<¢ EVENING STAR. LOCAL INTELLIGENCE, eee FFF Tae craxp Miitary ann Cryic Excur- SION OF THE aineton Licnt Inrantrr.— With genuine gratification wo avail ourselves of the opportunity to commend to our readers the superb excursion announced by that effi- cient and excellently disciplined company, the Washington Light Infantry. The members of this company are gentlemen and soldiers in every respect, and as such have won for them- selves upiversal regard both at home and abroad. In respect to the excellent drill and efficient organization of the Infantry, a com- liment is deservedly due to theircommander, Eaptain James Y. Davis, than whom a more able officer or worthy gentleman does not exist. The Infantry propose, it will be seen, to celebrate their twentieth anniversary by an excursion down the river and bay to Old Point, Norfolk and Portsmouth. They have char- tered the Powhatan and will leave this city at 2o'clock, p m. on Friday, September 12tb, and returning will reach Washington on Mon- day morning, the 15th. at6a.m. The trip is notonly a most desirable one in itself, but with the good order sure to be maintained by the Infantry, has additional inducements to those who ordinarily deny themselves the in- dulgence of such relaxations im dread of an- noyance from drunken rowdies. The tickets for the round trip are only $250. Cheap enough ! Taw Rertvrs or tue Excrersioxrsts.—The steamer Powhatan, Capt Chas. Mitchell, af- ter a delightful trip, arrived at her wharf this morning, about half-past six o'clock, with the excursion party who left here on Friday even- ing. During their trip nothing whatever oc- eurred to mar the general happiness which revailed among them, and the managers re- esived much praise for the excellence of their arrangements for the comfort and pleasure of their patrons, as well as for the admirable manner in which they were carried out. The meals, &c , were furnished by H N. Sheldon & Coke, and were gotten up in a style that would have done crelit to some of the firat class hotels, and showed that in catering for such parties they were au fait—their bill of fare, £o., pleasing the most fastidious. With- ers’ band supplied the music, and gave gen- eral satisfaction. Altogether, excursion No. 2 is represented to have been one of the most pleasant and well-conducted trips ever gotten up, and will long be remembered. Success should crown the efforts of the public-spirited citizess who furnished the opportunity for enjoyment to our city folks at so low a rate. * lose may they wave !"’ Tae Accipest to Mr. Latnau.—The Alex- andria Gazette of this morning says: ‘*We learn that Mr. Latham was not run over, as stated in Saturday’s Gazette, but that he sus- tained very severe injuries. He was seated on the top of the baggage on the wagon. and was ou the way to the Depot of the Washing- ington branch railroad, up Pennsylvania avenue, Washington, when by some accident he was precipitated to the ground, striking on his head and shoulder, and was severely in- jured. Mr. L was brought to this city, and medical aid promptly rendered, and we are pleased to announce that he was, on Saturday, in a fair way of 2 speedy recovery.’” Ficatixe asp AssacLts.—During Satur- day night several complaints were made to the Captain of the Guard of assaults on various persons. One young man was struck on the bead with a slung shot or stone, and a severo wound inflicted by a man named Dawson. Justice Hollingshead issued a warrant for his arrest. Another young man was knocked downontheavenue His assailant (name un known) was afterwards arrested and held to bailfor a further hearing Late in the night, Watchmen Birch and Horner arrested Jno Simonds, Jno Gonzales, and Jno Sheck- els for fight: 4 They were all held to bail for a hearing before Justice Hollingshead. Macistrate’s Fexs —The fees allowed to magistrates and conatables in all criminal cases up to the passage of the last act of Con- gress in relation to this subject, were as fol- lows To the magistrates for the oath, 6} cents ; warrants, 12: cents; for each witness sworn on trial. 6; ecnts; each subpoena for one or more persons, 124 cents; judgment, 123 cents; recog- nizance bond, 25 cents; mittimus, 25 cents; tu the constable for serving warrant, 33}; each witness summoned, 164 cents; executing mitti- mus, 50 cents. Since the pasaage of the act referred to, the magistrates understand that these fees are only allowed in cases of felony. PoutticaL Staaw —On the last trip of the mud scow ‘‘ Mebitable Ann,’’ plying between Jackson City and the Four-mile Run, a vote was taken of the political preferences of the passengors and officers, with the following re- sult Fillmore .. 1 Buchanan. -0 Fremont. or -0 Majority for Fillmore ........... 1 Taz Mayor's Decisioy.—Mayor Magruder instructs Capt. Mills, of the Auxiliary Guard, in regard to passes for colored people who ap- pear in the streets after 10 o'clock p. m , that no citizen has a right to give a pass to any persons except his own servants; such a pass 1s good for one night only. A justice of the peace ean give a pass, good@or one night. A y given by a justice of the peace, or a re- spectable citizen to his own servants, may be made good for one month by the cudorsement of the Captain of the (juard. A Mextixc.