LOCAL MTBUimCB.
Tb* Mai*b L\w?On Sunday night, a
meeting ff Temperance League, No. 1, ?aa
held at the Hall in E street, on which occasion
General Carey, of Ohio, addressed those as
sembled. at great length, in favor of the Maine
Lav, contending that the attempts made to
regulate the liquor trade had baen tried and
had all failed. He maintained that the liqu >r
traffic was not the subject of regulation, aud it
*u proved by experience for the simplest of
all reasons, that it was an '-irregularity," and
therefore an irregularity was n>t a proper sub
ject for regulation. Could a surgeon regulate
? cancer ' and the licensing aystem was like &
pooltke applied to a cancer, which only ag
gravated the disease The only way to sure
it is to cut itout; it cannot be regulated. He
contended that government had a right to med
dle with persons private business, for instance.
cne man follows thieving; another makes coun
terfeit money, and the Government interferes
with their business. A butcher puts up n
slaughter house where it is hurtful to thv
neighborhood, and the City Councils prevent
it. Soch an interference wis all that the
Maine Law supporters required, namely, thai
the liquor tellers should be removed to where
theyeould sell their liquor without hurting the
moral* or well-being of the neighborhood.?
Chief Justice Taney, from the bench of tho
Supreme Court, had said that no man has a
right to introduce into a neighborhood any
thing tb?: will endanger the life and health,
or peril the public peace and virtuo of the
community. He would ask what was the dif
ference between civil liberty and natural lib
erty7 The latter was the liberty to d > what
we'liked; civil liberty was the same, abridged
so far as society demanded it, and therefore
in the liquor trade it had a right to interfere.
He went over the various objections alleged
against the Main^ Law. saying that we gave
up our personal liberty, and even our lives
when society required it. as instanced in wars
between our own and other nations. Civil
governments could not exist without the right
of the government to seize and destroy a man's
property if it cboses for the public good If a
nouse was on fire, the firemen would not ask
permission to tear down an adjoining house if
it was required, or even to put in a keg ef
gunpowder, and blow it up if necessary, and
yet to destroy liquor was considered a terrible
waste of property. A man could not grow
upon bis ground what he liked ; he could not.
for example, grow Canada thistles, at least he
could not in 'Jhio, for he would be fined for
doing so. and even if he did not cut down, by
the 20th of August, the thistles growing by
the way side. The speaker continued at cou
ciderable length, interspersing his address
with various anecdotes, some of them replete
with humor, and concluded by apologizing for
the length of time that he hid detained them,
although he was not subject to the hour rule
?: Congress speechifying.
Usioi* Choir Association.?Yesterday eve
ning, the members of the Union Choir Asso
ciation, which is composed of the Ch?ire of a
number of churches in our city, assembled at
Wesley Chapel, at the corner of F and 5th
streeu. for the purpose of a grand rehearsal of
sacred vocal music of all the choirs combined.
The members of the different choirs occupied
the body of the church amounting to several
hundreds, the ladies being seated in front, and
the exercises were gone through under the
leadership of Mr. F A Tucker, the conductor
of the choir of the M E. church South These
were very beautifully executed, and were pre
faced by a prayer; they consisted of hymns and
anthems, and were sung in excellent time, no
instrumental music affording them its aid.
At times the grand chorus singing was varied
by the execution of duets, quartettes, Ac., by
individual choirs. The first, a duet and chorus,
was performed by the Fifth Presbyterian
Church. In the course of the evening, the
Navy Yard Baptist Church, the Ebeneier
Methodist Church, and the Church of the As
cension also contributed to the exercises of the
