Governor Banks, of MasaaohnsaUa, recommends, in his last Message, that the dome of the Boston State House be sllde'd. That dome is the most oonspiouona object as you approaohtho oUy; and it is seen from ail the neighboring heights, as the dome of 8i Peter's is seen from tbe villsasbout Borne. Boston also site upon Its tnree hills, dark and massive like a feudal Baron; and the gilded dome would bo only like a glittering crown, remindicg the feudatory Tillages around of the grandeur of their lord. That lord ought to be proud rf bfowutyects, for nooity in the world h*d ever a more Lhltfry, prosperous. Intelligent neighborhood of Tillages which overlap and run into ea'-h other, oontented with t leraselTes and proud of th< whole. Now ii, some winter morning, when you wish to get a little nearor to the secret of that thrift end eharaoter> yon take one of tho train* that aie inoesaanM; depart* log westward from Boston, after crossing the Back Bay, and gliding through the gardens of Brookline and Brighton, skirtirg iho 'alley of the Charles River, you wU flodyoUTßeif in the pretty vilageof West Newton. It la white and wood n, and ocatand ohoerful, eape cudtv as you to* it the next moment from the comfort able robes, wrapped in whif h you are slipping a'ong the read behind e solid pair of horses, making music as they go. AEsvmoments bring you to the road which Winds above a broad basin oi the Charles, upon whtoh they are -utting ice. But yonder are spires among the trees; and nearer, upon the very edge o! the river ba sic, la alow, two-story building, full of windows. The spires are the spires of Waltham, and the many-win* dowed building lathe factory of the American Watch Company. Of all the manufacture*, that of watches must be the moat exquisite aid delioate. But why should Europe make oar iratoben? esks oimmon eense and the genius of American enterprise. Why should It? ask the Ametlcan Watch Company; and in this factory that Ooropany U demonstrating why we should make them •for oureelvos. and it is a very pretty and aauafaetory answer to a Tory plain question There are some two hundred and forty or fifty hands employed, of which about a third are women, and only about a dozen In all are foreigners, mainly Englishmen: and tbo work is almost exclusively dune by machinery* but machinery so delicate and beauufUl that, when your mind has beoome a IUUe excited by observing the innu" merablo and to you inexplicable processes of the differ ent shops, you feel as il you had seen the human brain in lull play, thinking out watches. The fineness of the work h bewildering. Here are •crews of whiob a hundred aid fif y thooand make a pound. They are kept in little gla»a phtala, tike those of the Homoeopathic medicine cases.

The precision of the work by machinery methodizes the whole business. The Company may have turned oat about forty or fifty thousand watches, and these are all divided into different clna-ea,sates etc. Kor instance, there may be n thousand or fire thousand “ founda tions ” eat end shaped to-day.* They are ail exactly of the iamn size; eaon line in cn- corresponds with .be > ameln all the Other?.

Herald-. Hi van d£ Gka.cs, ild., May a, 19fil 1 have had a talk to-day with a gentleman just from Washington, who !• deep in the con Ildence of the government, and who haa Just come from Vicksburg. He came through A 1 abama, Georgia, Worth Carolina and Virginia, and travelled leisurely. H-. says that be him self saw, on the line o! the railroads over which he travoUed,and the large cities through which he passed, including Natchez, Vicks, burg, Montgomery, sey.aral towns in Georgia and North Carolina, Lynchburg, Richmond, Fredericksburg and Dumfries, no less than sixty thousand troops, well armed, well disci plined, and nnder competent officers. The great majority were on tne way to Northern Virginia. It is almost certain that a good portion of this force is now concentrated be tween Frodriefcsburg, Dumfries, Alexandria and Hafpar’s Ferry, under the orders of Gen eral Cooke. PLANS 07 THE REBELS It is probable that the recent evaouatlon of Alexandria by the Virginia troops, and their march towards Harpei’s Ferry, was only a rose, to blind and deceive our officers. It can not be possible that the South, with such forces at their command, would abandon Alexandria, which is to them so important a position. It is, in faot, the key to Washington. Let the South hold Alexandria, and fortify Arlington Heights on ihe north, and they could cannon, ade and demolish nearly the whole of Wash ington city. At the same time the Southern army, under cover of this fire, oould rush to the attack. But on the other hand, tet Alex andria and Arlington Heights be occupied by the Uniled States troops, and a successful at tack on Washington would be Impossible. It is probable that the Virginia troops did go • from there to Harper’s Ferry, but that three times os many Southern troops are either now in Alexandria or are ready to occupy the placo, .and that they will hold it until they Bro dis lodged by the United States troops, after a hard [struggle. * TOBTIFICATTON6 AT FBXDEBrCKSBfntG. ffhe same gentleman referred to above in formed me that when he passed through Fred ericksburg the troops there, assisted by several hundred negroes, were throwing up earUiwork e u trench merits of considerable extent and vat strength. They had plenty of cannon 0 f i trge calibre to mount on them and abun. dance ammunition. The heights north ol the to. Mi, where these fortifications aro being erected, command all the approaches to the town boi'l l by river and railroad, and proteol the town itself besides. The negroes were working with a will ahd were in good spirits. The reports *f a scarcity of provisions there , wot* entirely t unfounded. Provisions of all kinds were abundant and good.

