It is not to be wondered at that the Doctor did
not dare attempt this work on an empty stomach,
or that he summoned 30 many CT his supporters to
meet him at Cops Saloon to keep up his spirits
After the guillotine had done its work, and every
true American head had been removed that was in
his reach, then came the thunder tone Of tn, can
non, announcing that the city was now in the
hands Of anti Americans.
The GUANo CONFERENCE.-The body met at
noon to-day, at the Smithsonian Institute. OF this
convention Ion writes in yesterdays Sun, as fol-
lows:
"a scientific and agricultural convention is to
be held at the Smithsonian Institution, in reference
especially to the means of promoting agriculture
by reducing the price of guano, which has become
indispensable as fertilizer. Some communica-
tons from John R. Clay our Minister in Peru, will
be presented to the convention in relation to the
quality and quantity of guano, and suggesting
measures for enabling American farmers and plan
tiers to procure it on lower terms 1t is time to
expect report from CON- Mervine in regard to
the newly discovered guano islands in the Pacific.
Soon. Mervine was despatched with one of his
squadron from the Pacific station, at the request
Of a New York company, to examine these islands
and report upon the value of their guano depostes
Meanwhile proposition has been introduced in
the Senate to bring said islands under the urisdic
ton of the United States Government, without
which measure the deposites would be valusless to
the company as soon as other nations become ac-
quainted with themn
The Convention assembled at IL NJ. this day.
About one hundred delegates we're present.
Hon. Il. G. 8. Key, of Maryland, was elected
President, and the following gentlemen Vice Pres
idents: John Jones, Delaware II. H. Cooke, vir-
gnia DR.. Holt, North Carolina; d. Jay Browne,
New York.
When this report closed, the reading of re-
port was commenced.
A report was circulated several days ago that
the yellow fever had appeared in Georgetown; but
such is not the truth. 1t appears that on the
barque VIM. Chase, from the West Indies, which
came up the Potomac last week, one Of her CON-
pany died Of some malignant disease-some say
black vomit-and another, taken sick Of bilious
fever had been brought to the city infirmary, and
is now doing well The Health Commissioner Of
Washington, Doctor Alexander Med. Davis, lost
no time in inquiring into the case, and promptly
performing what his duties required in the prem
ises. There is no occasion for alarm on this SUBJ
ject The two cities of the District never enjoyed
greater measure of good health than they now
do at this season Of the year.
