Washington City, the captal of the nation, the home, during term time of the President, (aud also the temporary residence of five bhundred and ten men who contidently expect to) be President,) and the scat of the United States Gas Works. (technically called Congres,) is sit. uated in the District uf Columbia—a territory [ rereng, an horrizoatal suriace of teu miles fquare, and extending perpendicularly all the way through. As every place in the city is from three quariers of a mile tea mile and . three-quarters from everywhere else, Wasbing. ton is called, in Fourth-or-July orations and that style of literature generally, “the city of magnificent distances.’’ It derives its name of .

Nationsi Treasnry, an institution of learaing . } which bas graduatd more men in the art of . swindling the government than any ten similar or dissimilar inst:tatious iu the world; and the City Jail. which is the ouly public building in Washington which is really devoted to honest purposes, and that ix devoted to no purpose at all, both the permanent and temporary residents of the . being too deeply eugaged in their own rascalities to thiuk of puaishing other people for theirs, There are two monuments at Warhington— one of red granite, erected to the memory of Smithson at his own expense, and a monument to the folly, penuriousuess, and gratitude of the American people. The latter is about sixty feet bigh, with upward (though hopeless) ex pectations of five or six hundred feev. It is commonly called the Wasbington or National Monument. Gen. Taylor caught his death in 1850 at the laying of the corver-stone of thir It is et probable that any of his successors will perish in the laying of the capstone. Itis much more probable that Presidents will be done away with at least six weeks before that event. The imports of Washington consists prineipally of office seekers and pick-pockets, (both of which are frequently combined in one,) and . fast women, who indirectly make half the laws that are put through Congres, Ite exports are disappointed politicians and whiskey. The latter is generally bottled in members of Congress for transportation, Taking it altogether, Washington is an excevdingly hard place. The public men there are all very honest and upright, however— that is, ontil they go bome and turn against the administration, when. of course, they become, like Stephen A. Douglas and Joha W. Forney, the most consummate scoundrels unhung, We have the authority of a number of aduinistration papers for saying so. During the sitting of Congres, though, innumerable murders and robberies are committed in the city; but as everybody there is above euspicion, and would not hurt a buir of your bead, nor take the smallest coin from the the treasury under the most favorable circum=tances, the perpetratore invariably escape detection, Under these benign anspices, it is no wonder th, t it cannot or has not, been paid of Washington, as was re cently said of a one-horse town in Kentucky, that if at,the laet day, Gabrael shouldhappen to light there first, the resurrection would be indeffinitely postponed, for some of the inhabi. tante would swindle bim out of bis born before . he could make a single toot. . ! . “Our Great Rervniic’’ Aproap.—The editor iof the Utica Heraid writes from Heidelberg, .

Upon the restoration of comparative quiet, loud calls were made for Mr. Barrett, who, with a number of other speakers, addressed the crowd in appropriate remarks, Meanwhile the Democratic gun was belebing forth peal after peal of genuine thunder, aud a splendid band discoursing merry notes from Curran’s balcony.

The miraculous presumption 18, that, ina fit of rage aod great hunger, occasioned by the dearth of grass, the savage bovine turned cannibal and devoured some unfortunate miner, body and breeches. However much the statement may sound like fiietion, the reader may rely upon its truth. A correspondent of the Martinez Gagette, writing from Benicia, eays: “The troopa at the Barracks have been practicing for the past few days with the Miunie musket, The targets were placed at various distances, ranging from three hundred to three hundred and fifty yards. The shooting was remarkably good. This mueket practice is merely preparatory to their leaving for the southern boundary.”’ About three o’clock, on Sunday morning, the 6th inst., a slight shock of an earthquake was felt at San Francisco The vibration was only panenp tibia by the jarring of tumblers on marnle stands, but was experienced by several persons, at the same hour, fn different parts of the city. Dr. E. A. Theller died suddenly at Hornitas, Mariposa county, about the first of last week. Dr. Theller has been connected with the press, both in California and the East, for many years, and wasan able writer. He was about fifty years of age, and leaves a family at Sao Francisco.

