From our Special Correspondent.
WAsu,xGroN, THURSDAY,
see it stated in some of the New York papers
that this town is all agitation because the Presl-
dent is about to dismiss ,Messrs. Spencer ana
Nelson If in this town there is any thing IN a
state of agitation, it is the dust on the Avenue
and nothing but the dust. For with the excep-
ton of that commodity most extraordinary quiet
and calm has parvaded the place and the people
for several days past and this was not disturbed
until last night, when the decisive news o' the
Connecticut election arrived. Then there was q
l;ttle-and not hltle-agtation among the To-
CO. -Focos-which ultimately subsidized INTO what
Southey calls the composure of settled despair.
Today all is calm as a Summer morning, but
whether the Locos breathe any freer Is uncertain,
although that they cusrc deeper is by no means
doubtful.
But TO return The President has no idea OF
dismissing Mr.. Spencer now. Mr.. Tyler would
have been glad 10 have got rid of him IN gen
tecl way by placing him on the Bench, but he
will not dismiss him. With all his faults Mr.
Spencer is an industrious and efficient officer,
although much dsliked here. AS soonas Mr.Iyler
found that Mr. Spencer had no political influence
in New York he wished to get rid Of him and
obtain Cabinet officer who had influence
in that slate. But Mr.. Spencer will not give
Mr.. TYLER reasonable ground of complaint, and
Mr.. TYLER dare not dismiss him without that. AS
to Spencer's harmonizng with Calhoun, that
has nothing to do with it Mr.. Calhoune does
no, on any account intend to mix himself up WIN
Mr. Tylel's petty squabblcs and quarreis, pohlicai
| or domestic and as both Calhoun and Spencer
arc men of great talent and energy, they can hnd
enough to do in attending to the business Of their
| respective Departments without clashIng with
each other in any way. 1t is true that Mr.. Spen-
Ger is opposed TO TN eAnncxation OF Texasb he
will not annoy the President by making his pri-
vate feelings take precedence of his public duties
sstu Mr.. Nelson, he is such Il mere cyphcr,
about whom we hear SO little and care less, That
whether he is dismissed or not is matter of no
snrl or ;mportarce to any one. 1t is true nc has
" dared, THAT is Bob Tylers expression) TO ridl-
culc the idea of Mr. Tyler being run as candl-
date for the Presidency, and for tins the Madl-
| sonian" took him to task the other day IN John
Jones's peculiarly severe style; and the Jones ac-
tnaly threatened TO call names out o school The
next time that Nelson dared to say that John ~
Ter didn't stand chance against Clay or Van
Buren.
Matters in relation to these two personaSes
have gone to "this cxtcnt-no MORE"
with regard to the Oregon Question there is
y" douht. whatever that MIR. Calhoun will pro-
pose 49o North latitude as the line; he may per
hans also insert a provision retaining to the
United States the possession Of the whole of Van
Couyer's Island, which contains Nootka Sound
Harbor, and another hatbor, (Nitika,) forming
two of the finest harbors on the Coast; and this
will leave to Great Britain only the harbor at the
month of Frescrs river; the line Of 49e runs across
the Southern third part of Van Couver's Island,
and below the two fine harbors above mentioned.
Great Britain, think, will not give up all Van
Couycr's Island, and it is possible they will not
consent to let 49e be the line Certain 1t IS that
Mr.. Calhoun and Mr. Tyler have agreed to run
the line of 49, North latitude, to the Pacific, and
thence round the North Of Van Couver's Island
but they cannot very well refuse to run 49' across
Van Couver's Island; because II has been twice
offered to Great Blitan-and if that Government
agrees to take this now, this country cannot very
consistently 90 to war for the two haroors on van
Couver's Island North of 49s. The whole OF tiils
Island would be given up by us II Great Britain
could get us San francisco in California. And
then we should have the fine harbors IN Adlmraity
Inlet and Puset's Sound, below A90.

doubtful whether Mr.. Mkay's Tariff blII
can pass The House, and IT'S fate Is considered as
sealed in the Senate.
1t is said by those who profess to know and 10
speak auihoritatively that Mr. Van Buren's letter
leaning towards the Annexation OF Texas, will
now be published in time TO operate upon ihe
VIRGINIA elections The Southern men IN the
House say that if Mr.. Van Buren, and Mr.. Clay
both come out AGAINST Annexation, that South.
crn man will be started who will get 80 electoral
votes do not by any meaus endorse this
merely "feU the tale as 1t was told to me-" The
Treaty for the Annexation of Texas will be sent
to the Senate before the Virginia Election. Ii

An ExrLosIoN-We learn from the Baltimore
Patriot, that on Saturday an explosion took place
in one of the Powder Mills, owned by Mr.. James
Beatv. situate about nine miles from Baltimore,
near the Susouehannah Railroad. There were
some sixty or seventy kegs of powder in the build
inc, all of which exploded, producing tremen-
dous noise, and nearly raising the mill from its
foundation. A number of panes of glass in the
dwelling house on the premises, not far Oft, were
shattered TO atoms by the conclusion. Fortu-
nately no one was in the mill when the accident
occurred, nor was there any injury done except
tn the property. 1t is not known how or IN what
manner fire was communicated TO the powder
Ills supposed to have been purely accidental and
unavoidable.
NJ We understand that Daniel Ulmann, Esq,
of New York, has purchased the Philhpsburg
estate, living in Centre, Clearfeld, and Cambria
counties, in this state
We learn that this splendid property contains
lc .a.o.tu thnlsa nd acres of fertile land
