Lettenjftom your ancient foes-foea once hated and dlaplsed—written and forgot ten long yeais ago, now, for the Utat time, grace your Impartial columns, to prove Andrew Jack sou Donelson worthy the second office in the gilt of the Republic. I must admit, you at least, quote high authority, and regret you do not go to the same reliable source oflener* It rarely does an old Une Demoorat good io see the Idol hero of his yonth, the patriot sage, An drew Jackson, quoted so triumphantly by jour nals once his bitter enemies.

We can spare you even the “ne phew of his ancle"—-for the thousands your new creed has driven into our ranks. Aguinst Mr. Fillmore I have not a word to say. Ho la a statesman of whom his country is justly proud; and, although I am u Dem. ocrat, I honor him for his patriotism ns ex. pressed in tho past, and, per ee, would willingly trust it in the future. But here I stop. I have something else to inquire into, besides Mr. Fill, more's patriotism. I havo a question or two to ask ubout his political position. Xow, lie teas a Whig. He was n Whig President, If elected under the present nomination what would ho bo, jlfr. Republican! An American you reply. Exactly. Now let me beg yon hon. estly to keep this difference before your read ers. Advocate his reflection upon the ground that he is no longer a Whig—that he, as your Iicverend Editor, Parson Brownlow, says— has taken yonr oaths, .and still adheres to them. Put those oaths up under Mr* Fillmore's name, and toll your readers that these, and not his old Whig principles, are to guide him In the administration of government, if again elected. Tell them that he has sworn to cxcludo every Catholic from office, and to torn out nil in office, where he can legally do ao. Tell them that no foreign bom citizen, no mat ter what hia worth, his position or services, can he appointed to office under liis second adminis tration. That this second administration will not be upon the plan of the boasted "model," hut upon the recent American regime, which is to take the republic back to its days of parity. That model, which you probably look upon os a close approximation to Washington's, he can not repeat; apd If asou of the “friend of Amer ica,” und companion of Washington, a Catholic, or not bom on this side of tho Attantio, were to apply to Mr. Fillmore for the humblest office In his gift, he would be bound by hls oath, his prayer, to refuse. Do you tell mo these oaths are obsolete V I call upon you for your author, ity for the assertion. Yea, more—I call upon you to point to the man or set of men In vested with power to absolve you from your oaths. But it is claimed for Mr. Fillmore, as one of hls qualifications for the Presidential office, that he has not only taken them, hut that he Is still a member in good stan ding of a loudge Iu New York. Parson Brown, low voted for him In convention and now sup. ports him upon this ground. He has naile d the oatlis to the masthead of the Knoxville Whig— and proclaims them as csseutial articles In tlie creed of the party which nominates Mr. Fill more. The honest parson scorns to deny 01 conceal his principles;—and by them hois will, ing to stand or fall. I like this—I do not like to light un enemy whose weapons are hid; it is not Republican, it is not Democratic, it is not American (old) so to light. Up then with your creed Messrs Editors, .aud if we cannot reverent- ly repeat It L aflcr your parson, we will at least know where to find'you in yonr devotions. M. Washington Correspondence. Washington May, 12. Mr. Care to d*y entered upon • long and ear nest speech in definition and -support of what is commonly called "Squatter Sovereignty," a name he however, repudiates. He assumes the general Interest right of apeople to govern them selves when numerous enough to form a Slate, and the perlbetequulltyof the States whenever admitted Into the Unton. Mr. Omi appears massive and heavy on can- iss and In print; and aomewhat so when sit ting quietly in the Senate chamber. But it is seldom that he la found so, for hla mind la over active. He reads with intensity, writes with eagerness, talks with vehemence, and delivers apeeohes with nu Impetuous ardor. No ono who listens to him can doubt hla sincerity. His whole heart, soul and intellect always appear absorbed In the subject before him, and ho is always master of thatsuhiectso perfectly that he is prepared to respond at every point, uud to contend upon any collateral issue forced upon him. Wo rend in the public prints that Mr. Dallus Is warmly greeted in England. Private letters received In this city make even stronger repre sentations of this matter. Mr. Dallas, though almost a radical In politics, as hls father was before him, is a most polished gentleman In so ciety, quiet, easy, clear, able. Intelligent and self poised, happily exemplifying both the suaviter in modo and the fortitn in re. It Is fortunate for tu to have such a minister nt this critical period. It was current among the knowlug.oucs nt the capltol today, that nn Improved state of feeling was growing up between the President and Senator Pierce, and there were not waiitlug evil ones who ascribed this seeming friendship to a joint effort to destroy Mr. Buchanan. The assault on Mr. Buchanan, made by Mr Fullor (“American") of Pennsylvania on Satur-' day last, has even been connected with this un derstanding, by those “whoso wish is father lo the thought,” for it.certalnly has no foundation In truth. There Is much anxiety in this city to learn the present condition of Walker in Nicaragua, tor decisive events have surely happened since our last intelligence. Our government will not recognize his Minister, and thus permit our citi zens to repair thither at their pleasure, i The Commlttco of Foreign Affairs in the House, (oil, it is understood, except Mr. Clingman, of North Carolina) oppose the recognition of that gov ernment, and to-day the Houso of ltepresciita- tlvcs refused by a decisive voto lo counsel a res- olutlon proposed hy Mr. Cllngniuu having that end in view. It seems that (leu. Walker, like some others In this world, must come with the prestigo of success before ho can cxpcrlcuco tho symputhy of friendly tiivor. So may he come. Much satisfaction is felt at Mr. Herbert's be ing held to bail to-day by the Judgo of our Cir cuit Court, before whom ho was taken with a writof habeas corpus. It pleases all parties, because It is known that his total discharge would have excited harsh feelings iu the minds of a class of people who may never comprehend the possibility of the llrststory they heard being false.

