fellow-citizens leaving for the places and elsewhere should bear in mind that we do Tre Bett axp Everett DEMONSTRATION aT Fasmineton Vuestarpay —Large Gathering— The Marylanders Evidently Aveaks to the Work of the Campargn—Enthusiastic Endorsement of the Candidates —The Bell and Everett ratification demonstration at Farmington, Prince George's county. Md , yesterday, was indeed a grand a‘ ir, and we have no doubt would compare favorably with any similar demonstration gotten up inany Portion of the country. About § o'clock, the Bell and Everett Club of this city, numbering about 200 persons, marched from their headquarters on Seventh street to the steamboat landing, where they took passage on the steamer Phenix. They were accompanied by Withers’ excellent band, which discoursed various stirring airs. Sometime previous to the arrival of the procession. a large number had re- | soem to the boat, where also in waiting was ‘rosperi’s band. The members of the Cinb ‘wore suspended from a button hole of the coat by @ piece of blue ribbon a neat little galvanized medal, on one side of which was inscribed the words ‘Jobn Bell. the Union Candidate for the Presidency, 1560,”* and on the reverse side “The Constitution and the Union, now and forever ” In the procession were borne two Americ: ensigns, above one of which floated a streamer having printed on the one side, in large charac- ters, the uscription, +‘ The Constitution, the Union, and the enforcement of the laws,” and on the other, ‘Bell and Everett, the Union candidates.” On the upper end of the same pole was a sinall beil, arranged so that the slightest motion of the pole would cause it to jingle. The hour of start- ing having arrived, the boat moved off from the landing amid the loud huzzas of those gathered on the wharves, which was heartily responded to by those on the boat. The band now struck upa patriotic air, and the boat, by this Lorene ono ed, sped on its way majestically down the m of the noble Potomac, bearing on its deck and in its saloons young men and old, some of the latter of whom could not have been less than eighty years of age. These venerable old gentlemen ‘Were apparently deeply interested in the cause which they , and seemed to take as espou: much pride in aepegiags the little medal in the batton-hole of their coat, as if it had been awarded them for some deed of valor or valuable service On the passage down, the Phenix stopped at Alexandria, to take those on board who had been unable to go on the steamer Gipsey, which had left a short while before. Beyond Alexandria, crafts of numerous kinds were fallen in with, plying thelr way to the designated locality Among others was the packet Flying Cloud, from Georgetown, engaged to bring the Bell and Ev- erett Club of that city. Thus far everything had gone on pleasantly and without cause for di asatiefaction or disquiet to any; but on arriving at the mouth of Piscataway creek, near Fort Washington, where the Gi was to meet the Phenix after its (Gipsey’s) first trip to Farmington, and convey the passengers up the creek, (the Phenix being too large a steamer to traverse the shallow stream,) it inconveni- ence was experienced. For fear the Gipsey might not be able to ascend the stream if too large a number were placed on her, it was deemed advi- sable by the committee to engage the Flying Cloud, which was at the time passing near, to convey a portion of them. This, it was thought. would without doubt prevent the possibility of being grounded on account of the Gipsey draw- ing too much water. But it was soon discovered that, even with the limited number on board, in col uence of the low state of the tide it was im- pessible for the boat to make any headway. All ‘Were now in a quandary as to what course to pur- sue. The Flving Cloud had left with its passen- gers, and in all probability would not return until evening, unless speedily sent for Accordingly several small craft were hailed, that information of their condition might be sent to Farmington; but ali refused to approach the steamer, alleging as a cause that they were afraid of being sunk by a too great number getting in; and each craft per- sisted in this refusal, ing large offers were made them. Seeing no prospect of reaching Farmington until near 3 o’clock, if they remain on the Gipsey, as the tide would not rise to a suf- ficient height before that hour, a request was made of the pilot (who was acting as captain in the place of that officer, who was detained at Alexandria through sickness) to allow them the uae cf the small boat belonging to the steamer This be absolutely refused to do. stating that, as now they. were on the boat, they would have to remain until the tide came up, or themselves secure other meansof conveyance. ‘They appealed to him, stating that several of the Speakers were on the boat, and it was necessary for them to reach Farmington at an early hour, and further, in ad- dition to the boat's being intolerably warm, on account of its compectness, there was no drinking water other than the warm river water, with no ice to cool it. The pilot was unmoved by this appeal, and firmly adbered to bis determination ‘The committee then resolved to assume the re- sponsibility, and take the boat; but on search being made for oars none could be found, and so this project had to be given up. By this time the * Flying Cloud,” having heard through some of these in the smaller craft which had reached Farmington, of the condition of the “ Gipsey,” Wes seen beaving in sight. This of course put an end to the various projects which had been con- crived of reaching the place of destination other- wise than in the *Gipsey.”” It was not aa be- fore the ‘ Flying Cloud’? wasalong sideand fl with passengers. The ‘‘ Gipsey,”’ being relieved of a portion of its weight, was enabled to ascend the stream, together with the packet. On reach- ing the shore they were aes by a round of three hearty cheers, and all, on leaving the boats, immediately formed into line, and under the in- spiring music of the different bands, proceeded to the place arranged for the meeting. The place selected for the purpose was a shady spot, near the shore, where a refreshing breeze from the river was constantly enjoyed. On arriv- ing there, we found the shore lined with vehicies of every description, and a horse tied to almost every tree in the vicinity. The stage was taste- fully decorated with flags of various descriptions, and seats provided for the accommodation of the crowd ‘Fhe fair sex, though not numerously, was well represented in the persons of some of the loveliest of --Old Prince George’s”’ daughters. After the execution of several national airs by the bands tn attendance, the meeting was orga- nized by the election of Dr. J. H. Bayne as Pres- ident: and Mr. Thos. A_ Latimer as Secretary The following Ren itlemen were then elecetd Vice Presidents:—W. P. Chapman, H. D. Har- desty. C. R. Bealer, R. B. Latimer. M. Lyles, Gen. Samnel Coe, Jon Coe, and Capt. G.

