EY MIDNIGHT MAIL. • Letter from " Occasional." fOorrespondenee or The Press.] Wdenararox, August 23 The most lovelyeeason for travellingie upon us ; and. Washington Is' never more agreeable than it is in September. It is one of the healthiest and wealthiest of all our great cities; and one of the moat agreeable. , There is still vast'ground for im_ proiement here; 'the area of the pity is extensive ; the plan was comprehensive at the first ; and much remains to be done; but still it Is a Most inter esting spot to visit. There are many of our people who prefer spending the hot months at home, and to travel in September and October. To such I would, recommend a trip to Washington. The hotele are very good;' the sights - novel and nu merous. Living as Ido here, in my,quiet room, even the summer has passed by . pleadantly. •I have, always bad enough to see and to comment' upon. I haie never lacked company or gossip. I could every day fill the blight pages of The Press with "items," if it had been neces sary. Indeed, I know no better place, in the long run, than Washington. It is true I have had some difficulty to preserve my snivrkaito, and once or twice have enjoyed the delicious feeling spoken of in Walter Scott's Introductory to Wavorley, of hearing myself praised, whilst your humble repre sentative smoked his eigar,•and rather accepted than rejected the tribute. But then, again, I have been abused, too, to my face, by some of my beet friends; who would have bit off their 'tongues be fore they allowed them to wag against Me. For all this, I enjoy Washington. One of my chief enjoyments at this time is reading the National Intelligeneer, which has brushed up vastly within a few months past Its editorials ere now only surpassed by those of The Press. The Intelligeneer wields a deserved in lame in general polities. The editor of the Louisville Democrat, in a late number of his' paper, speaks of his meeting Mr. Stiphens, of Georgia, as follows "The Hon. Alex. H. Stephens, of Georgia, did not hesitate to declare, when in this city, the other day, that he was in favor of the re-election to the Senate of..ludge Douglas, and that he re garded the war by the President upon the anti- Lecompton men of Illinois as wickedly foolish. Mr. Stephens Icing a Southern "man, is at 'labe-ty to express his feelings freely." Speaking of this, why do you not reprint your article of about this time a year ago—that which gave Mr. President Buchanan so much joy—at. tacking Col. Keitt (of S. C.) for his personal ar• sanit upon the powers that. Were? I never shall forgot that article. Xeitt,•yon recollect, was at the White Sulphur Springs, Va., at the time you wrote, and your reply reached there before he left. Then you were doing great servies to your old friend, the President. 'Hut strange to say, no body here attacked Keitt for what be said against Mr. Baehanan. Mark the difference ! Stephen A. Douglas has barely differed from Mr. Buchanan on a political question, and has been respect ul in all this- difference; and for this he is sought to be driven not only dut of the pale of the Demon ratio party, but out of the pale of decent society ; and you, for • daring to be true to Mr. Du charien's own' principles, are hounded and hunted by • every knave who is ready to sell his soul to Lecompton, and who eon. selves he is paying toll at the gate that opens to 'the official heaven by abuse of you. But Mr. Keitt, who spoke of Mr. Buchanan, in August last, as a it hysterical President"—who denounced his Administration as a " paralytic Administra. tion," and . who .laughed at his Cabinet as a "shivering Cabinet," • and as a "Cabinet of Mates"—Mr. Haiti is just now not only in power, but he is the fashion. He was so, indeed, a few weeks after all these fierce adjectives. He is ono of the most acceptable of all the train at the White House, one of the most earnest defenders of the Administration. And why? Lot him answer in his own words to the people of Williamstown, S. C.. in a letter lately written : "As for himself, so long as he was to the Union, he was for discharging every obligation that devolved upon the State or the citizens of the State. Twelve months ago he advised ad' versely ; but now he would say, sustain Mr. Bu chanan's Administration. Ile went to Washing ton at the beginning of last session resolved to oppose the Administration but when he got there he found Mr. Buchanan upon the platform of the Synth. It was then be determined to sustain the President cordially and ingiudgingly." Twelve months aro The Press, and "Occasion al," and Howell Cobb, and J. S. Black, and all your "office=holders, stood where The Press and " Occasional " stand