H.PtxUUnl’. Vuuf a»J >» drflrered to-morrow.-
It la briefer than muni, and will wadopt the principle*
laid down by Mr. Marcy In the Kouta aflair, and the Prtei-
dent will etand by them.
The Message will show that our relatione with Mexico
art of a peaceful and promising character. The Guano
difficulty Vith the Chlncha Islands has been definitely and
mUsfrctorily adjusted by Peru. The Importance of open
ing the A»n«»nn will be dtcuseed and the administration
are making strenuous effort* to accomplish It. The Fish-
ary Question Is unsettled. Negotiations are In progress.
The ettenUon or Congress wUl be called to the Impor
tance of a more accurate definition of the boundary be-
tween the United Slates and th# English possessions In tb#
North West . t ..
The Justice of the Spanish claim for Indemnity In the
ease of the schooner Armblead is conceded, but animad-
recta strongly and severely upon the conduct of the Spau-
lah authorities towards American cltlseni in Cuba, and in-
timates that it must be immediately stopped.
In regard to the eubject of Slavery, the President re-af-
firms, in the broadest terms, the Compromise and Union
doctrines set forth in hU inaugural, with decided emphasis.
The right* of the Southern States are as dear to the
President as those of Now Hampshire.
Th# Message will urge upon Congress the propriety of
reducing the duties on certain articles, and the addition of
Others to the free list, In order to reduce the revenue to
•bout fifteen millions lese than the present amount annu-
ally collected.
-A large Increase is recommended In the Navy, and modi-
flcations In the Army.
The extension of the Land system Is also recommended,
with seme modifications. Over Utah and New Mexico,
modifications also.
Our Land system In favor of actual settler* and its ex
tension, is recommended with the pre-emption principles.
Important amendments to our Patent laws; changes In
the Judicial system ; probably the reduction of the Judges
of the Supreme Court, as vacancies occur, to five members
only, and relieve them entirely from Circuit duties, and
appoint Circuit Judges, Independent of the Supreme Court
will be suggested.
No appropriation for Internal Improvements It tecom-
mended, and tbo reason Is given for withholding the funds,
bated upon the injustice, irregularity and inefficiency of
the present system, which Is inadequate to meet the de
mands of commerce, or afford necessary protection to hu
man life and property. The question is urged at length,
and It is suggested that Congress empower States to levy
tonnage duties for the purpose of raising funds lor works
necessary to commerce.
The message discountenances any appropriation by the
General Government for building the Pacific RailrosJ ; and
objects even to an appropriation of alternate sections of
land, except under circumstances sufficient to induce ju
dicious individual proprietors to make similar disposition
of his land.
’ The power of Congress, under certain contingencies, to
construct Military Hoads for purposes of common defence
fe admitted, but at present the President Is clear that the
common defence does not demand such an undertaking as
the construction of the Pacific Railroad.
On our foreign policy pertaining to the augmentation of
territory, the sentimonta of the President are boldly pro
gressive, and they sustain the Toung America Monroe Doc
trines.—Charleston Standard.
Arrival op the Avovsta.—The U. S. M. Steam-

arrived, all well, in sixty-two hours from port to port.
Tlic Regatta.
The ontiro water front of our city, yesterday, from
soon after 12 uutll after 2 o’clock, P. M., presented a
most enlivening and beautiful sight. Tho day was
all that could be de9ired—the sun shone bright and
warm, the skies wero clear, and the day as soft aud
balmy as a day In June. The beauty and fashion of
tbo city were out in their strength to witness the
regatta. The counting room3 fronting the river, the
tops of buildings, the docks, the decks and rigging
of the shipping, for the eutire length of the harbor,
were occupied with spectators. At precisely half-
past one o’clock P. M., at the signal given, the three
eight-oared boats—the Friendless, entered by Mr.
Bpauldino ; the Sunny South, entered by Mr. Cou-
per 5 and the Flight, entered by Mr. John Screven,
m&do a start from tho west line of West Broad-street.
