Ma. EDITOR We arrived here safe and
sound last Monday and are quartered very
comfortably, considering the number of SOL
diers here. The only thing 1 mind is the
way they put fellow on guard. You 60
on guard at half past six and do not come off
until six next morning. Sometimes you are
stationed mile from town away up on a
hill, and tell you it is lonesome. l have
been on guard nearly all the time | have
been here, and l begin to feel very tired and
worn out with the business.
There is now in the place about $500 SOL
ders, all sizes and shapes, and they certain
ly do make beautiful show W hen there is a
dress parade, which is three times week.
You would be amused to see some of the coun.
try soldiers here, bow-legged, bandy-shanked
nearly three yards long, and the way they
can handle them is a sin to Moses. Each
man here is provided with Sharp's Rife
or some other kind Of rife, Bowie Knife, land
Revolver, and they know how to use them.
The Abolit ionists would make poor show
if they made an attack on us, thi NIX.
Old Brown was hung to-day about twelve
O'Clock. de made no speech, only saying
he was willing to die in the cause he had uR-
dertaken. Before leaving the Jail he re9ues-
ted to see Captain Cook and the rest sof the
prisoners. He told Cook he was cowaraly
treacherous man, and he hoped to God he
would repent before he went to the gallows.
He appeared perfectly calm, and requested
the hangman TO make all haste as he did not
wish to stand there and be gazed at. His
wife was up to see him last night and reques-
ted that she might have his body, which was
granted. 1t was sent to Harper's Ferry last
night in charge of company OF Dragons
and delivered to her.
Everything is quiet here at present, but |
do not know how long it will remain SO. l
do not think we will get away before the
goth, at least, that is the impression here, as
| most all of the last soldiers that come here
are ordered to remain until after the exeeu-
ton. TOM.

The WINANs STEAMER.-This singular
looking vessel attracted the attention of a
large number of persons 20 the City wharf,
yesterday, many of whom went on board
and examined for themselves, until the
crowd which covered the whole wharf aud
several piles of timber, became so dense that
Captain Vaughn bsgan to see the impossi-
bility of letting all come on board, and was
compelled to put stop to it. Meanwhile
the crowd continued to collect, until there
were several thousand persons around anx-
iously waiting to see the "thing many
of them called it-move off. This she did
do between ten and eleven o'clock, and was
run down to Old Point and back in one hour
and forty minutes.
We understand that she was not put to
her speed, bat the object was to try her in
rough weather. We profess to know very
little about nautical matters, therefore our
opinion ia not worth much in this case, but
cur observations are possibly worth as much
as any ones, as far as they 60. We observed
that she moved steadier than any steamer we
had ever travelled on before. We, also no.
tced that she went along with a little more
speed than any other craft that had ever Ia
ken us to Old Point; and such was the gen
eral observations of all on board, among
whom were some half dozen ladies, who ex-
hibited no little heroism in being willing to
be the first to trust themselves in go singular
a looking craft.
She is the most deceptive looking craft
we have ever seen. To stand on the outside
and look at her one would hardly think that
there was room to stand up in her, but
when you go down the steps and enter her
spacious saloons you are surprised to find,
not only plenty OF room to sleep, but spa
cious saloon where every provision is made
to seat twenty persons at the table. Another
fact which does not strike the careless OBJ
server is that there is as much room below
the cabin floor az there ia abjge it, all of
which is occupied with the boilers, coal,
ballast, &c.
She has gone on another trip to-day and
will return again this evening.

FIREMEN AND TAXATION are advised
of the intention of the Independent Fire
Company to make app LEGATION to the City
Council for exemption from city taxation.
At the first blush this may meet with oppo-
sition, but when it is remembered that our
statute law limits the number of members
receivable into each fire company, we hope
opposition to this proposed measure of re-
lief may vanish. Its reduction of the public
revenue will be altogether inconsider bile
and it is due to fremen that the city should,
in some form, testify its appreciation of their
services. The State Legislature has express
ed itself favorable to such fostering care of
the Fire Department by providing, in many
instances, for exemp:ding those who compose

A BANQUET TO Mr.. THOMAS WINANs
this city had sumptuous dihner prepared
at the Atlantic Hotel last evening, which
was given in honor of Mr.. Thos. Winans and
his party, from the Monumental City. DR..
j. j. Simkins, the Collector of the Customs,
took the head OF the table, with Mr.. Ross
Wiaans on bis right, and Mr.. Henry Irwin
took the foot of the table, with Mr.. Thomas
Winans on his left. Captain H. Vaughan,
who has command of the Winans' steamer,
together with the younger Messrs. Winans'
and Mr.. Hambleton, occupied various posi-
tions around the board.
The company was small and select, and
was really the most genial and jovial party
who ever set their feet under mahogany to-
gether. After the solids had been thorough
ly discussed. and the tdrripin steD had been
flashed, the fluids received the attention ne
cessary on the occasion. Toasts, sentiments
and speeches were offered by the Messrs.
Winans, DR.. Simpkins, j. B. Whitehead, l..

THE DRAMA.-We are in position to
state, that the New Opera House will, before
long, once more be opened for the presenta-
| ton of the Drama. 1t has just closed upon
a season, which was not lingering sweetness
long drawn out but series of unhappily
careless exhibitions of a wretched school of
amusements. The lovers OF Dramatic pleas
ures are numerous and influential enough,
no only to support, but to yield profit to a
manager, who so thoroughly understands
his business as to believe that the public,
which supports him, is the first to whom b e
should defer, by the judicious rendering of a
high order OF Dramatic Literature; .having
always in view too, that the patronage rea-
dy to be ex tended, is only for effort to amuse
by complete attention to business, governed
by, know ledge of the stage. Such gentle
man, we are pleased to say, contemplates
short season with an excellent company, and
we do not fear to prophecy that if he does,
he will succeed. OF the particulars our
readers shall be early informed. We have
great pleasure in making this announce
ment as we think the manager to whom we
allude, will, with the tact of man of bust
ness, offer US superior class of amusements.
FRESH AIR Give your children plenty of
fresh air. Let them snuff it until it sends
the rosy current of life dancing joyfully to
their temples. Air is so cheap and is good,
and so necessary withal, that every child
should have free access to it. Horace Mann
beautifully says: "To put children on
short allowance of fresh air, is as foolish as
it would have been for Noah, during the re-
fuge, to have put his family on short al
lowance of water. Since God has poured
out an atmosphere fifty miles deep, it is
enough to make miser weep to see cur
children tainted in breath"
