Topography of the Seat of War.

The Washington correspondent of the New
York Post thus describes the topography be-
tween the Potomac River and Manassas Gap
junction, which seems destined to become the
theatre Of important military events
4" From the Chain Bridge, which is three
miles above Georgetown, to Alexandria, dis
lance of about ten mies-there is a continuous
chain of hills half mile to u mile and a half
back from the Potomac. Entertainments are
thrown up quite distance north of Georgetown
across the river, and so at different points be-
low to Alexandria. The Chain Bridge, Aque-
duct, and especially the Long Bridge are very
strongly guarded, and every prominent hill Is,
or soon will be extended.
Arlington Nights are right opposite George
town, nearly two miles back from the river.
Reaches Spring, which is frequently spoken of
,, is about two miles distant, southwest of the
Long Bridge, a little off from the road to Fair
fax Court House. Arlington House is about
five miles north or northeast Of Alexandria.
Falls Church is little northern village six
miles straight west of Georgetown. Bailey's
Cross Roads is five miles due west of this Long
| Bridge, and the road from the bridge, which
leads directly past Bailey's, is the road to
| Fairfax Court House. The last named place
is eighteen miles from Washington and four
| teen from Alexandria. This was the scene of
Lieutenant Tompkins exploit last Friday NOR
ming and he was then about thirteen miles
distant from the main body of the rebel regi-
ments are stationed.
From the Potomac to the heights, west, the
ascent is somewhat abrupt; but from the
heights westward it is very gradual. At least
ten miles of the Loudon and Hampshire Rail.
road is within our lines, but the Orange and
Alexandria road is none of it in our possession.
Our troops tore up the track to Springfield
station, nine miles distant from Alexandria
Beyond this point the road is in good condition,
and it is reported that the trains occasionally
even run from the junction as far as Springfield
station"

Baltimore.

The Mob City evidently needs more punish
ing. The late accounts again place her in a
very questionable attitude. The hoofs and
horns of Secession are every day sticking out
more and more palpably to view. All the
Union members of the city police have been re-
moved, or in some way got rid of by the
plotting traitors that are suffered to remain
and rule there unhung. Since the withdrawal
of the chief part of our forces from the city,
these yet unhumbled traitors have grown as
tonishingly impudent, and almost daily insult
the troops yet stationed in the vicinity. Near
ly or quite all the Union Flags that, after their
fright and submission, were raised in every part
of tho city, have, it is said, been covertly re-
moved while Marshal Kane has been heard to
boast that the authorities at Washington dare
not now arrest him, as in case of such an at
tempt, he would raise secession force in the
city and vicinity which would drive every
Union man, troops and all, from the place.
There is an old storm of wrath laid by in
store for Baltimore, and let her beware how
much farther she ventures in the course her con-
duct is now indicating, lest no consideration Of
our abused forbearance and mercy will be suf6-
cient to prevent it from bursting in fury and
desolaton on her devoted head.

GONE WITH OUR TEARS AND BLEssINGs.-Tho
CAPITAL GUARDS, whose orderly conduct during
the whole of the five or six weeks they have
been drilling in this village has commanded
such universal respect, left Montpelier for their
general rendezvous at Burlington, in an extra
train at about 7 o'clock this morning. The
depot was crowded with the relatives, personal
friends, and sympathizers Of the soldiers, and
the parting scene among them was as touching
as the heartfelt and prolonged cheers which fol-
lowed them, as the train moved off, were signif.
can't and animating. This is very unusually
stalwart and powerful company of citizen sol
diery, as is sufficiently shown in their average
weight of one hundred and sixty pounds-an
average nearly ten pounds greater than is found
recorded in the annals of the general run in
American Military companies in this country.

He leaves no children by his second wife. His
surviving children have property secured to
them but we are under the impression, which
we shall be glad to learn is Incorrect, that Mr.
Douglas financial affairs at the time of his
death were not very fourishng, and that his
widow, most accomplished and agreeable lady,
will be left unprovided for. If this is SO, we
cannot doubt that liberal public will manifest
its sympathy in the most effective manner
