On motion the Mayor was appointed chairman of this committee. Dr. Joseph N Schoolfield haying been calied on to address the meeting. said that his wife and himself had just recovered from the yel- Jow fever, and bad come to her home to rest for a few days to recruit theirexhausted health and strength; but it washis purpose to return on Tuesdsy to share the labors and the ser- rows of his afflicted friends ard neighbors in Portsmouth. He hastily depicted sorrowing scenes of distress and death to which he had been an eye-witness, and heartily approved the appointment of a permanent relief com- mittee; saying in conclusion, *‘ the fever now appears to be abating, now that it lacks mate- A operate upon ; but the end is not yet. Mavy who have left their homes, deceived by the apparent decline in the disease, or driven into the jaws of death by the destitution that they may elsewhere experience, will prema- turely return to Portsmouth during the ap- proaching forty, or even sixty days and you may then find much for the hand of charity to form.” A subscription paper was passed round, and liberal contributions were made. Alderman J. P. Pepper offered the following resolutiod : Resolved, That it is the decided opinion of this meeting that an appropriation of ——, made by the corporate authorities of this city out of the general fund, would mevi the cor- dial approbation of the citizens of this city for the relief of the sufferers at Norfolk and Ports- mouth. Mr Jacob Gideon moved to fill the blank with the sum of five thousand dollars, which was agreed to, and the resolution was adopted; and, on motion of Mr. Rateliff2, 2 committee of three was ordered to present the subject of the foregoing reeclution to the city authorities, when the fuliowing gentlemen were appointed: Messrs. Pepper, Pieasants, aud Gideon. The Mayor remarked that he presumed the question would be asked: ‘‘ Where is the mo- ney to come from?’’ to which Mr. Jacob Gideon prompily responded, ‘‘ Let the Coun- eils vote the money, and Ell | - funds shall be immediateiy fortheomiag.”’ After further proceedings, it was resolved that the pastors of the several churches of the city be requested to take up collections in aid of this cause; and that the ladies of the city be invited to lend their uid in soliciting money and clothing.

Tar Hackuxn.—This is the day set apart by the hackmen of Washington for their con- tribution to the fund for the relief of the Nor folk and Portsmouth sufferers. The propo- sition, voluntarily made by them, is not only creditable to them as a cl. but honorable to them as individuals, especially as they are Bow passing through the dulicst season of the Year. Itis not too late, we trust, to urge on our citizens the luxury of an cxtra ride, or, if some people have not leisure for such @ reere- ation, the handing of the fare to the men who have thus gencrously stepped fourth to aid the afflicted. They will not regret a trifle toward ® cause which eloquently appeals to the better feelings of Lumanity. “The hackmen, doubt- less, want a large collection, and wish to set an example which shall be followed by persons engaged in similar business throughout the country We may here We 1 say that in no city of the Union is there a more orderly, accommodating and honest class of inen employed in hacking, and it is with pride we thus speak. ‘There- fore, ye considerate and generous soul, help on this day to gladden their hearts, while ye in- directly contribute toa noble cause—that of humanity. Rariroap Accipest —On Saturday evening, as the last train from Baltimore to Washington was passieg Hanover switch, twelve miles from the first named city, the engine struck a ball and threw it from the track. The animal, stunned by the biow, immediately fell back between the wheels of the baggage cars, and removed it, with another car, entirely from the rails, which were partislly torn up by the force of the displaced wheels. It is due to state that as soon as the cows Were perceived on the track, (upwards of fifty ards ahead) the whistle was blown and the reak immediately put down, but th+ proxim- ity of the train to the animals rende:ed a eol- lision inevitable. The first news which we received of the oc- currence, was on Saturday evening, the loco- motive having arrived here alone, for a train of cars in which to transport the passengers to this eity. They arrived between twelve and one o'clock at night. It affords us pleasure to state that no person was injured, although the conductor made a narrcw escape from the baggage car. A Rewarp op Oxg Husprep Dotxars, it will be seen by an advertisement in to-day’s Star, will be ey by Mr. A H. Markland for — —— as — enable him to find is father, who, a week ago, left his residence in this city, and since which time he has heard concerning him. Wasainetox Ligat Ixpaxtry.