In mare substantial T-ments tbe change is even greater aad marked. Tbe unsightly deck, which rmerly leaked at every seam, and which, in regard to fitting and material, wus than Is seen in small coasters, has made tolerably good. It is not in the newer of shipwright ever to make this a good deck, bnt it has certainly been inteltrtf improved. It Is now at least perfectly vtiei-tsght, well caulked, reduced to a fair itr-d, and when scraped aad varnished will well enough. The wheel-house.

Four wheels are how fitted, so that tWrty-, two men can be employed, in case of id very stormy weather. Eight men, howf bave as yet been tonnd ample to steer witb the greatest ease. A tiller has also been fitted to the lower deck fonr very flue additioaal life-boats bave been added to those carried, aad all ibe boats forward of -Dr padole-b-ixee have, in compliance with the aaa of the Board of Trade officers, been bung laaaud, so as to be ont of danger in case ot kanTJ seas striking the bows.

Tbe Indiarubyr packing has been removed from between ttefawest flanges of the iron masts, and with wedges of hornbeam, and iron have been fixed over the sky ol iMB-ooaa. With regard to the engines, the BbBM have been made self-feeding by tbe use injector, though the paddle iv also be fad from tbe donkey engines, at in addition, the new feed-pnmps attached He screw engines fnrntah enough water to all tbe boilers in the ship. Tbe piston rah of ihe paddle engines bave beea by lengthening tbe stuffing boxes, and vibration in the air-pump rods relieved by easing tbe stiffness of the buckets.

Additional fire-pumps bave been placed at deck, and the wooden casings of the funnels to give a better draught of air, keep as saloons cool, and tbe wood free from any singer of ignition. A screw tunnel along the strew shaft bas also been made of iron, rtyetted like one piece to the iron bulkheads and of tbe ship, and this, with longi(iiiial bands of wrought iron, and extra crdtrrs of immense strength and thickness wilder the cwgo deck, has made the whole bull the vessel as strong as it can ever be made vtth iron. regards the fittings of the saloons below, greater Improvements have been made.

In fact, all the ira.r.ivemeniß which were suggested by the ri of Trade, or which the experience of tbe trial trips made last year showed to be wantlag, have been carefully effected, and whatever sbortcominga now remain are only mere of cousunction, and ores which are never likely to be removed.

CErvT ICCIPTIHCI OF HOW. T. JOBBBOH, V. Johaaoa, who aomtoattoa oa Saaator pemck, of Alabama a Wash- Monday night. SfwaAiag af qaee- Uoa of difference, I said the demand for Congressional ventlon was properly rejected at Obarlestoa.

And why do I say sol Beeaase It waa the agreement between North and Booth that the slavery agitation shoaid be removed from the Halle of Congress and the people of the be left perfectly free to regu- late tbeir domestic instituUons In tbeir own way, subject to the Constitution of United i States. This was the principle of the Gempromisemeae reset practically ap- piled in ihe Nebraska and Kansas act, in 1(354. It was adorned by both the great political par ties of the Uatted States la H-A2. It triumphed in tbe elecUoa of Franklin Pierce, la that year, and of James Buchanaa In 1856. It is, perhaps, the bast ground of compromise hetwaea tbe North aad the Son Ut which human ingeunitycandev.ee.

It is understood by the people of all sections, aad by it the Demo- era tic party, at least, of all sec lions, should be wUllag to abide. It gives advantage to neither section over other, because it refers all i of dispute between them, either as to Congressional or Territorial power over the subject of slavery, to the final arbitrament of the Supreme Court of tbe Uaited Stoles. It is. therefore, safe for tbe North aad safe for tbe i South. Its practical working is not without satisfactory results.

Where tbe people of a Territory desire slave labor, aad tbe soil aud climate are salted to it, slavery will go. Where these conditions do i not exist, it will not go. This finds an lllus- traiion in New Mexico, where slavery Is established, and in those Territories where it is excluded. Only a few days ago a proposition 1 to repeal the slavery laws of Near Mexico waa made and rejected. Mexico, on the one hand, i and the anti-slavery law of Kansas on i other, were made and rejected tn the Senate.

I Suppose these projosttions, or either of them, I had prevailed. Is It not certain tbat the conn- try would have beea thrown into the highest I excitement! But, by their rejection, nou-in- lerventioa was practically adhered to and the public mind is satisfied a quiet. i Let us maintain it firmly aud faithfully, i We are bound to it by every consideration of i interest and obligation of compact; its abandon ment will prove fatal to the National Democratic party, and ultimately to tbe Union itself it will drive tbe So uth in to intense sectionrtiism, and tbe North into the ranks of Black Republicanism. I do not say every man of tbe North, lor I know that the great body of tbe Northern Democracy will remain true to the Constitution, despite the overwhelming flood of its relentless cohorts- but I mean that the free labor States weald be controlled by Black would not be able to return a single member to either House of Congress friendly to the constitutional rights of the South. I trust that such a condition of things may never exist; but.

