tional hearth-stone. It is equally infamous
to say that they are controlled by politicians
whose interests lie in the continuance of
dissension and disunion. There is no mo
tive in the North, not even that of cupidity,
for the maintenance of such a condition.
There is, on the contrary, an eager longing
for reunion. But strong as it is, there is a
resolution equally strong that there can
be no reunion that is not based upon
principle ; and so based as to be fixed
and immovable by all the future de
viltry of traitors. Hence the value of
the action of the Mississippi State Conven
tion. Followed up by consistent legisla
tion, it will doubtless be responded to by
the Conventions of South Carolina and
Alabama, both of which meet on the 10th
of September, who will in their turn be
imitated by the sensible people of Georgia,
Texas, and Florida. The rapid acqui
escence of these States to the demands of
the most earnest Union men of the North
contributes immensely to the success of the
President's policy ; and if this acquiescence
is werfollowed up by consistent laws in the
newly organized Legislatures, Congress will
be amazingly propitiated, For, after
what is done by the late rebellious States,
must undergo the revision of Congress.
Should their work be discharged with fair
ness and humanity, there will be little dis
position, (beyond the exercise of a constant
and benevolent guardianship on the part of
Congress,) to interfere with the progress of
rehabilitation. OCCASIONAL.

On delivering his credentials, he said it was

as: ore the President of the Constant friend
ship of the Ring, and to express the sincere
wishes of his Majesty for his personal happi
ness, and for the prosperity and wellbeing of
the United States.
As for himself, the 'Minister said, he should
have no other object in endeavoring to de
serAie the President's favorable regard than
to maintain friendly relations between the
overn went of Belgium:lna that of the United
States, and to ilraw more closely the ties of

Agri:cultural Report.
The mentbly report of the Agricultural De
partment for _August says the returns of the
con•epondents Are Very flip, and show a
slight falling of in the wheat crop in the New
England and Middle States—something over
a half million of bushels, a loss of about 1,750,000
bushels in the States of Maryland and Dela
iwnre, end a deficiency of 0ver20,000,000 bushels
in the Western anti Northwestern States, Tim
corn crop eNbibits the greatest promise, it is
everywhere good. The potato crop is almost
as promising as thatof the corn. The other
crops harvested will be ample for all domestic
purposes, mid that of oats will he very large.
The prospect i 5, therefore, that the injtkry
the wheat crop will be more than compensated
by the unusual excellence of the other crops.
Time tobacco crop is the only one which exhi
bits a general falling off in the amount
planted, The heavy internal taxes on the ma
nufacture and product, and the apprehension
of a tax on the leaf, are assignee by some of
the correspondents as a reason for this di
mint,bed production.
The amount of Wool and the increase! of
sheep are ehOwn by the table to bear a like
proportional advance to that they have exhi
bil ed since 1861. The report says: "The re
bellion bas given to this great interest a pros
perity winch protective laws, under high
tariffs, failed to accomplish for it."

OHIO POLITICS.
Meeting of the Democratic State Con-
1 ention
CmcDMATI, August %.—The State Conven
tion assembled at Columbus yesterday, and
organized by electing Rufus P. Ranney Presi
dent. The following ticket was nominated:
For Governor, General George W. Morgan;
Lieutenant Governor, Wm, Long; Supreme
Judges, F. Vantrump and Thos. Melity ; State
Treasurer, George Spence ; Attorney General,
Daniel M. Wilson ; School Commissioners, S.
C. M. Wilson and IL 1.1. Barney ; Board of Pub
lic Works, C. Basil ; Clerk of Supreme Gourt,
D. S. Donor.
The resolutions oppose a consolidation of
power in the hands of the Federal Govern•
merit ; maintain the doctrines of State rights,
as laid down in the Virginia and Kentucky
resolutions of 1798; declare that the ordinance
of secession being void, the Southern States
are still in the Union as States, and entitled to
all their reserved rights, and to their due re
presentation in Congress; denounce all efforts
to confer the right of suffrage upon negroes ;
discourage negro emigration into the State;
'compliment the soldiers for their valor and.
fortitude; regard the national debt as a na
tional curse, and demand the exercise Of the
most rigid economy; recommend that the
national tax be collected by the county trea
surers, as far as possible, and that the mili
tary commutation tax be repealed ; denounce
the arrest of citizens by military authority
in States where the civil tribunals are unmo
lested; declare that the continued suspension
of the habeas corpus since the termination of
the war, and the denial of right of trial by
jury, and interference with the election by
military power, as in recent instances in Ken
tucky and Tennessee, are revolutionary of the
Constitution ; and the last resolution declares
that while we so resolutely condemn all in
fringement of the Constitution, and while we
regret that the term of pacification agreed to
by General Sherman, in April last, were not at
once - ratified by the Federal Executive, we
will nevertheless stand by President Johnson
in all constitutional efforts to restore to the
States the exercise of their rights and powers
within the Union,

