THE POWER OF MUSIC.

The editor Of the Camden rs. C.) Journal has
been marvellously delighted with the singing Of
Madame Anna Bishop, and concludes some re-
marks by saying: "We could not help repeat
ing to ourselves the idea of Quaint old Izaak
Walton '-'If God has given us such music on
earth, what has he reserved for us in heaven F"
We confess that it is our misfortune not to be
susceptible to such ecstatic influences. We saw
and heard Madame d. not long since; and,
while we are perfectly willing she shall go to
heaven, and while we would be very glad to
see both her and the Journal editor there, and
even old Mr.. Bochsa HIMSELF we must be par
doned for saying that we should decidedly object
to that grand piano the latter parsonage so de-
lights in as well as the shrieks, and starts, and
peculiar costumes Of the lady.

DRY-MEASURES.

TO the Editors Of the American Telegraph.
GENTLEMEN: Upwards of year ago the
Councils passed an act, to take effect from and
after the 1st of July, 1850, making it unlawful
for vendors to use any other dry-measures than
such as are made in conformity with those
adopted by the General Government, under fines
and penalties So far as my observation has
gone, however, l have seen no change in the
measures used for some years past, but find the
old narrow mouthed pecks and half-pecks as
numerous as ever, and by the use of which the
buyers are considerably, think, cheated
Can you inform US why the law is not exc
cuted? Probably the Mayor and the police
have forgotten all about it. If so, then take
this method of calling their attention. to the
subject. d.

A good friend Of ours to-day told US On an
ecdote that is perhaps worth repeating. When
VIC commenced our paper he asked Quaker
friend of his to subscribe for it, saying "You
can stop it at the end Of q week" Yesterday
the old friend met him with u smile, and said
"Did thee not say / could stop taking the Tele
graph at the end of week ?" Certainly,
said our friend "Then it was an untrutl
thee told, for ! could not, nor can stop taking
it at any time know of-not at least while j
continues to be such paper as it is"
We of course felt the rosy blush tinglinl
upon our cheeks when our friend related thi'
dialogue to us.

MASTERS AND SLAVES.

We have often, both in this District and in
the adjacent counties of Maryland and Virginia,
seen with admiration the kind and liberal spirit
Of slaye-owners and others, as exhibited toward
persons of color desiring to obtain their free.
dom; and we have also seen such manifesto
tons of gratitude on the part of the slave and
his kindred and friends, as have excited in us
an elevated regard for the feelings of his nature
These are sentiments that should be cultivated
for, whether they are to dwell together in their
present relation, or to part from each other, the
welfare of both master and slave can best be
promoted by the preservation Of good feelings
toward each other.
We have been requested to alludc to this
subject by gentleman who informs us that he
lately purchased a negro woman at auction,
where the competition of the slave-dealer had,
no doubt, to be encountered,) and that on
learning that it was the desire of her friends to
purchase her freedom, he offered every possible
facility to enable them to do so, and was even
willing to pay her wages for the time she should
serve him. Yet, he states, Notwithstanding
these acts of kindness, she has fed from him
and he is given to understand, by her friends,
that she will not return to him except upon his
giving certain written pledges.
We know nothing, of our own observing, OF
this case, but do not-doubt the representations
that have been made, and would therefore adj
monish all persons concerned in the affair that
they are thus creating between slaves and their
owners barrier of distrust, that viii no doubt
prevent many an act of mercy that might but
for it be freely rendered; and We cannot but
think that they who counsel such conduct are
very far from being good advisers, or honest
and upright men. There is at this time an ex-
citabe and even irritable condition of the public
mind on this subject, and it is not well for the
people of color or those who profess friendship
for them, to excite asperity Of feeling by the
forfeiture of good faith in their dealings
For our own part, We have never been able
to comprehend how any man, who hopes to be
protected in his person, his reputation, or his
property, can deliberately violate or evade laws
no matter what he may think of them, that arr
established with an authority not less poten
tial than are those on which depend the pro
lection and immunitics he enjoys.

