GEORGETOWN, il

OEohubioWN, ouN' LIJ lOOls
At the joint meeting of the Corporate Board
of our town last evening, our Mayor, Hon. R.
Il. Crawford, was sworn in for this current
term which expires on the fourth Monday Of
February next. The oath was administered
by Squire Pearson, one of the Council, who,
have no doubt, appreciated the compliment"
Thereupon Mr.. G. addressed the joint Conven.
ton in an eloquent speech. The Convention
was then dissolved, and both Boards proceeded
to their regular order of business.
A company Of rfemen styled the "District
of Columbia Rifles" has been organized at
Tenna'lytown, by electing H. W. Blunt, Esq,
as Captain; J. W. Harry, First Lieut.. G. r..
Green, Second Lieut.; d. M. Lightfoot, Third
Lieut.; I. II. French, Orderly Sergeant; W..
I. Riley, Ensign. They have now enrolled
sixty-two members, with prospect of ncreas
ing their number still farther, and they will
form stout addition to the fine display of
military which our District will soon exhibit.

Virpinia Legislature.

Richmond, Jan. 22.-The Governor commu.
nicated to the Legislature, to-day, the coercion
resolutions of the Legislature Of Ohio, with a
message, in which he says that such resolutions
sent to slaveholding States have no other effect
than to excite resentments and inflame preu.
dices as well as to increase the difficulties and
embarrass if not defeat all the efforts now be-
ing made to adjust the controversy. He sug-
gests the propriety of rebuke to the Governor
of Ohio for his refusal to surrender Owen
Brown and Francis Merriam, when demanded
by the Executive of Virginia, as fugitives from
justice.
The message was tabled by a small majority.
The Senate debated the million defence bill,
pending which, the body adjourned.

Trenton, N. j., JAM 2l.-1he meeting called
to night to endorse the Crittenden compromise
was total failure. A large crowd were in at.
tendance, but three fourths ofthose present were
not favorable to any such mode of placating
the South. This was evidenced on the Preai
dent unfairly ruling out resolutions in favor of
the Union and the enforcement of the laws,
when the entire crowd, saving a few fusionists
Of last fall, who were the concoctors of the
meeting, left and organized meeting out of
doors, and adopted the Union resolutions with
thunderous cheers.

PROSPECTUS OF THE WEEKLY NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN,.
WASHINGTON, d. c., December, 1856

WASHINGTON, d. G., December, 1860.
The undersigned have commenced the publica-
ton, in this city, Of a weekly newspaper, called
the National Republican.
IL is printed on a large sheet, 27 by 40 inches,
and Is furnished at the low prices stated below.
It. will contain all the original matter Of the
daily National Republican, with the exception OF
local news not interesting 10 country subscribers.
1t will give full reports of the proceedings
Of Congress, and of the other departments of the
National Government.
1t will contain all the news of tie day, foreign
and domestic, markets, &C., &C., as well Us an
original correspondence from all parts of the
country. The miscellaneous department will re-
ceive special attention, and, in all respects, the
effort will be made to establish the character OF
the National Republican as q
FAMILY NEwspApER.
In politics, the paper will be Republican, sus-
taining the incoming Administration OF Mr.. Lin
coin, but disclaiming, however, any pretenson
to be the organ of the President elect
There is no other Republican paper in the
District Of Columbia, or in the vicinity of it, and
II Is believed that recent events have opened to
such a paper an important sphere of useful ef-
fort. The time has come, when the actual ad-
mnistration of the Government upon Republican
principles will explode the Misrepresentation
which have made those principles so dstasteful
to the South.
But it is not only here, and in this vicinity,
that the projectors of the National Republican
hope to make it useful. To the whole country
they offer journal which will discuss national
politics from national standpoint, and which
will never be swerved from patriotic duty by any
overpowering pressure of local interest.

North Carolina Legislature.

Raleigh, Jan. 22.-The calling of State
Convention is more doubtful to day than here.
tofore, on account of disagreement as to the
time. One party is for hosty, and the other for
deliberate, action.
The Senate agrees on the 2lst February for
the election of delegates, which date is likely
to kill it on third reading.
The bill was debated in the House to-day, but
no action was taken.
Carolina will prove conservative, but not sub
missive. Everybody is for secession, when it
shall become necessary.

PENNSYLVANIA Legislature.

Harrisburg, Jan. 22.-The Republicans in

to-day, at which twenty.four were present. 1t
is reported that their vote, combined with the
Democratic vote, will carry the repeal through
the House.
The speech of Mr.. Armstrong, Republican,
in the House, favoring the Crttenden resolu.
tions, produced powerful effect. 1t was the
finest effort in either House during the session.
