New York, Saturday, September 1, 1858. The News. There was nothing stirring at Quarantine yes- terday. The arrival of the advance guard of the Governor's army, numbering sixteen men, all told, was the principal feature of yesterday's proceed- ings. The military were well received by the rebels, and marched to their camping ground amidst the cheers of the insurrectionists. The main body of the Eighth regiment will leave this city for Staten Island today. On Thursday night Dr. Thompson, the Health Officer, Jacob Lafarge, Justice Welsh and the editors of the Times, Express and Staats Zeitung, were burned in effigy by the citizens of Stapleton and Tompkinsville. At a meeting of the Police Commissioners yester- day, the charges preferred against Superintendent Tallmadge, of neglect of duty with reference to the recent disturbances at Quarantine, were taken up. The meeting, however, was a private one, and the circumstances that transpired were withheld from the public, contrary to the desire of Mr. Tallmadge. It is understood that the investigation of the charges was not entered upon, the specifications not beingjas yet made out in the required form. The Fxropean mails to the 28th alt., brought by the steamship Asis, arrived in this city last evening. An interesting compilation of the news is given in another column. One week later news from Salt Lake City is re- ceived. The dates are tothe idth ult. There is littie of importance from that quarter. The Indians were somewhat troublecome, and the murder of several Mormons is reported. On the arrival of the Judges in the Territory the trials of the Mormon leaders indicted for treason would be commenced. It will probably be merely an investigation, as the President's proclamation pardoning the rebels upon their submission will be honorably carried out. A Post Office agent just arrived at St. Louis from Arizona reports a state of lawlessness prevailing among the inbabitants of that remote region. The pistol and bowie knife were the only recognized ar- bitrators of all disputes. Early in August the agents of the overland mail line to San Francisco were met west of the Rio Grande. They were busily making arrangements to enter upon the mail ser vice this month. We give today a report of the closing proceed- ings of the republicans in Convention at Syracuse, with the apeech of Mr. Edwin D. Morgan, accepting the gubernatorial nomination. Our special reporter also sends us a full report of the fusion debate, which will be found interesting as a part of the po- ltical history of the day. The resolutions adopted by the American Convention are likewise given. A corvention of philosophers of both rexes met at Utica yesterday, to consult upon matters that are ordinarily regarded as somewhat of @ private and domestic character, such as materaity and its conse- quences, immediate and remote. Several gather- ings of the same sort have been held within the past few weeks at Ratland, Vt., and at Berlin Heights. The brief report of the proceedings given elsewhere will enable our readers to jndge of the designs and desires of these new lights. In another part of this morning's Herald we give the proceedings in the United States District Court of South Carolina on an application of the crew of the slave brig Putoam for a writ of habeas corpus to bring them before said court for a hearing, the parties claiming that they are unlawfully held as prisoners in the Charleston jail. The writ was granted by Judge Magrath, and was returnable on Wednesday last. We ale learn from Charleston that the Africans are dying off at the rate of four to six a day. Atthis rate the Niagara ina few weeks would be saved the trouble of a trip to the African conat. Another unsuccessful attempt was made last even- ing to obtain a quorum in the Board of Councilmen, when the Board adjourned till Monday. In the Supreme Court yesterday, Mr. Blankman made an application to Judge Davies to have the error book and other documents in the appeal case | of Cancemi printed at the expense of the county. ‘The motion was oppored by Mr. McKeon, and the Judge reserved his decision. Judge Russell disposed of a large namber of pri. soners yesterday in the Court of General Sessions. Jobn Sharkey, a young man, pleaded guilty to grand larceny, and was sent to the penitentiary for two years. He has served aterm in the State prison. Pstrick Mullen, keeper of a jank shop, was convicted of purchasing four rich brocatel chairs for #1 each, knowing them to have been stolen. The jury re commended him to merc this morning. Robert rtin, cherged with a felo- nious assault upon Wm. Koff, ot 32 Ninth street,on the Sth of Joly, by shooting bim with « pistol, was convicted of a simple assault and battery—the evi dence showing that the firing was accidental. The Judge fined him $100. John MeGowan and John Cooper were tried and convicted of an attempt at burglary in the third degree. Cooper was sent to the Btate prison for two years, and McGowan to the penitentiary for the same period. Ann Smith pleaded uilty to an attempt at grand larceny, and was sent to the penitentiary for one year. Mary Jane Jackson and Mary Satler were each sent to the peniteutiary for two years, having attempted to commit larceny. Mary Woods was found guilty of a similar charge, and was sentenced to two years im- prisonment in the penitentiary. Sarah Burns, alias Riley, confeased to having committed the offence of petit larceny, and was sent to the Isiand for three montha. ‘The cotton market yesterday continued firm, with saies Of about 1,700 balee, closing stiff at fal! prices.

