&P1KIT OF THE MORNING PRESS, j
The Union, to-day, publisher the following
General Grder," embracing the official an
nouncem*nt of the death of the late venerable
General Walbach It speaks eloquently, in
deed. for the memory of the gallant and ao-uni
?ersally respected decea.?ed:
General Criers.# IIeadiji*artkrs of thi Army,
i-u "o9? , V _. . Vork. J uue 13,1857.
The General-in-Chief lias the.painful duty of
announcing to the army the death of one of its
general otter*. and the oidest in length of ser
vice, Brevet Brigadier General John de Bnrth
W albach, who died in Baltimore, on the 10th
inst., at tiwaye of SO.
A native of Freneh Alsace, General Walbach,
after having served in Kuroptan armies, entered
our# as an t flicer about the close of the last cen
tury. and was a member of the staff of Major
General Alexander Hamilton. Belonging at dif
ferent times to the cavalry and to more tnan one
rf the staft' corps, he became finally, in t5?15, an
officer of artillery, and rose to the command of
the fourth regiment In 1H-. The faithful and
creditable character of his service may l?e in
ferred from the farts that he was retained throngh
two reductions of the army establishment, and
?was often brevetted?first, a major for "gallant
conduct in the battle of ChrvstlerN Fields" in
1B13; second, a lieutenant colonel "for merito
rious services" in lfeld; third, a colonel for 4- ten
years' faithful service" in IMS; and last, a brig
adier general for like conduct in 1>*50.
His lon-4 life and military career were charac
terized by some of the ?>est traits of a gentleman
and a soldier?unwavering intecrity, truth and
honor, strict attention to duty and zeal for service;
and he tempered the administration of an exact
discipline by the most ele-vated courtesies.
Appropriate honors will lie paid to the memory
of the deceased by his lat*? regiment.
By comuund of Brevet Lieutenant General
Scott: Gkorgk W. I.AT,
Acting Assistant Adjutant General.
Tho Intelligencer publishes a long manifosto
from General W aikcr. of Nieiraguan fnme. to
tho Pres: lett of the 1 nitcd States, complaining
of his treatment at tbe bands of Commander
Davis and Commodore Mervine. through whose
agency he escapcd aiive from Central America.
But for the fact that tbe American public havo
long since learned to appreciate General Wulk
er's bulletins, manifestoes, letters for the press,
Ac.. Ac., some readers of this document might
imagine that the subsequent conduct of the offi
cers it seeks to arraign was not in strict keeping
with the spirit of mercy which induced their
interference to snatch him from the jaws of such
a ?ste at the bands of the Costa Ricans. as (ac
cording to hundreds of published letters from
persons comprising a portion of the fillibuster
force) he is accredited with meteing out to de
fenceless American? in his power, who offended
him. In this case however, all will recognize
in the paper but a continuation of the style of
writing which charactered his bulletins an
nouncing the victories that afterwards turned
out to be defeats Those who know Commander
I)avis personally, are well aware that he is in
capable of stating aught but the truth concern
ing any thing, and will receive his statement of
the circumstances under which he stepped for
ward, in a spirit of mercy to save Walker's life,
a? being true to the letter. In weighing against
his representations any thing that may ema
nate from the filibusters, the public will hardly
forget the statements of the letters and des
patches asservating and glorifying over the vic
tory at 5an Gorge s, wherein so many Costa
Kicans were represented to have been killed, as
that the fllhbusters had to give over the enjov
ment of the amusement of despatching them,
from sheer exhaustion consequent upon the
labor incident to the sport.
ISOTES BY THE WAY.
[Editorial CorrtfpoHilenre of T/k' Star.]
STEAMING OS THE ROAD?PENNED BV STEAM.
l*? 19.) Chicago, June 7, 1857.
We entered this singular creation of the en
terprise and speculating capacity of our coun
trymen ahortly before 11 o'clock last night.
