GEORGETOWN AND ITS AFFAIRS.

GEORGETOWN, October 30-l2 m.
/ have been requested by many of the citi-
zens of Washington and Georgetown to suggest
to Mr.. Vanderwerken, the enterprising proprie-
tor of the Union line of omnibuses, the pro.
priety of continuing the night line until later
hour-say ii o'clock. Now that the winter is
approaching, when there are, on every night of
the week, Except Sundays,) meetings and
amusements of some kind going on in one or
the other place, have no doubt that the great
number of persons who would attend these
places, provided they could find accommodations
to return home in, would make such an arrange
ment profitable.
A Generous 1ct.-A young man, who was a
member of one of the lodges Of Odd-Feows in
our town, removed, some year or two ago. to
one of the western towns of Virginia. lie had
not been there long before he was stricken
down by disease, and became unable to pursue
his occupation. The members of Valley Lodge,
in the place where he was, not only nursed him
and administered to his wants while sick, but
Immediately upon his death called meeting,
and appropriated a sufficient amount to procure
neat coffin and defray the expenses of send
ing the corpse and the widow to this place
they also deputized q member to accompany her
all the way. They reached here on Tuesday
night and the deceased was inferred yesterday
afternoon. / have no doubt that the lodge to
which he belonged will fully remunerate and
reciprocate their kindness if an opportunity
should ever offer.
Wyman continues to draw crowded houses at
Forrest Hall, and every nights performance
appears only to increase the desire, on the part
of lovers of fun, to see and hear him.

DEAR SIR: My attention has been called by
a friend to an editorial in the Richmond En-
guirer of the I'd inst. In it you suggest that L
ought to disclaim the agency Of Mr.. O. IL. Donald
son, so far as he may hare sought to connect me
wah his correspondence which has recently ap-
peared in the New York Herald If there is
any such person as Mr.. G. Ii. Donaldson, or
ever has been, in Texas, am not aware of the
fact nor have been able to obtain information
of any such individual. l have seen several
gentlemen who have recently canvassed our
State in the late elections and not one of them
has ever heard Of Mr.. Donaldson
Enclosed / send you several editorials from
newspapers, from which you may be enabled to
come to some satisfactory conclusions as to the
Importance which should attach to the Donald.
son humbug.
Further than this have nothing to do with
the affair. If Mr.. G. III. Donaldson is real
person, and can ever be identified, it will be
found that neither he nor any other person, in
truth, has any authority to use my name in any
pledges, bargains, or agreements with any indi
viduals or cliques, for any political purpose
whatsoever; nor could |, as an honorable man,
sanction such course.
/ will leave you, sir, and all intelligent men,
to divine the object for which this extraordinary
correspondence has been gotten up, with vapid
attempt to connect my name with principles to
which have ever been opposed SO far as it
has been necessary or proper, in the discharge
of my public duties, either in speaking, voting,
or acting, have sought no concealment of my
principles; and it is due to myself that should
remain consistent with the past in all things
which may affect my own character, and the
peace, prosperity, and honor of our country
am, very truly, your most obedient servant,
