Correspondence of the Locomotive
Washington Ramblings.
WASHINGTON, March %, 1857.

DEAR Loco:--Now that the noise and
confusion Of the Inauguration have
somewhat subsidized, and the four buzzing
of the four year locusts +" is going away.
it will not be unnteresting to your readers,
perhaps, to take running glance at Wash
ington as city.
Although the federal metropolis enjoys
none Of the advantages in trade which are
common to our great cities. it is not the
less place Of interest to every American.
Indeed, its sequestration and freedom from
business commotion is rather an auxiliary
to Its national attraction 1t is said to have
been a favorite idea with Washington, that
the national Capital should be as far dis
taDt as possible from the commercial en-
poriums of the country, in order not to be
affected or attainted by commercial corrup
ton. The developments of the last Con-
gress have attested the wisdom of the
thought.
But this aside. Taking advantage of the
fine weather, yesterday visited many of
the prominent curiosities Of Washington.
An hour of inexpressible delight was pass
ed in stroll through the splendid gallery
of paintings and statuary collected by Cor
coran. wealthy banker of the place, who
is liberal patron of the fine arts. Among
his collection, the most interesting to me
was rare painting. representing the birth
of the Saviour, which seemed so life-like
that could almost imagine myself stand
ing in the lowly manger, Witnessing the
sublime spectacle which brought wise
men from the east t" to pay their devotions,
and caused ga multitude Of the heavenly
host " to raise their voices in one grand
anthem to Omnipotent Goodness and Wis
dom. Glory to God in the highest, and
and on earth peace, good will toward men"
Such a painting could not be otherwise
than interesting. The subject being one
calculated to arouse all the fire of genius,
and to enlist the loftiest impulses of an
artists soul. every stroke of his brush
would cypress an emotion, and trace upon

A PETRIFlED HUMAN BoDY.--Some years
since, says the Elmira Advertiser. Viii
ting Sayre, gentleman extensively en-
gagged in the lumber business in that
place, and highly respected by large
circle of acquaintances, went on visit to
a couple of sons near Milwaukee, Wis
consln, but shortly after arriving there, he
was taken ill, died and was buried in one
of the graveyards of that city. A few
weeks since, OH account of road to be
opened through the ground where the re-
mains were deposited, it was determined to
disinter them for burial elsewhere. On
removing the earth from his coffin, (Which
was considerable y decayed,) it was found
that Mr.. Sayre's body was in as good a
state of preservation as when Inferred
Ii was taken from the grave, and examined
by large number of people. The general
opinion was that the petrifaction had been
accustomed by some action of the soil; but
when the remains of others, in adjoining
graves were taken up, they were found to
be almost entirely decomposed. Every
feature of Mr. Sayre's face was perfectly
preserved, and the whole body was as hard
as tho hardest stone. This is remarka-
ble case, and will give rise to some specu-
lation among the scientific and curious.

charged as being the tool of Jackson, and
the cause of the removal of the deposits
from the United States Bank, Gan opinion
fully sustained by the subsequent corrup-
ton and rottenness of that concern, and,
therefore, when afterward called upon to
accept the control of said deposit, and
carry out his ocn judgment, honor and
consistency alone required his consent.
His course has always been thus unim
peachable, and Henry Clay himself, in his
highest partzan excitement. never dared
to impugn the honesty and purity of the
motives of the noble old Democratic JUS
tice. But he is charged with being the
advocate of slavery and It's propagandism,
and that only because of his acting in ac
cordance with his oath, and expounding
the constitution by its true letter and spir-
it. Let the decision speak for itself; but
Mr.. Taney personally is opposed to slave
ry, in principle and practice. Forty years
ago, although never wealthy, he freed eve
ry negro in his possession, and has paid
servant wages ever since. They were all
valuable, and one, his body servant, has
been the head waiter of the largest hotel
in Baltimore for many years.
Judge Taney has always been the huest
friend of the black man, and it is related
by cotemporary that the most eloquent
speech he ever made was at the Frederick
county bar, in defence of little negro
girl, in which he thrilled his auditors by
exalting the happy construction of our
courts and the justice of our laws in al
lowing the business of the circuit to be
stopped, in order to give that poor little
negro her rights and her lawful protection.
And, although the little creature had most
likely committed crime, Mr.. Taney's elo
9uent appeal rescued her from the ven
geance of the law. Thus have all his acts,
public and private, been characterized by
justice and generosity.
have nothing to say of the Supreme
Court decision 1t has astonished many,
although its principles laqe been boldly
avowed by many Independent Democrats
for years. 1t speaks for itself, and its le
gality none can dispute. But let me say
one word to old Wing Republicans. When
you are holding up your hands in horror
at the law of the land. starting with fright
at the Supreme Courts decree, and coun-
selling anarchy and resistance, just remem
Der your position few years ago, when
Democratic Presidents veto nullifed the
dictum of the same court upon the bank
question. That opposition was only the
oretical aud was warranted by subsequent
developments, while yours is practical and
can have no such warrant Remember
that your agony and horror were all on the
other side.then. BE consistent-take down
your hands-dry up and be quiet.-Cm

Reminiscen ces.

