For the Gazette.WASHINGTON, July 4, 1866.

i MR. EDITOR?I arrived in this city 011I the fourth, expecting to hear and see greatthinirs, in which 1 was sadly disappoint-ed. Excepting a few lire crackers whichthe hoys used, I ii ard nothing, and ex-

\u25a0 cepting the letrtjc of colored folks,1 I saw nothing hy way of reminding me|of the birth of our ItepuMic. The great; ue>i 1011stration on tliis day w ;ts made in

J birth. '1 he public buildings being dosed| on t his day i repaired to the park east of jI the Capitol, wereseveral tiiousand colored Ij people lout been gathered around diHerent

| stands listening to addresses made ysev- ij eral clergymen, whose names i did not .get, except t hat of the Rev. French, whoseeloquent and patriotic speech was ire- i(jneatly interrupted by enthusiastic ap- j]>hius*\ liltl Various JSubfoutii Schools ofthe city were present with their lie itban-ners, and appropriate mottoes surroundedthe portrait of their patriot saint. Abra-ham Lincoln, to whom they had dedica-te.i 1lie* motto J/fZ/tv to Injjti','tariftt(J all.' 1 On the whole this was as orderlya concourse ol people as I ever saw.

?Julv -"itl1 ?1 his morning 1 paid nivfirst jvisit to the U. S. Capitol. The lirst ob-ject that attracted my attention was a ;painting in tao rotunda representing thebaptism of Pocahontas; this andthe por-trait ot Lincoln are among the finest intins part of t!ie building. As ending tothe top ol the dome, we can examine themost heautitul designs i:i tliis countrv;

of six scenes painted on the !canopy of the dome. In the centre isWashington; on his right i.-, the Goddc sof Liher y; on his left, female figure re-presenting Victory and Fame; aroundthese there are six groups :

Ist. The Arts and -Sciences. presidedover by the Goddess Minerva. Franklinand h niton are prominent in thi- group.

?*l. Mechanics ?Vulcan at his forgepreparing his thunderbolts. Around hiTnare a variety of implements.

?VI. Agriculture, over which Ceresreigns. Pomana and Flora by her skie,I oe chariot is a reaping and mowing ma-chine passing through the rlpetie 1 grain

Which fails into the lap of Ceres. Thisdesign is magnificent.

Ith. Commerce, '? which the greatAmerican financier Morris is seatedamidst the articles of commerce of everyland. * ,

oth. Father Neptune in his chariotwith his trident and Venus l-v his sidejust emerging from the briny deep, accom-panied hy her many cupids, while theAtlantic ( able is plainly visible in thedistance.

6th. Represents Wa-?The Goddess ofLiberty stands erect, bearing in one handa shield, in the other a sword, with theAmerican eagle by her side. Uuder herlei! foot are two horrid looking men withfirebrands resembling Jell". Davis and ;Stephens, the latter the figure of despair.Near her left foot, crouched beside a can-non, is another group, in which GeneralLee is plainly distinguished, accompaniedby his mulatto servant, said to be his son.

Query. Who favors negro amalgama-tion most, the aristocrats of the -Southw ho practice it, and the copperheads inNorth who support them, or those whomerely stand up for hum on- rif/hts ?

BOOK

THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC.?Wehave received a copy of Swin ton's Cam-paigns of the Army of the Potomac, andas a whole ptvier it to any history wehave ye! read. The Philadelphia Pressin noticing it, says: "Most important,from tin- ability of the author (who haspreviously written a standard volume 011philology,) is William Swinton's 't.'ani-paigns of the Army of ihe Potomac; a('ritical History ofOperations in Virginia,.Maryland and Pennsylvania, from thecommencement to the close of the war?I s6l A.' It contains 640 pages octavo, hasa full index, besides maps and plans, por- 1traits ofGenerals < iraut, McCleiian, Burn-side, Hooker and Meade. Mr, S win tonis one of our ablest war-annalist, and 1witnessed a great deal of w hat he recordsin this booked. He has uot condescendedto toe personal adulation of commandingofficers, which forms the staple of manyother books about the war. The Gettys-burg campaign, it seems to us, has neverbefore been half so well described."

Democratic candidates for countyo fices, like locusts, are creeping out ofthe holes in which they have been bur-rowing for the last seventeen years.

fair" The -Supreme Gfiurt of this Slatehas decided against the PennsylvaniaRailroad Company in its contest with theAtlantic and Great Western. The decis-ion however that roads of different guagesare connecting roads will rather puzzle <common people.

A destructive conflagration tookplace at Portland, Maine, on the evening !of the 4th July, caused by a fire crackerthrown by a boy among some shavingswhich destroyed 2000 buildings, includingpublic buildings, banks, newspaper ofii-ccs, &C. Loss at least 310,000,000.

gterThe Democratic* candidate forGov- iemor of Oregon, Mr. James K. Kellyformerly of Ijewistown, declares that hois in favor of making national payment 'for all the slaves emancipated. We areglad to say that Kelly was defeated inthat formerly democratic state, as he welldeserved.

ja) A Utah letter speaks of Brig- !'ham Young's son as follows: 'Joseph' 1or 'Joe \oung, as he is familiarly jknown in L tali, is a fast j"oung man. 'lie has i eon on a 'mission,' traveled in 'Europe, smokes, chews, gets drunk iswears, preaches the gospel, has threewives, whom he whips and otherwise 'shamefully abuses, and is a good Mor-mon, 111 full fellowship with tiiechurch.'
