Hurlburtis preparing toestablish the headquarters of the Gulf at Mobile, which it is believed will be in our hands before two weeks. Gereral Granger’s expedition is ready to start in conjunction with the Commodore’s squadron of 30 vessels. he Houston Telegraph publishes a corres- pondence between Lopez, the Mexican Com. mander on the Rio Grande, and the rebel Vol. Pierson The former expresses the sympathy of the Mexican Government for the rebels, and assures them that no raid will be permitted from Mexican soil. to the Front. Cincinnati, Ont0, Feb. under the Iast call, are moving to the front. The Kentucky Senate has rejected the Con- £titutional amendment. * General Palmer, commanding in Kentucky, announces that no S‘ate troops will be mus- tered, except into the United States service and under control of Federal officers. THE LAST DITOH, Charleston, during the last three years, has been regarded as the “last ditch” of the Con- federacy. The rebel newspapers expatiated upon the glory of dying in it, and the chivalry panting with military ardor, made rapid pro- gress from Bowling Greer, Fort Donaldson, Nashville, and Columbus, from Memphis, Corinth, Atlanta, Savannah, and innumerable other fields, with ditches in every style, avowedly bent upon the one grand object of perishing in the classic evacuation at Charles- ton. generals found no evidences of immolation. Neither Beaureguard, the pet engineer of rebeldom, who laid out the ditch, nor Pickens, its champion, nor the Charleston Mercury chaps, who were to tread down the dirt upon its contents when full, remain champions of the ditch, and apparently ever anxious to com- mence the dying, they became leaders in the wild flight from the city, abandoning homes, proper'y, relations, and the ultimate evacua- tion to the “hated Yankee.”’ Latest advices from the South report that the rebel engineers are surveying a new site for a ditch, and are only waiting upon the movements of Gen. Sherman to determine the locality. RATIONS OF FISH. A recent order of the War Department di- rects the issuing ofa ration of fish, viz: four- teen ounces of dried fish, or eighteen ounces of Pickled fish, to be made tothe troops once 4 | ‘week, in lieu of the ration of fresh beef. SURGEONS FOR HANCOCK'S CORPS. An application has been sent tothe Surgeon general asking the appointment of a surgeon and two assistants, with regular commissions for Gen. Hancock’s new Ist army corps. {[>" Shillington, Odeon Building, corner 44 street and Pennsylvania avenue, sends us a fresh and inviting bunch of reading matter, the Atlantic Monthly, for March; Our Young Folks, do.; and Madame Demorest's Mirror of Fashions, for the same month. THE INAUGURATION BALL.—The arrange- ments already made for the coming inaugura- tion ball, indicate that the managers propose that it shall surpass any previous ball of the kind ever held here, Gov. CurtTiIn.—Gov. Curtin of Pennsylva- nia arrived here last evening. THE FULL ANNOUNCEMENT in another column of the situation and prospects of the New York and Liverpool Petroleum Company, of which the Hon. Daniel S. Dickinson is president, suf- ficiently shows how firmly it has already es- tablished its prosperity. There is something peculiarly business-like and satisfactory in its pian of making its whole capital a working capital. This feature promises ample means for vigorous operations and prevents the dan- ger of keeping too muck of subscriptions dead in the hands of a few parties. The advantages offered by this com y are at least unsur- passed by any of thoce now in the field ot in- vestment.

On the other hand, they have un'formly con- sidered the best interests of the stockhclders as the only rule fowfeonducting’the concerns of the Company, and hAve acted in good faith upon this rule. The inducements offered in the original pros- pectuses and advertisements of the Company, and the high and unspotted charseter of the gen'le- may be addressed to the Company, >, 368% New York City,or to_** At- sury of the New York and Liver- , Company, No, 142 Broadway, PRTRoLeom i out | Then influential inits affeirs and inits board of ‘The “last ditch’ is in our possession, but our | officers, rapidly supplied it with the funds neces- sary fer a working capital ; and with one hundred thousand dollars in its tressury, competent agents were sent out ia the beginning of the present year, who passed a considerable time in the oil regions, in selecting from the numerous oil lands and interests offered te the Company, such as weuld afferd the soundest and safest sites for its mining werks This was successfully aecomp- lished. and the Company now owns interests ia by lands and other properties. oonveyed to it in fee, undisputed and certain titles, and paid for, toaa extent which constitutes am abindant real estate basis for its actual o1 ions in mining and ling Petroleum A det ‘d description of these pieces of property is given further on.

