November 10, 1833, | Richmond is by il t tant from Washington city. Ay 116 miles dis Twenty yoars Ao it was as distant as eternity to more «h.m 100,000 mon, The fare torday is 84, I\ once cost hundreds of millions to got thero. The fast mail makes the distance It cost as casily in four hours now. many years twice two decades ago. And, oh! the large beauty of the landscape as you glide out of Washington city across the broad, tranquil Potomac; the stately edifice on Arlington heights (Lea’s home); the stupendous dome. of the Federal Capitol fading away like & cloud as you disappear down the Potomae toward the butial place, and still further on the bicth- place, too, of George Washington, You Deceut | aps of | are glad to get out of the depot. enough it is except for the | knock-kneed, bow-legged, and alto ther | rone-to-pieces colored men, tumbling and hobbling, falling, fighting, brawling iu & 7y sort of way about. the broad doors of the brick edifico. But. its pregence, tho | insolent - presence - of this depot in tho,| hoart of our ocuntry’s: capita, is such au impertinence that yow get: mad at the sight of it and remain so till you get out of sight of it. A GRASPING CORPORATION, You Kee, this railrond company asked permission only'to temporarily enter this beautiful city and set down and receive passengets till they could look about and buy a suitable ‘place fora depot. Well, having got this much permission, they sat down to stay and they built this substai tial brick and gray-stone structure as if they owned tho city. But, perhaps, as they own congress, or a large majority of it, that is all they desire. And now permit mo to make this prophecy right here that somo day soon not ten years hence, the people of t United States will rise up and tak this and all similar tands back from the thieving, grasping ronds. The fi | man who moves in this inatter suc fully will find his feot set solidly on the stepping-ston to the presidency of these United States. This railroad compan which carries congréssmen free, of course, has set up a little marble eagle above the spot in - this dépot where Geue - field was shot, A little brass s| was plated with silyer—marks the spot where the president’ fell when shot. It is u good advertisement for the com- pany. FREDERICKSDURG. And now, with Arlington Heights fad- ing away on the rightand the dome of the Capitol rounding its hugo shoulders in the rear, let us dash on through dull and grass-grown Alexandria to Fredericksburg on the low, sandy banks ‘of the narrow Rappuhannock. ~This is a crooked, slug- gish, dirty, stream, narrow enough for a boy to pitch a stone across it, and ns y low, most of the time, as the tail-stream of a miner's sluice. ~ One would ha thought on reading the ncluuwmunm General Buruside the river of some imy burg has never bec i » little way from the ings of the railroad you se But up the rty surround- ' good many I,' proverbial, T n | tar, T earnpstly beg to call | world has |'confederate capital. o [ Mille, DECE ‘\h.l~ K1, 1883, od not ol\h that: | could n¢ ing too much ¢ | been accustor e & Vol \ l'\w.q»v[u | of the perished cdpital con © as the paradise of the duelist, the seat ..q war in the south,and a groat tobacco cen- attontion to tw ont—works of art now pletion hero, Phink ‘of minn who has spent Wis best years m! famous in Kuropo, famous all over | vid in facty softling down here the widst. of these associations [ traditions and doing ah inmortal pic Homet in marble!
