our heart do we pity the only child We
care not how large the fortune that awaits
that only son or daughter, We do not envy
their position When we behold one who
win soon be the sole heir to all parents
wealth. we do not have any euvious feelings
arise within our bosom towards that favored

mother or sister. TO share alike their wealth
and affections They may bo the iiolz,l

GEORGETOWN CORRESPONDENCE.
GEORGETOWN. r,

GEORGETOWN, February %, 1854.
If the rumor which is afoat be the fact, the
bill which has been passed by our City Coun-
ellis to memorabilia Congress for power to in
crease our taxes, is not yet through the woods,
and is doomed to receive some pretty severe
shocks before it does get through From all
we can gather from outdoor talk, we think it
hardly probable that it will receive executive
sanction, standing alone as it does Moreover,
we believe should the Mayor pursue such a
course, I'VE do not say that he wiln that he
will be sustained in it, by large majority of
the voters OF the town. If, however petition
shall be made to Congress tor a new charter,
embracing the before named proposition, but
little resistance would be offered to it, We
feel confident that no thing SHORT Of an entire.
ly new charter, embracing all the powers and
privileges now desired, will satisfy the people.
The water has been let off from the lower
level Of our canal for the purpose of cleaning
out some sand bars, and making some trifing
repairs. On the first of March, if the weather
shall continue favorable, navigation will be
resumed the entire length of the line
Inc neaYy snow storm OF Monday last has
caused nearly an entire suspension of all out
door business. and cut off nearly all commu-
nication with the surrounding country. The
only uninterrupted line of travel we know of
has been the Union line of omnibusses. MIR
Nanderwerken, true to his usual suston de-
termined not to be conquered by difficulties,
hitched on an extra pair of horses to each
coach, forced passage through the snow, and
thus kept up regular communication between
our city and the Capital,
From different causes there has been per-
feet stagnation in the -four and grain market
ever since Saturday. The stock of the former
has not been so light for several years We
learn that sufficient quantity cannot be had
at present prices to load q vessel of 1900 bar
rels burthen, consequently there is none offer
ing for sale except to arrive no grain arriving,
consequently none Offering Owners of each
refuse to sell until the arrival of their northsra
dispatches.
Our people do not appear to be very patriotic
to-day. We hear of no amusements or cele-
brations of any kind going on, except the an
nual meeting of the Philodemc Society at the
Georgetown College
Ii any OF the subscribers to the STAR in
our city failed to get their papers on Monday
they will please to look over the omission; the
severity Of the storm was such as to give the
| carriers great difficulty in getting round al
all. SPECTATOR
