Letter from Washington. A" letter from our most worthy Washington correspondent, "J. 11. dated July 23, 1SC3, wss accidentally mislaid, and therefore did not appear io tbe columns of the AwriiXin. It bas just "turned up and we baaten to give it to our readers: "... Washington, D. C, ) ; jcLYitf, 1863. ; i Air. Ediiort Io commoo with the whole country thia city ia passing through ft torm of very warm weather. It drawa heavily on the physical endurance of both man and beast. ' There have been many cases of sudden death from the combined effect of tbe beat and stimulating drinks. I have not known a case of sun-stroke disconnected from tbo combination. There might be snch, but the cases of recent oc ourreece prove that drunkards are in greater danger tba sober men. I do not make this, statement aa a warnlog to anybody, for of warnings there are enough already to relieve every ono from the evi's of this living death; but tbey are of no avail, and would not be if the dead added their experience. We have had bat little rain during the month. .Yesterday a good abower viaited tbo city and washed tbe burning streets but a little. Tlie country ia looking with interest at the action of Congress. Of all the im porfrrt legislation that bas been proposed, ihe great part has been delayed, or purposely postponed to the last of the session. Row Congress is baiily at work. Many of tbe members are "champing the bit" in their anxiety to get away and - to f ogsge in the politicsl strife thst promises to be active; yet they stay to complete

thtii. work here, that tbey may give a bet tcr account of themselves. The appropriation bills have all been passed, a'nd in these I: indicated the determination of Congresa tJ curtail the ex pensea of tbe Government ana thus accede to the demands of tbe people. llte that your neighbor io bis Isst paper charges Congress with having appropriated money to pay the clerks In Washington an extra compensation for their services. This is a mistake, but doubtless an unintentional one, as the proposition baa bceo before Congresa in varioua shspes, and once passed the House, but wss reconsidered snd killed. It might not be amiss to say that the Democratio members- of the Ilonse are, almost id a solid body, in favor of tbe mcssure. It is defeated by Reioblicsns. It would have been to tbe credit of Congress, and quite consistent with professions of retrenchment, if they bsd acted on their own extra pay aa they very properly did on the extra ray of other employes. While the people are so sore Iv tsxed to sustsin the Government, they should give sttention to the sction of their representatives in appropristing money. While tbey should not demand a niggardly policy, (hey should enquire what justification they bare jo 5 increasing their own compensation, as they have done, making their own psy in cold better than it was before the war., There msy be a reason for it, but a hesvily tsxed people will hardly see it. . As far as any policy bas been developed by Congress on the question of the psy ment of bonds, it is that neither psrty is committed to psy either in gold or green bscks. , Thst is a question that can have no praotical importance now, as no peraonräposas: to TPbenrfat all, except it bo ty bonds just authorized by the new funding bill, and these will not be paid until after forty years. This Question is therefore practically at rest, unless it be stirred up by demsgogucs for selfish pur poses. Ihe tszing of tbe bonds is a dif ferent question; but there is no advocate in Congress, of either party, to advise tety step thst will be a direct violation of law, breuch of faith, and repudiation of na tional obligation. Under tbe cealous lsbor of Mr. Julian, Chairman of the Committee on Puhlio Lands, there will be a new policy inaugu rated Min reference to the publio lands; and this will be a mstter, if be succeeds in his" purpose, worth millions of money to the country. He proposes to stop tho wholesale donation of our publio domain to rich monopolies, and even refuse it to speculators, tbst it msy be given on ee. terma to setual settlera. Should his po toy prevail, the working millions of the land will hsvo cauie ftf rejoice.