Mr. Screven’s boat was stationed nearest shore,
Mr. Coupeb’s next, and Mr. Spaulding’s outside,
near the center of the river. The steamer St. Johns
was anchored in the stream—on board of which was
» band of music and many ladies and gentlemen—
The start made by the contestants was most admira
ble. But ft very short time elapsed, however, before
It was manifest that the Sunny South was tho favor
ite boat with the great majority or the spectators, al
though the others were Bkiirully managed, and cheered
ooby hundreds anxious for their success. The Sunny
South assumed tbo lead, which she continued to
bold throughout, exhibiting a degree of skill In the
use of tbo oar by her crew which we never saw sur
passed. The entire ran was made, we believe, in a
little less than seven minutes; the Sunny Sonth bo^
Jug declared the winner by about a length aud a half.
The Flight followed next, and the Friendless brought
up the rear. The Annie Bryan, a two oared boat,
without a competitor, was rowed over tho course, and
took the fourth prize.
To-day is to be tho day for sport. The entries ar tf
more numerous than those yesterday, and cousist of
well known racers. Our Charleston friends, it would
appear, have been completely frightened off the course.
There la oertainly some reason for their alarm, when
tt is considered that the aloweat crew in the race yes
terday were the victors in the recent regatta in
Charleston. Georgia "dug-oats,” and Georgia crews
stand the victors against all odds.
■team Communication to Savannah.
A preliminary meeting of several of the merchants
of this city was held last night at the Southern and
Western Beading Boom, and the necessary steps ta*

week, with regard to steam oommanication with Sa
vannah. Jt Is Intended to have a full meeting on Fri
day evening next, at the same place, to receive re
port of the canvassers and take some definite action on
tbt subject. Considerable interest seemed to be man
ifested by those present, and a determination was ex
pressed to push the matter to an iaine. It it expect

Settlement of the Methodist Church Fnw
party Question In Mew York.
The undersigned, a committee appointed for the
purpose of preparing a statement for publication of
the action of the Commissioners upoa the question
in litigation between tho M. E. Church and the M. E.
Church, South, In relation to the property of the
Book Concern in New York, ret
The Hon. John McLean, hav!
taken a correspondence with
the M. E. Cbnrch nnd those of the M.E. Church,
South, and having received assurances from both
parties of a disposition to como to an amicable settle
ment of the matter in litigation, and having been in
vited to be present at a meeting of the aforesaid Com
missioners, and to aid them with hi* counsels, met
with them nt the tnlfwlon rooms. 199 Mulberry-street,
New York, on the 26th ult., and, by the unanimous
request of the Commissioners, acted as chairman.
After a careful and most friendly examination or
the whole question, the Southern Commissioners
made a proposition for a settlement of their claim,
which the Commissioners for the Nerr York concern
accepted. Nothing now remaiua to be done to con
summate this desirable adjustment of n most trouble
some litigation, but the execution of the necessary
papers, and the arrangements for a final decree of
the United 8tatea Court for tlie southern district of
Now York, now in session in this city.;:
Tho settlement has been agreed upon by the par
tics without the arbitrament of third party,a and is to
each entirely satisfactory. The conclusion of this set
tlement was followed by thanksgiving to God, and
moat hearty expressions of Christian love and mutal
confidence. The feelings which prevail among the
Commissioners of the two cbnrohes. me may hope, U
a true type of that which will prevail hereafter
throughout the bonds of our common Methodism,
North and South.
Much credit is to bo awarded to his honor, Judge
McLean, for his agency in the completion of this im-
E ortant and desirable arrangement, and we doubt not
ut this act will stand prominently among those of
his long aud brilliant career, which have given him
so enviable a position before the Christian psblic.
The details of the settlement will be madt known
to tho public when the final decree of the Coirt shall
transpire. Geo. Peck,
William A. Smith.
Tho above report was unanimously adopted.

