.Forkion News.?The Asia arrived at New
York at nine o'clock this morning, feeo our
telegraphic news.
That tender or a .Resignation.?" Observer,"
of this city, telegraphed the New York Courier
and Enquirer that Mr. Webster had tendered
his resignation of the State Department to Pre
sident Fillmore, who declined accepting it, but
consented that Mr. Webster might go on the
voyage be contemplated. Mr. Webster's friend,
editor of the New York Commercial, telegraphed
the Secretary of State to know if the statement
of " Observer" was true. Mr. Webster tele
graphed back as follows: " Contradict. Not a
word of truth in it."
It now has come to light that Mr. Webster
did, on two occasions, tender hie resignation of
the State Department to Mr. President Fill- i
more, and that said resignation is held in abey
ance, to be accepted or not, as oircumstances 1
during Mr. Webster's absence may warrant.
We have but one exclamation to make, to
wit: " Oh how this world is given to ."
Tue Gardiner Claim.?The newspapers now
generally agree that there is not " one word of
truth in it"?whether in the late report or the
claim itBelf, some of them do not let us definitely
understand. For us, we do not believe there is
" one word of truth in it" either. Who says we
arc not of the orthodox way of thinking? Gen.
Jarcro's letter in the Intelligenecr of yesterday
morning is very diplomatic; but the Grand
Jury, we doubt not, understands it better than
the public does I
Erroneous Report.?It is with great plea
sure we are enabled to state, that the report of
the death of Colonel Lke, Commissioner of In
dian Affairs, is incorrect, and that our friends
of the Baltimore Sun have been led into an
error by the identity of names. The Colonel
Luke Lee who died in Minnesota, in consequence
of a fall from his horse, was the Indian Agent,
and an uncle of the worthy Commissioner of
Indian Affairs, from whom, and another of the
party to treat with the Sioux, we understand
letters of a late date were yesterday received at
the India Bureau, which speak of his health as
unusually good. We are happy in being thus
enabled to remove so unwelcome an impression
from the minds of the many friends of the Com
missioner.
The Steam-Mail Millionaires who are now
giving excursions and dinners to the President
and Cabinet, and taking Mr. Secretary Webster
and Postmaster General Hall to New York, in
the "Golden Gate," free of expense, are all,
every mother's son of them, as we are informed
by one who professes to know, going to support,
with all their force and power, Stephen A.
Douglas, the "Young Giant of the West," for
President.
Sharp men, these steam-mail millionaires;
they know how to " run with the hare and hold
with the hounds."
Abbott Lawrence.?The Philadelphia Even
ing Bulletin censures, in just terms as wo think,
the participation by our Minister and his family
in the recent masked ball at the Court of St.
James. "Franklin," the Bulletin remarks,
" when at the Court of France, lost nothing by
adhering to his republican habits; and we think
Mr. Lawrence, if he had imitated this example,
would have been not less respected. Mummery
is not in keeping with republican habits. Even
diplomatic courtesy scarcely requires that an
ambassador should demean himself as a man,
and disgrace his nation, by tricking himself out
in costume like a stage-player, and that, too,
when he has children old enough to be ashamed
of the transformation. Nevertheless, if Mr.
Lawrence had, in going to this ball, assumed a
costume not improper to be worn, in his charac
ter of American ambassador, we should have
waived remark. But he did the very opposite
of this. He dressed himself, nominally, as
Governor Winthrop, of Connecticut, but really,
as some theatrical mountebank ; and he caused
his wife to dress herself as Anne Dudley, in a
style equally at variance with truth. What, in
fact, had the velvet, damask and jewels, of
which the newspapers speak so profusely in
describing these costumes, to do with the staid
Reuben Winthrop, or with the plain wife of
Governor Bradstreet."
There are many men in our country worthy
of representing her in any foreign country,
who cannot afford to mingle in such Bcenes,
and who would not be at home in them were
they to make the attempt. In Europe the
dancing-master is a necessary instructor of a
diplomatist. In this country a minister is or
should be taken from the plough, the counting
room, or the attorney's office. Of the elegance
of courts he may profess himself ignorant with
out a blush. We Bhall even be proud of the
representative who will dare to own that he is
not acquainted with the elegant vanities so fa
miliar to the aristocrats of Europe.
