A MARTYR OR LIONESS.

The Norfolk Argus publishes the judg
nent of Judge Baker in the case of Mrs
Douglass, who was imprisoned under tn,
act forbidding the teaching of slaves OF
free colored persons to read and write
The Argus remarks:
The jury found a verdict of guilty.
and the law had to be sustained. SYM.
pathy was aroused for Mrs. Douglass. II
was revolving to the citizens to have a
woman imprisoned in our Jail, and every
inducement was offered Mrs. Douglass to
escape the punishment. The court was
Obliged to adjourn its judgment over, and
although a caplas was awarded, vet it
vas the hope and wish of every one that
she would leave the city. But no, j." a
martyr" she would be to the cause of be-
nevolence and to cap the climax, she
brought her daughter, a maiden of some
SeTenteen summers, who had obeyed them
functions OF her mother as child should,
10 try the stern realities of the law, and,
TO use her own language in defending her
cause, " 10 glory in works of benevolence
and charity to race down-trodden. ~
Then sympathy departed, and in the
breast OF every one rose righteous in
dignatiOn towards person who would
throw contempt in the face Of our laws
and brave the Imprisonment for the
"a-t-v of humanity - 800
The Argus also states that Mrs. Doug
lass imprisonment will be pecuniary
reward to her and as her term expires
this week, hopes she will depart. There
IS little need of this expression. She will
90 North and be lioness at all events
That IS the probable inference. sf.

ALEXANDRIA, February 20, 1854


Celebration of the Aunirersary-Arlase-
neHts-iSuotc-Rnnior.
The celebration of the I'D in Alexandria,
passed on very pleasantly. Morning, noon,
and evening. the guns Of the Mechanical Ar
tillery doomed their rejoicing SALUTE. The
snow lay too deep for the contemplated pa
rade, but the Sun fire company, in their hand
some new equipments, drew Their suction to
the front of the Lyceum Hall where the mil
itary and a large number of citizens had as
sembled After prayer by the Rev j. w,
Danforth, and reading the Farewell Address,
the orator of the day, George l.. Gordon, Esq,
rose and delivered a stirring Grafton, frequent
ly interrupted by the plaudits of the assembly
Responding to calls from the audience, the
old man eloquent of Arlington, G. w. P. Gusts,
ESQ, gave series of "reminiscences OF the times
that tried men souls, and feryent exh 1rtation
that AIexandria should never let the I'D pass
unnoticed The assembly were then dismissed
with the benediction.
At night, Sarepta Hall was crowded to Its
utmost capacity, at the ball Of the Mechanical
Artillery, and the festivities were prolonged
until almost daylight.
Tonight, the Hutchinson Family propose 9
concert at Liberty Hall, and am sure they
will be warmly received.
The third and last lecture of Prof. Johns
| will be delivered at the Lyceum; whilst the
| re-opening of the Ladies' Festival for the ben.
eft Of Home Missions will be no small item
among the amusements.
The deep drifts of snow melted rapidly ir
the warm sunlight of the last two days, but the
chill Northwestern of this morning seems to de-
lay a speedy removal of its distractions.
Rumor says that the bill repeating the char
ter of the Bankrof Old Dominion, has passed
both branches Of the legislature. AMI.

