They are headed BY Ex-Governor BarstOw.
GEN. LANES PROSPECTS.
Gen. Lanes friends left this evening. They are
very sapguine of his nomination, in the event of
Mr. Douglass defeat
MR.. DOUGLASS PROSPECTS.
The first business of all other candidates is to
kill Mr.. Douglas. THE TmBUSE's table, giving
him 40 on the first ballot, called forth curses
from the anti. Douglas both loud AID deep On
the other hand, the Douglas men say the estimate
is too low. They coust on few more
THE PRESIDENTS LETTER TO MIR. WALKER.
The publication of Mr.. Walkers testimony, and
the Presidents letter to him. in the New-fOrk
papers this morning, affords the mOst lively salts
faction to the Douglas men. They say it settles
the question Of Platforms and what constituted the
Democracy on the Territorial question, july II,
1851.
THE HOUSE.
The House again refused to adjourn over. II is
doubtful whether quorum viii remain even for
business on the private calendar. Many members
leave for the North in the morning who are paired
with CharlestOnites.
THE MEXICAN REGIMENT.
The appropriation for MIR. Wigfau's mounted
regiment Of volunteers hangs suspended in the
House between a passage aud reconsideration.
II viii probably fail there, as members think 1t more
economical to mount some Of the infantry, or add
mounted regiment to the regular army. Sons do
not fancy the expenditure of 81 100000 just upon
the eve of Presidential campaign in the purchase
Of horses and materials, and in the payment OF
voters.

THE CORRUPTION INVESTIGATION.
| hear that great number Of most prominent
Democratic politicians, here and elsewhere, are to
be subpenaed to appear before the Covode Com
mttee.
DELEGATES TO THE CHARLESTON CONVENTION.
1t had been supposed that nearly al of the Dem
ocratc politicians bound for Charleston had
reached here and were gone, but the trains to-day
bring in fresh swarm, with the promise of
"more a-coming." A gentleman from Indiana in-
forms me that there will be some $50 persons at
Charleston from that State, q fact which fore
shadows q large attendance from all the North
west.
Mr.. Douglass Southern friends here feel that if
the delegates to Charleston could be elected in all
the country tomorrow, his strength would be
greatly in advance Of what it now lie; that If they
were elected upon the present basis OF population,
instead Of that Of ten years since, he would
overcome the fire eating bulysm Of Disunionists,
Der Sc, at the South, as well the puslanimty of
treachery that exisis in the East. Even as things
are, if ais own friends in the North were OF the
Col. Lander type of Northern Democrats, his NOM
nation would be insured now. For my own part,
believe that be is to be slaughtered at Charleston
Mess1s. GEiD, Slidel, Bayard, Bragg, aud other

Of bieh officials who are already on the spot. 1t
REQUIRES o prophet to fOretell their mission. Gen.
Gushing mas also concluded to leave tomorrow.
MORE ABOUT MR.. BUCHANAN.
It's stated that Messrs. Van Dixie Rice, and
Others, viii reveal before the CovOde Committee
correspondence of the President more damaging
than that first published. But the game is no longer
worth the powder. The evidences Of Mr.. Buchan-
ans dupcity in politics are in the breeches pockets
OF very many men.
MR.. DOUGLAS Ar THE SOUTH.
have 10 reiterate that the Presidents position
of urging ultra SOutherners 70 require the nOmina
ton Of one of their Owl men, has cOmPacted and
hardened nearly all the personal elements South
against Mr.. Douglas. The partizan friends OF each
Southern candidate have brought themselves to an
ticipate bis succees either as first or second
choice. Thus they viii keep up voting against Mr.
Douglas until such time as is SIT down 10 the pro-
gramme, when q division shall DO made for Joe.
Lane and not for Mr.. Breckenridge, because Mf.
Buchanan cannot consent TO the idea that while ne
is to be dropped, tho gentleman who ran as second
to him shall now come forward as first.
