the foundation for the future construction
ofthe work, the great labor being ahead
not accomplished. Our citizens should
bear in mind that every dollar invested in
this road is destined to pay them heavy
interest in increasing business of every
description in Washington. The revenue
of our city is drawn, not from commerce.
but from the expenditures of the Govern
ment and strangers amongus: so, all posi-.
bic means should be taken to draw those
here who have the means and inclination
to spend literally. What is more likely
greatly to facilitate andincrease the visits
of such persons 10 this point, than the
construction of the Metropolitan Railroad !.
We are all interested in it (; so, all should
unite in the work of pushing it to a speedy
completion. There must be no tagging,
unless we are willing to loose the heavy
sums already ventured upon this under
taking.
We learn, incidentally, that the stock
holders are to be called together on the
2Sth instant, to elect officers and other
wise to commence operations.

We have reason to believe that his nat

and that more than once he has recently
said as sharp things of Burke as Burke
ever said of him-things which cut

ever, to cut long story short, if he would
escape such assaults altogether, he must

GETTING UP BACK WoRk.-We are
glad to learn that in the Office of the
Third Auditor, the business lately be-
hind-hand in connection with the boun-
ty land cases, re-examined cases, and
pension cases, has at length been brought
up, for the first time, we apprehend, in
many long years. Facts like these prove
the propriety of the rules recently adopted
in that Bureau. However, it is due to
the gentlemen employed therein, as well
as to its courteous Head, to remark that
the mutual good feeling existing between
them has done quite it's share in SO far
correcting the delay of business there.
which has been a source of public COM
plant for years past.

the presence of Members of Congress.

ell, of Va, and Durham of Indiana, with
Senator Brodhead. The fat loaves and
fishes being for the most part distributed,
of course no member comes here to
strengthen his own claims before the
Administrations; yet he who believes that

found in Washington when the thermo-

surely imagine that they wtH at times

the officers attention called to the ordinance
violation by aggrieved citizen, and that he did
nothing than his oath of Office required him to
do in reporting it; the Captain, if we TO judge
from what he says, and we have reason to doubt
him, entertains the highest opinion ofhis Cockade"
acquaintance, having been stationed among
them for three months, during which time he be-
came the bountiful recipient of their hospitality and
kindness. He could therefore, entertain other
than the most exalted opinion of his ''South sideo
friends and he relies upon the courtesy of the Sex
press'' to set him right before its readers.

es with yellow girl who resides with her named
Georgiena Lozenberry for remaining in the city
trary to law, both of them having King William re-
gsters, and both having been ordered off several
occasions before. Maxield, who is fellow of some
property and of bad character, promised to leave
the State at if the Court would release them,
and ON this promise they were again turned loose,
but with the most positive assurance the part of
the Mayor that if again brought before him they
would be sent to Jail. The law upon this subject,
rigid it appears to be- very deficient and we trust
the next Legislature will amend it to give ma
gstrates the power of compelling these characters to
leave the city when improperly located here.

HEALTH OF New ORLEANs.-The Picayune Of

from yellow fever; but does not think it safe for
absentees to return. The diminution of mortality
IS owing tcontends to the TACT that the very large

either killed of or aeclinated. The Picayune
says:

The LATE CHARLESTON DUEL.-The pub
LEGATIONS that have been made touching the
fatal duel at Charleston, have elected from
friends of young Legare a statement accom-
panied by the entire correspondence between
the parties, together with documents from
the Navy Department to show that Legare
was not dismissed from the service. 1t ap-
pears that he voluntarily resigned his office
of midshipman at the instance of his father
who wanted him near him, and that nothing
appeared on the record to show that he had
acted in any other manner than as an honor
able officer and gentleman while in the Q. S.
service
The correspondence which preceded the
duel was opened by young Legare and pro
pounds the question to Dunoyant, whether
in remark to Mr.. Mcclure, that he lie
gare) "dsank,' he meant that he drank to
excess. or that he occasionally drank like
any other gentleman. Dunoyant refused to
answer this in a seratten communication but
proposed to answer rerbally in personal
interview at the Charleston Hotel Legare
s-deelined the personal interview and insisted
on the written answer, which Dunovant per
sisted in his refusal TO give, saying that he
conceived that the information already given
in previous personal interview embodied
all the information he had to give. Legare
persevered with another letter in which he
withdrew the offensive words of previous
letter in which Dunovant was charged with
"eyading' his interrogatory.
Just then Messrs. William Blanding, Peter
G.. Gaillard and James Simons, as mutual
friends of the parties interposed and pro-
cured the withdrawal Of the correspondence
on both sides with the view of seeing whether
they could not settle the difficulty. The re-
suit of their decision was that while Mr.. Lee
care had no right TO demand the explanation
he sought from Mr.. Dunovant, that in eour.
tesy he had claim upon Mr.. D. for it, and
that upon request from Mr.. Legare in this
character, MIR. Dunoyant should freely state
all that passed between Mr. Mcclure and
himself. 10 this plan of settlement the Sc
conds OF both the principals agreed Mr..
Legare thereupon in a note asked for the ex
PLANTATION in writing. and Dunovant again re-.
fused to gave it in writing, again Offering d
verbal statement to Legare or his second

is not to be wondered at that all and classes
flock to Metropolitan Hall to hear this Band, the
