IN Interesting scene in the Capitol
Grounds, Washington.
From 4 SPecisi Correspondent.

From Special Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Sept. l. 1862.
A very amusing scene occurred few days since
IN the Capitol Grounds, Washington. Some two or
three weeks ago, while on the steamer Adelaide, the
Fortress Monroe boat, from Baltimore, became ac-
cuainted with a Mr.. GIeaves, an English gentleman,
from Manchester who was on his way to the for
tress for the purpose Of making visit TO the Army
Of the Potomac When the army evacuated Harri-
sons Landing. be started for Washington, and it
within half hour sitter he arrived there that
an amusing scene occurred, Of which the following
is his own version:
lie entered tie Capitol grounds and asked an Of
fCer whom ne met what that magnificent structure
was used for (meaning the Capitol. THAT an
swered the officer d" is the bakery for the United
States Army" THIS singular answer somewhat took
Mr. Grcayes abaci, who, demonstrating at what lie
considered IN unwarr4ntable joke under the cream
stances, received for reply, THAT is the only an
swer Won will get, Sir, and if yOu 90 nj Ike It yon
must take your own remedy When the gentle
msn asked his name, "Joln Smith" answered The
officer. Highly ncenscd at this second indignity,
Mr. Greaves demanded his card, producing his own.
4 The officer now appeared 10 wish 10 get nd Of Tie
matter, turning on Lie heel in hc direction OF tho
Ca,itol, exclaiulns, Psha!' The Engiishman fol-
lowed him up The steps of the Capitol. On reaching

Sir what are You following Inc for What do You
want?" II want your name" answered Mr.
Greaves, "aud will follow YOU until learn what
1t IT," The officer ordered him to leave the place,
but to no purpose. Both parties appeared to be get
t.nc excited when, fortunately, at this instant a
door opened, and Capt. Darling made his appeal
auce "Capi. Darling" commanded the officer,
take this man away Capt. Darling ut once ad-
yanced aud TOOK charge Of Mr. Grcayes. Before

fit be true that history repeats itself
the interest of leaf from the history Of
our revolutionary struggle is enhanced by
present passing events. BOtia, in his His
tory Of the War of Independence Of the
United States, vol /, p. go, says:
"L7rd Dunmore proclaimed martial law ;
the effect of which would have been TO sus-
pend a II civil authority in the province
He exhorted the loyalists to repair to the
royal standard, to retain in their hands the
contributions due to the crown, as well as
other taxes, until the establishment of
peace. Moreover he declared free all sla yes
or servants, black or white, provided they
should take arms and join the royal stand
ard. This prOclama ton and especially the
clause concerning the slaves, proved that
Lord Dnnmore was a man extremely def
cient in prudence and moderation, but pro-
duced none Of the effects be had expect
ed.
"In the colonies, and even IN all other
countries, universal cry arose against q
measure which tended to disturb society in
SIS very foundations, TO destroy domestic
security, to cDgender mortal suspicious,
and to excite race, naturally iert cirrus,
60 vengeance and murder. In fact, this
rtep Of the Governor was not merely use

minds Of the greater number, an1 gained
over none,
"The few negroes who were enlisted by
Lord Dunmore, and were pressed into a

The Rock River Methodist Episcopal

There are nearly two hundred elergymen

cludes some os the most talented and elo-

cussons, addresses and sermons will COM

Excepting or the slavery question, the
proceedings Of the Conference have been
characterized by harmony aud uDanimity.
Unfortunately for the sacred cause in
which the ministers Of that church are
enlisted, many Of them like most of our
politicians, have became fauatical Adolf

the prevailing ain. We await the final ae-

Candlda:e for Congress.

To-day we raise the name of Col. L. 1.
D,cksy. as our candidate for Congress, sub
ject however to the decision of convention
if one be held.
1t Is not necessary for US to itform our
leaders who Col Dickey is. There is
scarcely man in the district who is not
acquainted with his history. Fer the last
twenty years he has been intimately con-
nected with The fate of Northern Illinois,
and no man is better qualified to represent
our interests in our national legislature
As lawyer be has no superior in the State,
and as public speaker few men can inter
est an audience more. While tho cid whig
party lived he was q firm advocate of its
principles and measures. But after that
party was disbanded, took little or nor part
in politics until the last Presidential cleo
ton when he took the stump for Judge
Douglas and by the powers of his talents
aud eloquence did oil he could to secure his
election. lie is strickly national man,
and can be depended on as such in any
emergency.
When the present unfortunate war broke
out, he was among the first to draw his
sword in defense OF the Union. lie is c, lJncl
of 4th Illinois Cavalry, regiment which
has seen more active service than any other
cavalry regiment Of this State. At Fort
Donelson and Pittsburs Landing it was in
the thickest of the fight and its gallant
Colonel led his brave men with dauu tless
courage.
And now it is proposed to send tho brave
leader of the noble 4ih to another field 81
action; and we call upon all Union men tc
assist US in the effort. His election to
Congress would not call him from his mill
tary duties, until one year from next De-
cember, by which time the rebellion will
have been suppressed, o. if it should MOI
have been, man who is engaged in The
conflict will be better calculated to sug-
gest measures for legislation than civil
| ian.
Therefore, it is hoped that political par
ties will be lost Sigh: of in the approaching
contest fer Congress. We want man whC
is rot pledged to the dominant party, WHIT
is true and loyal to the constitution ant
the Union-and Col. T. Lyle D;ckey is tina
man.

President Lincoln is very Blondin in

necessities Of war compelled him to restore
that general to command, he found it ne.
eessary to pacify this exacting and NEEDLE

why was it so long delayed? Its issue at