The countenance* of the so.diers at camp and in the city gave in dication that his coming had given them a guarantee that for the present, at least, they are to be free from any future nightly hegira. The old straw has been romoved from the quarters and replaced by new. Hills of it could bo seen on tho grounds this morning, and as an evidence of the discipline of the men, no part of it was removed until new had been received, and then each by turns took his arms fall, &Dd carried it to his races. This is commendable, and deserving mention, because the wild scramble for this comfort heretofore, necessarily gave to some more and to oth ors lens than they were entitled to, and tho re sult was complaints. The weather which has been so trying on us has visited this place a month later than for years, and it is generally believed it has ended, which we hope will prove true as it will afford the officers opportunity to carry out the erd« r of Col. Campbell, embracing nine instructions, looking to the rapid and effective instruction of the men in tho drill. Kvery one, officers and soldier*, from five o’clock in the morning until five in the afternoon, have to be engaged with but few hours intermission In carrying out that order. Co!. Campbell has also promptly Issued his requisition on the proper departments for camp equipage, clothing, ac* coutrements and everything which can secure to his regiment their comfurt, convrnienco and health, and put them on h salo war fooling for active service. Wherever a reliable officer is placed at the head of a regiment, you have a guarantee for its welfare. The gloom which bad settled on so many on yesterday was partially dispelled. The Colonel, together with a few Invited guests, partook ol a dinner gotten up bv the Duquesne Greys, and when 1 say that the pea soup, roast beef, rice, potatoes, and for dessert, figs, almonds, and pies were discussed with keen appetites, 1 only say what is well known, that whatever has been under their control, has ever been signalled by success. (Japt. Kennedy and Lieut. Bennett did the honors. The mere mention of their names convoy* ail that it necessary as to how it was dono. They have lost none of their suavity. In the corps is an unassuming young artist from Adle* gheny City, Mr. Donahoe, who ha* been busily engaged during his leuuro hours in taking sketches ,of tho grounds, quarters, and whatever strikes his fancy there, and also oi different members ol the company. The artist of Frank Leslie'* paper pronounced them excellent in my hearing Much might be written oi the whole regirnont, which is passing up Main ,‘lreel to tho Camp, having been engaged in that which i« to b*» their usual afternooD drill. The regularity «.f their step along the whole lino evidences attention to Instruction. The United ritatas Zjuave Cadets, in a spirit of emulation, by their marching, bavo certainly cut aside the spirit of indifference which had taken bcid of some of them. Tboy have been chosen as the skirmisher* for the regiment*, and ibis morning entered on the acquiring of the knowledge requisite, with alacrity A few evenings ago they had to place themselves under renewed obligation to the people i>i Yurt A sumptuous banquet outer; up ly the "York Burgess C-orp ' in a few hours, at the Vigilant Login* bouse, of which engine they are members, and which wa« presided over by Philip Smyser, K-q., an old raemb- r of the company, who had kindly consented to be present, might be a subject for a letter in describing it, but suffice it to say that the ladies werelhtrj. A. t*ectiv*e speeches were made by Mr Staley, Qen. Negiey and Capt. Farmer and Liet. Ormsby, all left satisfied. Dr Tic** die reports tut tour mon from the twelfth regiment in the hospital; but how many may be incapacitated for active service will soon be determined, as they will be subjected to medi cal examination. Those who are discharged, if any, will be bonoably discharged without cause for reflection on their rotorn. Among those who have been detailed for special sertice are Theodore Bagaley of the “City Guards," Joseph li Davis of Duquesne Greys and Jss. L. Sutherland of I' S /. Cadets. Tho !a - .e% arrival from your city Is Jas. H. Hopkins, Etq , who has been busily engaged during the day m ob.aining information which may be enquired of by the friends many here. H. A SfUOKSTION >ROM THE L»Al»lKa—UoW TO Savk Mosiy to tub Governmkxt—Somo of ihe patriotic Udies who havo be*n for weeka engaged in making op articles for tht* soldiers, at Lafayette Hall, have made u% a suggestion, which, if carried oat, would save the government (a point of much importance taken into consideration the oxpenses wo ar« now under) about one half of what is now expended for soldiers’ under garments, <fec They say that the manner in which they have heretofore been working is almost labor thrown away. For material to mako the arti cles they have been furnishing thoy havo been oompellod to resort to a avstem of begging from merchants and others, the result of which is that they must take anything offered, aod thus they get inferior goods, which, after the labor bestowed in making them into K* r menls, are of little servico, and can only do toori temporarily. The merchants begin to get tired of this constant drain, and it Is now oecoming difficult to procure the