fem ofthe hero OF San Jacinto, was the stunted and
insignificant John o. Sargent, the hero OF the
RtIt6ltc newspaper; who crept about, and in and
out among the legs of people, looking. as happy and

carefully nursing in the Republic skillet, has all

however, the lovely young Miss Wilcox, daughter
of Mrs. Gen. Ashley, OF 81. Louis. She was dress

attention and attraction to a crowd of admirers
Yesterday afternoon, for the first time this season,
the marine band from the Navy Yard were sta

dressed ladies and their cavaliers dispersed about

rising and falling upon the evening breeze, like the

President Taylor, as gay and joval ms ever,
brought his inevitable blue cont into the field, and
walked about, talking laughing and shaking hands
with the utmost cordiay, and utterly free from
afieoation constraint. He is really noble fell
low, and if they only would let him read the Herald
freely, and inform himself thoroughly OF what is
going on out of doors, he would be death to hum
bugs, and altogether glorious President.
The general aspect of things here, at the present
mcment, is dull an. stagnant, TO a remarkable de-
gree. Society is thinning out, and making prepa-
ratons for the summer campaign and people have
been on the rack and strain so long that they have
fairly got sick of excitement, and broken down.
The debates el the coming week, however, will
have tendency TO stir them up, and set things a.
fIoth again. Amusements and theatricals are
always dull in Washington; but the beautiful
Julia Dean has been making quite sensation
during the week past, and goes away with in
/ creased reputation, as well as a heavier purse.
