[Correspondence of The Press.] Washington, Bee. 18, 1858. Tha benefit oonforrod upon mankind by the «b -tabliehment of the United States Coast Survey, in the development of commerce and navigation, isasubjeot of profound contemplation. Viewed merely as a scientific work, it challenges the ad>~ miration of every beholder; but when its present results and ultimate aims are impartially invest!- gated—in discovering tho dangers of our coast, and affording safe and seoure navigation to the mariner of every nation—lts beneficent and philan thropic mission claims the support and oornmen datlon of every true and patriots heart. This work is a national one, and embraces within its sphere tho soienoe and intelligence of the oountry. The department of the Coaßt Survey is composed of civilians, officers of tho army and navy, com prising men of soienoe and intolleot, and is under the oontrol and considered part of tho Treasury, Department. The United States Coast Survey was commenceda)>out th©year 1832. It wasunder the superintendence of Mr. Hosier until 1844, when he w>s suooeeded by Prof. Bacho, who ,* being superintendent up to the present time, has had the work in oharge for a period of fourteen years. TUft progress of the work is reported to, the. Treasury .Department, and tho W Congress for th@iraj>proyoi persons employed on the survey, (a monthly sum- of their operations being forwarded to him,) ajis report to the deportment any tegleot or irre gular porformanoe of duty that may fall under his observation; to furnish the necessary formula and the assistants having calculations to make, uid give all instructions relative to the Bolentifie part of the work ; to prepare tho assign ment of dntios of the persons and parties employed, and Bubmit the same to the Secretary of tho Trea sury for his approbation; bosides supervising tho publication of the result of the work, and having tho general superintendence of the offioe hero, which is situated on New Jersey avenue, within A stone’s throw of the Capitol. Tho Coast Survey reports whloh have been published from 1844 up to tho present time are tobe found in almost every library of the ooun try, and, across the water, have been regarded as modol works'of tho kind. As I said before, the department was not established 'until 1832, and from that dato up to tho presont time the total oost of the survey has boon about $4,500,000. Large os this sum may appear, I would remark, in oontrost, that the trigonometrical survey of the British Isles was oommenoed in 1781, and had costi up to 1853, $12,000,000, and it is estimated that $8,000,000 more will be required for its comple tion. This expenditure is exclusive of $17,000, commencing in 1837, for parlßh maps. The whole number of persons employed on the trigonometri cal survey, in 1840, was throe thousand fivo hun dred. The hydrographio surveys of England have oost, in the last twenty yoars, $10,000,000; the average number of persons employed yearly in the survey being ono thousand five hundred. This is exclusive of the English A ratio and Ant arctic expeditions. The hydrographio survey of the British islands is still incomplete on account of want of co-operation with the land work. Tho survoy of Franoe have been in progress nearly ono hundred years, and now is but two-' thirds finlshod. The cost of both the Frenoh and English land work is about five times the oost of ours, and there have been employed on the new map of France, since its oominonoement, 2.500 porsons, besides tho laborers. The length of the coast of France Is about six hundred tniloß only, and its survoy requirod twenty-eight years for its com pletion. Tho cost of the hydrography of France slono, since 1834, has been $4,300,000. Austria has expended $500,000 annually, for the last seventeen years, in her and contemplates an increase of yoarly expendi ture. The United States have an extent of ooast greator than that of any two nations of Europe— a coast abounding in dangors, and upon which, notwithstanding the light-houses, oh arts, and all the aids which a liberal Government oan furnish the navigator, hundredsof wreoks are occasioned annually, to the loss of about $15,000,000. Professor Baehe, in his report, during the win ter of 1857, In reference to the progress of the en terprise, remarks that “ tho work is certainly more than half done on the Atlantio and Gulf coasts, and tho appropriation now made secures every year a muoh more considerable rate of progress