Caught in a Lie.

In Mr.. Voorhees, letter to the soldiers
occurs the following statement, which
the want of time to dissect the document
carefully caused Us to overlook Speak
ing OF bill making appropriations for
the army, which was passed during his
absence from the House, and thus failed
to receive his vote, he says:
This was in the case of the seven
hundred and fifty million bill, which had
about eighty millions in it for the soldier
and the balance for q compensated eman-
cipdtion, and perhaps other equally
Legitimate purposes, such as paying tue
plunderers of the Treasury"
The Cincinnati Gazette takes this
mean lie on the wing ard brings it down
with the fact that the +" bill referred to did
not appropriate dollar for compensated
emancipation. T" Mr. Voorhees, calcula-
ted largely on the ignorance of the pub
lie when he ventured on such a story;
but he calculated quite as largely on
their want of common sense when he
ventured to excuse his failure to vote for
the " bill !" on the ground of sick
ness, and then told lie to prove that it
was so bad that he oughtn't to have voted
for 1t if he had been WE'LL Daniel can't
ride both horses in this way He can't
pretend friendship for the soldier on the
ground that accident alone prevented
him from voting money to soldiers, and
then insist that he would have been still
more their friend by not voting for it if
he had had the chance-IRd Jour

tbs MARINE HOSPITAL GROUNDS
Government has, we learn, ordered q
survey of the river bank ia front of the
Marine Hospital, aud an estimate to be
made of the cost of grading the bank,
with a view to prevent the further wash
ing away of the grounds ia that vicin-
ity.
The survey has been made, by Messrs
Mnrsinua & Boyd, and their report for
warded to the proper Department at
Washington City.
This is work that should have been
done years ago, when there vas thrice
the area between the Hospital and the
river that now exists, but it is better to
do it now than to permit further waste
of good land to occur, and we hope the
Government will order the Improvement
TO be made at once
A respectable sized farm has been re-
moved from between the foot of Syea-
more street and the Marine Hospital
since the Hospital was built. The pro-
duct of the land thus washed away would
have been sufficient almost to have paid
for the work necessary for its preserva
ton.

The following important announcement
concerning the iron clad rams in the Mer-

Of the 18th inst:
We are informed that Earl Russell on
Wednesday despatched, by written missive,
q positive order to Messrs. Laird to I revent
those vessels leaving their yard without am
nile explanations Of their destination and a
sus tainable reference to their owner or own
ers, for whom they are constructed.
it is now affirmed, moreover, that the
French ambassador has been appealed to as
to the possibility of French subject hav
ing ordered vessels of this stamp OF an En-
g,i,h ship builder There is declared to
nave come proper official from his Excel
lencv that no French subject has any legal
light to possess or purchase vessels Of war
either for himself or On behalf Of others.
Earl Russell, it is said, argues to himself
that these vessels could only be vessels for
the war-like purposes of State or an indi.
vidual. HIS lordship holds that Messrs
Laird are bound to declare and sustain on
uuimpeachable testimony such declarat ion
as tbs government may make for whom the
.taam rams have been built.
The Secretary of Foreign Affairs is also
sc t,e opinion, that if thes. vessels are ioI

The Day OF AToNEMENT.-The Hebrew
fast of the Atonement, which began on
Tuesday evening withthe appearance Of the
stars, ended at the same hour last evening.
This is on of the m st solemn fasts observ-
ed by the Tsraelitish church, and is unto
this day strictly regarded among that peo-
pie, though many of the ceremonials are
dispensed with. In the early days of the
church, the priest who made the sacrifices
of the atonement was required to put On
holy linen garments, girded with linen
girile, aud a linen mitre. The goats and
bullocks were then made offerings for sin,
and the blood was sprinkled on the mercy
seat. In these latter days these ceremonies
arc not observed, but the people keep a
fast for four and twenty hours, nor do they
permit any servle work in their households
Inc observance of the day is strictly re-
quired of all who are recognized as mem
bers of any of the congregations, and there
are Iut few who do not respect it.
