C.

DistinevisHEeD ARRivan—Daniet Pratt, jr tHE GReaT AMERICAN TraveLer tx Town — We were visited yesterday by Mr. Pratt, who, it may be well to remind our readers, has been known in the Northern States for many years asa self-con- stituted candidate for the Ea paapang! 3 pe rele founds his claim for that position on ex! us travels—vehicular, peduncular, aud other- ‘wise. Like most remarkable men—Alexander the Great, Napoleon, and James Robertson, late edi- tor of the **Truth’’—Mr. Pratt is not above the average stature. In other respects he resembies his brother reformer, Robertson, but is not dis- tinguished by that brusqueness of manner which tepelled the admirers of the editor of the-Truth. On the whole, we deem Mr. P. the most “ eligi- bie candidate of the two. Mr. Pratt carries with him a substantial scrap-book, filled with newspaper and biographical notices of himself, and extracts from a paper lately published by him inthe one of Boston styled ‘the Gridiron.” From this work we gather that Mr. Pratt isthe son of his father and mother, residing in Chelsea, ‘Mass., and that his grandfather, Thomas Pratt of Boston, was a Lieut. in the last war, and weighed two hundred pounds. He is about the height of his a and at one time weighed one hundred and fifty pounds himself, but in 1850 he was kicked by a mule at Fort Kearney, by which the collar bone of his right shoulder was broken, and since then Le Las weighed much less. He claims damages from Congress on the ground that the beast doing the injury was a government mute; and, we learn from the scrap-book, that a petition to that effect was presented in 1553 by the Hon. Wm. Appleton of Bostun, but the claim was rejected. ince Mr. Pratt arrived at the of twenty- one years, he has traveled over two hund-ed thousand miles; has been in twenty-eight States of the Union, and also in New Jersey, Nova Sco- tia, and the Pawnee Territory. Over half a mil- lion of people have expressed their preference for him forthe Presidency, and he means to go in und win. His present title is ‘Daniel Pratt, jr., the Great American Traveler and Ambxssador; Editor of the Gridiron, and Candidate for the President in 1560.77 He anu intention t United States iment of all the important principles of Govern- ment from the period of chacs (pronounced “shay-hoss’* Mr. Pratt) down to the present at t) times.” Subseribers, he thinks, should send in their names at once, as the demand is not equal to the supply We very cheerfully give Mr. Pratt the benefit of the above exposition of his position and pros- pects, but cannot spare room for the address and documents with which he has favored us. Tue Rtver.—The regatta came off to-day from the south end of the Long Bridge—the competi- tors all being in excellent spirits, and each one sanguine that his own boat was certain to win the race. The turning point for the race was yes- terday fixed for Fort Washington. The judges went down this morning at 4 o'clock with the flag-boat. Arrived at Harvey & Co.’s wharf—Schr. Wm. L. Wern, Capt. Sewa:d, from Havre DeGrace, with 70 tons of coal for J.S Harvey & Co. At Riley’s wharf arrived this morniag steamer Diamond State, from Baltimore, wtth consign- ments for Bates & Bro., S$. Bacon & Co., Prot. Henry, Robt. Israel. Bureau of Yards and Docks, R. Wimsatt, J.C. Taylor, B. J. Neale, Murray & Semmes, and Canipbell & Coyle. At same wharf last night, arrived schr. 8. ns Baily, Capt, Werner. from New York. with 1,560 barrels of cement for Capt. Meigs. Also, schr. Octavia Al- len, from Philadelphia, with 101 tous of coal for Warder & Stuart. Two hermaphrodite brings arrived at Alexan- dria Jast night The steamer Baltimore passed last night,.com- ing up the river, six of seyen Colliers 1i upward bon She also passed a sutyeying schooner, uame unknown, of the White House ; and steam tug Guy, at 2 o’clock,a m.. going down to the gnano ship. The ship has thus fur been lightened of three feet of ber drangbt; and will have to be further lightened of three feet to enable her to come up over the kettle bottoms. ‘The Water Witch arrived up at the Washington Navy Yard from New York this morning at 73 o’elock A schooner belonging to the U.S. Coast Survey, went ashore this morning on the flats off the Pen- itentiary. Horricurturar Exnisttion.—At the exbi- bition last night a great concourse of ladies and gentlemen were present to examine the rare col- lection of fruits, vegetables, flowers, &c., there displayed in tempting array. ‘The rooms were kept open until a late hour, and the interest man- ifested by those who attended, BN cpr pelonenny the lady visitors, was intense, and deservedly so. To-day, are presented by J. T. Clarke, Esq., from bis farm, some choice selections of apples— the att pipeis. belle flower, Phenix, Cut- lin, black redstreak, riisxets.&c. To-night closes this interesting show of good things, and the judges are to announce the premiums to the suc- cessful competitors. Speechesare expected from various gentlemen who are interested in horti- culture. Tus Sairusonian Grouxns.—We have been requested to call the attention of the proper au- thorities ta the condition of the stiles at the en- trances to the Smithsonian institution grounds, and especially to that at the northera Tenth street entrance, which we can testify is in a deplorably crippled state. Our correspondent complains that of the incney appropriated by Congress to Lafayette Square and the Smithsonian Grounds, the lions portion is absorbed by the former He thinks the public have much move interest in the latter grounds, and have a rivht to demand that they shall not be neglected for the beartit of pet squares of wealthy pti vate citizens.

