Fl We presume that tomorrow will be observed
in this city, in accordance with established
custom, as day ofyisiting. How this custom
grew up we dq not precisely know, nor ~ We
altogether approve Of lavishing upon New
Year day the honors denied to hoary Christmas.
Between the two days, as days Of feasting and
Of social interchanges, our preference is deci-
dedly for Christmas. There is, however, no
reason why both should not be honored alike.
We never object to holiday or . jubilee.
We would be pleased to see them occur Of
tener, One Of the greatest faults Of the Ameri-
cans is, that in their eager pursuit Of the al
mighty dollar" they do not pause often enough
to recrcate and recruit themselves. Many Of
them think that the greatest sin they can com
NIT is that Of neglecting to turn penny when.
ever they have chance.
Our streets will, no doubt, preent lively
appearance tomorrow. Tables will groan un-
der the burden Of good things, and there, is
much reason to fear that the temperance cause

Navy, il in his judgment not inconsistent with the
naval service, to provide for the conveyance, TO
some convenient part of France, in one OF our ma
tional ships, under such terms and regulations as
he may prescribe, works Of art and the production
of the industry Of the people of this country for
exhibition at the Worlds Fair, in Paris, in 1888.
Mr.. HAMILTON objected; and SO the resolu-
ton was not received.
Mr.. FAULKNER, from the Committee on Mill
iary Affairs reported bill extending the provis-
ions of the act of August IL, lS4S, TO widows and
orphans Of persons dying in the military service OF
the United States. Referred 10 the Committee OF
the Whole on the state of the Union.

adopted, instructng the COMMITTEES on the Post
Office and Post Roads 10 inquire into the expedi-
ENJOY Of establishing an express mail between st.
Louis, Missouri, and San Francisco, California,
for the transmission OF letters, and for increased
rates Of postage on letters carried in said mail and
that they report by bill or otherwise.

The Concert for the Benefit of the Poor,
at the Smithsonian Institution, on Friday night,
afforded delightful entertainment, the choice vo-
cal talent Of Elk of the Protestant Churches con.
trbuting to this result. The frequent. applause OF
the auditory attested their high appreciation Of the
rich musical treat afforded.
The new lecture room is admirably adapted TO
concert purposes every body, no matter how re-
mote from the siege, being enabled to hear the
performances, however soft aud depressed the
sounds, with remarkable distinctness. Even the
lowest whisper floats sweetly to the ear. The
room is wei contrived, and, TO our view, is the
best looking part Of the institution building, which
in other portions, lacks freedom Of space.
Twelve or thirteen hundred tickets were sold
at fly cents a piece, and thirty or more dollar,
received at the door.

IL Sick Headache Remedy.-A remedy for
the sick headache, which has been recenilyofered
to the public is attracting great attention. moi only
by reason of the very satisfactory testimonials 10
its efficacy which have been volunteered by many
who have been benefited by H. but also because
there are 30 great a number of people who are af-
aicted with the distressing complaint, for which
no medicine has before been made public. DIR.
Eastman, who discovered the efficacy Of his s'rem-
edy," is physician in this city, in high standing,
with large practice. He is physician in whom
great confidence is placed; andwe do not wonder
that his remedy for very common disease, which
has been long needed has attractedthe attention
of all sufferers from headache who have heard of it,
From our own knowledge Of DR.. Eastman's char
acter and practice, we have no doubt that the med
cne deserves the favor il receives and that il will
prove TO be great benefit to all who may give il
a trial--Lynn Neps, December %, 1853.

The METROPOLITAN RAILROAD is designed to
extend from the cities Of Washington and George
town to the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, by an
easy and direct route, connecting with the latter
road east of the "Point Of Rocks on the Potomac
river, and making saving Of distance on the first

birds and beasts Of prey hide themselves from
the light Of the sun. ~
Secret political societies are necessarily hos
tile to republican institutions, because repub'
lican principles court investigation, considers
ton, and discussion. Those principles do not
fly to the secret chambers of designing con-
claves. They stand forth in the face Of day
counting question and challenge, because
they can yindicate their claim to the respect
and admiration of the country. No man
seeks darkness unless he is about to COM
NIT some unworthy act; and those who are
inflated by the breath of temporary success,
and have given their weight and influence
to secret cabal, will find to their cost that
they have fallen among men who are the enc
mics of their country, and Of the institutions Of
their country. The honest bank man, and the
enemy of banks--the honest tariff man, and
the enemy of tariffs--the honest distribution
man and the enemy Of distribution--all must
admit that honesty, and openness, and fair dis
cussion are absolutely necessary to the success
Of our federatiye republic, because indispensa-
BILE to the successful practice Of those usages
which are necessary TO sustain it. N.
| Men may talk Of the plans and purposes
Of the secret Organization, and dispute as
to the particular extent of its present de-
sim IN each discussions are Of secondary
importance in our humble Judgment. We care
but little what such society may announce as
its present design. 1t might assure US that
it intended to aid us in the Democratic reforms
which we wish to accomplish. Such an assur-
ance would not alter our relations to such .
perilous association. We would still fear the
Greeks though bearing gifts we would strike
our spear into the wooden horse even if SER
psnts should come to crush u.s. 1t is not the
principles which secret society may profess
that determines our relations toward it. We
regard he fact Of secrecy as the commanding
fact, knowing, as we do, that it embraces, or
;sciN soon embrace, every dangerous principle
and every infamous faction, and must speedily
make war upon all that is noble and manly,
honorable and honest, in the country.

indulge in speculations SO far in advance of the
time.
Great as is this country in territorial extent,
it seems to be our destiny still to expand. Not
only have we the impulse of expansion within
ourselves, but our rapid and healthy growth
seems to have inspired some of our weaker and
more helpless neighbors with the desire to be
incorporated with US. 1t is not unlikely that
the opening year will witness the annexation
Of at least two nationalities to the United
States--the Sandwich Islands and Cuba.
But we must bring this review Of the past
and of the future to close. In doing so, we
take leave to express to our readers our sense
of their kindness to us, and to invoke upon
them and upon our common country the
choicest blessings Of heaven.
During our brief career in the conduct of
the Sentinel, we have labored to do our duty.
1t has been our aim to be honest and indepen.
dent. We have also sought to instruct and to
interest our readers. That we have sometimes
erred, we do not doubt; for no mortal can
claim exemption from error. 1t shall be our
aim in the future, as it has been in the past, to
do our duty without fear, favor, or affection.
