From Az Occasional Correspondent.


BOsToN, March 9, ls5S.
The Kalendar tells US that Winter is over; but,
Judging from what see before Inc, if lf my
eyes from my paper, should say that the Kalendar
lies. The trees in the Garden Of Graves, behind
the Athenaum, where am writing are feathered
10 their EXTREMIST tips with the purest of snow;
the old gaye-stones are capped with downy
whiteness, and the monuments look like the tur-
baned pillars in poor Zuleikas place of thousand
tombs" 1t is, altogether, the most charming
Winter scene we have had this season; and the old
trees on the Common looked as passed by to-day,
like an enchanted grove subject to other laws than
those of growth and greenness. But, on the
other hand the skating is no more. The ponds and
rivers have folded themselves within their ermne
mantles, and bid the thronglng thousands that used
to haunt them so cheerlly TO keep their distance.
'Ts pity that SO graceful aud lnygorating an ex-
ercise. in which Young men and msdens have Joined
with such cordslity and advantage, should come to
An end so soon. But, as the institution of pro
miscuous ekating' has become a recognized one I

three weeks ago, at the time OF the flying visit paid
BY, Gen. Cushing 10 Washington, which has been

MEssRs. DEMONSTRATING morning walk recent
ly, We were surprised and gra,ified to see many
evidences of enterprise and industry in the Western
Ward Of our City. We were particularly attracted
by the very handsome house, now nearly completed,
planned and built by Of our most enterprising
citizens, Dabney Cosby, Esq Rather than have
his hands remain idle, Mr.. Cosby put up this dwell
ling and improved his lot There is half acre of
ground attached, well of excellent water, so ar
ranged that water be conducted to all parts of
the house; and the house itself is built Of brick,
with eight rooms with fire-places dressing closets,
&C., and everything most conveniently arranged
1t is situated in the rear of Nj. Cosby's residence,
and is near the Presbyterian Parsonage. The stuc-
Going of the building is of superior and durable
order, Mr.. Cosby being the best workman in that
line in the whole country. l learned that the place
was for sale, and was almost inclined to envy the
one who should be the purchaser. Call and see it.

The ARsENAL-In the Senate proceedings of
Thursday last, we find the following:-
On motion by Mr.. Biggs,
RESOLVED, That the Secretary of War be requested
to communicate to the Senate the present condition
of the United States Arsenal at Fayetteville North
Carolina, and whether the building, shops, and ma
chinery are sufficiently completed for the construc
ton of material and munitions of war, and what
appropriation, if any, is necessary to put the same
in operation arsenal of construction upon the
original plan adopted by Congress.
We are glad to see this movement.
In walk through the very extensive Arsenal
buildings few days ago, we saw vast quantity OF
machinery lately purchased by Major Laidley under
the act of the last Congress. Workmen were busl-
ly engagedn putting it up Among the articles are
some not heretofore known in this part of the coun-

az We learn that at the late examination of
candidates for appointments Of physicians and sur.
geons to Bellevue Hospital, New York, DR.. Stuart
White, of this city, was appointed as surgeon and
Dr. Jno j. Jones, of Greene Co., N. c., as physician.
These young gentlemen, we learn, were the only
candidates from the South who were successful in
their examinations. The position they have won is
always eagerly sought, and is justly regarded as
high evidence of proficiency in the profession. The
mere announcement of their success, which we
make with pleasure carries with it the most crafty
ing commentator. They are North Carolnians,
and we are always glad to see the sons of the old
State foremost in the race for distinction.