than in tho averago of tho post years. * * * * If the plan, now in successful op# ration for soveral years, is carried out without in terruption, the essential completion of the Atlantio and Gulf work within the time alroady named (ton to twelve years) is almost certain.” And again: “ The field work is now so far done that it is easy to see that a few years must bring it te a dose on the Atlantio and Gulf coasts, if a steady progress at the prosent rate is seoured by the usual appropriation. << It is much more easy now, upon tho Atlantic coast, to state what remains to be done, than what has been done. Filling up a gap of 70 miles on the coast of Maine, of 70 miles on tho coast of North and South Carolina, of 75 miles on the ooast of Georgia, and of 340 miles on tho ooast of Florida, would givo a continuous triangulation, oither main or secondary, from Quoddy Head to Cape Florida.” Profossor Trowhridgo shows that considering all tho expenditures of the survoy from 1832 to 1844, and from 1844 to 1850—12 years in oaoh—the ex penditures for the last 12 years * * * amounted to about four timoß the expenditures of the preceding twelve jeats, and it is shown that the field-work during the last period was about 73 times greator than for the preceding period, the office work being mere than ten times greator. Taking tho fiold-work for the comparison, whioh is the least f&vor&blo, wo have the following re sult : From 1882 to 1811. oxpendlturo 1, work done 1.5; from 18i4 to 1856, expenditure 4, work dono 7.3. This comparison for an interval of twelve yoars, supposing the inorease of expenditure and results to be gradual, gives an annual increase of expenditure of tblrby-threo (33) per oent., and for the annual increase of work done sixty (60) per cent., showing a gain in eoonomy of twenty-seven (27) per cent. Thus, it will be seen that, while a gradual increase of expenditure has been neoessary, in order to extend the benefits of tho work to all parts of the ooast, at tho same time a vast gain in time and money has been effected. By a deduction of the Western coast expenditures, in oonsequenoe of the high prioeß on that coast, tho comparison be tween the g«t an 4 results will lie aa follows for the Atlantic ooast: from 1832 -to-1844, expendi ture!, wfirkl; from 1844 to-1856-7, expenditure 2 7, work 6.5; thus showing an increase in the expenditures of twenty-two per cent.,per annum, and of fifty-four per oent. in the results—a gain of thirty-two per oent. in eoonomy. In conneotion with this subject of the ooast survey, I might mention that among the plaoes already oonneoted in longitude, by telegraph, tho oxaot determination of whioh by this means is at tracting much attention, as determined hj the ooast survey (Amerioan) method, Is the following ; Calais, Me., and New Orleans, La., are twenty two and a quarter degrees of longitude, and fifteen and a quarter degrees of latitude apart, and in an air-lino one thousand six hundred and twenty-one miles. • This flubjeot, in connection with the home op erations of the ooast survey, might be extended to an inoonooivablo length, but in what I have given in the above statistics, a general idea may be formed of its operations. Tho average yearly ex penditure has been, during late years, only about $300,000, and the work is in aotive progress from the eastern boundary: of 'Maine to the northern boundary of our Pacific possessions/ Professor Baohe has, In the laborious dnties of bis position, folt it an honor to servo his oountry,' and in his extensive eoientific researches has set an example of industry and aotiylty to‘those who are’ d&pbiated Wlfelf hlfti; - There 1 are many-'in stances zeal and devotion to this oause whioh would well bear rooital, but whioh must be re served fer other pens and. times. In this glorious work all are bound together by mutual rospeot and confidence; the wheels of this vast maohinery engendering no friction, the work goes harmoni ously on. Should tho Government oomply with an open hand to the requests of this department, the time must seon arrive when the accomplish ment of this noble work shall find all honor in the spontaneous acclamation of every nation. Tho Charleston News says: “The ship’s com pany found in charge of the brig Bobo, when oap tured by Lieut. Maffit, having been remanded by tbe Oirouit Court at Columbia to await the sitting of the April (1859) torm, with five of the Dolphin’s orew, retained as witnesses, were brought to this