WASHINGTON CRY, August -

WASHINGTON Cry, August -.
Ny dear enquirer Without preliminary re-
mark, let me endeavor to write down for your
readers some of the facts and reflections, en,body-
ing the idea Of the Capitol of which my ram
blings for the past week have put me in posses
sion. Contrary to my expectation, have found
these to be more in number more attractive and
more instructive, than l have met with at any
other point of my journcyings. New York and
Philadelphia may become insipid and tame; but
verify believe that the stranger in Washington
would leave it with regret and with task but
half accomplished, even at the end of q twelve
month. You may readily "guess," therefore,
TINT the labor will be to determine what must be
left unwritten.
If time and space would permit, would like to
trace the early migrations of Congress, from time
to time and from point to place, and tell of the
almost insuperable difficulties which were sur
mounted, before the Capitol of our country found
"local habitation and name" You know that,
even before the achievement of our independence,
this topic pressed heavily upon the attention of
the Colonies, and threatened to endanger all that
might be Won 1t was peculiar: A youthful ma
tion, Minerva like, had sprung out, full-armed,
strong and hopeful: and powerful people chal
lenged the respect and admiration of the world,
while yet recognizing and boasting no common
heart Other peoples had been attracted to, aud
had, it were, crystallized around, their metrop-
oils: ours had capital to build! The matter
was urgent The government was myth po-
litical abstraction--an iden and demanded this,
the strongest as it was the last link to bind it in
unity, and arrest the rapidly y-increasing alienation
of its parts. 1t was difficult: All the prominent
interests, the powerful factions, local and party
jeaousies and ambitions, not less than the evident
auguries investing the event with an extraordinary
importance, conspired to "perplcx and dash ma
turest counsels"
The sessions Of Congress had already been held
in Philadelphia, New York, Baltimore Lancaster,
Annapolis Princeton, and Trenton. In 1888 at
Trenton, q resolution was adopted designating the
Potomac near Georgetown, or the Delaware; but
this was repealed. In the following year, an or
dinauce was passed providing for the location of
the Federal City on the Delaware. In 1886, an

property is immense and incalculablc.
Yesterday evening report reached the city that
the island in the Lake, a summer resort, vas
completely submerged, all the buildings swept a
way and 139 lives lost. Tho steamboat Star,
small packet was driven ashore 400 yards from
the hotel and wrecked; it was reported that 2oO
persons were clingng to her. A steamboat has
been dispatched to her assistance II is hoped that
the rumorsa are exaggerated but they have the
appearance of truth. 1t is feared to be too true.
The island was mostly frcquentcd by wealthy
planters. The neghboring parishes contained o
large hotel with numerous cottages-ail gone
The water rose at the ratc Of one foot minute.
1t is reported to be ivo feet deep oil over the is
land. Some rain this evening.
New 0nLEANs, Aug. 10.
Accounts from Last Island verify the sad story
of yesterday. II is positively nscartained that
one hundred and eight persons are lost. 1t is
feared TINT Gaand Gallon Island, another water
ing place, has shared the same fate Corn, cot
ton and sugar are ncalculably injured The Tex
MS steamers Nautilus and Perseverance are seye-
raj days due. The steamship Texas has gone in
search Of them.
The storm extended far up the river, as far as
heard from. At the Government Hospital, Baton
Rouge, fourteen inches Of water fell on Sunday
evening. The weather is clear this morning.
SECOND DISPATCH.
New ORLEANS, Aug. Is.
The survivors, Mt Last Island have reached the
city this morning. They estimate the, loss of life
ut two hundred and eighty two, already counted.
Many of the survivors are wounded, bruised
and have broken limbs. The dead bodies hare
been plundered by set Of priests who inhabit the
Island. The Perseverance and Galveston have
arrived. The Nautilus not heard from.
THIRD DESPATCH. a.
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 49,
Nothing definite from Gallon Island, but nn-
doubtedy there is great loss Of life It is report
ed that thirty bodies have been found at one end
of the Island.
The loss ofporpcrty on Last island is estimated
at 100000. 1t is supposed that SIC, 900 in mo-
ney have been taken from the pockets of the VIC
tins by the fell hands of TIE pirates besides $4,000
in the Baggage on the river. The banks cayed in
at Bayou Sara, carrying away three residences
no lives lost.
Several vessels have been blown ashore at the
mouth of the Mississippi. The telegraph lines
have suffered severely. The Br. schooner Man
chester, from Beliz, Honduras, went ashore at
the South Points, reports large fire at Beiis n
few days before her departuc--loss half mil

