Washington spread out in wide Streets and dotted
rreguary with squads of brick houses here, and
wooden buildings yonder, with the Capitol at one end
of long avenue, Cor OF macaddmized road) and
the Presidents house, near the opposite terminus,
presents year out, and year in, few physical chan
ges as can be found in any other city. Year round
the hacks all look the same The drivers all act the
same. The store-keepers and citizens generally all
appear the same. But, however, monoronous this
political emporium may constantly appear in It's geo.
graphical position, and outward bearing, neyerhe-
less, mighty revolutions, moral political, financial,
&c., are continually either maturing, or progressing
within lis precincts To the latltudes ana vngitudes
of the political world, Washington Is the Greenwich,
MERIDIAN, by which all wise politicians, adj ust their
chronometers. The popular breeze which mas been
for sometime blowing over the land with an lncreas
ing force, till il became perfect hurricane In New
York, has driven a great many wing vessels hgh
ed and many lives lost. Ii ssaid the ship kentucky,
Capt Clay which sailed just before the storm COM
menced, with all sails holsted, has not since been
heard FROM and fears entertained for her safety.
Many Captains of vessels whose crafts suffered da-
mage in the late storm, have come on to hs city TO
have their time keepers adjusted, several want Jew
compases, and others, entire new outfits OF sails
Captain Curtis, OF the Custom-h house, Is here, on
important business, and has waited on Mr. Webster
and Mr. Forward, and paid his respects to the Pesl-
dent.
Political Captains of all Sorts heretofore steering
in the opposition course are all taken aDack by
the late storm, and beginning TO trim their lamps
anew. To SHIFT sails, box the compass, and intend
hereafter to navigate IN smoother water.
AS To the President-God bless the honest Ro-
man--lt has done me good TO shake HIM by The
hand to-day. | never saw HIM look better, or In
better spirits. He now stands on proud eminence;
His 'headersoti-or die" people are now headed oil
and are dead-dead-dead.
The deck Is now clear. The President has Lear-
ly ready very able message, In winch are embrac
ed all the leading and absorbing interests OF the peo-
pie of this great republic. He will recommend
sound and Jadicious financial policy He Will re-
commend the :" ware housing systern'-a measure
fraugn with SO much uullty 10 the commercial pur-
OF the country, and which has the cordialsupport
and APPRECIATION of all the leading and intelligent
mercantile men OF the country. The various annu..
al reports trvn The heads OF The Departments, VIII
be luli, comprehensive, able and complete. Look
out Tor papers OF great abiEty from Mr. Spencer and
Mr.. Upshur. Inc Cabinet Is DIS able DIS any selection
can we'll be- Changes are SPOKEN OF, but Will not
happen immediately. Mr.. Gushing may or may not
suppant Mr. Forward MIR. Webster will hold on
I'LL The 4th oil March next, when he will leave, and
may possibly be followed by John c. Spencer, the
master pohllcian and spirit OF the age. They will
go 10 other posts If they go at all, leaving the ties
that bind them To the President unoroken.

Colonel Dick Johnson held forth here on the
evening of the 18th inst. at the Apollo, to which
place he was escorted by band of music. He held
forth to respectable auditory. and fought all his

Washington, the past summer, has been more or
less unhealhy fever and ague has fallen upon good
many citizens. II is hard to live in this place,
rounded as it is, with so poor soil, and then be
subject to disease-a disease, too, OF the most de-
pressing, harrassing, and rascally order, which
makes man feel unfit to live and still too lazy and
unwilling to die. Bark and cold weather, how
ever, are bringing the color back to many pallid
faces
do not see the strange disappearance OF Mr..
Pinckney from Annapolis, in Md, noticed IN the
papers. Mr.. p. was the nephew of the celebrated
VIM. Pinckney, the diplomatist, orator, &c, and
at the time he left was President of the Farmers
Bank OF Maryland. His beautiful and distinguished
lady was Miss DEAL, OF Annapolis. She is said TO
be an exceedingly amable woman, but has for some
time been suffering the most intense agony OF mind,
on account of his mysterious absence. He left
home the 7th inst, 10 visit Washington, intend
ing TO return Immediately But, the last tldings had
OF him, he said to be on the steamboat at Alex
andria
His pecunlary matters are represented TO be IN
very satisfactory state. He has been uniformly
temperate, steady and afiectionate in his family
And his being so suddenly missing has caused the
greatest anxiety In the minds Of numerous and
highly respectable circle of friends.
II is said more colored servants, owned In the
District, have absconded the past summer than has
ever been known in the same period before-to
make their condition much worse somewhere else,
for The winter and probably some OF them for life
for slavery the District is only nominal the ne.
groes are well treated well fed and clothed and
have oLly moderate and light labor TO perform II is
supposed some emmissares of the Abolitonst have
been tampering with them and have succeeded in
decoying of, or persuadng of, numbers to desert
their masters aud homes-to buffet the Geld neglect,
and colder SHOWS and fross, OF Canada.
