THE DIVISION OF THE SPOIIs-WHIG TACTICS.
We transfer to our columns to-day, cata-
logue of the appointments of the administration,
as made up and circulated among the wing
presses of Kentucky and Tennessee, for cleo
tioneering purposes. Thus il viz viz be perceived
that the very batteries Of free soil and disunion
directed with most efficiency against the wings
in the late Presidential campaign, have been
seized by the enemy who have turned the guns
against the White House. Well, we intend to
watch the progress Of the game and with in
creasing anxiety as we get into deeper water.
The only thing now which promises the con.
timed adhesion Of all the democratic elements
of the late canvass is war with Mexico and
Spain. backed up against us by England and
France. That would unite the party and the
country upon the administration, and perhaps
the administration know it. Will there be war!
Or. rather, lock at the portentous aspect oil
things all around the Gulf Of Mexico, and an
swer us, ye triding wings of Kentucky and Ten
nessee, will there be peace? What arc the
spoils when peace and war hang suspended in
the balances? However, this wing catalogue
Of appointments may be useful for reference al

therefore To be hoped u at the differences between
the employers and the employed win be speedily ar
ranged.
Tie ship Gondar together with eighteen hundred
bales of cotton and large amount of rosn con-
sumed by fire at Charleston, last Wednesday night.
The damage to the vessel and cargo is estimated at
seventy-fve per cent. The steamer State partially
laden with cotton and sugar, recently caught fire,
and was scuttled, while on her way from Houston to
Galveston.
The old Merrimack mill at Lowell was destroyed
by fire early yesterday morning The loss which IS
covered by insurance, is estimated at eighty thou
sand dollars. On the night previous, in the same
CITY. three buildings, with their contents, worth
twelve thousand dollars, were consumed.
Bv reference to our report of the Williamsburg
millinery case it will be seen that Justice Boswell
yesterday ordered the defendant, Thos. w. Boyd to
pay fine of twenty dollars Mr.. B. wished to carry
the case to the Supreme Court and refused to pay
the fine; whereupon the Justice wrote out commit
ment and placed him in charge of the keeper of the
cells Amid the excitement, counsel for the prisoner
gave notice of his intention to present Justice Bos-
well to the Grand Jury for official misconduct.
The jury in the Kings County Court of Oyer
and Terminer yesterday rendered verdict Of man
slaughter in the second degree against Bernard
Hagan, for having caused the death OF his wife in
Februaryast. The prisoner was sentenced to the
penitentiary for seven years.
Woodward recently convicted for the murder Of
his wife, in Washington has been sentenced to be
executed on the ID of September. Prior to hearing
the sentence the unhappy man is said to have made
a most affecting but unavailing appeal for new
trial.
In addition to much other interesting matter to
which we have no room to particularly alude, our
columns to-day contain the official reports Of the pro-
ceedngs of the Common Council last evening; ac-
count of the Horticultural Exhibition at Metropoli-

The Passage OF tho North Star.

The passage Of Commodore vanderbilt'a yacht North
STAR from this port to southampton, is stated in the
English papers to have occupied but ten days. eight hours

any damage she might have received by getting the
rocks the previous day. at O'Clock the evening
Of the Goth of May and passed the Hook at nine o'clock
