraordinary lobby influence to ect aside or bverrulo the Postmaster General in the liberal and wise -trrangement be has made. The Mexican Mister has from time to time informed © ovr government of what he has learned as to filibustering movemeuts in the South for Mexico, and it is said the President has iseued inetructions to the federal officers to ‘Watch apd prevent such movements. ‘The Investigating Committee on Willis’ Point held a ses- pon to day. Two or three persons were bofore them for exemination. I cannot learn that any important facts were developed. From present appearances the public ‘will receive a very small rotura for the cost of inquiring into these matters. Im the Fort Snelling case but little has been elicited. THE GENERAL NEWSPAPER DESPATH. Wasirvoton, April 6, 1858. Gemoral Sargent, of Cincinnati, had to-day a formal in terview with the Prosident and tendered a regimont of Ohio volusteers for service in Utah, supported by a re- fousnendation from the Legislature of that State. Thin understood that General Harney respectfully pro- torts egainat being placed second in command undor Go- moral Smith in tho Utah expodition, and desires a com. gmaed in some other direction. 2 On the reprerentations of General Robles, the Mexican ‘Mivieter, the State Department has reissued its former in- structions to prevent the organization or fitting out of un- Jawful expeditions withia the limits of the United States for the invasion of the Northern States of Mexico. Both overnments in Moxico havo written to him on this sub- Jost, but be cfficially corresponds only by the one recog pined by our own. + Colonel Beoton'’s health has materially failed within the last few days.

After I had went my despatch stating that Governor Powell, of Ken- fucky, bad been gent for to be offored the position of chief commissioner, T learned tha! that geotioman had just ar- rived in this city. The choice of Governor Powell for such ‘a delicate and important effice is a judicious one. I do not understand, however, why Major Ben M’Oulloch should be relected as one of the commissioners. | am not woll acquainted with him, but the opinion I bad formed was Bhat he was a inan of courage, of intrepid daring, of high pharacter as a soldier, and, in fact, one of the beat men Ww the world to fight the Mexicans, Mormons or any ‘other onomy, but | was not awaro of the gallant Major pos- essing qualities to assist in such ® delicate and important ‘negotiation, Tt may be so, and aa | underatandghe is some ‘bing of a favorite at the White House, Mr. Buchanan may Have discovered such qualities in him, It will be forta. ‘nate if commissioners be sent and should be able to un doootvo the fanatic rebola of Utah, and by bringing thom to reason and to a knowledge of the intentions and power of the government, the shedding of blood in civil war, and ‘the great oxponse of such a war can be avoided. Some curious developements are being made as to the aifiiiation of the opposition factions in Congress. The in- dignant repudiation of such affiliations by those members ‘who till Intely acted with tho democratic party, and who have the aasumption to call themselves democrats now, shows clearly enough how sensitive they are upon the gubject.

Somo of these gentiomen may have been awakened from the sort of intoxication into which they had fallen, and now are be- ginning to realize the consequences of their political do auch. Hence how natural for them to be eo sensitive and restive when charged with being renegates or 60- coders. From their conduct it would be fair to infer that they had heediessly been entrapped into a vecret organi- | zation cemented by pledges or oaths. No doubt some of yhom are looking like a caged animal for means of escape. Can tho administration, or their old friends of the demo cratic p*rty, lend them a helping hand?

And these are the men that bully the press— | that institution of our country which makes and unmakes such people, and which is tothe liberties and political fabric of the United States what the gun is to the soil and ‘vogetation. The Washington Union, the editorials of whieh are under the of the Assistant Secretary of State, and which would hardly express anything contrary to the views of the administration as to foreign matiers, says to- day of Mexico :— ‘The future of Mexiro can therefore develope but one of two alternatives—a consolidation in the despotism of an absolute guioarasy, OF a thorough lution, Sistategeation: aad. full- ing asunder of government and sxelety.

THIRTY-FIFTH CONGRESS, FIRST SESSION. Wasuinaros, April 5, 1858. PRITTIONS, Various petitions were presented and referred; among cthers, one from the citizens of New York io favor of the passage of a general Bankrupt law, and one from the Chamber of Commerce of New York against the abolition of the Lighthouse Board. ‘The joint resolution of the Legislature of New York in favor of paying Revolutionary debts was referred.

