THE EVENING STAR. W. D. WALLACH, Editer and Proprietor WASHINGTON CITY: THURSDAY...... MARCH 2, 1865. IMPORTANT SOUTHERN NEWS. SS Jee Johnso Adéress to his Troops—Ad- dress of Gov. Brown te the Georgia Legis_ jature—Davis Charged with Weakness nd Obstinacy—Call for a State Conven- tion—Advises the Organization of State Treops, Independent of Davis. pS as Richmord papers of Tuesday have been re- ceived, but they contain no news from Sher- man. e Gen. Joe Johnston has issued a stirring ad- dress to the troops of his command. He was in Cheriotte on the 26th. Goy. Brown, of Georgia, in Bis address to the Legislature, complains that Georgia was Abandoned to her fate by Davis,and says that the only time Sherman could haye been re- sisted was when he set outon his march east. He advises the formation of State troops not to be made under Davis in any emergency. He opposes the arming of slaves, and deems them of most use as laborers, and assigns as a rea- son that they do not run off is because they fear tobe put inthe Yankee army, and says | that if they were placed in the rebel army they would desert by thousands. Gov. Brown calls for a convention of the State toamend the constitution, and closes in the following langnace: “My destiny is linked with my country. If I succeed I am a free man. If by the obstinacy and weakness of onr rulers we fail, a common ruin awaits us all. The night is dark, the tempest howls: the ship is lashed with turbu- | lent waters; the helmsman is steering to the whirlpool; our remonstranges are unheeded, Snd we mustrestrain him or the crew must Sink together and be buried in irretrievable roin.’* FROM CHARLESTON. a OFFICIAL DESPATCH FROM GEN.

The lot includes $8 and 10-inch columbiads, a great many 32 and 42-ponnder rifles, some 7-inch Brooke's rifles, and many pieces of for- eign make. We also captured eight locomotives, and a great number of passenger and platform cars, all in good condition. Deserters report that the last of Hardee’s army w&s to have crossed the Santee river yes- terday bound for Charlotte, North Carolina, and it was feared that Sherman had already intercepted their march, It is reported on similar authority that the Jast of Hood’s army, 12,000 strong, passed tbrough Augusta Iast Sunday, the 19th, on | its way to Beauregard. | Georgetown has been’ evacuated by the ene- My, and is now in our possession.

Fd 3 O'CLOCK P. M. ———SS— . CONDITIONS OF RELEASE. t About a week ago we alluded to the fact o' the release of a number of Washington and Baltimore merchants tried by Gen. Dou»le- day’s military commission, for selling goods to blockade runners. The War Department directed that in consideratien of the punish- nt already undergone by Jas. H. Wheeden, Meyer Waliack, Louis Heilbrun, Thomas Ww. Johnson, Philip Wallack, Samuel Heilbrun, Robert M. Sutton, Charles E. Waters and Jno. H. Hennage, they be released from further im- risonment during their good behavior, under heir respective sentences, and that they engage in -no illicit trade nor farnish any aid or com- fort to the enemies of the United States, and hold no intercourse with them during thesame THE Crry RAILROADS.—Elsewhere in our columns will be found 4 report of the late de- bate in the House on the question of increas- ing the rates of fare on the city railroads. Our sympathies have been so much with the large portion of the community who are ac- commodated by riding at the cheapest possible rate that we have been very much disinclined to admit the necessity for an advance upon the precent rates of fare. We knew that the tare of 5cents was very much below thatin any other city in the country for the same length of travel, and we were aware that the running expenses of the road have more than doubled since the commencement of the war, and es- pecially in this city, in consequence of the government competition for horse feed, &o., have increased much more proportionally than at any other point, but we hoped that despite theae drawbacks the companies would be able to weather it with perhaps the omission of a dividend or two. x But an examination of the facts in the case ferces upon us the conviction that the ranning expenses of the roads now so-far_exceed the in- come that the question of an iccrease of fare is one literally of life and death to the compa- nies. In common with the community at large we have seen the street cars at times overflowing with passengers, and supposed that the roads were doing an excellent business. But the de- ceptive nature of this seeming prosperity is shown when we estimate the immense num- ber of transfer passengers (more than one- fourth of all) who crowd two sets of cars with the same freight; and another faet is usually lost sight of, and that is, that the crowded cars which meet the