House-Bbeaxiko.?Some adroit thief entered
the drug store of Mr. T. C. Mclntire, corner of
Seventh and I streets, on Saturday night last,
nnd robbed the drawer of $20 in silver. The
thief is strongly suspected, and will not proba
bly eseape.
We perceive by a card in this day's Telegraph,
that J. McNeale Latham, esq., has located in
this citjr for the purpose of practising the legal
profeMioft in the courts ef the District.
Fum Ikish Livens, and linen goods gen
erally, may be purchased of Mr. Yerby, as per
advtrtfcaMBt.
A Moonlight Excursion on Friday night/
Cobn ee-Stone of a Cirt?mcH?Adireu by B,
B French.?At Charleston, Jefferson eonnty,
Y? on Saturday last, the corner-stone of a
Presbyterian Church was laid by the Masonic
Order. We learn from the Spirit of Jefferson that
?? the attendance of Brethren and stranger# from
all parts of the State traii very large, and num
bered many of the most important offioera m
the Masonic fraternity. The procession pre
sented a most beautiful appearance, and num
bered a very respectable representation, from
the Sons of Temperance and the Cadets or Tem
perance.
" The address of Mr. Benjamin B. Fremch wan
highly appropriate, and elicited throughout its
delivery the most intense interest, and when it
had been heard the highest commendations. In
very many respects, the address was most ad
mirably Buited to the occasion, and, for beauty
of composition or solidity of thought, is cer
tainly superior to any address of the kind that
we have ever before heard. Mr. French is a
distinguished citizen of Washington.?a gentle
man of considerable literary and scientific attain
ment?and as deserving for the many noble and
generous traits that adorn his social life and
private intercourse, as he is eminent among our
public men for his great practical good sense,
his sound discretion and unerring judgment.
" The llev. Mr. Martin, of the Methodist E.
Church, performed the religious services inci
dent to the occasion, and in a manner most elo
quent and appropriate."
A Discoveby.?"Now I sees into it," said a
country nigger the other day as he came out of
a confectioner's laboratory. 44 Sees into what ?"
said his little bow-legged companion. 44 How
dey keeps de ice in de summah time." " How
does dey do it, den?" 44 Why, dey salts it up
like fresh pork; didn't you see 'em do it?"
Laws a macy, I know'd dat long nuff ago ! ' re
sponded the little nigger; and the two philoso
phical investigators pattered along with a feel
ing of satisfaction known only to those who are
in the successful pursuit of knowledge under
difficulties.
Fatal Duel.?On the 12th instant a duel |
was fought at New Orleans, between Dr. Thos. |
Hunt and J. W. Frost, esq. At the first fire
FroBt received a ball through his heart and fell
dead. The quarrel grew out of the nomination
of a congressional Whig candidate, Dr. Hunt's
brother being in nomination, and Mr. Frost
(who was the editor of the Daily Crescent) being
in favor of another person.
Chuecii Destboyed.?Bishop Blanc, of New
Orleans, obtained through the court possession
of Trinity (Roman Catholic) Church, claimed
by the priest Guidirowesky and a portion of
the congregation, when it was instantly fired
and destroyed by an incendiary. Loss $25,000.
This occurred on the 12th or 13th.
Us. We are sometimes almost sorry that we
ever assumed the management of Governmental
affairs here at Washington; not that we cannot
accomplish the task, but because of the cares it
imposes; for we would not have our brows knitted
and our forehead wrinkled, all in the bloom and
beauty of our manhood?no, not for the whole
United States, and South Carolina to bootl
But we are in for it, and must go through with
all we have assumed.
Mrs. Bartholomew, of Harlem, 111., was in
stantly killed by lightning on Friday night of
last week, while Bleeping in the same bed with
her husband and child.
Gboboia.? Hon. W. B. Wofford has accepted
the " Union" nomination in the Bixth (Cobb's)
district.
In the seventh (Stephens') district Col. David
J. Bailey in the Secessionist candidate.
In the fifth district Col. E. W. Chastain has
accepted the 44 Union" nomination.
Hon. Marshall J. Wellborn, who has hereto
fore been spoken of as the Secession candidate
for Congress for re-election in the second dis
trict, has given in his adhesion to the Union
party.
Expense of West Point Academy.?It ap
pears by the report of the Board of Visiters on
the financial condition of the Military Academy
at West Point, that the annual expense of the
institution is set down at $103,012.80, making
the annual cost to the Government of each cadet
$090.86.