Nnw TORT, August 25.—The lastest San Fran
eiscO papers received by the Ocean Queen give
the following details of the ravages of the pi
rate Sbcpandosh :
The' Shenandoah had destroyed the bark
Susan Abigail near the Gulf of Anadyr. It
seems that the Susan Abigail had San Francis
co papers of the lath of July, eontaininm fLO•
counts of the collapse of the rebellion, bat
the pirate; Waddell would not credit them,
as they came from Northern papers, and
announced his. intention of burning every
American vessel he could find. After de
sire:ol)g the. Susan Abigail the pirate went , to
-
„: 104 1y Behringts Straits and he Arctic Ocean.
At et.. Lawrence Island lie burned the ship'
General Williams, of New London, and the
next morning be burned live more vessels.
The bark General Tike had arrived at San
Franeisco with the crews of the seven I ,, :isels,
viz bark Susan Abigail, ship Gen. Williams,
bark W. C. Nye, of New Bedford bark Gipsey,
of New Befilord; harks Catharine, :Nimrod
and 1 abella,.ail of New Bedford.
- -
paroled prisoners report that Captain
Nye m
, of the alhail, must have succeeded in
notifying sonic of the vcssels of the proximity
of the pirate ' as four were seen putting back
icon after, and, with those notified by the
Ucncral Pike, some thirteen were turned back.
The General Pike wee bonded by the pirate
fOrf.ils,lM, and two himdtfid and seventy-one
Oilicers and men of the destroyed whale ships
were put on board for Snit Francisco. Among
those turned back by the General Pike were
the Addison Pierce aini a Canton packet, both
of New. Bedford.
It is believed that the pirate will oertainlY
destroy fifty more vessels, as they,were all to
the northward.
The bark Richmond was also warned off, and
sailed from Plover Bay for the Sandwich Is
lands.
In conversation with Captain Smith, of the
ship Wm. Thompson, the pirate asked - the
news. Captain Smith replied that PreSident
Lineoin had been assassinated. "I was pre
pared tourer that," said the pirate, exultingly.
lie d hl not believe that Lee had surrendered.
Among the people on the Shenandoah was
an Englishman, who seemed to be prospecting
for the purchase of fine vessels to put on a line
between Australia and New Zealand, and it
was probable that he would purchase some of
the captures male by the pirate.
The otheers of the Shenandoah talked of
arming, two of the whalers, to go up and de
stroy the whalers at points which the pirate
could not reach, and were very desirous to en
list the captured crews. In some instances
they were successful la obtaining men in this
way.
The Kanakas, an English vessel, laden with
coal, was seen by the ship William Gifford,
bound for the Shenandoah.