Inall these particulars itis believed that the Oompany standsin a remarkably high position. few waoggs will not be out of place on someef there head’. _ ManaGens.—Daniel 8. Dickinson, its Presilent. owes his bigh standing befora the people of the United States, even more to his firm and uncom promising honesty, than to bis remarkable ability as a leading lawyer, a brilliant speaker, and a wice and safe statesman. 4 The remaining exccutive officers of the Com- pany are gentlemen of experience and good repute ip the businesswor:d. _ The Board of Trustees includes not merely those gentlemen and others of good character and stand ing. but several whose circumstances constitute a special and peculiar guarantes for careful and judicious management. Such, for instance, are— JH. Angier, Bsq., who isa member of the very rich snd strong firm of Brewer, Watson & Co.; L. W. Myers, Exq., eve of the most prominent oil shippers of the petroleum mart of Titusville, and a gentleman of recognized ability and means. . Jennings, of Titusville, whose ccess as a business mam have already secured a considerable fortune; Wm. F, Newton, ng a well Known and cautious oil operator, and others The gentlemen just specified live in the oil region, where the intereste of the Company are situated, and in their immedi- ate neighborhood. Their own means have been to a great extent acquired in the oi! business. They understand the general principles ef business, and the specinl characteristics of the oil buginé=s in particular. And they ewn stock in this Company, which stock they hold fer the sake of thedividends which they believe it will hereafter yield. These circumstances together give as much certainty as human affairs permit, that the transactions or the Company will be carefu'ly watched, conducted in the best manner, and with that kind of economy which only an owner’s eye can enforce, CaritaL.—The capital of this Company already actually paid in is ample to carry its mining con- cerns into full operation, having, as bas been stated, reached $101,000 within the first two months of its existence, and being steadily on the increase by sales of stock now constantly made at the par value of $10 per share. in Workin@ QrGanizatTion.— For the practical nSture of the working organization of the Com- yaBy, the character of those who have thus far {ormed and conducted it must, for the present, be its guarantee. But it may be mentioned that the i Superintendent, Mr. H. J. & practical mining engineer of large expe- ided skill, and high local reputation. his employment as mining superintendent was instantly recognized in the oil regions in the vicinity ef the Company's Irnds. as a material enhancement of the value of the stock, and a proef of the sagacity of its managements USiINESS RULES.—Toe principle of operating for the interests of the stockholders is obvious enough of course. But the New York and Liverpool Petroleum Company exemplifies this plan,in a manner which elieyed worthy of stating parti- cularly, Th therule of scattering stock. It ia atixed principle of this Company to seek to place its shares rather in the hands of many small hold- ers than a few large ones. It thus avoids the danger of falling helplessly within the cantrol of any one or tworich men, who might them pro- ceed te make the Company a mere speculating ma- chine for their private gain, and might sell it out bodily, or ruin it. whenever they might choose. The managers of this Company have. in fact, once or twice already actually declined large offers made to them for buying their stock in great quantities, from an apprehension of the proba bility of such consequences, It has also adopted another beneficial rule, namely, not to held any property or interest whatever, which is not under its own exclusive control and management. Th: avoids depending (for instance) for the oil from }. onthe good faith and skill of other parties ating it. 2. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY OF TH. COMPANY. _ Very many parcels of oil property of different kinds have already been pressed upen the 0om- pany by numerous parties, of which, however, some were eondifonalle accepted only, and others Were withdrawn from its contrel by their holders, in consequence of changes in the crowded and excited o)] land market. In the exercise of their best judgment. aceordingly, and with due regard to the constant fluctuations of that market, as well as to tke profit of their Stock holders, the managers ofthe Company. after considering and often con- shrewdness and Gonpanys Minin, Burtis, trolling many diferent cels of land and oil i tereats have in the actua’ It preferred to obtain a mode: inount of accessible property of assur- ed worth ther than to grasp at unknown lands, poss't ly of fictitious value. and thus to become in- volved in trarsactions 8 eculative rather than moons and likely to 1 to endless embarrass- ments.

