CT The Washington correspondent of the Boston Traveller, writing on the 25th ult., says
 "Senator Douglas appeared in his seat to- day, for the first time this session. The great est possible improvement Is visible in his ap- pearance since his marriage. Last winter he wore ill-uimmed whiskers, long hair turned down collar, secdy dress coat, and had q deci- delly shabby look. Now, his face is clean shaved, his collar stands stiff and glossy; his linen looks decidedly respectable; he wears his hair much shorter than usual; and to crown all, he appears in new suit of black, a neat fitting frock, instead of the shabby old dress coat, and looks about ten years younger than ever. On coming into the senate chamber he was congratulated by all, and by none more warmly than by his political opponents"

we affirm rothing aud deny nothing. We
arc too far away, and know too little Of the
circumstances with which he was surroun-
ded, TO DO n competent Judge Of his conduct
in matter SO nice as this.
But there nra certain considerations
which will insure Gov. Walker n Just IL not
a kind judgement from every fair-minded
man, especially in the SoutE. A Southern
man himself, he has been a uniform and
consistent champion Of Southern rights
The EXTREMIST men Of that section pressed
him upon Mr.. Buchanan for the highest
place in his Cabinet He is, besides, an
able, far-seeing and sagacious statesman,
as little likely as any other in the country
to impale himself on point Of mere piu-
dence. This alone might raise psesup-
ton that be neither did harm nor intended
any to Southern interests. But when we
see iu addition to this that he IS actively
cooperating with the Democratic party in
Kansas, including all the Pro-Slavery men
in the Territory when we find his whole
course sustained BY the Pro-Slavery press
es there; when we hear no complaint what
ever from tho quarters whence complaint
ought to come, if there we're any causes for
it, we are constrained TO think that the
Georgia and Mississippi Democracy have
pronounced their judgment rather hastily.
Gov. Walker is Southern man; he has
been sent out by an Administration pledged
to the defence of Southern rights; he is sur
rounded by corps Of officers, most Of them
from tho South, and every ono ofthem nation
al men; he was instructed to regard the
Territorial authorities as legal, and sustain
them against the rebellion of the Topeka
, Abolitionists: he is acting in concert with
the South, and gallantly fighting their enc
mics. We cannot help but think that such
a man, so sent, so instructed, so surrounded
and so acting, is entitled to sympathy, CON-
fort, and aid from the South whenever
they can be given with a conscientious re-
gard to truth. With such a battle raging
+ in his 'front.' it was harsh and ungracious tc

Luuasio Asylum burned.

UTICA, July IA.
For two hours now the flames have been
making sad havoc at the New York State
Lunatic Asylum in this city. The fire was
discovered about u O. clock this morning
on tho southwest corner of the main build
ing. 1t is supposed that q chimney drop
ped sparks there. The flames spread first
to the cupola and burst up in grand column.
1t then burned downwards, consuming
all that was combustible in the main bull
ding, and now threatens to consume the
whole eastern wing.
Water conveniences on the premises were
quite insufficient. Streams were turned on
but they were not heavy enough to overcome
the flames. Some 500 patients were in
the rear of the building. The loss cannot
be less than 100000. DR.. s. F. Ross
was seriously, if not fatally burned. He
was engaged in fighting the flames and re-
moving property in the highest story when
the timber fell and fastened him. Nearly
all the surface Of his body was burned to
crisp.
The fire at the Asylum to-day has been
subdued. That part Of the building occu-
pied by the patients was little damaged and
mono of the patients were injured. No ad-
ditional accommodation will be required for
them Immediately, and one of the attend
ing physicians says they will be all as COM
Portable by tomorrow night as they were
before the fire.
That part of tho front Of the Asylum
which was Immediately behind tho colonade
and which was occupied by tho resident
physicians and which contained the dining
room, chapel, DC, was destroyed by fire.
