extensive accommodations, are not surpassed by any ia
vern in the United States. Professions of attempts to
please are so common, that it is useless TO make them.

notice, (oniy two days previous TO the meeting Of the Le-
gislature,) that he may not have an opportunity of manifest
ing AZ early as he would wish, his desire to please. A
generous public will excuse, in the beginning, the at
tempt of one not much accustomed to the detail of such a
concern. The Proprietor gives solemn assurance that no
pains or expense shall be spared to elicit appreciation and
bring custom. The liquors shall be the best the country
affords, and a table TO conforin.-Boarders are requested,
and every effort made. for their suitable entertainment.
The undersigned would be particularly indebted to his
friends in Richmond for such custom.-A separate table
will be prepared for members of the Legislature.

We publish with much pleasure the subioined order OF
the able and efficient Head of the War Department polite
ly furnished for that purpose by a Correspondent at For
tTe;S Monroe, and chccriully reiterate the encomiums
passed upon that distinguished officer by our Correspon-
dent, for having taken into serious consideration the most
important branch of our national defence, in which, it is
affirmed, that millions have been thrown away or waste
fully expended, at the caprice of an individual, on the
speculations of theorists and the inventions of projectors
by which act alone lie has deserved the applause of the
nation.
"Hithcrto (says our Correspondent we have had no
established pattern for any article supplied by this De-
partment. Our guns and small arms have yearly changed
their form, dimensions and finish, according to the within
of an artist; and our gun carriages are as Various i'm con-
struction and fashion as the arsenals at which they are
made. We hope that this Board will not only establish a
rigid uniformity of pattern, never to be deviated from, but
that it will adopt a model for our guns, which will render
them more dangerous to the enemy than TO ourselves. So
many have been killed and wounded at this place, by the
bursting of guns and other defects in them, that the sol
diers really think they incur more danger in serving their
own guns than they could from the fire of an enemy"

infer that the evil is on the increase. The same subject
