SERGEANT O'NE1LL.-We understand that
Sergeant O'Neill is about to leave the White
House. We are sorry for this, for his acute
ness and discrimination have saved the Pres
ident many hours pain. We hope that
health and prosperity will accompany the
Sergeant to his home.-N. y Herald, 29th
uH.
We unite with the Herald in its expressions
of regret at the anticipated withdrawal of
Sergeant O'Neill from the Executive Man
sion. His position there is one of great re-
sponsibility and delicacy, and We hope he
will be persuaded by sense of duty to re-
main. He was the personal companion of
General Pierce in Mexico, during the late
campaign. On more than one occasion he
rendered signal service to his distinguished
chief. 1t is believed that once or twice be
was instrumental in saving his life.
We hope by all means that the Sergeant
will remain in Washington.

POLITICAL ARTICLES.
More anon.

Our attention has been called to the
sketch of Hon. Attorney General Cushing,
that appeared in the Star of last Thursday,
in which the word 'Federalist :" is used in
what is considered an Objectionable sense
by some of our patrons. For the informa-
ton of our friends We would state that the
article was condensed from one of our ex-
changes; and supposing, from the manner
of its commencement, that it was the same
article the writer of this prepared for New
Orleans paper, We copied it without oar
usual reading.
We wish it to be understood that the Sta,
is strictly Independent. 1t will express its
opinions on all public men and measures
faithfully, .tsarlessly. 1t will render equa1
and exact justice to both parties, without
taking sides with either.
Is not that fair?

WATER FOR GEORGETOWN.

The introduction OF pure water into the
District involves the interests and conve-
nience Of our fellow citizens of Georgetown
In our opinion, if the water is to be brought
from western direction, Georgetown
should be supplied equally with Washington
We do not think it would be right to bring
the blessing q water from the heights be-
yond Georgetown to the citizens of the Me-
1ropois, without giving the former city an
equal share with us.
There are many important respects in
which Washington is under peculiar obliga-
lions to Georgetown. Let us acknowledge
he obligation in good spirit, that the two
cities may help one another. That is the
way to get along. Both places ought to
mite to keep this water business out of the
lands of stock jobbers and SPECTATORS 1t

DE kept entirely under the control of the
.'ublic officers elected by the people, or ap-

GEoRGETowS, May 2.
Mr.. EDITOR: 1t gives me great pleasure
to be able to inform you that your sprightly
little Star is daily growing in favor with all
classes of the citizens of our town. Your
excellent selections together with your racy
original articles, and the fearless manner
in which you have hitherto exposed the
acts Of evil doors of every class and charac-
ter, and advocated the rights of the working
classes, not only in the District but else
where, continues daily to win for it the
confidence and well wishes of every correct
reasoning individual in our community.

POST OFFICE REFORM.

We are truly glad to learn that the articles
IN the Evening Star touching the Washington
Post Office continues to attract public atten-
ton. Our only object is to benefit the COM
munity at large.
As it respects the hours of distribution
and delivery, We are aware that there are
difficulties In the way; but We think that
they can be overcome by an increase of active
force.

phia post Office is to be kept open every dav

The President and the District Regimeut

The President and the District Reeiment.
We had the honor of being present this
morning at the reception given in the East
Room of the White House to the officers of
the District Regiment of Volunteer Militia,
by the President of the United States.
The Regiment was drawn up in front of
Executive Mansion, where the President the
came out accompanied by his Cabinet, and
the troops passed in review, with the Gus
tomary salute. The officers then entered
the East Room, where they were received
by the President in a brief but pertinent
address. He expressed himself much pleas
ed at the soldier-ike appearance of the
companies. He regarded it as an omen of
good that such evidences of correct military
discipline existed among the volunteer troops
at the capital of the nation. He had heard
that some things were desired by the Regi-
ment, with regard to the better preservation
of the public property committed to their
charge; and he would assure the gentlemen
in command that every thing that could be
done with propriety would be done to secure
the desired object. He felt quite sure that
in any public improvements of this des-
cription he should meet the cordial Coop
GRAFTON of the Secretary of War. Colonel
Davis, who stood by the side of the Presi-
dent, bowed ready assent.
The address of the President was respon-
ded to by Col. Hickey, commander of the
Regiment He thanked the President, as the
Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy
for his kind illusions to the soldiers of the
District of Columbia. 1t would be their
pride and pleasure to continue their endea-
vors to prove worthy such commentators
from SO high quarter. The illusions to
certain military necessities existing here
were well-timed, and he was thankful to
the President for having made them 1t is
very desirable, he said, that repository
should be provided by the National Govern
ment for the better preservation of the tro-
phies of American arms taken from our
enemies in war. There were other i'm
provements called for by the increasing
claims on the military of the District which
he hoped to be able, at the proper time, to
lay before the Government.
The President and Cabinet then shook
hands with the officers, and all withdrew.
The scene was gratifying one to all
concerned.

who have once had the good pleasure to
enjoy the delights of it's gentle twinklings.
Most, if not every newspaper of similar
character, which has preceded the Star in
the District of Columbia has soon been
brought into bad repute among our people
by the conductors of them admitting into
their columns offensive matter; or by al
lowing them to be made the instruments
through which to carry on religious or po-
litical controversies, or by launching out
upon the broad and dangerous sea of poll
tics, and have ultimately persisted Thus

sued strictly an independent course. And

which your predecessors have been wrecked.

deviatingy the course you have heretofore,
and | doubt not the Evening Star will ere
long become not only the newspaper of the
District, but the principal advertising medi-
UNI of all classes of business men in both

Fearful Accident.-On last Saturday after
noon, while Mr.. Ball, clerk of the court of
Fairfax county, Va, was driving along the
tow-path of the Canal, and when near the
Aqueduct, his horse became frightened and
backed OFF the stone wall, and precipitated
himself, together with Mr.. Ball and the
buggy, down precipice some twenty feet
or more. Mr.. Ball was very much, but not
supposed dangerously, injured; the buggy
was literally smashed to pieces, but strange
to relate, the horse escaped without receiv-
ing the slightest injury. Mr.. B. was taken
to the hotel of Mr.. Nelson, where DIR. J. S.
Lauk was soon in attendance, and rendered
him medical assistance. He is doing as

stances SPECTATOR.
