eS _LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. Tax Jornt Comuirree on the age ey, of Washington and Georgetown met last nigh’ at the City Hall, and was called to order by the president, Dr Miller. ‘Aner reading the journal, Mr. Tyler of Georgetown, corrected an omission of the name of Dr. Joshua Riley/a member from George- town. The President ee that the Washing- ton committee woul ¢ to the Ist and 2d sections of the pro basis, und the 3d sec- = with Les exce| sage the Pees mihi the pu: ng the principal and in- pacdl of said debt” cof Washington) and all the remainder except the 7th section which they propose to strike out. It is as follows: “ The present western or Virginia channel of the Potomac is not to be altered or any way affected, except by the people resident in the aforesaid two new wards, or by a majority of their representatives in each of the branches of the Corporation of Washi mn.?? Mr. Tyler asked if the 7th section could be amended to meet the views of the Washington committee Mr. Miller said that he thought it would be best to leave the entire section out, and let the subject remain for the future action of Con- Mr Ould said that in preparing that basis they had purposely avoided mentioning the bridge in that section All that Georgetown asked was that the natural outlet for theit trade should be preserved. If a majority of the citizens aaked for an improvement of the channel, he had no objection, but he wished to prevent any corporate action in future by which the people of Georgetown would be obliged to submit to such alteration whether they were for or against it. Mr Smith said that the question with him was, does not the section permit the two wards to control the seven in regard to this matter ? He certainly could not yield to this. And, further, the section implied a desire on the part of Washington to alter the Virginia chan- nel, and that he would not admit. He could not see the necessity for the seventh section. Mr. Ould explained that the alteration of the channel was not a supposed case. There was now on the files of Congress a proposition to construct a wall from Maszon’s Island to- wards the Maryland shore to divert the water from the Virginia channel. Mr. Smith stated his objeot to be to secure the interests of the consolidated city to make the interest of both identical Mr. Ould said, give us the power over that channel which we have, and you may retain all the rest. We only wish to prevent corpo- rate action without the consent of the two new wards. Mr. Smith was not willing to permit the minority to rule the majority, but he would stand for the interests of Georgetown. Dr Tyler did not think the proposition of Georgetown unreasonable. Georgetown has an influence with Congress, inasmuch as their people could make out a good case, the chan- nel being the outlet for the commerce of Georgetown. If annexation be not consum- mated it may be that she will go back to ‘old motber Maryland ;”’ and it would be difficult to affect the channel then. Dr. Miller said the consolidation would sweep away all antagonistic interests, as bis friend [Mr. Smith] had said. The people would Le interested in the protectionof George- town interests Mr. Smith said, if the seventh section were retained, be would ask to add the fullowing two sections : “IL. The present site of the Long Bridge is not to be changed, orin any mannner affected, (except as hereinafter provided,) unless by the consent of a majority of the seven old wards; but, on the contrary, every effort will be made by the entire consolidation to pro- cure the erection of a permanent structure on the present site of the Long Bridge. “12. That it shall be the interest, as well as the duty, of the consolidation, as far as racticable, to keep open the channel on the ashington city side of the Potomac, and, with that view, to advocate and procure the paczage of a law erecting a sea wall along the entire line of the Potomac, from the extreme west front of Monument Square to the ex- trome east front of the arsenal.” Mr. Towles explained the causes of the filling up of the river and the action of the threechannels He urged that the time would soon arrive when the alteration of the channel would be desired by Georgetown and Wash- ington, and saw no reason why any obstruc- tion should be placed in the way of easy leg- islation. The argument was continued by Messrs. Ould, Abert, Tyler and Smith. Mr Ould proposed the following as a sub- stitute for the 7th section: ‘‘There shall be re- served to the people of Georgetown or toa majority of their representatives in the cor- poration of Washington, the same power of resistance, remonstrance, and protest to any change or alteration in, or obstruction to the present western or Virginia channel as is now by the corporation of Washington.’’ The discussion upon the substitute was con- tinued until 10 o’clock, when Mr. Smith offer- ed the following - Whereas, The committee of Washington cannot accept the basis with the 7th section or substitute, and that as the committee from a wo have refused the consolidating without said 7th section or its substitute. Therefore, Resolved, That when this committee ad- journ it adjourn sine die. ‘ Mr. Tyler arose and said that although it was a matter of regret thatthe annexation could not be consummated, the committee had nothing else to regret. They had met as neighbors in the most friendly manner, and re mutually received information which would be beneficial to them hereafter, and they could now separate as they had met, as warm friends, without angry feeling The resolution was adopted On motion of Mr. Ould, it waz ordered that the clerk should be paid $5 and the the mes- scager $2 per night for their servi: M:. Tyler stated that Mr David English had been absent from the meetings of the com- mittee on account of ill health. On motion, the joint committee adjourned sine die mS Cagstxurs —The Norfolk Argus states that in the seaboard counties the chestnuts are ripening and opening fast. Many of the trees are very full, and the boys and girls, squir- rels and darkies, have already commenced to gather them. The trees grow to a very ra size. A gentleman recently obtained 500 fence rails from @ single tree The wood will not answer for fuel on account of the constant snapping, cracking and sparkling while burn- ing. The fences made of chestnut rails are very valuable, as they do not decay for near- ly half a century. Cutting down the trees greatly increases the growth, as from 3 to 7 or will spring up and grow rapidly from the roots of the parent tree. This tree does not win the vicinity of Norfolk; but thrives ly in the upper counties of Virginia, and in many parts of Maryland and Pennsylvania in the mountainous districts of North Caro- lina, also, it may be found flourishing. Judging from the appearance of the trees in the vicinity of Washington and from the large quantities “n sale in the city markets, the cbestoat crop in this part of the county is an abundant one this year. Parry Lancastzs.