Washington Gossip.
A correspondent of the Baltimore Sun snys :
The compromise committee agreed upon
their report on Thursday lust. The chairman,
Mr. Clay, was requested to present the views
of the committoe to the Senate in a detuiled
report, and also to prepare the bills in conform
ity with these views. Mr. Cluy, on Friday,
retired into the country, taking with him an
amanuensis, for the purpose of discharging
the duty. He is at the residence of Mr. Cal
vert, near this city.
There are to be but three bills, as Tunder-
stand. The first bill embraces California, the
Territorial governments, and the Texan prop
osition, thus disposing of all these topics in one
act. <
The second bill alters uqd amends the fugi
tive slave 'feet of 1797, in "such manner as to
give effect to the constitutional provisions on
the subject and at the same time to comply
with the reasonable feeling and opinion of the
Northern, .people!"" The provisions are simple
and efficient.
The third bill extends the luw of Maryland
as it existed five years Bgo over this district
^ and by the provisions of the same, the slave
m marts of this dis rict will be broken up, and
^ie introduction of slaves for sale prohibited.
'‘t'he same writer says: ■
The California fever has reached the public
^.office* in this city, and a stampede is threaten
ed among the twelve hundred clerks. Three
or four intelligent clerks, with salaries of thir
teen and fourteen hundred dollars, resigned du
ring the last week, and are gone to seek a bet
ter lot in the land of promise.
The well-known and intelligent translator of
the State department, Mr. Greenbow, who
sometime ago published a valuable memoir
upon California and Oregon, has resigned and
is about to go to California. Mr. Cluvton has
appointed Mr. Walsh, who was formerly charge
of affairs in Brazil, to the vacancy.
Another correspondent of the same paper
says;
There is every reason for supposing that the
Administration will not oppose the compromise
plan, though semo of the more intimate friends
,of tike Cabinet are still keeping up thp fight in
-the newspapers- Perhaps they wnnt to make
capitoil.out qf their graceful surrender in the
.end.
Thaoocrospondent of the Charleston Courier
iglves the following as the provision made by
tho Compromise Committee for the recovery of
fugitive slaves. He says:
The propositions are, to amend ths net of
1793 so as to make it the duty of the Federal
Courts, in eaeh State, to appoint commission
ers’to enforce the act. The owner of a fugi
tive sluve, or his agent, is to go before a mag
istrate in Gourt, in his county, and describe the
partaa of the fugitive, and state the fact of his
elopblhent, -whereupon he is to take a ce .id
eate of the facts, -which he is to present to one
ot tho (Commissioners above named, in tho
State where tho fugitive is f-und. The Com
missioner is to arrest the slave and return him
to his .owner, or his agent, the lutter giving a
bond without other than his own security, to try
the said slave upon bis return home, by n jury
ofW vicinage. This jury is to decide upon
the Identity of .the fugitive with the person al
leged to have eloped. These guards are to pre
vent tbe possibility of anything like kidnapp
ing.
Another letWr writer says:
The Galpiiin claim investigation is now
brought W a close'; and, from the testimony,
there can hardly be much doubt but that Mr.
Beverdy Johnson was sufficiently backed by
law to allow the interest; provided he conceived
that the original claim constituted a lien upon
the land. The only difficulty, seems to be to
account for the fact that a cabinet minister was
,pn agent for the claim, and as such pressed a
pompt and full settlement of the same.
There is mnch talk about the Nicaragua trea
ty, and certain flaws in it. As this is a matter
for the Senate to determine, I leave it for the
present in abler hands than my own. As to
the accusation that the Monroe doctrine was
surrendered by tho late administration, it is
practically refuted by the fact that it was the
late administration which annexed California—
the only territory on which a powerful colony
.could have been planted by a European power.
The late war with Mexico did more for the
practical establishment of the Monroe doctrine
than nil the treaty stipulations in creation. It ,
spoiled the taste for American acquisitions in |
all European powers. Let us take care that
they do not entangle us by treaty .
There is something going on tn St. Domingo
which promises a rich harvest to the lovers of
irony. It is now a matter of speculation
E whether Emperuf ^oulouqe or Louis Napoleon

Prom Nicaragua.—A- letter in the New York
ribunoj dated Leon de Nicaragua, on the
ult-, says that the arrangements for open-
lt« new lids of transit are going on rapidly
will soon be completed. The writer furn-
s a decree from, the government to thoeffect,
being infornjed that oti or before tbe 1st of
_ ay. the American lines of steamers in the
Pacific, propose to establish depots in the port
of Reaiijo, and to touch there to obtain sup
plies of coals and provisions, they .should have
the privilege of doing it all flee of any duties,
and erect wharves under .such regulations as
agreed upon with the government.

