Correspondence f the Nirxinia".


December 81.
Both Houses of Congress in session yesteEAay
but the members not having yet got "christmas OUT
of their bones ii but little. The proceedings IN
the lower House were diversified and animated by
spicy family quarrel among the Illinois delegation
Mr. Washburne (Republican) on one side Messrs'
lIarris and Marshall two of his Democratic col
leagues, ON the other. Among other things WASH
burne asserted that the democrats of his district were
nearly all strong tteeKaasas men. This TALES very
well with the " Buchanan Brectiaridge and FREE
hansdsn business ia Pennsylvania, the squatter-
Sovereignty notions OF Old Buck, and the declaration
of the Vice President elect that he "belonged to no
party that went for the extension of slavery" Yet,
this is the great universal Democratic party, Ginning
to be the same all over the Union and standing eve
ry man OF them on the same identical platform No
wonder they elect their men when they, the con-
rary offer the peculiar bait suited for the palate of
all kinds of political fish. But " let EN- rip They
have everything in their own hands, and we will see
what another four years democratic administration
will bring forth 1t was said by SOME one that Gen.
Perees administration had been useful on one ac-
count; II had dignifed the Administration of Mr.
Tylerl Let US hope that Mr. Buchnnans will not
dignity that of Gen. Pierce. But allow me just here
to say that if all the acts and words of President
Pierce during his term, had been Of such character
Ms to correspond with his late message his admins
tration would have been brilliant That is n
document in the main, of remarkable ability and
correctness of yiewsnational, PATRIOTS and wise,
and forms one green beautiful fragrant oasis in the
arid desert OF his official career Let him have praise
for what he has done worthy ofit and now, that he
is the setti"g sun let not scrutinize too closely
the dark spots that obscure his disc
have little piece OF news in which worthy cit
izcn of Lynchburg is interested. The name of our
former contemporary and present Post Master, Ro II.
Glass Esq, is mentioned in connection with the ed
itorship of the Buchanan organ Well, why should
he not be called to the post? lie is Jealous in the
cause strong in the frth has fought the good fight,
is experienced and expert in the duties editorial,
wiells a ready and effective pen-and why should not
this crown of Democracy be placed upon him? | go
for his appointment, and shall use my strong innu-
ence with the Sage of Whcatland in its favor In
turn, if Mr.. Glass chooses to recommend his
successor in his present little snuggery under Mason
ic Hall, why, shall not complain. These little conr
trsies and reciprocites not rare in political mat
ters-"yon tickle me and I'll tickle you being
cognized principle of action among asprnns for po-
lItcal station SO tickle away Mr.. Glass aud I'll
tickle back with all my might; and both together We
will eachinatc old Buck into acquiesence
Preparations beginning to be made already for
the inauguration ceremonies ofthe 18th of March next
1t is expected that it will be Of the grandest af-
fairs witnessed in Washington, and thousands
will he in attendance tp witness it. Mr.. Buchanan
will reach here it is said, about the last of January
where he will have better facilities for consummati
the prcminaries necessary for taking his seat than
he woflld elsewhere.
Miss Fanny Morant, the accomplished and talented
hagcdicnne, has uSt eommencedan engagement at the
National She has made fnc impression, and PROM
iscs 10 become quite a fayoriic with the metropo =
tans. She is certainly actress Of superior nb-
ties, and will no doubt attain to considerable emf
ncncc in her profession. There is probably rather
more rant lno pun intended) about her acting than
accuracy ofrepresentation demands.
Tomorrow, New Years day is the grandest time
of al the year in Washington-being one of tetes
festivals and reiocing5. After participating in its
enjoyment | will endeavor to tell you all about it.
