tive operations on the Potomac, as they
did through that pleasant weather a year
ago.
The city is full of strangers, and evi-
dently of all classes, colors, and cOndi-
tions The hotels and boarding houses
are crowded. Boarding is high. Provi-
sions are high Fuel is high.
Our member, 8lr. Riddle, arrived last
evening, and stops at the National. Sen
ator Wade arrived this morning, and is
also stopping st the National. Mr.. Wade
is looking very well, and If Ohio knows
what is for her interest and that of the
nation, she will re-elect him this winter.
1 tell you we want ion-hearted men as
well in the councils Of the nation as upon
the battlefield, and the approaching ses-
sion Of Congress will convince the people
Of that fact if they don't already know it.
Judge Worcester, of Norwalk, Mr.. Edger-
ton, Of Akron, Mr.. Hutchins, Of Warren,
and in fact most Of the Ohio delegation,
have arrived.
The Avenue and Capitol Grounds have
been alive with people all day luxuriating
in this "glorious old sunshine" The
dome to the Capitol is nearly completed,
improving its appearance very much. 1t
has not yet been perforated with q shell
by any Of JEFF Davis horde of eonspirs-
tors, although 10 them the most coveted
target in the world The acres Of white
tents to be seen on the surrounding hills,
and the vast armies between it and Jeffs
miuions, viii probably presentan obstacle
never to be overcome by them. No; they
will never get within gun-shot of the Cap
ital
Emancipation is triumphant! The ball
rolls on, and it will continue to roll on
No General can stop it-no false Demo-
cratic party can stop it. I verify believe
it to be beyond the power Of man to stop
it. They may check it, they may turn it
aside for a moment, but it cannot be stop
ped. The Lord has decreed that Slavery
shall be destroyed in our fair land, and
who is mightier than He. The "pure Gus
sedness which has been instilled into the
hearts Of shareholders BY that corrupting
institution, viii drive them to such deeds
of depravity and wickedness that the
whole civilized world will stand sghast
shuddering with horrorl The black flag
will be raised over battle-felds by them,
and no prisoners taken-no wounded
spared-no mercy shoWnl By it they will
lose what cotton sympathy they now have
in foreign lands-the Vallandigham De-
mocraey would say take all the Slave
States and go, and peace be with you,
rather than do that, but they can't go in
that way-yet such retaliation will be
meted out to them by our own soldiery as
will demonstrate to them that destruction
to rebels will follow the black flag. That
miserable rebel, JEFF. Davis as initiatory
to the black flag, has just ordered one Of
his generals to shoot the first ten Federal
officers who fall into his hands as prison
ers. The time will soon come when even
the present apologists Of Slavery in the
North viii join in the work Of Emancipa-
tion.
Foreign intervention is not now feared
in the least. The recent attempt Of Louis
Napoleon having so signally failed, it is
now thought that matters will be left to
work out their legitimate results without
any further effort Of Foreigners to mix in
the war. E.B.

saw Congress commence its session TO-
day. The usual hum was increased by the
cordial salutatiOns of members until the
clock indicated that it was twelve, when
the rap of the gavel Of Speaker Grow was
followed by an almost deathly stiffness.
The old Chaplain, with his locks of snow.
addressed the Throne Of Grace, and as
soon as he had said Amen" dozen mem
bers shouted from different parts Of the
Hail, Mr.. speakeri'' " Mr.. speakerP' and
the usual uproar prevailed.
A communication from the Senate says
they are organized, and have appointed
committee TO inform the President Of that
fact, whereupon The House does the same.
In the meantime, little Cox Of Columbus
introduces secesh bomb by way of reso-
luton censuring the President for arrest
ing secesh sympathizers, and putting them
in Forts and Prisons where their preach
| ings had no effect Mr.. Colfax promptly
moves to lay them on the table, which is
very promptly done by the yeas and nays.
| Old Richardson, Of Illinois, follows up this
bluff game by introducing q similar reso-
/ luton, only limiting it 10 Illinois butter
nuts. It was summarily disposed of in
the same manner.
The Presidents Message is sent in, and

| the Senate, as Mr.. Forney, who by the
way is an excellent reader, concluded the
message. The galleries were literally
/ jammed full, intently listening, and as the
concluding sentence was uttered, uni
versal applause came forth, growing louder
and louder until repeated raps Of the gavel
and sharp cries Of order from the Chair
man put stop to it.

can hardly believe such injustice to Colo

has won his eagles by hard and honorable
service, it is he.
