At the Patent Office can be found the res ults

At the Patent Office can be found the res ults
of the inventive genius OF the people of this
free country, (once,) together with ten thous-
and other things worthy of examination. All
sections of our great country are represented,
and it would take a months time to make
thorough examination of all that is to be found
here, and also as much time in giving mi
mute description of the many articles.
The White House is not an imposing struc-
ture of gigantic proportions, but a pleasing
mansion built of white marble and situated
about one mile from the Capitol, towards the
Potomac. AT present it is undergoing COM
lie renovation, to be ready for the return of
Mrs. Lincoln. who. at present, is away at Long
Branch, summer resort on Long Island
There is not schoolboy in the land who
has not read of the Capitol at Washington
1t would require separate article to speak of
the many different apartments of this magnif-
cent public building the largest in the United
States. The dome is not complet ed, although
workmen have resumed their labors. which of
late had been suspended. Washington City
itself, outside from its public buildings, would
be a.dirty, miserable city. 1t population, le-
ultimately, is twenty-one thousand-a place
of sufficient size, certainly. that its staeets
should be kept clean. Washington, under
due exercise of taste, might be made one of
the most delightful cities in the Union. with
its broad and beautiful avenues, its wide streets
crossing at right angles, its parks, its marble
palaces, its monuments and statues, and wo'd
lequire but little expense under the guidance
of correct taste and skill to be beautiful city.
1t is now-in the language of hundreds of SOL
diers, who by the way are keen observers--but
cone horse town, and only half finished at
that

you the current news, but jotted down a few

To the County Seat.-Last

week we paid visit to the County Seat
and found its appearance much improv-
ed during the two months past. Mr..
CR1Pp1N has put up and is finishing off n
large hotel building, and is ready at all
times for the proper pecuniarv consider
alton, to mitigate the "hollowness OF life
DUNBAR has erected store, and sup
plies the necessaries and some of the lux
uries to the new Capitol and four or five
other buildings have been built, or are in
process of erection.
The work on the Co. building has no t
progressed very far. The trenches for
the walls are dug, and portion of the
stone, lime and lumber is on the ground,
but the work of erection has not yet
commenced.
We learned that the total expense up
to June 18th, incurred by the first COM
mittee consisting of Messrs. Akers, Copp
spd Williams, in moving Co. offices, fix
ing up the building now occupied by the
Go. officers, and putting up the temper
airy building used as Court House, was
$256,61, in Co. orders at their face
The amount now expended on the Court
House is about $500.
1t is probably generally known that
Judge Howes has issued an injunction
against the further issue of Co. orders on
the ground of ilegality, and owing to
Judge Wetherby's absence, trial cannot
be had till the first of next month. We
do not know what course the building
committee will take but it is hardly pro-
bable that the Court House will be ready
for the occupancy of the Co. offices this
fall. We understand however that a
suitable place can be secured.
The Building committee have made
writer contracts for much of the work
which was to have been done this season,
but by reason of the injunction, the Build
ing committee are not enabled to fulfill
their part of the contract, and whether
they will be liable for damages remains
TO be seen.
The road to the Co. Seat is excellent
no better in the country. In the timber
it is dry, and you drive over it as rapid
ly and easily as on the prairie. The
crops in the timber and through Trim
belle and Oak Grove have turned out
finely. @ .se1a

Republioan State Convention.

a Republican State Convention will be
held at the Capitol, in the city of Madison. at
- O'Clock, NJ. on Wednesday, the 29th day of
September next for the purpose of nominating

portionment, will be entitled to two delegates
in the Convention.
The Committee recommend that the prima-
" meetings for the selection of delegates be
held on or before the 18th day of September,

calls for such meetings, that the people. may
be thoroughly notified, and choose delegates
who fairly reflect their wishes.

An Incident For the hast few
days the camp has been thronged with
friends and relatives of members of the
Fifth. AT any time of day the more Sc
cluded portions of the grounds were fill-
ed with men and women. One incident
occurred yesterday, which will long be
remembered by those who witnessed it.
While the Fifth was ain column" march
ing to the gate, young women, with an
infant in her arms, rushed across the
grounds and placed herself beside her
husband in the ranks, and refused to be
separated from him. At the cars she
wept and hung on his neck, and he was
obliged to push her away from him by
main force when the train started, and in
doing so the baby fell to the ground,
breaking one Of its legs.

The State Convention.-Itw will be seen
that two delegates are apportioned to each
Assembly District by the Chairman OF the
State Committee. Two years ago at the Re
publican State Convention, resolution was
passed, specifying that where an Assembly
District comprised more than one county, each
county should be entitled to two delegates
One State Convention has already been held
on this basis and the N northwest will doubt
less insist on the full representation they are