Correspondence of The Star. r Groxcrtown, Oct. 2, 1957. The superior knowledge possesxed by our neighber of the Alexandria Sentinel, of passing events in Georgetown, is about equal to those Possessed by an old lady we once heard of in the country, on the subject of the Christian religion, She was visited by a pious missionary, who, after some prelimi: Temarks, asked her ifshe was aware that the Messiah bad come into the world, and died for her redemption? The question seem- ed to take the old lady ull-aback, and throw her into a perfect bewilderment of wonder and sur- rise. After adjusting a ponderous pair of brass- ramed ylaxses upon her nasal organ, she looked the pions person Liicf> papgimauee n the face, and exclaimed ‘‘la, me! Mr. ——, is he dead’? why, gracious goodness, when did he die?*’ ‘J allers told my old man we should die in ignorance if he didn’t take the newspapers.”’ Past events, the celebrated numerous log-roil- committee, the cock-and-bull story about our mills causing the deficiency of water in the canal and other such Rip Vanwinkle yarns and acts about our affairs, leads us to fear that the wish is father to the thought with our neighbor, so faras his item about our millers, &c isconcerned. We would inform bim that there is no necessity for iving himself such a deal of uneasiness about the matter. Our millers are all alive and kick- ing, our mill doors wide open, wheat pouring in as usual, and everything going on as busy as a bee-hive; and they are still prepared to farnish, as heretofore, a profitable market for nearly all the wheat which may be consigned to the mer- chants of his city. Business tpon our canal bas again commenced, some twelve coal boats having arrived; there is still, however, considerable difficulty experienced upon Dam No. 4 level, caused by the leaky con- dition of the dam. We are pleased to learn that the captains of the boats trading upon the eanal are signing a peti- tion to the board of directors of the Canal Com- pany> to have the canal locks closed on the Sab- th, and to require all boatmen to tie up on that day. This is an excellent move, and one that will doubtless bring about a considerable reformation among the crews of the boats. Several owners of boats, we learn, have already given orders to the captains of their boats not to travel on Sunday. We are pleased to see that the Gas Company have supplied our friends, the Messrs. Ritter, and their neighbors, and persons whose business canses them to visit that locality at night, with light to guide their footsteps and keep them out of the canal. ‘There is still another place in the neighborhood that we think ought to be similar- ly aecommodated, viz: ‘The Canal Collector's of- fice. This place is frequented by boatmen at al- tmost all hours of the night on business, (when urriving,) and as it is a pretty hard ea to navi- ate in the dark in consequence of its roughness, it ought by all means to be supplied with light; and more especially so when those interested are willing to con‘ribute an amount sutlicient to pay for the pi to conduct the gas from Bridge street to this potst, and the lamp and post also. We hope the Gas arent will see the reason- ableness of speedily supplying this demand. The only arrival this morning is the schooner George Bartel, from Port Deposit, with 70,000 feet lumber to Jos. Libby & son The quantity of wood arriving continues very limited. There ix an active demand for oak and ickory. A large amount of each could find a reedy market with our dealers at good prices. From present indications we are likely to have « short supply for the ensuing winter if it shall be anything like as severe as the last two.
