The situation Of affairs at Washington is
evidently but imperfeotly understood
There seems 70 be prevailing impression
lhas the city is in danger. This fear may
at once be dispellsd by brief statement of
the position of its defenoes.
From one mile north Of Georgetown to
within 3 half mile Of Alexandra, dis
tancs Of nearly six miles, there is q COM
plete line Of entrenchments, -breastWOrks
that viii prove ample against any force
the enemy may be able to march before
them. In addition to these are Forts Cor
ooran, RunyOn, and Seward, commanding
the approaches to the city for many miles,
sll Of them mounted with formidable guns,
ranging in calibre from twenty four to
seventy two Founders. A line Of block.
houses have also been built from which
most destructive Ere could be maintained.
These combined works are considered by
competent military engineers as entirely
impreguable to an assaulting army Of any
size less than hundred thousand men.
The Potomac River is about one mile
wide between Washington and Georgetown
and the Virginia side. The eommunica-
ton between them is BY mesns Of two
bridges and "a aqusduOt, the latter pro-
vided only with narrow fOot-psth. The
bridges each have draws" by which Q
passage could be at once snd efectuaIly
cut off, Even if they could not, a single
regiment on the Washington side with 8
battery Of artillery could successfully de-
fend them against an army Of any mum
bers. 80
b With respect to The danger Of crossing
The Potomac above or below the city, M
fears need be felt There are no means o
transportation. Il would take an army o.
ten thousand men three days to make
crossing with tho means at hand. Thii
apprehension, then, may be safely dismiss
ed.
The Confederate Army will not venturl
upon so hazardous an experiment as III
capture Of the Capital. They are better 8
fghling behind trenches than in an opel
field. The victory will be ultimately our
as sure as that the sun shall rise to-day.

other side. Much anxiety is manifested

on a motion Of Mr.. Blair Of Missouri, abol-
ishing the two District Courts in Missouri,

In the course Of the debate Crittenden

the power Of Congress and an innovation
Of the Constitutional mode Of remoYalof a

ition Of the Court as now proposed.
The bill passed by 70 yeas to 80 nays.

TESTS OF CHARAcrER.-A great many admirable
actions are overlooked by US because they are so
little and so common Take, for instance the mother
who has had broken slumber, if any at ALL with the
nursing babe whose wants must not be disregarded,
she would fain sleep awhile when the breakfast
hour comes but patiently and uncomplainingly she
takes her timely seat at the table Though ex-
hausted and weary, she serves all with refreshing
cup Of coffee or tea before she sips it herself and
often the cup is handed back to her to be reflled,
before she has time to taste her own. Do you hear
her complain.-this weary mother-that her break
fast is cold before she has time to eat it And this
not for one, but every morning perhaps, through
the yeart Do you call this small thing Try it
and see Oh ! how does woman shame US by her for
bearance and fortude in what wrongfully called
little things which are the tests of character it is
by these little selfdenials, borne with much self
forgotten gentleness, that the humblest home is
made beautiful to the eyes Of angels, though we fail
to see it alas till the chair is vacant and the hand