This tate consists of sbout five and a balf acres of ail good oil terrtery—and twenty-eight buildings It includes a dwelling house with twenty-four rooms, garden. barn, ice house. stabling, &c.. an efficient and valuable water- power, equal to eight- een horse-poweér, which saves the whole expe! mn engine for running works of the re- nd which may be easily used for drilling oxwhere on the estate; operating rooms, 11s, pipes, and other utensils, fixtures. &e, essary to constitute a full suit of first- clas#, efficient, labor. saving, . and economical refining works; a cooperin; barrel makiog es tablishment, machine shop, blacksmith’s shop, &c. These works are competent to turn out two hundred barrela a week of refined oil. The works have been run for four years without accident, and their product has already an established reputa- tion in the oil market. Reliable estimates sliow that, at 156 barrels of refined oil a week, the net profits of running the werks would be ever $120 a week. Upon the land attached to this estate thera fs abundant space for sinkiog twenty-five wells, which by shafting from the water-power, can be dine with asaving of the heaviest items of the whole, v steam engines, fuel and engineer's wares. Pipe for one weil bhas,in fact, already been driven down sixty feet; the derrick, shafting, &c., a e all ready, and the work is to be prosecuted at once. Negotiations are also now in progress for a vala- able tract of first class oil land: on Pit Hole Oreek. near the great United States Well now flewing from 200 to 300 bbis.aday, Thisis all oil land, fronting on the creek. having ample room for a hundred wells, and can readily be leased at from $1,000 to $2.0 an acre, besides balf the oil. A ES AND PROSPECTS OF THE COM- 3, PURPOS. aes Co! The Company will,*if expedient, fsom time to time, purchase other lands and interests; but will only do so for the sake of the dona fide acquisition of real values, and with the express purpose of promoting its own proper business success, In like manner, although the terms of the char- fer ofthe Company authorize it to prosecute other kinds of mining, it entertains no purpose of doing £0, preferring to confine itself to the suitable de- velopment of ita legitimate undertakings already commenced, waose present condition authorizes the expectation of profit evough to satisfy any reasonable desires. One of the Company’ already yielding cil; another will do so as soon a: the machinery, which is only out of order, can be adjusted; another is to be pumped at once, as soon as the tubes cao be put down: another givesevery indication of producing oil, aud two more are forthwith to be bored on very promising territory. Further, asall the capital of theCompany is work- ing capital, wells will continue tobe sunk to any extent which the results s3all justify, until the Gompany’s lands shali be fully developed. The Compavy’s refinery, which is beyond all compari- son the largest and best in Titusville,is alone competent te returm a revenue of some $2.4 a car, and this could be doubled by the expenditure of $10.0, The Company sould even make lave carne if it chose upon its real estate, without itsel oyeretina wells at all. i In order fully to understand the situation ofthis Company, it must be remembered that the petro- Teum bueinggg, vast as it seems, is only in its in- fancy; and tthe New York ard Liverpool Pe trolem Company is one of the earlier occupa” ts of the feld. How great that field is; how vast the quantity of merchandireto be procured from its mysterious subterranean deposits.’rad bow im- portant are its uses in the industry of the world,a The number of companies organized up to No- vember, 1864, in the three cit ea of New York, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, alone amounted to two hundred and fifty. During January, 1565. it was reckoned that a million and a half dollars aday of capital was pissing into petroleum investments, ap expenditure ead with thatof the present gigantic war,ard doubly wonderful becauee in- curred atthe same time. The receipts for crude petroleum at the wells’ mouth in Western Penn sylyania alone during 1834 reached fifty millions dollars, Petroleum is chietly in demand fer liczht- ing, both ag oil and asa gas producer, for lubri- cating machin, fuel, and for purposes in science avd the .. The extent of these de- mands is monstros, yet rapidly incraasing, For one of them alone, namely, greasing ma chinery, in England alone, the mantfactur- ers sold in one year, and that several vears ago, over four hundred thousand How permanent the secret springs of this oil sre, is shown by the history of the Asiatic petroleam wells.