oity .on Saturday, in charge of the United States officers, and were committed to the district jail. Fifteen of tbeEoho’s orew, and the five Dolphin’s men, arrived at half-past two in the afternoon. While on the passage hither, Arohlbald Scott, one of the orew of the slaver, escaped from oustody by leaping from a window of the rear oar, when a few miles this side of Summerville. Deputy Mar shal Teppo' returned in the afternoon train for Augusta, and found the sailor, not twenty-five feet removed from the spot where he leaped from the train, with a broken leg. It appears that Scott struok upon his right foot, and, in the whirl down the embankment caused by the speed of tho train, his log was broken just abort the ankle. He lay senseless for half an hour, and npon his reviving was unable to stir. He was returned to jail.” M. Felix Belly bos just issued in Paris an ootavo volumo on the sdbjeot of ploroing the Isthmus of Panama by a oanal through Nicaragua. A let tor dated Paris, Nov. 19, in the London Potty says this volume presents full details as to the working oat of this oanal ; and thus Btates the terms of the grant: “It appears that on the Ist of May, 1858, M. Belly obtained aoonoeasion from tbe President of the Republic of Nicaragua (Gen. Martinez) and tho Prosident of the Republio of Oostaßioa (Juan Rafael Mora) to cut a oanal through the Isthmus of Panama. Artiole IS is of general interest, and says—“ The contractors distinotly proclaim that the canal shall bo open on equal terms to the flags of all nations, and that a uniform tax as moderate as possible shall apply to every description of merchandise from all parts of the world. That a tax is fixed from this day at 10 francs per mari time ton (1000 kilogrammes), and at 60 franos for each person. The oompany has no power to aug ment these oharges; but reductions will be made provided they can bo accomplished in accordance with commercial interests.” Sooh is thomosl in teresting feature of the Belly ooncessien, for the resVof the world, at least..' A Panama Oanal Oom- has s AmeHca^.tO/ohriYVQut: ; his The Bfoatgdihere and/jEneueliAffair*- - • ■[From the Neir York Tribune.] . Washington? Bee; 19, account of tho affray between Messrs. English and Mont gomery, rivenby the Washington Star and tele graphed to the New York evening papers on Sa turday, is. pronounced by Montgomery ineorroot and one-sided. His statement, os given to 'me yostorday, shortly after tho occurrence, is as fol lows: “I have not spoken to English this session or taken any notice of him when we met, as wo have oooasionally. The-reoson is that he made a speech tothoorowd who serenaded him on the night of the passage of his bill, in which he said that he had associated with me and other anti-Lecompton Democrats only to find out our plans and dofeat us. From that time I have looked npon him as a troachorous spy and an unfit associate for gontle men. About noon to-day I was walking down Pennsylvania avenuo, and had just passed Wil lard’s and crossed Four toon th street, when I saw English coming toward mo, holding out his hand, saying, ‘ How do you do. Mr. Montgomery?’ ' “ I made no answer, out passed on without any sign of recognition. I had walked a few steps whon I received from behind a very violent blow on tho left side of my head, given with suoh force as for a moment to stagger and oonfase me. “Ihad not the least idea who or what had struok me, but turning round I saw English with a large cane, which he hold in both hands, and from the position in whioh he stood, and the direc tion of the blow, must have so hold whon he struok me. He exolaimed: “ * G—d d—n you, I’ll teaoh you to insult me in that way.’ 11 He stepped backward quiekly as he spoke. I rusfrod at him, and as 1 was about to dose with him, he drew a sword from a oane and presented it at me. As* I had no weapon of any kind, I stopped off the sidewalk and pioked up a pieoe of brick, which I threw at him, hitting him on the log. Ho kept rotreating, and before I could find another missile, had got to suoh a distanoe that it was useless to pursuejhim.” * Two persons, William Coach and Daniel Cox, witnossod the affair. I have seen a statement, made and signed by Couoh, whioh oonfirms Mont gomery’s statement in every particular. Couoh says: “ Mr. Eoglißh spoke, saying, * How are you, Mr. Montgomery?’ Montgomery noither spoke nor paid any attention to this salutation, but passed on down the avenue. Mr. English stepped after him a fow stops, and struck him from behind, with his oane, a very heavy blow on tho side of the head. Montgomery turned on him. English stepped baok and drew his sword oane, as though about to stab Montgomery with it. Montgomery stepped baok into the avenue, ando&ugbtupa piooo of brick. English was running when Mont gomery threw the briok and hit him on the heel, or lower part of the leg. Montgomery went book for another stone, and English ran rapidly aw&y up Fourteenth street. When Mont gomery oamo back, English had run a half squaro, and was beyond his reach. We were the only persons olose by. We saw and heard all that passed. Montgomery did not speak until after he was struok.” Daniel Cox fully corroborates Couch’s state ment, but says: “I should add that Mr. Montgomery was un armed, and that Mr. English held a oane in both hands and struck with great foroe.” Thomas Reed Keever, a haokman and grocer, who was standing on tho opposite oorner and saw tho latter part of tho affray, corroborates these witnesses. Montgomery went immediately to a magistrate, and made a charge of assault against English, who has been held to bail. Montgomery’s face was badly bruised by the blow, whioh oaused blood to flow profusely. Ho has kept his room since, and is attended by a physician. Had tho oane struok an inoh or two higorso as to hit bis temple instoad of bis cheek, ho would most probably have been killed. Tho faot that Montgomery had already twice passed English on Saturday without spooking, shows that the attaok was premeditated. Supporting the Administration* [From Bennett's Herald of yeatordav.j In Congress and out of It, in the Cabinet and in tho camp, the game in behalf of this aspirant, that and the othor, appears to be oonduoted upen the theory that the Administration stands in the way, and that its subordination and submission are the first things to be aohioved. Thus we find Mr. Secretary Cebb boldly taking ground on tho tariff in direct opposition to the well considered praotioal revenue polioy of the President; and thus we discover theunbrokon column of the Southern Domooraoy of Congress ar rayed against that inoidentnl protection whioh Mr. Buohanan, in his speoifio duties, desires to give the great manufacturing interests of the North and the South. Thus wo find tho Biohmond Enquirer repudiatingtho recommendations of tho President ooncorning ivansas, Cuba, Central Ame rica, Mexico, the Paoifio Railroad, and General Bankrupt law; and thus, in all probability, the lino of divergence and division betweon' the Exe cutive and the various cliques of the party will widen and deepen until tho Administration is re lieved of all responsibility and solioitude concern ing tho Charleston Convention Falling of the Vanßuren Bastile* TO THE EDITOR,OF THE IIERALD. New York, Deoember 18, 1858. It is not true, as stated, that I or any person au thorized to represent the anti-Tammany Demoora oy, have recently been to Washington for an ad justment of difficulties in tho party here; nor do I believe that the President could have under taken suoh a task. It is quite certain, that so far aa myself and friends are eoncerned, we have not sought for, nor been parties to, any negotiations or arrangements for such anobjeot. Tho Domooraoy of New York oan never again trust or respect tho monwho nowgovorn the organization ot .Tammany Hall Whatever promises of reform they may mahe to tho President at Washington wo know from experience will ho broken in Now York, without sympathy with or hold upon tho rank and file of the party.

A messenger was forthwith despatched for' a doctor- An examination was immediately .held, and, Sure enough, the' teeth were found sticking fast in the throat. The oase’ was a orittoal one, and the doctor net,wishing to take so muoh re sponsibility upon himself alonoj sent for another M. D., post haste, who did not arrive, however, until about‘an hour had elapsed. The doctors having satisfied themselves that the teeth were in the throat, introduced forceps and endeavored'to remove them; but out the teeth 'would not come, though tho forceps, in the search for. thorn, were parsed even into the stomaoh. At length they concluded that the' teoth must have slipped cno side and thus escaped the forceps'; they proposed' that an incision, should be maae in the throat in' order to remove them. The unfortunate man thinking he should not survive this business, de- * olared that he must make his will and bid adieu to his family.