BALTIMORE CORRESPONDENCE.
BALTINoRE Feb 22-l0

BALTIMORE, Feb. 22-10 N.
There was a general disposition here to OBJ
serve this day in honor Of him whose birth it
is the anniversary. Our military were prepared
to parade, and make an imposing demonstra-
ton, but the inclement weather and bad CON-
dition of the streets prevented it.
The Senior Assembly comes off to- night, and
is very fully attended Beauty and fashion
are there in full array. The hall is superbly
decorated, and the whole scene presented is
one of magnifcence. Volandts Band dis
courses most eloquent music. All the enter
tainments are on a scale of fascinating luxury.
Washington city is we'll represented with fc-
male loveliness and honorable dignitaries l
may have some account to take of this ftte
hereafter Those sweetly- smiling and modest
ly-blushing aamsels, who float sylph-like
through the may dance, defy the power of de-
scription. When find my patent pen, pluck
ed from the wing Of q turtle-doye, L may at
tempt to give you some poetic sketches Of these
angelic creatures.
l learn that Governor Ligon has sent in his
appointments, whose names will probably be
in the morning papers. The diSappotntmeats
are left for future consideration. Among the
fortunate Is one printer, a compositor in the
Sun office. He was formerly editor of DEM
o.ratic paper in Baltimore county. He gets
the office Of guager or inspector of liquors.
The Governor has shown his knowledge Of hu-
man nature. There are few better calculated
to test the merits of brandy, -vhiskey, GIN DC,
than printers. They decide practically.
The snow in our streets is fast disappearing.
or being transformed into slush and mud.
Sleighs have been out, but the feather edge is
worn of that amusement. All the northern,
southern and western mails, as late as due,
come through this evening, and communica-
ton is now fairly open again.
Our city has been quite dull for some days,
so far as business was concerned, owing to the
| suspension Of postal arrangements by the
storm. There were apprehensions Of marine
disasters on the coast, but thus far none have
been reported
Our papers, especially the Sun and Patriot
are out in loud complaint against the manage
mcut of the mails, or rather their irregularity
failures, DC. 1t is lot to be wondered that
newspapers should speak feclingly upon this
subject. There is no business or profession
which suffers more seriously by mismanage-
nent of the post office department than pub
fishers. Their very existence depends upon it.
The reader too, is party incident to similar
annoyances. Accidents will happen, but when
they occur out Of reason, it must be the result
of scre,vs loose. 1 feel confident that the Post
master General will make his best endeayors
to overcome this annoyance.
There is a screw loose in the distributing
and serving Of the Washington Star in this
city, by the carriers having it in charge whic h
causes much complaint The more people
complain and feel this Disappointment, the
better evidence is it of the interesting charac-
ter of your paper, but don't repeat too often

ANNAPOLIS CORRESPONDENCE,

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, Feb. 20, 1854
This is the most winter-like day yet sine
early morn snow has been falling in torrents,
and is now nearly foot and half deep
In the House of Delegates, to-day, great in
dustry was exhibited; concluding from the
number of petitions presented. Some two
dozen House bills were received from the Sem
ate, some of which are the following: A bill
for the relief of the poor of Kent county; bill
to provide for transcribing the record in the
Register of Wills Office of Montgomery county;
to regulate the sale of guano, and to abolish
select committee, reported favorably upon the
Senate bill, defining that evidence shall be
sufficient for conviction in cases of rape. The
House concurred in the resolutions of the Sen
ate, on the 18th. requesting the Maryland
Representatives in Congress to use their eXer
lions in securing law, extending the benefits
of the Military Land Law to the soldiers of
1872; and also in q resolution Of thanks to
Captain Creighton and 9th ers for gallant con-
duct. A number of local bills were read a
second time in the Senate and House In the
former branch the Hon. Jno. H. Sothoron pre-.
sides temporarily, vice Hon. G. L. Gather.
necessarily absent.
The Prohibitory bill (which passed in the
House on Saturday. will probably be acted
upon in the Senate on Tuesday or Wednesday
The other day, n communication published
in the Baltimore Clipper met our eye, to which
we respectfully beg leave to dissent. Its author
complains that army officers are placed over
public works, and instances the Capitol extern
sion, and District Columbia Water-works
Now, West Point graduates, owing to the rigid
discipline exercised thereat, have acquired
habits Of energy, honesty, &c which enables
them to superintend such affairs to the general
satisfaction of Government Again, the author
denounced the Institution in bitter terms,
terming it a " hot-bed of aristocracy.' We
think this totally erroneous; for there all ranks
in life share alike, and the annual appoint.
ments thereto are made with an eye solely to
proficiency and merit.
The semi-annual examination of the mid
shipmen of the Naval Academy, closed on
Thursday last. We are proud to state that the
young men, generally, passed with great credit
both to themselves and to the Institution. The
naval and military academy should ever be