The moon was shining brightly, so that I had a
fair opportunity to overlook from the car win
dow. as we slowly proceeded for a mile through
iu outskirt to its centre, its features which
make it the mor striking city of considerable
iize upon thecontinent. I allude to its majority
of one-story board shanties, dignified with the
appellation of bouses, and its vast lumber
yarda: for our way lay through them. This
city of Chicago is the centre of the immense
lumber trade of the great lakes and their tribu
tariea. From this point, it is sent by vessels
and railroad for the entire supply of almost the
whole country for from one to five hundred
miles in different directions?a country wherein
twenty square feet of plank are just now being
Ubed, perhaps, for every square foot required
for the purposes of any other territory on the
face of the giobe of similar extent. Tbe painted
shanties laying scattered around by thousand
reminded me instantly of the edifices built of
cards by children on the floor?hardly more
level than this prairie It will be recollected
that Chicago ha.- risen to its present position of
a city of 125.000 inhabitants, shipping off. be
rides the lumber mentioned, more grain an
nually than left even the Odessa last year, in
the short space of seven years At its centre it
i; fast gettiiig rid of the shanties once there,
wh:?b are being torn down or run off back up
?>n tbe prairie, on wheels, by dozens, daily. In
their plate are rising up princely stone and
brick edifices, and blocks equal in all respects
to the finest and most substantial in any other
American city, or. indeed, of any city of any
clime and age.
It* no le*6 singular universal plank 3idewalks.
too, are rapidly giving place to pavements of
split sandstone. laid down in tablets containing
from fifty u, seventy-five square feet of top sur
face The atyle of ornamental finish, as to mag
nificence. or to extent, grandeur and stability
in which it is thus improving at its immediate
heart, realizes to my mind even much more than
tbe fabulous accounts of the uprisings of San
* rancicco from its nuincrousconflagrations. The
building stone used here is nearly white, and
yield* with great facility to the chisel and
wedge It h to be hoped that Chicago will soon
crowd out of ber thoroughfares altogether, the
coobn?tjb!e materials of which the city was
entirely constructed, Up to perhaps three
y*ars ago. as the ignition of one on a blustering
night would necessarily lay perhaps a thousand
of them in a*hes in two or three hours. I was
scarcely less struck on entering the city last
night with ita majority of jeard houses'' built
for tho hour, than this morning (on sallying out
to sec what I could, worth viewing) with the
sudden change that has oome over the spirit of
the city's architectural dream ; leading its prop
erty holders now to build apparently for time,
approximating as nearly as possibly for human
ity, to eternity. The greatest railway passen
ger depot in tbe country, by long odd*, if not
in the world, is here?covering an immense
space. and aewmmodating perhaps a d<wen
trains at the same time, soon to radiate upon
more or less of the thirty or forty railroads
reaching all Northwestern creation, which cotae
the eity through four or five main arteries,
frocn which they branch at convenient points
It# design, for effect, is as striking as that of
the Smithsonian Institution building, while it
occupies much more space.
This being a rftta no/i in the way of business
I aba.1 fca\e no opportunity to obtain statistical
information concerning it * hieh I might " work
up so a? U> make an interesting chapter rela
tive to il- A fi eight depot, the property of the
same il.liucas Central KaiJruad) company is
ha.d by it; covering even more ground, though
constructed of the same white sand stone with
a. much mora aodest exterior. The Michigan
Cei-tral Railroad Company have just finished
perhaps as line a passenger depot here as any
other in the country, save that I describe above.
Whole blocks of five and six story houses, built
of the same beautiful material, are going up in
all directions around uie; as though thecity'a
commercial importance having grown up in the
course of yesterday, it has been resolved to com
plete it architecturally ere the son goes down
to-day Not less striking is the v&stnoss of
Chicago's hotels, half a dozen of which appear
to be as large and substantial as the Astor
House in New York city.
The number of her passenger offices, mam
moth grain-storeing houses, doggeries of all de
grees. and boarding houses, struck me most
forcibly, and is the result of the immense num
ber of strangers alwtys here?emigrant*, set
tlers seeking homes in every direction through
out the Northwest, people of means from the
>;ast engaged in gambling in Western lands,
sight seers, persons running on the lakes. Ac.