Deduct the number who never enter the
army, divide the whole expenses among those
who do, and then tell us the cost of each gradu
ate for his whole term, and you will show us a
high figure.
Shootino in Baltimobe.?Officer Campbell
was yesterday in the act of distraining the
goods of Cochran & Marsh, when Marsh fired
three Bhots at Campbell and his assistants, and
i wounded Campbell severely, but not danger
ously, in the knee.
Railboad Accident and Lobs of Life.?
The morning train of cars from York, due at
Baltimore at half-past eight o'clock yesterday
morning, did not arrive till noon. The detention
was caused by a burden train running off the
track on the bridge near Burns's, demolishing
the bridge, and precipitating the tender and
several of the cars in the stream below. Mr.
Clark, the fireman on the train, was killed. Mr.
Meredith waB injured so as to leave but little
hope of his recovery.
To Cobbespokdehts.?We are to-day com
pelled to omit a number of original articles.
Some of them, however, being unaocompanied
by the names of the writers, cannot at any time
be inserted.
" T." courts an argumentum ad homintm with

Baltimore, Juno 4, 1861.
Mr. Stockbridge qf the fountain Motel, Lij/IU tired, Haiti
more.
Dear Sir: Being on the point of leaving the city, I
avail myself of a few idle moments to thauk you kindly
for the medicine you sent me, and which has restored me
to the use of my limb*. I beg you to send me four bot
tles more, to carry on my voyage. Since 1 had the for
tune to use Dr. llapipton'* Vegetable Tincture my confi
dence I* ho strong that, in gratitude to the proprietors of
said medicine, I beg you to present my respects to them,
aud induce them to make it more publicly known as a
sure Rheumatic cure. Having called on me on the 19th
of April last, and seen me prostrated on my bed, useless
in all my limbs, you can appreciate nearly as well as my
self the prompt relief I received from Dr. Hampton's
Tincture, and I am positive had it uot been for your
strong and forcible recommendation* 1 should still have
been in bed.
It is really a pity this specific should not be approved
by medical men, and like all patent drugs it should suffer
the imputation the public generally give to such prepara
tions. I myself, who was always opposed to a patented
specific, took this medicine with reluctance, and without
confidence in it, and it was only through your disinterest
ed, friendly' recommendations, and my critical situation,
that induced mo to try this really beneficial Vegetable
Tincturo.
You may inform Messrs. Mortimer A Mowbray that
they are at liberty to make use of my name in the sup
port of the good effects of Dr. Hampton's Vegetable Tinc
ture, a* it has cured me, in five weeks, of a chronic In
flammatory Ithiumatiim, contracted under tropical cli
mates, and of netien years' ixrwdical duration. I have oaly
used three bottles, and find that even the deformed par la
qf my hands are fast returning to their former natural
appoaranoe.
I have been under the treatment of soveral physicians
in London and Paris, without any apparent benefit; also,
while In New York, having tried the Tliompeonlan and
Homuepathlc remedies, alter having been tormented with
galvanic batteries, cold and aromatic baths, and hundreds
of internal and external medicines, all to no effect. I
am, so far, cured by this Hampton'* Vegetable Tincture
only. Therefore, my dear sir, accept of the assurance of
my gratitude, and believe me your well-wisher.
[Siguod] THOMAS CANOT.
WONDERFUL CURE OF HEREDITARY SCROFULA I
This certificate is from the pen of a gentleman whose
name appears on the journal of Congress?ono who is ex
tensively and favorably known:
It affords me pleasure to state that Dr. Jesse Hamp
ton's Tincture has effected a most extraordinary cure of
my *lave boy Albert. The patient was three years old,
and had the Scrofula?(his father is scrofulous.) The boy
was a moving mass of sores from head to foot; the upper
lids of the eyes were much swollen, and turned inside out,
exhibiting horrible mattering ulcers, that protruded over
the eye-ball so as to produce blindness. It is strange, yet
true, this child?that I felt resigned to see die as a relief
from suffering?ha* been restored to health under the
treatment of Dr. Hampton. W. P. THOMASON.
Louisville, March 20,1861.
We have a large number of certificates from our most
respectable citizens attesting cures made by this celebra
ted Tincture of most every disease that " flesh 1* heir to."
Alter all other remedies have failed, we ask the afflicted
to call on the Agents and get pamphlets with certificates
of cures. MORTIMER A MOWBRAY,
