VAsDALIsN AT WASHINGTON Referring to the
occupation of the Federal capitol at Washington
for military purposes, the st. Louis Republican
says:
1t is well known that an army bakery was estab,
lished in the basement of the capitol at Washing
ton. We do not recoect the reason for putting
any part of such an edifice to such use-any
more than for turning the Senate Chamber into
horse stables. There may possibly have been
some reason fer it. But, it would seem, there are
none for continuing what has proved to be nui-
'that much longer continuance of the bakeries
will very much njure, if not ruin, the vast and
valuable collection of books in the library of Con
gresss' gs WI. winch has cost 50 much money ana Is o.
7$ Aside from the damage done to the library
works of art and ornaments in other parts of the
building have been grimed and injured, while
structure have come in for their share Of the
damage. : -a=-- .rrT-

for saying that there is no truth in the report that

lives of the hostages, Col. Corcoran and others, in
the event of the execution of the Missouri bridge
burners. There is in the communication no allu-
sion whatever to that subject.

CouRr MARTIAL,-The Court Martial of the 4sth
Regiment, which was held yesterday for the trial
of delinquents, was very summary and very rigid
in its proceedings; some Of said delinquents being

and some ordered to jail. 1t would have been
much better for them if tkey had condescended to
fall into ranks, keep step and touch elbows with

THE WASHINGTON ARTILLERY.

The Richmond correspondent of the Delta,
writing under date 18th inst, pays the following
high and deserved compliment to the Washington
Artillery and Major Walton:
Congress has passed the bill and it has been
signed by the President, to provide for system of
promotions in the artillery branch Of service. This
Legislation IS intended to remedy the deficiency
heretofore existing, in consequence of which ar
tillery officers were precuded from obtaining the
recognition of their services involved in that pro-
motion which, in mary cases, was admitted to be
just and proper. A conspicuous example of this
deficiency in the laws was presented in the case
of Major Walton, of your city, whose eminent
services have been recognized in the most en-
phatic terms by Gen. Beauregard, by the Secre-
tary of War and by the President. Major Walton
guns; larger command than that of any other
artillery officer. For discipline and efficiency, his
battalion, the Washington Artillery, stands un-
rivalled in our army. Its services have been

Of January, l3 days of active service in front of
the enemy; while no other corps in the army Of
the Potomac can show record,af half that num-
Of the outpost duty of the army has fallen on it.
In fact, with the exception of the artillery in the
Drainsvle affair, no other battery in the army Of
the Potomac has fred hostile gun since the 2lst
of July. -S@'.Es5' = = .1.-7
Major Walton has for some time acted as Chief
of artillery Of the First Corps, and has in that ca
pacity gained the commentator of his command
ing General for his zeal and efficiency in the dis
charge of the arduous duties devolving upon him.
Yet although he came into the field with larger
command than was held by any other artillery
officer, and has done more actual service than any
other, it may seem strange that he is outranked by
others. Col. Pendleton, who broughta single bat
terg Of for guns into the service, stands two
was recognized by the Government. Col. Pendle-
ton is brave and skillful officer, beyond doubt;
but the accident by which he obtained rank above
Major Walton, and the oversight which precluded
the Department from complying with Gen. Beaure-
CARDS recommendations, by bestowing promotion
on Major Walton, ought not, in the estimate Of the
relative merits and deserts of the two officers to
be weighed IN IN, favor Of the one and against the
the appointment,of Brigadier. General of Artil-
lery for every eighty guns in service, Colonel for
every forty, a Lieutenant Colonel for every twen.
ty, and Major for every twelve, Before pro-
ceeding to make appointments under this bill, the
War Department has applied to Gen. Johnston for
statement Of the relative merit and service Of the
officers Of artillery in the Army Of the Potomac.

The BATTLE OF BEIMoNT.-In Major-General
Polk's official report of tine battle of Belmont fiat
tering mention is made of two distinguished Lou
isianians-one, alas! in his grave-whch we take
pleasure in appendng: ..l. fl -s. .,. o.
Col. Marks, of the llth Louisiana Regiment, rem
dered the most efficient service by the decision
with which he led his column, in the face of the
most discouraging circumstances, to the attack of
the enemy Is flank. Is
The condition Of the field, and the battle after
the rout, pursued by the flying enemy sufficiently
testify to the deadly aim of the Louisianians and
Tennesseeans, who composed his command. 1t
was in this attack that the gallant Major Butler lost
his life in the performance ofa duty in advance of
his column. He was young officer of high prom
Use, and deeply lamented by all who knew him. = :
This is the third war in which Col. Samuel F.
Marks has been engaged. He served with credit
in the Florida and Mexican wars, and in this, our
Southern war for independence, he has conducted
himself with such marked gallantry and efficiency
as to elicit the high encomiums of his commanding
General. May much success attend the noble old
veteran in the future. .,,s-.. ~. ~, z
