Correspondence of The Star.

GEoKsErowN, June 81, 1859
Our city the last day or two has been unusually
quiet There is but little news of any kind worthy
Of note stirring. Almost the only topic Of CONVEX
sation, except among those engaged In the more
mighty matters of merchandise is the LONG list of
pie-nics which are daily coming off. We have no
recollection of ever seeing or hearing Of anything
like the same number any previous summer as Is
occurring this. This species of healthy diversion
seems to have become almost sort Of mania
among large class of our people There is some
half dozen Of note TO come of during the ehsu-
ing two weeks. The most important among them
Is that Of the Young Catholics Friend Society at
Arlington, tomorrow; the Young Mechanics As
sociatiou at the same place, on Friday next and
that of the Methodist Protestant Sabbath School at
Analnstan Retreat, on the 3uth inst.
Our CITY Councils will held an adjourned meet
my AT clock this evening. The chief object
OF the meeting, we Erl.ve, is the approval of the
various contracts which have been made by the
Water Board for the distribution of the Potomac
water through city. AS soon this shall
have been done il s the intention of the Board to
commence operations with rs little delay pos
sible, and push this important work forward with
all possible dispatch so TO the compile
tiOn OF as much as possible of ii before the return
of cold weather
Reader, if YOU want to enjoy day of real ples-
sure don't fail to procure tic ket for the Pic Mic
of the Young Catholics Friend Society, at Ar
lngton to-morrow.
The offerings of Beef Cattle at the drove-yards
yesterday, amounted 20 about 2OU head, all of
which Were purchased by District butchers at

Inadequate TO the demand; old Sheep sold at ia5
cents per ib., aud Lambs at s3as3 So per head
Veal calves aalh cents per lib. gross. Cows and

FURTHER INTELLIGENCE FROM THE METEoRIc
PHENOMENON NEAR OswEGO.-The Oswego Pal
ladium OF the 18th instant contains further partic-
ulsrs in regard to the falling Of the immense me
feoric body in Bayleston, near that city The
dimensions Of the body have been materially cur

esting one. The aerOlite seemed to Lave been
formed of nucleus Of crystalized substance, of a
sem-vitreOus character. but harder than quartz
This was surrounded by crust Of about three feet
In thickness, which was probably the same sub

crust broke oil in fragments, and lays about the

June IL. WIN. w. MOORE.
Understanding from Alderman Moore lett, r
printed above, and from conversation with
| him, that we were in error in failing to class
him among those voting for Mr.. Middleton in
the caucus, we cheerfully give him the benefit
of its insertion in the Stars columns. We re-
| greet, however, to find in this letter an intima-
ton that he justifes secret political action on
the part of public functionaries, to affect the
status of their public trust, and regards it as
being dishonorable on the part of any one par
ticipating in it to divuge proceedings that
| took place therein. 1t will be remembered
that all attending that secret meeting owe their
official positions to the condemnation Of secret
political action on the part Of their constituent:
more than to aught else the American party
their opponents, having been deprived of the
control of the city government especially upon
that issue.
The public will surely recolIect the Star,
campaign against secret political action year:
| ago. In that we were as sincere as we are a
this moment. What we condemned so vehe
mently then in the American party we see NJ
reason to approve in their opponents now. Th'
practice is as Objectionable when resorted to by
one party as by the other, and can hardly fai
to lead to unfortunate results for the public in
forests by whatever party followed That ever
those participating in the Aldermanic caucus
comprehend that popular opinion here does no
approve secret semi-Oflicial action on thei
part, is becoming more evident in the uneasu es
manifested by more or less of them as the pro
cess of its ventilation progresses.

SWEET POTATO ULTURa.

Commence on a good, warm, sunshiny day.
about the first of April, select a warm place on
the side of a bank or hill, fronting the south;
dig a trench one foot deep, four feet wide, placing
the dirt on the north side; board around eight
inches high; fill twelve inches solid of damp
waste straw or hay; on this six inches of good
horse manure from the stable, packed solid; COW
er one and a half inches of good dirt; if not
sufficiently warmed by the sun, burn brush over
Tit matters not about the richness, so it will
not bake; on this place the potato, of good
sound seed; not too close; cover one inch of the
same dirt; bank around, and ditch so as to con-
vey the rains of; cover the same two feet solid
Of straw or waste hay, rounded at the top; after
this examine the bed that it does not get too
hot;in about eight or ten days the sprouts will
be above ground; uncover during the warmth
of the day-cover in the evening. The ground
intended for the plants should be plowed and
narrowed about the middle of April; if in good
order, the same culture when intended to set
the plants from the tenth to the twentieth of
May; run two burrows together with a one
horse pillow; the same across four feet each way;
ronnd up with the hoe, making the hill not so
large as the common blue bucket, sharp at the
top, and in the centre place the plant, not deeper
than it is rooted, as fross the immediate surface
the potato beghlssto form. When the vine has
commenced to grow, say twelve inches long,
run the bar Of the pillow as close as possible TO
The plant each way; follow with the hoe around
the plant; pillow the dirt back; round as before,
allowing no fresh dirt to come in contact with
the plant. Keep the weeds and grass out, and
the vines lOOsened from the ground
