gress, that the recommendations of the Secre-
tary Of the Navy are regarded with favor, and
we doubt not that both Houses will ratify the
action of the committees. We hope that the
same wise and liberal course will be pursued
in reference to the recommendations of the
Secretary Of War. These two arms of the pub
lie service and the public defence require
strengthening. They also require support The
sailor and the soldier have alike been neglected.
Considerations both of policy and justice de-
mand that they shall be better cared for and
better paid.
1t is to be hoped, also, that the old abuses
that have so long chung to both the army and
navy, particularly the navy, will be duly con-
sidered and promptly reformed. Itis'needless
for us here to refer to them more specifically, as
we have before spoken of them; and inasmuch
as the Secretary calls special attention to them
in his able report. 1t is our purpose, however,
at a future time to recur to this subject, and
exhibit such facts and arguments in supported
the Secretary's recommendations as we may
deem necessary.

For the Washington Sentinel
A Song.

BY MISS JULIA PLEAsANTs
There are many around thee, the young and the
fair,
! Who are leading the reve along;
And their ringlets may vie with thine own sunny
tU hair,
And their lips rival thine in the song.
But there's never one with that angel-like grace
In each lineament's marvellous turn;
With the spirit, that shines through thy beautiful
face,
Like lamp through delicate urn.
There are many who brighten the banquet tonight,
I As the wave of the crimson wine flows,
with forehead, that beams like crescent oflighf,
And cheek like the bloom of the rose
But they have not that peace, like a soil brooding
dove,
Which is shelt'ring thine innocent yonth
Nor brow which hath brought from its birthplace
above,
Such heavenly halo Of truth.
No. they have not an eye, beaming under its shade,
Like that magical cavern Of old,
Which TO only one fortunate conner revealed
All its treasure ofjewels and gold.
For there ne'er was spirit sent down from on
high,
Half as bright, or spoiess as thine
And the Persians proud idol, though framed in the
sky,
Cannot boast a more beautiful shrine.

THE OPERA.

Risley's Variete, on Wednesday evening, was
the resort of an unusually brilliant and fashion
able audience. The occasion was the second
night Of the Italian Opera Troupe, and the ele-
giant and tasteful establishment of the stock
company was thronged at an early hour by the
elite of Washington. Donizetti's exquisitely
romantic opera, Lucia ID Lamme,moor, was
produced in a style Of the highest genius and
with complete success. The talented and
graceful execution Of Signora Rosa de Vries, as
the heroine Of the tragedy, was enthusiastically
encored. The roles Of Edgartio and arturo, by
Signors Pozzoliniand Baratini, as also Of Earico,
by Signor Tafanelli, were beautifully and eff
fectively rendered. There was an admirable SYM
patty and correspondence ofthe characters upon
stage--a thing too rarely found, yet Of the
highest Importance. The costumes were beau
tifnl and appropriate, the action throughout
faultless often intensely dramatic; the music,
both vocal and instrumental, of the first arts
tic merit. 1t was a luxury to catch the clear,
rich utterance of the Italian as it fell, syllable
by syllable, welded to celestial harmony.
1t was rare musical treat, and the public
owe much to the enterprise of Mr.. Risley in
securing, even for few evenings, the services
Of this celebrated operate company. We learn
that, this evening, the eminently popular opera
of Norma will be produced.

Ma The meeting Of Congress generally
draws large number Of strangers to Washing
ton. But it is not until after the Christmas
holidays are over that the great influx takes
place. Then the assembly balls begin, and
the private parties take place. Bellies come
from every quarter Of the country, and beaux
follow in their wake, as the little boat follows
the wellrigged frigate. Then the politicians
come with their schemes, and the spectators
With their enterprises. He must be lament
ably deficient in mother wit who can spend the
winter in Washington without becoming skill
full in fashions and astute in politics.
He who listens day after day to the debates
in the Senate and House Of Representatives, in
which the great minds Of the country come in
conflict must be dull indeed, if he escapes i'm
provement. In few hours he hears poured
out the learning accumulated by weeks, months,
and years of severe study. He is alike charmed
and improved by the splendid elocution Of the
orator, the terse and powerful reasoning of the
logician, and the elaborate learning Of the
scholar.
Washington, if the opportunities it offers
are taken advantage of, is the best school for
the politician and the statesman. Here is the
arena on which the combats of giants take
place-the clash Of mighty minds. Here, too,
are oil the sources Of information to which the
politician seeks access.
But there is another tribunal, the Supreme
Court, distinguished alike for deep learning
and for pre-eminent virtue. From those grave
and digni6ed Judges the highest edicts
known to the law, 60 out. They interpret the
law and the Constitution. They constitute one
Of the three departments Of the government.
Their sittings are like the watches Of the living
over the dead. Not whisper is heard. No
step falls with irreverent rudeness on the floor.
All is silent and solemn as the grave. This
court is the scene of the lawyers highest
triumphs. Before it Writ Tazewell, Webster,
Clay, Pinckney, and other great men won q
fame in the law as great, as enyiable, as their
fame in politics.