—This sterl- ing old meh which, for nearly twenty years, has upheld the honor and reputation of the city, and been the nucleus around which the ‘iment has been formed, have eom- pleted their arrangements for the celebration of the twentieth anniversary onthe 12th inst., and it is expected will parade with full ranks on that day to receive from the hands of Jonah D. Hoover, -, marshal of the United States, &@ magnificent flag, the gift of a number of our public spirited citizens. We have been afforded a view of this flag, and can assure our readers that it is a beaut ful one, exceeding in size any we have yet seen inourcity. It isa simple American flag, made of rich silk; the pole is of leaeeweol’ surmounted by a sper, and decorated with silver. Itisa sey tribute to the liberality of the donors, as well as a high compliment to the company. _ The company is now in a flourishing condi- tion, and it is hoped that, under the auspices of its present worthy commander, James Y. Davis, it will soon resume its station of being the “‘ crack corps’’ of this city. This oun pany have a very fine set of tents, which, we learn, they intend to offer to the refugees from Norfolk and Portsmeuth, to be used by them in forming the village of canvas recently commenced near Hampton. A Goop Exampie.—A small lad this morn- ing called at our office, and left a twenty-five cent piece, saying he wished it to be added to the fund for the relief of the Norfolk and Portsmouth sufferers. It was all he had, and (though of comparative insignificant value) was, this circumstance considered, truly a no- ble contribution, and indicated a generous spirit—a heart ‘to feel for others’ woes.” ow, as there are many boys and girls simi- larly disposed, we shall take great pleasure in receiving what they have to give, no matter what may be the sums—as well as the contri- butions of adults—and place the money in proper hands fer transmission to the fever-in- tecied districts. Liserat Resroxse.—The hands employed on the Washington aqueduct contributed, on Friday, the suia of two hundred and fifty do!- lars for the Portsmouth and Norfolk cuffere . Some who receive but a dollar a day for their honest toil, as laborers, contributed, each, three dollars to that philanthropic object. The mere announcement of this fact carries with it a commentary in the highest degree eule- gistic of those poor but generous laborers. Mr. Rorert J. Lawrenson died on Satar- day, from the injuries received on the Stoning- ton railroad. The intelligence is well caleu- lated to afflict his many friends, who loved him for his manly virtues. He was thirty-two years of age, and has left a widow and fur children. is remains arrived in Washington this morning under the charge of his father, Mr. James Lawrenson. The funeral will take piace from Wesley Chapel this afternoon at 4 o’elock, CoLLectTions FOR THs Virginia SurPzR- ERS.—Notice was given by the metor of St. John’s church, Rev. Smith Pyne, on Sunday, the second of September, that the collections of the month would be devoted to the relief of the sufferers in Norfolk and Portsmouth. On that day, the collections amounted to $30, and, on the ninth instant, to $120 03; thus far $150.03; which sum has been sent to Balti- more to purchase supplies for the above named cities. Yesterday the Wesley Chapel congregation contributed a little over two hundred dollars To show what may be done in a small way, Messrs. Thomas 0. Hills and W. M. Leishear started, at nine o’clock this morning, a twer- ty-five cent subscription, and bef2re jnoon cole fected thirty dollars. They will receive a ike amount from any one, at the Washington store, Louisiana avenue, between Eizhta and Ninth streets. More Alp —Mevrsrs.

