An Interesting Scene In tho Capit oil
Grounds, w ashingtOn.

WASHINGTON, Sept, l, 1862.
A very amusing scene occurred a few
days since in the Capitol Grounds, Wash
ington. Some two or three weeks ago,
while on the steamer Adelide, became
lish gentleman, from Manchester, who was
on his way to the Fortress on purpose of
making a visit to the Army OF the Poto-
mac. Whsn the army evacuated Harri-
sons Larding, he started for Washington,
and it WAS within half an hour after he
arrived there an amusing scene occurred,
of which the following is his own version
He entered the Capitol grounds and
asked an officer whom be met what that
magnificent structure was used for mean
ing the Capitol. That said the Off
Ger. is the bakery for the United States
Army This singular answer somewhat
took Mr.. Greaves aback, who. remonstrat'
ing a what he considered an unwafranta
bls joke under the circumstances, received
for reply, That is the only answer you
will get, Sir, and if you don't like it you
must take your own remedy When the
gentleman asked his name, John smith,
answered the officer. Highly incensed at
tuib sccoHu lnuisHttyb "f, NteaNee oo-
named his card, producing his own. The
officer now appeared to wish to get rid OF
the matter, turning on his heel in the di,
rection Of the Capitol, exclaiming, "Psha!"
The Englishman followed him up the steps
Of the Capitol. On reaching the top. the
officer turned round and said, Well, Sir,
what are you following me for? what do
you want?' ~ want your name an
swered Mr.. Greayes, "and | will follow
you till | learn what il is" The officer
ordered him to leave the place, but to no
purpose. Both parties appeared to be
getting excited, when fortunately, at this
instant door opened. and Capt. Darling
made his appearance. "Capt. Darling
commanded the officer, take this man
away" Capt. Darling at once advanced
and took charge Of Mr.. Greaves, II de-
msnd that you shall tell me the name of
that officer" THAT answered Capt.
Darling, "is Gen. Halleck, Commander,
in Chief of the American Army The
Hnglishman wilted.- Cor. ". Y. Tribune.
