Gazette. Sayings and Doings at Washington. WA4twroTote, Dec. IS, 1845. J. R. Chandler, Esq.—the tertespondence be tween the American Secretaries of State and the British 11 , 1tirister upon'the Oregon question having been communicated: to Congress and laid before the People, it will be seen by those who hale time and patience to read it, that the subject in dispute between the two governments is one upon which "much may be :raid on both sides," and that, in truth, neither country has oa clear and unquestion able title to the whole cf Oregon," though lieve that of the United States to lie the best of the two. The claim of both, to some portion of the territory, is founded rather upon. the weakness of that of its opponent than the strength of its own. Great Britain says to the United States, "our title is as good as yours end a little better;" and in reply the U. States says to Great Britain, "our title is aa good as yours and a good deal better." And so each, getting a little out of temper, and determin• ed to stand npon the ninth part of a hair, 'rcfuses to 1 yield an inch. One nays "I'll have the whole;" the other replies, "if you do you must get it," and so they stand looking angry at each other, . lily a couple of foolish neighbors qUarrelling about a . slough hole, not worth a farthing to either except to raise frogs in. Mind, however, when I say '.'not worth a farthing to either," I mean that part of the territory which is really in dispute, and not that which lies South of the 49th parallel of latitude. Now as all that ie really in dispute lies north of this line, and is a cold, rocky, heaven-forsaken country, why not, as a western man proposed last evening, let those who want to inhabit it, go there and fight for it, with the previous understanding', however, that those who win it shall be compelled to occupy it—they and their children, and their children's children forever. And also an under standing with Russia, that she shall stand by and see a fairfight; and whets the two parties get a little too hot, she shall send a few snow balls at them to I cool them, Which'she can dd almost any month in the year, there being no scarcity of this delicate ar ticle In that` region. Seriously, from vvlrt I learn I do not believe there is any nbstaclan the way of settling this Oregon qneetied; But the Went of good temper, and fear_ that this once disposed of. -there willas tih l ' and found eptreals to iirejtliffeeri The administration would in that case, have noth ing to manifest their patriotic fervor against, ex cept the Tariff. Put in making 'wei uPon that alone, there would be far less political capita? to be gained, than if they had one like ilie Texas ques tion as it stood last year, or the Oregon question,. as it stands now, to unite with it. How stands the question? Roth countries set up a claim to the country, Great Britain from tl e Columbia river to the Russian line, end the United Slates from the Russian boundary south to the 4::d degree of north bithutle. They endeavor to divide the territory, but being unable to agree upon a line of division, agree to a mutual occupancy. Meantime negotia tions are entered into from time to time to settle a I line of division. Great Britain offers to give up all south of the Columbia river, with a mutual right to navigate that river, and the United States off e, to give up all north of the 49th parallel of latitude, al ' lowing Great Britain a right to the navigation of the Columbia and free ports below the 49th. Both ihese offers are rejected and the Convention for mutual occupation is renewed, to cease only by the panics giving each other one year's notice. The • . Coirntry becenies more important by emigrants from both countries going into it, and the negotia tion is again renewed, Great Britain having by in vitation, sent a special illinister here to ehdeavor to come to an amicable settlement of the question of title. The negotiation opens, and the British inhaler is told that our title is "clear and unques tionable." Ile°, what room is there for negotia tion? tut ale Government of Great Britain con siders this declaration as arrogant, and disrespect ful. . They eifirstis this sentiment, and their determi nation to maintain their rights at whatever litlard, or cost, and are at once loudly cheered by the pim ple. On this side the water, too, the people, or a large portion of them, respond to the Executive, "our title Co the whole of Oregon is clear and un qUestionable," Now, it can easily be seen that this manifestation of feeling on the part of the peo ple, in both countries, stands