The discovery of Petro- leum is 80 recent, and the necessary demand so teres and increasing. that this Company may be said to proceed upon a pe: ent basis. Their prospectus speaks frankly and ‘ly,and the nare of Mr. Dickinron, who has here, we believe, for the first lime associated his name with any eorpo- rate enterprise, should ratisfy the inquirer that it is nota mere speculation. Allof the funds paid in form the working capital ef the company, and no one connected with it is interested in selling the Company land or property at a fictitious value or at apy profit. Stockholders are mutually inter~ ested in all the protitaeftheompany, Several of the Trustees are located in the oil region, an have acquired their wealth and experience in the buriners, and haves personal supervision over the Compeny’s affairs. and it is expeated that large quarterly dividends will be regularly paid from the lst of January.

We have about fifty prisoners. The loss in killed or wounded is small on either side. The troops are pursuing the enemy, and the gunboats are moving up the river. Fort Anderson and its collateral works are very strong, and rendered almost inaccessible by swamps. A small force could htve held them until their supplies were exhausted My information is that the rebels have a line of defence behind Tom Creek, where they pro- pose to make a stand, if £0, it can, probably, be only short one.

THE GUERRILLAS. Owing to the activity lately displayed by guerrillas in this department, instructions have been issued to commanding officers to exercise the greatest care in posting sentinels and pick- ets, and no precaution will be neglected to guard against surprises. FROM THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC. Information from the Army of the Potemac states that the army was in great glee over the occupation of Charleston. A shotted salute ‘was fired all along the lines, in honor of the event. The weather was improving, and the roads again beginning to be good for traveling. MOSE REBEL BESERTERS. The mail steamer Dictator, which arrived here this morning from City Point, brought up 17S rebel deserters, including Oaptain S. C. A. Reaves, of the 59th Alabama, and a squad of men belonging to his command. LATE FROM RICUMOND. Wetaxe the following from the Richmond Sentinel of the 21st: Advance ef the Federals. A dispatch dated Goldsboro, N.C., February 19, says a Yankee foree from Newbern, some five hundred strong, passed through Green- ville Saturday, and when last heard from were advancing on Tarboro. It is thought to be a mere) raiding party. General Baker is after em. Another party is reported coming up the south side of the Neuse. No trouble is an- ticipated. The Sentinel contains no news of Sherman's army, or trom Wilmington, and its editorials are unimportant. SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.—The New York Tribune, of yesterday, says editorially : ««We understand that the President, after fall and free conference with his friends in and out of Congress, has concluded to appoint Hon. Hugh McCulloch, of Indiana, (now Comp- troller ot the Currency) as Secretary of the Treasury, Gov. Morgan having persisted in declining the post. Mr. McCulloch has had an eminent and successful experience as a financier, and emphatically possesses the confi- dence of the patriotic capitalists of the whole country.” = NAvAL CoMMIssIiON.—A commission, ot which Vice Admiral Farragut is the head, is in session at the navy depot at Philadelphia, for the purpose of revising the grade and pay of staff officers of the navy, which includes Surgeons, Paymasters and Engineers. As soon as this commissien reports, the Naval Com- mittee of Congress will take action in the mat- ter. —+ 20 -___ CONGRESSIONAL. THURSDAY, February 23, SENATE.