Washington City and Its Position {.

Washington City is situated on the left bank
Of the Potomac river, between two small tribu-
taries; the one on the east called the East
branch, and the one on the west called Rock
river. The latter separates 1t from George
town. The general altitude Of the city plot ia
40 feet above the river, but 1t is diversified by
irregular elevations, which are taken advantage
Of in the location Of the different public build
ings. The plot is somewhat In the form of an
amphitheatre, the Presidents House on the
west standing on one Of the sides, and the Capt.
tol on the other These two buildings, about
one mile apart, are situated in about the centre
Of the whole. The former is elevated "a feet
above the Potomac, and the latter ~ feet -
The summit Of the hill on which the Capitol
stands Is the commencement Of plain stretch
ing to the east while that to the north of the
Preeidents House tends westward. These to-
biographical peculiari les give great advantages
for the defence of the city. The city plot ex-
tends AZ miles In q N. w. and s E., and about
2b miles in N. E. and 8. w. direction, and
covers an area of nearly eleven square miles.
The resident population is about 90 5,OOO-With
GeorgetDwn, 65, 900 iTE
The only means Of communication between
the city and the opposite shore of Virginia is
by the long bridge. This approach is guarded
all the time by between three and FIVE hundred
men, capable Of repelling any attempt of the
enemy to cross the Potomac at that roint. :.
These troops consist Of infantry, artillery and
cavalry. ail H.rr rs. ss-

SECESSION without Precedent in History.

DR.. Francis sLieber's two, lectures on the
|"Constitution of the United States" recently
deliveredf In the school Of Columbia College,
have Just BEEN publibhed-the same pamphlet
containing an addfee ON Secession, written for
Ia Fourth Of July celebration, at Greenville, s.
C., in 1851. Inthis address an able argument
10 given against the right of secession, and ad
duces the following historical instances;
Now. + have taken the pains Of examining
all confedefacies Of which we have any knowl
edge. In none Of the many Greek confedera-
cies did the right of secession exist, so far as
we can trace their fundamental principles. In
some rare cases an unfaithful member may have
been expelled. But In the most important OF
these confederacies, and in that which received
the most complete organization, resembling, In
many points. our own-in the Ach@an League,
there existed no right of secession, and this is
proved 0y the following case: When the Ro-
mans had obtained the supremacy over Hellas,
and Greece was little more than a province of
Roms, the E.olisns respectfully waited upon
the Roman commissioner, Gallus, TO solicit per-
mission to secede from the League. He sent
them to the Senate. and the seeessonists OBJ
tanned at Rome the permission to withdraw
no "leading case" suppose, for Americans,
The Amphictyonic Council allowed Of no
Secession. IL was Pan Hellenic, and never
meant to be.otherwise. The medieval leagues
of the Lombard cities, of the SWabian cities,
permitted no spontaneous withdrawal; but the
