Washington Gossip.

We publish the following extract from the
Washington letter (July l9) of the San Francis
CO GLAZE, says the Sacramento Union, for two
reasons. In the first place, it affords inforra-
ton of what Calfornians are doing there; and
in the second place, it is an exemplification of
the spirit of toadyism that prevails at the Ma
tona Capital. 1t will be preceived that there
is not single man from our State at the seat
of Government. They are all either Generals.
or Honorables, or Judges, or Colonels, or
'Squires, or Doctors, and few Of no higher
rank than Captain. 1t is q pity that ladies can
not wear titles in our country--it would be SO
refreshing to see in print the names of titled
Californians, in matrimonial connection with
those of the Honorable Miss. A, or the Coun-
| tress of B., or the Warehouses of c., or the
Duchess of D. We, however, give the extract
alluded to:
Our California friends at present in the city
are numerous, and most of them are very popu-
lar among the ladies. Col. Thomas ii. Holt
was married on the 10th inst. to Miss Adeline
d., daughter of Thomas l.. Smith, Esq, Auditor
of the Treasury. They were married at ST.
Nicholas Church, by the Right Rev. DR.. Payne,
and afterwards held a reception at which all the
Calltornians in the city were present together
with the elite of the fashion in Washington. On
the 18th, Hon. A. c. Bradford. of Stockton. was
married to Miss Lizzie Wager. of Rome New
York. Mr.. Bradford leaves on this steamer
with his fair bride for California. He is a gen
tleman in every sense of the word and with his
lady, will she'd luster upon the society of Stock
ton or any other place in which he may locate
Would that we had thousands more of such men
in our young State. Judge j. A. Godfrey of
San Francisco, has been appointed Consul
General for Guaymas, and the adjacent coun-
try and leaves in a few days for his post. The
Judge returns to marry and carry with him one
of the fair bellies of Baltimore. Col. Mckay.
Gen. Dosh, Hon. ?. c. Rust, Hon. s. B. Smith,
Charles Dickinson, Esq, Col Phelan, Capt. Jo-
seph Tiven, of Tulare, Capt. Banding, and
number of others here. Most of them have
mates" or 'better-halvas' engaged, while the
others are after their partners with sharp
sticks. DR.. Wozencraft has procured the pas
sage of a bill for his relief in the House, which
will pass the Senate without doubt. The Dr..
intends, upon his return to California, to re-
sumo the practice of his profession, for which he
is well fitted He ranked very high as a physi-
clan in Tennessee, before he left for California.
Quite an interesting meeting ACQUIRED between
DR.. W. and some gentlemen from Texas, few
days ago in this city. DR.. W. happened to be
in Texas during the prevalence of the Asiatic
cholera, and was very successful in fact he new
er lost case. After the disease disappeared,
the citizens assembled and passed resolutions
returning thanks, and among the substantial
Acknowledgements they presented him with a
most beautiful horse and accouterments. These
gentlemen composed the committee to present
the tribute of gratitude of people to one whom
they regard savior. Many of our Calfor-
MIA frinds in this place are indebted to the Dr.
for his services as physician this season; all
who knew him regarded him with warm feel.
