Our intelligence from Washington is important
The recent news from Madrid regarding the Black
Warrior difficulty has aroused the administration at
last and it is expected that before the lapse of many
days a message of highly bellgercnt character
concerning relations with Spain M he trans
mtted to Congress Our readers will resoflect that
on the 9th ult on the receipt Of intelligence from
Europe that the Black Warrior affair had been salts
hctorily arranged and full reparation made for that
outrage, we exposed the utter improbabiity of the
statement, and cautioned the public against giving
eredence to such rumors, however plausible they
might appear. The last steamer brought in
formation confirming in every respect orr
view of the subject. The supporters of the
Nebraska bill held caucus last night, and agreed
20 oppose all amendments save striking out the
Clayton clanse. We have given our views of the
present aspect Of this question in another column.
II is said that some Of the opponents of the bill have
agreed to assst in bringing it up. The rumorcd co
aliton between Marcy and the New York national
democrats is creating wonderful sensation. Gener-
al Almcnte, the Mexican Minister, has despat1he
two messengers to Santa Anna, with copies OF the
treaty, aad government steamer is waiting at Nor
folk to carry Gen. Gadsden with the treaty ITSELF to
Vera Cruz. The pomp and circumstance attending
The assumption of imperial dignities, and the war
with she rebelious Alvarez, to sag nothing of the
costly pageantries to celebrate the bloodless victo
RIGS won, have pretty efectuatiy exhausted Santa
Annals exchequer, and il is stated that he has in adj
vance pawned three millions Of the ten guaranteed
by the treaty. There is, therefore, doubt Of his
acceptance Of the terms. But we shall ascertain
with greater certainty how acceptable the aforesaid
item of ten millions may beSto Congress when the
scrutiny Of Col. Benton's investigating committee
upon various trifing matters connected with this
negotiation Is made public.
This morning continue the publication Of TIE
important paper on the rights of neutra;s coTa-
menced yesterday. BY attentive pcrusai The

subject which IL at this time one Of the utmost in
tercst tx view of the part country may DC called
apon to take in support of lie rights in the war
pending.

The new Baptist church in Twenty third 0tseet
was dedicated yesterday and several sermons
preached on the occasion
we give elsewhere q lurDt OF eAIraClS IRON pa
pers in various sections Of he country which will
further indicate the prospects Of the coming crops
All agree that the season is unusually backward,
and in some localities it isrep-esented to be month
behind; but we cannot soc sfhat the crops will be
materially affected thereby and we think the eX-
tracts fully warrant the prediction that the coming
autumn will produce to the farmer abundant har
vest.
