Yesterday the Congress of the United States suspended its session in honorable respect to a large body of troops marching through Washington to join the Army of the Potomac. It must have been no ordina ry reinforcement that could thus be compli mented in the Capital, where the uniform is more common than the dress of the civilian. This fact is one of many which show that the apparent quiet in Virginia is not the re sult of inactivity, but that an immense work is being rapidly and silently performed. The Administration is employing all its energies inthe organization of victory; great forces are being moved, equipped, and placed in posi lion. Not an hour of day or night has been 'wasted. Genera' tin.AITT will command an army which Nairotnon might have envied, and that army will have a commander, wor thy Of its own greatness. Yet it is very cautiously now that we hope for the capture of Richmond. Experience has taught us the folly of that careless faith in our own in viricibility which lost us one whole year and nearly gave Washington to the enemy. But with this loss has come the gain of a grander resolution, and the fourth year of the war beholds the Army of the Potomac, =dismayed, unwearied, never more deter mined, again advancing on Richmond. Such an unrelenting purpose cannot fail. On some great .day the rebel capital will fall ; and while we take care not to trust too deeialy, we know that never was there so muck reason for anticipating glorious victory in Virginia. L. there is little reason to doubt, is still motionless upon the Rapidan, there coneentratio4 all the rein forcements that can possibly be drawn from the West, and doggedly waiting for the ad vance of GuANr. At the moment we Write, our own army is stripped for action, delcying only to make its strength the greater, and almost ready for the word which shall summon it to the colossal battle of the age. Those who know how vast will be the victory, or how crushing the defeat, in Vir ginia, will not be startled by the surrender of General WEssims at Plymouth, N. C., or the report that General BANKS, though lie has won a victory, is temporarily re pulsed, and unable to continue his cam paign. The loss of fifteen hundred men, the suspension of a campa ign in Louisiana, nre third•rate disasters. It is not certain that the Louisiana campaiga has resulted in disaster, but we are willing to take the worst for -granted. It is much better to exagge rate our defeats than our victories. But all other military operations are eclipsed by the great movements in Virginia, and as a de feat there would blot out all triumph else where, victory must be fiftyfold compensa tion for all failure in other parts of the im mense field. The war is virtually concen trated between Washington and Richmond. 'What it may be three months hence, - who knows I' But now it is a struggle between GRANT and LEE; and upon them alone the eyes of the nation are fixed. Health StatMics of. Philatielptria. From Mr. WASHINGTON L. &ADEN, clerk to the Board of Health, we have re ceived a copy of the Annual Report to the Mayor, including the Health Officer's Re port on births, deaths, and marriages, for the year 1803. We repeat, what we have had much satisfactiOn of constantly testify ing, that the Department of Health, in this city, is extremely well conducted, at a singularly small cost to the public, by means of unpaid members and a few inadequately paid officers. Their Report is explicit, clear, statistical, and not tedious. The general sanitary condition. of Phila delphia in 1363, though disturbed by some cases of Spotted Fever and a general pesti: lenCe Of Influenza, was not much below the usual average. The absolute mortality for the year has been 1 in 43.5 of the popula tion, against 1 in 43.3 in the year 1362. The births have been 13,293 ; the deaths 14,220, and the marriages 5,474 in the year 1863. The Report, noticing the disinter "silent of 1,032 dead bodies in the year, strongly recommends that all burial grounds and vaults attadled thereto, in the thickly built districts of the city, should, by legisla tive enactment, be forever closed. On the subject of nuisances, and the de mand cleanliness of the city, the Board of Health takes a decided stand, and, while la menting that within the past two or three years Philadelphia has nearly lost her envi able reputation for cleanliness and health, strongly 'urges that the streets be not al lowed to remain in their present filthy state until the advent of warm weather, whereby serious injury to the public health may en. sue. The Board has the legal power to take such preventive and sanitary measures, and, pledges itself, in this Report, "to take the matter in hand, and at what. ever cost to remove the accumulated dirt," if Councils will not adopt an early and efficient system to secure relief. since the date of this report (February 1) some efforts have been made to cleanse the city, but, at the rate of, procedure, not a third of this work will have been done by the time the heated term has begun. It is scarcely too much to say, in