—Within a few days, we have beard numerous complaints from various citizens of larcenies of harness, axes, ani other articles usually left in stables, wood- houses. 4c The perpetrators are seldom de- tected, and when caught escape punishment through the lenience of those they have robbed. Itis now more necessary than ever that owners of property should make their stsbles and woodsheds safe. The same in ducements are not cffered at this time to arrest offenders that were offered a year ago, and citizens should be careful that their roperty is secure from the inroads of petty thieves Given Batt.—Mesars. Samuel Strong and Robert Strong gave bail this morning in the sum of $500 each to appear at the Criminal Court, to answer the ch of sssault and battery on John M Smith andJ F Tims on Tuesday night. Mr. 8S. Strong was by Officer Watson and taken Donn, who required him to give the bail, and he then gave bail for his brotberand promised to bring bim before the Jystive to acknowledge the bond. Jowing is an extract from the article in the Baltimore Clipper of Tuesday last, which de- volved on us what we regarded to bea duty to criticise it as it was criticised on the same day in the Star: it o’clock yeste: jay morning. ted that this young man, but > past ei t will be reco! little over nineteen years of age, was standing prietly in the neighborhood of Mount Vernon ace on‘ election day, when the Irish, with all the fury of their illiterate and demon- hearted race, rushed up the street, and find- ing nothing more formidable to heap their Vengeance upon, one of them fired at him, and he fell wounded in the le, Whilst in this helpless condition—a condition which would excite the commisseration of any man with the least spark of human kindness in his breast—another Irishman approached, and, lacing his musket within a few feet of him, Fred a slug into his brain, and, as he fell over upon the pavement, the Irishman pierced him through the arm with the bayonet attached to his musket, and rifled his pockets of all the money aa contained. There were five bul- lets in different parts of his body. It seems too shocking for contemplation. ‘A young and promising American shot down in the streets of his country by a band of transported and boggarly rary oars and whilst gasping from the effects of his fatal wounds to be robbed. This murder is almost without a parallel in heinousness.”” This article, embraced as will be perceived, Sweeping and unjustifiable charges against a large and worthy class of our fellow- zens, as well as false statements as to the vircum- ler which the unfortunate youth re- ceived his death wound. This morning, we are informed by a citizen of well known character and deserved influ- ence, that the unfortunate youth had for the last two years been almost immediately under his eye, and had given, so far as he could per- ceive, every promise of making a useful citi- zen, notwithstanding his more youthful ab- berations. We publish the fact with more true — than we can express, because though impelled by what we thought to be a grave duty to the public involved on us, our sympathy with the parents of the deceased was and is asactive and sincere as that of any man in this community. We deplore that the unfortunate youth failed to be guided by what we learn to have been the earnest advice of his elder brother given on the morning of the sad affair, to keep away from the scene of the contest. Faminy Jars.—Yesterday, a couple of good looking young married ladies went bente us- tice Donn to testify in a case where the hus- band of one had laid hands on and abused the other. One was galled to give evidence, when both began talking so fast that the Justice could hardly slip ina word edgeways. The Justice and constable both demanded order, but the females were now under full head of steam, and either could not or would not hold up till his honor rose and expressed in unmis- takable tones his determination to have order. The case was heard at last, and it appeared that the difficulty arose from some wood having been placed in a position by one of the women to raise the ire of the husband of the other, who accordingly seized his fair neighbor by the hair and called ber a highly improper name This was an assault in the eye of the law, and the Justice, after exprossing a hope that they would be able to settle their little difficulties in future with less trouble, held the accused to security to keep the peace NationaL Tueatre —A more satisfactory performance than that of the Keene company at the National, last night, cannot well be imagined. We regret that the unprecedented political excitement prevailing last night, to- gether with the expected arrival of the Pres- ident, caused a thinner house than the merits of the company deserved To-night, another excellent bill is offered. See advertisement. ARRESTED.—The cvlored man. Wm. Fen- nall, who so horribly maimed another named Batler some days since, was captured last nignt by Watchman Norwood. Fennall is a slave, and we are informed that his owner in- tends to sell him. Centre Marxet.—The supply in the mar- ket this morning was smaller than usual, but there was no change in prices worth mention- ing The weather was cool, and the country dealers were occupying rather unpleasant po- sitions. Warcn Retunns.—During the night the cells were occupied by lodgers, most of them from abroad. There is but little disturbance at night and the Auxiliary Guards report the city unusually quie GEORGETOWN CORKESPONDENCE. Grorgetown, Oct. 16, 1856, The additional news in the morning papers from the election in Pennsylvania, has served to inereage the excitement which has pervaded our city for the last twenty-four hours. We are informed that the quantity of water upon the upper levels of the canal, is improv- ing, and that boats with a full cargo are again, by dint of good management. enabled to pase the most difficult points. Quite a number of boats from Cumberland and other points have arrived during the last twenty-four hours Among the private improvements which have been made in our city this season, we notice a very handsome one (first class frame dwelling) on Fayette street, in what is known as Bryantown, by our fellow-citizen Professor Sechadd. It is really an ornament to the lo cality in which it ig situated. We discover that the antiquated front of Messrs.