Aresolution was presented from the Legislature of New Jersey asking the President to promote Lieutenant Maury. POLICE YOR THE DISTRICT. Mr Brows, (adm.) of Miss., brought up his Police bill for the protection of lives and property in the city of Waabington. The bill provides for @ patrol force of one hundred men, and numerous stringent regulations. Accompanying the bill isa report from the Committee on the District of Columbia, which expresses in the strong- eet terma the state of bloodshed and riot in the city, and throws on Congress the responsibility of maintaining order. A discussion ensued in which Mr. Sswaxp described the condition of affairs in Washington as a reign of terror. Mr. Dovoras, (opp ) of TU., said that we all know that no man’s life is eafe in the city, even on the most public (Penpsylvapia) avenue.

Rvery er conceded that life and property were unsafe in ‘aebirgton, and needed protection. Mr Ivensow, (adm.) of Ga., compiained that Congress had to feed and clothe citizens of Washington.

Borton’s TrkatRe—Mk. Epwin Booru anp Mas Hupsow. Kiny.—Stars and the legitimate drama are again inthe ascendancy at the several city theatres; but if Inet night was any criterion, they will not be as poptiar as the “ coptemporancous drama’’ which they supersede. Just now tho theatrical world craves novolty, and the pabu um upon which it has been feeding for the last three months does not seem to have pailed in the least. This is a capital time for young dramatic authors; a tolerably good play upon a subject in which the public is interested could not fail but to make a hit and yicid a large return to playwright and manager. Mr. Fawin Booth re appeared on the boards of Barton's theatre Inst night, after some months absence, as Pescara, in Shiel’s play of the “ Apostate,” before a slim but appreciative audience, who called him oat twice and appiauded him heartily throughout. Mr. Booth is indubitably @ tragic artist of great morit, but of greater promise. Ho has tho true fire of genius, which needs but time, industry and study to piace its por seseor in the very front rank of living tragedians. Nature has endowed bin richty with a fine voice, an eye of won- derful expreasiveness and features of great moditity; but, with the exception of his natura! gontus for the stage, art has done but little to mature bin. His elocution is often faulsy , bis attitudes strained and unnatural, and theo he always uneven. In particular gcenes, however, he ix truly great, and it would be difficult to concetve how they could be better done Mr. Booth has ovidently tm proved since bis last appearance in this city, and bis formance last night exhibited more sustaiued power we bave heretofore noted in his personations. This artist the traditions of the old school of act- elder Kean was tho great exomplar. 1» the de~ ibited in follows ‘mpliet ing, of which This may be termed, for want of « better ‘monstrative school, in which passion is ¢: ita merety physical manifestatious, by contertlens of features, startling attitudes and the like. The modern school of acting, tn which Rachael ex- colicd, {s that im which passion and feeling is suggested and implied rather than expressed to action. We confess a partiality for tne latter school, as Boing the most natural, and we think that, were her. to pay some aitention to the examples of the modern style of acting, he would be much bonedtted thereby. Sita. Tucson Kirby, from the Boston theatres, who has been engaged to play the lending female roles with Mr. Booth did not mske a very favorable impresion ns Fio rinda. Sho hasa tincetage presence, and is a good cestumor, but bere commendation must slop, Her olocation is fanity, and her acting is painfully spasmodical. She would possibly make fair stock uotress if she did not try to do too much with her part, but judged by the performance of last night, sho will not do aa a leading actress in this metropol's. It is Dut justice to say that Mr. Barrett was admirable as Hemeya, and fairly won the appiause he received. Watack’s Tuxarhe.—Mr, and Mrs. James Stark com- menced an engagement of six nights at this theatre last evening, playing the principal parts in ‘ The Gamester,” & stapid old play, of the most conventional aad unnatural school. Itconyeys morality as Mrs. Squeors gave the boys brimstone and treacie by the table spoonful, and follow'ng out the old fashioned allopathic piso, kills the patient Defore it cures hin. As for the acting It was bet ter than could havo been reasonably expected from the ature of the play. | Mr. Stark iss & fine manly prewanco, aud good voice, and @ bold, earnest, impsssione style. Both he and Mrs, Stark are, howevor, lacking in grace wud polish, and were occasionally violent, pitching their voices in woo loud a key for the capacity of this hovse. The performance waa highly satisfactory to ‘a large wudience. In a better play than “ The Gameator”’ Mr Stark will makes sensation. Ho bas all the points of a firet class artist.
