AMT.RTCAN TELEGRAPH WASHIJWroWt FRIDAY AFT^'h"00^' SEPT. 1^ KXCHANOI PaFMK ?Wo ooutiaue to receive by every m.,i uewapaper* ouuUluiag our UtU? <?nl "To the Pub lic," mmI unking au exchange. Our offer iu that Uu be?u Jong wuoe revoked. it Public Schools or Washington.?We are enabled to add the following to the items we have already given of the proceedings of the Board of Trustees on Wednesday evening: Col. Raudolph, from the committee to exam ine the Treasurer's accounts, reported that they had been examined and found to have been carefully kept, and recommended their appro val, which recommendation was unanimously adopted by the Board. It was resolved, unanimously, to request the Counoils to add a second story to the Third District school-house, bo as to provide for the separation of tbe sexes, as in all the other dis trict schools, and to authorize the appointment of a female teacher for the department thus created ; and to authorize the Board to appoint a female assistant in Primary School, No. 1, First District, and one also in the male Prima ry of the Second District, at a salary of $200 per annum?it being understood that it will involve no additional expense for fuel, rent, &c.; the school rooms above-mentioned being both sufficiently large to accommodate two touchers. In view of the higher grade of study, and the increased duties and responsibilities devolv ing on the ladies in charge of the female de partments of the district schools, it was re solved unanimously, on motion of Mr. Abbot, to recommend the Counoils to increase their salaries to $300 each per annum. They at present receive but $250, the same as teachers of the primary schools. Some conversation took place respecting the appointment of assistant teachers, and the hope was expressed, that, at the end of the present year, there might be presented candidates who should be found well qualified from the female department of the district schools. A New Candidate toe the Presidency.? Col. Forney, the clever and able editor of the Penntylva nian, is not without a vaulting ambi tion. " The governing of the United States," he says, " seems to be a very simple and easy pro cess !" What follows ? Why, that he can per form it, of course! But hear his proofs: " It would seem to require no attention either from the President or any of hiB ministers. It is known that since the adjournment of Con gress in March last, lip to the present time, they have scarcely been in Washington for a week at a time." Has the Colonel forgotten that toe are here, and that the President and Cabinet enjoy the ad vantage of our advice aud guidance ? Who at tended to tbe important affairs of Cuba in the absence of the President and his Cabinet, and kept Mr. Stuart's dependants in order, and pre vented their declaration of independence, during that time? We did. Who took care of Mr. Corwin's reputation and Gardiner and Mears claims' perquisites, while he was in Ohio ? We did. Would we do as much for Col. Forney, were he President ? Not a bit of it. We are pledged to see the present dynasty to their journey's end, and once there we shall give up this business of governing the nation. It is troublesome; and as Mr. Fillmore and his min isters every now and then take up the notion of meddling in the affairs themselves, of course there are some tangled and complicated matters to be looked into. Congress may next winter do something in this way, but not enough to get all right for Mr. Fillmore's successor. We think that if the Colonel is wise he will silence tbe promptings of nis ambition, and remain in tbe honorable position he now so nobly graces. Hew Publications. Incidents in the Life of a Potior. By William Winer, D. D. New York: Charles Scribner, 1846. 1 vol. 12mo.?This volume, the author informs ns, is made up of the incidents in a life which has been worn oat in efforts to promote tbe temporal and eternal well-being of those to whom it is dedicated?the members of the congregations over which he has presided as pastor. These incidents extend over a period of more than thirty years. The objects of tbe author are avowed to be ' to assist and encourage younger brethren in ( their labors of love with their dying fellow- * men, and to aid awakened sinners in finding their way to Christ. Tbe subjects treated are very numerous, and the reader passes through them all in agreeable and profitable intercourse with the good and venerable pastor, and cannot control the rising wish that pastors generally would treasure up this kind of experience for the instruction of their fellow-men. This world wears many as pects, all depending upon the points from which it is viewed; and the honest observer, whose position is favorable, should add power to the vision of those less favored. Dr. Wisner has done so; and in this little volume he has hap pily prolonged his influence for good in the world. For sale by Taylor ? Maury, Pennsylvania avenue, between Ninth and Tenth streets.

