Things at washington.

An occasional correspondent of the New
York Evening Post, under date Of the Sd
inst, writes as follows:
"Unequivocal signs Of steady occupation
pervade every department.; but that of tho
navy just now is, perhaps, the busiest. The
condition Of our foreign relations has cali
ed this bereau into uncommon vigor. The
sailing Of vessel after vessel; the drafting
Of officers; the issuing Of orders, and an
endless amount Of important detail, afford
rapid exercise to the hard-tas ked faculties
Of all concerned. The new Secretary,
Bancroft, has taken hold Of the helm with
. skillful and powerful grasp. His indus
try knows no bounds. From eight in the
morning, till late at night often, he is at
his post. The application Of the student
has fitted him for the indefatigable devo-
tion necessary to the man in Office with
duties so multifarious and responsible.
He dispatches business with uncommon
activity, and such are his powers Of con-
centration, that whilst indulging in easy
conversation with his troops Of visitors,
be examines documents, signs papers, and
dictates answers to his correspondents
There is no doubt that Mr.. Bancroft will
do honor to the Cabinet and raise himself
in public estimation; and It is well for the
country that we have a man in his 'loe,y
place every way competent to its require
ments. Strange to say, that at . msment
when Washington seems abandoned, that
the White House should wear 50 lively an
aspect. Carriages are driving in and out
the day long, and its doors are very
throngcd. President Polk is certainly
much sought after, and those who come
have anything but curiosity for their mo-
tive. Business, important business, is en-
lgraved on their grave countenanccs, which
carefully read means Office, or good con-
tracts. Notwithstanding these intrusions

THE IMPORTANCE OF EXECUTING WIrLs
IN THE SEASON OF HEALTH. Those who
have property should never lose sight O
the fact that we are only stewards Of the
worldly goods which We possess, ant
hence are responsible for the right distri
button of them by will. When man re.
fleets how many domestic animoslies and
family separations have been, and are vel
constantly produced, by the neglect Of the
heads Of families, in not having their wills
duly and promptly executed; when he con.
slider that, from the want of proper spe.
cifcation and appropriation Of property by
will, il may 60 into the most unworthy
hands, TO be lay;shed away by prodgal
heirs, who were never intended by the ties.
tator TO have full possession Of it--nay,
even when their having any control over
it would, perhaps, have been his last wish /;
when also he remembers that so great is
the uncertainty of life, that {" in the midst
Of lie we are in DEATH" not even know
ing what tho next day or hour may bring
forth, how clearly and for,;bly must it ap-
pear TO his mind, as if inscribed there
with the distinctness Of a sunbeam, that
one of the most urgent and important Of
his earthly obligations is that Of "setting
his house in order" before sickness and
death come suddenly upon him! Those
who postpone executing their tesiamenta-
ry arrangements, from the supersiitious
apprehension that such IN act would prove
the immediate precursor Of death, are lit
tie aware Of the unfounded nature of these
fears, and of the very converse Of the eff
fects they so much dread, being the facts
of the case. 1t would be well for persons
Influenced by such fears, to inquire whe-
Their delay in the execution of their wills
may not be. under some circumstances,
the very means Of accelerating the termi-
nation of life. In case Of severe and sud
den illness, it is often most important for
the mind 10 be kept free from anxiety. IL
is, however. the duty of medical man,
when doubtful as 10 the issue Of disease,
to ask il the affected person has comple-
ted his tes,amentary arrangements. The
very inquiry agitatcs every member of
the family, and no one is willing 10 put
the question 10 the sufferer. Have you
made your will" IL question that will
speak volumes to him. II will disturb
every power of his soul. The very men,
ton Of the subject may BIO the feather in
the scale which will turn the balance or
death. Than this, surely no fact can be
conceived offering a more powerful argu-
ment in favor Of performing this duty
whilst in state Of health and yigor, when
the task will have better chance Of be-
ing judiciously executed, and without any
risk of i'll consequences, either 10 mind
or body.
