Great excitement prevails In WashinQton.-
The schooner, which on Saturday, night left
this city, with seventy seven slaves on board ;,
bound for the North, was captured at the mouth
of the Potomac, by the little steamer Salem, from
Georgetown. The schooner had put into a cove,
and anchored, and when found and boarded. at
2 o'clock yesterday morning, all hands on the
vessel were asleep, otherwise there might have
been bloody resistance, or she might have es-
capped. The schooner was brought up this morn
ing; the captain, and two other white men, with
the seventy-seven slaves, were lodged IN jail,
where they are now confined. The captain, in
passing through the city, but for the police
would have fallen victim to the mob which col:
!ected around him. He was put into hack, and
hurried off to Jail, for security. His name is
Sears, of Massachusetts. The schooner is from
New Jersey.
We hear threats against the abolition newspa-
per Office in this city.
Mr.. Giddings brought the question Of the i'm
prisonment of the slaves before the House to-
day.
The captain says he was in the employ Of
the abolitionists.

Summary.


The electric telegraph furnished US with intel
lieence from Washington of an interesting cha
racter, yesterday.
Much excitement prevailed in that city rela-
tive to the recent wholesale attempt to abduct
slaves from the district. 1t was with difficulty
that the captain of the schooner was saved from
receiving summary punishment at the hands OF
the mob. He states that he was in the employ
OF the abolitionists, against whom the people
of Washington exhibited their aversion in an
effort to destroy the office Of the abolition news
paper. Mr.. Giddings preached the subject In
the House, but in such a manner as to excite
nothing but ridicule.
Congress transacted its ordinary amount of
business yesterday In the Senate, Mr.. Dix re-
ported bill allowing the line of steamers
between this city and New Orleans to touch at
Havana. A bill for the relief of Passed Mid
shipman Rogers, was read twice The bill
relating to the duties of the judges of the U. s.
Supreme Court, came up on its final passage, and
was lost A resolution to inquire into the ex-
pedlency of coming quarter dimes and dlscon-
unue the coinage OF cents, was adopted. In the
House, the contested election case between Mr..
Jackson and Mr.. Monroe, served the purpose of
enabling members to deliver their sentiments on
partizan morality and rascality. No decision
was arrived at.
A despatch from Philadelphia informs that
fire was rsging last evening in Gen. Patterson's
extensive stores in that city.

THE CoURr OF 1SQuRy-FuNNY SCENES On
perusing the proceedings of the Court of lnqui-
ry In Mexico, the long debated question-who
is Leonidas lis in fair way of being satisfac
torily answered. That court, sitting as species
of examining committee, have had better luck
than the committee of sages in our city had, who
were appointed to institute metaphysical inqui-
ry into the qualities of saltpetre and ascertain,
for the satisfaction of an expectant public, whe-
Their that substance would or would not explode,
when brought in contact with fire, under certain
circumstances. That question never has been
decided, albeit a ton of the material was ex-
pended in making experiments in the vacant lots
up town. Leonidas appeared almost at the CON-
mencement of the inquiry, to be Gideon J. Pill
low, gentleman who was called from the bar
of county court, where Mr.. Trist says che was
a capital lawyer to defend q fellow charged
with horse stealing, particularly If the case
were bad one, and required dexterous
tampering with Witnesses" and appointed Major
General in the American army. This is GER
tiicate Of character voluntarily given by Mr.
Trist, Mr.. Folks special commissioner to Mex
leo, IN favor of Mr.. Folks particular nominee
Major General Pillow, of Tennesee-on his
SAOSo-SAoHAAuosiOAU cIOIC TIC SOuLt VI Inquiry
now in session in Mexico.
We cannot, perhaps, plead guilty to having
read the whole Of the proceedings of this court;
but from the portions of it which we have Pc
rused, we confess we never heard of more RI
dlculOusly absurd state OF things than that which
this court has developed. No sooner had our army
defeated the enemy. and accomplished the most
brilliant and daring feats that mark the pages of
modern history, tia one or two ofthe leaders and
officers of that army get up quarrel on their
own account, and commence fighting between
themselves in manner that would disgrace
even the Inhabitants of Billingsgate No sooner
had they astonished the world with the magnitude
of their military feats, and helped to make
name for the United States as military power,
of which We may we'll be proud, than they per-
petrated series of follies which have detracted
from their merits at home, and were It not for
the exciting scenes which have recently taken
place in Europe, would disgrace them in the
eyes Of the world.
AS it is, one fact ia most clearly established,
viz that off the field of battle, our.military men
are not characterised by any Qualities which
would justify the people in eevating them to CT
vii offices, requiring calmness, GOODNESS and dis
erection to faithful discharge Of their duties
As military men-in the face OF the enemy-they
are equal to any emergency.
