Mr.. Buehannn,s Troubles-Uneasy
Times at Washinzton.


The Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia Press gives the following ac-
count of BUCHANAN's troubles:
WASHINGTON, July 3. 1860.
While everything else seems to be in re-
pose the official axe is glittering in the sun,
and moving with renewed rapidity. The
gallant Carol, of Tennessee, delegate to
tue Charleston aud Baltimore Conventions,
who voted for Stephen A. Douglas through
out, and who is postmaster at Memphis, was
yesterday morning summarily removed, and
his place filled by Seeessionist- 1t is stated
Mr.. III. NJ. North, of Lancaster county. Pa,
has secured the valuable prize OF special mail
agent for New York for has subserviency.-
The name of Marshal Rynders. of New York,
is also on the list of the doomed. Nor mercy
Is to be shown. In the Northwest the pro-
scription will he sweeping-the difficulty in
that part of the country being, however, that
there are few Democrats who can be found
willing to take the places made vacant by
the Washington despotism.
A bitter feud has grown up between Hon.
VIM. NJ Gwin, Senator from California, and
the President and Postmaster General. ON
account of the failure of the Government to
provide facilities for carrying the general
mail to the Pacific. The disgust and indig-
nation of Gwin are said to be intense. He
thinks if the President had devoted himself
TO the Pacific Railroad, and to the impor-
tant duty of sending relief to the people OF
Oregon and California in matters which con-
cerned their leading and vital interests, In
stead of sending out his bloOdhounds to hunt
independent men, it weuld have been better
alike for the country and for the fame OF the
the Democratic party. The election for SEN
ator from California soon comes off, and Gwin
is terrible anxious. He has shaved and in
trjgued. and now that the Postmaster-Gen-
eral refuses. either to satisfy Horace f.
CIark's father-in-law, Vanderbilt, or Gwin
himself, to put on the ocean mail service to
California, he finds his well-lald schemes
frustrated. There is some apprehension en-
tertained in Administration quarters, there
fore. that Gwin may declare for Douglas.
inst at the moment this breach took place
between Gwiu and the President came the
unexpected intelligence that Gen. Lane would
nrobabIy be defeated for reelection as United
States Senator from Oregon.
The town INDUCED in hearty laugh at
the expense of Brigadier General George
Washington Bowman, of the Constitution, now
the Disunion organ of the President and the
Vice President. The Constitution advocates
Breckenridge, and the Democratic paper in
Bowman's own county of bedford, Pa, hOists
the Douglas flag. Bowman is in a sad pre-
dicament and would give anything in reason,
but money out of his own pocket, to escape |
the responsibility of helping to maintain
devoted to the overthrow of the
Union, and of covering himself with digrace |
at the same time-but the President is re- |
solved to hold him to his trust. 1t is charged |
that Bowman has made some thirty thousand |
dollars clear within the last six months, and |
bis masters will expect him to spend the best |
part of that in keeping up the COzlstit'ti0z
Meanwhile, the British editor, Browne, is |
also anxious to escape the sinking ship, and |
it is not doubted that. few days ago, he had |
his valedictory written, but by some means |
DR. other, it was cOuntermanded.
