mr.. webster,s Departure.

Mr.. Webster left this city yesterday afternoon
for his home in New Hampshire, where he expects
to remain for two months or longer. A gentle
man who conversed with Mr.. w. before his de-
parture, assures US that he has wholly withdrawn
his attention from the political incidents of the
day, and that he is altogether indifferent to the
subject. Mr.. Webster is accompanied on his pre-
sent journey by our esteemed young friend, Mr.
Pratt, of the State Department, his usual COM
pagnon de Ooyage and secretary, Mr.. Lanman, be-
ing detained in this city by engagements of a
private nature Mr.. Webster has our hearty good
wishes for an escape from his usual autumnal ca
tarrh, and from any other indisposition, either
physical or political, that may possibly afiict
him. He has yet to complete q long and bright
passage in the history of the century in which
he lives. May its termination be as honorable to
himself as it's course has been useful profitable,
and honorable to his country.

your city; William B. Edwards, of Alexandria,
and Mr.. Bryson and Mr.. Lemon, of Georgetown.
We have conversed with number of farmers

age to the corn crops.
Some $4,000 to $4,000 of the stock OF the
Corporation of Georgetown have been sold during

One of the leading citizens Of Washington
county, Maryland, and who has every opportu-

know of a single Wing in the county who does
not give his hearty support to Scott and Ora
ham, and that he also knows quite number Of
Democrats who are doing the same. He says
further, that the greatest enthusiasm prevails
among the party, and that the Wings of that
section were never more sanguine of carrying
the State of Maryland than they are at the
present time.

the night at the residence of his friend, Hon
JAS. G. King, at Highwood, North Hoboken; and
early on Wednesday morning proceeded up the

"STEALIYG THUNDER."-The late Democratic
State Convention of Michigan gravely adopted
resolutions acknowledging the liberal and judi
cious course Of the Democrats in Congress in fa-
vor of harbor appropriations and condemning
the course of Wing members of Congress against
such appropriations. This is o very cool appro-
priation of Wing thunder, and shows what folly
it is to believe in political platforms.

Hes- Under the local head of this paper, few
days ago, was published brief paragraph in re-
lation to, a controversy had before Justice of
the Peace between Francis Dodge, esq, and the
Cheyalier Spencer. Regarding the affair as OF
minor Importance, and regretting that it had
found its way into public notice, we determined
to treat it altogether as Jagqtelte, and to make
but faint allusion to it. We learn, however, that
in doing SO we have unconsciously wounded the
feelings Of some of the friends of Mr. Dodge.
We regret this There is no gentleman for whom
we entertain higher degree Of respect, as there
is none who, in our opinion, is farther removed
from the possibility of performing an unworthy
or ungentlemanly act
RS9s" The want of House of Correction, or.
place where small children may be sent, instead
of to the Jail, is felt more and more sensibly
every day. Complaints are frequently made to
the officers against small boys, who go about pill
fering from stores and dwellings whatever they
are able to carry of, and whose tender age, when
they are arrested, saves them from being sent to
Jail, to be placed under the tuition Of older and
more daring thieves. The evil is growing one,
for tho sin is contagious, and one bad child may
ruin dozen. Give us place where they may
be kept to themselves, and taught to be moral
and useful.
