lzr Among the changes effected by
the war, that which has been produced 10
the city Of Washington is probably the
most miraculous. One Of the common
predictions at the commencement of the
rebellion was, that the national capital,
under the influence of Northern money
and enterprise, would be transformed into
a populous and thrifty metropolis, and
that when the dead weight of slavery was
lifted from the people it lad so long OPP
pressed, new men, new manners, and new
institutions would rapidly appear and
drive the old e6ete system out Of existence
This prediction has been marvelously
realized. He who looks below the busy
surface of the warlike operations all
around us will see the Northern heart pal
pitatlng, driving Northern blood into all
the arteries of trade, and inyigorating and
strengthing every department of life
New buildings are being erected. new
stores opened, and a splendid city railroad
Is laid down, contributing alike to the
comfort of the people. and the pockets of
ITS projectors. Five or six places of
amusement are nightly crowded. Some
q those innovations will, perhaps, pass
away when peace returns, but many will
remain liked and permanent improvements
upon the dreamy past,

Ia front OF the city, in the midst of our
feet of ships and gupboa,s, is the British
war vessel, the Rinaldo, famous for carry
ing Mason and Slidel 10 Nassau.
When the evening comes and the levee is
crowded with our citizens, the officers of
this piratical craft, amuse themselves and
insult our ships and the people ashore by
playing the 'Bonny Blue Flag, the sup
posed national air of the rebel States.
There is also occasionally flying in some

HOW THEY LIE.

The way the Democratic press contln-
ues 10 manufacture falsehoods about the
soldiers vote furnishes ample evidence that
they were badly hurt by that vote.
A correspondent of the Constitution,
speaking of the 10th Regiment, says
"The commissioner sent by Iowa to re-
ceivc our vote, visited US here in the al
ternoon, took the vote of four companies
and quit. The reason was lack OF time.
A pity we could not have had n man who
understood his business, and give the
Regiment the right guaranteed them by
their State.
Out of this the editor Of the Constitu
ton manufactures an additional falsehood
as follows:
"Ttae following correspondence is from
one of the most respectable citizens of
this city, now an honored soldier in the
10th Iowa regiment. His letter shows
the rascality by which the Republican
commissioners managed to secure major
ity of the soldiers votes for their ticket

companies and refused 10 take the vote Of
six Democratic companies in the same
regiment, all stationed AT the same place
And after thus cheating the Democrats out
of their votes, they have the meauness to
charge that there are no Democrats in the
army Shame on such internal vii
lainy."
Now see how the simple truth publish
ed in our paper long ago, puts to shame
this falsehood and villGcation.
Mr.. Rutledge, the Commissioner, did
not 60 to the Regiment at ALL not being
able to reach it in time, as he supposed
He therefore telegraphed to the officer in

A gentleman who left Charleston, on
the Kanawha river, Sunday morning, in.
forms us that General Cox had continued
his advance. The rebels had not injured
the Salt Works, or destroyed the stocks
on hand. There were thirty-three inches
water in the river Sunday morning, and
as soon as slight distractions could be re-
moved from the channel at one point,
boats loaded with salt would leave for the
Ohio River. Our informant states that
the rebels had eaten the country bare OF
provisions, AID cavalry horses had con.
sumed all the corn in the Valley. Every
thing in the stores that the rebels had any
use for was purchased. payment being
made in Confederate scrip. How much
of this stuff the banks took on deposit,
under the order IN the propriety of which
President Mcfarland "concurred," is not
stated. At all events there is n large
supply of Confederate money and very

We clip the following notice Of the
new war vessel Keokuk from an Eastern
paper. The vessel will possess an inter-
est for our readers not alone for her re-
markabe qualities, but also on account
of the fact that she will bear the name of
our city proudly over the ocean
The tremendous iron vessel Kcokuk
formerly the Moodna, is now almost I'm
ished, and her launch is announced to
come off on the | 9Th instant. She is the
most extraordinary craft in the world. -
She resembles two small boats turned
down on each other. The machinery will
be carried entirely below water. There
is no wood work whatever, save in the
cabins. A propeller in the stern will
move her. There was no keel laid in the
centre OF this queer looking craft but
one at the bow and another at the stern,
both of which extended towards the mid
die of the hull about lG feet. A 7 feet
ram protrudes from the bow. 1t is OF
cast iron throughout, end bears resem-
blance to the rafns of the Monitor. -

sketch Of Galveston Sabine
River.

The capture and occupation of Sabine
Pass by the United States forces is a move
ment that will prove of great importance
to the government as d base of military
operations in Texas, as we'll as for the pur-
pose of checking the smuggling of cotton
and arms of the rebels. Since the COM
mencement of the war Sabine Pass has
been an important point to the rebels for
the expectation of arms and munitions of
war The Sabine River is the boundary
line between louisiana and Texas, and
across this stream arc transported the
thousands of bales OF cotton transported
from other States of the so-called South
ern Confederacy into Texas, to be shipped
from the ports of that State to Cuba and
other points in the West Indies and Eu-
rope. All the arms and munitions of
war that are landed in Matamoras cross
the Sabine River on their way to supply
the rebel army east of the Missouri River.
The Sabine River rises in Hunt county,
Texas, and from the head waters to the
pass at its mouth it traverses about 500
miles and empties into the Gulf of Mexi-
co after passing through Sabine Lake

but small boats can be used upon great.
