WASHINGTON ITEMS.
The Washington correspondent of the Balti
more Sun says:
al learn, reliably, that Judge Douglas viii
Immediately depart for Illinois, for the purpose
of thoroughly stumping the State, precedent te
the fall election. The keynote to the character
of his canvass may be inferred from the fac
that in the Senate he denounced the Admins
tration for the acts of one its sppointees there
to whom was attributed full power in respect te
patronage, and also for the alleged coquettine
between the Anti. Douglas Democrats and the
Republicans"
The attack of Mr.. Douglas upon the Admin
istration alluded to was made on Friday last, in
the Senate's extra session.
The Star of this city says:
ave point to the inaugural address and sub
segment message of the new Mayor of Washing
ton, delivered yesterday, for conclusive confirm
alton of the propriety of the Stars appeals, fol
months past, for different state Of things here
80 far as protection to property and life is con
cerned. His appeals to the Councils mentioned
above are worthy of the great interests, the safe
ty of which he is supposed to hold in the hollow
of his hand though whether he is to be justly
responsible for the future peace and good gov.
eminent of the Federal Metropolis, will depend
much, indeed, on the fact whette the Councils
do or do not listen to his suggestions, and &C.
cord to him the means necessary, in his judg.
ment, to eonsummate the ends all good citizens
of all parties sincerely desire to see accom-.
plished.
Beyond all question, for six months past,
lawlessness has ruled here with higher and
more vindictive, merciless, dangerous, and de.
structive hand, than ever before"
What we want is, that justice be impartially
administered to every man in the city,
There seems to be difference of opinion be.
tween Gov. Cumming and General Johnston, as
to the sincerity of Brigham Young. Brigham
Young appears to have satisfied the former of
his peaceful intentions, while the latter has no
confidence in them. The latter is reported to
have forwarded dispatches from Camp Scott,
i've days later than those from the former at
Salt Lake, in which it is said that no confidence
can be placed in the Mormons, and that they
are actually arming and terrifying themselves
for defence.
1t was in consequence of this last despatch,
we are told, that General Scott was summoned
to Washington, and that he is now engaged in
giving additional efficiency to the army orders
for Utah. Those who credit General Johnston's
staten emit think the President acted very hastily
in his Peace Proclamation.

deaux; Gov. Wight of Indiana, Minister at Der.
lin; john p. Stockton, of New Jersey, Minister

The President is perplexed by the conflicting
news from Utah, it is said, and repents his peace

A letter-writer says
1.-THE report that M. Belly has actually CON
cluded contract With the Nicaraguan Govern.
ment, by which the latter has conceded to the
French Government, or to company in
France, which il under the protection of the
Government, finds credit here and elsewhere
1t is not improbable, inasmuch as Louis Napo
leon had, for q long time, cherished the project
of immortalizing his name by connecting it
with the colonization of this isthmus. While
in prison at Havre, he corresponded with Mr.
Mercoletta on the subject, and strongly express
ed his desire and intention to undertake the
work. The time is exceedingly favorable to
his purpose, for he is at peace with all Europe,
and begins to find it necessary to start some
new public project for the qualification of the
French people and the employment of the
French marine, and give profitable direction
to French speculation and enterprise"
The President has been in bad health part
of the last week, bnt has recovered.
1t is reported that $sO,OOO,OOO will hardly
