WnHliIngton matter*. 
Tuk Secretary of the Treasury has invited pro¬ 
posals till September 10th, for the use by the 
Government of the line or lines of magnetic tele¬ 
graph, from the west line of the Missouri to San 
Frudetect), under the recent act of Congress. The 
lowest offer to be accepicd, and guarantee for the 
performance of the seivicc. 
It was recently stiled In a dispatch from New' 
Orleans, that a Revenue Cutter lud gone to over¬ 
haul the schooner J. R.Taylor, which sailed from 
that port lor Central America, with emigrants or 
fillibusters. For more than two months past it 
lias been known that several small parties of such 
adveututeis had repaired thither, hut their move¬ 
ment* are considered here loo insignificant for 
serious comment. 
A petition has been unanimously signed, pre¬ 
sented to the President, and by him transferred to 
the Secretary of War, praying fpr the immediate 
resumption of the work ou the aqueduct. It will 
be recollected that Congress appropriated half a 
million of dollars for this purpose, to he expended 
under the superintendence of Capt. Meigs. Tills 
proviso has somewhat embarrassed the Adminis¬ 
tration, hui there seems to be no doubt, spurt from 
the question the designation of that office involves, 
that the operations on the aqueduct w ill shortly 
be resumed, 
Tho Commission to settle the difficulties of the 
Paraguay treaty, will probably he in session two 
weeks longer. The testimony for the American 
claimants is not yet all in. It includes much val¬ 
uable information relative to the natural advan¬ 
tages and productions of that country. The Re¬ 
public of Paraguay is represented by J. M. Car¬ 
lisle, Esq., of this city, as its attorney. 
Lute advices from Peru state that our relations 
with that Republic were approaching a crisis. 
The U. 8. Sloop of war Wyoming had arrived at 
Callao with dispatches to our Minister, instruct¬ 
ing him to peremptorily demand the settlement 
of the claims growing out of the seizure of the 
ships Lizzie Thompson and Georgians, and m«vUc 
provisions for a joint commission for a settlement 
of all outstanding claims of our citizens. Home 
dt-biy has, however, occurred in consequence of 
the resignation of the Peruvian Minister ol Foreign 
Affairs, and it is not improbable that our Gov¬ 
ernment will be compelled to resort to force be¬ 
fore the demands will be complied with. In case 
of non-compliance with the demands ol our Gov¬ 
ernment, the Americnu Minister was instructed 
to close the legation. The Peruvian Minister at 
Washington has beeu notified, that unles9 his 
Government accepts the ultimatum ol the United 
BtateB, his passports will be furnished to him. 
Political Intelligence. 
A great Breckinridge meeting has been held 
at Washington, and President Buchanan made a 
political speech thereat He expressed his grati¬ 
fication at the nomination of Breckinridge and 
Lane. He gave a history of the establishment of 
the two-third rule in the National Convention, 
which was in order to prevent the anti-Demo¬ 
cratic States combining with a few Democratic 
States to nominate ft candidate disagreeable to 
those States who would have to elect him. Nei¬ 
ther Brcckenridge nor Douglas got a regular two- 
thirds nomination; hence any Democrat was at 
liberty to vote for either. The President then 
went at some length into au argument to show 
that each citizen of nny one Slate has the same 
right of protection to his property in the common 
Territories with any citizen of any other State. 
In conclusion, the President said that this was 
probably the lust political speech he should ever 
make. IIis position reudered it improperfor him 
to participate in the canvass although his heart 
was in it lie spoke of the long time he had been 
acquainted with the city of Washington, and 
wished all of its citizens uninterrupted health aud 
prosperity.