nocessary contributions, so that their benevolent labors must soon cease if they are not provided with funds The ladies propose that if the govern ment will supply them with the proper mate, rials or the funds necessary to purchase them, they are willing to undertake the task of ma king them up into shirts drawers, Ac., free of expense, for all troops from this section of the Bute. Thoy believe that by this arrangement the government would be supplied with far better clothing than that made up by contract, and at about one half the cost. We oonsider the plan a practicable one, as a proper agent might bo appointed to furnish the necessary materials and take charge of the garments when finished. If the ladies of other places would volunteer in like manner, the soldiers could all be supplied with good olothlng at a small cost. Ukited States Circuit Court.— Before Judges Grier and McCahdless.— At the meeting of Court some twenty or thirty bond cases against the city and oounty wore called over and were continued until next term at the request of counsel, some of the attorneys being absent in their oountry’s service and elsewhere. Judge Grier delivered an opinion in the case of B. D Sanders against B. T. Kennedy & Bro., of the Pearl Mill, Allegheny, lor er> infringement of Patent granted in 1849 to the plain iff, for an improvement in machine for separating chaff, Bmul and other impurities from grain. This case was argued at the last term of the Court (November, 1860) by J. A. Ijowrief or plaintiff, and W. Bakewell and Geo. S; raa for defendants.

At tho corner of Fifth atrect, some among tbo spectators began booling, hissing aud otherwise abusing the companiu* a« they passed, and a hoy, about 14 years old diflcharged a pistol In the ranks. Part of roar company immediately turned and flrd upon the crowd, and tho whoie column was In in c.'nfu#'on, breaking the ranks anrl piacharging muskei-* down their own lino and aMK>rjf' li.ti pf.*>p!e oa tho sidewalks. The shower of balls lor afow minu’.oa wsp terrible, the buileia Hying in every direction, entering the doors and windows of private rea, ivlencos, breaking shutters, tearing railing?, and oven smashing bricks in thn third story. Th.- utmost consternation prevailed, spectators flee, ing In ail directions, and but for the random firing of the troops scores of people mu?l have ooen killed, as most of the firing was directed down their own ranks. The troojji suffored most severely; four of their number being instantly killed and seve ral wounded. Jerry Swisztan, a river engin eer, John Garvin, and Wm. Cady, all citiaans, were killed. Ctms. U. Weod ward was wound ed in the shoulder; hu entire arm will have to bo amputated. Jeremiah Godfrey, who wa workiug in a garden of Mr. Cozxon’a, re ceived tho Minle balls in his body. Mi:hael Davy had his ankle shattered. James A Welsh was badly ebot in the foot, and Eeveral others leas severely wounded. The house of Mr. Matthews received the bullots; one of his daughters was struck with a spent ball. Only one of the soldiers, Johd Dickey, a German has been recognized. Crowds of pejplo filled the street* after the occurrence, and the most intinse indignation was expressed against the Germans. Mayor Taylor addressed the excited crowd, and indu ced them to disperse, under promise that no further violence should be done The oily is comparilively quiet during the evening and night, the heavy rain preventing the aasemba ling of largo crowes. Tbo Siato troops; released from the arsenal ovemng, came to the city on a steamer, fearing to trust themselves among the Ger mane in the lower wards, even under exper; All complain bitterly of bad treatment during their confloemen in the arsenal. Gen. Frost and his officers gave their parole under pro test, and his men were allowed to avail tbem*- selvQS of the same when taking an oath not to bear arms aganst the United Stales. Heavy rains have fallen nearly all day, not withstanding which, tho streets have been thronged with excited peoplo, a large portion of whom loudly censure those in authority, for patting loaded arms in hands of inexperi enced volunteers to shoot down inoffensive citizens for insufficient causes. All good citi zens deprecate the action of lawless parties,and justly bUmo the troops for indiscriminate fir ing into crowds of innocent people without orders, and cry ont against tbe unnecessary marching of armed soldi ©res through their cty in order to alia}’excitement and restore confidence lo the people, Gen. Harney ha« is sued a proclamation to the city and Slate of Missouri, which boa boon posted throughout the city, expressing deep regret at the state oi things existiag hero, pledging himself to do ail in hu power to preserve the peace, and calling on the people and public authorities to aid him in the discharge of his duties. He says tbe military force under command will only be used os a last extremity, and hopes ho will nut be compelled to resort to ma*tiai law, but em phatically states that ths public peace must be .preserved, and th© lives and property of the people protected. To says he has no authori ty t<> chango ibe,locaiions of the home guards quartered in the city, but to avoid all cause ot :;r.i*iioti ar.J excitement, if called upon lo ail tbo local authorities, he will use the regu lar army in preference.