Mitchell In Snn Francisco.
Some idea of the passionate and burning speech of
John Mitchell at his reception in San Francisco may
be gathered from the following extract:
" I was a freer man in a Bermuda hulk than the un
happy Irishmen who saunter and simper in the Dub-
llu Crystal Palace, and make believo that they arc
loyal citizens and members of society. Their souls
dwell in a hulk. From the browu shades of the Tas
manian wood I bad a clearer view of the great trans
actions aud destinies of mankind than they in the
cgntre of their vicious civilization, and amidst the
crushing race of hungry candidates for ten thousand
offices—which are England’s bribes aud the devil’s.
Therefore, you will seu it is not in ignorance or for
getfulness of what has been passing these late years,
that I dare again to utter the creed of Irish nationality
—that I hail your sympathy with Irish rebellion.—
There are Irishmen hero to-night—do you, my coun
trymen, tell me that our cause is lost forever ? Is tho
history of Ireland over, then? Do you tell mo logo
back to my island dungeon .and disturb no more the
march of Anglo-Saxon civilization and tho Crystal
Palace progress of the species ? Forgive me the ques
tion, ray countrymen ! Do not our hearts leap up at
the very thought of the next European convulsion ?
Do they not burn within us when we think of all that
•' peace and order,” as tyrants call tho chained quies
cence of slave*,—how it will bo shivered to atoms on
some etfrly day—a day to be called the white day for
ever—with a crash that shall shake the pillars of
the globe, and how thrones nnd] principalities will
totter und rush down into chaos before the stormy
wrath and execrations of gods and men ? Bear with
me. I have plunged at once into the very heart nnd
centre of my absorbing subject. It has been the dream
of my prison houra by day nnd night. No wonder
that I rash so eagerly to mcctyonr offered sympathy
my brother repuplicans. No wonder I gladly hasten
to realize to rnysell the full meaning of that sympa
thy, and to let all the world, friends and enemies,
kuow the same. Yes, I. an Irish rebel and republi
can, am proud of the title—I. who write rebel after
my name, and wear it aa a frontlet between my eyes
—am welcomed by the citizens of this most American
of American cities, for my rebellion and republican
ism, aud for nuthingelse. Is it so? And of what
else could l venture to discourse to you ? 1 am but
awaking after a long hibernation, and have much to
see and learn before I speak.’’

Edward Everett's Library.
Tho library of tho Hon. Edward Everett, in Summer
street, is probably the most extensive and bcBt ar
ranged of any private library in the country. It is a
complete model. The visitor, on entering, feels that
he is in a rare place ; and he feels so, because the elo
quent evidences are so magnificently spread around
him. Shelves upon shelves of variegated books greet
the eye, unmistakeably bespeaking the taste, the
mind, aud the liberality of their distinguLbol owner.
A work of sculpture of unrivalled delicacy aid beau
ty, is seen in oue place, a grand painting, tf the an
cient school, gorgeous in color and exquisite in con
ception, iu anotiier; here are tho mechanism of
science, the obedient illustrators of astronimy, of ,
navigation, of electricity, of the mathematics; and r
there arc globes and maps, diagrams, ad libtum.—
Upon one side, reaching from floor to tufty wiling,
are huge mirrors, bordered in gold, throwing back
tho rich stores of intellect and taste before than.
Furniture of unique and antique patterns: chairs
of the Elizabethan age; lounges and sofas "raies” in
the voluptuous reign of Louis XIV.; tables ani desks
of curious shapes and rare and costly materials and
workmanship; book-cases in gold of Gothic teauty ;
books of ail ages, nations and tongues—each and all
forcibly impress tho beholder, and flood bln with
emotions which it is impossible to picture forth in the
cold vestments of this poor world. Upon oil this
ficene of intellect, taste, and beauty,there bendi gent
ly down the soft, twilightish ray, making still more
picturesque and attractive by the mingling sb&dea of
a parti-colored sky light. The effect is beautiful—it
is more than beautiful. The room, large^nd long,
seems an almost unearthly presence. It U of all places
that of a man imbued with genius; inspired by a love
of wisdom seeking the depths aud truths of a great
philosophy, struggling with tho huge opinions aud
great minds of tbe past and present; it is such a place
that he would resort to. and there hold communion
with his theme away from and out of the world, os
it were.
