OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
wAsuIxeroN, D. G. Oct. %, ISIS

WASHINGTON, D. @. Oct. 90, 1851.
Yorktown has been the central point during
a part of the week and Washington was for
the time pretty much deserted by its officials
and celebrities. For several days the coming
and going of troops en- route, and the arrival
here of various Governors and their stats,
filled the city with strangers and enlivened our
streets, to say nothing of the hotel corridors.
The old Potomac has not presented such a gala
appearance before during my sojourn at the
Capital. All the steamers on the river, with
several Navy vessels, profusely decorated with
bunting, have gone up and down the river
loaded TO the water line with human freight.
The President and Cabinet, Army and Navy
officers, Senators, Congressman and foreign
diplomats were among the passengers. Along
the river front and about the harbor flags have
been displayed while the unusual stir and the
beating of drums almost suggested actual
preparations for war.

the following;
TO the Pubic The trial of Guiteau is
fixed for November Z. The short time

"He attempted to lecture on religious

that connection who can, If they will,
furnish evidence of his insanity. Will
they not do so in the interests of patriot

triotism, because if he is hung as an
insane man, it will be an eternal blot on
our history; justice, so that it may not
be said hereafter that he, being deprived
by Heaven of the guidance of reason, was
put to death, contrary to all law, human
and divine; humanity and mercy, that
should prompt the laying aside of pas
sion, and dealing with this case in
