EVENING STAR. LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. Am To Tae Arriicrep.—The workmen in the employ of Prevost, Winter & Company, upon the Capitol extension and the Patent Of- fice, have subscribed the sum of $176 for the relief of the distressed at Norfolk and Ports- mouth. On their own account they added $160, the entire amount to be divided equally between the two cities. The money will be forwarded without delay to the sufferers for whose relief it was constituted. In the lan- guage of the National Intelligencer, * it pre- sents not gold from the treasures of the wealthy, but that which has been earned in the sweat of the brow of each of the donors. It is the offering of men who are ever among the fure- most in acts of beneficence, and upon whom the reliance of their country may be reposed with confidence in every hour of aeol oad every trying emergency.” We learn that the congregation of St. Mat- thew’s Church contributed yesterday the sum of $325 for the same charitable object; ex hibiting a lovely feature of Christiansympathy for the afflicted. The ate amount col- lected at the Washington navy yard is $395.87. A Doe, we ane ToLD.—On Saturday night two young men, and one who might have been their parent, entered the trial room of the guard bi rather hastily, and anxiously in- quired if the Captain was in. Being answered in the negative, the elder gentleman remarked that his companions were desirous of prevent- ing a duel between two of their friends. The ehallenge had E d, and a hostile mect ing would certainly take place if the law did not interfere to prevent it. Justice Morsell was sent for and arrived; but he discovered that the witnesses had gone in search of him The Justice waited and had a short conversa- tion with the e'derly gentleman, who also re- tired shortly after his conversation ceased. Tie witnesses have not yet returned to the guard house, and, it is supposed, never will be caught in that trap again. One of them made a remark, rather incautiously, which, if it had been made on oath before a magistrate, would have given all the parties to the affair an op- portunity to learn a trade under the instruc- tion of certain United States agents. If we mistake not, a// the parties toan “affair of honor’’ in this District are liable to indictment under the Congressional anti-ducling law. It is generally believed by those acquainted with what took place on Saturday night, that more wine than blood will be spilled in the settlement of the difficulty. Taz Excursion to Piney Porst, on Thurs- day last, of the American Riflemen, was one of the most pleasant and delightful of the sea- son, as we learn from oneof the party—every- thing passing off most agreeably, and reflect- ing wuch credit upon the commitice of arrange- ments who got up the programme for the day's enjoyment. The fine steamer Baltimore, Capt. Reynolds, carried the party down. ar riving at the Point in six hours and three-quarters from Washington. On arriving they dispersed to amuse themselves, each to his taste, some in fishing and bathing, &e., while others kept up the dance, the fine pavilion being filled with the votaries of Terpsichore. The party re- mined at the Point until a late hour in the afternoon. On their passage up the boat was overtaken by a storm when near the Lower Cedar Point light-boat, the rain falling in tor- rents and compelling the boat to come-te and remain so for about 2 haif an hour. They ar- rived safe at home about 12 0’closk at night, highly pleased with their trip, and expressing their approbation of the wunner in which everything was conducted. The companies represented were the National Guard, Boon+ Rines, President's Mounted Guard, Montzo.n- ery Guards, and others not recollected. Cox Jox Sainuisetox.—Our esteemed and enterprising fellow citizen, who is now making the tour of Europe, is, according to the private accounts, enjoying himself fine iting the principal cities, and participating in all the enjoyments compatible with bis gallant but modest character. We take this opportu nity to say we doubt the rumor that the main object of his visit to ‘‘ father-land’’ was to get Limeelf a wife. as (whether with justice or not We cannot say, it hus all along been reported that he was mule an unwilliug captive to the charms of a fair Washingtonian befors he left the city. Time, however, will verify ur con- tuudict the assertion. As our friend Joe is observant of men and things, we may anticipate that he will enable us, on his return, to present to the public sone of his notes of travel, including his items taken in the camp of the Allies before Sebastopol ! Tae Cawp Meeting on the Bladensburg Circu t was largely attended esterday; not a few people from this city aad the surrounding neighbcrhood being present. The roads ull asy were lined with vehicles, ard especially Was this the cause on the return, in the evening. The handsome, fashionsi le carriage the ordi- nary buggy, and the rough count: wagon, Were alike called into requisition by the re- Spective passengers. Some gentlemen, with fast teams, exhibited the running properties of their nags, to the shame or mortification, ig on of those were compellel, owing to eir invalid horse flesh, to jog 2loug at a slow ace. The rain falling in the evening put a ‘ainper on the camp congregation, so far as Outside exercises were concerned. Taz Concuaian Baptist Assoctatios, re- cently in session iu Alexandria, adjourned, on Saturday. to meet next August with the Pleasant Vale Church, Virgiaia. Previous to the adjournment, they held an especial season of prayer in behalf of the yel- low fever sufferers ii Portsmouth and Nor- folk—the services being deeply solemn and impressive. Forty-two dollars were collected from among the ministers, although many of the delegates had left for their homes. _ Tas Prince WittiaM Faru.