A young and accom plished lady, Miss Charlotte Vail, cut her throat frosi ear to ear at Brooklyn, New York, the other day Poor thing; how foolish she was. This thing of cutting one's throat, or an old acquaintance, or a worthy lover, is a serious Blatter, and therefore worthy of cool reflection. Whenever such thoughts occur to ns we take a day to eonsider then. We have often escaped dwftrs by rem em baring this rule; and when W9 have forgotfo it we have had oocasion to r<|>?t the forgetfalness Persons who medi iata snieide, or who despair of sucoess in any paranit? abould wait a day bafora finally deter mining: However prosy this may appaar, it is scmndij plUoaophioal, and will ba so pro*sn to a0 who gtf H attention. Tift* L?t? W?w? The news by th? Pacific is to the 8d insUint, from Liverpool; by the Europa to the 6th. that by the Pacific, the principal features are the triumphs of American mechanical invention and ingenuity of the Great Fair, and e goo feeling which enlightened Englishmen evince at the intellectual achievements of their ??trans atlantic cousins," as the Time* calls them. It is very pleasant to observe the good grace with which many, even of the higher ranks of Eng land, receive these evidences of the mental power and great mechanical resources of the IJuited States. Every true philanthropist and patriot will rejoice to witness acta and deport ment calculated to produce enduring peace be tween these two countries. Let the publio opinion of Great Britain frown down the mission of those agitators who ooine from her shores, or assemble within her borders, to meddle with a subject with which they have no special con cern, and which they may safely leave to our "b wn management. Should a course so judicious be pursued, entire confidence may be established betweeu the two nations, to the unspeakable advantage of each; without this, such confi dence on our part is impossible. The London Times notices in the following very agreeable manner our progress from a nearly minimum position of respect, at the com mencement of the Exhibition, to one which, six weeks before the finale, takes rank with the foremost of the nations whose skill, works, and mental faculties generally have been tested in the magnificent exhibition of the Crystal Pal 606 [From the London Times of Sept. 2.] Taking all things together, British and Amer icans have run a pretty fair tie through the trials of this wonderful season. The spring, it must be confessed, opened ill for Brother Jon athan, and for a good while in the race we kept well ahead. We had our great Exhibition? a real new ?? smart" speculation, which did not turn out a failure, which exceeded everybody s hopes, and which brought about no revolutions at all. It was calculated that we should realize $2,000,000, whereas we have got over $2,100, 000 at this very moment, with six good weeks before us. . On the other hand, it is beyond all denial that every practical success of the season be longs to the Americans. Their consignments showed poorly at first, but came out well upon trial. Their reaping machine has carried con viction to the heart of the British agriculturist. Their revolvers threaten to revolutionize mili tary tactics as completely as the original dis covery of gunpowder. Their yacht takes a class to itself. Of all the victories ever won, none has been so transcendent as that of the New York schooner. The accounts given of her performances suggest the inapproachable excellence attributed to Jupiter by the ancient poets, who describe the king of the gods as be ing not only supreme, but having none other next to him: " What's first ?" ?? The America." "What's second?" "Nothing." Besides this, the Baltic, one of Collin's line of steamers, has "made the fastest passtige yet known across the Atlantic," and, according to the American journals, has been purchased by British agents " for the purpose of lowxng the Cunard vessels from one shore of the ocean to the other. [Of course this, if really said by any American journal, was uttered as a joke.] Finally, as if to crown the triumphs of the year, Americans have actually sailed through the isthmus, connecting the two continents of the New World; and while Englishmen have been doubting and grudging, Yankees have stepped in and won the day. So we think, on the whole, that we may afford to slmke hands and exchange congratulations, after which we must learn as much from each other as we can. As for yachts, we have no doubt that by next August every vessel of the Cowes squadron will be trimmed to the vcr^ image of the "America;" there is no doubt that our farmers will reap by machinery ; and the revolver, we fear, is too attractive an em bodiment of personal power to be overlooked by European mischief-makers. Lopes. " TrraaoD doth nerer prosper?wh?t'? the reason f When It onoe proeperi 'tt? no longer treason!" The above couplet has been quoted by * con temporary who wants to know, if Lopez and his men had been successful, whether they would not have been good fellows and patriots instead of pirates and traitors T W e have never been enamored of the military character of Lopex, says the l'eiintylvantan, though his courage can scarcely be doubted. But he is defeated and dead ; and how soon the 1 censorious read his faults in his failure. ?' Lo i pes deserved his fate," ssys the New York Ex press. Poor fellow ! he was not the winner in the game; and is it not somewhere written of fashionable morals, that " it is not a sin to gam ble, but it is a grievous sin to lose?" What a wondrous alchemist is success. How it changes those whom the world would call robbers into genuine heroes 1 how it stifles the compunctions of tender consciences! how it convinces the contumacious! Suppose Lopex had been a victor instead of a victim?what then? The metropolitan press would have hailed in him a new Cortex ; France would have compared him to Napoleon; and America, to Lafayette; and all would have been forgiven by a pleased and flat tered public. He has fallen; and so low, that there are none to do him justice. Let us all abuae Lopes. "He deserved his fate!" He should have been drawn and quartered; his body burnt, and the ashes strewn in the wind. What right had he to go to Cuba to punish the Castilian cut-throats?and fail t " He deserved ! his fate!"

