WASHINGTON, June H.
Personal explanations take precedence
here, At the metropolis, and are always in
order. So l desire to inform one Of your
cotcmporaries, who has found fault with a
statement, in this correspondence, that the
treatment Of representatives of the press by
the Administration here is not acceptable to
many loyal men who correspond with pa
pcrs at distance, that he is probably igno-
rant Of the facts connected with the exercise
Of the censorship of press dispatches This
was commenced and is occasionally exercised
by the State Department, although it has
been for some time, and is now, exercised
by the War Department. II your cotenl-
porary will take the trouble to obtain the
opinions on the censorship of the writer's
who correspond from here with the New
York Tribune, Independent, Ersning Post,
and the Anti-Siarvy Standard, gentlemen
whose social political and anti-slayery posi-
tons he must regard as unexccptionable, it
will be found that am not wrong in assert
ing that deep feeling exists among friends as
well as opponents of the Administration on
the exercise Of an arbitrary censorship Of the
press, in manner which, to use mild ex-
preston, is not agreeable.
A REMEDY FOR PiLEs-It is a blessing to
the suffering to know that we hayc an ef-
fcctual cure for this truly troublesome dis
ease. Mr.. J. p. Hazarle, Of lGl Cd ST.,
Cincinnati, o., takes great pleasure in in
forming all who arc suffering with piles that
he used small quantity of DR.. Strickland's
Pile Kcmeny, and il effected permanent
cure. This seems to be the case with all
manufactured at No. East 4th St, Gu
cinnati, o., and sold by all druggists.

The Washington Map,

We had a call from the agent for the
sale of this excellent map on Wednes.
day. and examined the work with some
care. Undoubtedly it is the best map
Of the United States of its class before
the public. 1t is on scale which ad.
mits Of printing tho counties in all the
States In colors. The map itself, so far
rs OUTLINES. boundaries, chief towns.
etc. are concerned. is as perfect as is we'll
possible to make one; but besides its
completeness in these particulars, i, has
showing by isothermal lines of the
average heat of the different sections of
the country; lines indicating the currents
OF prevailing winds in all the States; a
showing Of the geological conformation
and deposits in the various regions al
ready explored; the regions where
wheat and other products Of agricul-
iure are successfully grow; full statistics
as compiled from the last ceucus; dis
lance from and to the larger cities on
an air line: date Of the admission into
the Union of each State, the size of
each in square miles, number of nhab-
itants dc: mountain elevations; water
falls; variations of time in all parts of
the Union; ports Of entry; church ac-
ccmmodations. and great variety of
useful and reliable information ready
at hand, which can be taken in at
glance. Altogether this is far ahead
OF any thing in the map line-excep,
on highly expensive scal--ye, pro-
duced; and every family that can afford
i, should have copy.