Republican tells' the following as happening jin the vioinity of Mount Pleasant, in that State, not longMnoe: “Not far from Mount Pleasant, babkin*.the.country like, there is a tavern, called the Franklin House. -Mr. Franklin, the proprietor, has two deaf'and dumb daughters, intelligent and interesting. ' By signs they often carry on •'animated conversations, eape oially with eaoh other, and members of the family. w 0 foot travellers stopped for the night at this house, and, after sapper with the family, were shown to a room, in which was a'good fire and bed for their accommodation. The kind host, the room in the morning, found that the bed hod not been oocupied, and that his guests had flown. He, however, found on the table money for their supper, and a note, stating that in oonse quenoe of signs made at the supper table, by the young ladles, they did not think it rafe to go to bed, and therefore paid the bill and took their de par ture.*’? Strange Conduct.-—A young man named James Wright was arrested by Lieut. Bernard, in Cincinnati, Ohio, on the charge of disorderly oon auefc. It seems that ho is in the habit of passing himself off as a woman dressed in 'men’s clothes. He has a profusion of long, blaok hair, which hd* arranges so as to look like ladles’ hair turned un der.. He.then paints his obeeks and lips, arranges his collar and bosom in a suspicious manner, and starts out. ’ He has been following this practice for several years, and has obtained-a gait which would be readily taken for that of a lady. Thua equipped, he will enter a drinking saloon, sot in a manner e&loulatod to attract attention, and the Buspioion **• excited that he is & woman in male attire. For several evenings past ho has attracted muoh attention in tho vioinity of the National Theatre. He even deceived some of the police men, who arrested him a night or two ago fora female, and afterwards discharged him. A Fire Spittkr.—. A. simple old man named James Nipple,-residing near Mifflin town, Pa., was awakened on the night of the Bth instant, by a noise in his bedroom, and was no little surprised and alarmed to see a hide ous-looking ruffian etand ing by his bedside and brandishing a huge olub over, his head. He was so frightened that he lay speeohless, until tho ruffian said, “if you don’t givo me up your money, every cent of it, I’ll spit fire all over your house.” The imminent danger with whioh his promises were threatened restored out, “ Oh, don’t burn my* house "clown give you all my money!” Mr. N. then got up and gave him all his money, amounting, it is said, to between $2OO and $3OO, all in gold and silver. In consideration of his kindness, the ruffian then vamosed, without “spitting fire all over the house.” A Man Suddenly Struck Dumb.—We saw in the city on Saturday morning last, a Mr. Muohmore, a young farmer,- of Butler oounty, who is the viotim of a sudden and remarkable lpss of speech.

Louis, Mo., entered a daguerrean establish ment a few days ago, and prepared to be done in the highest style of art. Pending the preliminary arrangements he suggested that he would look better if he had a sold ehain on, whereupon the operator kindly.took out his watoh and accom panying pendant, whioh he handed over with a very patronizing air. The likeness was taken, the plate removed from the instrument and taken to the darkoned oh&mher, where certain mysterious enchantments are supposed to be pronounoed. At this oritical moment the g&y young gentleman took his hat and departed, foigetting'to leave hind him the waton and ohain. The d&guerreo typist has abandoned himself to despair. Fatal Railroad Aooident.—A man named Solomon Bost, years of age, who has been oonduotor of 'fine of the freight trains on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad for several years post, was killed at Mount Airey on Friday morning last, no was on the platform of the rear ear of the train at tho time, and by some means slipped and fell upon the track, and, hofore he could recover him self, was run over by the locomotive employed to assist the trains up the grade of Mount Airey.. The engine passed over his body, horribly mutila ting his person, and causing instant death', He leaves a wife and ten children, and resided in Martinsburg, Virginia. The Hamilton Spectator says that on Mon day, of last week, a man met with a sudden death, in Peterborough. New York. He was. about starting to drive a number of gentlemen from the railway station to Mud Lake, when, requiring to do something to the harness, he took a dirk out of hie pocket, on opening whioh, with a sudden jerk, it flew from his hand, the point of the blade penetrating his leg and severing an artery. On withdrawing tho knife, a purple stream shot up into the air, and the unfortunate man, exol&im ing “I’m done for now!” fell baok, and, in twenty minutes, without having spoken another wortf, was a corpse. A Boy Ties Himself to the Tail of a Cow.—A most distressing death ocourred in Rap- - pahannook county, Virginia, lately. A little son of Mr. John T. Corder, near Flint Hill, left the house with a negro to drive some cows to a point not far distant.