To the Editors of ihe American Telegraph. Ukhtlxmsm: Your correspondent ??Com mentator," does well, so far as lie goes, In showing up the famous Gardiner owe, and the doings of tha principal actors in it; but, upon that subject, ?? Much yet remain' uniui>|." Is it not an unprecedented and unhaard-of act for the President of the United 8tates to interpose bis dictum between the law and a person indicted for obtaining a vast sum of money out of the United States Treasury, by fraud and perjury, and authorizing a portion of the money alleged to have been thus obtained, after it had been caveated, or attached, by the Government, to be used and set aside for the bail of the individual thus indicted. Why did President Fillmore do this thing? Is not the power thus exercised by him a usurped power? What right had he to inter pose his prerogative to change the usual cur rent of the law, and pledge himself in advance to provide bail for the person indicted for a heinous criminal offence? Does not the law require that a person arraigned before a court, for obtaining money by fraud and peijury, shall give bail in twice the amount of the sum he is charged with having thus fraudulently obtained ? The charge of the indictment against Dr. Gardiner is that he has, by fraud and perjury, obtained $428,750 out of the people's treasury, which he was not entitled to. President Fill more tries, at first, to be very indignaat about the matter, and hunts up and causes to be caveated some $40,000 of the award deposited with Corcoran and Biggs, and also, as it is pro claimed, some $130,000 of the same award de posited with the Life Insurance and Trust Com pany of New York. These two sums, if they both exist, as the depositee of Dr. Gardiner, amount to $170,000 only. And this iB all of the award of $428,750 that the Government is sure of getting back, should the Gardiner Claim prove to have been a fraud. In this stage of proceedings, the President of the United States steps forward and declares that enough of the deposited proceeds of the award to bail Dr. Gardiner shall be released from the caveat, and set off to secure the gen tleman going bail for the person indicted. What sort of an unheard-of proceeding is this ? Why did not the President institute rigid in quiry to ascertain where the remainder of the award had gone? Why did he not interpose his prerogative to ascertain how much of the award had been paid out of the Treasury to each of the counsel, attorneys, and agents of Dr. Gardiner ? Why did he not ascertain whe ther said counsel, attorneys, and agents, were not afraid to trust Dr. Gardiner with the whole award from the Treasury, but took the precau tion to first get each a power of attorney from him to draw their fees and interest directly from the Treasury ? Why did he not interpose his prerogative to have those large sums of the award raised by the oounsel, attorneys, and agents of Dr. Gardiner, caveated, as well as the smaller amount which fell to the share of the principal? If the whole award was ob tained by fraud and peijury, then was it not the President's duty to seek to caveat all parts of it, as well as the small part which fell to the lot of Dr. Gardiner ? Why did he not caveat [ the part received by Thomas Corwin, his Secre tary of the Treasury, whether it was nominally only $80,000, or in reality more than $120,000? Why did he not caveat the part received by General Waddy Thompson, wh6 purchased'a likely gang of some forty-nine negroes in Mary land and took tbem to South Carolina ? Why did he not caveat the parts received by Mr. Robert Corwin, Major Lally, Edward Cur tis, and such others as were recipients of parts of the award ? In fine, why did he not leave it with the well paid counsel, attorneys, and agents to bail Dr. Gardiner, or not, as their consciences and their purses might dictate ? But no, Mr. President Fillmore must needs step in and furnish bail for Dr. Gardiner, by his own act, and out of the small portion of the great award which had been secured by caveat. It teas "a humane arrangement"?humane to wards all who had shared in the award. 