REMOVAL OF THE CAPITAL.

Correspondence Of thasCtncinnah Gazette.
WASHINGTON, June l4-The last move
ment in favor of a removal Of the Capital
met with less encouragement than had
been expected. But il is not to be denied
that this movement has already passed out
of the list of things TO be laughed at. On
A careful canvass il is believed that a ma
iority could, to-day, be secured in the
House, and a very respectable vote in the
Senate, in favor of a general declaralion
that the capital ought TO be removed TO
some pO.nt in the Valley Of the Mississippi
An effort that should be complicated with
the interests Of any particular locality,
would fall still-born. IL Il were not for
the debt, however, and for the general feel
ing against undertaking any expensive
measures at present, there is no doubt that
the removal project would develop an un-
expected and surprising strength.
The feeling on the subject has already
reached the most sensitive Of classes, the
class Of gentleman looking for permanent
Investments in real estate. Last winter an
eminent member Of the Supreme Court
who expects 10 remain on the Bench for
the rest Of his life, while complaining Of
the present discOmfOrts OF his present way
Of life in Washington, told me that he had
made arrangements 20 buy house here,
and had fully intended to have the transac-
lion completed before that time. "But,
said he, "the growing feeling in favor Of
removing the capital has alarmed me.

stead Of having the comforts Of home,

meals at a hotel"
CurIously enough, every member o
the Supreme Bench, though with lif
appointments that require their PresencI
here every winter, has acted on IA,
same theory. The Chief Justice lives wit

CROP PROSPECTS IN EaGLaxn.

Mr.. James SAnderson writes to the
Pail Mall Gazette, under the date of June ] ::
with respect to the wheat there has
not been the slightest cause of misgivingsS'
as the season throughout has been unpre-
cedently favoable. Suitable preparatory
tillage labor, an excellent seed bed, a
rapid and regular braird, an unusually
mild winter, and dry and early spring,
are one and all favorable conditions which
have this season been singularly promi-
nent. There has also been an absence of
those checks to vegetation which not I'M
usually give rise to the farmers fears. No
drowned crops on flooded lORlands, nor
rotted seed from a rainy autumn, nor deei-
mated plants from spring frosts have been
experienced Hence, in the first week of
June the prospects Of the wheat crop, for
earliness and abundance, have not for
many years been equalled; indeed if ex-
listing appearances are maintained, the
enormous wheat yield of 1863 will be re-
produced in 1863 while by the third week
ofJuly new wheat will be in the market.
"Plants are numerous, vigorous in stem,
luxuriant in hue, and already on a large
breadth Of land the ears issuing from the
sheaths
"The wirewoTm, favored by the dry sea-
son, has committed serious ravages on the
weaker fen soils, but the area thus dam
aged is comparatively trifing, and on fen
land generally crops are magnificent. In
deed, in many instances they are over-lux-
uriant, and not a few farmers have adopted
the process Of tagging cutting offthe top
blades to check too rapid growth and give
strength to the succulent stems.
"On the light as we'll az on undrained
CLAWS, and especially in the midland and
eastern counties, barley and oats have
suffered from the want of q sufficient guam
tity of rain, and it is to be feared that all
the spring-sown cereals, from cushing pre-
maturely into ear, will be short in straw
and deficient in head Beans, especially
winter-swoB, vie with the wheat crop in
luxurianee. Potatoes are thickly planted
vigorous in stem and very forward.
"The area under grain crops is unusually
large, and have no doubt that coming
statistics will show an excess under wheat
alone of one hundred thousand acres over
that of last year. have inst been over an
estate in Lincolnshire which contains seven
thousand acres, fve-sixths Of the tillage
area of which are under grain crops, and
the remaining one-sixth only under roots
and clovers.
Excepting on light soils, the yield Of
artificial grasses will be heavy. The yield
of meadow hay will not exceed an average.
"As with corn, SO also with stock hus-
bIndry are propects singularly cheering.
Cattle are unusually free from disease, the
clip of wool is heavy, the number of lambs
is great, while pastures are luxuriant- Al
together the food produce of 1868, Judging
from present prospects, promises great
abundance,