—All who have city property which they would like to ex- ehange for very desirable property in the country, are invited to look at the advertise- ment of a farm for sale in Prince William county, Virginia, in to-day’s Star. It is a rutiful aud very desirable estate, and we understand that the proprietor, having deter- Mined to go into business in this city, will sel! or exchange it at a great bargain, indecd. Arpce Jevty.—Mrs. H. Gildemeister, the lady who reveived the first premium at the Mechanic’s Institute Fair, has commenced the manufacture of the jelly at twenty cents a pound—and a very nice article indeed, it is. * Answer to rae Exiga 1n Fripay’s Star. Several correspondents unite in the conclusion that the auswer is, “ Hard times come again bo more.”’ = [communicaTeD. ong Aip.—The collections taken up yes- terday at St. Matthew's Catholic ak we are gratified to learn, amounted to $325.46. Soeeatiog the numerous calls made for the Jame purpose in every quarter of the city, and the number of persons pope town, this plans speaks well for the liberality of the congregza- tion at St. Matthews. How quictly and solidly the Catholics answer objections. Their Sisters of charity are maligned; they send them to the very home of the cxlumniator to labor in their calliog of labor and merey. Their el are charged with callous crime of every kind and their priests answer it by their consoling presence in the chamber of pestilence, and on fearless endurance of every privation ‘heir people are sang and attacked ; they answer it by displaying charity towards their fellow-citizens in word and deel. One week since the Sunday collections at St. Patrick’s church, in this city, amouuted to $250 for the benefit of the yellow fever suf- ferers at Norfolk and Portsmouth, and yester- day, as we have said $325 were raised for the urpese. Probably nearly as much more din the other Catholic churshe? of Thi as it should be. Lat} the Di bh why do not the politico-religious lead faction essay to riva! this generous charity Have “tuey no influence, except for evil—no power, except to persecute? We would all get along in better humor and accomplish life's purposes with more usefulness, by having no rivairy but in doing good, and judging of bodies of men as we do of individuals—by their acts, rather than their words—by the effects of their principles, rather than the dee- Ja-ations of the prejudiced or the partial. TREATMENT oF YELLow Fever.—We cheer- fully publish the following communication from the late steward of the steamer Fremont, having confidence in the statement of the writer: _ Wasuixeton, August 27, 1855, Mr. Editor: I would recommend, by your wission, a simple remedy for yellow fever. was steward of the steamer Fremont, and on the trip from New York to California we put into Blo Janeiro for coal. We were detained there fifteen days, and during that time we had several cases of yellow fever. There was no doctor on board, but we had « very fine medicine chest. Knowing that sailors were hardy and strong men, I gave them a double dose; for example, tw. |; wine glasses of caster oil, and one tot, or half agill of brandy; then wrapped them with two or three blankets, and they were well men in three or four days. I would advise persons who have not the fever, ia the infected districts, to teke a simple or common dose of castor oil and brandy, mixed, which will be found to be one of the best pre ventives of yellow fever. I have so much confidence in this remedy, that I would wil- lingly adventure to Noriulk to-morrow, in the first boat. Yours, respectfully, AMES WORMLEY. Ex parte—Jvuis Exiza Pieusit ox HABEAS Corpus.—This interesting case occupied the attention of his honor Judge Morsell, in the City Hall, on Friday last, from 10 o'clock, a m., until 4 p. m., and was then adjourned to 10 a. m., to-day, and was again adjourned until 10 a. m., on Friday next, in consequence of the indisposition of Col. M. Thompson, the counsel for the respondent. In this case, Stephen B. Plumsil and his wife (the father ¢ other of Julia Eliza, an infant at the breast) have separated, and the father having —— of the cree the ee gas by as corpus to obtain possession of it, which is vehemently resisted by the father.” Deep feeling is evinced on both sides, and much in- terest felt by the friends of the parties. The trial, it is supposed, will occupy two or three more days. James, auias Duwpsey Jorpanx.—This col ored individual was arrested by officer Stod- dard upon the charge of breaking up furniture belonging to his quasi spouse. Dumps y tried hard to get out, of the offize:’s hands, but finding that bribes and struggles were insuffi- cient to secure au escape he went to the guard house and was sent to jail by Capt. Birch. Potomac Pavitiox.—Many families now at the Potomac Pavilion intend to remain there, we learn, throughout the month of Septem- ber; finding the bathing good, the fishing ex- cellent, and the climate propitious to health. Theretore. the proprietor intends keeping oper uis establishment during the running of the Potomac steamers. ~ AMERICAN ScrENtiric AssoctaTion.—At the late meeting, in Providence, Kk.