—Mr. Willey, from the Naval Uom- mittee, reported adversely on petitions of chaplains and other officers in the navy for in- creased compensation. Mr. Howard called up the bill to authorize the construction of the Northern Pacific Rail- road through Michigan, in connection with a line to Ontariogon, Grand Rapids, Traverse Bay, Straits of Mackinaw, &c.,azd granting alternate sectioxs of land therefor, The Pab- lic lands committee had reported a substitute, granting the lands to the State of Michigan for the road, and it was accepted and pussed. Mr. Foot submitted a resolution for a new rule establishing a Committee on Currency and Banking, to consist of seyen members, which was laid over. Mr. Sumner, from the Committee on Foreign Affaire, to whom was referred messtiges of the President on the subject, ne ported a joint raso- lution making it the duty of the President to make known by proclamation to the people of the States the fact that testimonial exhibitions are to be held at Bergen, in Norway, and at operto, in Portugal, during the coming sum- mer, in which the sovereign of those countries haveinvited American co-operation, the Presi- dent to recommend response on the Part of ovr citizens, Mr. ion, from the vorably Military Committee reported the House jot resolution relative to Officers’ servants, Mr. Trombull desired to call up the joint resolution recognizing the State government of Lonisiana, Mr. Sumner hoped the Senate would proceed to the consideration of the railroad bill on which Mr. Nye was speaking at the time of adjournment yesterday. ir. Trumbull deemed the Louisiana subject of the utmost importance. Mr. Chandler thonght if the matter of admit- ing Louisiana was of such importance, it was e strange the gentleman should have Kept it in the Judiciary Committee so long. Mr. Powell offered a resolution calling on the President for a copy of General Order, No. %3, iesued by General Banks at New Orleans, Feb 23, 1864. Mr. Sumner understood tha: this was the order under which the election was held in Louisiana. Mr. Powell said it was, bu’ that General Banks had not reported in his letter on the Louisiana question, once published. Mr. Powell's resolution was adopted. The morning hour here expiring, the Chair decided that the railroad bill to regulate com- merce between the several States was before the Senate as the special order. Mr. Nye resumed his speech in favor of the bill, and controverting the view of Siates’ Tights which claims fof New Jersey the power to restrict transit across her borders. wHovsz.—On motion of Mr. Stevens, the con- sideration of the six hundred million loan bill WAs postponed till Monday. On motion of Mr. Morrill, it was resolve that the House will to-day take a recess from) half-past four until seven o'clock for the pur- pose of considering exclusively general appro- priation bille, only one of which, he said, had passed both Houses. The House resumed the consideration of the bill reported yesterday from the Gommittee on the Judiciary, namely :—‘'hat so much of the joint resolution explanatory of the act to sup- press insurrection, punish treason and rebel- lion, and to seize and confiscate rebel property, approved July 17, 1562, as prohibits the for- feiture of the real estate of rebels beyond their natural lives, be repealed, this act to take ef- om and after its passage. Se arinaereestal motion was made to lay the bill on the table—yeas 65, nays 69, the Speaker giving the casting vote in the negative. 2% The bill was then passed—yeas 72, nays 71. The Houre resumed the consideration of the Senate bill reported from the House Commit- tee for the District of Columbia yesterday, with amendments, authorizing the Metropoli- tan and the Washimgton and Georgetown street railway companies to charge eight, in- stead of eight cents fare. Mr. Patterson said that owing to the transfer ticket system, one-fourth of the travel is free. He showed yesterday that the losses of the Washington and Georgetown Railroad com- pany amount to $18,000. year. Eight cents a passenger is charged in Philadelphia and other cities. The losses of the Metropolitan cempa- ny were $651 a week. That company would have to stop unless relief were Ae He further stated that thestock of the Washington ard Georgetown Railroad company is selling in the market at its original cost, with but few buyers. Mr. Stevens wished to know whether colored persons were not ejected from the cars. Mr. Patterson said some moan conductors had so acted, but the president of the Washing- ton and Georgetown company had informed him such conductors had been discharged. Mr. Dawes wished to know what was the meaning of the signboard attached to cars, «Colored persons admitted.” Mr. Patterson replied that that notice was painted in good English, and no man could better understand it than the gentleman from Massachusetts. [At this point bills were reported from the Committee for the District of Columbia and passed, namely :—Authorizing the Corporation of Georgetown to levy special taxes for certain purposes, and incorporating Messrs. Delmon- ico, of New York, and Messrs. John W. For- ney, H. D. Cook and others, of Washington, as the Vontinental Hotel Company of this city.