much in the wax rI an amicable adjustrtient of the question. The Bridal Minisier can no more disregard the public sentiment of bid nation, than our government can disregard that of their own. Ho dare not, there fore. accept a proposition less advantageOuti to his notion than one wliich was offered by the United States tweritY years ago, because, by doing so. Ire Would virtually admit either that the British claim is not as good now as it was then, or that his gov ernment wee afraid of a war. Had he accepted the proposition, therefore, made by Mr. Buchanan— namely, of the 49th parallel of latitude. without the right to navigate the Columbia, which..av of fered in 1826—the probability is that he would have been severely censured by his own people, if not by his government. Had the navigation of the Colombia been coupled with the 49th parallel... tt was in 1826, 1 believe the offer would have been accepted, and the whole question put to, rest: not because there is any intrinsic value in the right to navigate that river, for it is not navigable for a Ong 4 1iottiaco DelOW 1119 40th, and item car. bar hut simply because the offer was not as favorable an one, nominally, as was once made and rejected. Our government cannot now make another pro position; but if the British government were con vinced that if they made the one which we offered them in 1826, it would be accepted, I have very little doubt but such an one would be made by them: If I am. right in this conjecture, then the whole subject in controversyunless we choose now to insist upon "the whole or none,"—is, the navigation of a river not navigable over a hundred and tifty or two hundred miles from its mouth. Is this worth-going to war about? In speaking of this negotiation, it is duo to Mr. Buchanan to any, that he has evinced great utility in presenting the American claim to the country, and in answering the arguments brought forward in support of the British claim. It is enough to say, that our claim suffered no detriment by the negotiation passing from Mr. Calhoun's hands into his. A Curious Incident 'An old gentleman in this city relates one of the most thrilling romances of real life we ever heard of. In this romance he was principal actor. Many years ago, in Vermont, an insane man suddenly disappeared. No trace of his whereabouts could be discovered, 'and many supposed that he was dead. Several y ears after his disappearance, a ' person who had known him. dreamed that he had i.een murdered by a certain family residing near at hand, and that he was buried in a certain spot. This dream oCcurred several tierce; and so vivid that the dreamer related it, and induced other per sons'to aid hint in digging al the'spet indicated in Incl dream. They dug, and found bonce, They also found a buttonand a knife, which was identified as as the propertyof the disking man. The family con sisting of amother & twc, young men, sons, were ar rested & init.-is...ed. The sons, to save the mother, confessed the reorder, On trial, however, they plead not guilty; but were, nevertheless, found guilty, and condeMned to be hanged.' The sen tence was, however, commuted to imprisonment for life in the state prison, to which they were sent. Soon after the trial, a paragraph appeated in the Post of this city, which led the old gentleman re ferred to, (who was acquainted with all the parties in the aflldr.) to believe that the man supposed to boinurdered was ant , . , ma n' ar , a tarot, under the euppositinn that it was his own. The Old gerifeman addressed him, saying, 'Don't you knOW mel' ' 'No—never saw you before.' The old man dropped an English shilling, which the insane instantly clutched. 'Now,' said the old' gentierfian; 'tell whim I am and who you ere, red I'll give you that shilling.' insane man did as required, and proved to be the missing individual. He vvas taken back to Vermont; 'and the td•o moil' were rcleasel. of course. The insane Man had, however, to be e;hibited pth ticly. and to thousands of people, before they would believe he was InliSelf. This story is truth, and can be easily proved by a reference to the legitimate records of time. It is a most curious romance in real life, end goes ahead of all the fictions ever invented.