Feb. 24, in consequence of the accidental firing of her clothes, by which she was so badly burnt that she survived the accident but a few hours. The San Francisco Chief of Police says in bis report, that the property stolen, and money lost, in that city, during the year 1858, amounted to $94,799 65; of which $76,067 36 has been recovered, It appears, therefore, that it is easier to steal than to hide. A miner named Quincy was found on Triuity mountain, between the Mountain House and Lowden’s ranch, Jan. lst, frozen to death. A bottle, partly filled with liquor was found b his side. Deceased was & native of Ireland, The experiments made by the Gas Company of Columbia, Tuolumne county, in making gas from wood have proven the superiority of eoal and ineuperiority of all other agents, Coal gas is to be introduced to light the town. It is stated in the Eastern papers that John Nogent will decline the office of Superintendent of Indian Affairs in California, if it ia offered to him, on the ground that its emoluments aré not now sufficient. It is stated that the colored boy, William Mathews, over whom such a fuss was made af San Francisco, afew weeks ago, has accom: panied hie master, Dr. McCormick, home on the last steamer. An immense quantity ot grain has been sown this year at the Nome Lackee Reservation. It is thought that 40,000 bushels of grain will be. ta ou this farm should the season be favorable. A man by the name of A. J, Butler was recently found dead at his residence, in Rogue river valley, with every appearance of bayin committeed suicide by shocting himself through the head. Dennis Woods, formerly from New Orleans, was accidentally killed, while at work in a mining claim, near Cottage Grove, Klamath river, on the 19th ult.

Washington City, the captal of the nation, the home, during term time of the President, (aud also the temporary residence of five bhundred and ten men who contidently expect to) be President,) and the scat of the United States Gas Works. (technically called Congres,) is sit. uated in the District uf Columbia—a territory [ rereng, an horrizoatal suriace of teu miles fquare, and extending perpendicularly all the way through. As every place in the city is from three quariers of a mile tea mile and . three-quarters from everywhere else, Wasbing. ton is called, in Fourth-or-July orations and that style of literature generally, “the city of magnificent distances.’’ It derives its name of .

The latter is about sixty feet bigh, with upward (though hopeless) ex pectations of five or six hundred feev. It is commonly called the Wasbington or National Monument. Gen. Taylor caught his death in 1850 at the laying of the corver-stone of thir It is et probable that any of his successors will perish in the laying of the capstone. Itis much more probable that Presidents will be done away with at least six weeks before that event. The imports of Washington consists prineipally of office seekers and pick-pockets, (both of which are frequently combined in one,) and . fast women, who indirectly make half the laws that are put through Congres, Ite exports are disappointed politicians and whiskey. The latter is generally bottled in members of Congress for transportation, Taking it altogether, Washington is an excevdingly hard place. The public men there are all very honest and upright, however— that is, ontil they go bome and turn against the administration, when. of course, they become, like Stephen A. Douglas and Joha W. Forney, the most consummate scoundrels unhung, We have the authority of a number of aduinistration papers for saying so. During the sitting of Congres, though, innumerable murders and robberies are committed in the city; but as everybody there is above euspicion, and would not hurt a buir of your bead, nor take the smallest coin from the the treasury under the most favorable circum=tances, the perpetratore invariably escape detection, Under these benign anspices, it is no wonder th, t it cannot or has not, been paid of Washington, as was re cently said of a one-horse town in Kentucky, that if at,the laet day, Gabrael shouldhappen to light there first, the resurrection would be indeffinitely postponed, for some of the inhabi. tante would swindle bim out of bis born before . he could make a single toot. . ! . “Our Great Rervniic’’ Aproap.—The editor iof the Utica Heraid writes from Heidelberg, .
