TerebrntiOn.

Under this head the editor of the Boston Post thus
hits off of the evils he is compelled to put up
with in his sanctum. Lest some of our readers may
be driven to look into Webster to ascertain the sig
MITIGATION of the word terebration, we can inform
them that it means the "act of boring. The editor
of the Post hits some of the bores who poster him
the wise following:
An Act from an Unpublished Drama.
DRAMAT1s PERsoNE-An Editor and two Bores.
SCENE-Editor's Sanct,m.
Enter two bores
First Bore-Good morning. Mr.. Editor-fne day
Editor looking hard at his work, and scrbbling
furiously)-Yes, sir, fine weather for people who
have leisure to enjoy it-but it's nothing to me- sir
Second Bore-Why, yours is the prettiest business
in the world should like to be an editor myself
Edtor-It has its vexations, however.
First Bore-Ah indeed What are they?
Edtor-Why, perhaps the worst is bores-people
who worry editor because they can't think Of
anything else to do.
Second Bore-Is it possible
Edtor-Worse than that-its fact
First Bore WE'LL that is comieal.
Edtor-Yes you, perhaps mean to the
bores-but it's COMPOUNDED tragical to everybody else
Second Bore Trying to change the subject, and
returning to the weather gain)-Vegetation has ia
ken rapid start
Editor-Yes, sir, there's lesson for some people
in that
First Bore-And the trees are beginning to leave
Editor-So they are-the trees are very reasona
BILE in that respectfully do leare some time or 9th

ample to you as worthy of imitation. Exeunt bore:
in amazement Editor bolts the door, and falls into
reverie, from which he is presently aroused by the
devils call for "copy."

correspondent of the New York Tribune furnish
es the following description of the new building
about to be erected for the accommodation OF the
Congress of the United States:
1.-The air is to be admitted under ground. filtered
through water, rarifed in winter by means OF hot
water. or cooled down in summer before admitted
into the halls.
1t is to be passed up through pipes built in she
walls into horizontal valve round the ceiling The
purified air is to discharge off the shelf of the cornce
which surrounds the ceiling. The vtiaed air is to
be withdrawn through perforated castmetal floor,
by means of a pump. Four ventilating shafts in
each wing are also provided, thrOugh which the car
bonic acid gas will discharge when the air pump is
not in operation, forming double means OF ventlla-
ton to command pure and temperate atmos-
phere in the halls at all seasons. The ingress and
egress of air, and the temperature can be adjusted
to nicely, as the number in the house shall require
without at all interfering with the accoustice of the
apartments there will be currents produced by
open windows to interfere with the sound. Any
quantity of pure air be forced up by connecting
blowers with the fresh air chambers. This prnc-
pie of ventilation is supported by Professors Arnot
and Hood, of London, Professor Reid, OF Edinburgh,
Dr. Bell, of Boston, and recommended in Henry Ber-
nards work on Public Schools. Noise from the ex-
terror is excluded there being corridor round the
Halls, communicating with Offices each side and an
audience chamber, and two conference rooms behind
the chair, with private stairs to the reporters rooms
and telegraph Offices, which latter stand behind the
reporters galleries each side of the chair. Mr..
Anderson is worthy the gratitude OF the press Tor
this very convenient arrangement, and we trust
his ingenuity will be duly appreciated. By SIM
pie and mechanical arrangement, the vote is convey
ed all over the House and to the galleries, on the
principle practiced in the French Theatres. The
public galleries extensive and easy of access from
the different quarters the stairs being placed in the
old building. There are private stairs from the
gravel in front for the members to enter both wings
The new wings connected with the present bull
ding by Hobbies outside the doors of the new Hall and
Senate Chamber. The wings extend about 100 feet
east of the present building and about 20 feet west
so as not to interfere with the terrace, which forms
such beautiful feature that side, north and
SOUTH having fine portion in the centre, with eight
Corinthian columns looking north and south. There
are three such porticos the east and two square
additions to the Library projection the west sur
mounted with porticos for the public accommodation
from which the city and surrounding scenery can be
viewed these porticos are accessible from the upper
floor of the new wings to the Library.
"The exterior forms magnificent and perfect
building highly creditable to the nation"

PORTSMOUTH, Va, July 10Th. 1856

PORTSMOUTH, Va, July 10Th, 1851.
Mr.. EDIToR: have always had desire to
communicate for your interesting paper some of
the passing events of interest, which almost daily
transpire In this section Of the Old Dominion but
an opportunity has never presented itself until
now Indeed, sir, we are a great people, and
Portsmouth is great town, and already far sur
passes her sister town Norfolk in progress and
beauty the streets are wide and airy, and has
nearly nine thousand inhabitants, eight churches,
City Hall, and two places for public exhibitions,
besides the great Navy works and the Navy Hos
pital, which adds much to the beauty of the place
We have had that distinguished American citi-
zen, WILLARD FILLMORE, to visit us. He was
warmly received, and expressed himself much
pleased with Virginia hospitality.
The seventy-fifth anniversary of American In
dependence has passed, and it was celebrated here
in manner creditable to every lover of liberty
and the Union.
Our community has been much excited by the
Development of dishonest transaction, which it
seems has been going on for some time between a
hardware merchant and grocer of this place, with
the officers servants attached to the navy yard
A few weeks back, the Commandant of the yard
missing copper from the different departments,
and suspectng some of the workmen of the yard
to be engaged in the theft, ordered the gates to
be closed until the bell rmg for them to commence
work, which, besides exposing them to the in
clemency of the weather, a gross reflection
upon large portion of our community, as there
are one thousand now engaged in the yard For
tunately fact has come to light which settles
everything satisfactorily: the grocer has stated
that he bought no copper from any white man, but
from the officers servants The two merchants
have been arrested and held to bail for appearance
next court. In the possession of one of these mer
chants was found 500 worth Of copper, with the
navy yard stamp upon it; and from his books is
shown that he consigned thousands to different
places. hope that the guilty persons alone will
be made to suffer, for an example made Of some
of these land pirates may others of dishonest
intentions.
Old Point Comfort, from recent improve ments,
is one of the most attractive watering places in
the country, and at present is crowded with visi-
tors from all parts of the country.
Respectfully, your friend, P. II. NJ.
