The Capitol is probably the most
splendid building Of the kind in the
world. Its built Of granite and paint
ed white. In the centre 10 4 vast cir
culsr Hall, 100 feet in diameter, call.
ed the Rotunda. In the northern end,
besides many smaller rooms, &c. is
The Senate Chamber, and under, the
Hall 10 which the United States Court
holds its sessions. In front Of the Ro-
tunda and over the Vestibule Of the
western front, is the Library OF Con-
greSs, with its 40, 900 volumes inciud.
ing works Of literature; while the
northern end is the House Of Repre-.
seutstives' Hall.
The chambers Of the Senate and
House Of Representatives are very
beautifully fitted up, each member
has his own desk, and the walls arc
tastefully adorned. The columns Of
the latter, made Of a peculiar Kind Of
marble obtained near Potomac, above
this city, | believe, are very beautiful.
They appear as il they were composed
Of an infinite number of small stones,
VI a great variety Of color, and all sus.
ceptible AZ the finest polish.
The Rotunda, which is surrounded
by a splendid dome, is ornamented
with four grand paintings, made by
Col. TrumbulI. They represent the
Declaration Of Independence, the sur
render Of Burgoyne, the surrender Of
CORVALLIS, aud General Washington
resIgninR the commission to Congress
AT Annapolis. There are several b1s-
So.reIief scenes above the four entrAn-
eeS Of this Refunds, representing events
IN the early history Of our country
Spaces Temsin for four more large
paintings, which will some day or other
be occupied.
On the west front Of the Capitol, add
Few feet from the foot Of the flight Of
steps which lead up TO the yestibale. is

were killed in the Tripolilan war. -
