CITY OF WASHINGTON.
? INDiV MOBNINU, JAN. *, 1?6?.
Mew Vear's Day.
Yesterday was very generally devoted to the inter
change of visits and the salutations of the season, by tbe
ciuzeu* of tbe Federal Metropolis. Tbe morniug wm
unusually fa r and mild ; and although about noon tbe
weslbci became somewhat gloomy, yet the Avenue con
tinued throughout the day to mam feat every indication of
gayety arid pleasure. The diplomatic corps were received
by the President, and the While House was thronged by
the numbers who called to manifest their respect for the
Chief Magistrate of tbe country. Altogether, the Arst
Jay of eighteen hundred and fifty-three was a day of joy
and festivity iu Washington city.
The Prospects of the Whig Party.
Tbe New York Tribune?which, up to the veiy day of
tbe election, boasted so loudly that the democrats would be
overcome iu the presidential contest?now stuns up as
follows the condition and prospects of the whigs:
" No, ws inuat bo moderate in our expectations Divis
ions will come. We shall ?ee a row, and disintegrations,
aiU crumbling*. and dissolving*. Hut we must be patient.
Ws muit have more elections. Wo expect to see the re
mains of tho whijjs rapierod a few limns yet. The blade
ill 11 it be put through the dead body yet once or twice by way
of making tbe thing sure ? Did you feel anything 1' aiked
the man who wielded an enchanted sword, of his aniugo
nlit. ' Nothing but a chili,' win the reply. ' Shake yourself,'
?aid lbs man ot the enchanted sword, and 'you will (all
topiecei.' The whigs have been pierced (we mean no
pun) and must go to pieces. A routed army must organize
anew, replenish with fresh recruits, and appear on a new
tield. Weakened by desertion, torn by feuds, demoralized
by faithlest leaders who have betrayed it into the hands of
theeuemy, its broken squadrons in full flight, it is impossi
ble it should be able to recover at once and tuin with the
lesst prospect orsuccess upon the overwhelming number*
ofiu flushed and triumphing antagonist."
Tbe proposed remedies of tbe Tribune are delay and a
new organization. The difficulty in this treatment of tbe
case is, that one of the prescriptions plainly conflicts with
tbe other. Kvery day's delay renders the new organiza
tion more impracticable, by divorcing more completely
the two wings of tbe whig party, and placing them more
and more in opposition to each other. Thus it is manifest
that tbe Tribune contemplates a new whig organization,
which shall have for its main element and motive pow
er a renewal of the sectional agitation ai ;q?t the now
ascertained and admitted democratic policy, that point.
But meantime it is becoming equally man Hiat the
portion of tbe whig parly which styles itself - national"
is daily becoming more and more tirmly resolved to re
pudiate and oppose any such new organization. Nor is
it easy to see upon what other questions the whig party
bas now a chance of uniting. F>en in the present
Congress?and much more, if we may judge from present
appearances, in the next?it would be difficult to obtain a
full whig-party vote upon any question of public policy
now before the country. What is true in this respect of
the wbigs in Congress is quite as true of the whig voters
at home. Tbe proposed new organization de|>ends
wholly, therefore, on the "chapter of accidents," and
delay appears likely to diminish rather than increase its
cbatces of success
The President Elect.
A correspondent of the Boston Post, speaking of the .
net administration, the importance of the trust to be i
committed to President Pierce, and the well-grounded |
confidence the people have in his patriotism aud ability,
concludes with the following remarks :
"The entire surroundings of Gen. Pieroo down to this
boar ere eminently lavorable. It would seein as if tbe ex
cellent spirit ol wisdom and oounsel dwelt within biin.
