July 16th, 1882.—You will see by this letter that I am at present in Washington —the Federal -Capitol. I arrived here on Wednesday evening last, and will probably remain until the latter part of next week. i have been very much impressed with what I have seen of Washington life, and the glimpses of national af fairs that I have caught on the wind, have afforded me the subject matter "f promiscuous speculation. In the first pi ice, I find Washington quite a change—in every respect—to New York. The difference in latitude is, indeed, not so great, but the wide divergence in manners, habits, cus- tom-*, etc , is marked and peculiar.— The men dress differently, and act differently ; the ladies look sweeter, talk prettier, and dress more tastety in Washington than in New York. Here everything is broad, open, cool; there everything is narrow, close, liot. Here they find time to prom enade, to gensip, to discuss issues; ihero it is business, business, business, until there is no end to the racket and clatter, the rush and the joar. file clank and the clang of business. business! The wide dissimilarity Between the two places might he traced ad infinitum, but I hasten on to other subjects. Of course, there is much to be seen in Washington. The Capitol, the sevf ral Departments, the Smith- tjnian Institute, the Corcoran Art GalDry, the Army Medical Museum, nnd the Bdtimoro and Potomac dep t. (where tho assassin of the President fired the fa;ai Hi >t) —all afford objects of interest, that sh uUl not be overlooked by the visitor to the national Capitol. I have seen these several points, short sketches of which may not be med apropos at this juncture. And first, THE CAPITOL, Like the capitol of ancient It >mc, this interesting building, stands upon a hill, commanding a view westward which the great traveler, Humboldt, prori'uneed one oft e mos* beautiful bis eyes < ver re ted upon.

It is as if the great Father had called those noble spirits Home, to shield them from witnessing the destruction of the Constitution, the invasion by tyrants of the nation’s home, and tlie final flight of Liberty—fl ;eing the wrecks of a once grand, proud and triumph ant Republic!

A sliort ramble in the Patent Office yesterday revealed to me many inter esting curiosities. This building, you will remember, was almost totals ly destrojed by a disastrous fire that occurred in 1877. It has since been restored, and is again invested with all of its pristine attractiveness.— Among the most curious articles, de posited in this museum are the relics and mementoes of Gen. Washington, the father of his country and the famous “toter’’ of the little hatchet.— These articles are of historic interest. As I have extended my letter to some length, I will close by simply giving a list of what I saw. Among the articles belonging to Gen. Washing ton were the following curious relics: Treasure chest, table, pants and vest, part of t-he smaller or sleeping lent — venerable as the canopy that shield' d the illustrious General in the d’.rk days of hip country’s trial, tent-pins, l>l°Vikets, bed-cuituin worked by Martha Washington, tent poles, and irons, camp-chest containing 2 knives, 5 forks, salt box and numerous bot tles, bellows, Cost, pant- and vests worn by Gen. W. when he resigned his commission at Anapolis in 1783, china, wash-stand, chandelier, tea- board, vase, punch bowl, mirror, compass, traveling secretary, hall lantern lroin Mt. Vernon, etc., etc., all once in the possession of him who has been pronounced by Gov. Henry Lee: ‘'First in tear-—first in peace—first in the hearts of his countrymen.”— There were other interesting souvenirs, some of which were : a coat worn by Gen. Jackson at the batde of New Or leans, also a brace of pistols which be longed to Gen. J.; a coat worn by Gen. Pnez, associate of binion Bolivar, i6'd- Watcrmelons—no end to them. Mr. Dink Word was in town a few days ago. It is said that Mr. John Nelson makes a good constable as well as a successful fox hunter. The prospects of the Western c ,rn crop is not discussed even by the loafers since the induction of watermelons. Business is so dull that merchants and clerks have the counters to them selves for lounges, and they have little more to do than use them. It is rumored that Mr. Abram Clfcnce wilt move his family this week, from Green’s Cut to Poythressville, their summer residence, near McBean. There is a talk of building a cotton seed oil factory, or some other kind of a fae'ory at Palmers mill, to begotten up by subscrip ion. What next. I wish Walter KuLlit hadn’t built that fine house at the Groves plaoe. It is the envy of all ? lie married ladies in the settlement. My wife keeps saying,4 “if —if I was a man !” Well, yes, but I’m glad she isn’t. All the pupils of Miss M. Lafronia Evans, especially the young misses, are growing tired of their long vacation, and especially of her protracted absence from the neighborhood. Miss E. has many friends among her patrons, and other people too. Messrs J. P. Jones and J. I) Rober s are reported lo be still going ahead in the corn growing business on the Sa- vann-'h river swamp, and feasting and fattening on catfish slews every lay.

It would be quite interesting to hear more about this last mentioned curiosity, deserving as it does more than passing mention ; but the length of my jotter warns me to avoid the inclination --almost temp atiou—andhasiou to a close, reserving a description of it until a future time. In my next, I will give you some facts concerning the celebrated Wash ington monument, whiok has been belore ibe public for so long a time. J. 8. U. the magnificence of “the rolling deep,” the beautiful town of Port Royal and the delightful sea breezes. Miss Sallie Knight, and old and re spected lady, died a day or two ago, at her sister’s residence, Mrs, Mary Per kins, near this place. The two sisters had lived more than 1111*00 score and ten years togeihei. The lor.oly sister has the irue sympathy of a'l her neighbors. The intermarriage of the Chinaman, Loo Chong and Miss Fulcher, near this place a couple of weeks ago, caused a big sensation and much gossip among the neighbors. Well, what of it? 'iHis is the progressive nineteenth century, and if the contracting parties aro satis fied, we don’t propose to lose much sleep about it. Notwen. 3 <1. C/3 • I.
