Economy tn THE Wan DEPARTMENT.—Gen- eral orders No. 57, for the War Department, direct that in view of the limited appropriations granted by Congress for the expenses of the Var Department for certain purposes, ali ex- penditures for building material and the con- struction and repair of buildii which require to be paid from the appropriation for barrack: and quarters for the current fiscal year be sus- pended, and that no further expenditures be made for these purposes until the beginning oi | the next fiscal year. It is aiso ordered that all civilians employed upon the construction and repair of such buildings be discharged, and en- listed men so employed be relieved from such duty, until further orders; and that the pay oi extra duty men rg oe upon such construc- tion and repair of buildings, which may be a charge upon the appropriation for incidental expenses of the quartermaster's department. ee cease from the date of the receipt of this order.

The Botanical Garden not being under the charge of Gen. » the avenue could not be continued through it, but there is no doubt Congress will grant the neces sary permission to do 8 as soon As the work now in 1s finished. At 6th street west, where the avenue crosses the railroad track, an orna- mental elevated iron bridge is to be erected by the railroad company, beneath which the trains will pass, all da thus js | avoided. The avenue at int will be changed a@ little course, a new roadway constructed 30 or 40 feet north of the preseni one, which will be abolished. THE MONUMENT SQUARE. The embankment on the south side of Meri- dian avenue, in the Monument square, is to be eut down and the earth deposited in the depres- sion on the east tront of the monument. It ix estimated that it will cost about £50,000 to put these grounds in complete order, but the appro- priation this eae is only $5,000, hence they cannot be put in good condition for a year or two. The cost of draining the grounds will be comparatively light, as there is a natural drainage; but and water should be intro: duced, and walks and drives constructed, which improvemeuts will require at least the amount above mentioned. General Babcock in making the improvements first introduces the drainage. then the gas and water, and then the trees and shrubbery. AN ARTIFICIAL LAKE in the Monument grounds will be another at- traction, It will be located on the east side of Meridian avenue, and a short distance north of the monument. There is a natural depression inthe ground here, and twoor three good springs of water therein. With a little excava- tion a beautiful Iake of four or five acres cau be formed. The White Lot, south of the Executive man- sion, has already been improved, but it will be some time before it can be finished, as some 25,000 cubic yards of earth will be required to complete thé grading. THE PROPAGATING GARDEN will soon be removed from the locality now oc- cupied by it, at 3d street and Missouri avenac to the Monumental grounds. Congress appro priated $3,000 for this purpose, and the new site selected for it is south of Meridian avenue, near the river im a triangular space of six or eight acres being well suited for it. Quite a large number of trees and shrubs have already been removed to the new site, and worknien are now engaged in laying the neces- sary drain pipes preparatory to removing the jot houses which will be done in a few weeks. The site now occupied by the —— will be thrgwn into the park. The garden belonging tothe Agricultural Department, on Missour avenue, between 4 and 6th streets, be removed to the grounds of that Dejiart ment, and that site will also be turned over to General Babcock to be added to the park. ARMORY SQUARE, The appropriation for this square was 85,600, and this-sum wil! be expended fn completing the graifiig, setting out trees, making walk’, &e. An effort will be made to put the post and chain fence around it, as well as all other res- ervations from the Capitol to the Executiv« Mansion, as soon as possible, but it will prob- ably require another appropriation to comple! thisimprovement. Thesquare has already been thoroughly drained, and Potomac water intro: duced, so that any part of the ground cau b: watered with a fifty-foot hose. IN THE SMITHSONIAN GROUNDS at least 10,000 feet of drainage pipe will be re- quired, and especial attention will be given to the improvement of the southern part of the rescrvatton, heretofore entirely neglected. Sou: of the trees will be taken ym the northern part, where they are now very thick, and re- moved to the sonthern. New walks will b« opened, but as the appropriation for these grounds is only £10,000, itis not probable that much can be done towards enclosing them. The estimate for completing the improvement there fs about $23,000, THE CIRCUS LOT, on 6th street, and the adjoining small reserva. tions, have received some attention already and an additional appropriation of $5,000 wat There issome grading to be done in these squares, which will be com- menced soon, and they will be brought up to the required grade. JUDICIARY SQUARE. ‘The amount appropriated for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1874, for this square was 310,000 and with £12,500, appropriated for the present fiscal year, will be put in good order. One of the first works will be to enclose it with'a post and chain fence, and as soon as the buildings there- on shall be removed, the square will be graded, walks laid out, gas, water and drai pro- and duecd, trees planted, &c. The walks will’ ali be of concrete, carriage-ways grav- eled. The buildings on the square, now occu pied by the Women’s Christian Association, are to be sold, and the proceeds given to that asso- ciation, but the District government is to make provision for the association, which eannot be done until the meeting of the legislature. As soon as new quarters are provided for the asso- ciation the buildings will be removed, and the improvements on the square commenced. FARRAGUT SQUARE is nearly finished. As soon as the weather per- mits, the concrete footwalks will be laid. The fiag footwalkson the outsideof the square are now —— under direction of the board of public ‘ks. General Babcock has already Lappe the trees and shrubs in Se. and in a few weeks it will be an ve Spot; $5,000 was appropriated for its completion.

In the circle on Pennsylvania avenne, near Georgetown, in which the Washington statue ix located, the walks will be renewed and concrete substituted for the gravel ones now in nse. In Lafayette square alone there were some 8,000 feet of drain pipe laid last Shen and it will be seen by this fact that the matter of drainage alone is a very important and expensive one. ——___ - 202 —— AN AWFUL DISASTER. of the Atlantic With The steamship of the White Star line, whieh between New York and Liver. Pool struck a rock asshe was making her way to’ Halifax harbor yesterday morning, ani went down, carrying with her to the bottom of the ocean more than seven hundred souls. She left Liverpool on the 20th of March, and the weather being tempestnous, she used up her Ser. The captain determined to put ‘m to Halifax and £ enough of coal to take the vessel to New York. The pilot seems to have been unacquainted with the tortuous channel, and in the gray twilight, while passengers and crew were asleep, the vessel struck Meagher’s Rock, beat against it for a minute or two. then turned over on its side, and went down with all its precios freight of hnman souls, save those who clung to the ing, and the courageous tew who kept themseltes afloat on pieces of the wreck. About two hundred and iifty escaped to that portion of the rock which projected from the water, but the rising tide soon rendered their position as perilous as before. Happily the fishermen who live on the shore near by saw them and came to their rescue with their boats. Only the strong men and expert swimmers were saved. Every woman and child on board went down with the ship. All the books were lost, and the names of many of the steerage passen- gers who perished wil! never be known until “the sea gives up her dead.” The Atlantic was a splendid iron vessel, about 430 feet in length, and carried five masts. She had been in com- mission about two years, and wasone of the most popular of the European steamers. STORY OF A SURVIVOR. Third Officer Bray states that he got his boat ont, and put two women init.

Scott, esq., being command- er-in-chief on the one side, and John W. Gar rett, esq., on the other. The Mount Pleasant Branch, ‘the bone of contention,” is chiefly valuable to Mr. Garrett's company on account of the tacilities which it affords for the trans- portation of coke to the main branch from the Coal hills of Westmoreland county.