—U. S. Republican. The Elizabethtown (N. J.) Journal says,— .The names of the accused and condemned persons were Daniel and Jesse Tiourne, and that of the sup posed murdered person Russel Colvin. One of the Bourne's wag to have been hung, and the other was already in the state Prison. Colvin by an ad vertisement was discovered in Monmouth county, in this state, residing in the family of a Mr. Cad ! wick. He was immediately taken to Vermont, and the prisoners of coarse released. Religion of the Dog. The following original anecdote of Burns, is in a work entitled "The Philosophy of the Seasons," by Rev. Henry Duncan well remember with what delight I listened to an interesting conversation which, while yet a schoolboy, I enjoyed an opportunity of, hearing in my father's manse, between the poet Barbs and another poet my near relation, the amiable Black lock. The subject was the fidelity of the dog.— Burns took up the qtlestion vs id: all the ardor and kindly feeling with which the conversation of that extraordinary Man was so remarkably imbued.— It was a subject well suited to call forth his_ powers; and when handled by such net less suited to interest the youthful fancy. The anecdotes by which it Was illustrated having long escaped toy memory; but there was one sentiment expressed by Burns with his characteristic enthusiasm which, as it threw a new light into, my mind, I shall never iiirget. "Man," said he, "is the god of the dog.— He knows no other; he con understand no other; and See how he worships him!--With what rever mice he crouches at his feet; with what love lie fawns upon hint, with what cheerful alacrity he I obeys him. His whole soul is Wrapped Op in his God; and the powers and faculties of his nature are devoted to his service; and these pOWers sod faculties are exaulted by the intercourse. It ought just to be so with the Christian; but the dogs put die Christians to shame.' GENTLEMEN PLEAS!: TO vox ye !—Some wilier remark. that "Man owes women a vast moral debt, which has been accumulating both in principal «nd interest since the foundation of the world, and un less he soon begins to liquidate it in some shape, he will become a bankrupt in tkeeyes of Ilcactm." Death of Comnirdore Elliott. Commodure Jesse Duncan Elliott, of the United States Navy, died in this city on NVednesd4 night. Commodore Elliott was born in Maryland, in the year 1765. He was therefore about 60 years of age. His father, c Pennsylvanian, and a Com missary in the service of the United States was killed by the Indians while conducting supplies to General Wayne, on the Muskingum, la 1794. In 1805, while Jesse D. Elliott was a student at Car lisle, preparing to enter upon the study of the law, , he was appointed a midshipman in the navy by President Jefferson, and he soon after sailed under Captain Perron for the Mediterranean. He won the friendship of all the officers under whom he served as a midshipmen, and in 1810 was sent with despatches to our minister in London. When the war of 1812 was declared, he was ordered to super intend the naval preparations on Lake Erie, and in September of that year he gained great applause by gallantly cutting out the British brigs Detroit and Caledonia, from under Fort Erie. For this impor : tont service he received the special thanks of the ('resident, and by an unanimous vote of the two houses of Cimgress :was presented with n sword. He was at this time but twenty-sev.il years of age. In 1813 he was appointed over more than thirty lieutenants a master commandant; in April of the same year. he greatly distinguished himself in the attack upon* York in Upper Canadri ; acid' In the i following September was in the battle of Lake Erie. ; His conduct here has been a subject of much eon troveray, but we believe the impression is now gen ! viol among men who have . exemined it, that Com modore Perry did not, as his friendshave endeavor ; ed to prove, violate either his oath or his honor, when Le said that “Elliott evinced hie characteris tic bravery and judgment" in that action, nor when he acknowledged that be .‘ owed to him the sic tory." In the spring of 1815, Elliott served under De- I critur ageinst Algiers; in 1817 he was appointed one of the commissioners to survey the coast of the j United States, for the purpose of selecting inter; for dtieliYarda and fortiEcations; and in 1918 ho wan made a captain. • • • • After a few years repose, Captain Elliott was appointed to the command of the Cyane; and or dered to the eeed at ltra.:l ....I.ar• he woo slier.' which he declined. In 1829 he woe made corn , mender of the West India squadron, and tieing temporarily in the Hampton Roads in 1831, he pursued such • course in regard to the Southamp ton negro insurrection, as secured for him the thanks of the governments of Virginia and of the United States. The command of the land and naval forces nt Charleston, at the time of the threatened revolt of I South Carolina, was entrusted to General Scott sad Commodore Elliott, and when the excitement there hod stihsided, Elliott wita appointed command ant cf the navy yard at Charlestown, Massachu setts. Proba b ly no one supposes now that his course heie in regoid to the figure head of the Constitution was de: truing of much if it was of the slightest censure. In 1835 he sailed in the Onnstitittinn fur France, and returned with Mr. Livingston, then our Mini s ter to that cot:ifty.