Washington yesterday. Attired as she was in
blouse and pants, with jaunty hat and stream
ing feather, her appearance upon the street at.
tracted large crowd of men and boys and
woman, too, with her characteristic curiosity,
struggled most industriously to obtain a sight
of one who has for some time past figured so
prominently in the public prints. At times
the crowd so encompassed the doctor" as to
impede her progress, and about three clock
she sought refuge in store on Baltimore street
near Hanover. Her absence from the streets,
however, did not disperse the impatient public,
and her temperance was greeted by a loud

to some three or four hundred, followed her
down Baltimore street, scanning with eaZerness
her singular costume, but INDUCING in no impro-

EF Capt. "ToT' ENGLANp's new
steam ferry boat, the Mary Ellen, ar
rived at our wharf last Thursday, and
was visited by large number of our cit
izens, who greatly admired her in all
parts Of her construction. She was built
at Stubensville, on the Ohio river, has
great strength, powerful machinery, and
runs equally as fast as the low water

class ferry boat, and probably the best
one On the river. Capt. ENGLAND has

run her, having two or three offers in

Prominent Radicals Of Tennessee write
here that the recent letters of Messrs
Boutwell, and Cresswell, so far from hav-
ing the effect of Strengthening the Stokes
party in that State, proved directly the
reverse; and the writer's assert that many
thousands who had intended voting for
Stokes, had, since the intermeddling OF
the two extreme Radical members of the
Cabinet, determined to vote for Senter.
The Republicans of tennessee did not
relish the dictation of Cabinet officials
and, as a further result Of the good the
Boutwell, and Cresswell letters accom-.
plished, it is stated that Andy Johnson's
