A TRAIN of twelve emigrant wagons passed through the city yesterday, bound for the West.

THE coining winter is likely to be an unusually gay season in this city. All the old dancing clubs, and some new ones, are preparing for an active campaign.

IT is a waste of money to support such miserable street lights as serve to "render darkness visible-' along our thoroughfares. They need a vast dual of soap and water, at least.

SOME lazy people, who fancy tiiey are sick, should remember that sawdust-pills, would cllectually cure many of the dis eases with which mankind is alllicied, if every patient would make his own saw dust.

SrniEN" DEATH.—An old colored man, named Kussel, father-in-law of Washington Bass, of l'.igdad, with whom he was living, retired to rest on Wednesday night, after doing a hard day's work, and was found dead in his bed yesterday morning.

I E new puddling furnace', at the nail works, go into operation to-day, adding largely to the producing capacity of the establishment, and giving employment to quite a number of additional men.

Inn GI.APS WORKS commenced operations, according to programme, yesterdav A large number of ladies and gentlemen were present to see the work inaugurated, all of whom expressed their delight at the noval spectacle of glass-blowing in Terre Haute.

THERE are still some mean and cowardly persons who are foolish enough to imagine that they can attack the characters oftheir neighbors through anonymous publications in the newspapers. Such attacks are sent, through the Po-toftice, to our office, almost daily, and furnish painful evidence of the depravity of "poor human nature."

"MESSRS. DICKSOS AND LEAKK, of the Indianapolis Academy of Music, were in the citv vesterdy and made a propo.-ition to the officers of the Opeia House for the occupancy of that splendid Temple of the Drama dining the opening week. No cor.ciu.-ion was arrived at, and will not be int.il the next meeting of the Board .vhich occurs on Monday.

PROFESSOR IIASSEJ.MAYEK'S first enter­

tainment in this city will be given at Dowling Ilall to night. Seats for this or to morrow evening may be procured at the Postoffice Lobby. The Professor is spoken of by the press, in many cities, as a magician of the highest qualifications. The musical part of the performance, and the exhibition of trained birds are -aid to be excellent.

JJCRGLARY.—About one o'clock yestertcrday morning the residence of D. D. Condit, at the corner of Eagle and Seventh streets, was entered by one or more burglars who succeeded in carrying off— without alarming the family— a gold watch worth 8100, and some $25 in -money. Some articles of clothing were found, where the thief or thieves had dropped them out of doors, in the morning. Entrance was effected by the back door.

Court Items.

The case of Gunman vs. the I. & St. L. Hail road is set for tiial in the Circuit Court to day, before Judge Scott, Judge Patterson being absent from the city.

In the Municipal Court, yesterday, there was but one case, that of a drunken "dead beat," who was permitted to "git," without line or other penalty. He traveled.

Waters, the wife beater, has taken an appeal to the Criminal Court and given bond. This lets him out of jail and probably ends the case, as Mrs. Waters will not be likely to appear against him. Ho conies off loo cheaply.

":I CAN'T ifford to marry' gentleman,

was the re­

mark of a young gentleman, in our sanctum yesterday—"can't think of it on my salary of SI,200 a year." And yet we remember that his father married a poor girl when their combined income was less than $400 per annum and they prospered, living amid plenty and dying stirrounded by all that serves to sweeien old age and illuminate "the dark valley." "Can't afford to marry!" Stuff and nonsense! If a girl is fit for a wife, you can "aiiord to marry" her on even less than twelve hundred dollars a year. These highHying notions of the expense of matrimony, this idea that a young married couple must have an income such as few men can hope to secure, except at the end of a long and successful business career, is the fruitful cause, of many of the grave ills that afllict modern social life. And unless social reformers can find a remedy, people of American descent will soon be "snowed under" by the thrifty descendants of foreigners who can and do "afford to

Mr. Wm. Sehaffer showed us yesterday a piece of a shell that he picked up at Kehl, opposite Strasbourg. It was thrown over from a French fortification.

Henry P. M. Girkinbine, of Philadelphia, and T. T. Woodruff, President of the Xorristown Iron Works, a gentleman who formerly resided in this city, are in the city, as the representatives of a system of water works, and "talking up their plan with the city officials and otli er prominent citizens.