— He subscqueriftY•cornitioniled the squadron in the Mediterranean, after which he resided several years on his farm in Chester, near this city. At the time of his death he was commandant of the Navy Yard in Philadelphia, but ill health had prevented his performance of the attive duties of the office, a large share of the time since his appointment. 'We knew Commodore Elliott many yours, and we think we knew him well. We have no wish to revive any of the controversies connected with his life, but this is not an improper time to speak of the good in his character. He is dead now.— Let ungenerous prejudices go with his body to the ... . _ grave. His friends have little need to ask for him more than justice, and this will not be willingly withheld. He was rude of speech ; a plain blunt man, who loved his country and his friends, and hated her enemies end their enemies. He knew little and i cared less about drawing room refinements. Ile i I had no regard for .y formalities but those of his profession and rank. Ile never learned the word caution ; and to serve a friend or fulfil his duty he would brave the !best imminent dangers. No one could ecci him in generosity. lie would forget lany thing but en act of kindnese. he never could regard nn obligation as cancelled. Ale was very sensitive, and was elated or depressed by every wired of !Praise or censure. Let this weakness and °the , fault; lie forgotten. He was a good sailor. a good disciplinarian, a man of undaunted courage and of inflexible honesty : and these ere not every day virtues. The proper ehowa of respect for the deceased Commodore, were made yesterday et the United States Naval Asylum and at the Navy Yard and on ships of war and other vessels in port. Ills funeral will lake place to•mon ow, from his , late residence. in Fourth street between Chesnut , a nd Walnut streets.

A Goon Jour..-The Washington correspondent of the Ohio Statesman says: One of the hest things to laugh..about, in the present dull times, is the following: De!axon Smith, Esq., formerly a democratic and then a Tyler editor in Ohio, as you doubtless recollect, was appointed, about a year ago, by Mr. Tyler, as a sort of corn merciol agent, to visit some of the South American lepublies,-the Ocean, &c., at $8 per day. and voyage and travelling expenses said... qielu sion,"[ls he is fa:ntlinry called, seems to hove known a thing or two! He departed on his mission— and still keeps on it, but the government doh t know and can't find out at what noint ! Mr. Buchanan wishes to recall him, and for the life of him, he says, he cannot ascertain in what quarter of the globe the agent is pursuing his •sesrcltee "Delis , aim" avoids sending home reports; end it is sup posed that near the elo'e of the present term of the administration he-.will come home, with n very pretty bill of per diem allowance and expenses for Uncle Sam to foot.

Here is one of the inimitable dog stories of the Nashua Telegraph: A SMART Don.—'There is enough of the dog mixed up in the following story to entitle it to the name of a 'dog story.' A man down East had been exceedingly annoyed by wolves, which de stroyed his sheep. In the emir., of time a dog•fun cier offered to sell him a dog. A very notable dug he was too. The catalogue of his ments was a very long one; there was not a dog virtue in the whole catalogue fur which he was not distinguished; but if there was any one thing in which he 'particu larly excelled; it was his prowess as a wolf-hunter. This was touching our friend on the right spot; the bargain was closed, and he only waited an opportu nity to test his merits. At length there came a light snow, just the kind of a snow for wulf.hunt ing, and he took his dog and gun, and sallied out. He soon crossed the track of a vermin', the dug took the scent, and hounded off in pursuit,, On followed our friend, up hilland down dale; 'through • brush and through briar,' for two mortal hours, when be came across a Yankee of the live species chopping wood, and the following satisfactory die ', ) NI) 'Well, I reckonYSAßd ito I 'how long agO ' 'Well, I guess about half an hour.'
