SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS

The Intefiisenesr, in copying from Hunts
Merchants Magazine an article on the sources
of commerce that lie in the AMOR river and
its Siberian tributaries takes occasion to say
that
"Prior 10 the settlement of California, we were
accustomed to look upon the great reg ions of
siberia, Manchooria, and Mongolia as placed
almost entirely beyond the reach or limits of our
commercial Intercourse, but now that our ports
on the Pacific are within thirty days' sail OF the
ports of Asia, and now that Russia has deter
mined to open to trade the vast tracts drained by
the sources OF the AMOR. there are not wanting
those who venture to predict that the develop
ment Of this Siberian trade is destined to pro-
duce In the end as great a revolution I'm the COM
mercial world as sprang from the discovery of
Hope'
The Union rejoices over the result of the
California election. In another article, no
ticing that this is the morning on which Forney,
of the Philadelphia Press, proposes to publish
crushing assault upon the Administration of
Mr.. Buchanan, it says:
''Fascile is the descent to depravity when
once embarked on the road and IL is natural TO
expect that Mr. Forney will sound day the
neither depths OF the 'baseness' which his morals
were unable TO fathOm At TarrytOwn
" The fabrication of private conversation
which was never held with the President of the
Cnlteo safes, and the forgery Of days cabinet
proceedings which never occurred, were feats
successfully performed by Forney at Tarrytown
lt remains TO be seen whether he can accomplish
To- day, performances still more infamous than
those. The publication OF any genuine private
correspondence which he may have ever had with
members of the Administration, base as the
act would he and damaging to any but name

WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP.

VIRGINIA PoLIrIcs.-The New York Her
aid is again at fault in representing that there
exists serious Democratic differences In Viz
ginia. 1t will be recollected that months ago
the Herald represented that the idIosyncracies
of Governor Wise upon the Kansas question
and the United States Senatorial question,
were about to prevail in the Virginia Legisla-
ture and that when that body came to vote
upon them, it was found that the Star was cor
rect in asserting-long before-that they were
positively without supporters there. True, two
or three windy and now VIGOROUSLY unreliable
Virginia Democratic papers THAT invariably
cough when the Governor sneezes in the pri
vacy Of his Office ROOM made noise enough in
favor of his pro-Douglas positions to create on
the minds of the INITIATED the idea that there
was a whirlwind of excitement throughout the
State in favor of the Governors views; but
the result proved that the tempest did not
rage outside of the teapot. On looking closely
into the signs of the times, the Herald will
perceive that its terrible commotion about the
Virginia Democratic Gubernatorial nomination
exists only in that same ever-boiling teapot,
with, we believe, but three newspaper-spouts
out of which the great quantity of waste steam
it evolves, escapes. Though doing business in
Washington, we spend at least half our time,
weekly, in the interior of Virginia, and meet
there Democrats from every portion of the
State; and in the last three months we have
not heard q single difference of preference ex-
pressed by any of them upon the subject of
their approaching nomination, though the vir.
ulent and unjustifable assaults on the Hon.
John Letcher by the three Democratic journals
that are whistling against the wind in bis case
so vehemently and violently, are the theme of
universal conversation among them.
When Thomas Richie welded the destinies
ofthe Richmond Enquirer, its word may be said
to have been almost % law with the Virginia
Democracy; the result Of their experience of
near fifty years with the sagacity, imperson-
ality and reliability of its Democracy under his
auspices 1t has taken the present conductors of
that journal but few short months to write il
apparently out of the confidence of the party
in the Old Dominion, however honestly and pa
triotically they may have expressed their senti-
ments-their likes and their dislikes-and there
is no reason whatever to fancy that in setting
up their own opinions against what is the al
most unanimous opinion of the party in Vir-
ginia with reference to the course of Stephen
Arnold Douglas and the reliability of that best
tried and ever faithful Virginia statesman-of
all now on the stage Of public life-Johp
Letcher, they have been actuated by sinister
motives. They are evidently gentlemen of en-
thusiastic temperaments, who make up in zeal
for their peculiar opinions, what they lack of the
political sagacity and discretion which so pre-
eminenty distinguished the veteran Richie s
conduct of the Enquirer.

APPROvED.-We learn that the sale by the
Christian Indians, of the Delaware tribe, of
four sections of land granted to them by the
United States, has been confirmed The right
to sell this land was conferred upon the grant
ees by an act of Congress, approved June Sth,
1858. The sale was made in May, 1857, for
the sum of 400, subject to the action of
Congress. The proceeds of the sale are d.
rected by the act of June, 1858, to be applied
to the purchase of permanent home for said
Indians, and the erection thereon of suitable
buildings, &c, which purchases are to be made
under the direction of the Secretary of the In
terror, who is likewise authorized to safely in
vest whatever residue there may be Of the
funds for the benefit Of the Indians.

country last winter, with a view to the con-
struction of a screw ine-of-battle ship for the
Sultan, had returned home. In his report, be
expresses himself in the most grateful terms TO-
wards the Government and people of the United
States. Of the Secretary of the Navy (Mr
Toucey) and his assistant he speaks in terms of
warm praise. No disappointment about the
vessel is expressed. Neither before his depar-
ture nor since his return have they expressed
the expectation that the American Government
was " to have made a contract for "A for the
Sultan"
