What is it? Can it bea term used to desig- nate peculiar, individual qualities on accom- lisbments of man’s mental or physical being, or is it applicable im # more general and ex- tended sense! A correspondent, writing on this subject, leans mos*;decidedly to the latter tion of the term, saying: ‘‘ Character is the invariable principle which influences the whole life of man, which governs every act, controls every impulse, modifies and reg ulates every passion, and indelibly impresses an influence upon every thought and every object of life. It is the mentor and rule of social, political and domestic association, and is as inseparable in all their conditions as the soal itself from immortality, giving guidance to humanity and a bias to every exercise. The discernment of character, therefore, in our associates and friends, when we descend to its particular action, becomes an intricate study; it is too intimately connected with the imperfections of humanity to admit of caleu- Jation or arrangement ; indeed, considered in this connection, it may be regarded as erratic in its exhibition. Uander this view, therefore, should we not rather regard character in its neralities than in its particularities, and en- deavor in our examination to establish as an inate principle, despite the nymerous deflec- tions from the D obras therecf in the daily intercourse of li ie!” 1 {ue District IN THE OLDEN Tive.—The following letter, exhumed from the -musty records, will be interesting to our réaders. While perusing it, we would suggest that they institute a comparison with what was then icted and w bat has since been accomplish- ed. Asfor the elegance and strength of the Federal bridge, however, they will readily form their own conclusions. « G@goreetows, (Md.) August 8, 1792. “On Saturday, the 4th instant, the corner scone on the western abutment of the Federal pridge (being the second eorner-stone of the same) was laid in due form by Uriah Forrest, Mayor of this town, in presence of the Alder- men, the Recorder, and Common Council, attended by 2 numerous concourse of respect- able citizens of the place, who assembled on theoecasion. After the ceremony was over the company returned to Mr. Sater’s Fountain Inn, where a handsome entertainment was given by the Mayor tothe workmen and others concern- ed inerecting the bridge. « S correspondent observes that it must afford gencral satisfaction to every well-wisher of the prosperity of Washington to be assured that the public works now being carried on in this lace are conducted with spirit snd enterprise, und at the same time with that due regard to economy W absolutely necessary in all extensive public undertakings when acountry isbut in its infaney. The Federal bridge, whieh will exceed. when finished, for clegance and strength, anything of the kind heretofore attempted in this country, will be completed in a few weeks, and it is confidently expected that, against the day in October next which is advertised for the sale of lots in the city, the Superiotendent of the President's house will have all matters in readiness for the laying of the corner-stone of the samo, (the third in the Federal city.) which will afford the gentlemen concerned in the superintendence of the Fed- eral buildings and those who are proprietors of land in the city an opportunity of displaying their taste in the brilsiancy of a third proces- sion, and of exhibiting their liberality in au entertainment suitable to the ceeasion, which may be a further inducement to purchasers, a thereby bencfit themselves as well as contribute to the honor and future prosperity of the city of Washington.” S Tue Praxixe Mitt —The planing mill of Fitzhugh, Coyle & Bro, concerning which there is an advertisement in this afiernoon’s Star, isan affair well worth a visi readers who have not yet witnessed the work- ing of a planing machine, one of the most im- portant, becanse most serviceable, labor-say- ing inventions of the era. It is constructed under the celebrated patent of Mr. Beardsley, of Albany, N. Y., which combines all the real improvem to planing machines invented since the celebrated Woodworth patent was originally granted. As will be perceived from the advertisement, the completeness of the es- tablishment of the Messrs. Coyle enable them to offer for sale capitally planed lumber, of every variety, at low prices. Sgxexape.—Onur friend, Col Joe Shilling- ton, was favored, last night, by his friends, with a congratulatory serenade, in honor of his return from a three months’ tour in Europe. The Colonel's well known amiable qualities and ability as a true-hearted friend, and an enterprising, publie-minded citizen, have just- ly entitled him to be the recipient of such marks of the esteem in which he is held by all who know him. Several others of our highly respected citizens were also serenaded, among whom were Dr. Magruder, Col. McNair, J. L. Clubb, Gaorge Parker, &e. The Marine Band, led by Prof. Esputa, were out in full force, and as usual made night delightful with their strains of exquisite harmony.