EditorsTho news lately received from Nicaragua and Panama, has caused con siderable sensation hore as well as speculation, as to the probable course that will be assumed by the United States In the grave matters brought to its attention. The French and British wire ones have come to the conclusion that the Util ted States, If disengaged from the serious obli gation that rests upon the present government, to make a President for the relief or continu ance of General Pierce in office, will leave those Central American trivialities of murder and violation of treaty obligation, “to the provideut care and management of ‘John Bull.’ ” This power for abitrunent, has certainly taken tlie Monroe doctrine by the beard, and citizeusof the United States upon a high-way established under treaty, are told by these pads of theoceau to “right about faco,” and march about their business in some other direction, or to return home as may best suit them. The Eurydice (British frigate) will be re-in- forced by other vessels of tho West India squad ron, to enforce the blockade of the waters of San Juan, assisted by vcsssels of the French arm ol the protectorate. A French frigate now In port, it is said, will go down to the scene of action in a few days. The Costa Ricans have been assisted with arms from England, aud with Spanish officers from Cuba. How “John Bull” will settle tho Panama murders, 1 do not perceive, and, perhaps, they may permit the St. Mary to adjust, so tliut Un cle Sam does not oudeise the territory uud peo ple. At any rate, there has beeu no sympathy here with the United States or tlie people, grow ing out of the Panama outrage, in which a Spaniard, well known here, was iucitlng the negroes and Indians composing the mob, anil probably, had hls share fn the plunder.