large companies of Cornish Miners have left

Wednesday was a lovely day,—as fair a day
as the votaries of I lora could have wished,
on which to pay their court to the Goddess of the
flowers, und was celebrated by our citizens with
a unanimity and zest, worthy of thrt occasion
The younger portiun of the community, partic
ularly, observed the day with much enthusiasm,
and found means of making it the occasion of
« happy reunion of the youth, and beauty of our
city. The Pic Nic at Oglethorpe Barracks, to
which, by the politeness of the young gentle
men managers, we were furnished with an in
vitation, was a very pleasant affair, and pre
sented a scene of youthful life and joyous ani
mation, truly gratifying to behold. The cor
onation ceremonies took place within the spa
cious enclosure formed by the four wings of
tho building. A handsome alcove htul been
erected of evergreens, and decorated with flow
ers, about which the national colors were grace
fully disposed. ‘ In front of this fairy bower
n handsome May Polo wits planted, and for
the accommodation of the numerous company,
benches were urranged upon the turf-carpeted
ground. An election in which the suffrage was
confined to the voting mnsculines resulted in
the elevation of Miss Anna Long to the Floral
Throne. After the manner of England’s fa
vorite Queen, she chose her royal consort in the
person of Mr. Leslie Taylor, whose privilege
it wus to pluce the rhaplet of flowers on her
fair brow, and who in an appropriate speech
pledged to his youthful queen tho homage and
fealty of her devoted subjects. Tbe queen then
made tho fallowing appointments:
Miss Frances Habersham, First Muid of
Honor.
Robert Footman, Page.
Miss Anna Turner, Second Maid of Honor
Henry Ulmo, Fuge.
Miss Mary Charlton. Third Maid of Honor
William E. Long, Page.
These ceremonies over, tho whole Court,
King, Queen, Maids of Honor, “ ladyes faire,’
and gallunt Knights, all joined in the dance
about the May Pole. Wo hope her young
majesty will beur, with becoming grace, and all
due humility, her regal honors, for, we assure
her that to be voted the “Queen of B.satuy,”
where there was so much beauty to contest her
iglit to the disiinction. is no ordinary cornpli
ment. Wo think wo hazard nothing in saying
that Beauty being the requisite qualification
there could have been queens enough found
among her subjects to govern tbe realms of
Flora throughout the world.
From four o’clock until sundown, the little
people—among them not ft few who hud but just
learned to walk, and hud of course never been
at court before—came thronging into the en
closure to hear the enlivening music, and to see
tho merry dancers, and to enjoy the gay socie
ty of their youthfyl mutes. As evening ap
proached the children began to retire, and
“ children of a larger growth” to take their
places. Finnlly tbe company retired to the
building where refreshments were served, af
ter which tho dancing wus resumed in one of
the largo Barrack Rooms,where, us we are told,
it was kept up with greut animation until a
I late hour.
The celebration o fill ay rfny by |be Mil I tray.
Chatham Artillery.—This corps, Capt.
GaLLIB, paraded at llj o’clock in the morning,
with six pieces, two of which were howitzers—
and 69 men in uniform. The Artillery, as usual,
madou handsome appearance,und showed by the
precision with which they performed their evo
lutions, the thorough drill and admirable dis
cipline which characterizes it as a corps. I lie
company, after firing a national 9alute at the
east end of the city, partook of a glass of wine
with Capt. Gallie and Honorary member A.
R. Wright, Esq.
The Republican Blues, Capt. Ander
son, paraded on the first of Mnv, with ninety-
one men, (several of their members being
sick), to celebrate their 42d anniversary. 1 he
company marched to Woodland Retreat and
fired for a Silver Goblet, which was won by
Lance Corporal John F. Herb, whose three
shots measured 15i$ inches. The corps used
on this occasion their new porcussion locks,
and made better shooting than for several -years
past, 30 men putting 3 balls eaeh in the target.
From Woodland Ret,rent the corps marched
to Monument Square, where a handsome Vast
and Salver were presented by the Company,
through Cnpt. John W. Anderson, to hono
rary member Francis M. Stone Esq.
The Vuse and Salver were made by S. Kirk
& Son, of Baltimore, from a design furnished
by Col. James W. Anderson, 53d Regiment
Maryland Militia. After tho presentation, the
usual salute wus fired. The following is the
inscription on the vase.

