VENrILATIoN.-In stormy weather the wind
invariably drives through stove pipes in hou-

To take these into the lungs must at least in
some degree prove injurious to the system.
Ventilation at such times is therefore highly
important, and should by no means be over
looked. While the atmosphere in your rooms
is warm let it be pure and healthy, and the
blood which is in great measure Influenced

tenn. Let not SO important particular be

WASHINGTON, Saturday, May A, 1861.
From the President to the lowest official, all
are busy with preparations for the approach
ing movement. Special agents are dispatch
ed from all the organizing departments to the
several Navy Yards and army pusts, who are
directed forthwith and speedily to place all
things in perfect order.
The President has determined upon active,
instant, decisive, and comprehensive action.
The time has arrived when, in accordance with
the doctrine announced in his Inaugural, the
President will proceed 70 repossess the pro-
perty of the United States.
Seventy thousand volunteers, twenty five
thousand regulars, and eighteen thousand na-

UASh1NuTOhi mug D.
The Navy Department is in receipt of alet-
ter from Commodore Goldsboro of the United
States steamer Union, dated Hampton Roads,
yesterday, in which he says that the vessel
seen near Cape Hatteras, about which tdere
was so much speculation, proved to be the B.
F. Martin of Boston, which had been in pos.
session Of the rebels.
II appears by other official edvices from
the guilt squadron, that on the 4th of July,
off Galveston, the United States steamer
South Carolina captured six schooncrs, on
the 9th two, and ran one ashore, and on the
9TH one, making in all ton destroyed or
captured.
Ths names of the captured vessels are -
The Shark, Venus, Ann Ryan, McGanfeld,
Louisa Dart, Corallia, Falcon, Geo Baker
ana Sam Houston. A portion of them had
cargoes, chiefly lumber.
c-nong other things captured were thir-
Geen nnaif bsgs a1Itl -tlliFsy hsgs aaRtaiR-
ing express matter.
On the 9TH of July, off st. Marks, Florida,
the Mohawk captured the sloop Geo. B.
Sloat in attempting to run the blockade.
There were as passengers on board, the wife,
three children and servants Of Adjutant
General Holland, of Florida. Mrs Holland
claimed the secession flag to be private prop
erty, and secured it to her person. As the
Captain could not obtain possession Of it
without using violence to lady who was in
delicate situation, be desisted frem taking
the prize.
Mr.. McClernard's app linment as Brigadier
General is very gratifying to the friends of
that gentleman.
The Navy Department will at once issue
proposals in connection with the construc-
tion of the twelve side wheel steamers and
one or more iron clad vessels recently au-
thorized BY Congress.
