We must, therefore. work together for the achieve
ment Of the objects in view
We have some further remarks 10 make In this
connexion but have space for them to day.
To- morrow will endesvor TO give them in a
chapter omnibuscs.
SUDDEN DsATns.-On Saturday last Thomas
Woodward, rsq., held inquests on the bodies OF
three men in this city. and in each the YER
dict was that death had been occasioned by expo
sure To the excessive heat and drinking too freely
Of cold water. The deceased all aboring
men; they had all worked hard Friday; they
all taken i'll in the latter part of the day, and
they all died. we believe, in the latter part of that
night. Their names are William Keyes, working
ON the Capitol grounds; Patrick Maloney, work
ing at the canal and -- Fitzgerald, working
the streets.

L STREET BAPTIST CHuRcH.-Sx persons were
yesterday immersed in the baptsmal fount in this
church by the Rev. Messrs. Sampson aud Cushman.
We regret to learn that Mr. Sampson, who has
been for several years the esteemed pastor Of this
church, has announced his purpose of withdrawing
to enter upon II new, though probably more cx-
tended field of labor

noon last. between couple of young gentlemen Of
very tender age. We did not think the origin of
the fight sufficient to produce such serious effects
nor in good truth were the disasters attendant up
on it very momentous. bloody nose was all that
could be reported to a surgeon. One fact we OBJ
served very singular, namely, that the young
gentlemen parted no better terms of friendship
than had existed before the fight. We could not
hence any utility in it. Angry feelings had
not been subdued, and principle Of justice had
been settled
Bob and Thad were the names of the hostile par
ties, learned from the cries of the surround
ing friends of the combatants respectively. Thad
has nose Of peculiar, yet not ungraceful forma-
ton This Bob had stigmatzed as "a cussed pug
wn he ofI.p riv md for this
offence Thad mounted Bob. In this thought
Thad was wrong; yet we could not justify Bob; he
had right to offer an indignity to Thad's nose.
But as the fight was not an affair of great mag
nitude shall say little about it, but
simply turn attention to the that inno-
Gently bcgat the whole difficulty 1t is pug; there
is mistake about that. Now, there exists pre-
JUDGE against pug People seem to think
pug nose indicative of arstocratic feelings, be-
cause, forsooth. it is always looking up. Does
toad not look up, Does duck in storm not look
up? Are they aristocratc? The prejudice is I'M
wise and unjust. pug gives more indi-
cation of aristocratic feelings than does red nose
of the quality of the potstions that make it so.

The is often very unjusty charged with
making red; but it is opinion that the
moon and the stars more frequent witnesses of
the operation, whether they influence it or not.
Whatever is the cause, red nose does not often
lead to the dispars cement of its does
pug nose We have frequently heard the remark
made of the of one of these, "Oh, he's stuck
upi" while his nose the only stuck up feature
about him.
II red noses were to turn up, il would occasion
SURPRISE as the odor OF the breath would be deemed
sufficient But red do not turn up.
They sometimes become elongated, and take
slight downward. This, perhaps, proceeds
from the constant inclination to dip into the pull

they accomplish this purpose, whats phzzing there

This would be radical brag-going to the root
of the subject We sometimes the Ave-
nue. a that could beat this declara-
ton of ef.importnnce, although its pretensions
would be no loitier. :" I'm some bcets :" would be
the self graduating exclamation. But none Of
these vauntings would be superior TO the rightful
claims Of the respectable pug, which could enter
the competition of the vegetable market, and as
sumo to be " some turn-up!"
In these days of sufIocation, our estimate of
desirable calls for the capacity to inhae large
volumes of atmospheric air. pug, with the aper-
lures large enough TO display the yclvety gloss Of
the schneiderian membrane, comes up to this de-
scription pretty WE'LL though admit the great
Roman nose, with it's vast muscular energy, to
promise greater advantages. The negro (if his
vegetable qualities may be introduced in this con-
nexion) s indigenous to climate calling for this
peculiar advantage, and he has flat nose Of great
responsiveness. This would to some minds be proof
OF the adapedncss of that description of nose to the
Of warm weather. But it's superiority to the
Roman nose is not yet cstablshedi for the wcarer
Of the latter is intellectual man. and intellectual
men keep their lips compressed, assigning to the
the whole duty Of breathing; while the negro,
whose mental labors are not excessive permits the
specific gravity Of his lips (the only gravity about
him) to protrude them. and keep the mouth open
to divide the labor of respiration with the nose