Jeckron. When he entered upon the duties of his office cur domestic affairs were in the moat distracted condition, and cur foreign rela:ions presented nothing but a mass of complete entanglement. The politiciane, both in and out of the Cabinet, had pulled his predecessor hither and thither, each making poor Pierce but a tool to advance their own ee)fish schemes, until the ship of State seemed to have lost the power of guid- ance, and to be blown to and fro with the con- stantly changing winds. The Kansas furore had just swept over the country, and every petty politician looked upon himself as a mighticr man than the head of the State. A period of unexampled expansion and overtrading had filled the jublic treasury to overflowing, and gathered about it « swarm of plun- derers, whose audacity was unsurpassed in the history of public corruption. Am- bitious filibusters hung out their banners everywhere, and set the constituted authorities at defiance. Scheming secessionists, in view of the dilapidation of the federal power, plotted their treasonable designs in the South, and im- pudently announced their intention to break up the republic. The Utah question presented this iseue in a practical form. Fanatics and factionists played into each other’shands in the North, and pushed their schemes of selfish ag- grandisement witu confident zeai. Squatver eoveriegnty was lauded as the great cure-all of every evil. The people, stirred up by ambitious politicians, and excited by hungry demagogues, knew not which way to turn, nor upon whom to found their faith. The etate of our forcign relations at that time was not a whit more satisfactory than was that of our domestic affairs. In a moment of po- litical hope the British Minister had been dis- missed, and our relations with England were liable, without an instant’s warning, to come to a violent rupture—the successor of Mr. Soulé in Spain had been treated at Madrid with the coolest contempt—we were on the verge of war with half a dozen of the Spanish Ameri- cau Statee—New Gransda had refused all satis- faction for the Panama riot—Venezuela had contemptuourly ejected our citizens from possersions to which she had no shadow of a claim—Nicaragua and Costa Rica hed declared all Americans to be filibusters, and murdered all alike—Mexico was more inat- tentive than ever to her international obliga- tions—Paraguay had kicked out our Consul and fired upon our national shipe;—in the midst of all these difficulties the government seemed to have no policy and the State no head. While poor Pierce was being bullied on every side by the politicians, the bead of his cabinet was writing ridiculous letters on the Koezta and privateering questions, and busily intriguing for the Presidency. How completely has all this been changed through the prudence, firmness and consistency of the President! No man was ever so fiercely assaulted, or so impudently threatened by the politicians from every section, as he was upon his installation. But he firmly resisted every effort to force factious bullies into his cabinet. Looking at every domestic issue by the single light of the common good, he has faced down all sectional factions, and reduced such factious politicians as Douglas, Wise, Toombs, Jeff. Devis, Brigham Young, and a host of others to their proper level; Kansas has dwindled to a ebadow before his prudence—Mormonism has thrunk before his firmness, The plunderers bave been driven from the treasury by his energy. ‘The slavery question has died out under his honest interpretation of the consti. tution. The filibusters have been put down. The fallacy of equatter sovereignty has been completely exploded. And, above all, the bydra of sectional issues has been killed by his firmness upon every publicissue. He has infused new life into the moribund epirit of nationality, and re- inepired the people with the conviction of our national permanency. This result is every- where eeen in the recent popular elections. Kentucky, North Carolina, Arkansas and Mis- eouri have all rolled up immense popular ma- jorities in approval of his course. The South has come up in solid phalanx to his support; and even the confident rectionalists of Miesouri have been annihilated. A like result will be feen at the coming elections in the North. The disorder and confusion that