} The House resumed the consideration of the bill amendatory of the charters of the Metro- politan and Washington and Georgetown Rail- road Companies. Mr. Schenck thought the argument foran in- crease of fare would apply to merchants and others. If the cost of horses, provender, ma- terial, etc., has increased two or three times as befere the war, it should not be overlooked that the railroad companies do five or six times as much business as they did heretofore. Mr. Washburne, of Illinois, caid a bill had heretofore been introduced to reduce the fare to three cents. This Washington and Geerge- town Company had _ been spoken of as an abused Corpcration. It was notso. He knew that there were gentlemen who would at once construct a street railway from the Capitol to the Treasury Department, and charge only three cents, if Congress will give them a ehar.. ter. Mr. Davis, of New York, in reply, said the @ompany would still turther lose unless the proposed relief shall be granted. He said, in reply to a question, that the free list on the roud included members of Congress and em- ployees, the pelice, and otners, ‘ Pending the consideration of this subject, the morning hour expired. TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. GOOD NEWS FROM WILMINGTON. General Schofield Mowing upon Wilming- -ton—Capture of Fort Anderson. BALTIMORE, Feb. 22.—Fort Anderson was captured on Sunday by General Schofield and Admiral Porter. Most of the garrison escaped towards Wilmington, though the fort and all the guns were left in good condition. The army wae following on towards Wil- mington, accompanied by two Monitors, and it was expected by the messenger that Wii- mington would be in our possession on Monday; LOCAL NEWS. ee THE Brapy CeLerRation aT Forp’s THE- ATER.—Ford’s Theater last night presented a novel and brilliant aspect. It had been floored levei with the stage, transforming it into a ball room of unsurpassed magnificence, and the attractiveness of the beautiful and cheerfal room had been added to by extensive decora- tions appropriate to the occasion. The stage wus gay with bunting tastefully draped, and wis adorned also with handsome pictures; and the tier fronts, with their novel freight of caged canaries, (who chirped their part of the programme yery merrily in the pauses of the bigger music,) were made otherwise pictu- resquely attractive by graceful festoons of evergreens. The gymnastic portion of the entertainment, by the pupils of Mr. Brady, was exceedingly good, and the numerous well done feats were continously applauded. Mr. Brady gave some of his own remarkable performances, with so Much grace and ease that many in the audi- ence re probably quite unaware of thejr immense difficulty. Some brilliant professional performances in the same line, by the Hanlon brothers, closed this part of the programme. The floor was then cleared for dancing, under the managership of Prof. L. G. Marini, the accomplished teacher of the art, and the scone, as viewed from the boxes and and upper tiers, from this time forth until gray morning, was brilliant in the exygreme. So tavorable an op- portunity of overlooking @ ball-room throng going throngh the gracful mazes of the dance, was perhaps never before enjoyed in Washing- ton; and the novelty and extreme beauty of the spectacle kept an immense assemblage of spec- tators lingering for hours. Among those present we noticed Mr. John T. Ford, the energetic proprisior of the Theater, and he might well feel proud of the superb look and handsome behavior of his pet establishment in its new programme of exercises. The two bands, the ball band, led by hand- some William Withers, and the military band, led by Spittichi, gave an unflagging abundance of capital music. In fact the whole arrange- ments were very complete and handsome, speaking well for the committee of manage- ment. ——— ASSAULT ON THE SUPERINTENDENT OF Po- Lick.