Laok at bit position immediately anterior to his uomlna
uon when he urged that hit name might not be presentod
to tfce National Convention. Look at bis modest yet able
letMr of acceptance. Look at bis retirement, silence,
aul dignity during tbe whole of tbe canvass Look at bis
manner of receiving the news of bis election, amid the tiring
ol eannon and the huzzas ol bis troops of fuends. Look at
hint in the legislature ol New Hampshire, when the tad
tidings of tbe death of Webster were olBoially proclaimed
la Concord, at he uttered that sublime sentiment, yet to
pass into a recorded memorial and meine.ito all over the
la id?'Tbe great heait of the nation beats heavily at the
portals of Webster's giave ' Look at his judicious way ol
receiving avowed place-seekers, and the suggestions of par
ties interested lor the >itcc??:o* and their own dear selves
Look at his replies to committees of arrangements, public
bodies, and voluntary associations. And Anally, look at
his sagacity and depth in preserving intaot his own purpose
wiih regard to the materials of his cabinet and the designs
of his future government. Lwk at all these things, aad you
l)ivs Franklin Pierce before you."

Ii is bul ? few in on I 1m since we b?d to record the loas of a
valuable ship and neb caigo of oil in ibe remote and little -
known and now uiuch-frequeuled North Pacific ocean
1 be lota of tbe ship Huulrese baa been quickly followed
by anotliei accident,aa will be ?t?u fioin ibe following ex
tract of a letter from a very intelligent and adventurous
youtb on board of the abip Superior. Tbe crew were
rescued by a miracle from starvation on tbe one side, and
deatb on the other from the savages frequenting the icy
shores of Siberian Russia. Why do these accidents oc
cur so frequently .' Tbe question is easy of solution
The North Pacific ocean, including Behring's straits, is
now the most profitable whaling ground for our six bun
dred hardy whalemen , and of the geography of this
grand nuiseiy of our seamen less is known than of
any pari of the globe. There is not a single chart of any
extent of the coasts or seas, based upon reliable surveys
Detached sections only have been surveyed. Our enter
prising fellow-citizens, the Messrs. Bluut, of New York,
by great exertions, have issued tbe best chart exiant of
these seas, entirely without assistance from government.
To foster commerce and promote and protect the interests
of the seaman, is to enrich the country and rear up a
large, active, and invincible corps of men to man and
lead our navy to victory in time of war. To neglect the
great commercial affairs of our government is to impov
erishour treasury, and reduce and destroy our naval and
maritime strength.
By the last dates from Ihe Sandwich Islands it is
known that the season just closed in the whaling re
gions has been a most prosperous one?rich yields of oil
are the rewards of the bald navigators. What, 1 would
ask, is the duty of government, in order to extend proper
facilities to the Heels of ships threading their way in
these dark, hidden, and little-known seas? Let a well
tquipped and efficient force be despatched at once, with
ample means at hand, and diligently survey and explore
the route of our whalers?seek ports of refuge?deter
mine accurately every island, headland?and track
the coasts, far and wide, from Northwest America to
China?hunt up and locate the many reefs and islands
that now obstruct the path for oar steamers to China
from San Francisco. How better can portions of our
navy in time of peace be occupied i Like adventures
and enterprises suit the genius of our people. They
rear up and mature active minds, and prepare them for all
the duties and responsibilities of naval life. We rejoice
to find, by examination of the report of the Secretary of
the Navy, that an effective squadron, in compliance
with tbe late law of Congress, is now rapidly preparing
to depart the waters of the Atlantic for the express pur
pose of devoting several years to a minute investigation
and survey of the route to and from China and America,
both from the Atlantic and Pacific shores; and also for
the primary object of accurately surveying and preparing
facilities in the North Pacific ocean, Behrings straits,
&ic. The expedition is a most important and interesting
national enterprise. Results of inestimable value, both
to the practical and scientific world, may be looked for.
Other nations are looking to these new fields of com
merce, and watching oar movements with interest.
Squadrons for similar and rival purposes are in content'
plation abroad. Let us be in advance of them, and give
every assistance to our young and adventurous officers,
who have volunteered to perform the hazardous and ex
posed duty.
Ttie objects of the expedition are of great national im
portance, and the enterprise merits, beyond all question,
the fostering and attentive care of the country during its
absence abroad. We hope the proper authorities will
see to its effectiveness, and keep it well supplied with all
the means of success.
