SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE. Tbe nr«xlcan Wiar, its Enormous Expense— Oeak’MarshfUil a n d Col. F e y ton—L ieut. Curd and Judge Mason. Correipondence of The Tribune, W ashinqton , Oct. 89,1846. It is the general opinion here, as I understand, that efforts w ill b e made, on the reassembling of Congress, for the appointment of Committees of In vestigation to inquire into the whole course of the Administration as to the object and expense o f the W a r thus far carried on; w h at the prospects are o f its termination •, w h a t are the Administration's esti mates as to its costs for the future; whether the E x e c u tive entered into any intrigue w ith S anta A nna , by which the latter, with A lmonte and other Mexican oflBcers were permitted to pass into Vera Cruz through our blockade o f that port; what the two millions of money asked for o f Congress by the President w a s really wanted for, and whether or not any of that desired sum has been drawn from the Treasury and paid away. I t is believed that calls for infoiTuation in the shape o f resolutions, adopted by Congress, w ill not bring the intelligence desired. They will be too long delayed, or not answered at all. W e r e the war to be brought to a close forthwith the best judges compute the aggregate of all its ex- jienses, to say nothing of the thousand of our brave officers and soldiers who have been slain in bat tle, and the thousand that have perished by sick ness on the Bio Q-rande, at no less than one Imn- dred and f i ft y millions of_ dollars ! This sum in silver, it is computed, would load toubteen hundred six - horse wagons , and would Luire a train o f teams to draw it more than tw e n - V-ONE MILES LONG! A ll this expended in carrying war thus far, under the managei nomical,” this self-stjded “Democ tion, w h e n it is generally believed that w e could have obtained P eace, California and the B io Grande for a boundary for a sum not exceeding ten millions o f dollars! A beautiful business! The new s received by the Southern mail last evening is important, and p u ts the public mind out of suspense in regard to the intercepting of dis- Magne icky, and Col. B alie P eyton of Few-O r- i. ^ T he quarrel probably originated in M ar - ,L s known hostility to General T aylor . It appears that the n e w ly appointed Brigadier Gen erals drew for seniority in rank—that M arshall drew the first position, I , ane the second, H amer thetafrd, &c. and thatnotwithstandingM arshall ’ s rank, General T aylor selected H amer and G uit - MAN to accompany _him with their commands to Monterey.

Lieut. C urd , of the Army, arrived and brought letters for General S cott , but nothing for the Government. Clnite an amusing incident occurred at Fuller’s Hotel on the arrival there of Lieut. C urd , as 1 Judge M ason , the S ecretary o f the Havy, w a s at the hotel, and learning that Lieut. C urd w a s direct from the Army at Moi gentleman i f he brought < ■ey, politely asked that lispatches for the Secre tary o f W a r. No, Sir, said the Lieutenant to the interrogater, whom he did not recognize, I brought no'dispatches for the Secretary of Wai-. M y dis patches are for General S cott . Judge M ason then asked him i f he would not call at the Depart m ent and s e e the Secretary o f W ar. No, he said, he did not k n ow as he had anything to call on Gov. M arcy for. A friend h ere informed the Lieuten ant that the gentlemen who w a s talking w ith him w a s Judge M ason , the Secretary\ of the N a v y , whereupon Lieut. C urd very handsomely excused himself for not h avingrecognized Judge M ason , and said he would call a t the Departments and g ive the Secretaries such information as he possessed.— Judge M ason laughed, and said he would b e happy to m e e t him th e r e ; but he did not understand w h y \ ipatches brought by Lieut.

