This morning arose with my heart as
light and as gay as is my wont after sweet
sleep, when bright and pleasant dreams still
leave their lingering shades upon my excited
fancy. l had. been thinking of one bright
form whose very presence always afforded
me so much happiness, and the thoughts Of
her awaking in my bosom such emotions,
tbat long hours would pass away before they
would subside,-I say 1 was thus musing,
when note was handed me. I saw at once
it was from fair friehd-and remembering
all former communications impaired to me
a hope and JOY that would be as durable and
lasting as mortal could wish-I eagerly
seized it and pressed it to my lips, and then
placed it near my heart until leisure mo-
ment would give me an opportunity to un-
derstand its full import. Retiring to a Sc
Guided spot for fear Of interruption, drew
the treasure from my breast and once more
pressed it to my lips, then hastily broke the
seal, and to my establishment these words
appeared: "APR1L Fool"

Local improvements.

AOCaA
1.-THE rapid growth and progress of Wash
ington, within the last few years in parti-
cular, and the unmistakable guaranty,
which we have in the shape of our large
public buildings, as to the determination of
Congress to continue it as the Capital of
the Nation, has directed public attention
good deal to the subject of local improve
nents. Among the most desirable would
be that of railroad track from the Capitol
TO the White House and thence to George
town. 1t would have the effect to completely
connect both places, and facilitate inter
course considerably, running at certain and
stated hours. There are innumerable argu
ments in favor of Railroad of the de-
scription We refer to. Rapid intercourse,
above all other advantages fills up space and
concentrates the population in wards aud dis
:ricts. Harlem, an outlet of New York city,
is crowded with business men, who are at
all times within ten or twelve minutes of
their stores and Offices through Railroads !;
and, in every aspect of the case, Railroad
would be great improvement here.
The drives about Washington surpass in
picturesqueness and beauty in any part of
he Union-or rather We should say, can
compare with even West Point, or the en-
chanting secrecy in the vicinity of New
York. The most tasty style of cottages and
country residences ere springing up in all
quarters, and great number of the inhabi-
tants of the District, reside "out of town."
Many of the old buildings are an 'seye sore,"
and the men of business would do we'll in
time to look after them, as they may rely
upon it, Washington is 'going to be city"
The grounds, laid out under the taste
and direction of the public gardener, are
made the subject of much complimentary
'emark, and altogether the city is rapidly
growing in size and population. Wooden
buildings, however, are great drawback
On the improvements-and apart from the
dangers by fire, give the incendiary facili-
ties for his work, which should prompt the
builder to start on the true and solid mode
of raising dwelling. There is law that
prohibits the building Of wooden houses in
New York and other cities, and as we are
now on the high road to prosperity, and
sre growing in size and strength as city,
We should do every thing in our power to
keep up" what houses We build, and pro-
Ject them as monument of local industry
and prosperity.

Incendiarisnl.
and prosperity.

We are much exposed to this danger, and
left too much to the mercy Of the incendia-
~, whose torch so often does its work of
destruction in our midst. 1t needs "no
ghost from the grave to tell us this" Any
one walking our streets at II or II o'clock
1t night, can look around and see our utter
restitution, through want of q large and
effective police force. The men employed
in this department are une1ceptionable in
point of character aud qualifications, bu,
he scantiness of the numbers, taken in
connection with the size of the city; the
distance between the buildings, and the ig-
nitable materials in the shape of timber
yards and other places of the kind in the
very heart of the city, should prompt our
''City Fathers" to make some provi sion for
an increase Of the night watch, who ought
to be paid literally and well for their SER
VICES. lueTc are uO CLASS Ol u0u VINO nave
to discharge an arduous and responsible
duty, worse compensated for their services
and no class Of men to whom we owe SO
much, as our night watch. When reposng
upon our easy pillows, the robber and in
cendiary are kept at bay, through his vigi-
lance; and as security to life and property
depends SO much upon his labors, this arm
of the public service cannot be too carefully
protected, nor too literally encouraged and
promoted. Give US . larger force; we ask
them in the name of our citizens in general.

