J = EVENING STAR. LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. ’ Revier to the Sorrerers sr YeLiow Fever —We learn that the “Assistant Post- masters General and Clerks of that Depart- ment have subscribed $65; the Sixth Auditor's bureau $130; that of the First Comptroller of the Treasury, $62; persons employed in and about the Capitol, Capitol grounds, and Capi- tol extension, $100, and other sums, of $100 and upward have been mptly forwarded to the authorities of the bursement. We were informed, on application to Messrs. Chubb Brothers, that the total amount which they have received is $385. All the sums sub- seribed are not in. ‘In the Navy a a3 ment building $120 50 were subscribed. Chubb Brothers have remitted $375. The banking-house of Messrs. Chubb Bro- thers will continue to receive and forward contributions for the laudable purpose of re- lieving the distressed. The offices of the “‘ Union’’ and the “ Intel- ligencer,”’ and the ban! ‘house of Sweeney cities, for dis- 4 Rittenhouse have also designated as degusitecies of such gifts. ll the collections taken up in St. Patrick’s Charch, ou F street, on Sunday next, the 19th instant, at the several hours of service—6, 7 and 10 a. m., and 4 p. m.—are to be applied to the relief of the sufferers. A Duet Prevextev.—Last night informa- tion was given to the police of this city that, from circumstances of recent occurtence, there was reason to believe that arrangements were making or were made for 9 duel between the Hon. Chas. J Faulko*r and Col. Boteler, the , candidates in the Harper’s Ferry district, at the late Congressional election in Virginia. Tae gentleman who lodged the in- formatior. is related to one of the parties and the political friend of the other. His state- ment was clear and free from the least par- tele of prejudice for or against either gentle- man. arrants were immediately issued, and Captain Birch, of the Auxiliary Guard, J. Davis, Chief of Police, with officers Allen, Handy and Boss weut in search of the par- ties. Col. Boteler was found at the Kirkwood House in company with his friends, Mes«rs. Strother and 1; Mr. Faulkner at Wil- lard’s Hotel, where he bas been stopping. They were conducted to the guard jouse, where an examination took place before Jus- tice Morsell; during whick the principals were separated ; the one being in the retiring room, while the other was in the trial room. Both appeared to be very much disappointed at theinterference The testimony does not show that a challenge was jeidered or accepted ; but the suspicious circumstances were con- sidered sufficient to juire security of the arties that no such affair should take place. ¢ sum demanded by the Justice was five thousand dollars each. Col. Alexander Pro- vost became the security of Mr. Faulkner, and Mr. George Plant for Col. Boteler. The bemtee ro that they shall not fight a duel ip this District, nor leave it for that purpose. Tae Excaupuent.—It is ho that others of the volunteer corps of this city wil! join the gallant and ambitious National Guard in their encampment on the lands of Col. Hickey, about two miles north of Washington, on the 12h of September. Surely our citizen sol- diery have spirit and taste enough to make this encampment a grand affair, going off with very decided ec/at. If four or five of crack volunteer companies of the city would join hands in this matter, (and it could be done with the greatest possible ease and comfort and pleasure to all,) they would ac- complish themselves more in the art of the soldier, in two days steady drilling as a bat- talion, than in two years’ night dréiling, such as almost alone forms their drill when not camping on a similar excursion. Such a camp as we suggest would be visited by thousands of our fellow-citizens, ircluding nearly all the youth and beauty of the federal metro, lis. Surely such inducements as we describe above should prove sufficient to draw out a very handsome array of the military of Washington on this interesting occasion. CuaracteRistic GeNgRosity.—We stated, yesterday, that in addition to the contribue tions of Mr. George Kunkel, and others of his troupe, for the relief of the Virginia sufferers by the yellow fever, a benefit would, as we were informed, be given at the Holliday street theatre for the same worthy object. We now learn, from the Baltimore papers, that during the progress of the public meeting in that city esterday, a letter was received from Mr. John - Ford, manager of that theatre, tendering. on behalf of the lessees of the establishment (Messrs. Kunkel, Ford, and Floyd) the entire Pitas: aba performance next Monday night, for whieh occasion Mr. and Mrs. Charles Huw- ard have kindly volunteered their services. It is needless to say anything in praise of this noble offer—so characteristic of the worthy Proprietors. “Noxg or your Bitus, Sir.’’—The other day the well known, quiet, and courteous dis- tributor of handbills for public exhibitions, was ordered out of a store, with the rude re- mark of ‘* None of your bills, sir.”’ “It’s for the concert to-night,’’ rejoined the distributor. «I don’t care if it is; none of your bills, sir.”” The distributor accordin ly retired; and af- terward said to a friend that he had been en- gaged in this business for twenty years, and that never before had one of his bills been re fused. Merchants have always accepted them, either for the purpose of reading the pro gramme, or making use of them for wrapping papér. In other words they have, with this Soy exception, always ‘foe “honored at sight.” For Caup.—Itis said that atleast one hund- Ted persons have left, or are about leaving this city, forthe Methodist camp meeting which commences in Montgomery county, Maryland, to-night. Although the distance from Wash- ington is seventeen miles, we hear that all the available horse-flesh has been engaged to transport visitors thither on Sunday next. Tux Epitor of tae Trurs thus discourses in a communication with which he has fur- ished us : “ Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God.”