THURSDAY MORNING...............APRIL 11 ======== THANKS are due Mr. Gilbert for late Mobile, and to Mr. Davis for Cincinnati and Louisville papers. ———<>——— CIRCUIT COURT.—The April term of the Circuit Court commenced on Monday last, Judge Parrett presiding. The Grand Jury was sworn, and the charge delivered to them on the same day, since which time they have been busy in investigating violations of the law and finding indictments; they will probably be in session the remainder of the week. Very little has been done in Court during the past three days of its sitting, except the taking of defaults, arguing demurers, and trying two or three cases appealed from Justices' Courts. It is due to the County Treasurer that the business of the Courts be pushed through as rapidly as justice to litigants and the <ease> of attorneys will permit. This Court has an almost unlimited time to remain in session by law, but may adjourn in three or four weeks. The number of cases on the docket is larger than for several previous terms, but the amount of business, we are informed, is not much greater than usual. ———<>——— HYDROPHOBIA.—The Richmond Broad Axe says a must distressing case of Hydrophobia occurred in Centerville on Monday last, resulting in death. Patrick Woodward, a worthy citizen of that place, was bitten by his own dog about one month previous. He suffered no inconvenience from the wound until about forty-eight hours before his death, when the disease was developed in all its terrible force. ———<>——— IMPORTANT CHANGE IN THE LAW.—Quite an important change has been made by the last Legislature, in reference to the testimony of witnesses in the Courts of this State. Under the new law, in most cases, the plaintiffs and defendants are all competent witnesses on their own behalf. The Circuit Court, now in session, in this city is practicing under this change. This practice has been followed for several years in several of the United States, and in England It is, we believe, an undecided question among loungers as to the propriety of this change in the long established practice of the Courts. In many cases it will, without doubt, promote the ends of justice, but very ofton, we fear, it will lead to perjury and defeat the rights of honest and truthful parties. ———<>——— Kaitorial Correspondence. Avence Hot'SK, "1 Washington, April G, '61. j Deaii Jocbsal: "Rumors of wars" abound in the Federal capital. The Administration seems to be gradually making their preparations for a policy looking to the determined carrying out of the laws, and the "holding, occupying, and possessing " of the forts and other public property belonging to the Government. This policy i? hailed with enthusiasm by ail true Union leave to-day "for the Gulf. Soldiers have been moving oCf from hero in great numbers, for sevenil dnya. There are a nnmlier of companies still Ic-'t, and they are under constant drill. The city seems almost like i a camp. Look where you mav, vou will see uniformed soldiers or marines, and everv day may ba liea!-;l on tho runible of artillery, the. tr streets the dull rap of infantry or the rapid patter of cavalry. " The glor ious xr " is here dju(5c- innnifest, to the gre:U nneasiiies-i of the puMic miud. Tbe peut-rnl impression is that f-erious trouble is does at haurl. 1 visited the W.is!iint;ton Monninent day bcib'..' yestcrdity. It is situated on " the Point," formed by the junction of the East and Wert branches ot the Potomac, over titramst the President's Ilonse, about half a mile distant. As one approach?? this Monument ito enormous size impresses tbe observer. It is not r.enr finished, yet ita preat dimensions are very impressive. It unil be about forty feet square at the base, and near C00 feet high. Its height now is 175 feet. Tue li-Rfi s "Off plain, but when completed there w ill be a temple-like structure surrounding it. It is built of white marble without polish. In a house near the Monument are stored a lare number of blocks of stone, etc.; presented by various states associations, fciid individuals to be place'd in tbe Monument. A number of these blocks are already placed in it walls. A few items in regnrd to the blocks in the buildliip; alluded to may be of some interest. The most beautiful block is from Tennessee. It is of a reddish stone, hijdilr polished and ornamented with pilded letters and design?. The motto ia "the Federal Union, it must be prcsei veJ." The block from New York -!3 0f ijnck marble, aud bus en it tho coat of arms, with the motto ;' Excelsior." The Vermont block is of white marble, and ha3 on it the coat of arms and the mot to " rreedom ana I nity." Michigan sends it block of native copper, polished on the face, and ornamented with her coat of arms overlaid with silver, with the motto "Michigan; an emblem of her trust in the Union." Minnesota donates a piece of red pipeclay. The coat of arms is cut on it, surrounded by the word " Minnesota," the latter half of the letters being but partly finished. The contribution was made before theS-ate was luliy iu the Union. But the ru he.il 3ight, and at the same time the coolest and most sarcastic, is the block presented by Louisiana. It is a greyish stone, and has ou it the pelican coat of arras, surrounded by the legend, " Louisiana; ever ftith'ul to the Constiiution and the Union !" What exquisite impudence there is in that block of monumental stone ! From Bunker Hiil there is a block of blue g-a.iii, bearing .a representation of the f,..-T TT11I M . rt.. nuna.fr n in .uouumeuu j nere 13 a piece I of hard sandstone from Braddock's Field j a Ur;re piece of" lava stone from Mt. Vesu- i vim a piece of black marble from Long j Isbind b.ittle-lield a piece of hard sand- i stone fpon Deseret, bearing a bus relief cf

a nee-n:ve surroundetj by a wreath of morn- I sell exclusively to wholesale dealers and inff p-Iories, and the words, "Holiness to the i jobbers, and we would advise our ruerLord." A block from the Cheiokee Nation j chants to lay in a supply, as we feel assured a b.'orl; of conglomerate rock, resembling i they will go off liko hot cakes.