The long expected Pony Express, with St. Louis 
dates to June 9tlt, arrived at Carson Valley tbe 
evening of the 22d, and Ran Francisco on the 
25th, at night. The prospect of re-establishing 
this enterprise on a permanent basis, is a matter 
of general congratulation. 
Tbe Supreme Court on the 22d, rendered a de¬ 
cision adverse to the Peter Smith title to real 
CBtute In San Fiancisco, except to beach and 
water lots, which are confirmed. Many millions’ 
worth of property are affected by this decision. 
It is favorable to settlers in the neighborhood Of 
Ran Francisco, and destructive to the schemes of 
real estate speculators in the various towns of 
the State. 
The Republican State Convention, on the. 21st, 
nominated Charles A. Wasbbnru, Wm. 1L Weeks,

Accounts from Hie Washoe mines are not very 
favorable regarding new discoveries. The Com¬

Official returns from the Oregon election give

regarding the new copper mines continued, and 
five claims were being opened, with due prospects. 
The papers still complain of the depredations 
of Indians, who kill cattle whenever opportuni¬ 
ties occur. 
A large number of Chinamen had congregated 
at the sea ports, waiting conveyance to British 
Columbia, whither they go on account of the 
mining tax in California. 
From New Mexico.— Indejiendevce, Mo., July 10. 
The New Mexican mail arrived at Independence, 
Mo., on the 10th inst, making schedule time. 
The mail that arrived there before this one left, 
went through in fourteen days. The road may 
now be considered open, and the malls will here¬ 
after run through on time. Mails sent this way 
arrive some ten days sooner than by the Califor¬ 
nia route. 
A fine rain has fallen in New Mexico since the 
last mail. The crops are reviving. 
The mountains around Santa Fe have been on 
fire for three weeks, and were only extinguished 
by the rain. The remains o.' two meu who per¬ 
ched in the fire have been brought in, and two 
more are missing, and are supposed to have been 
burned to death. 
The |news from the copper wines of the dis¬ 
covery of gold, is creating great excitement, and 
a large number of persons have left Santa Fe 
and other places for the mines. 
Capt. Rturgcs, with six companies of 1st Cav¬

of hunting up the Kiowas nation of Indians.

A correspondent of the London Daily News 
furnishes that journal with an account of the civil 
war in Syria, together with a narrative of the 
massacre of Christians iu Lebanon, and of the 
peiils of the American Missionaries, from which 
we extract the following: 
Beyrout, June 9. 
The official account, as furnished by the Eng¬ 
lish Vice Consul of Sidun, states the number of 
murdered to be three hundred. The French Vice 
Consul of Sidon, adds forty to this in his official 
report ; the Austrian makes the total killed 320; 
In my last letter I mentioned having proceeded to 
Deir-e)-Kamar, (a Christian town of Lebanon, sit¬ 
uated about eight hours off in the Mountain,) with 
a paity which carried with it provisions for the 
American Mission theie, the town being for sev¬ 
eral days clos' ly besieged by a very large party 
of tbeDrnsea. We reached the place on Sunday, 
the Sd, twenty-four hours after the fighting had 
ceased, but quite in time to witness the effects of 
of tbe eeige, the storm, and the partial burning of 
the town. J ustas we got to the door of Mr. Bird’s 
(the American Missionary’s) house, one of tbe 
Druses Chiefs, by name, Selim Bey, met us, riding 
at the bead of some two hundred warriors. We 
then proceeded into the upper court of the house, 
every room of which we found crowded with 
Christians of all denominations. Even the Bishop 
of the Greek Cnurch, who, a year ago, solemnly 
excommunicated irom the altar all who attended 
the American schools, w r as dow glad to find an 
asylum from his countrymen, underthe shadow of 
the stars snd sti ipes. The premises of the Amer¬ 
ican Missionaries, as also those of the French 
Jesuits—the only two Frank houses in the town- 
had been respected. We found that the lighting 
bad lasted eight hours on Friday, the 1st, the 
Christians defending themselves well until their 
ammunition failed. About a third of the town 
was burnt down. Plundering was still going on. 
and two murders were committed cloee to the 
house by wandering Druses. 
1 went twice over the points of attack, and have 
no hesitation whatever in saying, that even two 
hundred regular troops, armed as the Turkish 
soldiers are, could, if they hud the will to do so,