FATAL RAILROAD ACCIDENT.—Ycsteiday afternoon a rumor reached the city that a fatal collission had occurred on the Yandalia road. We made every possible effort to learn the facts in the case, but the officers of the road being absent, it was not easy toobtain reliable informationTracing down rumors and sifting conllict ing statements, as much as is practicable, we have this version of the affair, which is at the present writing believed to be ubstantially correct: The early morning passenger train, going West frsm this city, arrived at Greenville, thirtyfive miles from St. Louis, about noon. At the same time, a train of empty cars, coming this way, arrived at that place. The latter train should have taken the side track, or switch, in the usual and proper manner but instead of doing so, it attempted to come forward far enough to back- on the side track. Before this could be effected, the passenger train camc around the curve, at that point, and the two engines collided with a fearful crash, wrecking them both badly.

Gut the wreck of property was not the worst feature of the disaster. The Messenger of the Adams Express Company, on the passenger train, a young man named Meshan, recently from the State of Now York, wis killed, and Michael Kennedy, baggigemin, was injured, to what extent, we are not informed.

It is probable that our dispatches may contain full particulars of this sad occurrence. which may not be so bad—and may be worse-*-than we have stated. It is not easy to make an authentic report from street rumors,and we give the above only as rumors, carefully sifted, with no purpose of reflecting on the Railroad Company, or any of its employes. It will be ample time to bestow censure or praise—as the case may require—when all the facts are known.

LETTE11 FROM THE CITY EDITOR.

A VIEW FROM THE CAPITOL.

Si? WASHINGTON, I). C., Oct. 21, 1870. Of what shall a green Hoosier, on his

The sides of the rotunda are decorated with pictures whose worth may be questioned in an artistic point of view, but whose history is invaluable. The lloor of the rotunda, about one hundred feet in diameter, is entirely bare, with nothing to obstruct the vision except the crowds of people constantly passing and repassing. It is the great, broad highway lead ing to either branch of Congress, as well as to the destruction of many an officeseeker's hope. The dome, which is wholly of cast iron, rises to the hight of three hundred and ninety-six feet, and is only four feet less than St. Paul's Cathedral, London, and thirty-six feet less than St. Peter's at Rome. By easy stairways we make the ascent, and from the commanding position it affords, spend half an hour looking down upon the grand view presented. To the east are seen the pleasant valleys of Maryland, doted over with cottages, private villas and farm houses, interwoven with which are bright streams of water. To the west the eye takes in the broad plains of the Old Dominion, grand and beautiful. Between these landscapes are the placid waters of the broad river—of which we used to have the daily telegram—"All quiet on the Potomac."

At our feet is the city of Washington, with its massive and imposing public buildings. The glory of Washington is its public buildings. They surpass anything to which the American eye has been accustomed, and beside the other houses of the city loom up like moun tains upon the plain. Looking to the West, at our right are the Postoffice and the Patent office buildings—the latter stored with countless hundreds—yes thou sands of models of patents. Just think of the amount of intellectual labor which those thousands of patents indicate think of the amount of whittling done in Ver mont, and Massachusetts and Connecticut These inventions range, of course, from playthings for children, spool racks and apple parers, to improvements in armor plated vessels, heavy ordnance and steam engines.

A stroll, which we took afterwards through the halls of this building exhib ited the labyrinthine workings of the human brain more clearly, if possible, than the shelves of the largest library. Each book in the Patent Office is open before one, and each leaf may be read as you pass.- Little intellects produce little in ventions—so do large intellects, but they do it in their hours of recreation. Every degree of mental power is as fully exhib ited in those glass cases as in the great library. Every condition of mind, too, is shown. Wc have the great crude inven tion, original, imperfect, useless and we have the same machine improved, the work of the more laborious, the more cunning, but the less vigorous and less powerful brain. So, too, we have the thousand little inventions of minds devoted to details, and which never rise beyond the ingenuity which multiplies apple parers and patent buttons.

