The pleasant evenings bring multitudes of

On the morning Of yesterday, the Presbytery

as, also, in arranging plans for the establish
and another at Shepherdstown, Va. The mem
bers of the Presbytery have the best wishes of
our community.
Among the numerous caterers to the public
taste, no one has succeeded better in giving
universal satisfaction to those who have had
intercourse with him, than the present pro-
prietor Of Yeates's Garden, Mr.. T. H. Rev
nelds. L learn that in few weeks that plea
SAINT resort will be opened for the season by a
soiree of the Young Mems Social Club
and the parties engaged have our warmest
wishes for their success

BALTIMORE, April 25-l0P.M.
The troops who were aboard the Inflated
steamer San Francisco seem doomed to bad
luck The steamer Falcon, which put into
Norfolk en- route for California, had four COM
panies aboard, quite number of whom were
sufferers on the San Francisco. The Falcon
is an old boat Her name has been familiar
In the South for many years, and some have
pronounced her unseaworthy. Our Govern
ment has had some melancholy lessons upon
the subject of the transportation of troops
She is compelled to accept the best offers pro-
posed, and thus the necessity of the case re-
quires that soldiers be removed from one point
to another, as matter Of private speculation
upon the part of gentlemen owning vessels
Neither safety nor convenience can be consult
ed. 1t is full time that the Government guard
against this evil. She should have ships of
her own for such purposes; good, substantial
vessels, and not dependent in cases even OF
emergency upon private enterprise. The lives
of soldiers are precious, and they have q RICH.
to demand ease, comfort, &c, even more SC
than those who migrate by sea or land from
choice. They have no alternative. A supe-
rior power orders, and they must 60, without
regard to safety, convenience or accommoda.
ton. If this system long continues, the ranks
of our Army and Navy both will decrease, and
voluntary enlistments become rare. 1t is q
fact, incontrovertib BILE, that scarcely q govern.
ment in the world, possessing half the power
and wealth that we do, can be named, less de-
fcient in this respect. We want good, sub.
stantial transport ships.
There is very little local or general news
here to-day of much interest, and interesting
gossip is scarce. j shall, therefore, not trouble
you with such items as might probably appear
in our morning papers.

COMMUNICATED.


Messrs. Editors: I see petitions are
being presented to Congress from almost
all parts of the country in favor Of trea-
ties, &C., with foreign nations, to guar
antee religious liberty to American citi-
zens abroad. This is as it should be, and
/ hope Congress will take immediate ac-
ton to effect the object urged in such Pc
titions. But l respectfully suggest to
that honorable body that they first take
some action which will assure to that
portion of our citizens, who profess the
Jewish religion, the political and religious
rights which the Constitution of the
United States guarantees to all citizens.
Then we can, with better grace, demand
of foreign nations that they shall not at
tempt to prevent American citizens from
worshipping God according to the die
tates of their own conscience. Query
VIII Congress demand of other nations
fall liberty for the Mormons, and allow
then, lin England, for instance, as many
wives as they see proper to monopolize I?

There is spot of earth supremacy bles;,

While IN his softened look benisnIy blend

Strews with fresh flowers the narrow way Of life I;
In the clear heaven of her delightful eye,
And angel guard Of loves and graces life
Around her knees domestic duties meet
And hfesIde pleasures ganboI at her feet.