It is here, pacing back and forth, that Mr. Everett
has composed and rehearsed those masterly and beau
tiful productions which swayed seuates and enraptur
ed the popular heart: it was here that was conceived
that mugnilicent oration, already ono of tho pillars of
the classics, which was pronounced with bo electric an
effect upon the battle plains of Lexington ; it is here
that were written those innumerable brilliants of lit
erature, closing with the noblest of all, the lifo, char
acter, and genius of Webster; it is bore that have
been penued thoughts aud periods which shall send
bis name down to the most distant posterity.
It is a rare and beautiful place, is this library of the
illustrious Everett. It is eminently worthy aud char
acteristic of its owner.—Boston Di.sjtatch.
Obituary.
CAPTAIN JOHN W. GUNNISON, UNITED STATES ARMT.
The untimely and tragic fate of this gallant and
able officer, while engaged iu the arduous duties of
the government, 1ms caused a pofouiid impressiou
throughout the country.
Captain Gunnison was plncod by tho War Depart
ment, in April last, in command oi the party charged
with the survey oud exploration of the Central Paci
fic Railroad route. He left St. Louis, after receiving
bis instructions from the government, early in June
last, with high hopes, and possessing tbo confidence
of tho country that a more faithful, energetic, and
efficient officer could not liavo been selected for the
important post assigned him. The appropriation of
Congress providing for tho survey was extremely
limited, but the utmost power was given to Captain
Gunnison, by the Secretary of War, consistent with
tho act under which the survey waa required lobe
be made. It was not until May that Capt. Gunnison,
received a notification that be was required to assume
the command of the expedition. He immediately let
out for Washington to arrange the necessary matters
for the difficult work before him : the organization of
his party, tho selection of his assistants, the purchase
of commissary and materiel for the work. The Sec
retary of War,having the most unbounded confidesce
in the lodgment and fidelity of Capt. Gunnison, al
lowed him to write his own instructions, aud to or
ganize the whole plun and material of the expedition.
This work was accomplished in less than a week, tnd
tho gallant officer was on his way to the mountains
Captain Gunnison was a native of New Uamshire.
He graduated at West Point in the year 1835. Aft *r
his gr&dnation he assumed his place in the artillery.
On the oreanization of the Topographical Depart
ment of the array, consisting of thirty six pcrions,
ho waa translerred to that branch of tho service. Hu
was selected for that scientific corpse because of bis
f ieculiar qualifications, and bis active and efficient
nbors in the Topographical corps has won for bin a
name among tho first in tho country. For mtny
years previous to 1849 ho had been engaged iu the
Coa-t Survey of the LakcB, and his labors in that im
portant work have been second to none in this corps,
lie was remarkable for energy, accuracy aud perse
verance in whatever he undertook for tho Topographi
cal bureau ; and it is believed that Col. Abert, his
chief, regarded him as ono of the most competent,
faithful and upright officer in the service of the War
Department. He was an boncBt man. He served his
government with all the energy and power of his
cultivated mind.
In 1849 he was attached to the party under Capt.
Stanbury, which was ordered to make a Topographi
cal Survey of the basin of the GreatSaJt Lake. Capt.
Gunnison was charged with the astronomical duties
of that survey ; and the manner in which be acquit
ted himself is well known to the country. The de
tention of the party at the Mormon elty of Utah ena
bled Captain G., in the interval of time, to make im
portant observations upon the theocracy of the Mor»
mon government, which, In the following year after
he returned, wero given to the public. This work is
oneofthe most interesting records of the interior
growth of this country, and of the peculiarities of the
Mormon church, which has ever been written. It was
extensively republished in this country and In Eng
land.