which might have been cut to answer all tit

A sketch in pencil, drawn by one of the in
mates. of the prison, was here exhibited to tht
tvit116.4.9i who said; Mere was Dr. Dates (NO
- the beef; here is Dr. Dates (No. nh
giving meat-bones to the cripples. It was his
prerogative as officer of the day to supervise
the cooking. When rations were to be issued,
he would frequently go to the place; some
times twenty or a hundred would surround
him Imploring for bones; he was represented
as distributing' bones; that was Of frequent
occurrence ; the sketch was accurate as far as
it went; there ought to be twenty or forty
figures in the space where one only appeared ;
the men sketched hobbled along on crutches ;
others crawled On the ground with tin cups in
their mouths, because they could carry these
articles in no other way; they wanted to mash
up the bones to procure their contents for
food.
Mr. Baker remarked that Dr. Bates looked
much better on the witness-stand than he did
in the sketch.
The witness thanked the gentleman for the
compliment.
The Judge AdVocate proposed to offer in
cyjdonce n morning report of the surgeon act
ing as officer of the day, and asked the witness
to examine the handwriting.
Mr. Baker objected, saying the prisoner was
charged with conspiracy and murder. If the
defendant had conspired with other parties,
these must be before the court. No court
could put in testimony in relation to other
parties, and try them in their absence. What
ever was put in must bear on the penal
before the court. He asked whether the cow',
could try persons not before it. The evidence,
sought to be introduced was not strictly ap-)
plicable to the defendant. There was nothing
to connect Captain Wirz with this " morning
report," and with the surgeon in charge.
The Judge Advocate supposed the gentle
man was perfectly aware that parties to a con+
spiraey could be tried singly. To save time
he would recommend to the counsel " Russell
on Crime" and "Starkie on Evidence."
- - - - - -
Mr. Baker replied that these authorities
showed that where conspirators were to be
tried the court might, on application of cm
set, elect in separate and try the Parties sepa
rately ; but in this ease the alleged conspira
tors have never been before the conrt to ter
for a separation. They were not even in cas
tody. They were at large. It was not known
that they ever would be tried. In a civil coot
he could ask that the charges he quashed.
The court decided to admit the paper, whilil
was road, AS follows
Finso , DivisioN C.
September 5, Net
Sin: As officer of the day for the past twenty
four hours I have inspected the hospital and
found it in as good condition as the nature of
the eircumstances will allow. A majority of
the bunks are still unsupplled with bedding,
while. in a isortion of the nmelon the tents are
entirely destitute of either hunks, beddingi or
straw, the patients being compelled to lie
upon the bare ground. I would earnestly call
your attention to the article of diet; the corn
bread received from the baker's being mails
up without sifting, it is wholly unfit for the
use of the sick, and often, as in the last
twenty-four hours, upon examination, the
inner portion is found to be perfectly raw.
The meat and beef received by the pa
tients does not amount to over two ounces a
day, and for the last three or four days no flour
has been issued. The corn bread cannot be
eaten bymany, for to do SO would be toincrcase
the diseases of the bowels, from which a large
majority are suffering, and it is, therefore,
thrown away. All their rations received by
way of sustenance is two ounces of boiled beef
and half a pint of rice soup per day. Under
these circumstances, all the skill that can be
brought to bear upon their eases by the medi
cal officer will avail nOthing.
Another point to which I feel it my duty to
call your attention is the deficiency of medi
cines. We have but little more than indigo.
nous barks and roots with which to treat the
numerous forms of disease to which our atten
tion is daily called. For the treatment of
wounds, ulcers, &c., we have literally nothing
except water in our wards—this article being
so limited in supply that it can only be issued
for eases under the knife. Some of these
wounds are filled with gangrene, and we are
compelled to fold our arms and look quietly
upon its ravages, not even having stimulants
to support the system under its depressing
influence.
- -
I would respectfully earl your earnest atten
tion to the above facts, in the hope that some•
thing may be done to alleviate the sufferings
of the sick. I am, sir, very respectfully, your
obedient servant, J. DREWS PELOT 7