The whaling trade in all its various and rich resources
has, to this time, although one of the most prolific
sources of wealth to our country, been much neglected.
If the expedition had no other object in view than the in
terests of this branch of trade, it would be money well
expended, and only and justly due to the citizens
who engage in it, and the hardy, honest, and worthy
men who go abroad in the fleets of well-found whale
ships. Some of the many dangers arising from imper
fect knowledge and inctfr/ect charts of the coasts of
Northwestern America and Russian Siberia, &c., will be
best understood by a careful perusal of the letter an
nexed, detailing the loss of the ship Superior.
Extract of a letter from on board the ship Superior,
lost off Cape Prince of Wales, Behring's straits, Augui;
11. 1552:
"My dear parents: The barque Black Kagle will
leave the wtialing ground immediately Pn ihe taking of
one more whalei and I thought it would be a good op i
portuniiy to let yon hear from me. Captain Babcock
goes to the Sandwich islands in her, and I would too, if i
1 could gel a chance, but 1 cannot The ship Superior |
was cast away on a small island (six miles long, and j
about twenty rods wide) in the Anadir ses, at ihe mouth
of the gulf of the Holy Cross, and about half a mile from
I the coast of Siberia, on the 11th of last month ( but for
tunately none of our live* were lost. We Were taking
oil fast fot several days previous, and everything seemed
to indicate a full ship. A heavy fog shut in about nine
o'clock, a rn , and, after taking in- tore and miZMn top
gallant sail* and flying jib, stood on the wind, starboard ,
tacks aboard. It being the larboard watch below, 1
:iinieil into my tn'nk ; at six hells i \V,is awakened l>v ;
! the sudden striking of the ship on the saudbeach, and her
careening heavily to leeward. Orders were immediately
given to scuttle the casks of oil on deck, which amounted
to some two hundred barrels, and to lieava overboard
j everything we Could get a hold of on deck, in order to
lighten ship, in the mean tune I wo boats were lowered,
i in order to carry a ked||e out stream, and after some diffi
culty they Succeeded Id getting it out. 'Ve sow began
to heave on the windlass, but it soon became evident tnat
it was of n? use, as the kedge was drawing Our only
chance was now to set the top-sails and try to stand off;
but it failed, and made matters worse, by sluing the ship
a-broadside on We now gave up all hopes of saving
her. At this time the fog cTeared up a little, and showed
I to as an Indian looking at us about half a mile off lie
watched us a lew moments, and then disapjieared to the
other side of the island Presently we saw about ane
hundred of them come running down towards us, drag
ging their hide canoes after them, and accom(*nieiJ t.y a
great quantity of dogs They presented a very far from
pleasant sight to US, as we knew not what to expect
from them Captain B. told us to treat them all kindly,
and he gues?ed they would not trouble us The Indians
now assembled on the beach, arid made signs of friend
ship, which we returned snd renewed by giving them
one hundred arid fifty pounds of tobacco, hatchets, 4tc
" We now went to work and erected a tent on ahore,
and commenced getting off provisions, which we con
tinued doing until the 16th, when the heavy rolling of I
the surf tore the wreck to pieces We fitted out two
whaleboats to go to sea in search of s ship, but the wind
settinx from the eastward we did not put out. On Ihe
i.'ith three ships were in sight. Immediately we launched
two boat*, which started for them Tho?e of lis ashore
put up a spar, and run up the star-spangled banner, union ;
down, and then msde as large a fire as we could In the
Course of three hours we saw one of Ihe ?hi|>s baric her ;
main yard, which gave us the joyful assurance that w?
were noticed We saw her hoist in our boats and run
down for the land ; then she dropped anchor, and we
were safely rescued We might, |>erhaps, have had to 1
remain there; and how many of us would hsvs lived
through ihe perils of a Siberian winter, (?od only knows.

We notice the paia^raph copied above going the
round* of the newspaper press, and we insert it for the
purpose of making some coinnenls upon it, and adding
some new items iu regard to this maaterly actor, so re
cently deceased.
