ted, presenting at some length the reasons on
which this conclusion was based Since then
nothing has occurred, going in any manner to
shake our conviction of the correctness of our
judgement on this point. So far a. the par.
tioular stories to which we refer are concern.
ed, we have to say that they have not the
least foundation In truth. General Davis
has worry recently made new arrangements In
his household matters here, which in them.
selves bear testimony Of his intention of re-
maining long in Washington; which purpose
he freely avows to all who choose to converse
with him on this subject We do not bellows
that either the President or General Davis

The Artizans Of Washing ton.-Th. fac,
that the cast iron work for the new domss for
the Capitol has been ordered out of Washing.
ton without afording our mech anics an onnor
tunity to contend for 1t, has been the subiso,
OF much inyidious comment among the citi-
Tens OF Washington for some days past. We
think, however, that when it is geners,,v
known hat tho peculiar character Of the vor
In question is such as to make Il advisable m
procure it from establishments sccustom ed
and prepared to furnish just such CASTINGS orr
ieliow-eitiIens will perceive that there Is M
design on the part of those entrusted with ,bs
supsrintendance Of the building of re ext.n.
sion OF the Capitol, TO send oct of the Di.,,;o,
OF columbia work that can as we'll be procured
or executed here. The fact that the order for
the castings Of the new domes was sent TO BaI.
umore has given rise to q rumor that Major
b. y. French, the Commissioner of the PubIi,
Buildings, designs procuring, in that city, the
iron ratings, which he is about to have erected
in various quarters Of Washington by direc.
ton Of Congress. Now, without having CON
Vsrsed With Major French on the subject, We
hesitate not to say, that il is impossible that
this rumor can be true; as the Major knows
well that this railing can be cast qaits as well
here as anywhere else, and that orr city me-
chsnics will gladly execute the work at prices
as satisfactory to the Government as any others
will charge. The fact that the Government is
always requiring the execution of great deal
Of mechanical work at this point of various
descriptions, has caused much capital and me.
ehanieal skill, inferior to that OF no other city
IN the United States, to be concentrated here. |

across the river, but hold their former position.
Various runners were current of a new peace

THE WAR.
No further important events had occurred az
the seat Of war, consequently the most interest
ing news is the details of the battles mt Sweaborg
and Tchernaya The loss of life at Sweaborg
was quite small, but the details thus far do not
state how much of the place has been destroyed
nor how much remains. According to the ao-
count Of the Russian Admiral. the bombardment
appears to have done but little damage, besides
burning the public stores. He says that no dam
age whatever has been done to the fortlheations'
batteries or guns; and he closes his despatch ON
the evening of the i2th, thus; !" no enemy re-

The French loss amounts to nearly 300 killed
and over 800 wounded. General Reed, OF the