CITY WATCH-HOUSE

Two strange gentlemen, whose names we
could not learn, were this morning, by order OF
Squire Goddard, taken to Jail by officers Burr
and Dewdney. They had been brought in
drunk, in the course of the night, and one of
them would have died, for certain, if the mer-
ciful Waterman had not found him.
Messrs. Williams and Smith, who are gentle
men of color, and professional wood-sawyers,
got into difficulty this morning, and Mr.. Will
liams hit Mr.. Smith on the head; whereupon,
Squire Dom sent him to Jail, and officer Mar
tin conducted him thither after watch-hours.

"BUNCOMBISM.


In looking over the proceedings Of the Board
Of Common Council Of last Monday, as pub
lished in the National bateAigeaeer of yester-
day, my attention was arrested by the fol-
lowing somewhat singular resolution, intro
duced by Mr.. CALLAN, representative from
the Second Ward;
~ Mr. Callan submitted the following joint
resolution, which was read and adopted:
"ReSoloed, That the Mayor be and he is
hereby requested to cause meetings of the Board
of Control Of the Washington Canal to be held
once every week"
On reading the resolution, my first thought
was that the honorable member from the Sec
ond Ward (who is member also of the Board
of Control, and who enjoys large reputation
for his assiduity in the cause of the "dear
people was somewhat fretted at the supposed
tardy movements of the other members Of the
Board, and that the honorable member was
adopting this mode to wake them up. Feeling
a little curious on the subject, was induced to
make some inquiry into the matter, for l did
not know but something astounding was pend
ing over this hitherto unfortunate work, when
| understood that no less than two meetings of
the Board were held last week, at neither Of
which was the honorable member from the Sec
ond Ward present, as the following extract
| from the minutes Of the Board will show:
"ApRn 3, 851-Board of Control met at

HEALTHFULNEss OF WASHINGTON CITY.

Is it not strange that our national capital is
so imperfectly known to Americansf A gen
tleman of much intelligence, apparently, said to
us not long since, 81 like Washington very well
on some accounts but il is such an unhealthy
place" "Indeed I" said we "Where did you
make that discovery? - have always heard
it spoken of" he replied, "as very unhealthy
place; and know that many of our people die
here of acute internal affections"
Now, here is the whole secret, and it is no
great secret to some of us: Men who have been
brought up in the plainest way, on the plainest
diet, and accustomed to severe exercise in the
open air, come to Washington and enter at once
upon course of high living and sedentary
habits, and get sick of course, and de- and
their friends conclude at once that Washing
ton, of all the places in the world, is the most
unhealthy
The only correct way that we know of to de-
termine q matter of this kind, is to look at the
statistics of mortality and what do they show ?
That, out of population of about forty thou
sand, with the constant presence of many stran-
gers from all portions of the globe, the deaths
~ Aiioueii Wv NCluBC OfeT SlAly vi SeNcHly
and, of this number, we might venture to say
that one-third bring their diseases with them
from abroad.
Many very worthy men conduct themselves,
with respect to their mode of living, very diff
terently in Washington from what they do in
their own villages and cities. AT home, with
their families, they who are temperate indus
trious, and model citizens, not unfrequently
fall victims here to their excuses, and die !;
and this, too, gives Washington reputation for
unhealthiness. But the truth is, there are few
healthier places in the whole world 1t is not
subject to the pestilential fevers of the South,
nor to the pulmonary affections of the North,
while it enjoys all the advantages of both.
To the hardy, the industrious, and the enter
prising, Washington offers the inducements of
healthy and agreeable home. It's limits are
extending with wonderful speed; its vacant
lots are fast filling up with workshops and
dwellings; while labor of nearly every kind
commands q fair and certain remuneration. Its
commercial advantages have as yet scarcely
begun to be appreciated while capital has been
almost wholly idle. When our people come
truly to understand the principle of Association,
as applied to Labor and Capital, they will make
rapid strides in the right direction.

WASHINGTON AND ALEXANDRIA BOATS

We have heard several complain of the ar
rangements Of the arrivals and departures of
the steamboats, running between this city and
Alexandria. A large portion of our population
dine at 3 p. m, and those employed in the De-
partments cannot leave before that hour; and
yet those disposed to visit Alexandria in the
afternoon are compelled to leave Washington
in the three o'clock boat and return at four
from Alexandria.
We give place to the foregoing, convinced
that the disposition exists, on the part Of the
