residence Of the English Minister, Sir Ed
ward Thornton, il quite charming in style
and appearance, though not exceedingly
large or handsome. Washington, unlike
many cities Of its size, has not several con-
secatiye blocks of handsome private resi-
dences, but one often finds quite palatial
residence surrounded by rows of common
Loyels.
The Arlington is the largest and most
fashionable hotel. It has no architectural
beauty. The dining-rooms are small, but
as they open into each other in suite OF
six or seven rooms, the effect is very good.
They are furnished plainly, though elegantly,
in oiled walnut, richly gilded, and covers of
drab and blue reps.
The Ebbitt House, less pretentious, but
perhaps more aristocraiic, is the rendez-
vous for Southern people. There are at
present in this hotel many distinguished
persons, and countless sprigs Of the Army
and Navy, who consider themselves quite
stunning in dress and person.
There are few hardware stores here, and
Pennsylvania Avenue is poorly built up,
AID is only celebrated, like the "Bridge of
Signs" at Venice, 1sr what it has at each
end.
They say here that the Southern people
never complain of prices, but that the Yam
KEGS win never buy anything in Washing
ton because everything is 80 enormously
high.
GEORGETOWN
is dirty, dingy old town, but is worth Wis
ting on account of its cemetery, which is
very picturesque, and a natural amphithe
atre for the dead. The convent is venerable
looking.
Upon the whole Washington, though con-
tanning the handsomest buildings in Ameri-
ca, is not handsome city. E. n.

Rapid Growth of Republication in Augusta.

Rapid Growth OF Rcpublicanism In Augusta.
WAYNEsBoRo, VA, Oct. Is, 1871.
To the Editor orthe State Journal:
A large and enthusiastic meeting of the
Republican party was held at this place on
Saturday, 18th. at o'clock P. M. The
meeting was characterized by good order,
and much harmony prevailed. The chair
man, in short, but pertinent, speech, de-
clared the object of the meeting to be for
the purpose of thorough organization,
after which several speeches were delivered
by prominent members of the party. A
series of resolutions was then adopted en-
dorsing the platform of principles laid down
and adopted by the convention held in
Richmond on the 9th of September, also
endorsing the administration of General
Grant, and recommending his denomination
for 1872.
The party here is increasing rapidly, and
we hope soon to be enabled to reduce the
enormous Conservative majority. At the
last election only five votes were polled for
the Republican candidate for Congress, and
we are now able to count at least one hum
bred and fifty, if not more. The desire was
strongly in favor of running candidate for
the Legislature from our ranks, believing
that by an earnest effort, even from old
Augusta we might be able to send dele
gate to the next Legislature.
