Mr.. Editor.

Mr.. Editor
Major G. TocHMAN some time since published
his lecture on Poland, and the policy of Russia
toward the United States, in order to circulate it
amongst the members of Congress, and, through
them, the citizens of those distant places which
he does not expect to visit. He then wrote to
friend in Congress, requesting him to explain
his views to the members, and to open subscrip-
ton for his publication. Receiving no answer,
he came to the city on Saturday last, and having
found that his friend had done nothing in relation
to his request and that tile pressing business of
the closing session would not permit him to re-
pair the injury caused by this negect, he dstrib-
uted copies Of his lecture amongst the members,
gratuitously.
friend happening to remark that he was in
curing heavy charge, Major IT, answered:
" Did not distribute these pamphlets amongst
the members, would betray the cause of my
mission ; because the members, and hundreds of
their friends, would never read them, and would
never know the real character and condition of
the affairs of my native land. Let not the cause
of Poland suffer- because have come to WASH
ington too late to require the members to pay for
the print"
Major Tochman is now our fellow citizen, he
having obtained his naturalization on the 9th of
May last. He has not, however, given up the
patriotic mission of his native land, Poland.

THE CORNER STONE.

The ceremonies attending the laying of the
corner stone of the new Lutheran church (Dr.
Muer's) on yesterday evening attracted quite a
large number of our citizens Of both sexes, and
were deeply interesting. A procession was formed
at the City Hall about o'clock, consisting of the
order Of Ancient and Honorable York Masons, the
Sons of Temperance, the reverend clergy, mem
bers of Congress- (among whom we noticed the
venerable Mr.. ADAMs,) large number Of citizens,
and the members of the church and Sunday school
children, accompanied with music, by the marine
band, the whole under the direction of DR.. w. B..
MAGRUDER, acting as chief marshal. After
marching through the streets laid down IN the
published programme, they reached the corner OF
H and 18th streets, the selected site, when, after
an opening national air by the band, the religious
services appropriate to such an occasion were de-
livered with fitting solemnity. An appropriate
chapter Of scripture having been read, the Rev.
Mr. fusion chaplain of The Senate) addressed
the Throne of Grace in feeling and earnest
prayer, invoking the Divine blessing upon the
projected enterprise, and upon all suitable efforts
to extend the dominion of the Christian church
The singing of an ode by the choir Composed
of number of excellent volunteer vocaists) sue
ceeded. and the Rev. DR.. MoRRIs, of Baltimore,
followed in an able and eloquent address, explana-
tory of the peculiar principles and tenets Of the
English Lutheran church, for whose worship the
building is intended. After Dr. NORRIS had co,-
cuded, closing prayer succeeded, and the cere-
monies were concluded with the invocation of
Gods benediction upon the enterprise and the
participants in it.
The Sons of Temperance proceeded from the
ground to the steamboat wharf, and from thence
to Alexandria, by invitation of the division of that
praiseworthy order in that town, where they
remained until late hour, and returned by
steamboat, agreeably pleased with the hospitality
and courtesy of their brethren in that time hon
ored town.
