Communicated for the Washington Star

Mr.. Editor: Being on visit to old
Georgetown College yesterday, imagine my
great surprise, as we'll as pleasure, when,
upon my arrival there, to find drawn up on
the parade ground, a military company,
which, on inquiry, I found to be the junior
cadets, company composed entirely of boys
from nine to fifteen years Of age numbering
some 65 rank and file. A more beautiful
and truly interesting sight I never before
witnessed.
Through Tie kindness CT friend, I was
::oouuced to their gentlemanly commander,
Capt, Doonan, also to Lieuts. Buckley, Lee,
Snow and Neale, and with great pleasure
accepted of them an invitation to pass the
day at the villa belonging to the College.
After going through number of militia
ry eyolutions. with an exactness and preci-
sion which would have surprised some of
our oldest military men, and which reflected
great credit upon themselves and their Off
GERS, they paraded through the principle
streets of Georgetown preceded by the ex-
celsor Withers, (who by the way, is a IA
vorite of both Junior and senior cadets, and
his inimitable band, on which occasion they
performed for the first time, in exquisite
style, the "Cadet Polka dedicated to the
senior cadets, and Cadet Quickstep," dedi-
Gated to the junior cadets of Georgetown
College.
The ladies with their usual grace and a
lacrity, saluted them with their sweet smiles
and the waving of handkerchiefs, which was
responded to on the part of the gallant Ca
diets, military decorum, of course, restrain
ing their wonted demonstrations.
They arrived at the villa about noon,
when, after resting short space of time,
they partook of sumptuous repast prepar-
ed for them, after which they proceeded to
enjoy themselves in various ways until o.
clock, at which time they again formed
ranks and returned to the college. May
great success attend their early efforts.

His loss will not only be greatly mourned, by

Il o THE SIXTH CONGRESSIONAL Dis
TRICT OF MARYLAND.-There are some
facts connected with the political history of the
Sixth Congressional District of MARYLAND, which
merit and should command the candid and impair
tial attention of her people. Within the last five
or six years, every County in this District has
been honored by some high political distinction,
save and except St. Mary's county. Charles has
had her State Elector and Delegate to the Cincn--
natl Convention Prince Georges her Member of
Congress, Calvert her Eleetor, Howard her Gov
ernor, Montgomery her Delegate to the Cincinna-
ii Convention, Anne Arundel her District Elector,
st. Marvs nothing-but the merit and consciou
ness of having discharged her duty. In the dis
trbuton of Offices and honors, the claims of Saint
Mary's have been totally disregarded. and even
at the last Convention assembled in Baltimore,
when she modesty asked for an Elector or De-
legate to the Cincinnati Convention, she was po-
litely told, not now, but at some future day your
claims shall be justly regarded To this, and
and entered upon the field of political duty with
""e h..Nd zeal and ardor. In the late Presidential
election. she has won for herself impershabe
fame and glory by constituting herself not ONLY
the banner county of the District but of the State
OF Maryland by rolling up majority of eO5 for
Buchanan and breckenridge. ask in all fairness,
IN view OF these facts, she not Justly entitled to
something. We therefore recommend to this
District as candidate for the next Congress,
BENJAMIN e. HARRIS, of St. Mary's-his
talents, moral worth, professional attainments,
pubic and private virtues and noble defence of
Democratic principles. merit and deserve the con-
ildence and support of the people.

How strikingly is illustrated, in the death
of GREY EAGLE, the language of Holy Writ
-''In the midst of life we are in death. -
But few days since GREY EAGLE was in all
the buoyancy of health, treading the earth
with the pride of the 'war HORSE" and
champing the bit with that conscious supe-
riority which all who knew him were willing
TO accord.
With head erect and flowing name
He paws, and champs his bit again.
Now here he lies with stifened limbs, where
the speed of thought but yesterday dwelt.
Sleep sweetly my gallant Grey!" Your
masters hand will not forget to plant and
water the flowers over your grave; nor will
his recollection ever be oblivious of your
merit. Let the autumn wind harp on the
dropping leaves her softest requiem over

ANOTHER OF THE BETS PA1D.-Mr Batch
eller, who at the time the Perley Poore ap-
pie wager first became public, offered. in a
similar spirit Of frolic, to draw barrel Of
beans from Sutton to Worcester, Massachu-
sets if Fremont was not elected President
of the United States, paid the forfeit on
Wednesday of last week, with sturdy
consistency worthy of better cause and
graver matter. The vehicle was a
common sled, the beans and vehicle weigh
ed 27O lbs, the distance to be traversed
was over eleven miles, and the 'animal in
the shafts was encountered with snow shoes.
Mr.. Batcheller, however, had contrived to
make his trip paying concern by betting
5000 he would perform it inside of six hours.
This, of course, was stimulant, and he won
amid the applauding shouts and congratula-
tons of 'W orcester town." which had turn
ed out to meet him. To complete the farce,
as is usual in such cases, there was grand
supper. Mr. Batcheller confessed to being
pretty essentially used up as he deserv-
cd to be.
