DEATH OF REV. Mn. RoszsLL.-.4lerandria,
"a, Feb. 20,h.-It is with extreme regret an
nounce to you The death of the Rev Stephen Asbury
Roszell, of Tie Methodist Episcopal Church, sta
toned in this city. He was attacked severely a.
bout week ago with bronchitis, which changed
towards the last to typhoid and he died this morn
ing about two o'clock. at his residence. His spirit
went out with that serenity which ever character
ises the last moments Ola pure Christian. His
latter hours were beautiful evidence OF the com
pee triumph Of Christianity over death, and the
fleeing thoughts of this world, and beautiful ex.
ample to those who would give their hearts 10 Him
who holds life aud death a, his disposal.
Mr.. Ro.zell was well known in Baltimore and
elsewhere as most eloquent divine. For num-
Der of years he was President of Dickinson College
in Carlisle Pennsylvania - Cor. Bait. american.

reasons were given for their military prep

France continued to be much agitated by
the decree of President NAPOLEON Confis

IS PHILIPPE to his children before he ac-
cepted the Crown, and amounts to about
two hundred millions OF francs; but the
transfer is now pronounced illegal, and the

ted the remainder to the operatives. the
priests, and the military members of the
'Legion of Honor" The executors of
LOUIS PHILIPPE have published protest
to the decree, in the London 'Times,' and
owing to the opposition of the French peo-
pie to the measure, it was thought it would
not be executed to the full extent
Another instance has occurred of the
small regard paid by Louis NAPOLEON to
written Constitutions. The new Constitu-
ton of France prescrioes that the number
of Senators shall not exceed one hundred

at eighty yet Louis has appointed seventy

MEETING ON MoNDAY.-In accordance
with the wishes of our Senator and Dele
gates meeting was organized on Monday
last, Capt. L. l.. STEVENSON in the Chair,
for the purpose of eliciting, ifpossible, the
sentiment of the people in reference to the
Districting ofthe County. Owing however,
to the small number present, it was thought
impossible to ascertain the general senti-
ment, and the whole matter was therefore
referred back to the gentlemen asking in
structions, with an expression of full conf
dence in their discretion and sound judg-
ment. In private conversation we heard
various suggestions as to the number OF
Districts. Some thought there should be as
many as eleven, others thought seven q
sufficient number, and others still al gued IN
favor of eight, nine and ten, respectively.
Since the above was written, VIC learn
from the Richmond correspondent of the
Messenger that our representatives have sug-
gested twelve districts for this County, and
have recommended the following gentlemen
as Commissioners Col. VIM. A. Bell, DR..
c. R. Harris, John Crawford, VIM. Beard,
Joshua H. Evans, Nathaniel Massie, Sam

LIFE IN WASHINGTON.
TIE following particulars respec,ing the SOC

Tie following particulars respecting the social
arrangements of official life in Washington are
stated in a letter to the Philadelphia American:
As strangers are often perplexed as TO The social
arrangements OF official life here, information
on the subject may be acceptable to those at dis
lance who expect to visit the capital during The
carnival time. The ladies' of The Presidents house
hold. and these OF the Cabinet, receive calls on
every Tuesday, after twelve o'clock. These Wis
its require no formal lntroduclion since the persons
are usually announced. On every Friday evening,
the Executive mansion is thowa open 10 the public,
&the re unions there during The present winter have
been unusually well attended and brilliant. On
each alternate Monday evening up to the Isl of
March, Inclusive, the house of The Secretary Of the
Navy IS open upon special invitations; so too Of
the Secretary of the Interior. Thursday nights
have been appropriated by the establishment Of the
Postmaster General. No cards have yet been is
sued from Mr.. Webster's for evenings. The Sec
rotary of War is like some others OF us, "willing
to wound, yer afraid To strike )" and therefore his
doors are 5arred-fUr the time being, it is 10 be
hoped-agaRst "Heaven's last, bssl gift" The
Attorney General is comparatively retired for the
winter, under domestic afIlclion, and the presiding
spirit at Mr. Corwin's has been invaldekfor weeks.
The regular dinner parties of the President take
place every Thursday, and are extended through
all the public service,io strangers of distinction,
and, indeed, generally to those who have claim
upon the notice Of society. On. Wednesday nights
of every week there are most agreeable receptions
at the Spanish Embassy, and on Saturday nights
at the Russian Legation. Few of the other mem.
hers of the diplomatic corps have arranged TO en-
terrain regularly, although the French Minister. on
recent occasion, collected one of the most select
companies of the season, by personal request. A
mongst the very delightful parties Of the capital
are The annual assemblies, which have grown frum
year to year in favor and which ,dnrng the presen,
season, have exceeded all E,rmer experience.

o. We desire TO know, from the Spec

Wings TO make party politics test in the
County elections if so the Demcc Gratis know
what course to pursue.-Pindieator, 23d OF
February.
This question has been propounded to els
IN view of communication over the sigma
turc of "Citizen," which appeared in our
last. We volunteered no remark upon the
views Of our correspondent through mo-
,ives of delicacy. The points were these.
The Senior Editor of this paper had receiv-
ed commission as Sheriff of the County of
Augusta till a successor should be qualified;
and intending TO offer for the same Office
under the amended Constitution, any thing
that might be said in our paper upon the
views of our correspondent, no matter on
which side, was liable to the construction
of an electioneering man9uvre. That del
icacy has been removed by the call made
upon us as above. We now declare as in
dependent Editors our dissent IN PrlnClPie
from the views of our correspondent. This
is all we can do, as no party action has ia
ken place s none is expected on the part of
the Wings directly or indirectly. Wewsuld
suggest the propriety Of all candidates for
County Offices promptly announcing them
selves, as the elections will probably come
off in May next. This course will avoid the
imputation upon any, of seeking to creep
into office by sly means or party manage
ment. If the Democrats of the County
think proper to pursue a different course,
from that here indicated, the Wings will
know how to act. A fair field and fair fight
will be approved by all.