I remember well the time, VIII,
When YOU and l first met;
The happy hours we then enjoyed,
| never can forget.
Those days of Joy and bliss have fed,
Gone are our childhoods joys,
Friends have departed whom we loved,
When YOU and l were boys.
| remember well the brook, Will,
Upon whose banks so fair
We've roamed for hours, and plucked the
Which bloomed so sweetly there; FLOWERS
The brook has long since died away,
flushed is its rippling noise,
Which we have listened to so oft
When YOU and l were boys.
l remember well the school, Will,
The master, too, SO grim,
And how when he would turn his back,
We twain would mimic him.
The school-room is deserted now,
flushed is the hum and noise,
Which we were oft so wont to hear
When you and / were boys.
We have been long time parted, Will,
Seas roll 'twix thee and me;
And |, perchance upon this earth,
Thy form may never see.
But wheresoe'er you chance to roam,
Mid all your and joys
Let memory wander to the spot
Where you and | were boys.

gus of the Roman Emperor, Alexander
Seyerus, procured at Beyroot. in Syria, by
Com. Elliott, and offered by him to Andrew
Jackson, as the resting place of the war
rior, statesman and hero--President Of a
great and grateful Republic The reply of
jackson to Com. Elliott is placed in frame
and suspended over the sarcophagus.
Pencilled down the following extract, the
simplicity and true republicanism of which
is prouder monument to his fame, than
the colossal trappings of stone ever were
to the Roman Emperor. Said the sage of
Hermitage, 81 cannot consent that my
mortal body shall be laid in a repository
prepared for an Emperor or King. My
Republican feelings forbid 1t J; tile simplici-
ty OF oar government JOrbids It," This no.
BILE sentiment is worthy of the immortal
sonrce from whence it came, and while it
adds glory to the integrity of the Ameri
can character, it must inspire increased ad-
miration for the name and memory of Old
Hickory.
| have not space to particularize further
my observations in the National gallery
Many places of interest, such as the Smith
sonian Institute, the Washington Monu
ment, Jackson Square, the White House
and the Presidents Grounds, must also go
unnoticed at present.
The Government Buildings are also OBJ
]ects Of much attraction, and the improve
ments to them now going on will when
completed, add greatly to the appearance of
the city, as well as to the comfort of the
government officials. The new wings and
new dome to the Capitol are progressing
slowly. 1t is thought that the next Con-
gress will meet in the new chambers set
apart for the two respective bodies. The
Capitol, when finished, will be one Of the
most imposing buildings in the world.
Though there was considerable out-cry
against the appropriation for the erection
of the new wings, they are necessities
which were absolutely demanded. And
so Of the additions which have been made
to the Patent Office, and are being made to
the Treasury and General Post Office build
ings. The appropriations were not made
an hour too soon. The rapid growth OF the
country, and the expansion of its official
business in every department, rendered alb
solutely necessary an enlargement of the
public buildings. In passing through the
various departments, I have noticed that
the clerks are frequently crowded together
to the number of six, seven, eight and Ten,
in single small room, so that healthy res
piration. in some instances, seemed almost
out of the question. The new wings to
the different buildings will remove this
officially to great extent, and while rem
dering the employees of the government
comfortable, Will facilitate the execution of
the public work.
There are many other matters of interest
which suggest themselves, but the length
of my letter already admonishes me that l
must close. More anon. SIGMA.

The Hope that Breathes of Spring

Leaf by leaf the roses fall:
Drop by drop the spring runs dry,
One by one, beyond recall,
Summer beauties fade and die;
But the rose will bloom again,
And the Spring will gush anew
In the pleasant April rain,
And the Summers sun and dew.
So in hours of deepest gloom,
When the springs of gladness fail,
And the roses in their bloom,
Droop like maidens wan and pale
We shall find some hope that lies
Like silent gem apart,
Hidden from the careless eyes,
In the garden of the heart.
Some sweet heart TO gladness wed,
That will spring to life anew,
When grieTs winters shall have fled,
Giving place to sun and dew.
Some sweet breath that breathes fSprlng,
Through the weary time,
Budding for its blossoming
In the silent spirits CLINE.

EXPLODED ERRoRs--The rings in the
grain of wood--usually denominaied "an-
nual'' rings, SO undisputed has been the
"well-known fact" that one of them is
formed yearly-are now claimed to be no
criterion of the age of the tree. Joshua
Howard, of Maryland, says the rings are
not of animal growth, but are formed, one
at every full moon in the growing season,
and varying with the length of the sum
mer. This fact he claims to have tested
by numerous experiments, made by fell
ing young trees, the age of which he
knew. In Maryland, five rings form annu-
ally. The great age of certain trees in
California and else where, determined by
these rings, IS thus brought into dispute
1t is singular, if the common belief is an
error, that it has so long remained one.