Mr. Booth was a midshipman in the Briti?h brig Boxer
during the war of 1013. This be often spoke of with
gratification. But upon further conversation with a
veleian friend of the drama in tins city, who was on in
timate terms with Mr. Booth, ire learn wbat is no doubt
the real fact in the case, (and is what Mr. B. communi
cated to him.) that lust prior to the action of these two
vessels Booth left the Boxer, and was not in the sauguiu
ary battle named.
When fie came to this city, some six or seven years
since, to fill an engagement at the Museum in Union
street?and to which his skill drew overfl iwing house*?
he had buen told that the old hulk whicb, it will be rec
ollected, lay so long on the shore at I lie loot of India
street, was the remains of the Boxer. He took eaily oc
casion to hud the wreck, and was manifestly disappointed
when told it was not his old cialt. lie then inquired
for the grave-yard, as he desired, he said, to visit the tomb
of hi* old commander.
The assertion that Booth was competing with Kean on
the London boards in 1814 must be an error. We have
seen no account that places him over 50 years of age
when lie died. Allowing him to be so old, and in 1814
he was but 20 ft is not probable that he was contesting
the palm with Kean at that early age iu Loudon. The
London boards are not attained so suddenly by the great
actors. Both Cooke and Kean waited weary years in
the provincial theatres belore they were summoned to the
ordeal of a London audience. '1 hut Booth was a mid
shipman in the Boxer may be set down as certain ; for his
narrative and the attendant incidents attest it.
Booth was a great favorite in this city, and always con
ducted himself with marked propriety. He never disap
pointed the audience in not appearing, or failed to come
u|> with their expectations, hut carried them with him in
his bold and masterly delineations Thousands of those
who reverenced his mighty control of the passions have
gene down to the silent grave, and their very names have
been forgotten, hut the name of this magician of the
heart is unalterably associated with legitimate fame, and
a laurel wreath will ever encircle it, green and fresh as
that which welcomed him when first lie burst upon the
English dramatic world.
It will be many years before we shall see a Shylock, or
Sir Giles, a Richard,Othello, or Lear, like those of Booth.
Indeed, his King L^ar, it seems to u?, never cm he sur
pi!>sed. We considered it his master-piece, and followed
the white-haired, petula..t, neglected monarch, with as
leeiing a heart, under the masterly guise of Booth, as
though it were a hardship of real life. Peace to the ashes
of this man, who has moved the hearts ol countless mul
titudes as a forest of leaves is swayed by the breeze!
May the lessons he taught, year after year, through the
readings of the mighty bard, go far to throw into oblivion
the errors of the tragic magician '.?Portland Argui.

son, the Hon. Edward J. Harden, of Savannah Dr.
McWhir, a native of Ireland, and educaied at Belfast
and Glasgow, was a most accomplished scholar and
teacher. He was, soon "after his arrival in this country,
chosen principal of the Academy ot Alexandria, which
post he tilled for ten years. His advantages of frequent
and familiar intercourse with Gen. Washington, gave
him an ample opportunity ot speaking with the utmost
accuracy in regard to Ins characier and habits We ap
pend two or three of Dr. Whit's reminiscences:
" A few days after his return to Mount Vernon, then as
he was, and as he ever will be, in all human probability,
the greatest man in the world, in company wuh a coun
tryman of mine, Colonel Fitzgerald, one of WafInngton's
aids, i visited hun. At the dinner table, Mrs. Washing
ton sat at the head) and Major Washington at the loot
The General sat next Mrs. Washington on ib? left. He
called upon me to a?k a blessing Before meat. When
the cloth was about to be removed, he returned thanks
Mrs. Washington, with a smile, said, 'My dear, you
forgot that you had a clergyman dining with you to-day '
With equal pleasantness he replied, ' My dear, I wish
clergymen and all men to know that I am not a gtaultn
man.'
