From Wasiaingtoli.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 4th, 1847.
•
There ,is no news from; the South, the
Southern mail not. having ,come through ;
hut the news from the Nortltis almost equal
ly interesting. The result of the New' Jer
sey elections excites more surprise than
those of New'Viork. Every one here ex
pected the
,oppOsition in NewNork to be
successful, with The present brCach in the
Democratic 'party of that Statei—especially
in an election of a.seeondary character, like
the . present, and
,iwith such a letter as ex-
President Van Buren wrote to
f he editor in
Wilkesbarre to proceed' it. It Ims frightened
nobody, and will not change the course of
administration in a,single partiOular.
You will see that variou pnOers now re
peat what I believe I first told you, that the
President will not adopt a line policy, which,
from its defensive ' character, Would be as
costly and insecure as the actual occupation
and tranquilization of the territory now oc
cupied by our troops,and a virtual aban
donment of the .advantages already obtain
ed. Neither' are. the, President or his ad
ministration bent on the entire conquest of
Mexico, provided Mexico will; make peace
in time ; but the administration is ready,
when circumstances present themselves, to do
its duty even -ulna -the entire• subjugation
and annihilation of the enemy. The ad
ministration is not ready to say what it will
not do, should the'Meeans still hold out in
their hopeless resist an ce , /Caving the line
with which, we cent rowrselves satisfied
as a frontier, to he drawn according to the
duration - of the war, the expenses to which
it may put our government. The punish
ment of Mexico ii to be graduated by her
offences, and above sillily her stubbornness.
The determination ..to punish her will be
avowed, the degree of punishment will de
pend on her ,ow_nconduct.
The frieadp of Mr, calhoun talk again of
starting a paper io this city. They will, in
all probability, find ;it .a much harder task
than they imagine. A paper in Washing
ton without potroimge rexuires a long purse
and a degree of enterprise not often met in
conjunction in any set of Ofitieians. The
fact is, the party press, of Whatever denomi
nation it may be,idoes not command nearly

As anthracite is now used it rnakes a fire
that is unpleasankexpensive, aud• irregular

and disagreeable and unhealthy gases,' which
ate wetted ilaniflo the great inconvenience
and annoyance'of the inmates of every house

from twenty- to thiity per cent. as may be
seen by the experiment: Anthracite should
.be broken into pieces of the size of a nut, and
in kindling the fire in the Morning as little
Them:ail or other kitidlers used as will assist
in starting the ignition with a blower.—
When the whole ,is properly ignited, cover it
over with the cinders obtained by riddling
or sifting the extinguished contents of yes
terday's grate, including those of the size of
a pea br even smaller. When thii, too;has
become partially ignited, the whole should
be covered from an inch to an inch and a
half, or even two inches thick, with n paste
or mortar made by mixing the ashes sifted
from the cinders with water to the consist
ence of mortar for plastering. • The fire
should' be left in this situation undisturbed
untie ohnoit'bed-time, or until the room gets
cool. ' The crust should then be broken in
pieces' of the size of nn egg, levelled, well
wet with water, beat or,Vatted down in an

Thus The poking of the fir e
, is dispensed with
altogether, and the only moving of the ash
es is the 'removing them from thefire-place
or grate into the hods to be carried out of'
doors, to be sifted preparatory to making
the,fire. Fires built in this manner are of
even temperature, free from dust and disa

