WASHINGTON, June II, lS45
The City in 1cmning-lM aud Things ia
General.
The Departments are all closed, their doors hung
with Grape, and their clerks allowed holiday, for
day, In respect 10 the memory of General Jackson.
The Capitol is also shut up, and all and singular the
federal ediices OF the city. The Naval Court Mar
tia met this morning at hafpast ten, when, after
the reading Of the journal of yesterday the court
adjourned over till tomorrow, tribute of respect
to the deceased chieftain of the Hermitage The
U. S Circuit Court, sitting in and for this county,
did the same. The local Criminal Court will meet
tomorrow for the same purpose
In conversation with the learned and courteous
Judge Advocate, (of the aforesaid Court MartiaD to
wit, Mr.. HalIet he said 1t was certainly better
the Court should adjourn to-day in respect TO
General Jackson's name and services in preference
to any other day that we might have selected, be-
cause II Is the anniversary OF the battle OF Bunker
Hill, OF which, suppose you have heard something
doctor, In your time" And then we thought Of John
Tylers triumphant visit to Boston in the summer oil
i3, and TO the Bunker Hill celebration; and how he
was received at New York, and how the great guns
were fired on the water and on the land !; and how
ne was escorted round the city by mighty process
sion, headed by the Corporation andAlderman Purdy,
and followed by host of old hunkers and subterra
means. And then we also thought how Captain
Tyler lett the city on the expiration of his eventful
dynasty-u solitary and ndalone"-melan-
choly, and too late Tor the steamboat which boat,
twelve months before, would have lost her trip
rather than have lost John Tyler. Alas alas what
miserable worshlppers we are OF the rising sun, and
how contemptuousy we turn our backs to the setting
uminary There Is not more cOntemptby selfish
creature in Gods creation than civilized image of
Divinity. But this is homily, and with homilies
we have nothing to do
Hon. Louis M Lane, of Maryland, goes to England.
Whether it was the advertisement in the Herald,
the discovery that he had $4,000 to spare we have
not ascertalned but we opne that ne expects rather
to make than to lose money upon this mission. He
was of the expelled cabinet of Gen. Jackson,
and he went it strong for Harrison, but came out
| with dgniied moderation for Polk during the late
campaign. The post is one OF which he could not
have dreamed month ago, though his history as
politician satisfies of his ability to fill the office.
He used to be rather equivocal the subject OF
| nexation, and somewhat ambiguous on the Oregon
question; but with the golden spectacles OF $9 900
outfit, he will assuredly stand up for the immediate
acquisition OF the territory, and for every sollta-
ry square inch of the other. Moreover, the State OF
Maryland will feel the honor of the appointment;
and the consideration Of giving the old State at least
one important Office doubtless had its influence with
| the administration.
And Mr.. Rhett goes to Europe privately Was
1 this st. Georges mission offered to him! Would
/ he not have accepted it Upon this hint there is
yet time for Captain Polk to give South Carolina an
official post abroad in the person of Mr. Rhett.
Professor Espy says there was a severe storm to
the westward last night. Hence the cool and strong
gale from the northwest for the last twelve hours
In about two weeks you will hear again the groans
of the wounded and the curses of the decapitated.
A goodly number of clerks will be then paid their
last monthly lnstament, and turned loose upon the
| community. ABD-EL-KADER.
