THE CAPITOL.

A correspondent of the Intelligencer of this
morning asks, g if the President has selected
the plan for the new addition to the Capitol, for
which an appropriation was made the session
before last; and if so, why has it not been an
nounced, and the work commenced?"
We have reason to believe the plan for this
improvement will be matured and announced
in due time, and that the appropriation of
100000 will be expended among our worthy
mechanics and laborers, before the next meet
ing of Congress, when another appropriation
will be necessary. Why should there be such
hot haste in this matter? The President does
not act in this manner Due deliberation marks
all his steps, and hence he is not obliged to
retrace any of them.
The enlargement of an architectural work
like the Capitol is more difficult problem to
solve than the creation of q new edifce would
present As Congress has deemed it proper to
impose the responsibility of so serious o matter
upon the President, he should not be compelled
to act hastily, nor be annoyed by the importu.
mites of interested persons. His Administra.
ton win be held responsible for the plan, what,
ever it may be.

FIRE AT BLADENSBURG.

We regret to learn that the handsome resi-
dence of John Bowie, esq, near Bladensburg,
was destroyed by fire last night During the
snow-storm yesterday, the chimneys were
"burned out" in the usual manner, and no
danger was thought of until the alarm was given
by persons who in passing saw the smoke as
cending from the roof Mr. Bowie Immediately
FASTENED to the attic, but found it in flames, and
had to retreat and save all he could below The
ladies of his family took refuge in the house of
his neighbor, Mr.. Vass. The furniture of the
first story was all saved, and small portion of
that in the second also. The house, which was
of wood, was entirely consumed, and we believe
was valued at about $4,000. We have heard
no estimate Of the value of the furniture de-
stroyed. There was partial insurance
more, in amount, we believe, than ST., 500.
The neighbors and the people of Bladens-
burg turned out nobly, and rendered all the
assistance in their power; as also did the people
of color, some of whom displayed the noblest
heroism in their attempts to save valuable arti-
cles of furniture from the flames We wish it
were in our power to name the servants of Mr.
Charles Calvert, Mr.. Dunn, and DR.. Penn, who
in On especial manner distinguished themselves
in these efforts.

THE wHEELwRFGHTS, CoACHMAKERS,
AND BLACKSMITHS.

We learn from the morning papers that the
contemplated procession yesterday was but par
tally observed, owing to the inclemency of the
weather; and that about dozen of those who
united in it were arrested, and bound over or
committed to Jail, for offering violence to a
member of their craft who refused to unite in
their demands for the ten-hour system, and also
for resisting and assaulting officer Mulloy in
his attempts at protecting the person assailed.
If those things are so, it is much to be re-
GREETED; for good cause can be in no way so
fatally injured as in the use of injudicious
means of defending it. Duty and interest
would alike point all who desire the proposed
reform to the making atonement for any inju-
ries inflicted or laws offended and the renew
ing their attempts, under the guidance Of better
counsels than those of passion and warfare.
Inc biunder that has been thus made should
prove no impeachment to permanent success.
On the contrary, it should admonish to a more
even course of policy in the future-such
course as cannot fail to bring success.
