MkssRs EprToRs 1t ia universally admitted that
there is nothing conducive to the health of a
community as pure water, for household purposes,
bathing, &c; and an abundant supply in every
city ia u desderatum, not for convenience and
luxury alone, but for safsty. The past history OF
our metropolis records terrible devastatious by
fire, which destroyed most of our public archives,
numerous specimens of science and the arts and
occasioned besides, heavy losses in the destruc
ton Of our Government buildings. A peti
ton is now before Congress, signed by several
thousands of our citizens, and laid before the
Committee on the District, who yet have not
acted upon it. A charter is prayed for, and the
company pledge themselves, If they are allowed
by law TO organize, TO furnish the inhabitants
with water from the Potomac, with n propcllipC
force that will drive il to at least toenty feet higher
than The dome Of The Capitol! To say nothing Of the
advantages which will accrue to the citizens gcner
ally from cheap and incxhaustble supply of this
necessary element, it will tend greatly 10 the bene
fit of our city, by ornamental fountains i'll our
public places, and by the protection afords to
public and private propcrty-making IT next to
impossible that an extensive confas ration could
ever again take place amongst us. it Is hoped,
thcr, FORE that our citizens and soourncrs who are
more or less deeply interested in the subject, Will
urge upon their friends in Congress speedy action
in the prcmisce, and that the committee having the
matter in charge will at once make report, SO
that, il possible, (and easily possible lbcheve 1t s)
a charter may be granted at this St ssion, and the
work will be forthwith onergetcally commenced.

"AuNr PHLLIs's CABIN, or Southern Life as it u.s."
by Mrs.. May II. EASTMAN. Philadelpha: LIP
PINCuTr, GRAMBo & Co. Washington: TAYLOR
s. MAURY and FRANcK TAYLOR.
This work is a Roland for an Oliver. 1t meets
boldly, and upon its own chosen ground, the story
entitled "Uncle Toms Cabin" which pre-
pared for and published in u newspaper avowedly
devoted to the anti slavery causc-a story written
to suit the morbid tastes of extremi. s in thinking
the most exciting and dangerous OF topics, ru-
ther than honestly to present picture OF things as
they really exist.
So long as the tale was confined to the columns
of the paper in which first appeal ed, little mis-
chief was could be done by II; but when it took
the more imposing form OF book, and, periorcc of
its extravaganza and injustice, was circulated by
tens OF Thousands amidst communities whose pre-
iudiccs were already but too violently excited it
could not fail to be of most injurious tendency
Mrs STowE's story is, in fact, IA piece Of patch
work. The best that can be said for the book in
point of truthfiilness is. that she seems to have
culled from the criminal records Of the southern
half of the Union, for an ind, finite period of time,
an array of rawhead and bloody bone recitals--
true enough individually, perhaps which she has
ngeniously strung upon the thread OF very strain
ed fiction, the life and character of Uncle Tom; a
being who, as Mrs. EASTMAN shows, with great
truth and point has few none of the features of
consistency reality. This Uncle Tom pattern
of more than Christian perfection, and indeed Of
more than Apostolic devotion and potency in spir
itual things, is a coored man. He is contracted
with Legree, assumed specimen OF southern
planter no ia made to be villain of the IN at
redeemable type-a monster OF all the horrors com.
bined. Upon this plan of Mrs. Stoves, were it
ustiiable the histories of nations, states or cities
might be written from their Newgate calendars
and police doc kets and the lives of individuals from
their failings, traiities and weaknesses alone
t The book before us, written by an esmabie lady
resident in Washington, needs not to fear a com
parison with Mo. Stoves tale on any ground.
Certain it is il has Of the true air of Scrptu
raj feeling about 1t, though it may be less reorma
tistic and transct ndcntal.
