CITY INTELLIGENCE.

programme Is changed nightly This Is one Of the
few companies who wear well. We learn that with
characteristic hberality, they have contributed
mouth sufferers. This is the most appropriate ac-
acknowledgement to the community at large, for the
liberal support they have everywhere received.
LITTLE FALLS BRIDaE--Very few places in the
country afford such variety and beatty of scenery
as this vicinity. On the principle that distance
lends enchantmcnt to the view,n the most roman
tic drives are To great extent discarded for other
and artificial enjoyments. Any one who can sur
vey the beauty Of the landscape, blended with the
wildness Of chaos, without emotion, is wanting in
the better instincts of humanity.
This great thor0ughiare TO Virginia is now open,
(no news) and is literally alive with travel and
trade, and when we consider the length of time
for which il was virtually closed, do not know
which most TO condemn, the supneness of the
commercial and other interests involved, or the
parsimony Of those whom the laws have made our
political guardians.
The District seems to be in the category of that
unfortunate legal character--ysuilias fiius-known
Of nobody and cared for less. This favor, so tar
Oily yielded Is only half finished, as may be said
Of various other works Of public utility. II does
seem, that for body representing "whole hog"
people, Congress- Is rather too much disposed TO do
things by halves
IL may be that our petty divisions have render
ed it rather contemplate in their eyes. II may be
that like beggars, more importunate from success,
we have asked too much. But we are inclined to
think that, like the cartmsn, VIC have been TOO
prone to call on the Hercules of the General Gov
eminent.
When this city first gave its adhesion to the
now general opinion that Americans should rule
America, the Jesuit party paraded the "raw head"
of Congressional retaliation. The times have
changed, and the tttae with them. We shall see
whether the aforesaid party claiming all the
wealth and decnncy, will refuse anything they can
get at the hands of an American Congress.
WALK DE CHALK, GINGER BLUE We under
stand that Jordan--Hary Jordan--is in town for
the purpose, the purpose Of engaging the National
Theatre.
IL this one of the things too good to be true, or
shall we really have this inimable comic actor
and good fellow with us again?
Who does not know Harry? If any, let him
absquat, by Harry! Harry is national institution.
He il And if he doesn't get it, both he and 9th
ers must be lamentaby wanting in the elements
of success.
How PRESCRIPTION WoRKs!-During ranble
in the country, a few days ago, we overhauled our
old friend, John H. Waggaman, who was dismissed
from the Land Office last year for his Whiggery,
now an excellent Recommendation, if coupled with
country's service to the plough, too proud to seek
restoration at sacrifice of his selfrespect, and
now votes for Just whom he pleases. He is the
nephew of ex-President Tyler, to whom would
not like to say how muchhis executioners what
they now enjoy Old mother earth is more true
and kind than her puny children, invested with
"a little brief authority and always rewards
honest industry with generous yield. But the
abstraction of bread from the mouths Of women
and children, if practicable in this country, would
be sorry remedy for political ailments. Xerxes
chastising the Hellespont and the Devil offering to
our Saviour great many things which did not be-
long to him (among them Offices no doubt,) are-ft
illustrations Of the means used to stay the tide of
Americanism.
"ANYTHINa IN NY LINE TO-DAY p"-Sockdoo-
ger intends going round the departments in search
of news. He Is known to be very good looking,
but whether he can "c0me in remains to be
seem If he should be lncky enough to get hold Of
any decisions the public may rest assured that
they shall not be more than seventeen or eighteen
years old /; and what he lacks in modern instan-
ces" will ifpossibie, be made up in {" wise saws"
The various rules and regulations bulls, aud ex-
hortations to official integrity and comfy, such
as exists between the fox and the goose,) would
form an interesting chapter. "All the boys who
cannot swim will get out of the way" when we
come around, for many have lost their heads for
less cause than being seen in American company.
CoysTABuLARY--The watch-house this morning
presented "a beggarly account of empty boxes"
John Barleycorn the apostrophized the canonzcd,
and mathematical, must have been unusually
quiescent f neither his friends his enemies
have anything TO record. As sure an average
number Of inches of rain falls in year. so sure
win an average quantity Of liquor be drunk-the
Temperance Society to the contrary notwthstand-

IIa, FoR CAMP Misunderstanding the "Foun-
dry y last evening" we saw the most extensive
preparations for the Montgomery camp, consisting
of wagons, carts, boxes, bales beds, &c, superin
tended by several well known stagers The babies
and other light ware will probably go on this morn
ing. We wish them nil a refreshing and
complete exemption from the ills that must, to
some extent, intend large and promiscuous assem-
bies.

of native or foreign extraction--is immaterial
