was about o'clock this morning awakened by a
noise in his house, and arising from his bed, was
surprised by the fight of white man from a
back room, through his chamber He pursued
the fellow, but without success. On returning, he
found that the noise that awakened him had
been occasioned by the fall of quantity Of silver
plate the burglar had gathered up to carry off.
1t appeared that by the light of lamp burning in
the chamber, he had stolen from Mr.. SIS pocket
his gold watch and spectacles!

editorial control of the Richmond "Whig," in
consequence, not of personal displeasure toward
his late associates, but of mutual misconceptions
of their original verbal contract. Alexander
Mosely, an accomplished and able editor
will hereafter conduct the "Whig." Mr. John
son, in his proper position-by which we mean,
separate from the cares and anxieties of the bust
ness details of a newspaper concerns one of
the most caustc, brilliant and captivating writers
in the country, and man Of warm, generous,

with a loud welcome to the columns of any jour

The Norfolk "News" comes out strongly in
favor Of Hon. Stephen A. Douglas for the Presi-
dency; and in relation to him the News thus
discourses:
"When we say that our warmest feelings are
enlisted in his behalf, we speak too feebly. Ad-
miration Of his sterling intellect gratitude for his
eminent services, appreciation of his lofty indie
pendence, and sympathy with his Democratic
for the highest office in the peoples gift. When
others were silent, his eloquent and forcible
harangues were heard in defence of the consti-
tuition; when the more timid quailed before the
brawling outcries of demagogues and fanatics,
he rsked his popularity and his life to vindicate
law passed in defence of our rights, and,
throughout his political career, was always found
on the side of justice and republicanism. The
record of his deeds presents an unblemished page,
which the rough brush of opposition has not even
yentured to sully or defame."

Continental BalI-Omcers or the Late
Mexican War Present-FIag Presen-.
tatf0m.
We learn that some fifteen or twenty officers
Of the late war with Mexico purpose attending the
ball Of the Continental Guards, in the uniform
in which they appeared in Mexico at the head of
their command They have also, we learn, ten
dered to the " Guards" the flags and other tro-
phies of victory brought by them from Mexico,
with which to decorate the saloon. We saw to-
day Mexican flag, brought to this city by Capt.
William w. Hull, who was in Mexico in command
of a company of "Jersey boys" This flag is in
tended to have conspicuous place in the
saloon. The ladies of the Island have got up a
fine American flag for the. "Continentals,
which they intend to present through George
w. P. GUSTS, the venerable Continental, to
the "Guards," on the morning Of the 23d inst,
on Maryland avenue, in front of the house of Mr..
John Knight The grand display Of the militia
ny will be sight worth seeing at the ball to be
given at night, to say nothing of the pleasure of
stripping it on the light fantastic toe" From all
we can hear, this will be one of the grandest
affairs that have come off in Washington for many
years, and one which will be long remembered
by all who will have the pleasure of being at the
first ball given by this new company - the
continental Guards"

The Gymnasium.

If there is one thing more needed in this city
than all 'others, it is a gymnasium. The great
number of persons whose occupations are of a
sedentary nature would seem to invite the atten-
ton of some one to the enterprise of establishing
an institute of the kind. 1t is admitted that want
of exercise-of muscular exertion-among very
large mass of persons, is an evil Of no slight
magnitude. There are few who will engage in
an exercise not stimulated by some immediate
pleasure or qualification. Walking is too monoto-
nous for many; the exercise of the dumb bells
must be private; and few others are at all inyit-
ing A gymnasium would obviate all difficulties.
1t would throw open the door for the most excel
lent and healthy exercise, and would do more, if
properly established, with baths and other conve-
niences, to promote vigorous health among the
clerks under government, and persons of sedentary
and confined occupations, than any other one thing
Will not some one undertake this laudable enter
prise? We venture to predict its success.

The Empire Hotel.

This hotel presents very desirable accommodations to
citizens and strangers for the particulars Of which

yanderiyn,s Painting OF Niagara Falls.

This very beautiful and impressive piece of
American art is now on exhibition in the rotun-
ola of the Capitol. As painting, it does honor
to the artist, being very perfect representation
of that most wonderful of all cataracts on the
globe. 1t was painted in Paris several years
since, and there won the admiration of the thou
ton. Mr.. Vanderlyn is one Of Americas proud
masters of the pencil, and his numerous works
will last long after the hands that traced them
are no more.
We would suggest that such picture as this
would be beautiful and appropriate addition to
the walls of the Executive Mansion.

Navigation IN Richmond.

If the estimates be reliable which call for only
1880 to remove the bars in James river,
Va. to enable vessels of / 200 tons capacity to
reach the wharves at Richmond, we trust the
legislature will not hesitate to provide for its ac
compishment. The day is approaching in which
the mineral and agricultural products concentra-
ting at Richmond and the foreign merchandise
demanded there, will call for all the facilities of
access that nature and art combined can afford

Interesting Fact.

From the report of the gardener to whose care
the trees of the Crystal Palace were entrusted
it seems that the old elms under the glass shade,
so far from being injured by their confinement,
have increased in their branches from six to seven
feet, whilst the elms in the park have made, on
the average, only one foot of shoots.

of Virginia, is expected to preach at the Fourth
Presbyterian Church, Ninth street. this evening
and that the pastor, the Rev. ]. G. SMITH, relies
upon his aid during PR tracted series of even
ing meetings, of which thisis the beginning. We
have known Mr.. Pollock well in other days, and
have often heard his voice in the sanctuary. He
has the eloquence Of an earnest spirit and the
most perfect simplicity of manner united with a
mind of great clearness and remarkable powers
of analysis. He is also peculiarly well informed
in the history of the Old Testament, and often in
his discourses reveals minuteness of inyestiga
ton, and highly poetic appreciation of the gran
deur of his subject that impart a charm seldom
realized. We know not whether the duties now
before him will call forth the exercise Of these
higher attributes of eloquence, but we feel well
assured that they who enjoy the opportunity of
hearing him will highly prize the privilege.
