SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS.

The Union quotes Andrew Jackson Donel-
son, deliberately, to prove that Willard Fill
more made a very sorry President, indeed ;
and reviews the recent electiOneering tour of
Col Benton in Missouri, concluding that he
has very essentially used himself up by his
violence, malisnity, and unscrupulousness
manifested upon it.
The IHtelIigencsr announces las a rumor in
which it places cOnfdence) the removal of
Wilson Shannon, Governor of Kansas, and the
appointment of Maj. j. W. Geary, of Califor-
MIA We have been anticipating this change
for some time. but did not feel at liberty to
make any publication concerning it in advance
of the Governments action. Major Geary
greatly distinguished himself during the Mex
lean war: more especially as a military gov
ernor. He was frequently so employed in the
enemy's territory, and is regarded as having
managed such duties far better than any other
OF the many American gentlemen who were
called on to exercise civil jurisdiction in Mex
leo. If his selection should not prove for
tunate one, we shall believe that it is, in the
present condition of the Territory, utterly i'm
possible for any living man to govern it salts
factorily.

POLITICAL ITEMS.

The fusionists claim Minnesota for Fremont.
None OF the Territories will vote for Buchsn-
an, but he will get pretty much all the States.
A private dispatch says that Col. Benton has
abandoned his engagements in northern and
northwestern Missouri, and FASTENED to St.
Louis to electioneer for Mr. Blair for Congress.
Washington Hunt comes out in letter de-
claring his intention to vote for Fillmore
Hon. Daniel d Barnard, of Albany, has ale o
written a strong Fillmore letter.
We see by our exchanges that a new Ger
man paper has been started at Dubuque, Iowa
called the Dubuque National Democrat, with
the names Of Buchanan and Breckenridge at
its masthead.
The American State Executive Council of
Ohio have resolved to hold q grand mass
meeting of the friends of Mr.. Fillmore at Co
lumbus on Wednesday, the 11th of September
next. Among the resolutions passed by the
Executive Committee is one recommending the
members Of the American Party to avoid all
fusion Of every description, and support their
nomination, regardless Of success or defeat.
Those $1,000 wagers offered through the
Saratoga Republican that Buchanan will be
the next President Of the United States, il he
lives, have not been responded to yet, and
We venture to say they will not be approached,
notwithstanding the fact, that whenever the
question is asked where are the confidence

according to rumor, are so anxious to bet on
the success Of their dark cause.-The answer
invariably is, ''they have gone to the springs"

The District School Bills Almost every
member Of both Houses of Congress processes

lar education, which is but another name for

cur own country, as we'll as abroad Most of
them (tEe membeIs) are doubtless sincere in
making such professions, and would gladly
prove their sincerity on all passing occasions.
The chairmen Of both District Committees (of
the House and Senate) have prepared with
great care and after laboriOus Investigation
bills to place the common school systems of
the District Of Columbia-Mr Brown that of
the City and Georgetown, and Mr.. Meacham
that of the III raj portion of the District-on a
footing that will do credit to the enlightment
of great Government in man aging the con-
Germs Of its peculiar ward. That the kind re-
gard Of the Government in this matter is
necessary, arises from the fact that its i'm

Columbia does not pay dollar of direct taxes

the burden Of all of them being upon the citi.
Zens.
We believe that, in their hearts, however
much honorable members may be displeased
with some portion of the people here or mat
tsrs connected with them, they wish the in
habitants of the District of Columbia well
and in their reflective moments would sooner
do them an act Of kindness than not. That
can be done by agreeing on a day upon
which to take up the bills to which we refer
above in both Houses
Nothing is more necessary for the future of
tie Governments interest here than that the
population Of the District of Columbia shall
be as enlightened and advanced as possible :;
and it remains with Congress to determine
whether they will second the Iabors to that
end CT those members in whose charge they
have specially placed this, among all the
subject-matters appertaining to the cOnnec-
ton Of the National Legislature with District
of Columbia affairs.

The last Sunday eclipsed all its hot prede.
cessors. If ever people roasted, We did on
that day
News continues scarce, and matters in gen.
eral dull.
Passengers for the South, we are glad to see,
are beginning to come to Alexandria the over
night and thus save themselves from being
reused at an unreasonable hour to be ready to
start They can rise at a moderate hour,
have ample time for breakfast, and then take
the train for their journey. More efficient and
accommodating hosts, than the proprietors of
the Alexandria hotels, are not to be found
anywhere
The Orange train brought down last Satur-
day 800 bushels Of wheat, $50 bushels of
corn, $40 bushels of oats, so bushels of rye,
20 barrels Of new -four, and Is cords of wood.
Enough burden for one train.

After further discussion and amendment of
the said bill, the Committee rose and reported
it back to the House.
Mr.. Campbell, Of Ohio, moved the previous
question on agreeing to the said amendments,
which being seccnded and the main question

In the Senate, to-day, the bill to authorize
the Postmaster General to cause experiments
to be made to test the applicability of the at
mospheric telegraph for the transportation OF
the mails was rejected-yeas IA, nays %.
Various reports, memorials, &C., were then
disposed Of
Mr.. Jones, of Iowa, moved to take up the
House bill for the improvement Of the Des
MONIES Rapids of the Mississippi; and the
question Was being taken on that motion as
the Star went to press.
In the House, they proceeded to consider
the various amendments adopted in Committee
of the Whole on the State Of the Union to the
army appropriation; and all of them to which
no objection was made were agreed to without
q division.
The question then arose on agreeing to the
amendment of Mr.. Barbour repeating the
laws Of the Territorial Legislature of Kan

Mr.. Cobb. rising to a point of order, con.
tended that the fact that the amendment came
from the Committee of tho Whole did not
make it german to the bill, and, therefore, in

some length by Messrs. Cobb of Georgia for
it, and Stanton and Giddings against it.
Mr.. G. then withdrew mis- point of order,