—On Saturday afternoon last there was a Jarge gnd spirited Democratic meeting at Grane 2 ae in Montgomery coun- ty, Maryland,about nine miles from Washing- ton city, the @ceasion being a pole raising in honor of Buchanan and Breckinridge. Some three or four hundred persons were present. They wereaddressed Dr. Wm. B. Magruder, Mayor of Wasbington, W. D. Wallach, Mr. Ricaul of Comecticut, and Col. G. Berrett, in Speeches all of which w capitally received, generating much cnthusiasm. The tone of the meeting argued capitally for the Democratic Cause in that region of Montgomery county. Lawantasie Accipext anD Deatu.—A child of Mr. William Phipps, engraver, a boy fome three years of age, was, in the absence of its. parent last night, fatally burned through his clothes taking fire from the ignition of a friction match with which it was playing, The sufferer lingered in great agony until ten o'clock of last night, when it expired. Assavir asp Barrery. — The following casts were disposed of by Justice Hollings- bead at bis office last night. George Thompeon and Tobias Williams, colored, as- sault and battery on each other; jail. Chas. Campbell, white. and Thomas Humphries, co- lored, stealing ry ; jsil for farther hearing Jer ny Evan and Henry Teacher, assault ; se- curity to keep the pesce. Kiexen py a Honse —Saturday evening a little boy named Kidley, wes kicked by a horse running at large on the street. He was very badly if not fatally injured His sicut! was fractured about three inches across the forehead. His recovery was considerd very doubtful this morning. Triavtg or Resrect.—The cars on the Washington and Baltimore branch road were observed yesterday to be draped in mourning, as a testimonial of teapach to the fate John H- Done, whose remains were taken to Baltimore on Saturday, to be conveyed to Somerset ™@eounty, Md —_— ay Fine Riot —Un Saturday night a disgrace- l riot occurred near the Tressury Depart- ment, in which the members of various fire companies were engaged Showers of stones fell around the dvors and windows of the dwellings in the neighborhood No one was seriously injured. Ne arrests were made, Ansconping —Since Friday evening a num- ber of valuable servants belonging to citisens of Washington and the adjoining counties have Tunaway. The servants are generally intelli- gent, have been well treated, and all of them “apparently satisfied with their conditions, Fiutwore axp Doweisox Great Soug Boo! Only ii cents, fur sale at A Adsin 3 enth street, opposite to the Post Office 2} a ove notes are past | he Star office. Tas Natioxit Tawatre.—“ Romeo and Juliet’’ was performed on Faery night very much to the satisfaction of the audence. Mr. Davenport made a most acceptable Mercutio ; Mr. Boniface, always» favorite in this city, made himself new admirers in the part of Romeo, and we need hardly say that t! oes of Julia was admirably performed by Mrs. Davenport. Indeed, the most crabbed bachelor present must e felt some touch of the tender passion while beholding the per- sonation of the loving Juliet by Mrs. D To- night, Bourcicault’s brilliant ‘‘ London Assu- tance’’ will be performed. Our old favorite, Joseph Jefferson, make his bow to his Wash- ington friends to-night on his return from bis Old Worid trip. A Bop Orgration.—A person, on Saturday night, stole from tho restaurant of Messre. Lunsford & Jordan, on Fifteenth street, two new coats which were hanging in the bar-room. The thief did not carry out his bold under. taking, though he managed to evade immedi- ate apprehension He will doubtless see the expediency of saving his bacon by making im- mediate restitution of the stolen property. Tue Jackson Democratic ASSOCIATION — The members of this association, one and all, should be sure to attend at their hall this evening, the occasion being the election of a president in place of Daniel Ratcliffe, Esq., who declines a re-election. ReMovaL —We have been requested by the Secretary to state, for the information of the public, that the office of the Gas Light Com- pany has been removed to No. 514 Eleventh stroet, third door north of Pennsylvania ave- nue, and diagonally opposite to the Star Build- ings — Tax Circus advertisement, in another col- umn, holds out rich promise of fun for the million. The troupe, we notice, has arrived, and has planted its extensive canvas in Centre Market space, in readiness tor the opening of the equestrian campaign to night. Fire ALarms —There were several alarms of fire Saturday night and Sunday afternoon. All were false, and probably created by mir- ehivous persons for the purpose of making mischief amvung tbe fire companies. Tas Arter to light Alexandria with red- headed girls, we see, has been revived “J. It. H.”’ says if he lived there he'd play tipsy every night and hug the lamp posts. John is a bad boy!
