Another Acquisition OF verrItory.

MIR. Seward has q rival Under date OF Sep
tember 30, Captain william Reynolds, of the
United States steamer LacSawanna, reports to
Rear Admiral Thatcher that on the 28th of Au-
gust in obedience to his Instructions, he took
formal possession of Brooks Island for the
United States DIR. Kennedy, the surgeon of
the DackawRnna, made an examination of the
new territory. He reports it to consist of two
distinct coral islands, surrounded by barren
reef The soil is thin, producing only low
shrubs herbs and coarse grasses, but with cul
tlvation IL can be made to yield potatoes, peas
beans, and perhaps other vegetables.
Wells were dug by the exploring partp, and
water found at depth of from four to seven
feet After filtration this water proved to be
hard and free from organic impurities in solu-
ton. DIR. Kennedy is satisfied that by digging
10 proper depth q good supply of potable
water can be obtained The island is great
resort Of sea birds. but very little guano was
found. The lagoon swarms with fish.
"Welles Harbor" is a little larger than that Of
Honolulu-safer, but has less depth of water; at
low water the depth varies from twenty-one to
sixteen feet IL can be readily entered by ves-
sels drawing less than eighteen feet Vessels Of
deep draught must lie in Seward Roads, picking
their anchorage.
There are two reasons for thanking Captain
Reynolds for annexing this island. It affords
astSsttOn which the Pacific Mail Steamship Com
pany need; and secondly, there is no question
OF purchase money, The captain dates his re-
port latitude % deg. 35 min. N, longitude l5j
deg. p min. W." We presume this will indi-
cate to nautical men the situation of the island.
The captain writes that he intends to annex
other islands But first, find your island.

lsPLCfAL DESPATCH TO EVENING TELEGRAPH
WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.
The National Inteligencer this morning has q
very significant editorial upon the subject OF
the Alabama claims, supposed to be inspired by
Secretary Seward. After showing that the nego-
tiations had now reached dead lock, owing to
the refusal of the British Government to submit
to arbitration the propriety of that Government
recognizing the Confederate States as bellige-
rents, as proposed by Secretary Seward, it
Says
at is indisputable that the general feeling of
Congress and the people is decidedly adverse to
of the British pretensions on this subject. The
late debate in the Senate, and the general tone
of the press show that on this matter the Ame-
Tican people Will yield nothing, even
for the sake OF peace. But still 1t is
plain that we are not to suffer by leaving
question, It is for Great Britain to
look to the results of her own obstinacy, and
the wrong-headedness of her legal counselors.
These consequences have been pointed out in
the recent discussion in the Senate, and they
will be to British maritime and commercial
obliged In self Edefense, and, indeed, in vindica-
ton of national law, to adopt the example of
Great Britain upon the occurrence of any war
between her and any other power"
There has been perfect stampede OF Con-
gressmen and officials since yesterday after
noon, going home to spend the holidays and
Washington seems almost deserted. The arri-
walls too, this morning, are very few, as it is
expected little business will be transacted at
the Departments during the recess.

BALTIMORE, Dec. 2l.-Several newly elected
members OF the Maryland Legislature are now
here, who, 1t is understood, are feeling their
way preparatory to voting for United States
Senator. The choice lies between Governor
Swami, Ex-Governor Pratt, and Samuel Ham
ilton. Swami is getting very uneasy, as many
Democrats assert they liquidated their obliga-
tions by electing him before, when he declined
or was scared out of risking the chances OF
admission. Hamilton is gaining rapidly.
Pratt is working hard.
Robert Fowler will undoubtedly be e.elected
State Treasurer.
Many Congressman have passed through the
city en- route homeward for the holidays
Reverdy Johnson has, in addition to other
counsel been engaged to aid in defending the
Wises for assault with intent to murder Ed
ward A. Pollard. This trial is expected to take
place early in January. Smith and Wills are
assistant State counsel and also for Pollard.
The weather is milder and business more
active.

The Sun of Saturday has the follow
ing items:
The Gold Run Company are now Ia
king out some splendid ore from the
FIRST Lowell of their mine. They have
just struck a very rich streak, about
eighteen inches wide at this point. The
rock is of u porous or decomposed na-
ture, and shows a considerable quantity
of free gold. A train of mules are now
employed in packing rock from this
mine to the Mohawk l. Montreal Mill
for crushing.
The Enterprise Company are busily
engaged in erecting u furnace for the
purpose of roasting their rock and thus
facilitating the reduction of their ores.
The process to be used is what is known
as I. Williams su%psr-heated steam pro-
cess" They have levied an assessment
of one dollar per share on their mine,
and intend to drive things ahead in
proper style.
The boys of the Shooting Star COM
pany have levied another assessment OF
one dollar per foot. They evidently
mean work, and We think that their
labors will be rewarded.
We understand that the Excelsior have
struck some fine looking ore in their
shaft this week.
