SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS

The IutsLigsncer quotes the alleged partic-
ula,s Of a proposition from this Government
to England, through Mr.. Dallas, for joint
protectorate over San Juan del Norte as free
and independent port, and also over the Mus

dorses as one that should be accepted.
The Union contains able letters from Hon
Msssrs. Watkins, of Tenn., and Whitfield, Of
Kansas, to their constituents. The former
avows himself, though Wing, supporter of
Buchanan and Breckenridge. We also find in
the Union note from Hon. VIM. A-Richard.

of settling their current nderstsnding by
an exchange of shots, have been in this city
some three days past-in cog, Of course; and,
further, that a meeting, to come of about
noon to-day In this vicinity, had been ar
ranged, and that tho parties had escaped be-
yond the reach of our local police, to keep the
engagement. We believe that Chas. Irving,
Esq, of the Lynchburg V,reimian, acts as
the second of Mr.. Pryor, and James NJ Cog

gin, of Va, as that of Mr.. Ridgeway.
The Season.-The rains of the last few days
have been blessings to millions of us in town
and country. While they have most agreeably
tempered the atmosphere, they have gone to
the roots of all crops growing, which were
furnishing, indeed, for water. All accounts
reaching us represent that these rains came,
wherever they reached, just in the nick of
time for the farmer. In some portions of Vir.
ginia the chinch.bug had almost destroyed the
corn crop. Even there they will greatly in
crease the otherwise almost totally destroyed
yield of that most essential necessary of life
in this section of the United States.

Waukegan, Illinois, having been rejected.
In the House, the following bills were
passed, viz: the bills to incorporate the Ben.
cole Gas Light Company for the relief of the
Columbia Harmony Society of the District of
Columbia to establish library for young
men in the District of Columbia, with an
amendment incorporating the Columbia EN-
glne) Library Company to extend the juris-
diction of tho Corporation of Washington
over the lower Eastern Branch bridge, and to
regulate travel over the upper (Benning's)
Eastern Branch bridge; to authorize the Cir
cult Court for the District of Columbia to de-
cree the sale of real estate in certain cases !;
to amend the charter of Georgetown, d. c. !;
and the bill to provide for the public instruc-
ton OF youths IN primary schools throughout
the limits of the Corporations of Washington

The following District of Columbia bills
were rejected, viz: Bill to incorporate the
Washington Mutual Building Association :;
bill to incorporate an Insurance Company in
the city of Washington and the bill to repeal
so much of the act of March Sd, 1855, as pro-
vIdss for the erection of an Armery in the city

DEAR SIR: I hasten to reply to the note

o'clock this morning. --.,s-..
returned to the city, 1 gave him written
statement of the facts in regard to my con-
nexion with his difference" with Colonel
Brooks, having previously shown to you that
portion of the same which recites the SUBJ
stance of our conversation when delivered to
you Mr.. Burlingame's note, and having made
such alterations as your memory suggested
1t will be remembered that at the time you
said the place was inconvenient, 1 replied that
the note was responsive to the call, and that
you had not then conferred with Colonel
Brooks on the subject, thought then, and
still think, that any objection to the place
should have been in writing, and had reason
to believe that you entertained the same opin-
ion, from the fact that when We separated you
said you would have an interview with Col
Brooks, and would deliver to me on the next
day any communication he might deem it
proper to make.
No communication was handed to me, and
the only knowledge impaired to me or to Mr..
Burlingame Of Col. BrookS'S dtssatssfactioaa
as to THE place designated came through the
public press.
Colonel Brooks and Mr.. Burlingame having
both announced to the public that the matter
was at an end, my authority necessarily
ceased when handed to the latter nv state
ment of the Goth. 1 therefore respectfully
return your note, in order that you may take
such steps to communicate with Mr.. BurIin-
game as you may deem proper

the purpose of collecting their mining licenses
volunteered his services 10 show the Sheriff
where there was quite a school of them, provi-
ded the Sheriff would pay him. The bargain
was soon made, and enough the Digger
gentleman led the Sheriff to gronp. from whom
he collected many dollars. These fellows will
become valuable auxilaries, but whether the
Know Nothing legislature should make them Of

we will leave to legislative wisdom to decide
