volunteered to aid Mr.. Fenno on this &C.
caSion, when he will appear as "Jerry

which he will give limitations of the lead

has been subject to accidents, which happening
to naval steamers would have been sufficient
to raise the cry of :. failure" And who ever
heard any person say the Collins steamers
were failures On the contrary, they are
often pointed out as models for our naval
steamers.
[ do not wish to be understood as saying
any thing disparaging to Collins steamers. for
rs said above, believe them to be the best
and most efficient line of sea steamers running
and as all weak points of their machinery have
been found and repaired. they are safer now
than when first started. l merely wish to
show, that while it takes but small accident
to chriSten naval steamer a failure; merchant
steamers ran smash up in silence.
Merchant steamers can have the most favor
able arrangement for their machinery; while
for naval steamers as much possible is re-
quired below water line out of the range of
suot And no doubt many who would point
out merchant steamers models for war
steamers, would, on a visit to one built in that
manner, pronounce her a failure.

TEE EUMESTEAU BILL.
Should the Homestead bill, which has passed
the House, and is made the order of the day
in the Senate for Monday next, be enacted
into law it will be the best event for Europe
and the worst for the United States, that has
taken place since their Independence. The
great cause of the comparative absence of dis
tress and poverty in this country is the outlet
which Government land opens to Gro, cfed trades
and professions of all kinds. If a mechanic
or artisan finds it difficult TO support his
family in consequence Of the competition he
has to contend with, he goes out West TO a new
country-frequently betters his own condition,
and aiways relieves those whom he leaves be-
hind from the effects of crowded competition.
If the public domain be thrown open to
foreigners who reside here just long enough
to be entitled to vote, but not long enough to
speak our language or understand or appre-
ciate our institutions, it will be placing Euro
pean adversely and American Prosperity exact
ly upon level The ontiet will he closed up
by the crowd of foreigners who can find the
means to cross the Atlantic, and injustice will
be dene to old American settlers tcho paQ thetr
money for the land they occupy. NJ.

ADyERTTsTNG.

Any citizen of Washington, George
town, or Alexandra, with eyes in his
head, must see and comprehend that the
Evening Star has circulation in the Dis.
trict of Columbia and Alexandria quite
equal to the combined circulation of all
the othernewspapers, daily, semi-weekly,
and weekly, published in the three cities.
And further, that this great circulation of
the Star is confined to no one. two, or
three classes, or divisions of the people:
going, as it does, into the families of all
who can read. Thus while the President,
his cabinet, the foreign ministers, and
their secretaries, and attaches, nearly
every member of Congress, and nearly
every merchant and professional man in
the three cities take the Star, it was sub
scrloed for IN every one of the eight hum
bic dwellings on 9th street, near 8th,
burned down month or so ago. Our
most numerous class of subscribers in
Washington and its vicinity, are working
men and women in all employments, as
may be seen by the observer in either of
the three cities Oh an afternoons stroll.
Now, the result ofall this is, that an ad-
vertisement in the Star is really of great
value to those desiring to have all classes
of persons see it. 1t is not TO be doubted
that there are ten readers of every adver-
tisenlent in the Star in Washington.
Georgetown, Alexandria, and Baltimore,
for every one in those cities who reads
the advertisements in any other Wash
ingten, Georgetown, or Alexandria paper.
This IS made doubly certain by the
fact that the Star is much more closely
read by its readers generally, than any
other of the three cities newspapers, its
editorial news and miscellaneous columns
being devoted to emphatically readable
matter. That is, to just such reading
as every body is anxious to peruse. We
ask all advertisers to reflect for an in
slant upon the much greater eagcrness
displayed by the members, each of his
own family or household, to get hold Of
the Star daily, than is manifested to read
any other Washington, Georgetown or
Alexandria paper, that he may realize
truly how far superior to any other jour
nal published in this immediate region,
the Star really is, as an advertising me-
dunn. These facts should be recollect-
cd by all who desire to push business of
any description whatever, or to make
known any thing whatever to the public,
of this section of country more espe-
cially.
We are proud of the success .of the
Star, and have right to exult in it. Our
industry, energy, and determination TO
make it absolutely necessary to all in
In this Section of country who can read,
have made it already the most successful
newspaper enterprise ever attempted in
the United States. That is, when the
time it has existed is taken into consid-
Grafton. We are go-ahead folks around
the Star Office, and make it rule to leave
no legitimate effort untried to render our
journal the sading absolute necessity for
the comfort of all who take an interest
in what may be going on in Washington
or its vicinity,