are everywhere seen in the ranke of the opposition, are dae to the honest couree of Mr. Buchanan more thaa to any other cause. But if the etate of oar domestic quostions pre- rents a fatiefactory view, our foreign relations do eo even in a greater degree. The relations with England are on a more satisfactory footing than they have ever before been; and thet, too, after passing through as great dangers as they hed ever before experienced. When Palmerston found that he should have to ap- peal to the people of England on his China poli- cy, he pocketed the Crampton (front, and sent a new minister to endeavor to wheedle Mr. Buchanan into joining England | and France in the attack upon the Celestial He will be sentenced Empire. But Mr. Buchanan would not be made the tool of Palmerston’s electionecring schemes, aod firmly refused his flattering offers. The foxy old etaterman then turned, and, as toon as he bad eucceeded in the elections, laid the plan of the Britich outrages. Bat Mr. Buchanan prevented eqnal firmness here, and Palmerston’s successor gave up points that no English states- man had ever before conceded. With Spain there has been a complete cessation of those in- sults that marked her course toward the late administration; and there is now reason to hope that Mr. Buchanan will bring the pending questions to a petiefactory issue. New Granada has receded from her untenable position; Vene- zuela acknowledges the justice of our clatms; Mexico and Central America, finding they have aetatesman to deal with at Washington, are comlug to a senee of their duties; and for Para- gaay a leseon is in preparation that will be taught her if she docs not soon learn wisdom. Hy there things our national position has been vastly enbanoed ‘n the eyes of the world. In there resulte, which have followed the wise and prudent steps of Mr. Buchanan’s administra- tion, we may see how much depends upon the man who is placed at the head of the State. Faotious and ambitious demagogues will al- ways endeavor to frighten and control bim;and in proportion as they sucoved, do the flames of sectional discord rise and the spirit of national confidence and union sink. They teach us that we should never again entrust the government to the compromise candidate of a convention of corrupt and intriguing politicians, A man thould be selected who has a history and ante- cedents that give a guarantee to the peoole. Such a map as General Scott as the people's candidate for 1860, would give a better promise to the whole country than any candidate that could be selected by all the conventions which could meet and wrangle between now snd that time. The country is disgusted with aud tired of politicians, conventions, schemes and bargain making candidates. The Staten Island Invaston—« War, Pesti- lence and Famine"—Lé Rol s’Amuse. Notwithstanding it has been cleorly shown in the Heraip that the Governor’s proclama- tion has been issued without avy legal authority whatever, and that it falls to the ground as flat as the Governor has fallen himself, we perceive that military preparations for invading Staten Island are going on as fiercely as ever. We presume the rapidly spread rumor that the po- licemen had turtle soup every day, drank lager at the Nautilus Hotel by the gallon, and passed the intervals of eating and stuffing in playing ball, has had its effect upon some of our military heroes, who can scarcely be re- strained from making an imm:diate descent upon the luckless Staten Islanders. The Major General and suite have thrown an air of martial pomp over there performances. After inxpect- ing the ground very carefully, and with o coup d’ail worthy of Napoleon himself, they found a site for the camp. Perhaps our unso- phisticated readers—those uvinstructed in the art of war—might like to know where it is to be pitched. Some future historian may possi- bly like to know it. We are, perhaps, asked if it is on the high ground within the Quarsatine itself, overlooking the establishment and threat- ening every part of it? No. Isit on the hill back of the village commanding the place, the Quarantine grounds, the anchorage—indeed, the Island itself, where the troops would be ready to pour down a destructive and resistless fire upon the rebels, assault them with mas- sive columns in their rear, turo tbeir flanks, and smash up with their long nines every suspicicus steam tug which touched at the wharf to carry off the guilty be- yond the reach of the law? We are again com- pelled to answer in thenegative. The General has plumped himself and his army squat down in front of the village tavern, near the turtle cribs and oyster stands; and above al!, within a straw’s length of mint juleps and sherry cob- blers. We think we see them in their white tents, looking contentedly enough at the bay and the sails and the mess kettle—guns in one bend and mint juleps in the other—not so con- tentedly, however, at the dead cavis stealing tbrough the holes