Turn now to the left and towards the river is that grand contribution to the scientific world, the Smithsonian Institute, in which the lover of the rare and the antiquated may spend hours, examining the valuable specimens stored therein

To the west of the Smithsonian is a huge pile of stones, with a tower looking like an unfinished lighthouse. In answer to the inquiry what this uncouth pile was intended for, the visitor will be surprised to learn that it is the far famed Washing ton monument. The fund has been exhausted and here is what the Association have given for the many dollars that have been dropped into the thousands of places of deposit throughout the country. The monument was to be some six hundred feet high, surrounded by beautiful columns, but here it stands, an unsightly

pile of stone, less than two hundred feet high, with no inscription to mark it as a tribute to one so justly claiming the homage of his people.

Away up at the end of the long Avenue we view the magnificent proportions of the Treasury Building, wherein the great American financial system was conceived, and wherein, during four critical years of the nation's life, ways and means were provided for its salvation from which vast rivers of wealth flowed to bless the soldier's wife, the toiling artisan, the clerk, the farmer, the manufacturer— everybody, in short, who with arms, with hands, or with brain, was doing his share in the noble work of strengthening the Republic. This monster building is a city in itself—having a force of clerks and employes that would make a formidable looking army—at least in numbers.

Just beyond is the White House,which was intended for a rural residence for the President, but has, by the march of events, become surrounded by dwellings

and stores. It is not such a dwelling as befits the President of a great nation like this.

A short distance to the vest are situated the buildings for the War and Navy I Departments. What solemn memories cluster around those dark looking piles.

first visit to Washington, write that will Here were planned great battles, upon be of interest to the readers of the Ex PRESS—in what words can an intelligible idea of the Nation's Capitol be compressed into a single column—how tell of the sights that are to be seen in a three days visit? However, nothing can be done without- a commencement.

the issue of which depended the fall of a great country. From these dark portals have gone forth many a message of life and death many a time has a courier been dispatched from these gates to bring back for correction and reproof the recusant or recreant servants of the people.

We start from Willard's Hotel—a grea^ Many a time and oft have the silent inn, perhaps better known than any hotel wires within these walls thrilled the world with their tidings of weal or woe to the cause of freedom. Here the indomnitable, hard-working, never-tiring

in the country. What an army of distinguished names are recorded on its register running back over a period of a quarter century? These volumnes contain the most valuable autographs in the country. Entering a street car we bowl along the great Pennsylvania Avenue toward the Capitol, which looms up like a giant extinguisher placed at the end of the long and broad street to put out any lesser light that may approach it.

Arm in arm, linked with the reader, we soon find ourselves at the foot of the maible staircase that leads into the rotunda. We ascend, the long, but easy flight of steps, and find ourselves underneath the dome. We have just left Nature's handiwork—the earth, the vaulted sky, the horizon's edge—but a miniature picture of the same is now around us, a little world of art, called intoexistenceby man, its conception an imitation of the great Creator. We cast our eyes three hundred feet skyward buoyancy, ethereality, sublimity everywhere.

Staunton has sat through the long night ofour troubles, his ear turned to catch the slightest whisper from the field, his finger upon the magnet, ready in an instant to flash to distant points the needful order, or the cheering news—waiting patiently, hopefully for the blessed dawn. Here, too, was seen the lamented Lincoln, wan and pale from watchfulness and anxiety, in almost hourly consultation with the Secretary, ever and anon sending trembling people words of encouragement and hope. He passed from us in the very hour when his countrymen were making his heart glad with their grateful recognition of his worth—in the very hour when the aspiration's of the great man's soul had been realized, and the demon of discord had been crushed to the earth but the memories which cling to the places where he dwelt will never fade.

To our back is the Navy Yard, and upon that extreme southern!}* point, is the Arsenal, situated within beautiful grounds, and within whose walls the assassins were tried and executed.

Gut we must- come down from our lofty perch, for this letter is drawing to a greater length than we intended. It is, we confess a rather disconnected, rambling sort of kaleidoscopic view, but it is penciled and we send to the reader for what it is worth. We have made no detailed description of the buildings, which could easily have been done by using one of the many guide books on sale.