evening. The choir of the last named church,
under the direction of Mr J. L. Clubb. gave
the gem of the evening. The last piece sung
was the Old Hundredth, which was directed
? by Mr. Tucker in excellent style, and the ex
ercises concluded with the benediction. It
was announced at the termination that the
next re union would be on the fourth Monday
in June, at the Lutheran Church. The effect
of the melodious blending of so many voices
in singing the anthems of praise to God, re
sounded grandly and solemnly through the
sasred aisies. raising the soul to thoughts and
contemplations of the hosts that sing *' Salva
tion to our God!" around his own eternal
throne!
Crossing the Track.?On Sunday evening,
as the train was proceeding from Baltimore to
Washington, when near the crossing of the
Washington turnpike, two negroes who were
standing some distance from the track in the
road, attempted to cross the track in front of
the locomotive. One of them, however, stop
ped on approaching the train, whilst the other,
thinking that he had time to cross kept on,
and was struck on the heel by the cow-catcher,
and knocked some ten feet off from the plate
where he stood. The train was<>topped imme
diately, and on taking the injured man up, it
was found that both tne knee joint* were dis
located. Su^h was the violence with which he
was struck, that the impressions of the nails
in the heels of his boots are distinctly visible
on the cow-catcher. He was taken un. and
plaeed on board the train by the eudu to-,
Captain Owens, who paid him every atten i n;
and on the arrival of the cars at the Annapolis
junction, he was sent to Baltimore by the up
train, and placed in the Infirmary, where he
now is. ILs name is Reuben Tilghman, and
he acknowledges to being drunk at the time
that he attempted to cross. The number of
the engine was 127, the engineer's name,
Gougb.
Interesting Relics ?Several interesting
relics of the revolutionary war, consisting of
the standards taken at the surrender of York
town. and which were presented by the Con
gress of the revolution to General Washington,
m commander in-chief of the combined armies
of America and France, were brought over,
on Thursday last, from Arlington House, by
the venerable Mr. Custis. and presented to
the President, as a gift of General Washing
ton's sole surviving executor to the govern
ment and people of the United States
Among those old standards are a British
and Hessian one. The British is the regimen
tal colors of the 7th regiment of the line. In
the centre of the famed red cross banner is
the Order of the Garter, surmounted by a
?rowc, with the motto, " Horn soil qui ma/ y
ptnse."' The IlessiaB standard is elaborately
worked. In the centre is an eagle soaring
aloft, in one talon a trunebeon of command,
in the other an olive branch. Motto, ik I'ru
Princes*e et Patria. 1775."
Both flags are of silk, and nearly eighty
years old. dilapidated by time
They have been temp- nrily dep? sited at the
War Office, but it is raid that the President
intends to submit the final disposal of tbem to
the Congress, to form a nucleus around which
to be gathered all the standards of the past
and of the future triumphs of the Ameiican
arms It has been suggesied that a portion of
the magnificent room in the eastern wing of
the Patent Office would form a fitting site for
the Halt of 'l'riH7mpJi, the Temple of Victory,
to contain all the trophies of the army of the
I nited States.
Nebraska Prodi-ct.?A fine specimen of one
of the natuial products of the Nebraska ter
ritory. the lignum vitse wood, was presented to
us yesterday, having been brought from that
far-off country by the delegations of Sacs and
Poxes who were staying in our city. The
cample of the wood is of a very fine sort,
deeply colored, and beautifully grained, and
it will be a valuable article of trade, from
the high price of this wood, when the terri
tory is once opened to settlers.
A New Military Com pa jit.?Last night, a
number of our Irish adopted fellow citizens
met at Copp s Saloon to form a new company.
The preliminary meeting was very well at