eye are those running in the middle portions of the day, as the morning and evening cars generally ran light. An exact average of the number of paying passengers te each car on the Wash. ington and Georgetown road shows but 15% to each trip, we are informed, and we pre- sume that on the Metropolitan road the num. ber is considerably less. The price at which city railway stock has been sold is equally deceptive as an argument against an increase of fare. The fact is that the community has been bitten with the idea that street railway stock wasa sort of Forta- natus income producer, and have scrambled for it in a way that has run it up frequently to high figures; an experiment not likely to be repeated by many of them, in view of the only moderate rates of interest heretofore paid, and the fact that dividends are likely tobe few and far between in future. The street cars haye nOw become an indis- pensable necessity, and the question is whether the companies shall be broken down beyond hope of adequately accommodating the public, by forcing them to run at a ruinous loss, or whether they shall be enabled to keep their heads above water by a moderate increase of fare, temporarily. There is no danger, we take it, that Congress will in any event grant them an increase of rate one moment longer than the present enormous running expenses of the roads justifies. Affairs in Georgetown. SPEECH OF Mayor ADDISON.—At the close of the polis in Georgetown on Monday last Mayor Addison was called on by an immense assemblage in frontof Lang’s Hotel for a speech, when he addressed them as follows: Fellow Citizens: If you will give me a little more room, stop your cheering and be quiet, I will talk to you awhile, but I would much rather, at this hour, be in bed. it so happens that I stand now in the identi- cal spot which I occupied just twenty years ago to receive the kind congratulations of my friends on my first election to the Mayoraity of this town. With an intermission of two years, only, I have been regularly re-elected to that office up to this day, and have beat- en every candidate that has been arrayed against me. Very few men, anywhere, can be proud over such an almost unbroken series of triumphs ind sncceszes, And, what is somewhat remarkable, these victories have almost always been achieved when my political party was in a hopeless mi- nority. At times, too, when it was the fashion of my present opponents to sneer atand vilify Abraham Lincoin, and to denounce me asa reckless Black Republican, and to draw down upon me the fury and power of popular preju- dice and deep-toned political animosity. But the present effort to awe and intimidate me has hardly a parallel in the annals of party audacity, and about which I have a few words to Bay. At the outset of this contest, a club of twen- ty-three people, as obscure as insolent, calling themselves “A Union League,” ordered me not Again to be a candidate fer the office of Mayor, as they wanted a man to be elected of theirown standing and claims upon the people. Ofcourse I treated that order with all the contempt it deserved, and became a candidate at the re- quest of anumber of well known and decided- ly decent people, men of property and men of character. But it was soon found that the club had a good deal of trouble on hand, as they had no fit person among themselves to run, and could find no fit man, outside of the club, who would consent to receive their nomination. Now, what a disgusting spectacle is here exhibited—twenty-three obscure and irrespon- sible ignoramuses assuming to dictate to four- teen thousand people how and by whom their municipat government shall be conducted. As well might twenty-three of the smallest kind of mice assemble in a tin cup to make rules and regulations for the management Of a first-class menagerie. In their desperation they went, as the last sort, te Dr. Cragin, a well known spiritualist, who, after rapping and tipping the tables, told them that the wisest of the spirits were dect- dedly of opinion that Geo, Hill, jr., was their only available man. In consideration of the value ef this disclosure from the spirit world, the «tin cup club” directed the Corporation of Georgetown to bless the said medium with a salary of six hundred dollars per annum for spiritual services to the club aforesaid, and therenpon George Hill, jr., was nominated witha due degree of enthusiasm. The medium was then @irected to ascertain irom the other world the probable saccess of their candidate. On this occasion the tables were fearfully agitated with the revelation that the medium must call immediately on President Lincoln and have Addison with- drawn from the contest early on the day of election, when the course would be clear and success certain. The medium told