AFTERNOON SESSION.
The Court, at one o'clock, took a recess till
two o'clock, when the direct testimony of Dr.
hates was concluded.
Cross-examined by Mr. Baker.—ls a resident,
of Louisville, Jefferson county, Georgia, and
was there when the war broke out; up to ,Tune,
remained at home as a practicing phy
sician, being, in consequence 011dS profession,
exempted from service in the Confederate
service; he had had no sympathy or wish to go
into it; he did not vote or do anything else to
bring on the war; he accounted himself a
rn ion man • seeing that Governor Brown was
resolved to 'bring all males between fourteen
and sixty years of age into the State militia,.
he became a contract surgeon; to keep out of
the State trenches; he took au oath to the
Confederacy ; it was forced upon him at the
point of the bayonet, and, being under duress
at the time, he did not consider it was now
binding.
liegmtSiliOnS were made on Dr, Clayton for
hospital supplies; and not on Captain Wirz . ;
never heard any blame attached to the pm.
loner about the .badness of rations, nor his
Milne mentioned in that connection; Captain
Wirz bad always treated the witness kindly,
and he never saw him use any harsh means on
anybody ; the Confederate soldiers had several
AVeng on the ontSide of the p4son; tile witness
did not think they were supplied with water
from the same source that the Union pri
soners were, the latter drawing their supplies
from the stream running through the prison;
he judged the stream of itself was not un
healthy, but the lower part of it might have
been, from the drainage of the camps; Ander-
Salvino wee merely a - railroad station until
the war commenced, when military shanties
were put up. The witness was asked
he laid
any opinion that there was a conspiracy there
to cause the death of Union prisoners.
The .1 udge Advocate objected to the question.
It might as well be asked whether the witness
believed the prisoner guilty. It was of no cell
sequence.
'Mr. Baker replied that the question was of
sufficient importance to cause an objection
from the learned gentleman.
The court decided not to sustain tile objec
tion. The witness was then asked whether he
knew of any persons who, by their conduct,
conspired to murder Or otherwise ef6040 tho
death of Union - prisoners? lie replied he had
never been so impressed ; lie had always ob
jected to the insufficiency and character of the
rations ; the shortness of the allowance was
owing to its having been furnished by the
Soul horn Confederacy; further supplies could
pot be furnished extept by going to the eoun
try, and none of the officers had the right to
go foraging ; the surgeons always am the
best they could, and frequently complained to
the Surgeon General about the insufficiency of
means furnished.
By the Court. Supplies were received from
the :.;ortli from the Sanitary Commission, and
he saw some of the prisoners wearing the
clothes which had been furnished.
jir, A. W. Barrows, sworn, , -4fe testified that
he had served - as a:physician to the' 7th Mas
sachusetts; was taken prisoner at Plymouth,
and finally found his way to Andersonville,
where he was paroled by Captain Wirz,.and
placed in charge of two wards of the hospital
ho remained there six months, till the Oril of
October, when he made his escape, since which
time he bad practiced medicine at home;
when he went to Andersonville there were
six or seven hundred patients lying on the
ground ; they were partially naked, some
had broken limbs and gangrene, scurvy,
and clyeanic diarrhoea; nine-tenths of the
patients were lying on the ground ; while
the Others had insudiffient shelter; Captain
Wirz would say, when any prisoner escaped
or attempted to escape, that he would starve
every Yankee for such attempts ; the

together with room fora man's neck; men
thus fastened could, some of /them, stand on
their feet, while others merely touched the
ground with their toes; the chain-gang was
sometimes composed of six men, and some
times eighteen ; they were handcuffed, and
chains passed around their necks and legs, and
to these chains a thirty-two pound ball was
fastened ; the gang would be held together one
or two weeks, the men meantime being ex
posed to the sun and rain, which had the effect
of weakening and reducing them; he had no
doubt of thefact that some died in consequence;
another kind of punishment was putting the
feet in stocks, the feet being elevated, and the
other part of the body on the ground ; the
witness never got from Dr. White what he
asked for, there always being some evasive
answers; anti-scorbuties were much needed but
not supplied ; he proposed, butthe authorities
refused, to allow the witness to take men and
cut timber,which could have been procured ten
reds distant: hounds were kept near the hos
pital toot the trail of escaping prisoners, WllO,
when caught, were brought back and put in the
stocks; the witness knew of a ease where a
man under such circumstances was mangled in
the face by one of the dogs, but recovered ; an
other case came under his observation; it was in
August or September,lBal, when a Union priso
ner was Wounded by one of the hounds; he died
indirectly from the bite, but directly from the
gangrenous; he had seen Captain Wirz on
horseback with hounds, but Turner seemed to
have direct charge of the dogs; he had heard
Wirz order Sergeant Smith to start tile
hounds, as somebody had got away ; sores as
large as his hand had resulted from vaccina
tion; the matter used was poisonous, and
many deaths and amputations resulted; the
ration when he went, there was Small, two
ounces of bacon, a small potato, corn bread,
two and a half inches square, no coffee tea,
sugar, and flour; sometimes there was a little
rice soup, a gallon of rice in thirty gallons of
water I "Itt July they got a few vegetabhip, not a
spoonful a day; the morals of the prisoners
were corrupted by the cruel treatment ; Medl
would steal from each other something
to eat, and would work among the filth
even for potato° parings or anything else ; a
Union man in his ward was shot within the
hospital by a Confederate soldier, and wound
ed in the thigh ; the limb was amputated, and
the man died next day when a raid was ex
pected from Glen. lillpatrick the witness heard
Capt. Wirz give an order to fire upon the priso
ners if they huddled together; there were
from thirty-three to thirty-six thousand priso
ners there at. the thne, and in the month of
August, as appeared from the official report,
nearly three thousand died ; on the removing
of the prisoners from Andersonville one of
them fell back, when the witness saw Captain
Wirz knock the man down and it stamp
hadirz a
upon
him ; this was in September, lsi
revolver in his hand, but the witness did not
know that Wirz used it to knock the prisoner