The doggeries seem to rule the city ; and if the
brutal impudence to an unprotected lady ac
companied by three little children, I saw prac
ticed by a gang of ruffianly bloated porters and
runners a few moments sinoe is a fair illustra
tion of Chicago-doggery manners, the worst
description of rowdy ruffians rule her dogge
ries so far her most remarkable institutions.
May she soon possess others in tteir stead, of
which she can fairly boast.
Property (real estate) is hold here at a fabu
lous value. A little one-story plank shanty, of
not more than four or five rooms, built off a
business street, rents for *650 per annum.
Money rents for three per centnm per month,
on such security as Chicago borrowers have re
maining the re to pledge ; for most of which, by
the by I would not give a pinoh of snuff. Her
refsl estate, which is said to be assessed at
$48,000,000. is mortgaged, I ?m told, for the
nice little amount of $200,000,000' Or, in other
words, Chicago is owned, body and breeches,
out of her own limits, by capitalists, who, if
they should attempt to realize their advances,
(upon Chicago city property) could not get back
2i cents in the dollar.
This season her merchants are pretty gene
rally under protest in New York and Philadel
phia, and they seek to " run their faces " in
Baltimore. If Baltimore is sufficiently pleased
with their "muggs" to stake their goods upon
them at this time, they will deserve the losses
that she will thus surely reap. The money that
should have gone to take up the notes of her men
in business has been invested in wild lands,
either by their customers or themselves. I know
not which are entitled to the credit of having
bankrupted Chicago; but that she cannot now
pay 2j cents in the dollar, is as certain as that
folks in these diggings who would hang a faro
dealer on sight, are playing in Western town lots
and lands west of creation, a morede^ieratc and
equally?in my judgment at least, when prac
ticed by men who owe the money thus being in
vested?disreputable game. He who buys Chi
cago property now. will find it selling under the
hammer all round him after the next United
Mates Court set hereabout*, at perhaps half
its present nominal value. I pity the man who
has bought it lately on credit, and still more
1 P"y lte man who has purchased Chicago
property of late, paying for it in legitimately
earned hard cash.
The population, as the reader may well im
agine. shifts here every two or three years. for
the most part; for business has never yet been
upon a healthy footing in Chicago. Men have
ma le fortunes here almost entirely by land op
eratidhs. Most of these fortunes remain to be
realized; for they sell city property on ten
years time here ' How many of them will be
realized U a question the answer of which is
past my knowledge. The competition for trade
here is great; reminding one of the competition
between steamboat lines on the North river at
times, when passengers are carried by one line
for nothing, and the other seeks to under bid its
rival by throwing in a fine supper also, with
out charge. A population of fifty thousand, at
most, can transact properly all the legitimate
(present) business of Chicago. The cost of feed
ing. clothing and liquoring the rest of its 125.000
souls must necessarily come, wrongfully io the
oarf, frjm the pockets of confiding creditors in
the east.
We shall see. in due time, what we shall see.

WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP.
Til* Gove r xojt sh i p or New Mexico.?In
politic*! circled 6t the Federal Metropolis, we
find the impreerion prevailing that the Hon.
Abraham Rencher (an M. C. many years since,)
of North Carolina, is most likely to be sent out
to suooeed Governor Merriwether in New Mexi
co, whose resignation and refusal to continue to
fill the position yet held by him we mentioned
a few days since.
Mr. Rencher is a gentleman of fine mind and
attainment*, high character, and much experi
ence in connection with public affairs. So, if
appointed, the selection will be a very happy
one for the public interest. In this connection
we are rem nded of the fact that President Bu. |
chanan is exhibiting, in his judgment of the
men who are pressing and being pressed upon
him, a discr mination and nerve for which we
did not give him credit before a knowledge of
his possession of these characteristics was forced
on our attention, by closely watching his career
in his present position. It requires the highest
order of intellectual ability and great firmness
of purpose, indeed, for a chicf magistrate, in
these times, to discriminate successfully so far
as the public interest is concerned in the selec
tion of his subordinates of various degrees. All
in Vi ashington posted in such matters, know
that he has a will of his own. manifested not
unfrequcntly to the entire defeat of schemes
upon the patronage of his office, which cannot
succeed except to the detriment of the public
service.
