~We publish the following COM
munication from Senator ANDERSON for
the purpose of correcting an error we
were led into, by copying from Gin
cinnati paper:
Senate Chamber, FEB. 81, '54.
JAS. HARPER-DEAR SIR: In the
Journal of the Esd inst, you notice a
bill presented by myself as chairman Of
the committee on the militia, in which
notice you state that can annual county
tax of ten dollars for each man enrolled,
as a militia fund.-" is proposed.
Such is not the fact, yet 1 am salts
fed you did not misrepresent intention
ally. The bill provides that all white
male citizens above the age of IS and
under As years, shall be enrolled, but
none subject to do militia duty except
those who attach themselves to volun-
teer company, and the tax is proposed
only at the rate of ten dollars for every
uniformed volunteer. If there should
be no volunteer company raised in a
county, then there would be no tax in
such county. Please make the correc-
ton and oblige yours,
Respectfully,
LEWIS ANDERSON.

GEORGETOWN CORRESPONDENCE.
GEORGETOWN, February 20, 1856

GEORGETOWN, February 20, 1854.
The store of Messrs. Waters & Shoemaker,
on Water street, was burglariously entered on
Saturday night last, and robbed of a large
number of cents, besides some articles of gro
ceries. What amount was taken has not yet
been fully sscertained. -r 5yt
The Rev. II. Slicer, who was injured some
two weeks ago, by fall in Philadelphia, has
not yet been able to leave his house. We are
pleased to learn, however, that he is fast re-
covering from his wounds.
In our Councils, on last Friday night, the
bill providing for the issuing of notes of IS and
upwards, to an amount not exceeding $40, 600
in lieu of the one s and two's now in circula-
ton, was passed. Also, the bill directing the
Corporation committee before Congress, to
ask for the pow er to levy and annual tax upon
all real and personal property, of 81 so on the
800, instead of 70 cents, the present char;e
limit. Also, the power to lay front foot tax
for the purpose of lighting our streets with gas
bill was taken up, and farther postponed for
future consideration. AS we before stated, We
believe the bill will finally pass, unless the
coming election shall very materially change
the complexion of the two Boards. The bill
for rebuilding the causeway, Is still ON the
rack. and will have to be settled, we presume,
by the new Boards, when elected. The old
ones have only one more meeting, before the
election.
5000 to 1000 pounds Of roll butter, from
wagons, sold this morning. at $50 per 100 lbs
II is confidently expected that those of our
citizens who are prepared for it, will be able
to light up with gas on Tuesday or Wednesday
night, and no mistake.
Prom the beautiful spring like weather of
the last few days, it has suddenly changed to
real old fashioned winter, and at the time We
are writing, the snow is falling thick and fast