A man named Hewitt was killed near the Falls o f Schuylkill, being crushed between two cars, and the Baltimore train ran off the track near Ches ter after demolishing three cows butno passengers. Two or three persons missed their pocketbooks, watches, &c. after too confidently enjoying a look at the Decatur ob sequies. ^ ________ C lT r ITEMS. Goodbye, October!—m erry, melancholy Oc tober—with your glorious midnights and magnificent sunsets. Never glided away sweeter month to ‘ the dim dominions of the Past.’ True, we have had some dreary days and wild nights, when the wind howled like Famine through the streets, and the tom awnings flapping sail like againsttheir posts, made one almostthink that Broad way was at sea in a gale. True, many sad things have happened in this month, and to look back through the record o f crimes, casualties, deaths and calamities duly paraded in the papers, is enough to make one weep, if one could get time amid the dinners one is obliged to eat, fires to go to. juries to sit on and musicians to wel come. But somehow, misery has a most happy faculty of being soon forgotten. Like a drowning man, it man ages speedily to sink below the surface, and is forgotten ere the beam which painted the bubble filled by his last breath has changed its angle. This has been rather a busy week, and news-boys have waxed fat and ragged—sure signs of the prosperity of their trade. Policemen have been busy negro-hunting— which, by the help of a §50 stimulus, they have done nearly as well as the blood-hotmds they employ for that purpose in Florida. The Editor of the Journal of Com- merce has been busy in reveiwing the ‘ simple interest’ of the money he invested in the Tabernacle: Yankee Doodle has been cutting pictures with his ax—a business at which he rapidly improves: Mock auctioneers have been regalvanizing their rusty brass watches, and indo lent divines retouching their forgotten sermons for a new campsdgn of acUve service. The dry-goods men have been engaged getting out boxes o f last year’s unsold goods from the garrets and cellars, and displaying their contents a». ‘ something in the very latest style—just come over, upon my honor. Madam 1’ Mr. Boyle has been earnestly at work trying to cast his ‘ spell ’ over us, and Herz has been getting up summer showers of mu sical rain-drops, enough to make one’s brain grow flowers. Mr. W alker can’t get any thing to p ut into his Sub-trea sury b o x ; and if Gov. Bouek were obliged to give bonds for only the amount o f funds entrusted to his keeping, the Old W hite Horse would be sufficient security. So that, in one way or another, the present has been enough to occupy every body’s time and attention, while the Past has had no scholars to attend his lessons, and the Future (except to these who have notes to pay) is as i f it were not. -------- H en r i H e r z .—I t m u s t have been extrem ely gratiiyang to this distinguished artist to find that we in the United States knew so well how to appreciate his genius and to welcome him among us. He found him self the center o f a group of admiring artists, whose talents would gain them an enviable position even in Paris itself, where Herz has so long been one of the ac knowledged and unquestioned celebrities. The high expectations raised by the intimate acquaintance which we all have with the beautiful compositions for the Piano which have created a new school o f music, were In no wise disappointed. His execution is the very per fection of grace, delicacy, lightness, elasticity, equality, and all those charming fascinations which remain as the last achievements o f the artist, and the possession of which so few over achieve. W e copied an article from the Harbinger some time since, which spoke of Herz as a ‘ musical pyrotechnist.’ The epithet was brilliant but inappropriate. We should rather compare his execu tion to the most delicate flower-work which the frost fairies draw upon the window-pane in their frolicsome hours of winter moonlight. His harmonies and com binations are so symmetrical, and his fingering is so rapid and precise, that one would think a bird had escaped from his fingers and went undulating and singing through the air. But we must confess that we were n ot excited by his playing; nor did it seem to be any p art o f the effect at which he aimed to rouse his hearers—rather to subdue, delight and soothe them with such fairy-like speech as would have stayed Shakspeare himself to hear. L eutze ’ s I mage -B reakers . —In the Galleiy of the Art Union is to be seen for a few days—we see it stated in the Post—a remarkable picture by our country man, Leutze. It represents the Puritans destroying tiie images and ornaments of a Roman Catholic Church. The picture is full of life and action, nobly conceived and finely painted. The grim figures of the soldiers, rushing to the work with their axes—the terror o f the worshipers, an affrighted group of whom, on their knees, are gathered before the altar—the rich sculptures and decorations o f the Church—are all most strikingly given. It is the best picture that this artist has painted. In the same collection will remain, for a few days, sev eral pictures by G. L . Brown, who returns to Rome next week. One is a moonlight view of Venice, a companion of that of the Doge’s palace, which we spoke of the other day. It is hardly less beautiful than the otiier. Another is a landscape, with figures o f the Saviour and St. John; a third, a moonlight view of the Bay of Salerno; all of splendid execution. The little picture of the Tuscan Countty Girl, by the same artist, is an uncommonly beau tiful thing. National Convention o f Inventora. M r . E d ito r ; Your correspondent, in his brief i marks relative to the proceedings of the Annual Con vention of Inventors, h eld in Philadelphia on Tuesday last, committed an important error in stating that the substitute offered by Mr.Rosovelt wa» approved, where as there appeared to he a general disinchnation to favor the substitute; for a second to the motion to substitute, ill av;i;uxuauut; vviui meir IQSiTUCuOJlS JrOZZl Tng Convention of last year, and which was before both Houses of Congress that was taken by sections, and with some n ot very important modifications, that were approved by the Convention.

