Washington Correspondence Of the New York Tribune
AN INTERESTING SCENE IN THE
CAPITOL GROUNDS, WASHINGTON.

AN INTERESTING SCENE IN THE
CAPITOL GROUNDS, WARRINGTON
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, l became acquainted with a
Mr.. Greaves, an English gentleman from
Manchester, who was on his way to the fort
ress for the purpose Of making visit to the
Army of the Potomac. When the army
evacuated Harrison's Landing, he started for
Washington, and it was within half an hour
after he arrived that an amusing scene oc-
Cured, of which the following is his own
version:
He entered the Capitol grounds and asked
an officer whom he met what that magnifi-
cent structure was used for, (meaning the
Capitol.) "That, - answered the officer, +" is
the bakery for the United States army"
This singular answer somewhat took Mr..
Greaves aback who, demonstrating at what
he considered an .unwaIranted 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 this second ndignity,
Mr.. Greaves demanded his card, producing
his own. The officer now appeared to wish
to get rid of the matter, turning on his heel
in the direction of the Capitol, exclai,ning
"psha ~ The Englishman followed him up
the steps of the Capitol. On reaching the
top, the officer turned round and said, We'll,
sir, what are you following me forp What
do you want 7" :" want your name," an
swered Mr.. Greaves, and | will follow you
until learn what it is" The officer order.
ed him leave the place, but to no purpose.
Both parties appeared to be getting excited,
when, fortunately, at this instant q door
opened, and Capt. Darling made his appear

INCIDENTS OF THE WAR.-Somc years ago
Sir Charles Napier gave the following advice
to Bristol regiment in Calcutta, which is
just as applicable to our own soldiers in the
South: ~ '# y"t tat .a..#r
Let me give you bit Of advice, that is,
don't drink. know young men do not
think much about advice from old men.
They put their tongues in their cheek, and
think that they know good deal better than
the old cove that is giving them advice.
But let me tell You that you have come to
country where, If you drink you are a dead
man. If You be sober and steady you'll get
on well but if you drink, you are done for.
You will either be invalid or die. knew
two regiments in this country-one drank,
the other didn't drink. The one that did
drink has been all but destroyed. know
there are some men who will drink in spite
of their officers, but such men will soon be
in the hospital, and very few in this coun-
try that go in ever come out again.

"TnE DIAMOND WEDDrNa."- readers
will recollect the diamond wedding" hich
sensationized New York-in fact the whole
world-about three years since, wherein
snuti-colored Cuban, Of antiquated age and
decayed vitality, but Of fabulous wealth, won
and wed the beauteous and youthful daugh-
ter of Lieut. Wash. Bartlett. The diamond
wedding IS historic, and the sequel will soon
become so. A Havana correspondent of the
New York Tribune gives it briefly as follows
The famous diamond wedding has turn
ed out, as every one expected, badly. Mrs.
Ovedo is now in town, and am told sepa.
ration has been effected, he to pay S4, 600
per annum and Mrs. 0. to live in the States,
She has had an UNHAPPY time of it.'

[From the Louisville Journal

IT is said that Humphrey Marshall is
coming in this direction If any one of our
friends design drawing bead upon him
when he gets inside, let them practice be-
forehand at barn door. ..- -.... ..
Our Union authorities are too often hang
ing back when the rebels should be hanging
up.
Some woman writes to US that she thinks
that the rebel prisoners here may be poisoned.
Not unless they are so unfortunate as to be
kissed by such venomous creatures as she.
jeff Davis is the head of the rebellion.
Humphrey Marshall is paunch, and Floyd
and Pillow its legs.
The tomb of Henry Clay is in possession
of the rebels. Daily and nightly the howl
ings of disunIon echo over the awful dust Of
HIM who deprecated and denounced the
spirit of disunion through all his life. The
tomb Of the great dead must be rcddsSneal
We must fight for it as the Moslem would
fight for the tomb of his Prophet. Kentuck-
ians to the rescue!

BILIOUS collie.

It is gratifying to learn that large numbers
Of the rebels in Maryland are overeating
themselves and coming to grief with bilious
collie. Let them stay where they are by all
means. Let our generals ply them incessant-
ly with green corn, pour into them the
heaviest charges Of cucumbers, and lombard
them with ten-inch water melons. The
whole country around Fredrick will soon be
covered with squirming rebels whose bowels
will be tied up in such dreadful knots that
further resistance would be impossible.

GENERAL JACKsON,S GREATEST
MISTAK Il. E-

1t is said that the following conversation
took place between Gen. jackson and his
physician, while the old hero was lying on
his death bed. a ~ ya
The General, in speaking Of his admins
tration, inquired of his physician
"What act in my administrat,or, in your
opinion, will postcrity condemn with the
greatest sevcrityy" &
The physician replied that he was unable
to answer-that it might be the removal Of
the deposits" x8
"Oh, no |" said the General.
"Then it may be the specie circular ?"
"Not at all /" -ara
"What is it thene p" saa -s.s
81 can tell you l" said he, rising up in his
bed, his eyes kindling can tell you. Pos
terity will condemn me more because was
persuaded not to hang John G. Calhoun as
traitor, thar for any other act Of my life."
Docs not this seem to be inspiration now
II Calhoun, the originator Of this conspiracy
to divide the Union, and to build up the
Southern Confederacy, had been executed for
his treason, we would have had mo. rebellion

TIE HONEY Moon BRIGADE.-The New
York Express gives the following as COM
munication:
Deuteronomy, Oath chapter, 9TH verse !:
When a man hath taken a new wife, he
shall not 60 out to war, neither shall he be
charged with any business; but he shall be
free at home one year, and shall cheer up
his wife which he has taken.
1t is Of some interest to newly married
Eoung men to know whether Gov. Morgan
will ignore the "higher law,' and compel
them to 60 to the war. A

HEALTH OF New ORLEANs.-In relation to
the health Of the city, the Delta, Of the 27th,
says:
despite the wishes and prayers of ma
lignant few, who invoked sickness and dis.
ease upon our fair city, in the frantic hope
that fell pestilence would sweep tho dcnizens
of another cline alike with the regular in
habitants Of our city ints one common grave,
New Orleans has never been in healthier
condition than at the present moment. For
the week ending August "a, of the cur
rent year, there were only 188 deaths, show
ing decrease Of 25 on the week previous. =.
This win compare fayorably with the bills Of
mortality Of any city in the North, and when
we consider that the season is pretty well ad.
vanced, and as we may soon expect to feel
against our cheek the ealth-bringing autun-
nal breezes, we have every prospect Of year
blessed almost beyond parallel here, SO far as
its sanitary condition is concerned"