" I was frequently at Mount Vernon, and saw him
frequently at Alexandria ; nor did I ever see any per
son, w hatever might be Ins character or standing, who
whs not sensibly awed in his presence and by the im
pression of hts greatness The vivacity and grace of
Mrs Washington relieved visiters of roirn of that aw?
and restraint wIim Ii po^sesiied them He was unilofmly
grave, and smile.I but seldom, but always agreeable.
His favorite subject of conversation was agriculture,
and he scrupulously avoided, in general society, topics
connected with politics* or the war of his own personal
actions As all the world knows, he Was most regular
in his hahna. ? ? ? . ? ? ?
"Gen. Washington visited his neighbors and friends
but seldom in consequence of his numerous engagements,
and the innltitude ot visiters which he received from all
countries He sometimes went to spring parties, a kind
of barbecue, and the river istrtirs. He occasionally at
tended public worship in Alexandria, hut his regular
plate of worship was a church in the vicinity of Mount
Vernon, of which b? was a vestry man and a communing
member.
" I was at the public meeting of the cilirens of Alex

farewell of him, when he was called to (he presidential
chair. The large hotel was Crowded to overflowing,
and as great a multitude surrounded the doors and win- ,
dovPA Th? address to General Washington was written
by Colonel Marry I^r, and delivered by the mayor of the
city. The reply of General Yvashington was longer than
the address Mis style of oratory was grave and com
minding, nor was it possible when he spoke to deny the
most flved and earnest attention His sentiments fell
upon the people lil-e oracles During the delivery of
Col. I>ee's address, and e?|>ecially during the reply of
Washington, a breathless silence |>ervaded the multitude,

Alexander Dn uas ts a few months less than fifty
years old, and for some twenty-seven >ears has been
known as a writer During this time he has published
more novels, plays, travels, and historical sketches than
any other man that ever lived. It is well understood that
be is not the author of all the works that appear under
his name, but that young writers gain a living hy work
ing out the plots and situations that his fecund brain sug
gests , when the novel or the play is complete, Dumas
gives it a revision, touches up the dialogue, dashes in
here and there a spirited scene of his own, and then re
ceives from the publisher an enormous sum, which he
incontinently squanders. We presume that no Itturalrvr
baa ever earned so much money as D.imas ; and yet
within two or three years he has been in *ieat straits,
and is quite likely to be short of funds on thi? very day
Undeniably a man of genius, endowed with true fertility
of imagination and masterly power of expression, one
looks in vain through the whole range of his produc
tions for a noble work of art. Corrupt in ideas and
unscrupulous and reckless in purpose, he has impressed
upon hit plays and romances the melancholy stamp
of n dissolute civilization , they glitter in the tinsel j
of theatrical sentiment that sets off but does not
pretend to hide the most monstrons. and often the
moat repulsive conceptions Always writing slap

work into artistic proportion and consistency, and it
launches upon the world as crude and faulty a* the hasti

railroad speed to earn the writers' stipend and the em
ployer's profit, needs mu?t be Hut, at the nme tune,
such is the vivacity of his descriptions, such the mtrain
of his narrative, such the boldness of his invention, such
the point of his dialogue and the rapidity of his incidents,
so matchless often the felicity and (kill of particular pas
sages, that he al ways inflames the interest of the reader
to the end. Vou may be angry with him, you may tind
him guilty of every literary and every personal fault, but
you will confess that he is the opposite of tedious

TtlE gial in pant*.?" Emma Snodgrass," who has
been so notorious of late in visiting different parts of New
England, was arrested last evening in this city by police
officer Oliver, and was this morning arraigned in the po
lice court on a charge of vagrancy; the examination ?f
which, however, resulted in her complete triumph and
her consequent discharge from custody.
It is understood that she is the daughter of a New
York official.
The examination developed the fact that prior to the
first arrest of the accused she was regularly employed as
a clerk in one of our mercantile palaces, and that during
all her subsequent wanderings, far and near, she had
been well supplied with money, and all bills were
promptly paid, so that the charge ef " being without
home, lawful employment, or means of support" could
not be legally sustained, and the court promptly ordered a
discharge-?much to the apparent satisfaction of a crowded
audience.