The fueling against the Government is most inumoe. The regular volunteers and home ?n&rdft are roßipuand mainly of that class of citizens, and through tueir act? s-o many inm>* cent pcopD have b n*n killed. Several persons ebargod with firing on troops and shouting on tho Rtrrot., have bren arreeted, and the police are on the aleri. The news of the surrender of Camp Jack crea od great excitemontat JeflVrsun City, and Harris* military bill passed both House and St-nale in fitteen minutes. Auother commotion was created on receipt of a dispatch stating that a large force had left this city for that city. The powder recently purchased here, was sent Into the oountry.and u e State treasure was removed lo a place of security. A large number of citizens on rolled them selves into k Homo Guard, and several hun. ilrt-d troop* are uipocicd from the surrounding counties. In obedience to & special call from tho Governor A session of the Legislature was callod after midnight, and a bill passed both houses, ex tending power over tho Police Commissioners, and giving the Oovornor ample means for sup pressing riots and insurrectionary movements throughout the State. About a thousand Illinois volunteers are now stationed al OaseyviUe, seven miles east of hero. Cairo, May 11.— The very heavy rains for tho past forty-eight hours have made camp life in Cairo any thing but agreeable, but the volunteers bear it pleasantly. They have nearly all got into their new quarter* built around the edge of the lovee. In fact they are well provided for, and are well taken caro of, and are perfectly happy, but are anx ious for a fight. All continues quiet, both among citizens and Bo’dicrs. The only excitement we have Is the threat ened blockade of our port. Nothing definite is known at what time it will take place. That it will lake place soon we have no doubt. When the steamers stop running wo will have a dull town. Tbe steamers from the South bring up swarms of Northern people that have lately lived in the Confederate States. They say a man must either join their army or leave. The man Seller*, arrested as a suspected spy, ie still in oustody, although he will proba bly be olected. The volunteers are fast learning the drill, and make quite an imposing appearance on parade. They have their heart and soul in the cause, and seem determloel to learn. Of the two com pan lea rafted in Cairo, one, the PreuiLs Guards, have been accepted, and, under the command of Captain Hunter, are now on duty. One touaand five hundred more volunteers and tome heavy cannon are due .to-day. I learn from reliable authority ijut at J&em* Shis they have three large guns from Fort umter; two forty-two*pounders and one large one sixteen feat long and ten-inch bore. They were loading them on the steamer Harts lord City yesterday to bring to Randolph. A train arrived early this morning with twenty twenty-four-pounders and nlneeight inch oolumbiads for our levees. Two cavalry companies are expected this evoning. A man was shot in attempting to escape from the guard house last night. Bxltimorx, May 12.—Tho city has boon very quiet all day, and continues so, the ex ojtement having entirely subsided. Troops from York and Lancaster aro expected to are rive heie to-morrow in large numbers over the Northern Central Railroad. ’ Fort McHenry was largely reinforced to day from Annapolis, and about 1,200 men are now posted there.

May IS —An official statement published this morning, saye that the firs’ firing at Camp Jackson on Friday evening was some half dozen shots neArithe head col umn of the first renment, ''occasioned by a volley of stones and pistol shots from the crowd. No one was hurt al this point. Th> second firing oocurred from the rear of tbo column guarding tho prisoners. Thn crowd bore was large, very abusive, and one man dia charged three barrels ot a revolver at Lieut Saxon, of tho regular service, many of the mob cheering blm on, drawing revolvora and firing at the troops. The man who commenced the attack then laid a pistol across hiß arm and was taking deliberate aim at Lieut. Saxon, when he was thrust through with a bayonat, fired upon at the same time, and instantly killed. The column then moved on, having received orders to march, and the rear com pany being assaulted by the crowd, and several of them shot, halted and fired, causing the deaths already reported. The order wae then given by Capt. Lyon to cease firing, which was promptly obeyed. Tbe principal arms taken from Camp Jack son were four large seige howitzers, two ten inch mortars and a large number of 10 men shells ready charged, and Borne 5000 U. S moskets supposed to be a portion of those taken from Baton Rouge arsenal. Thous ands of people left the oity yesterday after noon, in cousequenoe of reports of insubor dination amung the German troops, and their threats to burn and sack the city, but the appearance of Harney’s proclamation m a great measure restored confidence, and many ot those who left will probably return to-day. The city is now quiet, aod the highest hopes are entertained that n turther disturbance will occur. Twenty two persons aro known to be killed at Camp Jackson.
