WASHINGTON LIGHT INFANTRY.

On Monday last, the 2lst instant, this corps
paraded, headed by the Marine Band, making,
10Th as to numbers and discipline, the handsomest
appearance we ever recollect to have seen them
make before As the parade was an adjourned
anniversary one, Ohcy having paid visit to Bal

of attending the ceremonies Of laying the corner

set aside or'the purpose Of presenting their for

several streets they proceeded to the Capitol. in

In presenting the cup, Capt. France remarked:

We have received communication, putting
certain interrogatories to the individual who signed
his name to communication III the Globe, which
we must decline publishing, unless requested to
do so by the person to whom they are addressed
We have set our course, to steer clear, as far as
possible, (unless in selfdefence,) Of all personal
animadversions; andas this communication touches
private matters, which it alleges have become pub
lie, we think it advisable to withhold it-though
we must acknowledge the person alluded to has
laid himself open to such attacks, by taking up
such subjects, in the way he has. The indi-
vidual can see the charges made against him, or

The CAUSE GOES cHEERINGLY oN-The New
Orleans I" Native American announces in one of
its late papers, that instead Of languishing and
dying, as lis foes hoped and had predicted, it is
obliged 10 enlarge and improve its sheet, for the
purpose of meeting demands against its columns
from increasing advertising patronage III the City,
SO extensive is It's circulation in New Oreans,-
and that as to its country subscribers, they are
rapidly increasing, having received upwards of
sixty within the last three days" This is indeed
cheering, and we do hope its success may con-
tnue, as it is richly merited. And we would
here remind our friends, and the friends Of the
cause, that our list might be very materially in
creased. by little exertion on their part; still,
we do not now yield the palm in numbers TO any
newspaper circulation printed in the City. If
this is the case, which we believe our City list
will prove, it must be evident that our paper is
good channel through which to advertise. We
hope orr friends will take the hint, and send in
their advertisements, and as many new names as
they choose. Our flag is still floating in the
breeze triumphantly, and will continue to do so,
despite the attacks Of partizans and party presses

The Metropolis and the Globe have been
assaing us ever since last Saturday, and it
was as much as we could do to waste the time
in answering, or rather playing off" on them
this week, what we have DONE Perhaps we may
give them broadsde next week, if we have no
thing else of more importance to attend to. But
we advise the Metropolis to be quiet hat
if the clerks and the gentlemen Of the Democracy
Of the City were ashamed to march in the late
procession, and walked on the pavements-who's
business is that Don't let the truth trouble
you so. We intend to state facts all the time-we
care not whether they bear hard on Wing or De.

NAVY YARD FIRE COMPANY.

/ On Thursday last we went to see the apparatus
and house Of this company, commonly, or orig
inally called fThe Anacostia." aud must aware
its members the need Of praise due them. Every
thing is got up in good style. The House is spa,
cious and well arranged. The new Engines are
OF the first order, and in as good style as the
most Of Agnew's make. Their apparatus now
consists ola new Engine aud Suction. (manufac-
tured by John Agnew, Of Philadephia,) new
Hose Reel manufactured by Mr.. Buckingham,
Of our City,) 1000 feet of new Hose (manuiac-
tured by Mr.. Lamb of this City,) and their old
Engine together with all the other necessary
implements useful at fires. Their meeting room,
! is large and well furnished. Their belfry is not
yet supplied with bell, but will be shorily-to
weigh, we understand between $50 and 400
members are not few, nor backward at their duty,
being composed principally of those who know
how to- and do work at fires. On the whole,
we consider this great acquisition to our fire
department, dhaye no doubt the sAnacostia, =
in her new dress (by the by, one PANEL Of the
Engine is decorated with an Indian Chief-the
other by squaw,) will be equally as efficient at
fires as she was in Ter old.
And we must here congratulate our citizens
on the great additions and improvements that
against the destroying element Every company
| in the City is now well supplied with all the
necessary articles for the extingushment Of fires;
and while our countrymen on every side Of US
are suffering from this fatal friend, we have been
blessed Of late in not being visited by its uncon-
trollable vengeance; and, should it come, we
have the consolation Of knowing thatw we are well
prepared for it. Still, we know not how long we
may escape the enemy. The torch ofthe incen.
diary is busy and as we all learn, sure. Never
theess, we cannot be too watchful. Let our po-
lice be on the alert. Let suspicion rest on the
suspicious-better that fifty suspicious-look
persons should undergo an examination, than
that one fire should occur. There are many such
wandering our streets, and unless they can give
la good account Of themselves they should be
put where they can do no harm. Let our citi-
zens give that aid and countenance to the fire
companies that their arduous land in many cases
thankless) duties require, and we shall soon have
the satisfaction Of seeing every young mans
name enrolled on the list of one or the other Of
the fire companies Of the City, and ready at
tevery call to sacrifice their time, and risk their
lives, for the gcod the property, and the lives,
Of their fellow citizens-tor we hold that with
out Companies properly formed and drilled, no
fires can be subdued in half the time they can
be with good companies-and this is the neces-
| sity for every youag citizen, at least attaching
himself to one. We hope the hint will not be
without its effect.