to-day.' And yet Col. Keitt, who was then abusing all of us, is on the party to day, and only those who refused to come over to him are out of it. Bat puere—le there not some hope for you, after Col. Keitt is forgiven, - flattered, and fawned 'upon? He is, it is true, a Southerner, which makes a deal of difference against you. There can be no doubt that John Van Baron, who Is now' abroad, is quietly but earnestly pressed for Minister to 'England. He leaves the factions of the Empire State behind, but his friends are at work for him. He has great claims upon Mr. Bssehaima's Adealnistration, having al. ways been his too. Since Mr. Buohanan's return from Bedford he does not hesitate to speak of the fact that, in looking around him, he is sorry to find so many mercenaries and camp-followers in support of his policy. He has doubtless, more than once said: "I find the men who have been 'my enemies all my life, each as Mr. Phillips, Whole personal assaults upon myself have been kept by for years, and who la now ready lo go for Mr. Dallas in 1860; as 'Carrigan and Witte, who had to bo im plored to support ins on 1856; as Strickland, of Chester, for whom I have always had great per sonal contempt; as Bigler, whom I refused to oak to my house, when, in 1851 be mane to Lancaster; as Bennett, of the New York Herald, who even Ira. dueed mo more infamously than john Hamilton, the surveyor of Phlladainhla as David R. Porter, who boasts that he defeated me itt Baltimore In 1848 and 1852; as Charles R. Buokttletv, whom t have appointed to tits exclusion of Brewer and I. B. Blaster ; . as ion. R. Chandler and Mr. Spencer, who did not vote foi me in 1856; as Owen Jones, in Montgomery; as Wilson Reilly, In Franklin; as George W. Bowman, in Bedford ;- as Charles She ter, In Allegheny; as F. W. Hughes, in Schuyl kill; as J. M. Porter, in Northampton, ko.—l find all such men my friends now." And, deubt tees, also, he asks himself, why are these old foes my Mends now? Answer—Because my old friends will not support Lecompton, and will not agree to 1 oppose' Judge Douglas; and because these, my old enemies, will ! Mr. Buchanan was fond of contrasting the value of friendships in old times, end of saying bow he would do if ever he mounted to the Presidency. Let him recall kis past judgments of men and things. It will not hurt either himself or history. Ocoassoxen. John Hickman and John H. Makin.

His stern and unwavering resistance to the most dangerous attack yet made upon the principles of free Government—the Ex eoutive effort to force" a slavery Constitution, in defiance of law, upon educated freemen; his manly and patriotic appeals in defence of the pledges of his party, and his untiring devotion to the public interests, should insure his re-election. Again has the voice of the people of Kansas been heard in denunciation of fraudulent mi nority Constitutions and Congressional injustioe. Neither bribes nor threats have been powerful enough to corrupt or intimidate them. They are still true to themselves and their guarantied rights. Let us hope they will ever remain so. Kansas, as far as her upplierition for admission into the Union is concerned, is now just where she was two years ago. Shall she be admitted upon fair terms, or must she submit to Inequality ? By the enactment of the. English Bill, the Senate of the United States, the Home of Representativoe, and the President, have declared that her present population (say forty thousand) is sufficient to make a slave State. Is it not sufficient, then, to constitute her a free State? If not, what becomes of that equality under the Constitution, of whiob we have beard so mush said by Southern states men? To argue, under the circumstances, that Rams shall remain in her territorial condition until she obeli have a population equal to the ratio of. representation, is to keep her out of the Union until she shall number at least ono hundred and twenty thousand inhabitants, and to admit that, in political power, one pro-slavery man is equal to three free-State men. To submit to this would be to acknowledge that we are, indeed, but mud.sills." This must not be done. Kansas must become 'a sovereign State without a census, or we suffer humiliation. The battle for the right in Kansas remains to be fought. In such a struggle as is likely to weer, Mr. -Baskin would be invaluable in the House. The voters of your district can only do Mr. Raskin, themselves, and the countrY justice by returning him to the next Congress by an increased majority. Such a result would be a signal and deserved re the demagogues bofirke par t y , ta C ando ng t r h e e ss o l l o a n v a e l s o o v f e r p s o e w o r e a r ,.