At meeting of the Board of Trustees OF the
Yorlsville Female College, the undersigned we're
appointed Committee to ascertain and publish
the facts in reference to the health Of Torkyile.
We have according appliedto to nil the practising
Physicians of the Village or Corporntion.-ths
limits of which extend one mile from the Court
House-for written statements of all cases ofdis-
ease both whites and blacks. their character, sges
of patients, and deaths, attended by each for the
last seyen days. and kestatement f.r the last
twenty-four hours. These statements haye been
readily aud kindly furnished us. On inspcction
of them the list of disease is so meagre, that the
committee regard IL unnecessary to trouble the
printer by throwing our statement into the form
of the usual table Of mortality.
We find that, during the longer time above nam.

embracing population, rs believed, of about
eighteen hundred inhabitants, fifteen cases Of dis
case. Four of these cases were Flux-two Of tEis

For the last twenty-four hours, no case of Fux

mer season, than the two preceding summers.
Regarding the statements Of the Physicians as
absolutely true and faithful, and deeply impress
ed with the responsibility of our position and un-
dertaking the committee say to the Patrons Of the
Female College, that erroneous reports of the
health of Yorkvlle have been circulated abroad
that, although death has been among us at the
command Of Him, whose hand no man cal, stay,
nor cline escape, yet our village is enjoying its
usual freedom from disease--that we know no
reason why Yorkville should not be regarded as
healthy as any other villageSin the State. We
feel constrained, however, to add our solemn be.

WASHINGTON CRY, August 13.
With the reluctance of one who has much to
see and but limited time ut his command, and
with the hurry and confusion of one who has very
much to write and too circumscribed space in
which to write it, resume the task of sketching
for your readers my progress of exploration
through the Capitol If I remember Alright, my
career terminated suddenly, in the 'ast letter,
with some conglomerated, "high-falutin" stuff
about the observation-disclosures which never fail to
turn up in the trains of fapciful people as they
enter the truly imposing portico of the Eastern
Front Now we leave but to proceed through the
doorway, to find ourselves in the far-famed Ro-
tunda-for its grand proportions and the rare
beauty and splendor of its adornings, far the most
attractive and interesting spot in all this wide do
main of ours. As the name implies, this Hall
situated Immediately under the dome, is circular
around and overhead, and is 96 feet in diameter
and the same number of feet to the apex. The
complete, circuit of the walls is indented with
panels distinguished from each other and decora-
ted with entablatures, and festoons of olives and
flowers Eight of these panels, occupying the
portions of the walls nearest the floor, arc occu
pied by historical paintings, illustrative of the
most prominent events in American history
Above these four of the smaller panels contain
stone busts of Columbus, Raleigh, Sale and Ca
bot There are four entrances: the :wo, eastern
and western leading to the respective fronts of
the Capitol; the Northern, to the Senate Cham
ber; and the Southern, to the Hall Of Representa-
tives. Over these entrances are small panels con-
tanning Italian sculptures of historical subjects
the Landing Of the Pilgrims on Plymouth Rock,
over the Eastern door; the Preservation Of Cup
tain Smith By Poeahonta,, opposite; PENIS Treaty
wiM the Indians, on the Northern; and tho Con-
Mct Jetveen Daniel Boone and he indians, over the
Southern entrance.I
With the exception of the last, these works do
not make forcible impression. Boone and the
Indians, however, though at first glance rude
bas-relief, is universally commended as work of
genius. 1t represents the great hunter in conflict
with two warriors, one of whom lies vanquished

