Letter from Georgetown.

GEoRGETowN, April Is.
Agreeable to my anticipations, the light
of your valuable little Star proved effectual
in breaking up the evil complained of in
one of my former communications, by
bringing down upon the juvenile offenders
several of the police from your city and
ours, who completely routed the belligerents,
after obtaining the names of several of the
ringleadcrs on both sides. These, we are
informed, have been presented to the Grand
Jury, and true bills of Indictment found
against them; and in due time they will be
officially introduced to that terror to evil
doors, Judge Crawford, of the Criminal
Court.
The new law of our Corporation, regu-
lating the licensing of taverns and grog
shops, went into force on the first of the
present month. Its effects are already
beginning to be seen. The provisions of it
being much more stringent than those of
the old law, several establishments have
been compelled to strike their colors and
close doors, not being able to comply with
them. One great good will be accomplished
by it; namely, the closing of these estab-
lishments on the Sabbath Day. Mayor
Addison has assured one and all that the
new law will be rigidy enforced.
The appointment of our worthy fellow
citizen, r. White, Esq, collector of this
port, seems to give satisfaction to the
Wing portion Of our citizens, and caused
considerable rejoicing among his particular
friends in both political parties. This, We
believe, is the third time Mr. w. has been
appointed to this important office. All
agree that he is gentleman of unflinching
honesty and sterling worth.
Mr.. Eben Brown has been appointed
deputy collector. This appointment has
caused quite commotion amongst some of
our Democratic friends, but we think with
out any cause. Mr.. Brown is Democrat,
dyed in the wool, and one Of the noblest
works of God-an honest man.

Union of Patriotic Men.

Our prudent and able contemporary, the
Baltimore Republican and Argus, in an ex-
cellent article on the importance Of the
union Of all patriotic men to preserve and
perpetuate the blessings of our institutions
makes the following excellent remarks:
''The signs of the times do indeed seem
to portend united people rallying with one
heart and one mind, and ready at all points
to uphold the honor of our common flag and
to fling its broad folds to the open winds of
Heaven, as the harbinger of freedom to the
downtrodden of every cline. The halcyon
wings of peace which now overspread the
civilized world, may be speedily lifted up
and take their departure for some far off
land, and grim yisaged war may spread his
bloody pinions over the land, and discord
and violence shake the pillars of distant
empires, and even the thunderbolts of his
wrath be darted at our own fair country.
'No man who knows the smouldering
embers of discomfort, engendered by wrong
and oppression, which, at this moment,
underlay the quiet surface of Europe, can
suppose that these slumbering fires will not
sooner or later break forth. The shock of
this great moral earthquake which must
come, may reach our peaceful shores, and
it is vitality important to our own continued
existence and prosperity-that when that
shock does come, it shall find us standing
firmly together in the bond of a common
brotherhood ready to meet the emergency,
and to triumph amid it's perils. Every
motive then Of self-interest and self preser-
walton, of humanity and patriotism, impels
us to a union among ourselves. Let, then,
the demon Of party discord be driven from
our shores, and let all worship as brethren
around the common altar of our country's
honor, her perpetuated privileges, and her
high and holy interests.

Printers Committee, the persons composing
it are superciliously informed that "when
We the aforesaid proprietors] require any
extraneous aid in the management of our
business we will not fail to let you know
and such contingency will occur, if at all,
when you require the interference of your
neighbors in regulating the affairs of your
household, prescribing the hours for meals,
&C." Now it is known that the household
of compositor on a New York paper is
regulated, and the time for his meals pre-
scribed, not by his ''neighbors," but by
the very class of men who wrote this in
sulting letter. In the grey dawn of morning
the typo may be seen vending his weary
way home, after working all night under
the burning glare of gas lamp; and his
meals are only to be taken when the paper
is IN certain state of forwardness. Yet
for such man to ask for a small advance
per cent on his wages, to meet his own
increased expenditure, and back the requi-
sitlon by passing certain resolutions rem
dered necessary by the circumstances in
which he is placed, is ''impertinence
beg to differ slightly from the opinion
of some editors in the Empire City, that
''the time has arrived when girls should be
employed in the composition department of
printing Offices" l think the time has not
arrived, and never will arrive. If it be
reprehensible to allow workmen but bare
subsistence as the produce of labor, what
should be the punishment of those who
would deny to hundreds of Woodworking,
industrious men the privilege of earning
their bread at trade, to acquire which the
flower of their life has been spent?
Knowing that the EUening Star is devoted
to tAe interests of the industrial portion of
the community, with no exception, 1 re-
quest the insertion of the above. ARGUS.

