DISTRICT AFFAIRS.

In the Senate on Thursday, Mr. Chambers
moved the reference to the Committee on the
District Of Columbia, of the report of the joint
committee, who were at the last session charged
with the duty of preparing system of civil and
criminal laws.
Mr.. G.. said that the Joint committee had re-
ported system of laws for the District at late
period of the session, and had induced the Sc.
nate to cause it to be printed In expectation that
it's delivery, at an early period III the recess,
would enable intelligent and professional gentle.
men. and others in the District, to be prepared
at the opening OF the present session with sugges.
tons for alteration and amendment, which the
committee did not doubt were necessary TO the
greater perfection of the system. Unavoidable
circumstances, and especially the time necessar
ly devoted to the preparation OF full and salts
factory index, had delayed the publication until
the commencement OF the present session
The deep interest to all classes of persons re-
sidents IN the District, in this subject and the
imperative duty Of Congress to act promptly and
efficiently. were SO obvious that the Committee
on the District had already made it an bject Of
their attenton; and it was believed that the most
eligible plan of proceeding would be, to refer it
to the Standing Committee, to whom could be
proposed such views as might occur to practical
and professional men, for the further improve
ment and perfection Of the proposed system
He had presented these remarks for the purpose
Of making known, to those who might be dspos
ed to avail themselves of the information, the
course designed to be pursued by the committee,
and to announce the willingness of the committee
to act finally at the present session. 1t 1t should
be found practicable TO do so.
Mr.. Tomlinson presented the petition OF ciiI.
zens of some of the wards Of the City of Wash
ingtoD, on the subject OF taxes; which was refer
red to the Committee on the District Of COlum-
bia, and ordered to be printed.

was built for the object Of grinding for a
Disti'lery; since that has ceased to operate
l have had no use for it, This Mill op-
crates two puir of stones, and with n tri-
fling alteration may be made to grind not
only bread stuff, hut Plaster or Bones,
either or all. Having no use for it, would
sell it so low as to make it an object to
those wanting mill TO purchase. The
person whos built the windmill, now in
Charlestown, Is neighbor Of mine who
think would be glad OF tho job to take il
down, send it to Boston by water, carry il
where it may be wanted, and put the
same in operation.
If you think proper, you may make this
public for the information Of such as are il
want Of mill. Very respectfully