Castile soap, lettered, "From the free Swiss Confederation to the memory of Washington." A beaautifu1 mass of a reddish, highly polished marble from Bremen, ornamented

leaf letters and brazen ornaments, & , ,,.,,j ; A niRs. nf nortihvrv from the Alexandrian Library in Egypt. A piece of original mosaic from the Temple of Carthage, supposed to have been found over 3,000 years ago. Also a piece of rough sculpture from tbe Temple of Augustus in Egypt, 3,000 years old. An hour can be passed very profitably in examining these gifts to perpetuate the memory of the Father of his Country. Other blocks of various kind3 of stone are on exhibition that were donated by Masonic, Odd Fellows, Temperance, and Literary Societies, Sabbath schools, dramatic artistes, Hebrew, Chinese, Turkish and Greek associations, and patriotic individuals. The work on the monument will be recommenced in the spring, but it is not probable that it will be completed for many years. The donations are not heavy, owing to the political troubles, and the hard times; and if this Capital is destined to fall into the hands of the Southern Vandals, the people of the North will not be anxious to volunteer any iuriuer umienm u to the work. Better for the Monument never to have been commenced if it is not to be completed, or if completed it is to grace tbe capital of a slaveholding confeder acy. .- I alluded in my la3t to the bidding and letting of the new loan. Two suggestive fact?;I think I omitted to mention, viz : that over lour times the amount was lid for that was advertised; that is $8,C00,0G0 was the amount of " the loan1 authorized, while $33,000,000 w.ei-e bid (or. The other fact is, tliat John A. I'ix. the late Secretary of the Tr. nsnnf u. .1. $25,000 at 94 cts. ou the $1. Thia" "mauiK-tfta the strong confidence reposeJ ui the Government by a man who is posted ts to its capabilities. Right opposite the Avenue House is the Central Market: There are two others the Western find thu Jiorthern but tue firsji mentioned , is the principal one. Market is held on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, and holds alt the forenoon. The attendance is very numorous. A stroll through this market is highly interesting to a stranger. It combines the mercantile business of Washington in miniature. Almost even-thing can be bought there. It is emphstk'r.Ey multuie in j pariu. Xnere are Silvia ji.t ueau lucius, ' salted meats, smoked raeafs, green vegetables, fish, butter, chcer, r-rtad f-nd cakes, refreshments, meal and Rout, dried fruits, trinkets, tropical fruits,"; rottft-ctiocarics, tin ware, queens vare, Uovcvrace, earthenware, and a hunred other articles cccdud in housekeeping. The market buildipgs are exposed of two pretty substantial, eiigioccd. market, houses, one long open market bause, a fish market, and scores of sliailipi and" booths erected by private parties. There is hardly a neatly kept stall or booth iu tho whole concern. A walk through tho meat luarkct is disgusting. Many of the stills are 'tended by dirty, greasy darkies, who handle the meats without the slightest regard to neatness and cleanliness. It don't seem that the market is ever scoured or scrubbed. A great portion of it i3 open and exposed to tho clouds of dust driven into tvery, opening by the violent winds which sweep up the Potomac. The country teams that come in remind one of " Old Virginny." Tuf bring in five or six dollura worth of "truck," the services of a big ox wagon, two yoke "of 6teers, aud about three niggers are required. The profit in such instances is '-'all in your eye." But I suppose the old fogy farmers are satisfied and other persons ought to be. Prices ia the market range, according to the answers to my detailed inquiries, from ten to fifteen per cent, above Evansville toes at $1 to 5?1 2T per bush.; apples $1 per bush ; beef, choice cuts, 12 cts. per lb.; roasts 10 cts.; turnips 37j cts. per bush.; turkeys $1, that fell with us for 60 to 75 cts. Fish sell quite cheaply. They do hot sell by