UNITED STATES Hotel,
WASHINGTON, June %, lS45 (
Things IN Washington om Of keller General Van
Ness's Letter once mo,e-Distressing Removal, &c.
Just returned from flying visit into the valley Of
Virginia, of which, this evening, we shall tell you.
Excepting ''D'Isola," with the trial Of Captain
Voorhees,, our assistants during our absence, have
suffered every thing here to get out Of keller
Captain Polk has gone from Coleman's to Mrs La
timers, and finds that he has NOT done much better
by the removal, and will probably remove again.
John c. Rives has fallen out with Father Richie,
because Father Richie wouldn't publish the speech
of the great Kentucky Riieman, delivered few
evenings ago IN town, rich, and rare and racy
affair." and Rves threatens 10 start another paper in
opposition to the Union The very deuce has been
raised around the of Captain Polk in reference
to the appointment OF Louis McLane TO England,
Mr.. Marcy, himself, being charged with collision
with the conspiracy TO effect revocation of the
nomination. But they wont do it: In the appoint
ment of Green, the cole ctor at Alexandria Captain
Polk was not to be moved by the locofoco natives,
who came up IN populations OF twentlcs and ffties,
protesting against this man, because he was Eng
sh born, and demanding the appointment of Mr..
Ratct, who made the speech at the depot last
March. welcoming the new President into the city.
YET Captain Polk held on to his man. because he
had been tried--and because he was known to
be faithful and capable-and here, after hard
struggle to do Green brown, Ratcff himself,
finding his chances decidedly blue, gave up,
and came up, and here we have him now, square
up" by the City Hall, in little office, with
an attorneys sign ut the window. The efforts to
GUST Louis McLane will be as futile-they can't
phaze hm-John g. Rlves can't phaze hin-Blair
can't phaze him-Marcy, can't phaze hini-no man
but Mr.. Calhoun could phaze him, and Mr.. Calhoun
we are sure, will like the nomination. Mr.. Bu-
charan, we are sorry to learn, has a very uncom
Portable grumbling or yearnlng in his bowels this
norning-too much green fruit is said to be the
cause Mr.. Gillett says that every wing in his bu-
reau, and every wing in the Land Office ought to
have their freedom papers" Gas they call them in
bility is they will get 'em. ooh Lordy, oh DON'T"
cried Hon Mr.. Stanberry, of Ohio, some years ago,
when Sam, Houston fogged him on the Avenue; and
sob Lordy oh don't will be the cry of the poor
wings, as they brought under the tllthammer Of
rotation.
Thus we find matters on our return, and in addi-
ton Gen Van Ness gives you liberty for the publi-
cation of shat letter." copy of which, he informs
u.s. he has despatched to you carte blanche. He says
that though the Herald is right about that letter.
ny other papers are. wrong, and have given out
quence, it is necessary to pubsh it bodily, to set
himself right altogether, by suffering the letter to
speak for itself
There is one of the late removals which seems to
be a hard one-that of Randolph, commonly known
as Jchn Randolph, from the Land Office. Poor fell
low! he is too fat and heavy for active business has
large family, In addition to father and mother
upon his hands and to be here without employment
without money-without credit-(for man that
has no money has no crediD here in Washington,
where money Is as omnPotent as Pluto-why, sir,
the poor fellow must sarve.
p. S-Captain Polk is rather freful to-day-hs
equanlmlty is evidently shaken. What with Gen.
Van Nesss letter, OF which sixty additional private
copies Rave been put in circulation this morning,
and OF which we expect In your publication of it,
some forty thousand additional copies will be Of
fered tomorrow; and what with the offce-seekers,
and the professors TO M'Lane and what with the
Presidents anxiety to get back to the White House,
he is out OF humor. We caution The ofice-seekers
to hold back for a day or two, or they may spoil
their pudding.
Gen M'Cala, I'd Auditor has got back to town,
safe and sound from Kenucky-Graves didn't come
near him--dld not dare to. The citizens, many OF
them, all we hope, are going to close up their stores
MIR. Rives is having row OF posts planted around
the site of Jackson Hail. to hang in mourning
and general and proper spirit Of respect, for the