in the wali, with the unbappy victims of Yellow Jack on their way to their shallow and repulsive graves, This is about all the expedition of Governor King—horse, foot and artillery—will be able to accomplich. We bave already commented on the unconsti- tutional and illegal acts of the Governor. It is not the first time he has deserved censure, His interference with our municipal rights in the Street Commissioner's case was totally uacalled for, and discovered a tendency to pervert the plain and obvious meaning of the law for a piti- ful party purpose. The city of New York was put to immense inconvenience by this usurpa- tion of power, a large and profitless expendi- ture, and almost driven to a real insurrection, before which Staten Island pales her worst fires. Not at all admonished by the ignominious de- feat which he met with on this occasion, he gas again ventured to mingle in a local strife, equally without the authority or even color of law. It is clear as noonday that no legal occasion for the issuing of his proclama- tion has yet occurred; no civil or criminal pro- cess has yet been resisted in Richmond county, no officer of justice has met with any resiet- ance; neither Sheriff, District Atiorney nor Judge has made any representation of any such emergency; the power of the county has not been called forth, nor exhausted, and there is no reason whatever for the issuing ef the pro- clamation. Those parties for whom warrants have been iseued have in no case made any op- position to their arrests; a large number of per- sone have voluntarily placed themeelves within the reach of warrants; and, with abe gxoeption of the single act of iocendiarism of the Qua- rantine, there is not @ more peaceable, law- obeying county in the State than this very Richmond county. More than this—-its militia have offered their services to the authori- ties to do the duty now to be performed by neighboring regiments—precisely what the statutes contemplate as a preliminary in all cages to such proclamations. We repeat, then, what we have already de- monstrated from the statute book, that Gover. nor King’s proclamation is a nonentity—it is illegal, it is a usurpation of power, and an en- tailment of large expenses upon the public for no justifiable cause. There ie no insurrection in the county of Richmond—there has been none. Thedestruction of the Quarantine may prove to be unjustifiable, and the abatement of the nuisance contrary to the forms of law. Those who have offended must answer for the offence, and pay the fall penalty for wrong doing. There are plenty of magistrates and jurors in Richmond county who will do their duty in the premises, without fear or favor. If the Sheriff refuses to serve process, he can be removed ; if he is a party implicated and liable to arrest, there are Coroners who will serve him with process, without hesitation ‘The law has not been unrnocoasfully invoked — it has not been resisted. The offenders are evi- dently courting investigetion, and will stand upon what legal rights they have. We, there fore, repeat that the proclamation of Gov King is a piece of illegal absurdity; that the in- vasion of Staten Ieland by a military force is more than illegal and is a crime, for which its anthor, the Governor, is Ilable to impeachment. The militia will have to get their pay in turtle soup and lager bier; for they will get nothing else. The Comptroller of the State of New York, when the bills for eoldiering come in, will find no authority for incurring them—none in the Governor for his oocasioning them. The people of Richmond will never pay them, and the State can never collect them, except by selling the island to New Jersey. Let the Governor revoke bia proclamation forthwith. The great Municipal Police Corps—so much lauded for its ability to keep order in four counties—should he q sufficient to protect what remains of the Quarantine; or clse all that has been said and done in their favor by the Kings, Weeds, Nyes and the whole brood of political camp fol- lowers, is a humbug and a lie. Let them with- draw the invincibles of the New York Division; for if they remain there long, we fear in addi- tion to all the other consequences we have stated, the people of Richmond county will have to endure not only a pestilence but a famine. A Ripicerous Discussion —Mr, W. G. Brown- Jow, of Tennessee, a journalist, politician and preacher, who has gained some notoriety as a fighting parson, is engaged at Philadelphia in a digcussion upon the question of slavery with a Mr. Pryne. Partial reports of the debate bave been sent to us, but we must decline to bore our readers with so stupid a repetition of a twice told tale. Mr. Brownlow and men like bim do more to embitter the North against the South than the flaying alive of a thousand niggers. His speecbes are “ all sound and fury, signifying nothing,” and his opponent seems to be of the same breed. THE LATEST NEWS. TERRIBLE RAILROAD CATASTROPH.
