GEORGETOWN CORRESPONDENCE
GRoRaBrowN, Oct. 10, 1856


Every days observation ought to convince
every candid man in our city of the absolute
necessity for the construction of the Mstropol.
itan railroad to the future welfare of this Dis
trict. Our geographical position is suoh, that,
with proper facilities for transportation, we
would be enabled to command the principal
portion of the trade Of all the counties Of Vir.
ginia and Maryland lying west of US. Re-
cent experience is beginning to convince those
who have watched carefully the working Of
certain matters, that il we conclude to sit
idly and depend wholly upon the canal for
our future trade, we shall lose at least one
portion that Is Of all others most important to
US as commercial city-our once Furnishing
tobacco trade. The day has passed when the
farmers and millers were willing'to risk such
wcighty articles Of trade % grain and -four
upon the tardy process Of canal conveyance.
They have long since discovered that the mar
kets for each are ever fiuctuating, prices rising
one day and declining the next, consequently
all are seeking the most rapid and certain
means OF transportation to market when prices
are high. We must certainly expect to lose a
considerable portion Of such trade, unless we
supply ourselves with facilities for its accom-.
mediation equal to those Of our neighboring
cities. .
The following relic, which we found yester.
day in the workshop Of Mr.. William Dickson,
will doubtless be somewhat interesting to many
OF the readers of the Star in Georgetown. It
Is the ticket which was run for oar City Coun-
oils between thirty and forty years ago; and
We believe, among the whole Of the persons
named, there is but one now living-vis: w.

LAND WARRANTS.
RATES OF FOREIGN BANK NOTES.
nfac,f - nis,

The sudden rise in land warrants will, no
doubt, bring ont many warrants which the
warrantees have heretofore been unwilling to
dispose Of. It is supposed that not more th an
two-thirds Of the land warrants issued under
tie late act, have been sold, but are still in
the hands of the warrsntees. The demand
at present from Iowa, Wisconsin and Mime
sofa, is very heavy, and will probably con-
tinue until after the sales in Minnesota,
which commence on 22i instant, and the clos
ing Of navigation and travel by ice and snow.
The present issue now exceads five hundred
per day, which will average one hundred and
twenty acres each, or sixty thousand acres per
day, from which some idea of the vast loca.
tions in the Western States may be formed
when it is seen that this large issue does not
supply the demand.
There has been great activity in the grain
markets Of the different cities, with general
advance Of prices. The sales of -four, wheat
and corn in the New York market the last
four days of the past week, for foreign and
home consumption, exceeded $4,000, 600!
If the present shipments of breadstuffs con-
tinue, We shall soon see return of few of
the many millions of gold that England and
France has drained from us in the last five
