EVENING STAR. LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. Revs? or tas Norrowx ano Porrsmouta Surrenens.—We think it is safe to state that between and six thousand dollars, per- haps fally the last named sum, have been sub- seribed in Washington for that humane pur- pose. Although this ra. be by some ms as sinall, we believe it is as |, as, if not set cod that re a uted any other city, in propo to population. fre Face three-fourths of this amount have been voluntarily tendered, while the remain- der has been collected th: h responsibly ap- pointed ward committees, who, we know, have not called uyon our citizens at large, at their wate residences. Many persons would read- contribute a portion of their substance to Gbaciabtec, properly accredited, would pre- sent himself. We doubt not that ten thousand dollars could be made to form the aggregate amount of subscriptions, in the course of a week. We repeat, the city has not been ly canvassed; as it should have been ere now. But it is not too late to commence that work, 20 imperatively demanded by the distressing circumstances which surround the sufferers in the fever-infeeted districts. Our news columns of to-day contain additional particulars—sickening details—of the dreadful ravages of the disease. Noone can read them without having his sympathies intensely ex- cited, and his feelings of generosity fully aroused There are more than fifty churches in our city; the ministers of which, if they would all go to work, could collect, within three days, atleast a thousand dollars, in the aggregate. Within a period of that many weeks, more than that amount has frequently been raised to build a church for the saving of souls. And is it not reasonable to sup; that as much eruld be collected to save human life, in the Mmanper we : Aid is cosaet ee once! The — of roviding food, and the nesessary attendance rad and the sick, and otherwise distressed, involves an expense of at least twe thousand dollars a day in Norfolk and Portsmouth. Hence the necessity of renewed, ic ac- tion on the part of not only our own, but citi- zens of other localities. Puntic Scnoots.—The Trustees met last evening. Present—Dr. Chas. W. Davis, chair- man ; Messrs. Dickinson, Bacon, Polk, McKim, Peters, AtLee, Knight, and Pearson. Mr. Farley was elected teacher of male pri- mary school, fourth district, vice J. Smith Thomson promoted. Much of the time of the meeting was occu- pied in the consideration of a draft of the an- nual report, and various suggestions were made in regard to it, and it was then recom- mitted The following are the rules adopted in re- gard _to school hours : “The morning session of the public schools shall commence at Sé o'clock a. m., and close at 12 m., except during the months of Novem- ber, December, January, and February, when the session shall commence at 9 a. m. “The afternoon session shall commence at 1} o’clock and close at 44 5 m., exeept during the months of November, December, January and February, when the session shall be closed at 3} p. m. “A recess of ten minutes may be allowed each session.” The secretary was ap aeons to inform the teachers that it would expected that the rules in regard to hours and text books would be carefully observed by them in all respects; otherwise it would furnish cause for immediate removal. A report was received from Mr. Pearson in relation to the late examination of 7 omar for teacherships ; which, on motion of Mr. At- Lee was accepted. Bills for rent and salaries were ordered to be paid by the treasuer when approved by one Trustee. On motion of Mr. Pearson, it was resolved that the teachers shall incur no bills for the care of their respective school roems between the months of May and October inclusive; also that the secretary should provide each school with a Worcester’s Dictionary. On motion of Mr. AtLee, it was resolved that no transfers of pupils shall be made dur- ing the last six months of the school year. ¢ Board then adjourned till Wednesday Dext. Tur Exx Hunt acats.—We are informed by Mr. Clark Milis that his elk, killed so wantonly afew days since by hunters, asexplained in the Star, had not been absent for a length of time, as represented to us, near where the affair took place, but was on his premises and before his door as usual on the evening before the oc- currence; and further, that on the animal's neck was a leather collar three inches broad, that could be seen almost as far as the animal itself. These facts adds to the atrocity and wantoness of the act. The elk was brought here at a heary ex- pense by Mr. Mills to serve a3 a model for a portion of a national statue he is preparing to execute. The loss tv him is very great, and we take it for cranted that he will prosecute those concerned in bringing it (the loss) upon him, should they be worth a suit at law. Axacpote.—We recollect an anecdote of the late Rev. Spencer H. Cone, (the most dis- tinguished Baptist clerzyman of the day who recently diedin New York) which amused us many years ago, and may now be repeated. It is well known that he was a player of ju- venile tragedy before he became a ininister of the gospel. Seeing a former theatrical friend, the veteran wag and comedian, ‘Old Jeffer- fon,” at cbureb, while he was preaching, shortly after he took boly orders, and on the next day, meeting the latter's little daughter, afterwards Mrz. And~rson, long an actress of ;) he inquired wi at her father said of bis sermon. The cbild at :wered, baively enough, “Why, Mr. Cone, Pa says that when you played you preached, but now you preach, you play.”* Szriovs Cuancr.—This morning Mr C. Leh- man was arrested by officer Handy, and taken to the guard-Louse, where he was accused of stealing chickens from a butcher's siall ia the Centre market. At the exemination of the witnesses, the evidence was considered suffi- cient to justify Captain Bireh in holding Mr. Lehman to security for court. The prisoner has always sustained an excellent character for honesty, and feels that this is a severe blight upon his good name. Sexpay Law.—The police officers have been at work again enforcing the city law against selling intoxicating liquors on Sunday. The fine for this offence is not less than ten dol- lars. It can also be punished by the criminal court, and some of the cflicers threaten that if the practice is not stopped, they will earry the cases to that tribunal Preranatioxs.—Notwithstanding there are #0 many vicitors in Washington, nearly all the hotels are undergoing repairs and refitting for the approaching season. Workmen are very busy in order to be ready at the proper time. From these prepsrations wo judge there will be accommodations for all who may visit Washington. At present most of the hotels are entertaining many strangers, many of whom intend to remain ucti after the opening of Congress Mn. Rosset J. LAwxeENsox, mail agent, for- merly of this city, and a son of Mr. James Lawrenson, of the Post Office Department, is among the victims of the late disaster on the Stonington railroad. He sustained a compound fracture of the right leg, and at last accounts was doing well. Fixe axp Costs.—John Fanth was aceused, before Justice Bates this morning, of violating the Sunday law, by selling liquor to various persons. He asked a trial, and when the wit- nesses were produced, there was positive proof of the act. He admitted the truth of the state- ments, and was ordered to pay the fine and costs. Tux Cextae Manker was well supplied with meats, vegetables, and orchard fruits this morning. The prices were about the same as at our last quotations. It continues to be a matter of regret that the country ay are hot provided with suitable accominod: Taz Concent, yesterday afternoon, by the Marine Band on the Capitol grounds, was but thinly attended, as compared with former oc- casions. The season for outdoor concerts is pearly over Markerers, every night before market day, are much troubled by gangs of worthless men and boys, who lounge about their stands, and seek every opportunity to pilfer their fruit, vegetables, chickens, and oven sometimes their money. Some more efficient protection than as at present provided should be afforded these worthy people, who, after coming a long dis- tance, are prevented from taking the hour’s rest they so much need before commencing the busy duties of the day. Norrneen Lingrtias Fire Company —Mr. E. J. Evans resigned, last night, his office as — of this company. The vacancy is to e filled at the annual meeting in January next.