view of the itecess* of having the city completely cleaned—not in its leading thoroughfares only, but in its by-streets, alleys,end courts— That no expenditure, judiciously made, which would secure this great boon, ought to be objected to by the rate-payers. Once restored to that clean and healthy condi tion of which her citizens were justly proud, it would not cost very much to keep the city in a creditable status. For details connected with the Registra tion Report we refer to the Report itself. It remains only to add that the expendi ture of the Board of Health, in 1863, has been 6'4,000 less than the sums appropriated. The money actually spent, for all purposes, is at 2 9 4 1 .0. The economy with which the Board of Health manages its money matters is worthy of praise and of imitation. LETTZR ,FROM "OCCASIONAL." WAsarnoronr, April 24, 1804. Midnight in Washington! The close of the Sabbath and the beginning of a week, during which many expectations of a great impendine battle will agonize thousands of hearts. The day has been marvellously lovely. The Southern spring, long delayed by frost, and rain, and snow, at last gives promise of a May of blossoms and of flowers, a summer of delicious fruits, and an autumn of healthy harvest& I almost saw the lilac flowering its dark pink robe, as I inhaled its grateful perfume this afternoon. The grass grew visibly green before, my eyes, and the birds carolled their joyous notes in unison with the chimes of the churches. The people were out on all the avenues and streets. Row happy they seamed 1 how well dressed I Now and then 1 - beard the bugle or trumpet-cillof cavalry, , then the distant roll of the infantry drums, :and in my near sight the artillery, 10 / me -rattling came feebly to my ears through the clouds of dust they made. At the very foot of the hill where the old house stands in which, in all the years of the war, most of these hurried letters have been written, is a colored Methodist meeting-house. It was their conference to-ciay, and the worshippers trooped in ; gaudily-attired women, stal wart men, jolly children. I lingered and looked from my single window, 'and rested, after a hard week's toil, upon the scene ; alba its their Sweet music came up to me, Jule the harmony of some heavenly choir, I thanked God that they were all fee. On ply right is an engine-house, where young. men do congregate to go to constructive fires, though, in truth, they do help to put out real ones. Over the way is Thaddeus m av ens, the veteran statesman, who, in his mellow old age, makes all loyal rtemocrats forgive bini for his former rancor as he forgives them , for their ancient assaults On him. As I turn my face north ward, I can see the Capitol ; solid, silent, and substantial, growing more mas sive daily under the eare of the Govern ment, and, like the Government, certain - to stand. The figure of Freedom crowned the dome this afternoon with a brighter look and bolder' mien than usual. I took my glass to gaze on her at her aerial height. She is sternly beautiful, and, though she gazes to the East, her Southern glance is full of forgiveness. As I write, the busy brains of yesterday 'who contended in Con gress are nearly all asleep, and the great city is as dead and quiet as if; over you rich and odorous hills, another dreadful struggle Were not impending. In the valley hidden by these hills many conflicts have occurred since the year 1861, when from this same window I could almost see the smoke and hear the guns of the contending armies. What of that battle soon, probably, to be known to us ? I would not, if I could, speak of the mighty preparations for it. But I may of my hopes. That the slave. Wants will fight bitterly, we all know. But when our brave boys are animated by the spirit of the little Corporal who writes the following letter, and for whom I am trying to get a commission in a colored re giment, can we fail I I got it from him yes terday, and send it you in its lead-pencil style, dropping only the name, which, if printed, might look like boasting now, but will not if he is killed or promoted ' • for the latter he is, I trust, sure to be, if he lives "CAMP OP 95TH ReOrMENT P. V. V., NEAR /laza'. Itiviut, - Vas 21,1861. Ig I received your kind and welcome letter of the and was very glad to hear horn you. I will not want a furlough now, but if you Can get them to promise me one as soon as the battle is over, I WOuld be glad. It will be a great victory on our Bide, I think; and I would rather participate iu it than go home just now, as it would look cowardly in any old soldier to do sm. I would rather be killed dead than be proclaimed a coward ; and, if it is ne- Meaty, I Will give up my life to our noble cause. Our brave boys in our little regiment are'just the boys to go in when they are wanted, as our list of killed and wounded will show. We have never broken, nor never will, in battle, as long as there is aMan able to WWII On his legs. At the heights of Fredericksburg, our regiment Joist seventeen racers, including four field officers. Got. G. W.

