GEORGETOWN CORRESPONDENTS

GEORGETOWN, September IL. 1856
The new arrangement, invented by Mr.. W.
T. Duvall, for unloading coal boats though
the bottom of the boat was fully tested at the
Homecoming Company s docks yesterday. Quite
large number of persons were present to
witness the experiment, with a loaded boat)
which was, SO far as we could learn, perfectly
satisfactory. We have not, IA yet, learned
definitely whether Mr.. Ray and the company
which intends shipping their coal at these
docks, have determined to carry out Mr.. Du
Wallis plan. 1t would be attended with con-
siderable expense in the beginning but the
general impression is that it would be largely
more than overcome in the end by the great
saving of time and labor in the unloading and
reloading of the coal. The experiment yes
terday proved conclusiveIy that the unloading
of boats through the bottom, without the ne
cessity of drawing off the water from the dock
is altogether practicable. Mr. Duvall is very
sanguine tSat ten boats constructed for the
pur pose, with three cylinders each, could be
unloaded in day with his plan, if fully car
ried out
"E Pluribus Unum'' is mistaken if ne sup
poses that our item of Wednesday was in
tended as dead shot" to forestall the mat
ter, or prejudice in any manner the chances
Of any Of the many who will offer sites for the
custom house and post office building. Our
ideas, like those to whom We first alluded, can
be explained in few words. But two bene-
fits can result from the construction Of such
building, viz: the circulation among our bust
ness men of the amount that will be expended
in its construction, and the ornament it will be
to that portion of the town where it may be
located Therefore, we, in common with
others, desire to see it placed at some point
where it will not be entirely hid from public
view and the point We alluded to being both
elevated and central, induced us to suggest it
as suitable one.
Wonder if no plan can be adopted by the
authorities to aba'e the horrid nuisance under
the market house on the tOw-path of the canal.
The ef1uvia constantly arising from it is almost
unbearabls
A called meeting of our city councils will be
held this evening. The business for which
they have been called together is not as yet
publicly known Those who seem to be ac-
quainted with the secrets of the cabinet say
that at least dozen messages from the Mayor
will be laid before them for consideration.
The weather during the last few days has
been oppresslvely warm. A fine shower Of
rain yesterday afternoon. however, has cooled
the atmosphere and we again breathe more
freely
low citizens, D. English and George w aters,

FREMONT MEETING IN BALTIMORE-ITS Alb
RUPT TERMINATIoN.-The Baltimore American
OF this morning says:
Agreeable to a notice, q number Of the
friends OF Fremont assembled mt Temperance
Hall last night, but the me eting was of short
duration A number OF persons opposed to
the party were in tho Hsll, and before the
organization was completed some one proposed
three cheers for Fremont, which was followed
by three groans, and three cheers were given
Tor Fillmore, ana three for Buchanan. A gen.
eral melee then began, and the Hall vas clear
ed In q few minutes, some of the party escap.
lug out OF the windows. One Of the members
OF the meeting succeed sd in getting out of the
crowd with the loss of his coat, and was fol
lowed by the crowd up to Baltimore street,
where he took refugein q store and left BY the
rear door. But few persons were struck, the
object being apparently to break up the meet
ing without using serious personal violence
Though our citizens are universally opposed
to the principles which the meeting advocated,
tue course pursued was disreputable and can
only help the cause it was in Intended to crush.
The most Of the disorderly persons present
were mere youths, and Of tho class that too Of
ten disturb the peace Of the city. The right
minded Of neither the other parties would
countenance such proceeding well knowing
that handful Of Black Republicans can effect
nothing in this city or State. The parties
prominent in the meeting, and against whom
the violence Of the crowd was directed, were

others were followed in various directions, but
none, it is believed, received any serious per-
sonal injury

An eccentric clergyman, lately allu-
ding In his pulpit to the subject Of fami-
ly government, remarked that it is often
said, "That now a-days there is no such
thing as family government. But it's
false, all falsel There is just as much
family government now as there ever
was-just as much as in the days of our
fathers and grandfathers. The only
difference is that then the old folks did
the governing, now it is done by the
young ones!"
