To the Editors Of the American Telegraph
GENTLEMEN: The mosquito, or moscheto, is
species of gnat which infests various parts of
America, and it is indeed troublesome Gus
toner. 1t does appear that this little pest has
taken q particular liking to Washington city,
and more especially to that part or division OF
it entitled "the Island" Here it has caused
many sleepless night, not only by its unwel-
come music in the ears reclining on the pillow
that promised repose either in the ioys or sor-
rows of life, but by inficting with its little
sting-or whatever naturalists may call 1.-THE
seyerest wounds on every delicate skin espe-
cially and sucking the very fe's-blood with all
the avIdity of the horse-leech. To render this
communication as brief and useful as can,
shaii!close by recommending remedy for the
dreadful annoyance occasioned by this vile little
depredator, and informing the public how
came by 1T, and that is as follows lady Of
very acute sensibilities, and of highly nervous
temperament, with the fairest and most delicate
SKIN, with the sweetest blood flowing through
her veins, who had been almost devourcd by
these mosquitoes for the last two or three
weeks, asked me if could not devise some
thing to protect her from the ravages Of these
dreadful little pests. Therefore Immediately
set my wits to work, and after thinking OF THIS
thing and that thing, and almost every thing
hnally was struck with very simple, ana, as
It has proved itself to be- very efhcacious
thing as a repellant to these miserable insect
assailants. The remedy is simply this: wet
the parts exposed every now and then with the
alcoholic solution of camphor l would also
advise the fumes Of camphor-a fumigatlon OF
this sort may be employed in this way throw
small lump or humps Of the gum camphor on
arhot shovel, and let the fumes invade the room
or chamber, about nightfall, with thel winoows
and doors closed. opening them afterwards and
again closing them.

GENTLEMEN; While portion Of our people
are attempting to liberate those who are held
in bondage by kings and queens, others are
attempting to take a portion of our liberties
from US, and that one of the most sacred priyi-
leges secured to US by the Constitution, viz: the
liberty Of speech-a privilege inestimable to
freedom, and dreaded only by grants. You have
published the resolution, offered in our Board of
Common Council recently, to inquire into the
expedency Of making law to abridge the free
dom Of speech in this city, the free Metropolis
of free nation. And what are the reasons
alleged for this attempt to take from us our
rights? Oh, crowds are collected on the side
walks, and noise and tumult created Who
makes the noise? when any is made, which is
very seldom.) Why, men who are made drunk
on the Sabbath day by those who sell liquor on
that day, in riolation ofldto! If the individual
who offered this resolution wishes to prevent
real evils, let him have laws made which will
secure the enforcement of the Sunday liquor
lar, md other laws made by Congress and the
Corporation against gambling and the sale of
lottery tickets; then he will be conferring real
benefit on the community, instead of trying to
prohibit men from " warning their fellow-men
from errors path," by moral suasion-a priyi-
lege which the subjects of Queen Victoria enjoy
even in London, which does no harm, but has
done much good in this city.

TO the Editors of De 4msseda 7slSyraph. y.
GEsTIEMES: An error occurred in the head
ling Of q paragraph 10 the communication of
your dailycorrespondent, ELEorRo, on Wedness
day. which created some laughter and no little
surprise among theroaders of the 1elsgruf,h in
misplace. The idea Of the paeketbfig Fidslia.
from Ponce, Porto Rico, reaching GeorTgptb5wn
by way Of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, Was
so novel that many wondered how she accom-
plished such jperilous voyage and the; Rip;
Van Winkles-Tfor we have many of this class
of persons among us-rwho never arouse from
their lethargy, except when there is money bid
fof them, and conseqdently they are always
! twenty years behind the age, and always op-
posed TO every thing in the shape of public i'm
provements, (unless you can get them to believe
that they will reap all the benefit, to the entire
exclusion of every one else, whether it be retro
cession, charter reforms, raising bridges, improy-
ing streets, the establishment of public schools,
or making any kind Of preparation for the ac-
commodation of the coal trade. But the great
ness Of the above-named idea Immediately
aroused them from their slumbers, and they ut
once came to the conclusion that the Canal had
marched right through the mountains to the
Ohio river, and had secured therefrom, an abun-
dant supply Of water for all seasons, without
any aid from our Corporation; and thus the
voyage was accomplished. \ And they shouted
right out, that q brighter day had dawned on
Georgetown, and q glorious epoch in her his-I
tory had arrived Now their houses and lots
would improve in price, their stocks rise and
add still further to their already accumu-
lated thousands, at somebody else's labor
and expense, they never having raised a finger
or loaned dollar to bring it all to pass. And
sure enough, MS Pat says q brighter day has
dawned upon US, for the bone and sinew of our
town-the young men, merchants, mechanics,
and Professional beginning to arouse to
sense of their duty to the town and themselves,
and are fast breaking in sunder the lilliputian
bands with which these drones have kept them
bound for the last quarter of q century and l.
have no doubt that the meeting which is to take
place at Forrest Hall, on the third Tuesday in
this month, will tell tale that will astound
these clogs in the wheel of reform and progress
sion, by letting them see that the glory has de-
parted from them, or, in other words, that the
reins of the town government are about to slip
from their grasp into the hands of those who
are opposed to sitting down In g mastery mac
tivity." We hope that the press of our town
will come out of Sleepy Hollow, and speak out
upon some, if not all, the important questions
which are being presented for our considera-
tion, that the people may see their duty, and
h .-.,it t..,r ~. ..+,rs,,se,-. Go AHEAD.