Capt. Gnnnlson married Miss Delony, of Georgia,
in 1841, and he now leaves bis wife and three child-
dren, who it is believed are in tbe latter State, to
mourn bis untimely and most melancholy fate. As
nearly as can be ascertained he was killed by a band
of Utah Indians, who had mistaken bis party for Mor
mons. His body was pierced by twenty-six arrows;
one of his arms hod been cat off, and he was otherwise
mutilated. This mast have occurred about the 23th
October last. Capt. G. bad determined to go iuto
winter quarters, and was making arrangements ac
cordingly.
He was one of tbe ablest and bravest men in tbe
scientific corps, and, although young bad won a peal,
tion as an officer, and a character as a gentlennn,
which gave promise of the highest usefulness to bis
country. Peace to tbe gallant dead.— V. Y. Herald,

produced tbe best kinds from that time down to tbe

Chattanooga, November 80,1863.
Htunois of the Press.
Our friend ot tho Louisville Courier gives the follow
ing amusing account of the peregrinations of an Ohio
editor:
“Sara Pike, once of the Highland (O.) Democrat,
formerly of the Peru (Iud.) Forester, subsequently of
Piketonlan, afterwards e Itor of a paper at^ Washing
ton, (O.,) then connected with a sheet at Circlevillo,
(O.,) more latterly tbe conductor of the Flag and
Horuet at Flemlngshurg. the Flag at Maysvllle and
Newport aud Covington, and still more recently with
the Paducah Pennant, talks about establishing a dem
ocratic press ut Paris nr Ml. Sterling.”
This is certaiuly a rather ubiquitous editor. Per
haps. being " boru for the universe," he was afraid of
'• narrowing his mind,” by contracting any local
ideas or attachments. Perhaps, like jEneas or old,
he wanted to see the manners of many cities, for the
ueedful improvement of bis own. Or he may have
traveled in search of a wire, like Ccelebs. Or, In lino,
he may bo the Wandering Jew turned printer. He
was studying geography. As to editing Ids paper, he
must have done that ahorseback. Ho might have dis-
K nsed with carriers and mail contractors. He had
ttcr get a locomotive office, like the itinerant
daguerreotype men. Or,after all. a single number of
his paper may have been as much as the meekest of
villages would let him publish.—N. O. Crescent.
Louisiana election.
Great confusion has existed iu the telegraphic and
other published returns of the recent Congressional
elections in Louisiana ; but we have at length found
in the Whosldngton Union, an authentic account of
the result. It is us follows, viz :
1st District—William Dunbar. (Dcm)
Charles Gayftrie, (Whig)
. 4.656
Democratic ninjoritr for Dunbar
2<1 District—Theodore Gaillnrd Hunt. (Whig)
Samuel B. Davis, (Deni)
Whig majority for Hunt
1 District—John
large majority.
1.109
l’erkin*, Jr., Dcmocmt, elected by a
4th District—Roland Jones, Democrat, also elected by a
large majority.
In the auto Legislature there Isa Democratic ma
jority of 33 on jolut ballot—-26 in tho House and 8 in
the Senate.
A Simple Cure forStammerino.—Sir. Wakefield,
at an inquest lately held iu England, states that a
few days before, the summoning officer told him it
would be useless to call onu witness, a lad, because
he stnttered so excessively that he could hardly ar
ticulate the shortest sentence in half an hour. Mr.
W., however,had him called, and telling him that a
shot could not be discharged from a gun without
powder, so words could uPt come from the mouth un
less the lungs had their powder, viz: air. He told
him to inhale the air, draw his breath strongly ; nnd
tbe boy having dono so, Mr. W. asked him :
“ Can you talk now ?”
The boy, to the surprise of the Jury, answered im
mediately and glibly:
"Yes, sir, lean, well.”
