SOUTH WASHINGTON.


TROoPs INsPEcTED.-Tho monthly in
speetion of tho troops and equipments at
the Washington Barracks took place yos.
terday morning. The non commissioned
staff band, light battery, aud four heavy
batteries were reviewed and inspected by
tho commanding officer Of the regiment aud
post, General Ayres. The troops paraded
in full.dress uniform, and presented q very
iuo appearance. After the review the
quarters of the troops were also inspected,
and everything proved to bo in good shape.
THE RIVER Business DRIsK.-The river
businsss seems TO have fairly opened with
the good weather. Tho freight aud pas.
sepger lists of the Norfolk steamers this
morning were much larger than has been
for many trips back, aud both companies
think that the season has fully opened,
At the oyster wharf are large number OF
boats loaded with the bivalves the prices
Of which remain the same, while tho ar
rivals Of bunch fish, shad and herring, are
increasing daily. Many .haulers aud
gillers have already commenced removing
and renovating their nets on their respect
i've fishing shores, and as soon as the
weather becomes q little more settled, the
season will open. Some of the fishermen,
ON account of the backwardness Of tho
season, shake their heads and say that this
will be disastrous year to all engaged in
fishing; that the time for high prices has
passed, even though the catch is large. A
good season, however is expected by others
of the fraternity, who say the signs" arc
all favorable. 1t has been observed that
the years in which two full moons fell in
March could always be relied upon as good
fishing seasons and that this was theory
among many old fishermen. AS the moon
fulled few hours before the first day of
March and again Monday night, according
to this theory there should be plenty of
fish this year.

They say that Mr.. Buck ought not to bo
credited to Kentucky. He has only been
in the State about two years. He is Mis-