We have spoken in commendation of this work from time to time as the several numbers have appeared, and now that they are all before us in one elegantly bound volume, we can only reiterate our previously expressed opinion of its merits. It is not a collection of trash such as too often finds its way into the hands of chil dren, but a work as elevated in its aims as it Is elegant in typographical execution. We are glad to know that it has a wide circulation. A heautiful steel vignette in troduces the volume.

A n I nteresting C ask .—A case of considerable interest was tried in Baltimore County Court some days ago. It involved the freedom of a negro woman named Maria Wilson, her nine children and several grand-children. The facts as contended for hy the parties, as stated in the Sun, are, that between forty and fifty years ago, the administration of Sarah Worth ington, who died in Baltimore County about the year 1804, sold a negro woman named Hannah to Joshua Richards, now deceased, for tho balance of h er term of servitude, said to be eight years—that at the time of the sale Hannah had an infant about eight months old, which infant (Maria, the present petitioner,) was permitted by the administration from motives of humanity to pass into the possession of Joshua Richards with an understanding that Richards was to have the services of Maria for a reasonable length of time, to compensate Mr. Richards for the trouble and inconvenience of supporting Maria as an infant through the stages of childhood, until she should be able to be of use—that Maria remained with Mr. Richards upward of twenty years, was married with his approbation to a colored man named Henry W il son, had children, and some 12 o r 15 years since, with the approbation and consent of Mr. Richards, left him, and has since lived with h er husband, by whom she has had the large family spoken of and which now form the subject of the present controversy. On the other hand, the defendants contend thatHannnh and h er child Maria were sold to Mr. Richards as slaves, for a term of years, and that all the children of Maria are slaves for life; that as such they were claimed by Mr. Richards in his life time, bequeathed by him in his will, and as such claimed by the heirs off Joshua Richards, who, since his death, arrested and p ut them into the jail of Hope H. Slatter, who purchased. John, one of the petitioners, and upon whose case this issue was made up. A great deal of interesting testimony was presented upon botii sides, and able arguments made before the Court upon several pro- poiitionsoflaw ; at length the case was argued before the Jury, who retired at 4 o’clock on Monday afternoon, and after being locked up for twenty-four hours, came into Court on yesterday afternoon with a verdict o f free dom to the petitioners. On the announcement of the verdict, the defendant’s counsel filed a motion for a new trial, which we suppose will be arguedat an early day. [Balt.

This is manifested, however, more in words than in action, and the press is compelled to keep fanning the flame. On the 9th o f September, Gen.

The citizens of any nation at war with the Republic are excluded from the benefits of this decree. Apart from the ulterior operations of this decree, it strikes us as having an immediate design, to enable foreigners to serve as Mexicans in Mexican pri- Gomez, Farias, the Secretary of the Treasury, ad dressed a circular on the 9th of September to the Gov ernor of the States, calling upon them to make up the arrears o f the national revenues, which had been cut short by the blockade of ports, &c. The Government is energetically endeavoring to or ganize a National Guard. A meeting of the citizens of Vera Cruz was held on the 20th ult. in obedience to a call upon them, to perfect an organization. The papers speak of the project as the grand scheme of their na tional regeneration.

In addition to these advantages, the Company have made arrangements for the construction of small but neat and elegant chapels at either end of the route, where a strictly orthodox clergyman will be found in constant attendance for the purpose of framing commendatory resolutions, ex pressive o f thanks and gratitude to Providence, and of producing impromptu sermons, thrillingly descriptive of the perils of the voyage.

In that report it was stated that the sum of $205,948 18 was required to pay the debt then owing by the Company and to put the Canal in a condition to transport 200,000 tons of Coal and yield a net revenue of $75,000 during the season of 1846. Only $119,000 of the sum required was raised, and consequently the Ca nal has been barely put in working order, and the ex pectations as to the profits from the tolls “have not been realized, as it was impossible, with the means furnished, to put the work in a condition to transport more than one-fifth o f the Coal estimated in the report of March 10, 1846.