0. P. Q. Th? Murdik or Youwo Mumdhl.?Our ac count of this distressing incident, yesterday, was written before the result of the inquest was known, and before the facts had been fully and accurately developed. We therefore avail ourselves of the later and more authentic state ment given by the Intelligencer. The murdered boy is by every one spoken of as a most exem plary, handsome, and generous youth, and his death is much lamented. The Intelligencer says: " It appears that a party, consisting of three men and two boys, all attached to the Marine garrison, proceeded on a gunning excursion. There were but three guns. William Wel^s, a private in the Marine oorps, was extremely de sirous to obtain from Samuel Mundell, the de ceased, his fowling-piece, which was repeatedly refused. On their arrival at the grounds of Mr. Atchinson, an altercation ensued between Wells and young Mundell, during which the latter raised his gun in a menacing position, when Wells sprung towards him, seized the | piece with one haud, raised it as if he intended to knock the boy down, then fell back a short distance, cocked it, took deliberate aim and fired, lodging the contents of the gun in the ! left side of young Mundell's neck, breaking the collar-bone, severing the arteries, and cutting the windpipe in two. The boy died instantly, i j "Yesterday morning Mr. Woodward, the! I coroner, held an inquest, which resulted in the rendition of the following Verdict: ? That the ' said Samuel Mundell, aged fourtee? years, ? came to his death by a gun-shot wound in the ' left shoulder, fired from a gun in the hands of ? William Wolls, a marine, on the evening of ? Wednesday, September 17, 1861 ; the said I? Wells having fired at the said Mundell whilst ? under the influence of passion ; the said gun ? being wrested from the hands of said Mundell ? by Wells previous to his firing.'" Dsath at the Bailroau Station.?A coro ner's inquest was held last evening, at the freight office, over the body of Washington Lewis, aged about forty years, whose residence was at Beltsville, in Prince George's county, Maryland. It appeared from the testimony of witnesses that, after the locomotive, attaohed to which were the baggage and freight cars, had started, at five o'clock in the afternoon, for the purpose of connecting with the passenger cars, the deceased ran with a view of getting on the front of the baggage car. He succeeded in grasping the railing, and apparently pUced one &ot on the steps, when he slipped and was dragged between the cars. Three wheels had passed over him, and the fourth was resting on his body, when, an alarm being given, the cars were stopped; and this was effected as soon as possible. The jury believe that he thus came to.his death, and that no blame is attached to any one connected with the csrs. The man was nearly cut in two, and one leg entirely separated from his body. Even several articles of hardware, suoh as chisels, in his pockets, were broken into fragments. It was given in evidence that he was a steady and industrious man, had a family, was a miller and blacksmith, and had been on a visit to the eity to make purchases?/tyttMte. The Pusrourr reached Boston on the morn ing of Wednesday, and vu received by the luthoritiM and the people of the city of Boston, and the vast crowd of the visiters from the in terior of Massachusetts and from other States, in a manner which we shall to-morrow have the pleasure of giving our readers an aocount of. He was accompanied from this city, as our readers know, by Mr. Secretary Co*had aud Mr. Secretary Stuast, who have doubtless had their share of the hearty welcome extended to the President.?Intelligencer. Death o? R*v. Levi R. Rikse.?The Balti more Argut of yesterday had just learned that this distinguished minister of the Methodist Protestant Church died, after a short illness, at five o'clock yesterday morning, on the Eastern shore of Maryland, whither he had gone on a visit. Mr. Reese had the honor of being seleoted at several sessions as one of the Congressional Chaplains. He was twice elected President of the Maryland Conference, and in every station to which he was called he brought with him a mind well stored with practical knowledge, and a firm determination to discharge the duties imposed upon him with fidelity to those by whom be had been selected. Europe.?Austria, says a New York paper, by the advances of the Emperor to absolutism of the most barbarous sort, is rapidly drifting onward to another revolution. France is but a smouldering heap of combustibles; a spark at any day may ignite the whole mass, and set Europe again in a blaze. The condition of Switzerland and Italy, all Italy, is revolutionary; and, in fact, the Emperor Nicholas is wise in his preparations for a European war. The Sul- ^ tan has resolved finally, and KosButh is doubt less now free. We shall, with the next arrival, expect intelligence still more pointed and im-: portant. The reaction, if we mistake not, has actually commenced. Europe is only waiting for France. . ______ Crime in New Orleans.?The Now Orleans papers, of the 8th instant, chronicle the mur der in a coffee-house of a fireman named Michael O'Brien; the stabbing of a police officer in three places; the highway robbery and probably fa tal Btabbing of a man named David Woods; the biting a man's ear off; and numerous other offences of greater or less enormity.