—This morning, John Burns, a driver of an emnibus running between Willard’s Hotal and the Baltimore depot, was placed on trial before Justice Gilberson for an assault and battery on Superintendent Richards, of. the Metropolitan Police. Mr. Davidge appeared for the defence, and proposed to give bail for Court. From the evidence it appears that last evening about five o’clock, the Superintendent of the Metropolitan City Railroad, Mr. Em- Mert, called at the house of Superintendent Richards, and desired him to go with him to the Washington and Baltimore depot, as the backmen and omnibus drivers persisted in ob- structing the track of the Metropolitan rail way. Upon arriving at the depot the accused was found to be occupying the track, and when ordered to move his team replied in an insult- ing manner. A few moments after a car ran into the wheels of the omnibus, and upon at- tempting to arrest the driver, Mr. Richards was struck withjthe butt of a heavily loaded whip, making a deep gach onhis head. Assis- tance arriving the driver was finally arrested. Justice Giberson held the prisoner to bail for Court in 2500. Several corporation cases growing out of the transaction were about to be disposed of by fine of $5 and costs, but as Mr. Davidge want- ed to appeal and eould not, the Justice con- sented to issue warrants in each of the Gorpor- ation cases, and allow them to be ruled before Justice Thompson for a hearfog. Superintendent Richards, by his conduct in this and other cases, showed tnat he is disposed to share equally with his men in the hardships and dangers of the police service. see ee FirE ALARM OUT OF OrpRR.—Several com- plaints have been made that on the occasion of the fire night before last the fire alarm box at the corner of 11th street and Maryland avenue could not be worked, and it was found neces- sary to gotothe box at the Franklin engine house before an alarm could be given. It is reported that the boxes are very liable to be- come diearranged in consequence of a misun- derstanding between the police and fire alarm departments, each insisting thatit isthe duty ore other to keep the telegraph stations in order. Lzvy Court.—Ats special meeting of the Levy Court, held atew days since, thé Treas- urer was directed to pay Thos. Woodward Coroner of the county, $500, in part payment of the judgement recently obtaimed against the urt OMT. Burr offered a resolution directing the committee before Congress to use their influ- ence to obtain ag appropriation from Congress to meet a just proportion of the jadgement and costs obtained by the Coroner of the county, 83 wellas the fees which have accrued since; snd also to procure the passage of a law giving the Corporations of Washington and Georgetown and the Levy Court power to appoint Coro- ners for their respective jurisdictions, and to regulate thefees Adopted. The President was requested to call the at- textion of the Mayors of Washington and Georgetown to the tact that judgement had been obtained by the Corener. a Toe resignation of B. U. Keysier, as School Com missioner of the 7th district, was Teceived accepted, and John Fox was elected to the vacancy. —— FourTH Warp Sration OAses.—Middie- ton Birkhead, assault and battery; dismissed.

MILITARY OFFENDERS.—Since the discon- tinuance of the prison at Georgetown, and the removal of the guard to other points, the poliee have been considerably troubled with soldiers arrested for various offences. This morning & Sergeant notified the Police that hereafter he would call daily at the Station house for such military prisoners as were in custody, andjhe requested that all suchJprisoners might not be discharged, but retained until he shall call for them. The Police will cheerfully comply with this request. POLITICAL QUARREL.—This morning Hi! lary Hutchins snd James Semms got into a dispute about the merits of the candidates for the mayoralty. The dispute grew warm, and Hutchins told Semms that his vote could be bonght for a drink of whisky. Semms replied thet Hutchins told “a d—d lie.” They com- menced to fight, but were arrested by Officer Harper and fined $2.41 each for disorderly con- uct. o ILLUMINATON.—Last night the Custom house was brilliantly !lluminated, and the proprietor of the Post Office Restaurant, next to the Cus- tom Houee, also illuminated his building, and these two buildings attracted much atten. tion, the handsome display being greatly ad- mired.