ANDERSONVILLE.
Return of the Government Burial Par
ty—Report of the 'Work they Aceem-
plished.
Captain Janice M. Moore, Assistant Quarter
master, who left Washington onthe ethofJuly
last for Andersonville, Georgia, for the avowed
purpose of giving event burial to the remains
of our murdered heroes, returned to that city,
having successfully accomplished the object of
his visit. The Captaie reports that he arrived
at Andersonville on the 25th ultimo, after hav
ing experienced considerable difficulty in pro
curing transportation for himself and his par
ty Of mechanics and clerks. The work Of
painting and lettering the head-boards for
the graves was immediately commenced and
finished, occupying nearly the whole time of
the parties stay. There were 13,000 neat
hette-boards set up, an appropriately lettered,
giving the names . , and, a,: far as known, the
regiment and companies of the deceased. The
Captain found the graves nearly alt marked
with a neatly-painted stake, numbered; the
numbers on the stakes corresponding with a
record kept in the hospital of the prison, giv
ing the names of those buried. The Cemetery
is about fifty acres in extent, and nearly three
hundred yards from the stockade. The dead
w ere all buried in the trenches—in many cases
over one hundred in a trench. Mounds were
created over each body, thus forming graves.
A neat white fence has been erected around
the cemetery, and the place made to look
as inviting as possible. Pleasant walks
are being laid out, which are to be
shaded by such trees as are indigenous to that
region. Captain M. says the country for miles
around Andersonville is almost devoid of ver
dure Of all kinds, except rank reeds, and
stinted pines, and live oaks ; the climate he
Considers extremely unhealthy, the heat be
ing intense during the day, the heavy dews
falling at night penetrating the tents of the
Part*, and saturating theirblenkets. Just be
fore the party left, a flagstaff was planted, and
the American colors were thrown to the
breeze. A trustworthy superintendent has
been appointed to take care of the cemetery
and perfect the idea of Captain M. in the
laying out of this modern Golgotha, and
the surrounding grounds. A sufficient
guard has been placed over the grounds Dy
Gen. Wilson, commanding the military forces
in that region, and every care is to be taken that
the remains of our braves shall rest undis
turbed. There were within the enclosure of
the stockade sheds about fifty yards iii length
and eighteen feet in width ;there were nosideS
to these so.called tenements, but they were
merely upright poles supporting a roof The
stockade, with all the buildings, are to remain
standing until they fall by decay, lit monu
ments of the heinous crimes committed within
their limits. Miss Clara Barton, the, philan
thropist, who accompanied the expedition for
the purpose of collecting evidence as to the
whereabonts of our missin g n , men, returned
with Captain Moores party. One of the party,
a clerk, died from typhoid fever, and was
buried in the Cellfetery. There were about dye
hundred buried by the rebels, of Whom no id•-•
cord was kept, and consequently their remains
could not be identified. The remains of only
one body were found unburied, the rest hav
ing been interred in the trenches.

