OUR WASHINGTON LETrTER.

WASHINGTON, August 6, 1861.
The Senate was in Executive session last night
until nearly II o'clock, confirming the more i'm.
portant military appointments. Among those con.
hrmed was Lieutenant Colonel Emory, of your
State. The President sat all dav today in
the Capitol, and was busy, assisted by Messrs
Seward, Chase, and Assistant Secretary
Scott, in signing bills and making nominations
Among the bills signed are those to prevent the
sale or administration Of liquor to soldiers in this
city; to organize ''Nationa Guard" and to con.
struct bridge over the Potomac, &c
The appropriations made this session, INCLUDING
the extra two dollars to volunteers, will amount To
about $3.50, 900, 900.
The resolution legalizing the acts of the Presi.
dent was permitted to fall through In vain did
Mr. brecklnrldge, and few like him, impiore the
SENATE to record their votes before the country on
the passage OF the resolution. All useless: and
when the opportunity presented itself, the Adolf
tonists shrank from the responsibility of sunnort
ing those illegal and unconstitutional acts which
they had openly abetted and encourroed Th;s :;
the only satisfaction which remains to the lovers of
the Constltution-to know that even TrumbuII and
Fessenden, open and avowed disciples of WendalI
Phillips and Lloyd Garrison, dared not vote for
senate resolution No. l, and then look to their coz
sIituency for approval.
The Senate to day allowed Mr. Fred, p. Stanton
tcontestant Ter the seat now occupied by General
james IT, Lane, of kansas) the usual amount of
mileage, but would not give him the seat, although
the committee of investigation have adiudged Mr..
stanton to be the right owner of the seat
The navy-yard presents as busy an appearance as
usual: The steamer Mount Vernon arrived this
morning from Fortress Monroe, to which place She
mad carried troops. The Philadelphia, Powhatan
ana Pensacola are also at the yard the latter nm
dergoing repairs. Great activity prevails in the
ordnance Department. large numbers of guns.nrin.

Inc various camps near Fort Ellsworth on tho
opposite side OF the river, were thrown into great
commotion last night about III o'clock, by the an
nouneement that the Confederates were advancing
under Gen. Beauregard, to attack the batteries
and make demonstration against Washington

SERMON RUINED BY THE ADVANCE ON BULL
RUN.-The Rev. J. M. Wiley, the indefatigable
chaplain of the Sd Connecticut regiment, relates
the following curious incident: While the troops
were resting at Centreville, he concluded that, as
great Importance that they should be cheered and
encouraged in their work. Expecting to remain at
Centreville over Sunday, he selected text and ar
ranged the plan for sermon TO be preached to his
regiment; but alas the early march of Sunday
morning defeated his purpose, and although the
text still remains, the sermon was never preached.
It is sufficient to say that the text selected BY Mr.
Wiley was that in Psalm lx., and 7th v, "And

Soap AND WATER-rHEIR RRLArIoN.-In an adj
dress delivered by the engineer of the Glasgow
W aterworks, that gentleman remarked, that Mr.
Porter estimates the annual consumption of soap
81 lbs. per individual. The total population of
Glasgow may be taken at 400, 600; deduct for Cor
balls, 10000; total the north of river, $50 900
Surprising that only 81 lbs. of soap is allowed for
each person, it will give f72,0G0 the annual cost
OF soap, on the average of the country, consumed
6y the $4,000 persons, on the north OF the Clyde
Since the Introduction of Loeb Katrine owing to
Its soitness, careful returns show that nearly one
halt OF the soap formerly used will now suffice. If
these calculations were applied to London, the
saving there, allowing for the harder character OF
the water, would amount to not less than f4OO 600
per annum, equivalent to the interest of ten mil
lions of money, which it would be worth the while
OF the Londoners to pay for water equal in quality
to that of Loeb Katrine.
The Derby for 1868 has closed with 258 subscri-
bers, the Oaks with l9l, the st. Leger with 2IO.
and the Prince OF Wales stakes at Ascot for 1862
with los nominations.
Madame Georges Sand has denied that she has
received any compensation for her recent defeat by
Mr.. THEIRS; but says that such a compensation was
offered her.
