GEORGETOWN CORRESPONDENCE.
GEoRGEToWy, Nav I, 1856.

GEoRGETowS, May 1, 1856.
fire occurred yesterday afternoon about
2 O'Clock in frame house near the Bridge
street bridge, Washington side) owned and &C.
cupied by Mr.. Mcbride, as grocery, soap
factory, and dwelling. The roof and second
story Of the building ras entirely destroyed
before the engines could get fully at work.
Most Of the furniture, and contents of the gro.
Gerry, however, was saved In a damsg ed con-
dltion The following fire companies were
promptly on the spot, and labored hard to
suppress the flames and save the adjacent
property: Vigilant, of our city; Western
Hose and Union, Of Washington. We learn
from several members of the vigilant Compa'
ny that their services was rendered much less
effective than they otherwise would have been
by the continued bursting of their hose, which
have become insufficient in consequence of
age and use, of rendering any very great
amount of service In case fre Should occur
at any considerable distance from the water.
We hope that our City Councils will see to the
matter. We learn that Mr.. Mcbride was in.
sured in one of the District offices in the sum
of ST, 400, which will doubtless nearly cover
his loss
We would advise all, old and young, who
may desire to spend On evening in the most
agreeable manner imaginable, to &c to the
ladies fair and festival at Pompean Hall. The
tables are well filed with useful and fancy
articles, confectionery, fruits, &C., and are
presided over by some Of the most lovely las
sizes OF our city, whose sweet smiles, which are
lavished upon all, (even the orusty old bach.
elor, is an ample remuneration for all that
may be expended with them.
May day made its advent this morning,
with its countenance shrouded in an awfully
portentous scowl, and amid an incessant weep
ing, which causes the thirsty earth to rejoice
and shooting vegetation to look glad, and
doubly beautiful, but sends thrill Of sorrow
to tho heart of many a juvenile, who has long
been looking forward to it as a day of relaxa-
ton from book, and of unalloyed Joy.
The offerings of flowers by the Sabbath
school children of Trinity church, yesterday
evening, was very pleasing affair, and at
tracted large concourse of persons. After
the exercises by the children was over, very
interesting discourse was delivered to the CON
gregation by Rev. Mr.. Sorin, of Philadelphia.
AT the fish dock a brisk business continues
to be done. The supply of shad, however,
has somewhat decreased, and prices have ad.
vanced to SLASH per hundred; behring's
abundant, and going off freely at So per
thousand.

CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS.

IN the oenSte, yesterdy, after we went to
press, Mr.. Bggs defended the Naval Board,
and replied to the recent speeches of Mr..
Houston and others in the course of his re-.
marks complmenting the Secretary of the
Navy, for the efficiency Of his official conduct
Mr.. Adams spoke in condemnation Of the
action of the Naval Board.
Mr.. Toombs then obtained the floor, and
the subject was postponed until tomorrow.
After the consideration of Executive bust
ness the Senate adjourned.
In the House, the further consideration of
the bill from the Committee on Commerce es-
tablishing the collective districts of the Uni
ted States, designating ports of entry and de
livery, and modifying the revenue laws, was
postponed until the second Monday of June
next.
Mr.. Herbert alluded to the fact that, by the
last arrival, intelligence was brought that
thirty Americans had recently been killed on
the Isthmus of Panama. This was not the
hrst offence known in that quarter, and it was
high time that our Government should take
steps to put stop to such proceedings If
our citizens are to receive no relief from Gov
eminent, the sooner they know it the better
He then offered resolution, which was
adopted, instructing the Committee on For
eign Affairs to inquire, if any, and if so, what
further legislation is necessary to secure the
lives and property of American citizens pass
ing over the lsthmus of Panama.
The House went into Committee of the Whole
and took up the Indian appropriation bill
Messrs Burlington and Meacham severally
spoke against slavery extension; when the
committee rose, and the Indian appropriation
bill was reported.
The House then adjourned

Later from California.

The steamship Illinois, which arrived at
New York yesterday from Aspinwall, brings
the California mails of April 5.h, about
S2,00O,00O in treasure, and nine hundred pas.
sengers, amongst whom is Ex-Governor Bigler
The mining returnaof California promise as
large yield as that of last year.
Ex-senator Foote has Withdrawn as the
American nominee for the Senate of the Uni
ted States.
The drought which had prevailed through
out California for two months had given place
to copious showers of rain. In the southern
counties it was feared that the pasturage
would be insufficient to sustain the cattle
throughout the summer.
1t is said that tho Mormons are making a
reconnaissance of the Colorado river, and OPEN
ing channel of communica alton with all the
leading Mormon stations with a view of get

A brisk trade has sprung up between San
Francisco and the Russian possessions. Tho
ship Cyane sailed on the Goth ult with large
assorted cargo.
The money market of San Francisco on
steamer day was very stringent. Universal
complaints were made about unsatisfactory
collections. r-
The Indian hostilitics in Oregon continue.
The Daily. Herald San Francisco) says:
There can be no question of the fact that the
Indian war in the north is beginning to assume
very serious aspect. Some battles have re-
Gently been fought, aod the Indians have
been invarbly victorious.
We copy the following from an Extra Of the
Oregonian, dated Portland, March 2sth
We have received several letters within the
last twenty-four hours, from points above,
along the Columbia River. The Indians, it
seems, have by a coup de main withdrawn all
tho Regulars who have been wintering at
Vancouver, to the east side of the Cascade
Mountain. These Indians made q show of
defiance at White Salmon, burned house or
two, killed and drove off a quantity of stock,
and committed other depred atoms; whereupon
all the available force of the regular army
were ordered to move to the Indian country.
The Oregon Volunteers who took the field last
Sep TENDER, and who have been in the Indian
country ever since, were about to Cross Snake
River and give the Indians battle At this
Juncture it seems the Indians divided their
forces, and by a military ruse have placed a
large war party between both the Regulars,
Volunteers and the settlements, and have re-
commenced the war near our doors. On Tues
day eight, 18th instant, the Indians, supposed
to number 500, attacked the Cascades, and at
our latest dates had full possession of the only
pass by which communication can be had with
either the Regular forces or the Volunteers
now in the field. The Indians have burned
every building at the Cascades They have
captured and destroyed the steamer Mary,
killed large number of citizens, and yester.
day were fighting with the forces in the Block
House