DECLINE OF ENGLISH MANUFAC
TIRES

The result Of the Paris Exhibition in
showing the superiority Of foreign workmen
and manufactures over those Of England
has excited great apprehensions in the
latter country. The subject has been dis
cussed in Parliament, and several plans
have been proposed 10 restore their former
prestige. 1t is curious that, after the
Exhibitions of 1855 and 1862, the French
Jurors expressed fears Of the superiority Of
England, whereas now the situatiou is re-
versed and the latter are behind. In many
articles Of manufacture, particularly wool,
silk, lace and iron, England can hardly
compete with Europe. Ii is true both her
exports and imports have doubled within
a few years, but they are mainly raw ma
terial sent abroad TO be manufactured.
The cause Of this decline is held by the
best authorities TO be the superior technical
training of foreign workmen. Some stress
is also laid upon the dishonesty Of many
English manufacturers, who make an in-
ferior class of goods, and thus lower their
standing abroad. English middle-class
education has made scarcely any advance
in the last thirty years, aud the standard Of
intelligence is very low. This is the real
cause Of the inferiority of her workmen, as
technical instruction is Of little value with
out proper elementary education.

ANTIQUITY OF SUN DIALs.

The Chinese, who seem to have been
foremost In scientific researches, were the
first to attempt to measure time. Accord
ing TO their historical books, the Emperor
Fohi, who lived 1852 years before the COM
mencement of our era, studied the celestial
bodies with great attention. Eleven CEN
turtles before Jesus Christ a Chinese phi
losopher, Cheu-Kong, is said to have made
some observation of stars, bnt this asser-
ton is unsupported by reliable evidence,
and Delambre has cast serious doubts upon
it. The idea of dividing the day into
equal parts by means of the suns diurnal
motion, is very ancient, and the first con-
trivance Of the kind probably consisted Of
sticking a spear into plane surface. Arch
eologist are Of the opinion that the ODE
lisksIof the Egyptians were nothing more
than immense gnomons. Pliny informs
us that the first who ever erected any was
4 King of Palmyra, now Balbec, of the
name of Mitres.
Diogenes LHrtius attributes the inven-
ton of sun dials to Anaximander, b. G. 6lO,
but it is certain the gnomOn was shown be-
fore that period. Berosius, or Berheusha, a
Chaldean philosopher (B. G. 445,) con
structed one which he called "hemicycle."
Next in order follows AristarChus, Of Sa-
mos, (B. c. 26l,) who invented another,
consisting of hemisphere surmounted by
a disc. The lower extremity of vertical
pin was placed in the center Of a Sphere
segment; and a circular arc, divided into
several parts, marked the angle made by
the solar ray and the perpendicular. Fifty
years later, Eratosthenes used this instru-
ment, called scaPee, to calculate the earth's
diameter. During the fret Punic war
Marcus Valerous Messala found gnomon
at Catania. Tbickingit would do quite as
well at Rome as there he sent it to that
capital, and was rather disappointed on
learning that it would not answer. Twelve
years before our era, Marcus Msnilliu;
constructed sun dial in the Campus Mar.
thus. It consisted of an obelisk, surmount
ed by a guilt sphere, which marked thu
hours by means Of its shadows.

A DAUGHTER OF THE SLAYER OF GEN.
VAN DoRN.-The St. Louis Democrat of
Thursday last, contains the following para
graph 1t will be remembered that during
the rebellion, Gen. Van Dorm, of the Con
federate army, was killed at Nashville, by
DIR. Peters, for an alleged insult to his wife.
The affair cast gloom over the whole fam
lily of Dr.. Peters, although he was justified
by the law. DR.. Peters became a strict
church member, and received his wife back,
but never recovered from the gloom that
had overshadowed his life. Yesterday, his
daughter, beautiful and accomplished
young lady, arrived in this city for the
purpose of taking the veil and deyoting her
life to religious seclusion. She prefers liv-
ing at a distance from the scenes Of her
family misfortunes, aud in due time will
take the irrevocable VOWS of a nun.