SCHYULER COLFAX. Enthusiastic Reception at South Bend. FpMlal Talagram to the Joaraal. . ... South Bend, Juit 30, The special train from Chicago arrived at one o clock, composed of twenty-seven cars, denicly pscked, contsining Mr. Colfax, Lieutenant Governor Dross, and other celebrities, the delegations of the Tannera' organizations, about five thousand strong, in uniform, tbe balance, of the escort being made ?p of citizens of Chicago, liberslly reinforced along the- route. The train and engine were gayly decorated, and at every station demonstrations were made by the people gathered, there. The moat marked demonstration, was at Laporte, where decorations were profuse. A csnnon waa vigorously employed and Mr. Colfax compelled to make a speech. The train left amid atorma of huzzas. Over one thousand would-be excursionists were unsble to find room in tbe traio, and were, per force, left behind. When tbe traio arrived in thia city Mr. Colfax - waa met by the Mayor, the Reception Committee, and the various Grant and Colfax Clubs, six hundred strong, of the city, and tbe ritisens generslly, who escorted him to tbe fair grounds, followed by the vast .recession in csrriages and on foot, tbe bands p.',yiP n tbe most vicarious manner. When Mr. CWax mountod the stsnd he wst receired fflth the moat copious and affectionate demonstrations of regard. The line of procesaioo was profusely decorated with fisgt, bsnn.;.. devices, Ac. Indeed, Mr. Colfsx hsd some difficulty in escsping from the afieotioaate crowd and reaching his carriage. . The Chairman of tbeCounty Committee, Mr. James Davis, caused two letters to be resd, one from Senator Morton and tbe other from Governor Bsker. The reading of thete letters elicited great applause. Following came the welcome address by Colonel Humphreys, Msyor of South Bend, welooming in becoming and feeling terms tbe return of Colfax to bia home. Mr. Colfax was visibly affected, and bia address, nearly of an hour's length, wss fervent and impassioned. No Comments were msde on political questions, the speaker deeming that not in good taste. A portion of his speech wss devoted' to- an expression of his appreciation of aad affection for that generous eoosistuency a a ' a among wnoru be nad grown to man s- es tate, and to whom he owed-his- att of pub' lio honors. The speaker sod hearerswere visibly affected, and it was nor di Biscuit to see men unused to tbe melting mood yielding perceptibly. The1 ttars csme not of grief, bpt of gladoese and deep feeling. The crowd around tbe speaker was fully 14,000, and was a most attentive and enthusiastio audience. Aftfrdinner Governor Brors, of Illinois, was introduced, and wss making an inter eating address whet a heavy and protracted rain storm put an emphatio quietus on the busy acene, and dispersed the audience for the bslance of the afternoon. - Tbe rain, which waa thorough and drenching, was suffered only to suspend, not to put a finis to tbe entbusissm of the people. The varioua Republican organizations here the German Grant, and Colfax club, tbe German True Lights, the American True Lights, the Senior and Junior American Grant nd Colfax clubs, etc., eto. began to get ready their lamps, and at about eight o'clock, duly uniformed with capes and lampa, and with not leu thao a thousand strong, paraded through tbe principal atreeta, while the private residences and business houses were quite extensively illuminated, and displayed the national colora in tbe great est profusion. 1 he proocsaion marched back to the publio squsre, where two monster meet ings were organized and held, one In tho Court House, and the other in the Opera Hall. Tbe latter meeting numbered about 2,000, and was addressed fiist by. Major William Willisms, the eloquent representative from tbe Tenth Indiana District, who gave a highly satisfactory answer to Mr. Hendricks' question as to what becamo of sundry bundreda and millions of dollara that he had been ao solicitous to know about. Mr. Colfax followed io a felicitoua speech of about ten minutes, aa follows: Ladies and Gentlemen: I suppose you think that I came here to make a speech, but you are somewhst dissppointed. 1 think it is a peculiarity of our American people, more than any other people in tbe world, that whenever tbey can find a man in publio life at a railroad station, on a railroad traio, or at a publio meeting, they insist thst he shell make ft apeecb. 1 have spoken to you so often in the yeara that are past in "fbia beloved city of South Bend, that I think you are weary of hearing my voice. Cries of "Never!' I have been making you political speeches, aod Sunday-school speeches, and lectures, Ac, ed infinitum, for many yeara past, aod I believe you have alwaya been willing to listen to me when I bad anything to say. You do not know bow I long in my heart to make ft politicsl spsecb to-niubt. fLauchter and cheers. If I could only Cave declined the nomination at Chicago, and have ap peared before you here aa a simple Repre sentative in Congresa, nothing more and nothing less, I should like to dissect the Democratio platform laughter and cheers from one end of it to tbe other: and aa I told you to-day, according to my convictions of propriety, which neither my in clinatioo nor your desirea will induco me to forfeit, I can not ooasistcntly, in - ac cordaaee with what I beliava ia due from ma to those who bare placed me in nomination before you. But there is one theme on which I can spesk. It is the glorious record of tha noble psrty of which, for so many years, I have been ao humble advocate; whose principles I uphold and maintain before you against all corner!; tbe anblest, tbe