the pouu j, as with us at home, but at so much apiece or bunch. The "prevailing" kinds for sale are shad, rock, ( a kind of hassl. hr1 rin? R"d ?els. s lire n sinpie uisiuuuon nere, and cheap a3 any one could ask. There is an establishment that is much patronized bv lovers of the bivalves, where they are put sheh lind all, into a basket and boiled and then opened and !asoud to the euter's taste. A bushel, with the " trimrninps)" cost3 only 50 cents, and tbey have a very delicious taste, cooked, as tbey are, in their own liquor. The oysters one gets here are greatly superior in flavor to the best we can get away from the. seaboard. The flavor is necessarily impaired by putting them, up in cans for transportation". . Cabinet meetings are now held regnlnrlv on Tuesdays and Fridays, aud special meetings are called generally every other day in the week, except Sunday. " The sittings are very protracted. It"is understood that highly important business, in relation to onr na tional troubles, engages the attention of the President and hi3 advisers. . Near the Capitol, is a square of ground devoted to the uses of a conservatory. There are several green-housca, one cf which is devoted to the growth of imported plants of the rarest descriptions. One house is devoted entirely to geraneuma, another to roses, another to dahlias, etc. Plants of rare varieties are distributed over the country on the order of Congressmen. In this "way new varieties are diffused. Great care is taken iu training plants and flowers, by experienced botanists. A visit is delightful to a lover of floral beauty. It is astonishing to think that the old terms " penny," " tip," aud ' levy :' are still in vogus here.-. Change is made to a copper, strictly. Articles that with us would cost the even half-dime or dime, here bring six or twelve cents, which are rigorously required to the odd "penny." It seems to be well understood here that the President intends to live up to the policy enunciated in his Inaugural, and that Fort Pickens is to be reinforced. I have never believed that Sumter wonld be abandoned, and it wouldn't surprise me to here of a reinforcement of even that fortification. They talk about its evacuation being a " military necessity !" How do they know till they have tried to reiuforce it? When luey try ana urn, it wiil tueu bu time to evacuate. The Southern Commissioners are still here sowing treason amongst all who will listen to them. Somebody is doubtless breeding dissatisfaction and disloyalty in the minds of the U. S. troops here", for 2S0 of them have deserted within a month ! Yours, J. H. McN An advertisement will be found, in 'vt proper place, of some new improvements in Neck Tics. Samples of these new tie3 reached us yesterday, by mail, and we must confess they are about as convenient, com fortable and pretty as anything of the kind we ever saw.

Williams, the agent for this " business man's friend," called on us yesterday, booked us for another year, and left with us copies of " Paddock's Gold aud Silver Coin Chart Manuel," and hi3 " Mirror Descriptions of all Genuine Bank Notes." Mr. Williams informs us that he has had capital success in our city in renewing old subscri bers and obtaining new ones. This we were not surprised at, for Paddock has become in a manner a necessity, and business men as much calculate on renewing their subscrip tions when their year is up, as they would to lay in a new supply of flour when the stock on hand became exhausted. In these times, when banks are going under in every direction, it becomes men to keep posted, and a3 experience is a dear school, it is best for all willing to learn in any other, to sub scribe for Padlock's Mirror. Pat as Yoc cb. During one of the ses sums of Congress, when the House of Rep resent&tives seemed to have nothing in par ticular before it, the eccentric John Kan dolph arose, and in his squeaking tones ex claimed: " Mr. Speaker, I have discovered the way to get rich ; it is, ' pay as you go,' and took his seat.