ADDRESS TO, THE POPE.—The following
address from -the citizens of America, ap
pears in the New York-German papers:
Address of the Citizens of America to _His
Holiness, Pope Pius IX :
Exulted man !We, in far off America,
have heard with joy your noble course. We
recognize in you the man who was needed
in the Papal' Chair. At one of the most
eventful periods in the' history of Europe,
you begin with determined resolution, the
„glorious battle for goodness, truth and the
right. You are one_ in whose, hands is the
fate of millions of men, who !pelt to you with
hope, whose lovjng hearts bent to the pulse-
tion of your owe.. You can save Europe
from oriental degradation. We believe you
to be penetrated with the conviction that
without national freedom man cannot fulfill
his destiny.
-With dismay and horror we have heard
of the vile conspiracy against your preciOus
life, instigated, if the public journals are cor
rect, by the minions of Austria, who love
not the light; Austria, who would destroy
you because you would not lead here hand to
suppress truth and right. But Divine Prov-_
idence brougbt,to nought the councils of the
wicked, and in the enthusiastic devotion of
the worthiest of your
,peoyle,and in the ven
eration of the civilized world, you have the
best reward for the honesty of your purpose
and your efforts. True, Austriii may threat
ed with brute force of arms. True, France
in her dealings With you may play an am
biguous and suspicious part, but the sons of
darkness shall avail' naught against you ;
only fear, no love chains their subjects to
them, while to you the whole civilized world
yields the free tribute of love and pure ven
eration. Go on as you have begun ; if need
be,mount the - charger, and put yourself at
the head ; and not only two tniHions of
Christians, who, you have said, will fulkiw
you but the lovers of freedom,.truth nod
right, throughout the world, hill hear and
obey.
Mankind will not fail to appreciate your
efforts ; slavish assassins shall be scattered
like spray before the wind, and legions of
the people's friends will follow your ling.
Exalted man ! With these few words,
which come simple and true from the'llearts
of the Republicans of America, we salute
you and heartily thank you fur the . great
things you have done, not for you own peo
ple alone, butforall mankind.

The c'rn market is, of• course, sensibly

Gen, Kearney in the territory. The chief
of these events was the accoMpliihtiteut or
the -conquest of Celifornia,,nlready aeldeved
by Commodore Stockton and .Cid.Fretitotit,
before the coming of Gen. Kearney' and the
troops under his command. ,

in his written answers to the orders seat
him, by alleging that Gen. Hearne", in the
beginning recognized his authority. This
special plea is, -on the other hand. islet by
the special plea that Col. Freniont did at
first, by ftirmally i mporting himself and hie .
command to Gen. Kearney, itOknoledge his •
right to command. .
The charges, in which these, respective
claims are thus displayed brthe orders and
-counter-orders of the, two, commanders.
'show various acts of insuliordinetion on the
part of Col. Fremont, consisting-either in m
fusels to obey the orders sent to him by Gen/
Kearney, or in persisting to exercise in cer
tain cases ..the authority of ;commander-in
chief and
. governor, or in efforts to procure
other persons in the militarr and naval ser
vice to kap him in resistance of Gen. , Kau
'
ney's authority.
The documents produced in the accuse
tiOn show him either directly
the reasons already stated, tossuhanit to or

governor, or suggeStiog to others caus
es why Gen. Rearney's contufissien was'not
valid. •
The reading of the charges 'being finish
ed, the itemised. was called Xtpon to plead' tcr
them, and answered-that he was "not guil
ty." He was also iiiformed that it would
be his privilege to except to any particular
charge. , 1 .
, Col. Fremont then asked leave to read to
the Court the following patier:—
Mr. President :. In . preferring the usual re
quest to , be. allowed counsel in this case, I
wish to 'hate that it is no pkrt of my inter',
tion or desire to make defdpee on any legal
or technical point, but only to have friendly
assistanee in bringing out the merits of the
case in lucid and proper order, and in ob
taining a full trial on-the merits, in the short
est time; and with the.ledtt. tronble -to the
Court. 4Witli this view, no objection can be
made to the relevancy or legality of any
qiiestion'Troposed by the-i prosecution, the
Court; or any member of the Court; nor to
any question which goeitw'ShoW-my motives
either by words or acts, in hggravatioa ofthe
offences' alledged agamer me ; nor to the
authenticity. of any evidence, written or
printed, which I knoW or Aielieve to be au,
theistic ; nor will anyrqueitton be proposed,
or motion made, on my\ part, knowingly-, of
a nature to give just ground of objection on
the part of the prosecutiok s or to, cause di
lay in the trial, or give trontde s to the Court.
But this waiver of proof . to thWauthenticity
of papers is made with the express condi
tion that all persons brought from . California .
by General liearney as wtinesses, and, listed
as such, with the chargei, itnd •sunimented,•
shall be sworn on the part of the proseett-
tion, so aS to save to me My right of cross
examination. .
" In this way I hope to facilitate the prog
ress of die trial, to get at once into the mer
its,
to spare this`Cmirt thd most unpleasant
part of an unpleasamdloyiand enable them
-the sooner to obey the-fdelimpt which call
them to a very 'dieerent duty.i , ' - • ,