This the Times copied yesterday, but makes no further remurk on it this morning. We must not, therefore, be coutont to think that wo yet know how afiiura stand; and Lord Clarendon, (though in the Peers last night, where ho was cheered,) has not yet made his statement. That the Black Sea is to be neutralized and turned into a mere commercial sea; that Russia is to have no licet nor torts there; that they return Kara, and we our conquests; and that tlie Principalities are to bo united under some hospodar of native family admitting the Porte’s sunrainte: these ure points on which everybody here scents agreed to expect agreement. But it affirmed that the question of tho Prin cipalities is, postponed, chfelly on account of France’s eagerness to settle the peace before the armistice expired. And this last reminds me to direct your attention to the article on thu Peace aud Turkey in tho new number of tlie Quarterly. It is probably cither by Bayard or written from Bayard's inspiration, aud it is original at once in knowledge aud in views. The writer, (who iu tho last number doubted that peace was probablo,) now shows why Rus sia has yielded—why wc have been impelled to close tho war (ho evidently regrets our having done so) before Russia has been thoroughly and fiuully damaged—and how Turkey ought to be treated with a view to her regeneration. He asserts that tho “great aud overwhelming diffi culty which at last compelled tho Emperor to yield,” was “the absolute destruction of all the means of transport throughout the south of Russia.” Ho then goes on to say. that after all, she is uot so permanently crippled as people may fan cy : that “the territorial concessions” demuuded of uer are “of a trivial natureund Iwldly maintains that “it will eventually prove a source “of great misfortune to Europe; that tho cle- “mauds of the allies were not more cotntuen- “Hiiratc with the sacrifices which they have “made, and with the object of the war. It is his idea that Russia will go to work, now tlmt she knows what her weak points are, putting her power iu order again—especially by rail ways connecting the prineijiat military positions of 'the empire; uud that, next time, such an al liance against her may uot lie possible for one tiling. Meanwhile, the French Emperor has managed to leave off just ns ho has made the most of the uUiuucc, aud just as France has achieved a glory greater than our own. There is a great deal of truth, I think, in all this; and I have repeatedly told you that the peace has been coldly received here.

(Correspondence of tho Charleston Standard.] Washington, May 11, 1856. Tho examination of tho Hon. P. T. Herbert, for killing Thomas Keating, one of tho waiters at Wiliam's Hotel, l» now progressing before Judgo Crawford, under the writ of hrbeae cor pus, tho examining magistrates having refused o admit tho accused to bail. This decision on the part of tho justices has astonished the com munity hero very much, as the ovldence for the dofeuce proved a clear cose of seli-dereuco,and the only query in the minds or the community seemed to be whether Mr. Herbert would be held to ball or released—a large majority lean ing lu favor of the latter. The facts of the cuso mu will have gathered from the published tes timony, which it Is said will be corroborated by the Netherlands Minister, should lie consent to testify before tho Criminal Court. Tho whole affair Is deeply regretted by nil. Mr. Herbert is cousin to AV. W. Boyce, of South Carolina, and is decidedly popular with all who know him personally.

It has been this particularity, in these respects, which has given such popularity to tholr house, and placed it far in ndvunce of our other metropolitan hotels.

IV.VNHOE. Height of Lunar Mountains.—Science ■bus been enabled to find out much con cerning lunar mountains. The elevations of 1005 feet have been accurately meas ured. It will be readily understood how, when it is considered—tlmt the length of a shadow indicates the height of the body behind which it is east, provided the in clination by which tho light falls is known. Whenever light falls on a particular body, with an inclination of half a right angle (45 degrees,) the shadow formed beyond is exactly as long as the body is high.— When the sun shines by this inclination upon the lunar mountains, their shadows are consequently as the mountains ure tall, when the light lulls with a greater incli nation, the slmdow is lengthened in a ratio known to the mathematician. Thirty- nine of the lunar mountains are found, by estimates taken in this way, to be higher than Mount Blauc; six are above 18,000 feet. The lunar monutaius are, therefore, on a vastly grander scale than the earth’s, if both are compared with the size of the sphere on which they stand. In Illustra tion of the delicacy with which investi gation relating to tho height of lunar mountains have been curried on, that Meadler, the] German astronomer, has distinctly seen a shadow on the moon not longer than three seconds of augular mea surement, and which was cast by a body not exceeding 28 feet in height. Arago reckons that the mountains of the moon, if viewed with a telescope magnifying 6,- 000 diameters, would present about the same appearance Mount Blanc does from Lake Geneva. knew advertisements.