I hope and pray Major Feeler will respond to yollr letter. 1 intend doing all I can to - get my promotion, and I think. the dark days are now getting bright for rati. I will now close. We had a general review on the 19th, and General Grant congratulated our regiment on our fine appearance, and General Sedgwiek tuld the orderread throughout the corps about the good appearance of the 95th P. V. V. We always had a good:name, and we will keep it. Let me hear from you MOOD. lam now going to church, as we have it , every night in the week." I have spoken of the health, prosperity, and apparent happiness of Washington and its people, in this delicious springtime, and I desire to show what a nation we are, and what resources, what wealth, and what priceless freedom we enjoy. Oh ! think, however, what a sad springtime this is for our Southern brethren, for so I feel that I may still call them. Their wo men and children undergoing every pos sible privation ; their soldiers ragged and starving ; their negroes fugitives, or fight ing their masters; Richmond, their cAni tal, a scene of desolation ; their churches closed, or turned into barracks ; and an this not of their own producing, not the work of the Southern people, but of despe rate and cruel leaders, who, to secure them selves and posterity in arrogant power, as pired to put slavery above freedom, and de votion to aristocracy above their obligations to God. Abraham Lincoln sweetly sleeps in the possession of an easy conscience within a mile of where I now write, and I can almost see the White House through the gas lights. But what of that wretched man, Jefferson Davis, at Richmond, in this midnight hour? -May he not, as he re flects on his vain ingratitude, and contem plates the certain punishment in store for him, recall the torturing words of Ticiiard on the gloomy threshold of the battle of Bosworth Field ? is Mg conscience hath a thonsand several tongues, And every tongue brings in a several tale, And every tale condemns me for a villain. Lying, perjury, in the high 3 ct degree; Murder, stern murder, in the Meet degree; All several sins, all tied in each &arcs, Throng to the bar, crying all, —Guilty I guilty I I shall despair.—There is no creature larzz me; And, if I die, no soul will pity me:— Nay, wherefore should thejil since that I myself Find in myself no pity to myself. Methought tl.e souls of all that I had murder'd Came to my tent, and every one did threat To.morrow 3 r vengeance on the head of Richard." And which of the two do you suppose is more to be envied—John C. Breckinridge in his sleepless tent, or the dead Douglas in his immortal tomb on the shores of Lake Michigan ? Whose temper is the 'happier and whose hope the higher—General Grant at his headquarters, or the traitor Lee at his ? Such are the midnight reflections of OccAsroxAL.

MP WWI t• Wasting°TON, April 25.—The Navy Dmartment has received a communication, dated Aptil 22d, from Commander Fox, commanding the Potomac flotilla, in relation to the recent expedition up the Rappa hannock. Be nye : Raving learned from various sources that the rebel Government had established a ferry at Circus Point, a few miles below Tappahannock, on the Rappahannock river, and was briskly engaged in collecting boats at the same point on the river, for the purpose of attacking the blockading vessels, I proceeded thither with a /portion of the flotilla on the lath instant, Where I remained until evening. I visited all the ferries from Circus Point to Windmill Point, with the following result • : Two ferries were broken up, seven large lighters, each capable of carrying 100 men, three pontoon boats, twenty•two large skiffs and canoes, 200 whitnoak beams and knees large enough for the construction - of a shlp.of-war, he n twenly.two large boats, one of which is capable of carrying small arms, and a large amount of bacon, wheat, which were brought off at Bohler's Point, on the south side of Rappahannock Landing.

The rebels made an attack on the Eureka on the afternoon of the 21st anti were roundly thrashed.

Lee's army was preparing for a sudden move, tut was seemingly disposed to wait for Grant to open and develop his game." The movements of our gunboats up the Rappa hannock had raised an alarm in Richmond that Burnside man effecting a landing there, and a new alarm had been raised among the Confederates of a movement by the rederobs up the south aide of James river. The Confederates are divided between the fear that Lee may be invested in Richmond should he fall back there, and the fear that he may be out. flanked by Grant should he remain in ids present no- Two weeks ago Lee's forces amounted to 40,000, and it is believed that it is now, with the reinforce• meats he has been able to bring up, not above 85,000 men. _ • NORTH CAROLINA.