His honor afterwards had an interview with Emma in
the judge's private room, and gave her some most fatherly
and wholesome advice touching her recent eccentricities,
which she received with becoming grace, and promised a
reformation. It is expected that she will at once return
to her home in New York
She was to day dressed in her usual male attire, which
is really little or no disguise, her form being so light and

Patent self-raising fl >ur is an article entering into rery
general consumption, one thousand barrels being now
manufactured at the Croton mills per month. It* pecu
liar properties are imparted uy incorporating with the
flour, during its manufacture, super-carbonate of soda
and tartaric acid, in suitable proportion*. Not less than
one hundred thousand pounds of the former and seventy
thousand pounds of the latter have been imported during
the last six months, to be used in the preparation of the
self-raising flour. By the new process, the usual way
of raising bread by the partial decomposition of the
dough (which is said to cause a deterioration of the valu
able qualities of the Dour, and a loss equal to sixteen per
cent, in weight, compared with bread raised without
yeast) is avoided. The proprietors of the Croton mills
are preparing to giv* a collation at their establishment
during the next week for the benefit of house-keepers,
at which they propose to serve up bread, biacuit, fcc.,
from the self-raising Hour, produced within forty-five
minutes from the dry fljur. _
The Croton mills drive fifteen runs of stone day and
night, employ sixty men, and consume annually about
?ix hundred thousand bushels of wheat, besides oats and
corn in large quantities. In preparing the various articles
manufactured, flour, farina, tic , for market, four hun
dred and sixty thousand yards of muslin and coarse bag
ging are consumed, and fifteen hundred reams of paper.
The machinery ia driven by an oscillating engine, the
motive |?ower b<ing furnished by two of Montgomery's
patent tubular boilers; and from the exhausted attain all
parts of the establishment are abundantly heated. It is
believed that the quantity of fl jur annually manufactured,
amounting to one hundred thousand barrels, exceeds the
product of any other fljuring mill in the country.

The new year hiu coiue iu upon us with an unusually
mild atmosphere, compared with ita coining last year
(t in now warm enough to do without fires and over
coata; then it waa sufficiently cold for both The (roat
king reigned triumphant; now he seems almost to have
deserted hi* throne
I Many of our citizens to Jay are participating in the
very excellent custom ot making annual calls, renewing
old friendships, passing the complement* of the season,
Sic. This practice is gradually gaining ground in Balti
more, and I think it will not be many years before it is
generally adopted. There seems to be no peiiod of time
more appropriate for making good resolves?for review
ing the [jast and improving upon the future. To do so
effectually, it would be well that the first day in every
year should be free from business, and a brief period al
lowed to reflect, form good resolves, and ratify them by
I fitting resolution.
We have any quantity of political speculators, cabinet
makers, and wise pro<noaticators in this city, as regards
what will be done by the incoming administration of
President Pierce. My own impression is, that the wisest
of them know hut little, and that the General himself will
be the first and best to interpret the " handwriting upon
the wall." His democratic friends teem to understand
this, and make themselves content with an abiding con
fidence 111 their chief.
Now, since the smoke of the contest has entirely van
ished, I find even those who were the bitterest enemies
(politically) to the noble son of New Hampshire willing
to admit that he will make a President worthy the full
confidence of the American people.
Madame Bishop's grand opera troup? appears at the
Holliday street thsatre on Monday night next.
Extensive preparations are making for the opening of
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad on the 10th instant.
About five hundred of our citizens will visit Wheeling
on that occasion. The trip will be extended as far as
Cincinnati and Louisville.
Business to-day is quiet?sales of about 1,000 barrels
of Howard street flour at $5 1 ; also 500 barrels City
Mills at the same price. This is a decline of 25 cenfs per
barrel since Monday last. The receipts of flour into this
port during the past year have increased about 400,000
barrels over the previous year, which at $5 per barrel
would amount to two millions of dollars. Rye flour,
$4 50. Corn meal, $3 68.