The journals here have published several con tradiotory reports about the appointment of new United States Minietor to this country, that I have not seen in any, paper from the States. Mr. Tar,* is the only person mrintioned as the successor of Mr Eames, which I _myself think probable, for though I was under the impression that Mr -Duokalew would be Sent to this country, I see, that hp has been appointed to Epuadorr, The editor of the .Dirtrio, Bailor M. de Brloeno, who has just returned from Washington, unsuccessful in his mission to settle the Aves Isiandreolama- Hon, makes; in hie paper, the following remark on the subject ' "We should bellefe that the appointment of Mr. Tarpin, if it was not already made at Wash ington, mos in pectore when the revolution broke out in Venezuela. It is well known that Mr. Eimes, during the days of the revolution, acted the part best suited to his policy, with the object ing of obtaining a satisfactory settlement of the Aces question for the United States"; consequently, without committing himself in the protocol imbrog lio, he favored the Vonezuellan Minister's views of the subject, who appears to have imagined that the United States would probably give • this Government a moral aid, which is oven yet waited for. Mr. Eames was in sympathy with the popular feeling during those days. It was expeeted that the elder sister might ;voted Venezuela, but her representative seems only to have kept in view his own business, the Ayes question. Of course, everything hail been ollieially communicated to Washington. It is natural to suppose that Presi dent Buchanan May have in the meantime post poned the ilppoihttent of Mr. Turnip. The set tlement of the Ayes question, we are assured, will teach Washington on the 29th inst. It is not likely that Mr. Eames will be recalled before the time considered necessary at Washington to son elude the whole matter definitively. It being of mportance to the United States, not only in ro• ipeot of money, but especially in regard to the sprinciple involved." Thus far the Diario. Its remarks, undoubtedly, are complimentary to Mr. Eames, to whom they attribute the diplomatio *skill to accomplish his objects without committing himself or his Government. The intention of the editor, however, in hie present circumstance, may have been unfriendly. The convention invites Gen. Pact to return to his country with all his titles, honors, and deco rations. The resolution will be presented to him by a committee to be appointed by the President. General Menages is still deprived of his liberty, notwitketanding the protocol and Castro's promise to givnhim his pass Ott. The Priglibh and Munch Charges insist upon hie delivery, but the Convention who are to decide the question, have not yet acted upon it, while the commander of the English man-of-war Tartar, Captain Dunlop, on the 19th inst., held a meeting of all the Britsh subjects at Laguayra, on beard his vessel, to communicate to them that the pre sent difficulties with this Government might pee sibly become of such a character as to make it no emery to communes hostilities, advising them at the same time to bo prepared, In cab° of any diffi culty.

In view of the prospect of the work during the coming fall and winter, your committee have thought proper to call upon every member of the Assmiatton to volun teer his services • to this end cards have- been printed and distributed 'in the pews at this meeting, upon which every member of the Arsoclation disposed to work is requested to put his name, residence, and the denomination aul church to which he belongs. This call the committee earnestly hope will bo promptly re scinded to. whether the brethren have volunteered or pot upon any former occasion. Your committee, in looking over the debt which has already been occupied by tbem, are led to wonder and exclaim, Glory to God for the inspiration vrblah , ptompted this Amoeba lion to exertions In behalf of the eternal interests of firemen ; for such bee been the result et this move ment, that even tbo most negligent observer mast have noted that the idea wail not only inspired by the holy spirit of God, bat that the benign in fluences of the same spirit have attended the work, even in the Most Unpromising localities—and where there has boon no conversion there is yet manifested a potent Intlilente, moulding the hearts and minds of thous who Attend the nieetinge, for greater and more powerful operations of the quickening and enlightening spirit of God. The writer of this report regrets that i the whole body of the leporte from the subordinate committees cannot be submitted to. the Association, for in the reports there is an abundant amount of touching and tolerating incidents calculated to brighten the hopes end quicken the faith of the follower,' of Chr:st, and point them to the realization of that beautiful prayer, "Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven." Any one. reading three various reports in fall, will find. gleam ing brightly and clearly, tho true Christian spirit and a true missiovary seal. Here, your committee wend take the opportunity of bearing their testimony to the elnaiensy end self-eacrificing spirit of the brethren eon ducting the meetings to the hails of firemen and else , where; and congratulate the world and the chunk' upon such an amount of moral force being exercised in the building up of the cause of Christ. for there never hes been a time when suck a number of " young men who are strong' , were standime up for Jesus, and doing good service as soldier,' of Christ. Your committee regret that but a tithe of these very interesting reports can now be laid be'ore tholAssocia Von, on account of circumstanees beyond their control, and principally for want of time properly to embody them in this report; but it is the hope of the com mittee to collate these interesting incidents in another form for distribution. Pufficlent will be presented, however. to demonstrate that the labor of this asso ciation has not been in vain in the Lord. and that the Holy Dpirlt has put Its seal unmistakably upon our work. After very interesting remarks by converted members of the Spring Garden Diligent and Hu mane Hose Companies, the meeting closed with devotional exercises.

The Ferry Staissease at Niagara -The Rope Burned: and Cat' Rushing Down. Everybody who ever trusted himself to the sharp grade of the ferrystairease; as that 'rope unrolled itself, on whose strands' strength hie life hung, has 'exercised himself in 'calculating: to what degree of destruction his physical nature would be crushed if those fibers should sepa rate. The experiment has recently had an un expected trial, and the result is worthy of record for the -comfort of the adventurous. - In the month of March the Ferry House took "fire and in the conflagration the rope burned, and a oar rushed the fall length of the steep traok, and wont into the river unbroken, almost without a fracture, instead of being shivered into frag ments. Tho reason seemed this: the weight of the chain which is attached, and which serves to steady the kraft, operated as a break, and the car was taken through its fearful journey by-this regulator in safety. It is a trial, whieh_in its pleasant result, will give assurance of security that will calm the mind, while the body is relieved from the interminable stair journey —Cor.
