From Washington.
WASHINGTON March Il

WASHINGTON, March IL, 1857.
A. w. Anstin has been appointed collec-
tor of Boston, vice Peaslee. The friends of
Holland were very sanguine to the last mo-
ment, and even now cannot admit his de-
feat.
Watson Freeman has been re-appointed
Uuited States Marshal for the District of
Massachusetts,, and Charles L. Woodbury.,
United States Attorney for Massachusetts,,
vice Hallett.
1t is said that Fletcher Webster, Survey
or of the port of Boston, and B. Green, Ma
val Officer, will be re-appointed.
The pressure on the President from New
York, Philadelphia and Boston, has been so
severe as to nearly PROSTATE him, as he has
admitted to his friends. .. t ..
The Philadelphia appointments are still
unsettled, and there have been fresh arrivals
of politicians from that city to-day on busi-
ness connected with the subject.
It.. is rumored here that Mr.. Forsyth,
our Minister to Mexico, will shortly be re-
called. Fs t. 4v q
Advices from Florida state that our troops
there are engaged in active operations against
the Indians.
General Harney's whole force being en-
gagged, Major Pemberton's command, con-
sisting of Companies E, F and X, has re-
turned to Fort Dallas in starving condition,
having lost their way and being obliged to
live on horse flesh .af.rilsi.
The corporate authorities of Washington
paid formal visit of respect to the Presi-
dent this afternoon, and were introduced to
him by the Mayor.
The President said that be had resided in
Washington many years, was partial to it,
and had never received anything but kind
ness from its citizens. If Providence spared
his life he hoped to continue to live with
them on terms of harmony and good will.
WASHINGTON, March 49,
VIM. Price has been appointed Postmas-
ter of Chicago, vice Cook, whose commission
expires soon. .o 4,se -
The Board of Health have arrived at the
conclusion that the sickness at the National

about the establishment. opiH-d 81

The Washington Rat CatastrOphe-.-An. n.
mother Victim.

1t was hoped, when week or two ago
we informed our readers of the extraordlna-
ry rumor regarding the rat poisoning case at
the National Hotel in Washington, no furth-
er developments would manifest themselves
beyond the sickness of the guests who had
partaken freely of the water provided for
their use; but the Cleveland Plaindealer
subsequently informed us that Mr.. Lennox
from the State tf Ohio, who had been So
journing at Washington, and who was a
guest at the National Hotel at the time
the excitement was caused by so much
sickness, "was taken sick, and died on the
way home"
In our columns of yesterday, there was
notice of the death of the wife of re-
spectacle citizen of New York, who. it is
rumored died victim to sickness caused bv
drinking water drawn from the tank of the
National Hotel.
At first the cause of the lady's death was
supposed to be inflammation of the lungs, but
this was superseded by the result of a post
mortem examination, which, it was said,
was conducted by four of the ablest
phy ysicians in the city. The statement made
to our reporter was the following: "That
the stomach was ascert ertained to have been
partially eaten away; the bowels manifested
symptoms of violent inflammation; the lungs
were congested and the kidneys severely af-
fected." IN. 7. Tribune, la9is-

There came three students over the Rhine
Dame Werter's house they entered in;
Dame Werter, hast thou good beer and wine;
And where's that lovely daughter of thne?'
MY beer and wine are fresh and clear
My daughter is lying cold on her bier,'
They stepped within the chamber of rest,
Where shrined lay the maiden in black robes dressed
The first he drew from her face the veil;
'Ah! vert thou alive, thou maiden SO pale,'
He said, as he gazed with saddened brow,
How dearly, would love thee now
The second, he covered the face anew,
And weeping, he turned aside from the view.
'Ah me, that thou lest on the cold bier,
The one have loved for SO many a yearn
The third once more uplifted the veil,
~ He hissTcd 'he iil~ 50 deadly pale;
thee loved ere~, still love thee,
And thee will l love through eternity
And that kiss-that kiss-wth Promethean flame
Thrilled with new life the quivering frame;
And the maid uprose and stood by his side,
That students own loved and loving bride

The constituents Of the several members
who voted for the removal of the Capital,
continue, in most every paper we receive
from different parts of the Territory, to call
their unfaithful public servants to account.
The following which we find in the Hender-
son Democrat, comes fir, IN Mankato, town
in the immediate neighborhood of the pro-
posed Capital:
MANKATo, March II, 1857.
Mr.. SToEvER In an article dated St.
Paul March 4, from the pen of Mr.. Baasen,
and published in your paper Of March II,
Mr.. Baasen makes the following statements,
viz:-That he was not one of the prime NOV
ers for the act to remove the Capital, heard of
it only short time before it was introduced
into the Council, and that he then immedi-
ately COMMUNICATED with his constituency,
and received letters and instructions from
nearly every section to lend his support to
that movement.
Will Mr. Baasen answer the following
questions, through the Henderson Demo-
crat:
l. Was there any person in Blue Earth
county who instructed you to vote for the
removal of the Capital, by letter or other
wise ?
2. If so, who were the person or per-
sons? -l.
3. Please state whether the instructions
were by petition, letter, or rioa voce.
hope Mr.. Baasen will not think I am at
tributing improper motives, or cherish ill
feeling, on account Of his efforts to remove
the Capital, but knowing of no one in the
county who favors Cat the present time) the
removal of the Capital, ask him the above
questions. Many of Mr.. Baasen's constitu-
ents and warm friends desire to know from
whom in Blue Earth county he got his in
structions. P. K. JOHNSON.

t /. almost too wicked to parodise 80 beautiful poe

SO rich that it must go in j
IT'S dozen or of years ago,
Somewhere I'm the West countree,
That nice girl lived, as the Hoosiers know,
By the name of Deborah Lee;
Her sister was loved by Edgar Poe,
But Deborah by me-
Now was green and she green
As a summer squash might be;
But we loved as warm as other folks,
and my Deborah Lee,
With love that the lasSeS of Hoosierdom
Coveted her and me.
But somehow it happened long ago,
In the aguish West countree,
That the chill March morning gave the shakes
To my beautiful Deborah Lee;
And the grim Steam Doctor Course him) came,
And bore her away from me;
The boctor and Death old partners they5>-
In the asuish est countree.
The angels wanted her up in heaven,
But they never asked for me y
And that is the reason, l rather guess,
In the agush West countree,
That the cold March wind and the Doctor and Death
Took of my Deborah Lee,
My beautiful Deborah Lee,
From the warm sunshine and the opening flowers,
And hid her away from me.
Our love was as strong as a six.horse team,
Or the love of folks older than We,
And possibly wiser than We;
But Death, with the aid of the Doctor and steam,
Was rather too many for me
So he closed the peppers and stopped the breath
or my sweetheart, Deborah Lee
And her form lies cold in the prairie mould
Silent and cold-ah me
The foot of the hunter shall press her grave
4 And the prarie's sweet wild flowers
In their odorous beauty around it wave,
Through all the summer hours,
1 The still bright summer hours
{And birds shall sing in the tufted grass,
u And the nectar-laden bee,
with his dreamy hum on his gauze wings pass
She wakes more to me !
All, never more to me
Tho the wild birds sing, and the wild flowers spring,
She wakes no more to me
Yet oft in the hush of the dim still night,
vision Of beauty see,
Gliding soft to my bedside, phantom of light
Dear, beautiful Deborah Lee,
My bride that to be;
And wake to mourn that the Doctor and Death,
And the cold March wind, should stop the breath
or my darling Deborah Lee,
Adorable Deborah Lee;
That the angels should want her up in heaven
Before they wanted me
