For tho Intelllgenecr.I

MesSTs. Editors:-I wish, you would be
kind enough to give publicity to following
remarks--whic the writer thinks of great
Importance to the COMMUNICATE insertion
in yoursYaluable paper a s.
notice in, your report of theproceedings
E'ofCouucil the other evening, that-aPPlica-
tiOn was made by the "Guards" Fire Com
pHny Of the 9TH Ward, through their Direc-
tor, for the delivery of the apparatus of
the Hope Company to their charge. This
was not altogether unexpected, when ta-
king into consideration, they already retain
the bestportion of that Company's Machi-
merry, which was entrusted to their care
by the Council at former meeting, 1t is
Singular thing to the subscriber if there
remains not one voice in:thc End Ward to
cry out against such injustice, or that
they remain quiet while such an act is
pcrpetratcd against their welfare and to
their injury. What was the understanding
when the 9th Ward Company came in
possession of the Hope engine? 1t was to
Keep il in good order until tie Hope rc-orgQ-
Mics, and then to dciirer ii up on the request
Of the righ!fNl adhercnts Of that CompQRy.-
Now what do they seek to do? retain per-
mnnent possession by act of Council, and
thus throw aside all possible or probable
chances (by dcpriving the Company of
Rt<'$AtStSJ VI a. aIlLLAtL4ulI IL
compare the relative merits of the two
companies is not necessary as, no doubt
both have done all they possibly could al
all times for the public welfare and safety.
But merely to call the attention of the
public to the relative advantages of posi-
ton of the respective engine houses, to
show where the best apparatus ought to
be. Is not the most valuable property in
the city in the Second and Third Wards,
Immediately in the neighborhood of the
Hopes location? is not every part of tue
city easier of access for heavy apparatus
North of the creek fronrthe Hope than from
the Guards, house? Has not the Hope
Company been on hand as their motto
reads? "Wherc duty calls there you'll find
u.s. And finally amt this apparent TO all
even to the most disinterested persona that
it would be gross act of injustice for the
Council to comply with the request of the
"Guards" Company. There is no doubt
that as the Hope Company was formerly
one of the best in the city, that the same
material still remains in the two wards,
end and 3rd,) if properly used to make as
good if not little better company than
eyer before, and it is the hope of the writer
besides many others who have their feel
ings interested in the cnse-thnt q negative
answer will be the report ofthat committee
to which the affair is entrusted

ALL TIE PREMIUMS EVER AWARDED BY
the Fair on tho Island. for Ambrotypcs have Justly
been given to PARTRIDGE. The superiority of his
photographs, Ambrotypcs, &c, all others in thO
city is daiIy acknowledged by good judges.
Partridge does not boast of great number of Pro
minus, like come of his competitors in majority Of
which there is not particle of morit, they being
awarded by the discretionary committee without any
competition. y
Partridge has advertised for years to mako bet
ter pictures than be had any other place in the
city, or make charge for them Others have not
dared to make similar proposition, knowing them
selves that Partridge turns out daily better pictures
than any other man.

HoN. J. IS. CLEMENS, formerly United

HoN. j. s. CLEMENS, Formerly United
States Senator from Alabama, and at pres
ent editor of the Memphis (Tenn.) Enqui-
rcr, says, in a recent letter to that paper,
dated at Philadelphia:
';A number of country girls. who had
been to wedding, entered the same car
in which l was sitting, at Lancaster, Pa.,
and made my cheeks burn by their laugh
ing comments upon the chivalry of the
South. do not remember that l was ever
inclined to deny my birthplace before, hut
if one of them had asked me at that par
ticular time where I was from, think l
should have, answered Iowa, OF Minnesota,
or perhaps Oregon. OF course, all this is
harmless, and the stories so current are
wild exaggerations. At home / should
laugh at them as heartily as any one, but
do not liketo hear them here and nothing
but the fear of making myself ridiculous
by getting into passion has preserved me
several time from retorting a witticism BY
n taunt.- Besides, when I sit down and
think over it calmly, l am forced to con-
fess that it is nothing more than iair,re-
taliation for the clustering threats in
which our people are SO prone to indulge
We talk about whipping the North with
as much self-cOmplacency as if her whole
population would not more than suffice
for Il breakfast for the militia of II single
Southern State, and yet John Brown, aided
by seventeen white men and seven or eight
free negroes, seized a national ArmOry in
thickly populated portion of Southern
State, and was only captured by the aid of
United States marines from Washington.
Since the arrest and conviction of this in
significant band, wc,havc had Southern
Legislatures and Governors going through
the ridiculous farce of rendering mid to
the Governor OF Virginia TO prevent res
cue no sane man believes to be possible
Scarcely N dry passes but we have some
startling disclosure, and the telegraph is
kept busy in recording the imaginary
movement of the. rcscuers on the one hand,
aud the warlikc preparations of the guar
dians of the law on the other. No Won
der we are laughed at"

IN New York Patrick Honcyman, a man
afflicted with pugilistic disposition, had
fight, on scientific principles, with Pat
rick Tanning, an Irishman, few nights
ago. Tanning seemed to have the best of
it, and knocked his opponent down several
times. During the last round, snd while
Tanning was upon Honeyman, hcremarked
"Let me lie on. him little while,'' but as
he was pulled off, report was raised that
the police were coming, and the spectators,
as we'll the principals in the fight, fled
in all directions. Honeyman did not, at
the time, complain of serious injury, but in
day or two he began to feel the effects of
his encounter, and on Friday last he died
from internal injuries. Coroner's jury re-
turned nverdict in accordance with the
above facts. Tanning has surrendered him

The question has very properly been
raised, whether the recent decision of the
Postmaster General concerning mail mat
ter in this State, is intended to apply to
letters as we'll as to papers and books. 1t
is of decided Importance to know what
means postmaster is authorized to en-
ploy to learn if the mail-bags contain in
cendiary matter, and whether justice is
authorized by the laws of Virginia to burn
letters, and if he does, whether the owner
of the letters has no remedy 1t will be
seen at once that power which is liable
to great abuse is entrusted to the justices of

as ftarzreaching and Comprehensive as some

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Aerrld says: Since the declara-
ton of Mr.. Clark, of Missouri, that there
should be no vote for Speaker till his Helper
resolution was voted OH, many Republic
cans have determined that some other
avowals shall be tested in the House also.
They viii offer resolutions that, as disunion
sentiments arc hostile to the domestic
peace aud tranquility of the country, no
one who avows or endorses them is fit to
be Speaker. These can easily be car
ried, as the Republicans and South Amer
leans will vote for them, and many Nor
thern Democrats will do likewise. An
other resolution is suggested from an anti
Lccompton Democrat, that no one who
voted for Governor of Virginia who had
endorsed the Rutfner anti-slavcry pamphlet
as Governor Letcher did, is tito be Speak