which the pilgrims posterity have fallen. Until
you have gazed upon that countenance, reader,
let me tell you, you know nothing of the Beauti-
full.
In the Rotundo, is nlso to be seen a plaster cast
of Houdon's celebrated Statue of Washington the
original of which, said to be (though hope it is
not) the most correct likeness extant, is in the
Capitol at Richmond. Here, we also have the
liberty of inspecting, for time, model of the
atmospheric Telegraph, which actually conveying
mail matter from point to point in fabulously
short space of time threatens to supercede in
measure the lightning inventions of Morse, House
and others. Thus far, however, Congress has re-
fused to extend its patronage to the invention, and
it may yet turn out to be failure. In the Rotun-

where Nature IS most at nome, anu II time would
permit we would willingly consume the day in the
enjoyment of its never-tiring beauties. But We
must hasten on.
Following the winding pavement, we soon reach
the terrace, which screens the larger portion of
the basement, and ascending fight of steps we
find ourselves in front of Monument, erected by
the officers of the Navy to the memory of their
brother officers who fell at Tripol. Upon pc
destal resting in an oval basin of running water,
rises small shaft, at the four corners of which
are marble figures representing the Genius of
America, History, Commerce, and Fame, and up
on the top of which is representation Of the A.
On the pedestal are the names of Somers, Cald
WELL Decatur, Wadsworth, Dorsey, and Israel, oil
gallant names, whose title to immortality was won
nobly in battle which is almost forgotten, was
yet rs hard-fought as any known to our annals
Ascending to the top Of the terrace, and cros-
sing the broad granite walk, we arrive at the en-
trance of the building but we shall here change
our course, and passing along on aisle running
through the basement, make our way out to the
east front. Proceeding to the outer edge of the
lawn, which, occupying space of least twenty
acres, presents picture of beauty inferior only
to that on the west side, we obtain the imposing
view of the Capitol, familiar to all, but known es-
pecially to every school-boy who has become dig
nifcd with the possession Of copy-book.
While admiring the grand proportions of this
magnificent pie, let us tuln for a moment to its
history. The plan was designed by an amateur
architect, DR.. William Thornton and the corner
stone was laid by Gen. Washington, 18th of Sep
tember 1893, the first year of his second term as
Chief Magistrate. In 1900 the seat of govern
ment was removed to Washington, and the work

The sanduslry meeting.

The gathering of people at Sandusky on
the 10th was a monstrous one. The num-
Der estimated are from 80 100000. Most
extensive preparations had been made by
the people of sandusky for the reception Of
all. Several stands were erected for speak
ers and were occupied by Gov. Chase, Hon.
B. F. Wade, Hon. John Sherman and How
ard of the Kansas Investigation committee,
and several others whose names we did not
learn.
The hospitalities of the citizens viii long
be remembered by all whowe there. To
see the zeal minifested by such a gathering
of people strikes terror to the hearts of the
opposition. They know their cause is a
hopeless one, and that the election of the
Peoples Candidates FREMONT and DAY
TON, is inevitable. Fullaccount next week.

ALAS! FOR KANSAS!



As will be seen in another column, the
President has boldly come out and pro
claimed that the infamous, and inhuman
enactments of the legislature of Missouri
rufians are to be enforced, at whatever cost
of treasure or blood. The miserable rab-
bic of the border counties are enrolled un-
der human fends by the order of Franklin
Pierce, United States arms are given to
them and thev are orded to shoot down Free
State men. How should the Indignation
of every freeman be stirred within his breast
as he thinks of such inhumanity. Fiends
would stand aloof from the committal OF
of such acts. Alas that such deeds can be
perpetrated and the vengeance of the Al
mighty still slumber. Rouse! Freemen! :.
Why sit you still, and the blood of your
murdered friends crying to you for an aven-
ger AS the President has determined to
make Kansas a Slave State at the point Of
the bayonet and the cannons mouth,ltls Is the
duty of the Free States to send money,
powder and cannon to Kansas. The Gov
ernor of every northern State should imme-
diately call together the Legislature in extra
session and unitedly demand of the Presi-
dent that the Free State men be allowed
their rights in the territory of Kansas. But
we fear that before any thing could be done
for freedom, the minions of Slavery will
have accomplished their purpose.
VIII any man Who makes pretension to
honesty, and has acted with the democratic
party heretofore, now dare to say that the
extension of Slavery is not the sole and
only aim of the supporters of Buchanan
God will not hold such an one guiltIess.