If It should, I know of no way by which the Union can be saved. Hence the doctrine of Congressional Intervention, as advocated by this new-born sectional party, 19 fraught with peril to the country. Tha qnestton is now distinctly presented to the people whether they will adhere to tbe doctrine of non-intervention, or whether they will abandon it; whether they will re-open tbe slavery agitation, by requiring Congress to take jurisdiction over it, or whether they will give repose to the public mind and security to the Union by leaving it where the Compromise leaves the tree action of tbe people of tbe Territories under tbe Constitution of the United States.

Johnson, who has accepted the nomination in place of Mr. Kitspntrick, is a native of Georgia. He was born in Burke county, in that State. September 18th, 1812, and is, therefore, in the forty-eighth year or bis age. He haa received a liberal education, having graduated at tbe University of Georgia io 1831, afterwards adopting the profession of law, ia which he achieved some success.

Mr. Johnson was Presidential elector in 1844, and in was apiminted to fill a vacancy in the United Senate.

His horse was a spirited animal and immediately grew First it threw him from iv back, and then started off at full speed, drawing him along on the ground. After it ran to the barn, and aronnd it several times, Mrs.

Dewall saw tbe dreadful condition of her husband and hastened out to his relief', but this only frightened the animal tbe more, and tnrnlng In another direction, jumped over a woodpile, causing a dreadful mutilation of Mr. Dewall's body, and then ran off for a distance of two miles before auy one could stop The appearance of Mr. Dewall's person was horrid in tbe extreme.

A dispatch from Washington to Alexandria (J-aaetto says: Tbe friends of Mr.

Breckinridge determined upon their tactics, at least so far as Virginia Is concerned. It is understood tbat a State Convention la the Breckinridge interest will he called to meet early in Augast next, to re-arrange the Democratic electoral ticaet of tbe State, purging it of the Douglas element. The following telegraphic dispatches published in tbe New York papers: St. Lotus, Jnne Seceders are holding a grand mass meeting here to-night, to ratify tbe nomination at Baltimore of Breckinridge and Lane. Tbe Bulletin office is brilliantly lighted ap, and covered with flags, banners and transparencies.

A saints of one bandied and five gaus is being fired in Lucas park, and Col. Prestos, U. S. Minister to Spain, will he serenaded at the Planters' House this evening, and called ont to make a speech in favor of the nominees. Tbe enthusiasm is fully up to that ef the Dooglasites.

Albaby, June friends of Breckinridge and Lane in this city are having a great jubilee to-night. One hundred and one gnns bave been Bred, one for every vote that Breckinridge aad Lane received in the Convention. The Standard newspaper office Is brilliantly illuminated, and State street and Broadway are in perfect blaze with bonfires of tar. A procession, beaded by a hand of music, is parading the streets, aud the streets themselves are filled with people, all cheering lustily for Breckinridge and Laae. The demonstration la equal in every respect to the Douglas celebration on Saturday night.

Kimobtoh, N. June nomination of Douglas for President was hailed with enthusiasm here. The village is flaming with rockets and fire-works, and one hundred guns were fired. Oswego, N. June Democracy are firing guns over tbe nomination ol Douglas, which fully meets their approval.

Tbbbtob, N. Jane Democracy of this city this evening fired one hundred guns for the nomination of Douglas. A meeting will be held to-morrow evening to form a club, preparatory to arranging for a grand ratification meeting. Tbe True American, it ia announced, -will raise the of Douglas to-morrow morning. Two reasons are urged in favor of tbat his platform is all that is asked for by the Democratic party, and the other that bis nomination has been made by the regular Democratic Convention.

Habtfobd, June vast crowd gathered aronnd the Daily Post newspaper office this evening to testify their approval of tbe nomination of Douglas aad Fitzpatrlck by the Democratic National Convention. Oue hundred guns are new being fired in the park, and as tbeir sound comes booming oyer the city, it gives unmistakable evidence tbat "popular sovereignty" and "non-intervention will be earnestly sustained by tbe Democracy of Hartford. Hbidofobt, June national salute was fired here this evening, in honor of tbesapmi nation of Stephen A. Douglas. Me Pierce pronounces the nomination of Douglas a sectional one.

Tbe secession of tbe Boston Post creates quite a stir among the old political stagers here. Some Democrats are tn quandary about tbe Baltimore tbe rank and file are enthusiastic for The Patriot and all the party papers in tbe State will support Douglas, except Burkes Democrat. Dovbu, June National Democrats of this city received the nomination of Breckinridge and Lane with tbe greatest enthusiasm, and a salute fired in honor of the event.