There wasa very large attendance of parents and others interested in the welfare of the schools. Of trustees Present, there was Messrs M. HM Miller, A. W. Miller, Fort, fronside, Holmead, and Willett, Col. Ran. dolph, McKnew: also Rev Dr. Samson,President of Columbian College, Mr Hyde, of the George- town public schools; and of our own teachers, Messrs J.E.and 8. J. Thomson, Miss Milburn, Miss Lucy Randolph, Miss Ward, Miss Kate Sanderson, Mrs. Myers, Miss Middleton, and others. The examination was conducted princi- ei by Messrs. Fort. Ironside, Holi Mrs. andoiph, and Mr. J. E. Thompson. The pupils Were examined during the stay of our reporter in reading, orthcaraphy, grammar, and familiar sci- ence, and exhibited great intelligence. In read- ing especially, the higher classes were admirable and evinced much improvement; their correct Pronunciation of words, distinct articulation, and carefal observance of punctuation. were themes of high approbation by the trustees. Surely no stronger Foes! abdpens could be paid to their excellent instructress, than that bestowed upon her by her first and second classes in read- ing, in the perfection they manifested in that one branch of their studies. To read well implies intelligence far beyond that which is necessary to the spelling out of words; it implies a general kuowledge of language, of rammatical con- struction, a familiarity with literary usages. The first class in grammar was examined by Mr. J E. Thompson, who gave them for an exercise in parsing the well-known soliloquy of Cato, a fair subject by which to test their scholarship Mr. T ve the examination a practical turn which bad the effect of placing the pupils at heir ease, and thereby drawing out their capabilities in a manner creditable to their understanding hey analyzed complicated sentences. corrected false syntax, were ready with a reason for all cor- rections, and, im fine, manifested a shrewdness and correctness of judgment equal to any pupils of their years we have ever seen At various in- tervals the whole school sang, under the direction of their music-master, Mr. J. H. Daniel, several beautifal melodies and part songs, in good tune and taste. Mr. James Lawrenson, a newly- elected trustee, contributed material aid to the cause of education, throughout the afternoon, b: @ liberal distribution of ice water to the thirsty. Youxa Men's Curistian Assoctation.—The following isa pag of the proceedings of their sae held on Monday evening last: The President stated in his report that the Mis- sion School-House, No.2,o0n English Hill, had been considerably damaged by some mischievous boys, and that the board of managers had decided to remove the building to Capitol Hill for the use of Mission School No. 5.

Mr. D.P Hickling was elected an associate member. Preaching {s still continued at the Asylum, and the incetings are growing in interest. Rev. Messrs. Proctor, P. L. Wilson, Morsell and Westwood have officiated during the past month. The Association have established a prayer meet- ing at Waugh Chapel, (Capitol Hill.) which is heid every Sabbath afternoon at 5 o'clock; also, one in the First Ward, which is held on Friday night. Both of these meetings are increasing in interest. Another one is expected to be started shortly in the neighborh of the “ Twenty Buildings.”?

AccipENT TO A WasHINGTONIAN.—We find in the Schenectady (N. Y_) Star the following ac- count of a serious accident which occurred in that place to Mr. James G. Johnson, of this city: * Mr. Jas G. Jobnson, a young gentleman from Washington, (son of Pr. Lorenzo D Johnson.) who has been studying with Prof. Stanton for a short thine past with a view to entering college at the commencement of the next term, met with a sad accident at the railroad depot last evening. Liberty street was blocked by a freight train, and a number of foot engers through between the cars while they were standing still Mr. Johnson attempted to pass, and placed bis foot on the link connecting two cars; the train just then backed up. and his foot was caught be- tween the bumpers, completely crushing the bones of the front part of the right fvot so that amputation became necessary. Dr. Vedder took off the crushed portion of the foot, leaving the heel and ankle, and it is hoped that they will be saved, althongh the flesh is badly lacerated and bruised. We are glad to learn that Mr. Johnson is now doing well.’?

The Potomac Light Infantry, Capt. McH. Hol- lincsworth commanding, were out last night in fiilcue dress for the bp tert of drilling, and at- tracted a it deal of attention by their neat and soldie~-like appearance. Halting at the corner of High and Prospect sts,2 large crowd of ladies and yentlemen soon gathered, and witnessed with Pleasure their martial exercises. It was remarked that thelr marching was very creditable—many say better than that of the cational Rifles at the same place last week; and if the proper spirit ani mates them, we see no reason wh they should not attain to a ition equal to that of any corps | in the country. The officers are gentlemen of | spirit and ability, and only need to be seconded | in the right direction by harmosious action and | Military Zeal on the part of the members. Our | citizens generally are very favorable to the com- ny, and hope yet to see a battalion here, equal compete with any similar organization else- where. The drill will be repeated next Tuesday night, we believe. We regret to record the death, yesterday morn- ing, of a young and energetic business man, Mr James O'Donoghue, who succeeded his father the late Timothy O'Donoghue. He wasa gentl man of strict tutegrity, was pubife spirited, and charitable, and had made many friends by frank bearing and social manners Smoked giass is in demand this morning, and many bright terrestial eyes are in a tote! eclipse watching the partial obscuration of old Sol. The present interruption to navigation, caused, it is said, by the leak at Dam No. 5, makes busi. ness very dull along the canal.