Amusing stories are told of the promptness
with which he sees through them and the em
phasis with which he explodes them. Really,
the country never before had a ehief magistrate
who labored more faithfully to comprehend all
the bearings of every question ho has been
called on to decide, or whose decisions of such
questions have embraced more striking proofs
of the value of great experience with public
affairs and unflinching nerve in the conscien
tious discharge of a high trust.
The Exaui.iation ok the Naval School at
Ahxapolis.?The following interesting letter
will be read with unfeigned pleasure bv all
thoughtful persons who rejoice over the sub
stantial progress of the Navy of the United
States:
. Axxatolis, June 16, 1857
Editor of the Star : The examinations at the
jNaval Academy have just been brought to a close.
I hey have been conducted in a manner highly
creditable to that distinguished institution, and
those who were present at the recitations and ex
ercises of the inidNhipmen cannot but have been
impressed with a full sense of the high mental
and physical qualifications necessary for a grad
uate. Navigation and nautical astronomy, fn all
their theoretical as well as practical branches,
seamanship, gunnery and ethics are the chief
studies of the tirst d iss, and its meml>ers passed
through th^ beautiful course w,th an ease that
proved as gratifying as it was surprising. In
deed, true mathematical genius. comprehensive
and original, was evinced by several of these
young gentlemen. In consequence, the board of
visiting officers have expressed their unfeigned
surprise and pleasure at the high standing of the
graduating midshipmen.
Their" detachments' - from the Naval Academy
were received on Saturday last. That day was
appointed for awaiding the diplomas. Tbisbrin/
reported al?ouf town, much of its grace and lieau"^
ty assembled at an early hour in the chapel. A
display of uniforms next announced the arrival of
the Board, headed by the imposing Ibnire of the
Superintendent, Captain Goldsborough, to none
more than whom is the Academy indebted for its
improvements and organisation. The corps of
professors, amongst them Chanvanet and Coffin
followed. The midshipmen then filed in by the
music of the band, the graduates taking their ap
pointed seats in front. ,\ number of officers of the
na/jr and other interested visitors crowded the
Hall.
I'rayer l?y the Rev. Theodore Bartow, U. S.
Navy, was followed by an address to the grad
uates on the part of Commander Thomas Jeffer
son Page. Capt. (ioldsboro igh, after a few brief
but appropriate remarks then informed the mid
shipmen that they would l?e pleased to advance
and receive their diplomas in the older in which
they should be named, i e., in the order of their
graduation * Having received their diplomas
some lively music terminated the ceremony.
And now that the excitement of the last two or
three weeks ha* subsided, this good place of An
napolis, with it* stately old residences, is restored
to its usual quiet and repose. The State House
with its lofty steeple, dating Vk to n?wn
Anne s time, and equally noble and spacious
church of St. Aj?ne?Mr. Nelson is its rector
would seem to l>eloug to giant days and a giant
metropolis. But Annapolis has been cheated of
its commercial inheritance by Lord Baltimore's
namesake a liule furthe. up the bay, and has at
present little or no boast but as a delightful resort
for its charming society and refreshing bav
breezes. The grounds of the Naval Academy-l
the promenade of the town?with its beautiful
pqnlars and grassy plots. Is probably unsurpassed,
and will be taken leave of with regret by your
obedient servant, ' 3

A Mistake.?The current newspaper para
graph representing that the Post Office Depart
ment has closed a contract for the transporta
tion in steamships of the mails of the United
States from New Orleans to Bordeaux. (France.)
via Havana, Fayal, Ac., with Wm. C. Barney,
is a mistake, we apprehend. It is the custom
of the Department to send letters. Ac., seaward
anywhere, in any description of vessels, and to
pay for their transportation two cents per let
ter, and half & cent per newspaper, as the law
of 1K25 provides. It is evident that Mr. Bar
ney has simply been informed that if the pro

established, it will be permitted to carry sea
ward letters and newspapers as explained above,
as all such vessels are permitted to transport
them on application at the Department.
