“ BrcwANAN AND Baeckiyeipce Cics.—At a epecial meeting of the Buchanan Democratic Gia» of the District of Columbia, held on Wednesday evening, June 25th, the following pamed gentlemen, upon the nominatiou of the gommittee appointed for that purpose, were goamimously chosen to compose the executive ittee Chath S. Wallach, chairman ; William B. Mi der, Walter Lenox, Beverley Tucker, J. p. B. De Bow, John Shaw, Francis Mobun. Mr. Wallach, the chairman elect, upon the snnouncement of the committee, rose and ex- pressed bis sense of honor cenferred upon him follows : “ir President: It would be impossible for pe, sir, were I 80 dii d, toeven attempt te conceal my gratification at being called to pre- gde over the executive committee of this as- scistion, appreciating, as I do, the high hon- orof being placed in the front rank in this contest, and emulated, as I have been, and resume we have all been, by having already Pebeld the glorious and morally-effective sight of the old hero of Michigan burying in oblivion the past, and hand in hand with that “Little Giant of the West,”’ who has furnish- ed us the thunder for our cannon, leaping up- on the outward battlements, the first to fight this great battle of the constitution, and to rally to the support of the noble son of Peon- sylvania, whom the collective wisdom of the Democratic party, in convention assembled, bave designated to be the bearer in this battle to be fought and won ; of that standard on which are inscribed the principles of demo- eracy—principles, sir, deduced from a strict and correct construction of the constitution, that bulwark of the liberties and the rights of the whole country, and that glorious beacon- light to the voyagers of other lands and less favored nations seeking the safe harbor cf ublican liberty. pp Saskaaes, sir, is a leader worthy to be foll d—a leader whose every act of a long life is a sure prestige of victory, and whose very name inspires confidence in a whole nation that the helm of the “ship of State” will be so guided as to insure peace and har- mony, prosperity and glory to our country Let us ther, sir, enter upon our duties in this campaign with determined hearts and willing hands ; let us leave no stone unturned, no honorable means untried, to elevate to the “chair of State’’ thisour “ standard-bearer’’ whose whole life has been devoted to our cause, and the cause of ourcountry ; and who bas attained unto himself the love and honor not only of his own but of other nations And when the battle shall have been fought and the victory won, we will receive the glori-us reward of beholding once more trampled un- der foot, and forever crushed out of existence «the bydra-headed isms’’ of the day, and the immutable principles of the constitution— the corner-stone of the “temple of human liberty’’—still more indeliby imprinted upon the pages of the ‘book of time’ — . Accept, sir, and gentlemen of this associa- tion, my thanks for this evidence of your con- fidence, and my assurance that my duty shall be done. Tue Kinxwoop Hovsz —The Philadelphia Times says : “Kirkwood House —Persons visiting W ash- ington, D.C, wi d it conducive to their comfort and convenience to stop at the above- named house, and place themselves under the care of the Messrs. Kirkwood, whose kindness and attention have won the esteem of the travelling community “The table at the “ Kirkwood’’ is the best in Washington, and everything about the house reminds one more of home than a pub- lic house. “We cordially recommend this house to all who visit the Federal capital."’ Really, we know no public house in the country where the cooking is better than at that of our enterprising fellow-citizens, the Kirkwood Brothers Gourmands themselves, they always pay scrupulous attention to the affairs of their cusine, and the result is just such eating for their patrons as one rare! joys in this country.

The fire was discovered by one of the neighbors about half-psst 7 o'clock, soon after it ignited, but not before it consumed a number of books and school papers, and the desk of Mr. Fill, the teacher, considerably damaged. On burst- ing open the door to extinguish the fire, it was found to be burning in two places—evi- dently a design to destroy the building. This is the second attempt within a week to destroy property by fire on Capitol hill. It isto be regretted that the perpetrators cannot be de- tected and punished. Taar Prsasvre Excursion of the Young Catholic’s Friend Society on Monday next— don’t forget it! A most praiseworthy charity is to be benefitted by it, and the trip is of it- self—setting the benevolent motive aside— quite attractive enough to command success. Steamers will leave the Washington aud Navy Yard wharves morning and afternoon, and omnibuses will run in connection with the boat, affording the fullest facilities for excur- sionists. A glance at the names upon the committee of arrangements will suffice to show that good order and a pleasant time will be eneured to the participants, Discuarcen —The grand jury having found the evidence in the case of Robert Wheeler insufficient to indict him as a party to the Tobbery of Mr. DL. S. Porter. have directed that he be discharged. Ann Williams, the young girl arrested about the same time, and sent to jail as an accomplice of De Garis in this robbery, bas been in jail the entire time since her commitment. The grand jury rec- ommend that her case be dismissed, and she be retained as a witness for the prosecution. Thomas Dobbins, Andrew alias John Jones, James Brogan and Martha Brannagan, were also discharged.

