Why is IT So?-An exchange paper
says: Fasten a nail or key to a string, And
suspend it from your thumb and finger
and the nail will oscillate like pendu
dulum. Let some on. pace his open
hand under the nail, and it will change tc
circular motion. Then let third per
son put his hand on your shoulder, and
the nail becomes in moment stationary.

From Washington.

, "Ion," the Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun, wrises under date of the l7th, as
follows:
Some few of the Union journals commend to the
attention of the coming Congress the interests of
peace, and this suggestion is promptly denounced
as "neXt door to treason There is not, how
ever the least foundation for any fear that the in
terests of peace will find a single advocate among
the Representatives from the Northern States,
with the exception possibly of California. That
State, remote from the scene of civil strife and
having no enmity to either of the parties engaged
in it, may interpOse at least some measures for
cOnCatlOn.
But the war spirit, which has arisen in all the
Northern States this side of the Rocky Mountains,
wn prevail unchecked, in July, and Congress will
act act under its influence A leading Administration
paper says that Congress, meeting on the 4th OF
July, ought to terminate the session on the 18th
that they are not called to enter into general legs
lation, but to supply the omissions in ther legsla,
ton of the last session. Money, men and laws, for
the punishment of treason, are to be called for.
The report that the Government has purchased
large supply of improved arms in Europe IS fully
confirmed portion of these have arrived IN New
| York and more, to an indefinite number, are eX
| pected. 1t is also expected that large numbe
| of Mimic rifles can be procured in Canada.
Congress will no doubt second the efforts OF tht
| Government for the rapid augmentation OF th
navy No difficulty is found in obtaining seamen
| but an effective blockade of two Thousand miles o
| sea coast cannot be maintained without yer,
| large addition to the number of our vessels of war
| The policy of Withdrawing from foreign service al

Can't Larose's fine Third District company has
gone into quarters at the Lower Cotton Press.
They went there on Thursday evening. They were
abundantly supplied with all kinds of excellent
provisions and camp articles, the free contribu-
tions of grocers and others in that end of the city
One grocer, Mr.. Schmidt, of Schmidt & zeiger,
Old Levee street, did thing that grocers are not
in the habit of doing. Besides contributing hand
somely to the company, he gave an order book to
one Of the privates to give to his family, for them
to get everything wanted at his store all the time
the private might be absent, (the company is in
for the war) he to pay on his return if he felt like
it, and if he should not return, or should return
and not be able to pay, it would be all the same.
This is tantamount to the support of whole fam
lily, with which the grocer has no acquaintance.
Tie Rifles are soon to be mustered in. a few
more good recruits will be received into the com;
pany, upon application to Capt. Larose, at the
Cotton Press.
