HENRY A. WISE.

This gentleman, who is now in Washington,
has caused to be published In the Richmond
Enquirer an elaborate letter from his pen on
the subject of know Nothingism, in which he
reviews the whole Of our public (nationaD his
tory as bearing upon religious equality under
the government of the United States, and upon
the naturalization question. This paper, which
nearly fills whole page of the Enquirer, is
the sblest document We have ever read from
under his hand; which is saying much for it,
Indeed. He is utterly and uncompromisingly
opposed to secret combinations to connect re-.
hsion with politics in this country, and ar
cues with great power and ability to show
that they are directly in opposition to all the
principles Of Americsnism, the Constitution
and the Laws, and that they are more dan
gerous to the liberties of oRr country than
sugAt else ever attempted in connection with
American politics. Whether the reader may
agree or disagree with Mr.. Wise, all will frd
In the paper in question most interesting
absorbing document, full of learning, sarcasm,
Wit, and logic. 1t will, probably, be publish
ed and re-published in all quarters of the
country. So 1t will shortly be within the
reach of every one, and will, doubtless be as
extensively read as anything ever written in
the United States.

The New Steamer Louisiana.

Tho Baltimore and Norfolk Steam Packet
Company, Of which Moore N. Falls Is Presi-
dent, have just built and tried new steam
ship for their Chesapeake Bay route. She
has been named the " Louisiana" and will be
commanded by Captain George W. Russell,
long commander In the bay line, and one of
the most popular and skilful officers that ever
sailed out Baltimore. The new steamer mea-
sures over ], 100 tons, and is 275 feet long, 500
horse power, and IS feet diameter Of wheel.
There are 20 state-rooms, with the Presidents
room, bridal chambers, and other accommo-
dations for 500 sleepers Ten rooms with
double bedstesds and baths, have been set
apart specially for families The painting is
white and gold. While she may be com.
msnded as floating palace, it is agreeable
to remark what has been often said with truth,
that neither life nor limb has ever been lost in
twenty years on this safe, prompt, and plea
SAINT route on which the new ship is soon to
take her place. It Is said that on her tri al
trip, day before yesterday, the new steamer
made Is miles per hour.

SPIRIT OF TAR MORNING pRRss.

SPIRIT OF THk MORNING PRESS.
The InteIltgencer quotes Senator Shields to
prove that the friends of the Nebraska bill at
the West contend, not only that it is right In
principle, but that its operation will initiate
against, rather than In favor of, the extension
Of slavery.
The Union joins issue with the Charleston
Msreary upon the question of the propriety
Of tho slave trade, and, while using up that
journals arguments, compliments the editor
for the straightforward manliness with which
he meets the questions involved In their con-
troversy. The same paper rebukes the men
daoity of some Of the New York city presses,
~ manifested by their failure to acknowledge
the injustice done Mr. Belmont by their false
publications, charging him with following the
banking business at the Hague The organ
also contains an article from tho Philadelphia
Episcopal Recorder, refuting the roorback
against the Rev. Clement M. Butler late of this
city, retailed by the editor of the New York
P'e<-Scovill-in his pretended account of
the last hours Of Mr.. Calhoun. In this con.
nsction we have to add merely, that for those
Who know this Mr.. Scovill, NO such contra
oiction OF bis SANDER was necessary.

FOREIGN CoAL-RnPEAL THE Duty Oh
CoAL-A petition to Congress for the repeal
Of the duty on foreign coal has been placed in
the Boston Merchants Exchange, and has al
ready received large number of signatures.
The following is the language of the petition,
and tersely expresses the sentiments of the
whole people:
10 the Honorable Senate and House Of Rep-
resentatives of the United States:
The undersigned people of the United States
and residents Of Boston, in the State of Masss-
ch1setts, respectively petition your honorab
bodies to repeal all duties now existing by law
upon the introduction Of foreign Goals.
Recent action of the most prominent coal
operators in the country has demonstrated the
improperly Of further protection of an inter
est abundantly able to take care of itself; and
your petitioners represent that an Immediate
repeal OF the existing burthensome National
Coal Tax would be hailed with satisfaction BY
every GLASS Of the community not directly in.
terested in speculative combination to raise
the price of coal.

why the Plan OF operations were Changed.
Vice Admiral Hamelin thus explains, in a
dispatch to his government, the cause of the
change Of plan of operations by the allied
generals:
1t was on the 23d of September that was
enabled to inform tho Marshal Of the desper.
ate determination to which the Russians had
come, OF sinking, at the entrance of their port
OF SeVastopol, five ships of the-line and two
frlgates, only retaining in the interior of that
port nine ships, two Of them three.deckers,
which, according to the account given by
Polish sailors who had deserted, they meant
to deal with in the same way when once as
sured Of the capture of Sevastopol
This news which the Marshal could not
avoid characterizing as deplorable in more
than one point of view, tended to modify his
plans OF attack. In fact, it was to a certain
extent admitted that when once Fort Constan.
tine was taken, and the batteries raised at the
northern part Of the fort were carried, the
fleet then bearing upon the port and destroy
ing barricades, would not only finish the work
Of the army by attacking the batteries of the
south, but would be able to give some assist
ance to that army, whatever might be the
wea. her and the season in the pert of Sevas-
topol itself. The blocking up Of tho port.
therefore, entirely changed the aspect of things,
and as, besides, external works had recently
been raised round Fort Constantine to render
the approaches as difficult Is they were fatal,
the denersls-in- Chief decided upon turning
sevastopol by the east and throwing them
selves upon the south Of the town to attack 1t
upon that side, which was scarcely defended.
or entirely undefended, after they had placed
themselves In communication with tho fleets
at Balaklava, and obtained provisions and
munitions.

the determination of tho President and his

Indictments under the sub-Treasury Law.
We understand that three indictments under
the penal CLAUSE of the Sub-Treasury law, are
pending in Ohio. Ono against J. Il. FORSYTH,
late collector at Maumee; another against G.
L. Russell, late collector at Cleveland; and
the third against G. K. Smith, late Territorial
Secretary of Minnesota. We have every reason
to believe that the indictment of the last named,
Mr.. Smith, arose out Of Misrepresentation of
some portion Of the instructions of the Treasury
Department, which certainly imsgines that
Mr.. S. will take an carly opportunity to settle
his accounts with the the United States, with
out compelling the enforcement of the penal
clause of the Sub Treasury law in his case.