London 114 consecutive nights.

of any importance transacted yesterday in
either of the boards; what was done, had
reference merely to local improvements and
both UK Board of Aldermen and Board of
Common Council adjourned at an early hour.
I? Good Time.?Yesterday afternoon, at the
conclusion of the parade, Capt. Teneycke, of
the Arlington House, invited the Washington

W aahington, May 22.1854. ]t
THE F0REIG5 NEWS.
The news by the steamship Franklin,
a brief synopsis of which we gave under
our telegraphic head yesterday afternoon,
is more interesting than important. By
this arrival, we have fuller and more de
tailed particulars of the bombardment of ]
Odessa.
It had been telegraphed through Vien
na that the bombardment of Sevastopol
commenced on the 28th of April. This
news was not generally believed to be
true, but it was thought that the two ad
mirals had drawn the fire of the shore
and strand batteries at Sevastopol, for
the purpose of testing their range,
preparatory to more serious operations.
A considerable improvement had taken
place on the Paris Bourse in consequence
of a report that Denmark and Sweden
had joined the Western Powers.
Marshal Paskiewitsch declares that
Little Wallachia has been evacuated sole
ly from strategetic reasons, and that the
Russians will soon return to Krajova.
Great Wallachia, it is now said, is not to
be evacuated.
Three ships, conveying Greek volun
teers, have been sunk by a French steara
er near Salon ica.
The Austrian troops have entered the
territory of Montenegro.
We learn from Paris that the Emperor
has decided on the formation of ti/o
camps, one of one hundred thousand
men near St. Omer, and the other of fif i,y
thousand men near Marseilles.
Advices from Constantinople state that
the Sultan is seriously indisposed.
The Turks advanced from Kalafat to
Krajova on the 1st iust., and it is ru
mored that the Russians intend to eva c
uate the whole of Bulgaria.
The London Herald of the ?th, affirms,
in a telegraphic despatch from its special
correspondent on the Baltic, that on tht*
5th of May the British steam frigate
Leopard, bearing the flag of Rear Admi
ral Plumridge, came into Stockholm with
news that the Russian fleet was coming
out of Helsingfors. The commander-jn?
chief instantly signalled the English floct,
and made ready for sea.
The Paris correspondent of the London
Times writes as follows. The Emperor,
it would seem, is determined to follow
in the foot-steps of "my uncle."
The establishment of the camp be
tween Montreuil and St. Omer is thought
to be quite as much directed towards
Prussia as towards the Baltic or the Gulf
of Finland, and, in case Prussia showed
symptoms of foul play, it is not improbable
that this army, joined by a formidable
Belgian contingent, would find its way
to the banks of the Rhine. Jt is whisper
ed that the Emperor reserves to himself j
the command of this fine army, and that
he will establish his camp at Pont-de
Brie, which his uncle had once his head
quarters. He will have his Guards with
him. The corps of 50,000 men at Mar
seilles will, it is said, be commanded by
General Rostolan.
lhe following intelligence respecting
the missing steamship City of Glasgow
will excite hopes?but hopes, we fear,
that will end only in bitter disappoint
ment:
There are now strong hopes that the
long-missing steamer, City of Glasgow,
has been heard from, and that she may
yet be safe with all on board. A dis
patch from Cork to the Messrs. Rich
ardsons, states that on the 27th April, a
large steamship, answering in all respects
to the appearance of the City of Glasgow,
was seen steering for the Azores, a dis
tance of some four hundred miles there
from. She was a large steamer, and al
together like the City of Glasgow. There
were strong hopes that it was her.
The steamer City of Glasgow (sup
posed to be) was spoken in latitude 45
degrees 30 minutes. She had a bark
along side, and was steering towards the
Azores. Her masts and other portions
of the rigging were taken for firewood.
The ship seen had yellow paddle
boxes, and therefore induces the reluctant
belief that she may not have been the
City of Glasgow.
Under the head of ' the very latest
news,"' we find the following dispatch,
dated Vienna, May 8 :
The journey of Marshal Paskiewitsch
to Kalarasca and Silistria haj^ been indef
initely postponed.
During the last week several confer
ences have taken place between Count
Buol, the Larl of Westmoreland, and M.
de Bourquenay, at which conditions were
agreed upon, to be offered by Austria to
Russia, after the former has occupied
Bosnia, the Herzegovina, and Upper Al
bania.
The conditions were said to be found
acceptable by Baron Meyendorfl". They
were regarded as being probably the final
attempt of Austria to restore peace before
she declares herself.
The Constantinople correspondent of the
London Times, under date of April 30,
furnishes the following items:
Lord Ragland has arrived here, and
the unpleasantry in which the Porte was
involved with the French Embassador
has been satisfactorily arranged.
The demand of General Baraguay cTHil
liers has been conceded, and an apology
for the delay has been made to him on
the part of the Porte.
There are fifteen thousand English
now here, and as many more French ap
proaching.
The fleets were, on the 25th of April,
before Sevastopol.
Fifteen Russians merchantmen were
seized before Sevastopol.
A rumor is current at Galatz that the
bombardment of Sevastopol began on
the 28ih, but the statement requires con
firmation.
A part of the troops in the pay of
llayder Pasha have received marching
orders for Adrianople.

Philadelphia. May 22.?At a meeting of

of the main line, stating that $3.000.000 wouli
be required for the removal and repairs of the
Roai and Canal, and they estimate the total
va'ue at only J7,000.000 The report takes
ground against the purchase at the rate of
$10 OOO.OW specified, as the minimum price in
the act of the Legislature. The report was
referred to a Committee of the Stockholders ?
to report upon two weeks hence.
A report wa? also read from a committee ap
pointed to visit Chicago, relative to the apph>
cation of the Ohio and Indiana and Fort Wayne

IMrectora adopted a resolution that, in the ab
sence of authority given by the Legislature,
and in the present financial difficulties of the
country, the measure was inexpedient at the
present time.