A Tribute of Affection and Respect from
THE REPUBLICAN BLUES
The Mystery Explained.—A correspond
ent thus explains vrliat was to us a mystery in
commercial policy. The existence of such n
discrimination as that to which the writer al
ludes would of course justify the double ship
ment as described in ourjparagrapb, and Eng
land would be the gainer instead of the loser by
tbe transaction.
[For the Daily Mornitig News.)
Mr. Editor—There is an error in your ed
itorial, “A Novel Clearance,” in Wednesday
morning's News. The fact is, that Portugal
which has for so long a time been so closely
connected with Great Britain by a remarkable
treaty, imposes u much heavier export duty on
her wines to that country than to the U. S.;
so that there is economy in exporting them
to this country and then to Great Britain for
consumption there. You will see that John
Bull, instead of being cheated as you suggest,
makes a profit by the double voyoge. A refer
ence to the commercial policy of Great Brit
ain will show you that she has abandoned her
system of discriminating duties even infuvorof
her own colonies. It is believed that negotia
tions are now on foot to relievo Hot- Brittauic
Majesty’s subjects from this absurd regulation
which requires them to pay more for their fa
vorite “ Port ” when imported directly from
the country of its growth, than when introduc
ed by a double voyage across the Atlantic.

Chatham Fusileers.—We must not omit to
notice in our review of the military, this hand
some little corps, composed of and officered by
youths of our city. Savannah may justly be
proud of her military companies, but of none
morethunof the Fusileers. Their appearance
on Wednesday was very fine, and the perfect
order and discipline which characterized their
movements, would have done credit to older
troops.
We are decidedly in favor of youthful organ
izationsof this kind. The school of the soldier
is the school of the gentleman; and nothing is
better calculated to give a proper carriage
graceful movement, confidence, and self-respect,
than the schooling which is to be obtained in
the ranks of a volunteer company. We have
often thought that the substitution of the mili
tary drill in common schools, for the hours spent
in such recreations ns leap-frog, and ground
and lofty tumbling, would be a great improve
ment.
The Fusileers muster some thirty-six youths
rank and file. The company is officered as
follows
E. 8. Law, Captain.
J. 8. Box, 1st Lieutenant.
J. D. Hopkins, 2d “
W. O. 8. Fleming, Ensign.
F. Tuppkr, 1st Sergeant.
E. A. Castei.law, 2<1 “
Horace Holton, 3d '- “

A. F. Butler, 3d “
FRANCIS MATTHEW STONE,
Who, forty-two years since, a founder, and for many
years nn unsurpassed executive officer of their corps

duties with the spirit and energy of his youth,
and has, through a life of active usefulness, woti to
himself universal esteem, given character to, and
conferred honor on, the military association of which
is a cherished member, anil exerted a beneficial
influence on community, by the display of the virtues
the Soldier, Citizen, Patriot and Christian.

Phcf.nix Riflemen.—This corps, command
ed by Capt. W. II. C. Mills, paraded in

corps tnndo a fine appearance. During the
morning, the prize rifle won by Ensign Buck-
er, on the 22d February last, was presented
to that gentlemun, who received the handsome
cknowledgement of his superior marksman
ship, with becoming grace. The beautiful
embroidered banner, wrought by Miss Ker-
wick, and her niece, Miss Ellen Kerwick,
wus formally presented to the corps, at the
residence of their first Captain, Jonathan
Olmstead, Esq., and was appropriately ac
knowledged by Capt. Mills, alter which it
wus saluted by the corps. Capt. Olmstead
being absent from homo, the hospitalities of his
houso were bj his lady, tendered to the corps
who, after partaking some refreshments, march
ed through the principal streets, and deposited
tlieir banner at' tho quarters of Capt. Mills

