For the Columbian Fountain.

For a number of days the good citizens
of our city have been Justly alarmed with
the threatened prevalence of that loathsome
disease-the small pox. Citizens and stran-
gers have thronged the offices of our ply
sicians, and | am told that the post-office in
the House of Representatives has worn the
appearance of Hospital for sometime. In
common with the great mass, have been
advised to the use Of precautionary meas
ures against an attack from this dreadful
disease; and yet, while submitting to the
operation, could not but regard the gen.
eral anxiety and nervous excitement in rela-
ton to the subject with some surprise. A
more horrible disease-Diore prevalent
more fatal, has existed in our city ever since
its organizations; and, although it has slain
its thousands annually, but .feac seem to re-
gard it with alarm, or to join in the adop-
ton Of any means to remedy it. The first
case Of small pox aroused the public mind,
and excited public alarm; preventlves were
Immediately resorsed TO, and the guardians
of the city met in council to devise and
consult for the protection Of the citizens
from an dtlaCk Ol llllS ulSedSei AL tIllS was
right, humane, and necessary. But why so
much precaution TO guard against the raw
ages Of the small pox, while another scourge
more dreadful and desolating, is not only
permitted to sweep through every avenue,
lane and alley, but is, in fact, introduced,
supported, protected, and authorized by the
fathers of the city, the councils These
same Fathers of the city very justly and
charitably adopted measures to secure The
vaccination of the families of the poor, and
appointed physician to attend to this part
of the safety system. All right; and God
bless them for it. But these same men have
licensed a certain set of men to sell a burn
ing fire; and while the physician, bylthcir
authority, is employing the skill of his pro-
fession to counteract the approach of small
pox, the liquor seller is, by their authority,
introducing more dreadful disease, by
which the father is made . suicide, the
mother maniac, and their children in
mates of the poor-house. What gross in
consistency daring crime!

tack of small pox, but, loathsome as was

Mr. EDIToR Our town since the closing of
the navigation has been unusually dull. Business
is completely at stand, and will most probably
remain SO until the end Of February ,,when prepara-
tons for the fishery will commence. News we
have none, being Gas far as the mail arrangements
are concerned) almost out Of the world. Public
attention is directed almost exclusively to the eff
forts, now being made by the corporate authorities
and citizens generally, to have this part Of the
District retroceded to Virginia, memorials in fa-
vor of that object beirg in crculation and COM
mittees to urge its expediency on Congress and
the Virginia Assembly having been appointed

in number,) seem to coniine their oppostiot on the
firing of paper bullets in the shape Of communica-
tiens to the Alexandria Gazette, which contains
at least four or five every morning.
The rum trade, is said to be dull Several consi-
derable establishments, rumor says, are to be re-
moved elsewhere, one to your city, but fear this
result is produced rather by the operations of GER
tain vile rumholders in disguise, called confecton-
aries, than by the exertions of our friends, who
have been say the least of it. rather lukewarm Of

MOTIVES.

We are among those who believe that the
obligations men are under to the Divine Be-
ing (and which they must discharge to the
best of their knowledge, indicates the pro-
prlety that they should mark the circum-
stances around them and opportunities there
are for them to labor in that situation in
which they can accomplish the most good.
No man, who lives exclusively for himself,
without reference to the. welfare of others,
can be accounted faithful servant when he
shall have to render his account
Whether we can claim TO be acting for
the good of others or not, we deceive our
self if this is not our leading motive in oc-
cupylng the place in which we are now
found. In taking upon us this pleasing bur-,
den, the making of money, or becoming
rich, has not entered into our calculation.
We have thought it probable, at least for
time, that we shall lose. This we feel
willing to do while there is reasonable
prospect of doing good. If we should,
however, be disappointed, and make large
amount of money, we shall not be offended
We will try to use it in way that will still
alleviate misery and promote human happi-
ness.

southern view of the subject, and was utterly op-
posed to giving the notice at all. His speech was
fine specimen Of the union of sound argument
with most beautiful and splendid imagery
Mr. Ewing, OF Tennessee, was also opposed to
it. He was followed by
MIR. Baker, Of Illinois, who advocated the mea-

On last Sunday night we had the pleasure Of
listening to the Rev. Mr.. Milbun, chaplain to
Congress in the Charles street M. L. Church. He
delivered very beautiful and affecting discourse,
displaying much thought and strength, and was
heard by crowded auditory for about one hour,
with almost breathess attention. There were
great many clergymen present, whose countenan-
ces spoke the pleasure they felt in seeing one so
young occupying the walls of Zion.
The Rev. Mr.. Heston, of Philadelphia, who oc-
cupied the pulpit in the morning, is now engaged
in protracted meeting at this church. He is a
younger man than the chaplain, and has been en-
gagged in this city, and also in yours, we under
stand, as an evangelist for several weeks.
We learn that the Sabbath School Association
Of the Light street M. 4. Church are about to have
delivered course of lectures in said church, for
the benefit Of the school The first talent in the

given next Friday night by PARK BENJAMIN, Esq,

night, and SO continue each Friday and Monday

We are now, for the first time, in our own
office room, writing small article to ac-
company the fourth number of the daily

in our arrangement, we are in fair way TO
have such perfect system as to render our
daily sheet one among the most interesting
and important. Our readers will be pleased
TO see in to-day's paper letters from our cor
respondents in Baltimore, Alexandria, and
Cumberland, and several other interesting
esting and useful articles.
We say to our friends, help US In this
work of benevolence We might say TO
our enemies, if we have such, (but we trust
we have not,) help us. We intend so to
Conduct ourselves as to make you our
friends; for it is written, that 9when a

enemies to be at peace with him." We are
your friend-we are the true friend of all
we are laboring for the good OF all; and
we do believe, in despite of the fears OF our
friends and the jeers of our enemies, (if there
are any,) we shall succeed; and succeed
well in this our present undertaking. Every
hour brings with it something TO cheer us