my good friend, Joseph F. Browr, of Washington city, that this was the scheme, and that it could not fail. But that order did not eome, and you now, my tfellow-citizens, inform me, with all this noise and confusion, that Addison is again elected by something of a4 rail-splitting ma- jority. The good Doctor has just informed his deluded friends of the tin cup that he had re- ceived another despatch from a very familiar old spirit that all of the brethren had been evertaken with a sudden contempt for the tin eup convention, and had lost ali confidence in the loyalty of Hill, 8s it was his fashion tospell loyal “tiel;” further, that he had been lying about his attending soldiers’ hospitals, and that Addison had the proof, in black and white, that both Hillard the medium had refused to give a dollar for the families of the soldiers in 1862; while he (Addison) had given his mite of $100. The medium, too, made the start- ling disclosure that all the spirits had voted the Lincoln ticket, ia November last, and that they were very mad with Hill and the tin cup convention because they refused to subscribe adollar to pay the expenses of Father Abra- ham’s election, while ‘old Addison” had free- ly given one hundred dollars, and that he had e proof of this trom “headquarters.” The medium, too, was much exercised at the farther message that ‘Dr. Charles H. Cragin was & humbug of the tin.cup stamp. “In conclusion, I will not say “woe unto you etl phariaee B, Ay Soc ee ee ray the to have merc; On. at Ae saints, and. «diel candidates for the Mayoralty of Georgetown. t,4 y friends, my strength is exhaRsied, [oan only bid you good night. 5 O'CLOCK P.

A Rebel Picket Camard—Large Numbers of Deserters Coming In. The steamer Qity Point, Capt. Tolbert, ar- rived here this morning at 8X o'clock, from City Point, with the mails and an unusually large number of passengers, including many females. Tuesday night some of the rebel pickets got up a cheer along the lines, and when hailed by our pickets as to the cause, they replied “that Gen. Sherman and his staff had been captured by a cavalry dash.” 5 This was of course a bit gf Confed chaffing, asthe Richmond papers make no mention of such capture, as they would be sure todo if any such piece of good luck had befallen them. On the contrary the Richmond papers are par- ticularly gloomy in their tone, showing that Sherman is pursuing his victorious career un- checked. f A large number of deserters came into our lines on Tuesday night. Seventy-six were brought up on the Vity Point, and turned over to Provost Marshal Ingraham. The City Point touched at Point Lookont, and landed twenty-five prisoners of war sent up by the Provost Marshal General of the Army of the Potomac. ‘ Quite a number of prisopers captured by Gen’l Schofield have reached Point Lookout within the past few days.

THE SEASON OF LENT.—The Lenten season. observed by the christian community, espe- cially the Oatholic and Episcopal Churches, commenced yesterday and was scrupuiousy observed. The following regulations for the obserynce ot Lent have been published by the Archbishop: ‘+ All the faithful who have completed their twenty-first year, are, unless legitimately dis- pensed, bound to observe the Fast of Lent. They areto make only one meal a day, except- ing Sundays. The meal allowed on fast days isnot to be taken till about noon. At that meal, if on any day permission should be granted for eating flesh, both ‘lesh and fish are not to be used at the same time, even by seasoning. A small refreshment, commonly called collation, 1s allowed in the evening: no general rule as to the quanti-y of food permit- ted at this time is or can be made. But the practice of the most regular Christian is, never to let it exceed the fourth part of an ordina: meal. The quality ot food allowed at the coi- lation is, in this diocese, bread, butter, cheese, all kinds of truits, salads, vegetables and fish. Milk and eggs are prohibited. General usage has made it lawful to drink in the morning some warm liquid, as tea, coffee, or thin clioc- olate, made with water Necessity and custom have authorized the use of hog’s lard instead of butter, in preparing fish, vegetables, &c. The following persous are exempted from the obli- gation of fasting: Young persons under twenty-one years of age, the sick, niirsing women, those who are obliged to do hard labor, all who, through weakness, cannot fast with- out great prejndice to their heaJth. By dis- pensation, the uee of flesh meat will be allowed atany time on Sunday, and once a day on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Satur- days, with the exception of Holy Thursday, and the second and last Saturdays of Lent.” SSS PoLicE ReroRts—Second Precinct.—Susan Lewis, assault and battery: dismissed.