Collision in Chesapeake Bay.
ONE PERSON DROWNED, AND TWO INJGEED
BALTIMORE, August 9.s.—Last night, about
midnight, the steamer George Leary, Captain
Blakeman, from Baltimore for Norfolk, with
one hundred passengers and a large freight,
came in collision off Cove Point with the
propeller Sea Gull, of the new outside sea line,
from New York for Baltimore. The Leary was
cut down to the water's cage, but the shifting
of the freight fortunately lifted the injured
portion above the water line, and preyented
sinking. The passe»gers and their baggage
were transferred to the Sea Gull, and reached
here this afternoon. The Leary was towed
into the Patuxent Inver. The chief steward
of the Leary was lost overboard; and the
chambermaid and a dockhand were badly in
jured, the latter it is thought fatally.

was rendered them until Mr. Andrew Reeves

Cap
tain Smith, Captain Hewitt, Mr. Lit

the afternoon, and took the crew off safely.
While we are penning this, the crew are in
our office, from whom we gather the following
facts :
The schooner Bohemia, of Philadelphia,
commanded by Captain radley, was bound
from New York to Philadelphia, laden with
staves. In the storm Whin prevailed on Tties•
day evening, a portion of her sails were blown
away, and she sprang . a leak. , While endeavor
ing to make her way into the bay, at about two
o'clock on Wednesday morning, she grounded
on Great Shoals. The crew took to the rig
ging, and from early morn until noon they
signaled in every possible way, while vessels
on the Henlopen side, within a few miles of
the wreck, paid no attention to their calla ;
and bud it not been for the timely and noble
help of the parties named, they would have
certainly perished. The vessel and cargo will
be a total loss.—Cope May Ware, of Thurscley.
Thundry Storm and Tornado in Rieh•
[Front the Richmond (Va.) 11.2 public of Thursday.]
A very violent thunder storm passed over
this city yesterday afternoon, about five
o'clock, and was accompanied by a tremen
dous gale of wind, which Uprooted trees from
the sidewalks; and leveled many of the old
standing walls from Eleventh street down to
Fifteenth. An old wall, part of a house for
merly fronting on Main street, near the cor
ner of Fourteenth, was blown down, and
falling upon the building now in course of
creation on the west side of Fourteenth
street, between Main and Cary, for Mr. Gard
ner, of the firm of Gardner, Carlton, Ss
knocked down a large portion of the rear wall,
broke about twenty-four of the second-story
joists, and materially damaged the side walls.
Air. Joseph Hall, a bricklayer, and two negroes,
named Bill Richardson and John, formerly a
slave of Mr. Randall Maynard, were at work
upon a culvert in the basement at the time
of the accident. The boy John being a fear feet
nearer the rear of the house,was caught under
neath the falling wall anti instantly killed. Mr.
Hall bad his collar-bone broken, and was se
verely injured in the head by a niece of falling

A Ham. Git aCAI. BADLY BEATMC—An affair
occurred at the City Hotel last evening which
is to be regretted by , the friends of the parties
concerned. The rebel General Wheeler, who
is in the city for the purpose .ofevi
dence for the defence the trial of Champ
Ferguson, was lying In bed in his room, which
was catered by Colonel Blackburn and Cap Lain
Quinn, of the lit Tennessee Mounted infantry,
'who proceeded to give the ex-General a terri
ble caning. His cries attracted parties to his
assistance., and he was rescued from his in
furiated Castigators. Tile cause assigned for
this attack is said to be that anner,tl Whceleg
had threatened to kill Colonel Blackburn, anti
had called hint opprobrious names. Wheeler
was so badly beaten that medical assistance
was required. The weapon used was a heavy
walking stick, with which Wheeler's head was
terribly contused.
Another account has it that the two °facers
were shown to Wheeler's room, when Colottel
B. inquired if he addressed General Wheeler,
who replied that he did. Colonel B. then an
nounced himself, when Wheeler extended his
band but at once received a blow with a cane,
which was rapidly followed up, Wheeler re
treating out of the room, shoutin murder,
Captain Quinn following up the raid

curious construction, to Abraham Lincoln.
ifi. Kinman has now constructed a chair, to

made of two grizzly bears, captured by him
self. Ind we almost despair of giving any
like an intelligent description of the ar
ticle. Santee it to say that the four legs, with
the feet-and claws in perfection, are those of a
huce grizzly bear, While the arms are the arms
and paws of another grizzly; the back and
sides ure also ornamented with immense
claws. The seat is soft and exceedingly com
fortable, but the great "feature"of the in
stitution', is, that by touching a cord, the
head Of a monster grizzly bear, with extended
jaws, will dart in front front under the seat,
snapping and gnashing its teeth as natural as
life. It is wonderful in design, wonderful iu
execution, and a worthy souvenir from the