Then, all the Napier versus Graham row has discredited the profession. The old fellows, of course, say that everything has been done; the young ones maintain that Fogy- ism ruins the profession. I dare say that if one walked into Alula's cafe ut Malta, or the “Lon don” at Plymouth, or any oilier naval haunt, one should hear the new generation holding forth in this style: “ Why. whut cun you expect ? Don’t you re member wlien O had the Mediterranean —dammeo, sir, he could scarcely walk, and he was such an old bore that not half his dispatch es were ever even opened by the Admiralty ? How did Muzzle get tlie Polypus ? What bus he done? ” And so on ud lib. The fact is. that what with borough-mongering, jobbery, public and private, a want of educational system, and a long peace which has not enabled the service to educate nnd purify itself (as war does), our naval organization is very bad, howover good our matci'ial. We have brave men and fine ships, but we have bad government. The Re view was a very splendid affair, und people crowded to it beyond belief: but the railways blundered so, that it is a fact that the peers ne ver saw thu spectacle nt nil! Tho trains were not in time, and the tenders were too small, and then tho steamer would not do. There was a regular debate about it last night in both Houses, and it will amuse England for days. Lord Goderich, (sou of Lord Ripon, formerly known as “Prosperity Robinson,”) a young, radical, spectacled, plain, and monger-looking lord—who, however, is a clever and a good man-carried a motion in the Commons last night, iu favor of competition in tho Civil Ser vice Tliis is ono device for mending things now-n-days, and is slowly being adopted with in finite debate. It has objections—but, unfortu nately, tho old state of things whs fust getting rotten, and when something must ho done, a rational project gets a hearing. Tlie Civil Ser vice lias been recruited anyhow: that is, mem- licrs have bullied Governments out of clerkships for their constituents; Governments havo given oppolntmcnto from party motives; and here and there u wicked old lord at the head ot a Depart ment, lias found husbands for Ills mistresses, or places for his bastard*, by the patronage. Aristocrats, capitalists, radicals, nnd all to gether, havo been equally to blame—it lias been a national affair,you may say; nnd now, wo are trying to settle tliat nil places shall be thrown open for public competition. The motion of Goderich was carried by 21. R will do him good in the country. You know radicalism is one of tho hast games a young lord can play in this country. Coppock (tho Reform Club Attorney) has been heard to exclaim with a lino political forver: “l.ot there bo Universal SullVage, sir, “and give men Badienl lord, nnd I’ll bent you!” I mentioned the Quarterly above. You will sco old Croker figuring us reviewer of Manta- Tho prospect of a good Sugar crop f in Lousinua is very poor. Tlie severity of tho winter killed both seed nnd plant eano to a great extent, and though nn attempt, has been itiudo to get cane from Cuba Im planting, only three ship londs have been obtained—thu Spanish Government, from selfish motives purely, interdicting futhcr shinmunt. The Sugar planter upon the higli lands betweentBayon Sara and Baton Rouge, being utterly unable to get cano have planted their fields with Cotton. King Log.—In speculating about the cause of the loss of the Cuba, recently on the Alabama River, the Montgomery Mail of April 28 says: “The original cause of all this loss of life und property is an ‘old forked oak log, with a large round knot at. the fork.’ On this knot the Sam Dale once hung nnd ground a hole in her bottom; getting out of the scrape only by throwing over eight hundred bales of cotton. Subsequently the Sunny South, Aberdeen, Empire and Cuba, have been destroyed in consequence of its being there. It is estimated that this old log has cost the country a number of precious lives, and about $150,000 in prop erty destroyed and damaged.” A Canadian merchanfat Hamilton ha recovered damages to the amount of $ 3000 from the Montreal Telcgra ph. Line. H is case was brought on the ground of failure on the part of tlie company to deliver, with in a reasonable time, a dispatch sent by him to a New York house, whereby lie sustained, us ullegcd, a loss of the above amount, by a decline in the price of flour. lemhert. “Southey’s Betters” is apparently by tho editor, “Ruskm” by Eastlake; ‘British Family Histories” by tho author of “Singleton Fontciioywho opened last number, also, with a papor oil “Table-Talk.” Tho last title reminds ono of Rogers’ Table-Talk—a hook which is be ginning to bo thought a bore, and to have its old anecdotes exposed and it* good nature ques tioned.