Up to the time of closing this letter, our elec- tion is moving on very quietly. Mr. Jas. God- dard was, lest night, nominated by the Know Nothings, instead of Mr. Godey, whom it was supposed would be the candidate. Mr. God- dard is one of our most enterprising mechan- ies, and would doubtless make a very excel- lent member; but from present indicat ions, we think he will be completely overwhelmed, and totully routed by the superiority (in point of numbers) of the English or civil and religious forces. As we remarked, on a former occa- sion, the anti-Know Nothings are wide awake, thoroughly aroused, and quite sanguine of electing their candidate air. English) by a decided majority. Capt. Brown and R. P. Dodge, Esq., are getting the timber in place for the construction of the wharves which they intend to use asa coal oy The work will probably be com- pleted by the early part of the ensuing spring, when the company which has leased dom will commence operations in good earnest. A. Rosg Ray has a property costing about $13,560, sold by Barnard & Buckey, auctioneers, located near that of Messrs. Brown & Dodge, which is also to be used as a coal depot by a company of which Mr. Ray is president. The work of prepnration will be commenced here very soon, so we may antici pate having two extensive coal companies in operation before the close of the next year. Messrs. Barnard & Buckey, anetioneers, of- fered yesterday afternoon a number of vacant lots for sale—the whole of which were with- drawn—the bids not reaching a point to jus- tify the sale of them. Neuriy all of them are located near the out-let lock of the canal, con- tiguous to the basin. A protracted meeting is now in progress at the barton street Methodist Episcopal Church. Impressive and interesting sermons are | age nearly every evening by the Rev. Mr. rooke, the pastor, and quite a lively interest seems to be taken in the exercises by the mem- bership. No change in the flour or grain market since our last. Small sales of the former yesterday at $3.75, Srecrator. ALEXANDRIA CORRESPONDENCE. ALEXANDRIA, Sept. 6, 1855. The travel over the Orange and Alexandria Railroad still continues very large. This morning's train carried up a large number of passengers. The County Court yesterday, after an exam- ination of the ease of Commonwealth vs. Jef- ferson, for stabbiag Breen, sent the prisoner on for trial at the next term of our Circuit Court Much feeling bas been excited here by the removal of Col. 8. King Shey from the posi- tion of Principal cf the Alexandria Free School. Col. S. has been in charge of this establish- ment for sixteen year? and the Board of Guar- dians, in every report during that time, have given to him the most flattering commenda- uons. The city authorities are but the trustees of the school fund, which, unless we mistake, is a bequest of the Father of his Country, and however high party animosity has hitherto run, no attempt hes been made to give the slightest partisan character to this sacred trust. Indeed, the removal is the work of but two out of five of the Board of Guardians; only three being present at the meeting, and one of those voting for Col. S. The old town house of Gen. Washington, on Cameron street, is now in ruins, having been torn down by its present owner to make room for a finer building. The grain and flour market is dull with de- clining rates.

Henry, who headed a party of filibus- ters, Titles from New Lerado: Webb county, to the San Antonio Sentinel that he failed to enter Mexico at Eagle Pass from want of suf- ficient force to protect those who desired to pronounce against Santa Anns. He complains that persons whom he expected to follow him have deceived him. His party numbers about forty men, and they were about to join the army of Vidauri. i In the Boletin Official of the 7th inst., isa letter from Col. Emilio Langberg, a German by birth, who has resided a long time in Mex- ico, and who has been chosen leader by the’ pronunciados of Monelova and the neighbor- log towns of Coahuila. He offers to raise a corps of 1.500 men, principally German, from the neighborhood of San Antonio and New Braunsfels, but it is not thought probable that Vidauri will accept any more foreiga ald until it becomes absolutely necessary. Indeed, he has so expressed himself. Langberg was formerly an I. tor of Col- onfes in Chihuahua, from whonce he was driven hy Santa Anns, and he has recently Leen & tesident of your vity.
