Annrsr OF An EDITOR. THE Richmond Time

ARREST OF AN EDITOR The Richmond Times
states that on Saturday night, John Nj. Daniel,
ESQ.,, editor of the Richmond Exanliaer, was
arrested at his room, and being taken before
the Mayor, was recognised, under penalty of
$1,000, to keep the peace towards William O..
Scott, esq, the Delegate from Powhatan, over
whose signature card of a personal character
appeared in the Why of Saturday morning.
Efforts have been made to secure the arrest of
Mr. Scott, but we know not with what success.
We have excitements in our city occasionally
from like causes; but to the honor Of our
Mayor we have to say, that in the most recent
instance--7the only one, we believe, during his
Mayoralty--he was prompt and faithful in the
performance of his duty, to save the lives OF
good men, and to defend and uphold the NUM-
cipal law.
1t is very remarkable that our legislators,
usually esteemed the highest, and our rowdies,
universally acknowledged the lowest members
of society, cannot manage their polemics with
out resort to british modes of arbitrament;
while the farmers, the merchants, the mechan-
les, and all the good, and sensible, and honest,
and just men in the medium places of the social
world, unanimously contemn and despise such
appeals, and trust their rights and privileges
to the laws of their country and the tribunal
of the opinions of mankind.
IN In the progress Of civilization we trust we
may all attain to knowledge of the philoso-
ply, the morality, and religious conviction by
which these are guided. The latest to unite
in the work of reform are usually the ecclesias-
tics in religion, the doctors in medicine, and
the lawyers and politicians in the theory and
practice Of the statutes they are empowered to
enact and interpret. Yet, at more or less
remote distance, they all follow in the wake of
the classes we have named, who are emphati-
.cally THE PEOPLE Of our country.

WHERE WAS WASHINGTON Bonn This was
thought to be a settled question; but difficult
ties appear to arise, if we may regard the wri-
tiers Of the following as serious. Wequote from
the Philadelphia EDening Bulletin:
The Boston Transcript publishes an extract
from letter dated Isleworth, Middlesex, Eng
land, February rs, 1851, and addressed to
Geo. Harvey, esq, Winthrop House, Boston.
Mr.. Field has in his possession an original por-
trait Of Washington's mother, which he wishes
to present to our Government Mr.. Field is
IS years old, and gentleman in every way to
be relied on. He raises the question of WASH
ington's native land, by the following para
graph:
1T happened, when was boy, that being
in the neighborhood of Cookham, Berkshire
with an uncle Of mine, he pointed out pretty
country cottage in which the parents of Gen.
Washington resided, and from which they re-
moved to America. Our road led to green or
common, where there resided Mrs. Ann Mo-
rer, whose maiden name was, believe, Taylor
who there showed me the portrait of Mrs. Wash
ington and other reliques Of the family, given
to her when they quilted the place for America,
to which country her aunt and mother, she told
me, took their son George Washington in her
arms believe use her own expression"

TO THE PUBLIC.
The tracts embraced in the above proclamation
of the President comprise all the residue of the
lead mines yet to be brought into market south
of the Wisconsin river. They cover those mines
particularly the portion situated in Ilinos) work
ed under former leases from the Government which
had not expired at the date of the sale of the ada
cent mines, and therefore possess the advantage of
being prepared for immediate operations, without
incurring the increased expenses incidental to
opening new mines, and most of them are believed
to be very productive. They are all more or less
conveniently situated in reference to the navigable
rivers and other cheap means of transportation of
their products to st. Louis, and in the midst of
a country yielding abundantly all the agricultural
products of the latitude in which they are located.