We have just returned from a trip to Alexandria, Virginia, eight miles down the Potomac. The trip by water is a very pleasant one. Landing at the pier we passed directly up town, by the Marshall House, where the gallant but rash Ellsworth was foully murdered, and on to the principal object of our visit, an old Episcopal Church known as "Washing ton's Church. It wasbuiltinl7G9-acentu ry ago—of brick brought from England! Inside, the church is neat and commo dious The pews have kept step with the progress of the age. All the old square ones have been replaced with slip.of the modern form, with the sole exception of the one once occupied by Washington. That has been preserved as he occupied it, and was to us an object of great interest. The Confederate Geneaal Robert E Lee was a member of this church, and it is now draped in mourning for liis death. The stores and private residences throughout the city are also heavily draped for the same purpose. The Sexton of the old church informed us that only the Democrats paid this mark of respect for his memory, and from the very general display of crape and black muslins we are of opinion that there arc very few Republicans in Alexandria.

In the church yard are many ancient tombstones, with inscriptions as interesting as they were sometimes amusing.

The oldest stone in the cemetery is made of well preserved slate, with the inscription "Here lies the body of Mr. Joseph Pierce, born in Boston, son of Isaac Pierce, distiller, who departed this life March 20,1771."

A large horizontal stone has the inscription: "Here lies the remains of Mrs. Elizabeth Davis, the late-consort of the Rev. Thomas Davis, Rector of Fairfax. She /s related to sereral of the most respectable funUie.i of Virginia and Maryland!" There's vanity and family pride for you

A large sand-stone slab, broken off at the foundation, has this singular inscription: "Erected to the memory of Eleanor, the ninth wife of Mr. Daniel ron, who departed this life on the 8th day of April, in the year of our Lord 1793, aged 32 years." What a marrying man Was Daniel Wren.

We might give other interesting and unique specimens from this old graveyard, but this letter is already too long.

To-day we go to Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York, from some of which points "perhaps you will and perhaps you won't" hear again from r. s. w.

THERE are a number of young gentlemen in this city—and a few young ladies —who should solemnly pouder on this warning, from the pen of Charles Reade: "No man and no woman is safe who has once formed the habit of looking to drink for solaec, or cheerfulness, or comfort. While the world goes well, they will likely be temperate but the habit is built, the railroad to destruction is cut ready for use, the rails are laid down, the station houses are erected, and the train is on the line waiting only for the locomotive it comes to us it grapples us, and away Are go in a moment down the line we have been constructing, like a flash of lightning, to destruction."

INTERESTING TO LADIE1.

IN

this rapid age it is absolutely necessary for ladies to keep «u courunt of what is passing in tho world around them.

For this purpose, no medium is so good as a first-class magazine. We recommend to ladies, who desire one, useful and sensible as well as fashionable, DEMURKST'S ILLUSTRATED MONTHLY as the very best parlor periodical that we know.

It is mere complete in its departments than any otherIts fashions are more unique, because they are authentic and original, and not blind copies of French and German models.

It gives with everj* number full sized patterns, weich supply, during the year, all that any lady needs lor the cutting of her own and her children's wardrobe.

It is always high-toned, and its contributors include some of the best talent in the country.

The Ladie*' Club aflords valuable and interesting information upon every subject. It is the best magazine for the utilities and and ornamentation of thelliousehold the best magazine for floriculture, original music architecture, an.i other topics interesting to ladies—all calculated to assist in making our homes attractive and happy.

It is the most enterprising of all magazines and gives more than twice as much for the money.

It also offers a largo and magnificent Parlor Steel Engraving 28 by 35 inches entitled "The Pic-nic on the Fourth of July," valued at $10X0, to each subscriber as a premium.

The engraving is all done in line and stipple, from the original painting by Lilly M. Spencer, and besides the copyright, cost over seven thousand dollars, and is acknowledged by artists to be the most perfeet and beautiful large engraving ever issued in this country. Certainly 810,00 will not procure another that combines so much interest and beauty.

Or, it offers a fine Chroino worth S5,0fr, and other premiums, worth more than the cost ot the magazine, to each subscriber, post free, and extraordinary premiums for clubs.