The collection at Trinity (Catholic) Church, yesterday. to aid the sufferers in tho yellow fever district, amounted to the handsome sum of about $150. The wiie of Mayor Woodis, of Norfolk, is now in our city, stopping with the family Esau Pickrell The transactions in flour continue light, confined almost entirely to the retail trade; and owing to the very small quantity cffering holders ure asking $8.624a89. The general impression is, however that as soon as trad: upon the Canel is fully resumed, (now that the break is repaired,) and flour and wheat begin to arrive ia anything like large quan- tities, that a coasiderable decline in prices must neoceszarily occur.

The steamer Orisaba acrived at New Or- leans on Saturday, with dates from Vera Cruz to the 23d inst. Santa Anna left the City of Mexico on the 9th inst., with an escort of 2,500 men, and signed his abdication at Perote. Heembarked on the 17th inst., at Vera Cruz for Havana. Two days after he left Mexico seven or eight hundred of his escort revolted; killing one or two of their officers. They then joined the iu- surgents. he Alvarez platform has been adopted. Gen. Carre is provisional President of Mexico, and La Vega commander-in-chief of the army All the State prisoners had been liberated. A mob kad gutted a large number of houses, including that of Santa Anna’s mother-in-law. The appointment of Senor Vidal, as minis- ter to the United States (who comes a passen- ger in the Orizaba) is revoked. A fight oceurred at Vera Cruz between two revolted battalions and a regiment that con- tinued faithful to Santa Anna. The former were beaten and leftin the mountains. Fif- teen or twenty were killed before order was restored. es Two Week Later from California. The United States mail steamship, George Law arrived in New York on Saturday, bring- ings California mails of August 1, $1,235,616 in treasure on freight, and 442 passengers, all in good health. HOSTILE OPERATIONS AT PETROPAULOWSKI. The most important views relates to the oper- ations of the allied fleets of the northwest coast. They consisted of eight war ve-sels and steamers, and arrived off Petropaulow- ski, on the 15th day of May, but the garri- son had already left for the Amoor river, in the Russia frigate Aurora, corvette Dwina and two merchant vessels. The escape of the gar- rison was was a master stroke on the part of the Russians, who availed themselves of 2 dense fog which set in on the night of the 17th of April, and so eluded the English war steam- ers Encounter (serew) of 14 guns, and Bara counter (side wheel) of 6 guns, which had been blockading the harbor for fifty day- previous. The orders to evacuate were re- — from the Russian head quarters in Si- eria On anchoring in the harbor, a detachment was sent on shore by the commanders of the fleets—Rear Admirar Bruce, of the English. and Rear Admirar Fourichon (a newly-ap- pointed and exceedingly energetic man of only forty-five y@trs of age,) of the French. They landed and found the town deserted, save by about one hundred Kamschatka dogs, a French naturalized American, and two Americans, who raised the stars and stripes over their houses when the forces landed, claiming that as the Russians had abandoned the place and left it to them, they were the possessors of the soil. These men are engaged in trading, and are represented as doing a good business. The dogs are in a starving condition, and followed the invaders about town for bits of biscuit. One of them was brought away by Commender Rozencoat, of the Obligado. 7 The parties wero divided into companies, who proceeded to burn, blow up and destroy the arsenals, storehouses and all government buildings. Not a vestige of any public work | was left standing, except the hospital, which, wita the church and dwellings of the poorer classes of the inhabitants, was left untouched. The ivhabitants commenced deserting the place shortly after the garrison embarked. Accompanied by the authorities, they started ‘on or about the 20th of April toward Tehinsk ; but the Governor’s wife being enciente the flight continued only to the small fishing vil- lage of Avache, some twenty miles inland. The following day after the arrival of the Allies, the destruction of the fortificateion commenced. These were fascines constructed of imménse logs—the walls being sixteen feet in thickx@.s. Such was their strength they Paw ee ee for some time, and a oal'y razed to the und by the agency 0! powder. It appears that the licy of the Russian Government had chan rather sud- denly in this matter. After the battle of last year, orlers came for stren, thening the forts, and though at that time auch a resistance was made as to repel its assailants, there being but one tier of guns, it was ordered to increase it to a double tier. The destroyers found embrasures for 51 guns of beavy calibre. Why this sudden change of policy took place, may perhaps, be explained by thacon which the Russians have always asted—of retiring into the interior from their invaders, and avoiding decisive engagements. This time, however, they have made nothin, by the movement, and with the increa: streagth of the place, it would seem that they might have ml amore obstinate resistance than before. The fleets did not leave the place until the demolition was complete. The fleets have gone to cruise for the present among the Aleutian islands. and will Leaded took in at Sitka. An English and a Frene squadron have proceeded by the China Sa to the mouth of the Amoor river, where, the dis- pateh says, there will soon be severe fighting. There are about ten ships of war in these fleete, which would be joined by the steamer Brisk, now at Petropaulowski The line-of-battle- ship Monarch is the flag ship of the English set. i> A Card.—W.
