cent monument of the wealth and greatness Of the
Federal Government, departed forever. A few
days ago your correspondent in company with DR..
Beard and Capt. Anderson, made the tour of the
Navy Yard, and it proved to be the most fatiguing
but satisfactory OF tours that one can imagine
The inignfcance Of the damage inflicted by the
Illinois Baboon's vandas upon this extensive and
well supplied yard in comparison with the ya3t
amount of property and warlikc material left un-
touched, is the first feature that strikes the visitor
On entering the gateway the hlackcned ruins of a
row OF Dtck buildings, forming a portion of the
wall, the burning Of which had set fire to and dc.
StrOycd several dwellings across the street outside
the yard iir8t meet the eye, Directly before MS as
We entered were the ruins Of number Of long
workshops, Of Which nothing remained but the
IRON aud steel of the machinery twisted into all
SoFts ol shapes and blaCkened by the intense heat
Beyond the burning OF the ships and the sinking of
nearly all the heavy cannon, this was all the dam
age inflicted, the destroying angels having been
driven of in panic by the snOrting of a i0como-
tive and the shouts of q crowd of unarTncd
CitiHCn7. Their attempt to blow un the dry-dock
by placing powder in one of the vaults Of the vast
reservoir was defeated by the b0ldnees OF these

earthquake explosion. Many Of the guns have
been already unspiked, and the marks Of powerful
acid upon the others showed that they were being
attended to and would soon be as good as ever.

DEATH or JonN PunNlX-We have been look

MIA, years ago, he electrified the reading public by
rare specimens Of genuine wit and humor, and It
sarcasm which was as gentle as it was keen and
just. For a year or more we had one continual
Stream of bright things from his PEN and few per-
sons achieved higher place, in his peculiar line
of literature and thought, than - John Phoenix. ,
Capt. Chen Lieut) Derby was stationed for several
wears in California and while there devoted him
self almost exclusively to his profession. He was
married there to a lady of this city-then on a

One evening during the latter part of last week,
party of boys, for the sake OF sport, rolled some
logs to a rising knoll, on the Virginia side Of the
canal, near the Aqueduct, ranging them as cannon,
with the muzGles pointing towards Georgetown
College, and went through the operation OF loading
them. Instantly, numerous sp?-glasses were Ieyeled
at the spot, and the quaking Republicans declared
the logs to be no other than real instruments of
death in consequence Of which messenger was
quickly dispatched TO headquarters with the infor-

the purpose Of bomharding the heiguts of George