Fine and cheerful amusement will reign predomi- nant to-night at the National, with, of course, just that sprinkling of sentiment which the unkel’s 80 judiciously throw in to give zeat to the mirth. Our citizens owe the Kunkel’s an everlasting debt of gratitude for those healthful, gleesome entertainments. Will they not come out to-night and give a verdict accordingly ? Sienora Danzi's concert last night, though brilliantly successful so far as her individual performance was concerned, was not car- Tied out according to programme in conse- quence of the failure of a portion of the instramental performers engaged to appear. Prof Foertsch, however, made a very ade- quate substitute. We regret that the heat of weather prevented many of the patrons of musical talent from being present, and that the concert was, in consequence, not pecu- niarily remunerative.

Last night a person was taken to the guard house from that beautiful square. We have not heard the charge against her; but she remained in the cell awaiting the arrival of the officiating justice when we left. The public will be giad to see that pains are taken to prevent improper conduct in the public grounds Tag Fourts or Juty Trip or tae Pow- HATAN, advertised in another column, will strike the reader with surprise on account of its cheapness. How the company can afford it we do not exactly understand, but that is their look-out not ours, Wedo not doubt that the tickets for the excursion will sell at a pre- mium before the date of the excursion, conse- quently those who wish to purchase at prime cost will set about it without delay. MELANCHOLY AccIDENT.—We learn that yesterday afternoon, a boy named Patrick Miils, about thirteen years of age, and who resided near the corner of New York avenue and Thirteenth street, was drowned in Rock Creek, where he had gone to bathe. He had apparently got out of bis depth withcut know- ing howto swim, and was drowned before assistance could reach him. Tue Great Book —We learn that the firm of Martin, Johnson & Co., have effected the arrangements contemplated by establishing an especial agency in Washington for the sale of their great work. This excelleat and un- rivaled book has been issued in numbers, so a3 to come within the means of ail. It is called ‘The Family Commentary’? Unsee- tarian in its character, it contains the cream and essence of the comments and criticisms of a large number of the best divines of the pat ag well asthe present century It is emphat- ically the work of the age and for the times. Mr. Griffith has accepted the agency, and the work will be sold by subscription alone. Per- sons desiring to take the book will call at his General Agency and Conveyancing office, ou Seventh street, a few doors above D, and over Mr. G.

GEORGETOWN CORRESPONDENCE. GzEORGETOWN, June 23, 1856. Owing, we presume, to the very oppressive state of the atmosphere last night, the Alder- men were not in session. In the Council the account of Dr. Lauk, (amounting to $50,) for services as health offi- cer in the case of the bark Wm. Chase, was read and referred. Mr. English, from committee of ways and mbeans, reported a bill appropriating $75 to the Clerk's contingent fund ; passed. Mr. White, from committee on streets, re- orted adversely on the petition of Jos. N. ‘earson, asking to have the line of Second alley changed. He also, from the committee on police, re- ted adversely on the petition of Bladen orrest. Mr. English offered a resolution providing for the sweeping, cleaning, and lighting the Liane House; referred to committee on mar- et. The petition of sundry property holders, asking for footway on south side of West street, between Congress and Washington streets, was read and referred Mr. Cropley, from committee on pumps, re ported bill in favor of Thomas Blundon, and after some discussion it was re-committed. _ Mr. White submitted a resolution request- ing the Clerk to inform the Councils how and for what streets the appropriation of $250, made June 23, 1855, was expended, with the vouchers for the same ; passed. The Board then adjourned. A rare opportunity was afforded us Thurs- day for recreation, one steamboat excursion and two pic nics Of the advantages of the former we availed ourself, and accompanied the Methodist choir on board the fine steamer Alice C. Price, Capt. Baker, to Fort Washing- ington. At tis point the party from George- town met with another from your city, the Ebenezer Sabbath school ree choir, which tended greatly greatly to heighten the pleas- ures of the occasion. Here all commingled together aud spent the day in the most agree- able manner imaginable. Weber s full band was along, and discoursed some of their very best music, but the most pleasing feature in the whole day’s pleasure was tho singing b the union uP the two choirs, led by Mr. i's Henry Wilson of our city, and the singing of a duet by the two Miss Daniels of your city. The Trinity church Subbath school also had 4 pleasant day in the College grove, except a disturbance which was caused by the appear- ance of a party of animals in the ehepe of men, who had been swilling bad whiskey rather too freely. As soon as they found however, that their appearance on the ground was driving away every respectable eee who composed the party, young and old, they eaked off ; from instinct we suppose. The company continued to enjoy themselves after wards until the close of the day. Those who accompanied the Vigilant fire company to ori 's Island had also a very pleasant time of it. * " A youth from your city, named Pendergrass, was accidentally Hach while bathing in Rock Creek, near the paper-mill bridge, Jus- tice Reaver held an inquest over the body; verdict ‘ accidentally drowned.’” Wo regret to learn that our fellow-citizen, Mr Cathcart, was very seriously, if not dan- Late injured en Thursday. I[t appears that he was riding out in a buggy. the forse became frightened, and ran off. Mr. C. was thrown out of the buggy, his head camo in contact with some hard substance, which it is feared fractured his skull. At the sugar sale of E. S. Wright, yester- day, on the wharf of F. 4 A H Dodge. the entire cargo of the barque William Chase, consisting of 367 hogsheads, was sold at $8 60 a$9 30 for 100 lbs. The company was unu- sually large. The entire sale amounted to about $50,000. The offering of beef cattle at Dover’s Rest, yesterday, amounted to about 350 head, all of which were purchased by District butchers and speculators, at $4a$5 on the hoof, equal to $3a$10 nett. Old sheep and lambs $2.50a $3 per head. e have been requested, this morning, to call the attention of the proper authorities to the condition of the pump on West street, near the residence of the Rey. Mr. Simpson. Do let the people have water this hot weather. The flour market this morning is quite ac- tive. ‘The stock on hand is getting quite small. Good standard brands readily com- mand $625, and extra qualities higher.