[Correspondence of tbe Daily Morning News.]
New York, April 26, 1350
Thore is something decidedly out of .joint
in tho w'eotlier arrangements—an erratic comet
or something of that kind pluying tricks with
mother earth, nnd causing her to commit all
sorts of irregularities. Here we are verging on
May—the “merry month of Mny,” as Poets
please to cull it, and now nt noon-duy, I can
curcely see to write without the aid of a lump
is positively shocking.
The city is unusually quiet just now—it mny
a calm before a storm; the truth is, we are
expectation of an avalanche of news, for
there are no less than six steamers now on
their way to New York, which will bring us
telligence from every quarter of the globe.
The English steamer is in her thirteenth day.
One of the most extraordinary trials is now-
progress in Brooklyn, that of ‘one-eyed
Thompson,’ whose name is familiar to your
eaders, no doubt. He has been mixed up
ith the late explosions in the cases of Drury,
shley, Arlington Bennet, &c. He has been
indicted for passing altered bills of various
banks, from $1, to $10, $50, and soon. As
the trial proceeds, exposure follows exposure,
,until we feel disgusted at the whole affair.
Thompson acts us his own counsel, and, of
course, being personally acquainted with the
facts he wishes to elicit, he nsks tho questions
irectly,-nnd the reply generally implicates him
as deeply as the rest. It is a complete ripping
open of one of the most iniquitous associations
almost ever exposed. It is a difficult case for a
jury to decide upon, for one can scarcely credit
testimony for such vile scenes, and given under
such peculiarcircumstances.
I hear that Sig. Thomas, who didn’i marry
Tedesco, is now in the city, and rumor says
that he intends to make it all right this time,
A gentleman at the Opera was pointed out to
me the other night, as tho happy man, hut if
so, I cannot sny much for the lady’s taste—it
would require, a large sum of money, I should
think, to blind her to his repulsiveness. We
have had Macbeth Operu-ized, and a strange
Opera it makes, as you tnny imagine. The
vocalists are positively singing Shakspeare’s
words, and then, only conceive a man commit
ting the brutal murder of Duncan, and then;,
with blood stained hands, coming forward and
singing un aria. Those Italians are very queer
people; and romantic, one would think, even
in their butcheries.
The prisoner Moore, who stnbbed n mnn in
Leonard-street some time since, and killed hin>,
from ’jealousy, lias been found, by the jury, to
have been partially insane at the time, and he
is to be sent to a Lunatic Asylum and curefully
watched, to discover if he hus been pluying
‘possum,’ which I shrewdly suspect. Ho
seems to be nfflicted with a religious mono
mania, but remembers all the circumstances of
the ense, and says that it was a deliberate mur
der; indeed, the evidence shows that he hud
threatened to do it some days before. New
York is a great place for murderers—we have
most merciful juries, and most easy Judges,
It has been ascertained that the expense of
the dog law in this city last year, exceeded
$3900. So that nearly six thousand animals
must have been sacrificed. The authorities pay
50 cents for every dead dog, and it is a most
brutal sight every year, for boys go armed
with thick sticks, and wherever they meet with
a stray canine, he suffers a horrible, and fre
quently lingering death. Such a practice is
not calculated to improve the rising generation
but, on the contrary, must produce bad results
The extent of the publishing business in New
York would scarcely be credited by strangers
it is estimated, and pretty accurately too, thaL
the yearly issue of Newspapers, Magazines,
and Reviews, amounts in the aggregate, to
69,247,854. The cost of the paper alone,
amounts to $600,000. CHARLEMAC.
I3P The Georgia Citizen of yesterday morn-
mg contains a notice of our Guards from which
we extract the following ;
Our citizens have been much gratified with
the fine martial appearance arid excellent di*.
cipline of tho Savannah Guards. Thev ure
a veteran corps, this being the 48th anniversary
of their organization, and having in their l ank*
yesterday, two veteran soldiers whose united
service in the company, amounting to 85 years
deserve# a passing tribute. One of them Mr.
David Bell, aided in the formatioa of the
company in 1802, [nnd has rarely failed In
make his appearance on parade, from that day
to this. He is now as active and precise, in
his movements, as the youngest member, nnd
doubtless feels quite juvenile, innsmuch ns be
ing asked his age, he gives it only on condition
that we should not let the Ladiesof Macua
into the secret!
Tho other, Mr A. J. C. Shaw, has been 37
years a member of the “ Guards,” und to all ap
pearance, has a score more of years to spare in
military matters. The example of thess vete
rans should not ho lost upon the young men of
tho day.
Capt. Richardson, is a tall, spare gentleman, *
of the Gen. Jackson stylo of port and bearing
nnd is said to possess much of that military en
thusiasm and esprit de corps so essential to a
good commander. The Guards will doubtless
continue to prosper under his energetic admin
istration .
iy Wm. M. Brown, Esq., has been con
firmed by the Senute as U. 8. Marshal for
Georgia.
The Visit of the Guards to Macon.
The Macon Messenger, of Wednesday, thus ,
notices the visit of our Guards to that city:
Savannah Volunteers.—The Savannah Vol
unteer Guards Capt. Richardsone, arrived
yesterday evening, in an extra-train of cars,
from Suvunnuh. They were received al the
depot, and escorted, in fine style, by the Floyd
Rifles, Cnpt. Ross, nnd Macon Volunteers,
Cupt. Conner, to (heir quarters at the Floyd
House. All three of the corps appeared with
frill ranks, and made quite an imposing appear
ance.
The Guards number fifty-four muskets, end
appeared to be in the most perfect drill. This
veteran corps w as organized, if we mistnkennt,
in 1802, and hus always maintained a high pos
ition among the various rivul corps of the State,
lt has bad the singular advantage of having
been commanded by such military gentlemen
as Tatnnll, Jackson, Bowen, and others—
officers whose names ore identified with the
chivalry and military renown oftheStale. Nor
does it seem to be less efficiently organized nt
the present moment; for it is evidently highly
prosperous, nnd gives ample evidence of skill
and attention on the part of both officer# emi
men.
The Guards will participate with the Floyl
Rifles in the festivities of their anniversary
celebration today. To-morrow there will pro
bably be a battalion parade during tho day, and
in the evening there will be a grand military
and civic Soiree at tho Floyd House, in honor
of the occasion.