The coroner added that Inhalation or aclf-lnflatlon
of the lungs with air, was a sure remedy lor stam
mering, and though it lmd been discovered long ago,
the Faculty had not until lately, and tbcu only a few
of them, cuused it to be practiced as a remedy for de
fective articulation.
Yankee Sullivan again Arrested.—The Sheriff
of Westchester couuty arrested Sullivan In this city,
on Wednesday, for having violated tho conditions of
a pardon he received from a former Governor or this
State. Being the second in a pugilistic fight, in which
one of the parties was killed, Sullivan was tried at
White Plains, and found guilty of manslaughter in
tho 4th degree nnd sentenced to the State Prison,
from which he was pardoned, before he served out his
time, on condition'tlmt he would never again be con
cerned in any prize fight. Having violated the con
dition of Iris pardon by recently engaging iu another
prize fight, tho authorities of Westchester considered
that he had rendered himeulf liable to imprisonment
for tbe balance of the term for whicli he had been sen
tenced. and had him arrested. From this arrest he
sought to be liberated by a writ of habeas corpus, on
tho ground that, subsequent to his conditional pardon
ho had received nn unconditional pardon. Tho Court
donied tbe motiou for his liberation, on the ground
that it could not interfere with a warrant issued by a
court of coequal jurisdiction.-—New York Mirror, ‘Id.
John Mitchell—There was anotiier large gather
ing of tho friends of Mitchell last night, at the resi
dence of his brother, in Brooklyn. Mr. Mitchell, Mr.
Meagher and Mr. Smith,in answer to loud calls,
made short addresses to tbe serenaders. The " Irish
Confederates of 1848” have extended an invitation
to Mr. Mitchell, for himself, wife and children, and
other members of hi? family, at a Banquet to be giv
en on Monday, Dec. 12th, where a Committee of the
Whole will present him with an original address
A delegation is cn route from Boston, to iuvite Mitch

Eleven happy days in a life-time.—"Were I
offered the choice,” said Byron, "cither to live ray
life over again, or to live as many years more onward,
I should certainly prefer the first; yet my young days
have been vastly more unhappy than I believe those
of other men commonly are. I once attempted to en
umerate the days I had lived which might, according
to the common use of language, be called happy ; I
could never make them amount to more than eleven;
and I believe I have a very distinct reraernherancc o:
every one. I often ask myself whether, between thj
present time and the day of my deutli, I shall be able
to make up the round dozen.”
More of the Effects of Spiritual Delusion.
—Mrs. Ward, a respectable woman living in Ashley
County, Arkansas, was, a few nights since, " inform
ed by a spirit” that Iwr left hand Iud offended her
Maker, and that to make her peace she must part
with it. Mrs. Ward immediately got out of bed, pro
cured nn axe, and cut off her hand at the wriHt.
She then awoke her husband, telling him what she
had done, and why she had dono it. A physician
was sent for, but during the time prior to his arrival,
aim lost very little blood, and was well several daj-B
after the occurrence.
The Epidemic at New Port.—On Sunday last,
<nys the Wukulla Times, of the 30tb, there was one
new case or yellow fever, being tho only one since
that day week. This case readily yielded to the usual
rcmldies, and the patient will probably he able to re
sume bis business to-day or to-mon-ow.
Or the« oe««» mentioned In our last, 1 is dead, 2
oontinue to Improve, and 3 are well.
The weather since Friday has been cool and pleas
ant, and should it continue bo, we may not have any
more new cases, but it is probable tiiat we must have
a heavy frost or two to effectually destroy the seeds of
the disease. _ . . ,
Ve understand that Mr. Hugh Archer, who waa
confined for some days at Bel-Air with the yellow fe
wer, is now able to be about.
Ekv. W. H. Milburn.—This popular and eloquent
clergyman, known as " the blind preacher,” for he
has almost entirely lost his eight, will be a prominent
candidate for the Chaplaincy of the House of Repre
sentatives. Mr. MUburn held this position during
President Polk’a administration.