New Yor, June 28. —The steamship [Ili- nois arrived this morning from Aspinwall with the California mails of June 4th, and $2 470,000 in treasure, and 950 5 She connected at the Isthmus the Golden Age, which brought down from San Francisco $2,658,000 in gold. The principal consignees per Illinois are Drexel & Co , $565,000; Wells F, & Co., $550,000 ; Metropolitan Bank $160,000; Wm Hoge $126,000; Charles Morgan $100,000; Thomas Watson $25,000. The steamer Sierra Nevada, over due from Nicaragua had not arrived when the Golden Age left San Francisco ; immediately on her arrival she wasto be despatched with troops for Gen. Walker. The papers are filled with the matters con- cerning the revolutionary state of affairs in San Francisco The place of exeoution of Casey and Gora was surrounded by 2000 bayonets. Ex-Judge Ned McGowan, formerly sheriff of potice ia Philadelphia, had been indicted by the ag jury as accessory to the murder Mr. King, but escaped The Vigilance Committee had arrested sev- cral ballot box stuffers and desperadoes. They hed also obtained possession of a fraudulent bellot box of ingenious construction, which was used at the last municipal election. The most astounding election frauds had been re- vealed Un the 2d of June the opponents of the Vigi- lance Committec lield a mass meeting in <. Plaza, firet warning, by printed placards, the fricads of the committee not to enter the Plsza during the meoting. The effect of this Wes to show the real strength of the law and order party. About 2000 were present There was no violence, but much confusion. Reso- lutions were passed calling upon the people to resist the Vigilance Committee. Judge Perry had issued a writ of habeas corpus, demandinz the prisoners in the hands of the committee, but the writ was resisted. On the $4 the Governor issued a proclamation deciaring the country in a state of insurrec- in, end authorizing the Major General of the Second Division of State Militia to raise an army to preserve law and order, The action did not alarm the committee. They have 5000 men fully equiped and read: for instant action, being thoroughly arrang aud in constant drill for two weeks under competent officers. Men, money, and muni- tions of war, from all parts of the State are at ticir command, and it is confidently believed that the Governor’s efforts will amount to nothing. The volunteer military companies in San Francise 0 and Sacramento have disbanded in erder to avoid being called out by the Gov- ernor it is reported, however, that 1200 men are enrolled under the government xutborities. No collision is anticipated. A petition, numerously signed, was in cir- culation, asking the Governor to call an extra ecto! the ey eae the Vigilance Committee deny having any- thing to do with this petition *"7 The San Francisco Herald is the only jour- nal which opposes the committee; it putea different coloring tpon the state of affairs ; says that the Governor’s proclamation is largely responded to ; that citizens are 1 pressing forward to enroll themselves under the authorities; that on the 4th of June 1,500 were enrolled, and that by Saturday 10,000 would be in arms on the side of the law. It also says that three divisions of the State militia have been ordered out, and that many new companies of volunteers are form- ra the San Francisco markets were very dull. Money was tight. ama dates are to the 19th inst. There is nothing important from the Isthans. Mr, Corwine, U.S Commissioner to inquire into the Panama riot, was at bis post, busy with the investigation. The Star says the testi- mony, so far as collected, affords overwhelm- ing proof of the brutality and unprovoked- ness of the attack on the passengers, and the complicity of the police al other authorities .