For the Evening Start
The New York Printers.

In the Baltimore Sun this morning ap-
peared an article headed "The New York
Press and the Compositors," in which that
paper palpably sides with the employing
printers. l am sorry to perceive that the
proud motto of the Sun, "Light for aH,' is
becoming a mockery; as on every occasion
in which it's own interest is concerned, the
''cloven foot" peeps out. At the same time
it is loudly Wanted as the "advocate of
the interests of mechanics generally" The
eight from the great luminary shines but
dimly at present on the New York COM
positors.
The Printer, of all operatives, is the most
grudgingy rewarded for his labors, which
are not only manual, but mental. He often,
by the enervating nature of his work, sows
the seeds of consumption, and many other
diseases; while the statistics of large
city show that long life is rarely granted
to this master of 1.-the art preservative of
all arts The late movement on the part
of the members of this body in New York,
increasing the scale Of prices, and enacting
laws by which they considered all would be
enabled to obtain them, appears to have
been the signal for many newspapers to
thunder denunciations against "sowing
discomfort" "intimidating proprietors, and
so forth, as appears from the extracts
-. ~
manly endeavor is classed as ga piece of
impertinence' by the same journals, that
not long since advocated the 'sstrikes' of
every other trade.

prietors of the Journal Of Commerce to the

gone" he muttered. "Protection ?'
And thus they passed along, and turning
into bye street, they came near their
home, which was composed of single room,
up four pair of stairs, in four story edifce.
At the street door they were met by young
woman, plainly, meagerly clad, but with a
finely rounded form, and a countenance,
not only rich in loneliness, but in all the
goodness of womanly affection. 1t was the
artists wife.
ooh, John, have been so anxious about
you," she said, and took him by the arm,
and while Nelly held the other, she gently
led him through the doorway and up the
dark stairs.
"Why will you go out when it is so cold?"
81 want air, Annie, air" he returned, in
q hollow voice-''and will die on my feet. -
The wife and sister helped the dying ar
fist gently up stairs-gently, slowly, step
by step, and led him, at last, over the
threshold, into that room, which was their
home.
About an hour afterwards, John was
seated in chair in the centre of that room,
whose poverty was concealed as much as
might be, by the careful exertions of his
wife and sister. In the chair, his death
like face, looking CHASTITY in the candle light :;
his wife, woman of blonde countenance
blue eyes and chestnut hair, on one side :;
his sister, with her dark hair and clear deep
eyes, on the other-each holding hand of
the husband and brother. A boy of four
years sat on stool, lookingup quietly with
his big eyes, into his fathers face; and near
little girl of three years, who took her
brother by the hand, and also looked in the
face of the dying artist. Very beautiful
children, plainly clad, it is true, but beauti-
full; the girl, with light hair and blue eyes,
rejecting the mother; while the boy, dark
haired and dark eyed, was the image of the
father.
The table spread with the remains of the
scanty meal, stood near the CRATE was
filed with lighted Goals; bed, with
carefully patched coverlet, stood in one
corner; between the two windows Was placed
an old fashioned bureau; and two pictures
adorned the neatly white-washed wall
Such was the picture, and such the artists
home. To be Concluded in our next.

ADvERr1s1NG.-The following is an Illus
tration Of the pennywise and pound foolish
policy which some people adopt: A man in
Connecticut recently had farm for sale,
and was advised to advertise it, he said he
couldn't afford it; ;" the farm was sold for
$1,000. The purchaser bought it con
speculation" paid So for advertising, and
shortly afterwards sold the same farm for
$4,000.
The above farmer was first cousin to
gentleman in Washington, who thought he
didn't gain anything by advertising, until
he walked up one fine morning to find that
Virginia trader had moved in next door
to him, subscribed for the Star, advertised
his goods freely, and gained all his best
customers