The Rolling INH-Te New Ordnance De-

NAVY YARD, March 81
A few days since we were gratifed with
q view of the mills in the department where
sheet and bolt copper are manufactured.
1t is indeed astonishing to witness with
what accuracy the copper is reduced to any
size, from five tenths of an inch to ten hun
dreths. The old scrap copper is smelted in
alarge furnace and formed into plates of II
inches in length and width, the thickness of
each plate is about two inches; these are
then heated in another furnace, brought out
piece by piece, and submitted to the pres
sure of Il large roller which is arranged
so that the operator can, by turning wheel,
reduce the metal to the required thickness.
The engines connected with the apparatus
in the Rolling Mill are beautifully construct
ed and reflect great credit upon the designer,
William NJ Ellis. and his superior work
men. Each engine is about 90horse power,
and connects with q massive fly wheel which
we think is nearly 80 feet in diameter. ..
The brick layers, under the supervision
Of that excellent mechanic, Mr.. Robert E.
Doyle, are making rapid progress with the
new Ordnance building; we think that in
few days their part of the work will have
been flushed.
This department will probably be the
finest in our Yard, and the very best me-
chanics are employed now in the old build
ing, where all the work for ordnance pur-
poses is executed in o style that almost
defss competition.
A rumor, SO We have been informed. has
Spread throughout the Yard that a tota,
suspension of business must ensue for want
of sufficient funds,-the appropriation hav-
ing run "down at the heer'-to carry on the
work. If this news be of a correct nature
they who have looked for the 20 per cent
will feel rather sickly, indeed we think it
will be ''bad potatoes"

Mr.. ED1ToR: On looking over some of
your exchanges perceive that many of the
editors complain of the irregularity of the
mails, some of them say that they do not
receive the intelligeace of an important ma
ture until too late for publication. What
is to be done? Shall such a state of things
continue? Is there no method by which
regular mail may be transmitted from city
to city? To whom must we impute blame?
to the postmasters or the carriers-to the
railroad or steamboat companies! The
fault lies between them, and l sincerely
hope that measures may be taken to pre-
vent the too frequent detention of the
mails
1t may be asked, by some, why am 1 in
terested in this matter? I answer that
every one has right to complain AMI par
ticularly those who have just cause, indeed,
1 might say, with regard to the mail for
Washington city, that very often my letters
if of business kind, never come to hand
until too late.
Whose fault is it? Does the postmaster
fail to distribute the letters al 4 papers
among the different carriers, or do the car
riers neglect this important duty? These
things should be attended to by the proper
authorities, for have heard many complain
in our own city, of not receiving their let
ters by due course of mail | think, above
all things, that the carriers attached to the
Post Offices should lie most careful about
this duty, much devolves upon them, they
may hold in their hands matter of life and
death or even the fate of an individual, and
if they are careless how disastrous may
prove the consequences.
Let every postmaster, then, strictly
charge each carrier to deliver, without de-
10y, the matter consigned to his care and
those who may prove dilatory, let them be
removed and their places filled by men who
will attend strictly to their duty Yours,
FERRI.

STEAMBOAT VS.. RAILRoAD.-The compile
ton and opening of several through lines of
railroad communication between the Eastern
cities and the West, (says the Philadelphia,
North American,) have excited curious
competition between those roads and the
steamboats, on the Ohio river and the north
ern lakes. Hitherto, the steamers have
possessed the entire business. To this COM
petition is to be attributed the immense
increase in the lake and river commerce and
travel Of the West. The Cleveland Forest
City, says that the Ohio river steamers
threaten to cut off the great bulk of the
through travel between Pittsburg and Gin
cinnati, unless the railroads put down their
fare to q low figure The lake steamers
also, says the same paper, will compel the
shore roads to lower their tariff of CHARGES
or lose their passengers. All of the com
petitors have lowered their fares, and still
geater reductions are looked for. One
consequence Of this will be great increase
Of travel on all the lines. multiplication
of facilities Of speed and comfort may also
be looked for