? JurrERson. When he uttored that noble Sentement, he Was contending against false Measurs and Men, among which was the Alian and Sedicion laws passed under the Sanction of the Elder Adams. And it is now to be revived under the cunning of Sam. Ah! Sam, what Sam? Says you, Sam Houston to be sure. Did you bot know that Ned and his man Shankland Were Cronies, and were acting together to bring the Cogwette Sam out for the next Pres- ident? Shall they Succeed in their work of destruction to our Institutions, on this Conti- nent as was done in France Under the Ist Na- poleon, and especially afterhe put away his wife—which was against the laws of God, and the dictates of humanity—and if God Cursed Napoleon the Ist for putting away his wife ” will he not as a Just Curse Baas ? who has put away two—and had any number of Squaws, and other more de: led charackters. Sam was the largest Dog in Texas, yes such as is described in Revelations—To wit, The meanest of all charackters, Such is the eastern Sense of the term Dog—and Such is the Sense I desire it to be understood in, and one day in the presence of Senator Rusk Comming from the Capitol I told Sam That there was no danger of bis becoming corrupted—why said he? because you are like a rotton egg, it is impossable to spoil it, so it is with Sam— Turn it which way you will, It is the Old Sam still, And where eer you do it find, It seeks to Cramp the good mind. Let any honest man turn the living History of Texas, and gain the True facts, as will soon be embodied before The People since 1836, ad be will find Sam the greatest Hypocritical Wretch that has ever passed off for an honest mau sinee our Government was Organized and under him is ranked A’s B’s C’s D’s E’s F's G's aud Houston is the largest Dog of them all, so much for Sam. American Citizens! of every grade, and Condition in life, beware of Sam! for like his Father the Devil he is destined to fall, and — the Devil told po ianir once, He is nevertheless, the — of lies. So although Sam may say some pre’ things, yet he is the prince of Humbugs, and 1s disgrace to humanity, and his own State will repudiate him, and all of bis vile follow- er. Then alass poor Sam! who will be so bumble as to bow to the worse, Than Bacon, € hesterfield, or Old Wolsey, The meanest of wankind.

Beers & Co : Gents—Consider- ations cath | to the afflicted wasengsl ginger 2 me to send you this voluntary testimonial to the great value of ‘‘Carter’s Sponish Mixture,” for that almost incurable disease, Scrofuia. Without being dis; or, ing it to go into the Ls Beano of the case, I can say that the astonishing results that have been pro- duced by the use of that medicine on a member of my own family, and under my own observation and superintendence, after the skill of the best physicians had been exhausted and all the usual remedies had failed, fully justify me in recom- mending {ts use to all who may be suffering from that dreadful malady. Ido not mean to say that it is adapted to all constitutions, or that it will afford the same relief in all cases; for, of course, 1 can know nothing about that—but of what I have seen of the effects, I would not hesitate to use it,in any and every case of Scrofula, with persons for whom I felt an interest, or over whom I could exercise influence or control. Respectfully, yours, H Ino. M. Botts. [coMMUNICATED. SHALL We HAVE A Town CLock ?—To the citizens of Washington: Mr. Editor—Per- init an old resident of Washington, and a sub- seriber to your paper, to oc upy alittle space in your columns, that he may say iomething to the citizens in reference to a public benefit that may accrue to them by the least exertion aud sacrifice on their part. We speak of a Town Clock. The men has been often brought to the notice of our citizens, but the enterprise, for the time being, abandoned from the want of a suitable place to deposit the works. This difficulty is, we hope to show, or soon will be, removed. While on Thirteenth street a few days ago, we noticed the rogress being made in the ereetion and completion of the Baptist Church. The immense timbers on which workmen were engaged in planing, mortising, and making every preparation ne- cessary to a heavy frame work, led us to in- quire for what purpose it was intended. and were informed, that it is the intention of the euterprising building committee to place upon their large aud commodious house a steeple oue hundred and sixty feet high from the base of the eburch, in which will be placed a large bell pbs a 2,163 pounds. Aroom for a clock will be prepared, and the proper circles left in the steeple for four dial plates. These dials will correspond in diameter to the circles (7} feet,) and will be elevaied sixty feet above the level of the street, and over one hundred and fifty feet above the Avenue. They will be plainly seen upon the Avenue. at all the Departments, and, indeed, in every elevated position in the city. _ The striking of the clock could bo heard dis- tinctly at the Capitol, Island, Northern Liber- ties, and Georgetown, thus being beneficial to every portion of the city. It is, we under- stand, the desire of the building committee to place a clock in this steeple, and we know ‘of uo better position. We trust that what efforts may be put forth in reference to the aceom- piushment of this desirable object will meet with the hearty and suéstantial approval of the citizens. This is the only city of any note in the Union that is without a Town Clock, and the question is—shall we have one? You have now an opportunity to decide. Let your decision be—yes! and to that decision add, When cailed upon, a liberal subseription. It is a public benefit—not a sectional interest; but of this, it is unnecessary to say anything, for we would insult your common sense were we to attempt to convince yeu of this. Well, then, if it be a public benefit—and who can deay it ?—iet us have it. A Citizen. [We publish the above at the request of a a a of the Rey. Dr. Teasdale’s eongrega- 200.
