WASHINGTON, Nov. "a

The Democracy of Washington are
preparing symptoms jubilee dinner al
the u. S. Hotel, for next Tuesday.
The President is said to have disap-
proved, by advice of Gen. Scott, of the
judgment of the Court Martial, acquil.
ing Captain McLane, and has ordered a
new trial.
Five hundred thousand dollars, Of the
principal of the Maryland State debt has
been paid within the last fiscal year;
next year it is estimated that 100000
will be paid off, and that six years, with
the present taxation, will sweep off the
entire principal.
Passed Midshipman Davenport's re
cent course at Havana, is severely Gems
ure6 by Government; he has been re-
moved from the Crescent City.
The Vincennes is now fitting for a
three years cruise on the Pacific.
Aspecial meeting of the Cabinet was
held this afternoon. Supposed to be up.
on the affair OF the Crescent City, but
more probably respecting the Presidents
message.
Some twenty special messengers have
been detailed from the Post Office Depart,
merit to deposit the Message with the
Posmasters OF the principal cities and
towns throughout the United States
They will start early next week.
Gen. Shields, and half dozen mem
bers of the House, have arrived here.
The President officially recognizes
JOS Gilman Bates as Consul of Belgium
at Boston.
The lntelligencer announces that the
sloop-of war Cyane is ordered to Havana,
and the Albany to Pensacola.
The reported failure in the machinery
of the steamer Princeton is confirmed by
the Norfolk papers. Only fifteen inches
steam can be kept up, and usually not
more than six or seven. Her speed is
about six miles PEI hour, and in going to
Norfolk the Mississippi had to take her
IN tow.
Capt. Perry had left Tor Washington
TO Get the Powhattan substituted in her
place.

New SLAVE CAsE.--A Mr.. and Mrs.
Lemon with eight slaves, all from Vir-
ginia, recently found themselves in
New York. IN fransitu for Texas
While tarrying in that city few days,
the slaves. through some instrumental
i,y, were taken on habeus corpus before
Judge Paine and discharged, on the
ground that, being brought voluntarily
under the operation of the laws of New
York, where slavery does not exist, they
became free; neither were they fugitves
in the sense of the Act OF Congress.
"Judge Paine having no precedents
before him, Of case exactly similar to
this, was forced to consider the subiec,
under the light of the law of nations,
and the general principles of the com
mon law. But these, he says, DO not
admit of right of property in man, and
therefore, a stranger, though he may I'M
questonably pass through the territory
of a neighbor with inanimate things as
properly, canuot carry persons with him
as such. Slavery is condition es,ab-
lished by the law of the State, or by
municipal law, and does not exis, under
the law OF nature or nations. The same
laws, consequently, which guaranty a
strangers right of transi. also declares
and guarantees the slaves right to free
DUN. ...r..
The Judge, after arguing the several
provisions of the Federal Constitution
cited as applicable, and showing that
they were not, then passed to the laws
of this State which declare that no prop
erty in man can exist within its limits,
except in the single instance of fugiiives
from labor, under the Federal Constitu-
ton. Our Revised Statutes are clear,
positive, and explicit on the subject, for
bidding slaves to be brought into the
State ION any pretense whatever, or If
they are brought, shall be Free"

Distressing Calamity.

A large building, in Palmyra, in this
county, occupied as store, and also by
several families, was consumed by Are
on the night Of the 18Th inst. together
with all the clothing aud furniture ofihe
inmates, most of the goods, and horrid
10 relate, two children, one six years
old and The other younger. |, seems
when the parents were awakened the
room was enveloped in fames--lhe faith.
err, Isaac Holterman, seized bed OH
which two of his children were sleep
ing ang carried it out; returning, blinded
by the smoke and FIRE, he mis.ook ,he
bed on which were his two other child
rem and carried out another. The
screams and cries of the children in Me
flames revealed to The horror stricken
parents the fatal mistake, aud the falling
iimbers and roof had already cut off all
attempts at rescue. We are told by an
eyewitness tina! the children were re-
Peatedly heard to call for their mother 10
hell them. What fearful agony must
have rended the hearts OF those parents
to hear their babes, above the roar Of the
flames, cry 10 them for help, when alas!
fiery wall circled them. which none
could brave, Mr.. Holterman and his
wife were both badly burned, and ones
of the children that were rescued is
burned so badly that i. is no. expected,
10 recover.
The other inmates, VIM. p. Flesher
and family, Henry Popejoy, los, every
thing, even their clothes. The IRE
originated from defec. in the stove
pipe, in the kitchen. The building be-
longed to the heirs of Madison Flesher.

STEAMBOATS, AHoY!-Scarcely any
thing can afford TO the citizens oil this
valley more pleasure, than the prospect
of the navigation OF its River in some
shape. They have been waiting long
time, and they would like. pretty soon,
to see the realization of their expecta-
tons. We are happy to learn that the
prospect is no W fa!tering of an attempt
being made, to navigate the River with
boats adapted TO its present condition,
the ensuing season.
The boat at Iowavi'le. we learn, is
nearly or quite ready for her machine
ry, which latter is at Keokuk awaiting
more favorable condition of the roads
to be hauled mp. We may look, we
think, for visit from our Iowaville and
Pella friends on their new boat early in
the spring. They will be welcome.
In this connection, we are authorized
to state, that our esteemed fellow-ci citizen,
Capt. E. S. Davis, is making arrange
ments TO place boat on the river in the
spring, of such draught and construction
as will enable him, he thinks, to run
four months at least in the year. Mr..
Davis, II will be recollected, is one OF
the gentlemen appointed by the Iowa
vile Convention, 10 examine the chan
mel Of the river, and who discharged
that duty in manner SO satisfactory to
the public. He is a practical man.. and
can succeed in an enterprise Of this
kind if any one can. In the prosecu-
ton of his present design he will COM
nand the good wishes al least, of the
people of the valley for his success.
How is il, by the way, with the old
dams! Have they been all cleared out
and are they OFT now! There are con-
flicsng stories up this way about them.
This might be matter OF importance,
even this winter. The river is now
high and rising rapidly. We hear of
large accumulations of freight at Keo-
kuk and probably more at st Louis.
Transportation by teams from the former
place is now dlfiicul,, and boat might
find il profitable 10 venture trip or two
up the Des Moines about this time.
Why not!