purest and most pattiotio party ever known in our history since we were born into the family of nations. Thank God that, io thece daya of strife, we have bad vu orgatiiziition in this republic, of men who have lifted up ia tbe hour of gloom, w.hen the storm-cloud of war buret upon us, a banner with only one inscription on it "Our Country;" and there, defying all prejudice, all invective, all opprobrium, aod appealing to you, tba American people, to atand by us, and to determine to atand and fall with our imperiled country. Thank God for auch an orgaoizstioo. Cheers. Its history I written io the brightest pages of our ; country's. anrsls, and there it will remaio for tbe .eye of posterity to besm upoo it a history that the tooth of time can never, no, never destroy. When I pass away and am gathered to my fathers, if God gives me mied andm reason, in thst Isst hour, I will thank Him that he led ' me by bis own oven ants, into this' noble organisation. It saved i bstida in the my throci of ctvit war: it emancipated a race; it saved us from destruction, shame, and disgrace, before the civilized world, ao that wa could apeak before all the lands ander the ana. At last, every man that walks on American soil, walks there aa a free man io bis own humanity. Trcmendoua applause. In all their hours of disaster aod gloom, when men's hearts fainted by the way, there waa one party, every man of which stood around our banner, and never despaired of the- American Republic; and there is one organisation that, eioco.the armlet of the rebellion were crushed, hss demanded and intends to stand by that demand, God being our helper, to the exd' that loyalty shall govern what loyalty

has preserved. Great applauae.1 ' 'If again io thia Republio of ours treasoo dsres to lift its hand with revengeful pojrer against our nation's flag. It will not be the fault of the Republican party. If again anarchy ia to come; if again outrage is to stalk onreboked throughout our Republic; if again war, and blood-ahed, and drafts, and death, are to eome, it will not, be though the Republican party. We stand by peace; we atand by, liberty; we atand by justice; and we write vpon our banner where tho whole world may aee it in lettera of light, "From one end of this Republio to the other, there is no men so poor, there is no mso so friendless, there il uO men so bumble and so obscure tbst be can no J wrap lhat flag arouod him and say, this js my shield and protection." You may doubt the) result of this coming struggle. I do not; I believe we are to go again to victory as we' did In 1 864 and lbU3, because we have tbe .whole principle that humanity loves, that God in heaven will bless; and under the administration of the Great' Captain who, under Providence, saved the land from destruction, and the sword of treason from sundering the Republic, wesbsll attain to a pure end noble lame, wide as the world and eternal aa the stars. Tremendous spplause. The meeting closed with a speech by Mejon Plympion, of Michigan. This meeting was-of the moat enthusiastio de scription, and Mr. Coif?: was subjected to hand-abaking from 1 don't know how rnsuy hundred people. J he other meet ing, at the Court' IJouse, wss addressed by Hon. Cbarlea A. Clisby, a. Michigan State Senator who made a lormidabla arraignment of the Democratio party; and-elicited frequent applause. Thia day's fiatteiing demonstrations infavor of Mr. Col lax may be said to Lave just closed, though the streets are yet resonant with tnusio of tbe bands. Briefly summed up, thia day's business hss been a triumphant vindication of the claim tbst Mr. Col fix's hold on the sffectioasxof tbe people of this district is ss deep and fervent aa ever bound a publio msn to his constituents; it waa written all over with the impress of voluntsry irrepressible regard; not organized parade and boiaterous huzzas. It is worthy of note that the Germane here, of which thero is a considersble population, are deserting the Democratio raoka io almost an epidemical manner. The other day the. Chicago Timea ssid there were but fifteen Germsn Republicana in South De od. To brand tbe atatement a falsehood, a German club, 135 atrong. waa organised in thirty-six houra after the precioua piper containing tbe falsehood wss received here. Mr. Colfax'a last majority here waa about 600. It will not be less than 1,000 next autumn. - One of the striking features of the proceedings to day was the sppesrsnce in the procession of the German Grant and Colfax Ctob, numbering near 150 membera. The Key. Father Corby, President t the great Catholio Univeraity of Notre Dame, wss alto in tbo procession which escorted Mr. Colfax to the fair grounda. Mr. Colfax, accompanied by h sister, Miss Matthews, will leave here next Monday, on a visit to a sister living io Colorado, and will not retnrn before September. " ; t Julian Reld.
