COMMUNICATED

CoMAUNICATED.
The quiet streets Of Georgetown were con-
siderably enlivened ON yesterday by the ap-
pearsnce Of the Georgetown College Cadets
In full uniform, accompanied by Weber's ex-
cellent brass band. They marched through
the town on their way to the Villa" a sum
mer retreat belonging to the College, and
situated some two or three miles north Of this
place. The maneuvers were all performed with
an ease and grace which was astonishing, in a
corps consisting of youths, all under twenty
years Of age. The march to the Vii q is said to
have been a very pleasant one, and in truth
could not well have been other wise, as they
received at almost every door and ", ndow the
soldiers greatest reco mpense in time Of peace,
tie ladies' smiles. On reaching their point Of
destination they found everything prepared
for their comfort, that the care Of the faculty
could provide. The dinner, which from all
accounts was excellent, was followed by q
short farewell address from Capt Garnett,
and numerous tOasts call drank in goodly
cups" of the strongest-lemonade After q
very pleasant day they took up their line of
march for College, whore they arrived without
interruption, save from afrghted horses. In
conclusion il is but due to Capt Garnett,
Lieuts. Doughsrty, Price, and others, to say
they have brought the company to a high
state Of discipline. And hoping they may
ever prosper, l am their well wisher,

THE DEFENCEs OF New YORK Cry
In these ''piping times of peace" says the
| Register, it seems not little unnecessary
TO talk about the defences of New York
city ever proving insufficient. But accord
ing to the theory that gin peace prepare
for war;" We suppose it is the soundest
wisdom to look after the matter. 1t seems,
therefore, that Senator Fish has moved
the subject in the U. s. Senate, and a
resolution of inquiry was adopted An
other fort at Sandy Hook, for the purpose
of preventing an enemy's feet from enter
ing the outer harbor, has been spoken of
as necessary. But the new, as well as the
old forts, must, as is admitted be equip
ped with entirely new arrangements-with
guns of large calibre and long range.
Speaking ON the subject and the subject
of ornaments and Notifications generally,
the Washington correspondent Of the Bos-
ton Advertiser says:
s'The condition of the Notifications of
the harbor, and the Navy-yard, at New
York has been the subject ofmuch remark
of late. They are utterly inadequate for
the purpose Of defending the port, city,
and Navy-yard against the attack of such
ships and ornaments as now afoat. A
distinguished and scientific officer Of the
United States Navy remarked to Senators
the other day, that he would select two
sloops from the British Navy, with which
he would undertake, with perfect safety,
to lay New York city under contribution,
or she'll and burn it. This officer knows
the channel perfectly we'll, and knows eve
ry gun that is or can be mounted upon
the forts which we rely for the defence of
the place. The guns OF these forts are
not of sufficient calibre and reach to do
any harm to the class of ships which are
now built by Great Britain. We are ma
king some II inch guns; but PROPOSE
ton to arm the new steamer Mcrrinac
with them, was overruled by the Navy
Department. She is to be armed with
guns of MUCK smaller calibre and range,
and in contest with some modern English
or French ships of war now aAoat, she
might as well be armed with nothing but
horse pistols"

WOMAN Frozen TO DEATH.=On Nav
7th the dead body of woman, who had
evidently persisted from cold and exposure
was found in snow-drift about FIVE miles
from Weaverville. The discovery was
made by means of a dog who had aroused
MIR. Dredge, settler, by his moaning and
whining in the middle of the night. Mr..
Dredge, surprised and alarmed at the oc-
ourrence, rose and dressed himself and ad-
mitted the animnl TO his house. The dog
made such strange signs, that Mr.. Dredge
was persuaded to accompany it up the
precipitous side of the mountain, where
the body was found. The dog then ferret
ed out bundle of clothing that Law by the
side of the body, and there nestled child
about two years old, warm and alive. The
body of the woman was nearly naked. It
was evident that she had stripped herself
to provide sufficient warm clothing for her
child. The sagacity and attachment Of
the dog to thesuferers is very remarkable
Mr.. Dredge has adopted both the child
and its canine savior. The bodv Of the
woman was deeently inferred. It is not
yet known what vas the name of the wo-
man.-Butletin, 18th.

From our Extra Of Rr;day


Intelligence from San Francisco. saws
the Yigilence COMMITTEES hass been all
day enlisting new men and hundreds arc
waiting their time to be sworn in.
T'h excitement is intense. much greater
tE.afl yesterday, and it is impossible to tell
where or when it viii end.
Mr. KNG IS not as well as yesterday,
and thousll there is still hope his case is
extremely critical.
The Military have all left the Jail and
refused to defend it ary longer. The
Sheriff is conveying a large number Of
guns to the Jail and must now depend on
his own posse for aid. - 81
The grand cry is aLet the city be puri-
ied!" 6 Gamblers must and shall be
driven from our midst p Let the friends
of Cora and Casey take warning and leave
the city and other villains may look to
themselves, for they are known
There must now be at least 1000 men
on the lists of the Vigilence Committee,
and deputation of their number is kept
posted about the Jail to see that Casey
will not escape in disguise.
Governor johnson has gone down en-
the boat to-day, and call has been made
from the Vigilence Committee of San
Francisco for 500 to go down from this
city and they will be furnished.
The San Francisco Herald which in its
editorial of yesterday so nearly sustained
Casey in the act of attempted assassina-
tion of Mr.. KING that its position is by
no means equivocal, comes out to-day in
half its usual size, as its advertisements
and patronage are nearly all withdrawn.
An immense meeting was held last
night in front of the Orleans Hotel, at
which Mr.. Winans delivered most thrill
ing speech, and resolutions were adopted
expressive of deep sympathy for Mr. King
and expressing the feeling of the meeting
in regard to the 6ehdish act of Casey, and
the state of the public interests generally
Maj. Bowie presided and the deepest in
terest was evinced.
Hopes were entertained for Mr.. Kings
life till few hours ago, but to save him
an artery cut by the ball in passing thro'
his body must be taken up and it is ex-
tremely doubtful if he can survive the op-
Grafton.
His recovery would tend much to allay
excitement bat in the event of his death
God only knows what will be the result,
for the true man of the community now
feel that the crisis has come and forbear
ance has ceased to be a virtue.
Business in San Francisco has been
nearly suspended since yesterday morn
ing. All wait with deep anxiety the de-
velopments of the next few hours.
