LETTERS from WASHINGTON.
The Correspondents OF the Wing presses have begun
with their bulletins and their gossip. Among these
see in the last Philadelphia "U 5. Gazette" letter Of
the 18th inst, which touches point or two Of some
little interest. The 1st statement is:
6" hear though pretend not TO hear il from The first authority
the Secretary the Navy will recommend alteration,
mode Of conducting the business arising out Of that depart
ment"
II there be "much room for amendment, reformation
and economy, we hope the Secretary will press them
for the good of the service-The neat personoge On
the tapis is Mr.. Forward-and he is thus presented

iicy."
If the Secretary viii take advice, lie had better
keep his hands off. lie never persuade the people
take up again this exploded American System. What
the Washington scribber 'sconsders TO be sound in bus
views upon the Tariff the South begs leave 10 pro.

promise Act to enlarge the duties for protection,
or beyond the 90 per cent The next figure the Ia
bleau is the British qnestion-thus:

rights from deep of his public du,ics-but lie

We pass over the illusions in the Washington litter
to Mr. Stevensons being "the opposition candidate io'
Governor Of Virginia. and Of his being "the party
candidate for the Vice Presidency" We know mol h'
wishes upon either of these subjects, of any plans
that have been formed by his Republican friends. Tie
Wings are, usual going Crockettlike, ahead IN tier
speculations-The next point in the letter relates q
another gentleman, Of whose movements we are no'
informed, though some mystery seems TO prevail oTe'
his prospects and his course We give the rumOu',
with usual remark, Mons FerroaS,

We have much gossip also in some letters from Was.
ingon, published in the New York Express, and u:
Baltimore Patriot. The Correspondent for tie a.!
paper suggests, among other things:
"There enough the OF TIE Y