Improvements at tile Capitol.
The Washington correspondent of the Port
land DaiN Press thus describes recent improve
ments in the Capitol, at Washington :
" On the 18th September, 1713, General Wash
ingtoll luitl the corner-stone of the Capitol.
Tile edifice has passed t o liscingh various Mtn ,
lions since then, having been partially
then sacked and burned, so far as it was com
bustible, then rebuilt and finished, and now in
later years so enlarged and remodelled as to
change essentially its architectural character,
and almost obliterate the original design.
Only now at lengthy whenour political insti
tutions seem grollllolngthemselves more fully
than ever before upon the everlasting and im.
- movable principles of j ustice and right, and so
approximating assured stability and perma
nence, is the Capitol at last approaching com
pletion.
"The dome, Its grandest feature, is now
finished externally, and stands in itsgracefttl
majesty against the sky, a monument of mo
dern architectural skill. So symmetrieaLand
beautiful is it, that you hardly realize its
magnitude ; but when you climb its giddy
height, and clamber among the network of
iron bars and beams between its outer and
inner shells, you are not surprised to learn
eight thousand tOils of Iron and out mil
lion of dollars have been used in its erection.
The great fresco that is to ornament the upper
section of its interior surface, forming the
vaulted ceiling over the centre of the rotunda,
one hundred and elghty-sit feet above the
ileor, is non - progressing in the hands of hfr.

"The eastern porticoes of both extensions
arc now complete, except a few blocks yet to
be added to the one upon the southern or Re
presentatives' end of the building. The tym
panum of this portico, moreover, has not yet
received any . statuary like thosogroups which
form sopleasing a feature of its fellows, Beth
are supported by double rows of Corinthian
columns, and present, now that they are
completed, a front of rare magnificence.
Four more porticoes smaller than these,
and to be supported by single columns,
yet remain to be built, viz : one on the
northern and another on the southern end. or
face of the Capitol, and one on the western
front of each extension. The amount of mar
ble already used in these Works is truly
astonishing, and still the Capitol is musi
cal with the clink of hammer and chisel,
while huge blocks on every hand are slowly
assuming the forms of pedestal and base,
shaft and Capital, frieze and. cornice, The
time necessary to complete the exterior of tho
Capitol will, of course, depend upon the force
employed. At past rates of progress two, or
even three years will be hardly more than
sufficient.

u A very extensive Cnifirgement of the Con
gressional Library is now in preee9S. A
number of small rooms adjacent to the Libra
ry, fornierly used for the meetings of the com
mittees and for other purposes, are being de
molished, so as to form two spacious hang; one
on the north and the other on the south of
the library room, and connected with it so
to form two L's. The apartment at present
Occupied by the library is ninety-feet in
length by thirty-three in width, and the new
rooms are of the same width, and nearly as
long. Since, however, they will contain three
galleries, whereas the old part has but two,
they will each be about equal to it in ca
pacity. The new recims are to be finished in
all respects like the other, that is to say, In
rich and tasteful style, anti perfectly fire-prOof.
The iron shelves and other casting, necessary
to lit these spacious halls for their intended
purpose, are to be furnished by the architec
tural iron-works of New Fork. The north
room is to be finished according to contract
by the first of January, and the south by the
first of July, litll. The cost of the enlargement
is estimated to be it 160,000. When completed
the library will occupy the entire central part
of the western front of ;the Old Capitol, will
contain 150,000 volumes, and will be worthy of
our capital and nation. The enlargement is
going forward upon plans made by Mr. T. U.
Welters, late Capitol architect."