Mexico.?While we make no pretensions to

keep our ears open to ascertain the impressions
concerning that Republic s present and future,
existing from time to time in the minds of those
in this city who are perhaps better able to judge
in the premises than any others in the country;
and have to say that, just now. the return of
Santa Anua and his triumph over Comonfort's
government are being anticipated by them. As
bad as his rule has always been, we find few
familiar with Mexican affairs not of opinion
that it was much better for that country, than
the present government under which it suffers.

The Philadelphia Bulletin, of yesterday,
says: " Gen. Walker, the renowned filibuster,
i readied this city last night at twelve o'clock,and
proceeded to the Girard House, where he designs
remaining until two o'clock this afternoon, when
he will proceed to New York. A number of
Philadelphia!!* called upon the distinguished in
dividual this morning. We saw the much-talk
ed-of General, and did not discover that he look
ed a bit like a hero. He is a smooth-faced little
man. with a cold grev eye. and seems devoid of
any feeling whatever." The Bulletin adds that
Walker and party ''will be permitted to leave
this city without any public demonstration."
GEORGETOWN AFFAIRS.
CorrttpoHdence of The Star.
Gioigitown, June 17, 1857.
Persons in want of a very superior farm would
do well to pay attention to the advertisement of
Mr. B. Bohrer, in another column. The one ad
vertised by this gentleman contains, as will be
seen. 100 acres, and is represented to us by disin.
terested parties as being equal in every respect to
the very best In the section of Montgomery coun
ty where it is located. Its distance from Wash
ington is so short?only twelve miles?with an
excellent turnpike road leading all the way
thereto. If the purchaser should see fit to do so,
he might, in a short time, pav for it bv the sale
of wood and timber, as about two-thirds of it is
covered with the most valuable kinds. If not
disposed of before, it will be sold to the highest
bidder on the 2Ud instant.
Our rive-, as well as canal wharves, this morn
ing. presents rather an inactive or dull appear
ance. The number of vessels and boats at either
is unusually small. This state of affairs, how
ever, we have good reasons for hoping will not
long continue. A few more days, if nothing shall
happen, and navigation (if we'can rely upon the
general rumor) upon our canal will be resumed,
all the way to Cumberland, and the black dia
monds again l?egin to make their appearance in
largely increased quantities. Thus rar the sus
pension of navigation upon the canal has seri
ously injured the Spring and Summer trade of
our merchants; but we have hope that they will
lie more than compensated by an unusually heavy
Fall trade?if the canal shall remain permanent
after being repaired.
Our enterprising friend of the Union Line. Mr.
Vanderwerken, will turn out on Monday next,
on* of the most superb omnibuses ever raa on our
streets. It is a iwentv-four-passenger coach,
called the Belle of the I'nion : and for lieauty of
desigu and excellence of workmanship is unsur
passed. It is designed mainly for afternoon and
evening pleasure parties and excursions, and it
has been constructed with a special eye to the
comfort and convenience of passengers.
The brick work of the fine new building erect
ed for Mr. John E. Carter, on l.ee's Hill, oy Mr.
A. Barbour and W. II. Semmes, was topped off
yesteiday. The carpenters are also making rapid
strides upon their portien of the work, ami we
suppose in a month or two more it will be ready
for occupancy.
The corner stone of the new building at the
Convent of the Visitation, is to be laid in a few
d i vs.
The health of our city continues excellent.
The quantity of wood coming Into our market
Is unusually light fbr the season, consequently
prices f.-oin"boats have considerably advanced. A
good article of oak readily commands from S4.2S
to S4.40. and pine fs3a$3.z5 per cord ; hickory i*
in demand, but none arriving.
The flour market this morning is very quiet
and rather dull at our last quotations, tu
Grala of eveiy kiad Is scarce, and but little If aav
change in prioes have occurred since our report