Miuitary Visit axp Parape Postroxep.— We tearn that in view of the death of the mother of Mr. Joun A. Washington, the pro- prietor of Mount Vernon, the fifty-third regi- ment of Maryland volunteers will defer their visit thither to « fature occasion. £0 far, therefore, as our military is eoncerned, there will be no order issued for their parade on the afternoon of the twelith instant, as contem- plated. A Musician Daav.—Raphaei R. Friay, for nineteen years leader of the Marine Band, has departed this life. The obituary notice in to- day’s paper states the time of his burial. He was respected as a man possessed of noble, generous traits of character, and deservedly enjoyed a high reputation as a musician. Caup-Mretixe —Colored foiks held acamp- mecting near Seagy’s place, yesterday. There was a large attendance of persons, both while and black, from this city and the surroundi: g country. We learn that a disturbance took place on the ground between two individuels one white and the other colored, and that the latter was severely cut by the former. Some Contemprisce Vesticg or HeManity entered the Methodist Protestant church, Ninth street, on Saturday night or Sunday morning, and not only stole the books out of the choir, but left traces of hischaracter which assimilate him to the lowest order of brutes.

Gzorcrrown, Sept. 10, 1858, The little excitement consequent upon our election on Thursday has nearly died away. The victoriors party seem to bear the blush- ing honors of their brilliant victory with all becoming modesty, and the defeated with as much patience as could be expected under the trying circumstances. Now and then we hear # laughable and biting joke about the matter which seems to be enjoyed by the moderate og both parties. Among them, we will notice two. On Friday, as we were going along, one of our functionaries requested us to infurm the | ary that the good people of Georgetown ad formed such an excellent opinion of “Sam,’’ (over the left,) and knowing him to be a Yankee by birth and raising, they feasted him so high on corn bread and molasses on Thursday, as to bring on a violent attack of cholera morbus, and although he had to at- tend him, during his illness, skilful doctors of the intellect, of law, and physic, the poor fel- low expired, in great agony, about 9 o’clock at night. Another wag swore he was not dead; that he saw him about sunset going at light- ning speed in the direction of Rockville, with his boots run down at the heel, coat and hat gone, covered all over with sweat and dust, swearing eternal vengeance against the light of all Stars, annoying bells, (Beall,) Kings, and Englis Fare thee well, Sammy! An individual by the name of Kenedy, a laborer at the Washington Aqueduct, was murdered on Thursday last. Before he died, he charged two persons with being the perpe- trators of the foul deed. They have been ar- rested and lodged in the jail at Rockville, Md., and will be examined upon the ch: before a Magistrate s Court to-day. The fracas which led to this sad result, originated at one of the many low groggeries which have been focated in the neighborhood of the work. We learn from one of the clerks at the Water Works, = the Great zu) that the hands employed upon it, contributed on Friday last $230 for the relief of the Norfolk and mouth sufferers. Some of the laborers who Feceive only $1 per for their hard ser- vices, contributed us high as $3 a piece. Our citizens generally will doubtless be pleased to learn that our former ly es- teemed fellow citizen, the Rev. Thos. Sewall, now stationed in Winchester, Va., will preach in the Dumbarton street Methodist church, on to-morrow, (Tuesday) evening, at 7} o'clock. The flour market closed on Saturday, with a better feeling than had been visible in it daring the week, and with a slight advance in prices over our quotations on that day. Small sales at ‘$1.75a87.873, as in quality, Buyers offer freely the first named price for itasdapa extra superfine brands, but holders are asking $7.873, at which price buyers do not seem anx- ions to purchase to any extent. Wheat active and in demand at $1.55a$1.60 for red, and $1 60a$1.65 for white, of good qualities. No change in corn or oats. SpEcTator. ALEXANDRIA CORRESPONDENCE. ALEXANDRIA, Sept. 10, 1955. The bar of Alexandria in public meeting on the afternoon of Saturday passed appropriate resolutions expressing regret for the death of Judge Cranch, homage to his talents, and re- spectto his memory. Yesterday was a lovely day. Most of our churches gathered very large congregations at morning and afternoon services.
