SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS.

The Union sets at rest the roorback Of our
truthful and talented neighbor, wherein ION
the 1lth inst that Journal said that Senator
Brodhead had declared that Buchanan could
not carry Pennsylvania. Senator B. was not
even in Washington when this story concern
ing him was got up. Of course there is not a
shadow of truth about it. The Union also
contains a letter from General James Watson
Webb, replying to the editors recent article
showing that General WIS connection with
the Graves and Cilley duel concerning words
spoken in debate, made him very improper
person, indeed, to be lecturing against the
idea Of holding member of Congress response
bic elsewhere for assaults upon individuals in
either hall of Congress. In this letter Gen.
W. denies that he sought to fight Mr.. Cilley
for what the latter took occasion to say about
him. The Union republishes the correspon-
dence and history of the affair, and thus proves
that the General is the victim of an atrocious
bad memory, indeed.

GEORGETOWN, June Is, 1856.
Our city continues unusually healthy, so
much so that one Of our leading physicians
remarked to us yesterday morning, that he
could easily attend to every patient of all the
faculty himself. Everything in the way of
politics, too, as yet remains very quiet, and
will doubtless SO continue until after the Demo
cratic ratification meeting which is soon to
come of, probably next week. Business is
steady, but not active. This state of things
among our business men is usual at this sea.
son OF the year, and will continue until after
harvest, when general revival will occur.
1t serves good purpose, however; it gives our
merchants and numerous millers an Opportu.
nifty to overhaul, repair. and renovate their
mills and storehouses, SO as to be in readiness
for the tall trade. In the meantime we would
advise all who may desire to keep themselves
and clerks busy to advertise in the Star.

rural grandeur not surpassed by any portion
OF any city in the Union. The magnificent

the fine ornamental shade trees, which adorns
almost every portion Of them, together with
the many stately palaces, fine water, and the

desirable place Of resort for the denizens of the
business portions Of our city during the heat

On Monday afternoon, as the driver of one
of the drays belonging to the Washington
