Forrest Hall was crowded again last night
to bear the discussion upon the all-absorbing
subject of Retrocession. The meeting was or
ganized bf appointing John Diokson, esq.,
chairman, and John Kid well, esq., secretary.
VVm. U. Tenney, esq., at the solicitation of the
friends of the measure, delivered a speech of
some length in favor of it, and recapitulated
the many advantages that Georgetown would
derive from the consummation of the measure.
Samuel McKenney, esq., was then conducted
to the stand, and after stating to the audience
that he had arrived at an ago when he felt
more disposed to seek the shades of quietude
and retirement than to enter again the arena
of politics, went on aud reviewed the speeches
of Messrs. Addison, Ould, and Tenney ; and on
the other hand showed the many disadvantages
of Retrocession, and the many burdens that the
citizens of Georgetown would have to shoulder
if they went back to Maryland, which they
would be exempt from in the District of Colum- .
bia. He also hastily reviewed the condition of
Georgetown for the last fifty years, and cited a
number of striking events in her history during
that period, and concluded with some very sen
sible remarks in favor of annexation to Wash
ington. The meeting then adjourned to meet
again on next Wednesday night, nt the same
place and hour.
The Georgetown Debating Society meets on
Friday niglit, at 7 o'clock, in the town school
room. Subjcct for discussion: Retrocession to
Maryland, or annexation to Washington.

we believed he would bring to the discharge of
tliis exalted trust, but wo believe there is not an
individual to be found in the Whig party in Ten
nessee who has done so much for the up-build
ing of that party, for its preservation, and for the
spread and triumph of its principles, as James C.
Jones. And although the Whig cause has never
failed to triumph under his lead, yet in every
instance it has been at greAt personal sacrifice
to himself, not only involving pecuuiary loss,
but in somo instances affecting his general
health. * * * * Besides, it is universally
admitted that ho fs one of the most brilliant
men in-the State. Such a man will reflect the
highest honor upon Tennessee iu the Senate."
The influence of the lieyitter was well di
rected, and men of all parties are gratified at
beholding this distinguished son of Tennessee
in the higher branch of our national councils.
His advent is opportune, too, for the greater
lights of the Senate are passing away, and their
places must bo well supplied.
A Dangerous Fellow at Larue.?It is said
that the Panther that cscaped from a menagerie
at Bull's Ferry, New York, some time since,
has been disturbing the neighbors at Ilacken
sack. It is also reported that he had killed a
child and several cows in the vicinity of West
Hoboken, and was on Wednesday morning
prowling about Bergen. On Thursday, a party
who went out to hunt the panther lost a most
valuable hound. It appears that he attacked
the panther and was overpowered, his head
being dreadfully mangled, and his skin stripped
from his body.

ESSENCE OF COFFEE.

rpiHR ESSENCE has been proved by many thousands
X of the richest and most respectable families, as well
aa by the poorer class of people, inmost through the whole !
United States, to bo by far tile lest preparation of Codec
ever offered to the public. Coffee made by thl< Essence
is much more wholesome, more delicate, fine-flavored, ;
perfectly clear, and, in every instance, superior-to the
finest Java coffee.
In order to give full satisfaction and proof that the
above article is perfectly healthy, and to show something
of the deserved reputation It has gained and justly enti- i
tied to, we annex a few certificates and recommendations,
particularly relating to health, from Dr. Booth and Dr. j

Philadelphia and New York; also, from our Agents, all
of whom are prominent Chemists and Druggists.

which time my suffering* were intense, both of body and
mind. I tried every thing I could think or hear of, (aa
there wax much symputliy for me,) and at length all ef
forts failed to cure me. I became much weakened, and
could walk but a very short distance lit a time, and waa
often in the net of falling upou the pavement, (I would
stop in pome door or aliey to prevent it,) in contequenea
of frequent palpitation*; and, from what 1 could learn,

CIRCULAR.
Washington, Auffutt 1, 1861.
SIR: After consulting many persons interested in the
principal Railroads in the United States, the under
I signed propose to establish agencies in this city and In
New York, for the purpose of collecting full and authen
tic Railroad statistics and such other information as will
enable them to serve persons desiring to invest in Rail
road securities, or to procure information of any matters
connected with the comtruction and administration of
Eailroads. They also propose, especially, to urge upon
Congress a modification of the laws relating to contracts
for carrying the mail, so as to authorize the Post Oflloa
Department to contract for the perpetual use of Railroads,
ami, Instead of paying, as now, quarterly on contracts for
four years, toadtauci.' in five per cent bonds of the United
States, chargeable upon the revenue* of the Post Office
Depsrtment, an am unit, the Interest upon which at 0 per
cent, would equal the psyincut* now made.
The Government now' pays (4C0 per mile for carrying
the mail on firi t-c!nss Railroads, This is 6 per cent, on
(ft,000. The undersigned would urge that, instead of pay
lug foOO a mile, per annum, the Department should de
liver, ou a contract hi perpetuity, fivo $1,000 bonds,
bearing an interest of five ]>er centum. At this rate the
chaige upon the Department would be reduced from $800
to $250 a mile, p< r annum, and the (60 a mile saved
would create a sinking fund, which will. In a few years,
pay off the bonds, and give the use of such roads forever
thereafter tree of all charge; thereby effecting a vast
saving on the present unuual expenditures of the Post
i ifflw Department, and a consequent reduction of the
rates of pontage.
The effect will be no less advantageous to Railroad com
panies than to the Government. For Instance, such a
contract would give to the Baltimore sud Ohio Railroad
Company more than |;2,000,000, which would enable that
company to complete its road at an early day, and greatly
Increase its business and profits.
Rut to meet objections and impress the public mind
with a proper sense of tbc lieneflts to result from this
measure will require concert of action and continued
active effort, through the press and otherwise. The un
dersigned tender their services to your company, expect
ing a reasonable compensation, partly contingent upon
the success of the measure; and respectfully suggest the
propriety of your sending one or more delegates to this
city, on the first Wednesday In December next, to oonfer
with delegates from other Railroad companies, as to the
details of the proposed arrangement afWl the best mode of
bringing the subject before Congress.
Should it be your pleasure to accept of our services In
this matter, we will promptly attend to all other business,
which you, or your Company, may have with the Poet
Office Department, or ether branch of the Government.
Hoping to bear from you st your earliest convenience,
