Hitt, Esge.—On Wednesday lust I addressed two interrogatories to you through the columns of the Star, as follows : ‘Whether, some twelve months or more since, you (Silas H. Hill) did not, in cone versation with friends, express dissatisfaction and disgust with the American party both on account of its principles and of the char- acter of the individuals who made up the aggregate of that party; and, furthermore, whether your resignation, as a member of that party, was not written for presentation or publication, and, for some reasons best known to yourself, withheld ?”’ and. I added, ‘‘ Your failure to reply to these interrogatories will be regarded as an admission of the facts in- timated in them.”’ You have failed to respond ; but call on me through an editorial in the Organ to apply to you personally for the information I seek. If it was for my own satisfaction, I would pur- sue that course; but I desire your public re- ply for the information of our fellow citizens generally. So far as I am myself concerned, 1 am satisfied of the fact that aboat the time of the last city election, you did speak in de- nunciatory terms of the American party ; and, furthermore, that your resignation, as a mem- ber of the order, was written out, but with- held. Do you deny it? It Frere Riors.—Saturday night o row oc- curred on Seventh street near G, which caused great uneasiness among the residents in that vicinity. Members of several fire companies were engaged. No serious damage was sus- tained. Bricks were thrown, pistols fired, and there was a great noise, but no arrests were made. Last night another row occurred on Fourteenth street, stones were flying in every direction. The citizens near the scene of ac- tion had to close their windows and doors to protect their families from danger. Two men were arrested at this place by Watchmen Moceabee and Clements, and taken to the Guard house, whore they were ordered to pay @ fine and costs for throwing stones, and held to security to keep the peace twelve months. Another was arrested for using rallying cries He was fined. Several small boys were sent to the cells for being in the crowd, but were afterwards dismissed. We have been asked, ‘is there any law to prevent fire riots?’” Oh yes, there is law in abundance. Tue Oprortunity —The seekers after de ligbtful and innoeent amusement, of both sexes, should not forget the fair at the new church near “ The Glebe’’ farm, in Alexan- dria county, Va , commencing this afternoon, which is to continue all the week. Extraor- dinary preparations for the entertainment of a large number of visitors from the three cities of Washington, Georgetown, and Alex- andria have been made, including a concert, tableaux, or an address every evening. The roads are in fine condition, the distance just right for a drive out after 5 p.m, and a re- turn by moonlight after poh ee the evening there The way from either of the three cities is by Ball’s Cross Roads, from which the AN AMERICAN.

Mr rkriter, a3 is well known to his friends, ia not only a — and most reliable busi ness man, but he bas likewise a fine artistic taste, which makes him an excellent adviser to all who are in need of paper hangings or decorations, and likewise accounts for the ex- quisite beauty of his stock of goods. But what we started to call attention to more es- pecially, is his collection of colored engra- vings, which being mounted upon canvass and varnished, have so close a resemblance to oil paintings as to deceive in some instances the mest experienced eye. We would advize the curious in such matters to give them an examination. Mr. Markriter’s place is No. 500 Seventh street.

It will consequently require but one wire and one operator at any given point, to send and receive as much business as can be transmitted by the aid of 4 or 5 operators and an equal number of wires under the Morse system. Another equally rtant peculiarit; - nected with the Hug! invention is the u doubted fact that it will work fectly in all states of the atmosphere; neither mist, rain, nor snow having any perceptible effect upon it Therefore at seasons when the Morse and House instruments are utterly powerless, even in circuits of fifty miles, there is every reason to believe that the Hughes instrument will work reliably in one or two thousand miles. The simplicity and durability of the new machine will compare favorably with the Morse, and is vastly superior, in these respects, to the House invention The “ape ie ciple of this invention is wholly dii ar to tnat of the Morse, House, and all other tele- graph instruments, and consequently there can be no difficulty on the score of the patent, which, we understand, has been sold to the American Telegraph Company, (a new asso- ciation having its head quarters in this city, but com; of genticmen of the highest respectability in different sections of the United States, and the British North Ameri- ean provinces, and of which it is sufficient to say that Peter Cooper, Esq , is the President, and Wilson G.
