. It must be admitted that Virginia has been peculiarly unfortunate in giving birth to Winfield Scott and John C. Fremont, but they were not citizens at the time of her secession, and the latter is at the best an estray and cross-breed, upon whom she has no peculiar claims. There is no glory, however, without its drawback; the sun even has its dark spots; the most beautiful climes are infected with dangerous serpents, disgusting vermin and fatal diseases. The land which gave birth to George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Jas. Madison, John Marshall, George Mason, Patrick Henry, and — but we shall never know when to stop if we begin the interminable role of her immortals — has also produced such abortions as John S. Carlile and other political and moral lepers, more insignificant though not more corrupt. Let us hope that their punishment will be as signal as their crimes. We have on the Capitol Square a great national monument, a glorious shrine, which future generations will visit

-The pleasant shade of the numerous trees on the Capitol Square is sought as we are pleased to see no less by visitors to the city than residents. When the large number of trees set out this summer come on in the natural order of things, the Square will present a tout ensemble of Syloam loveliness in the midst of brick and mortar, hard to surpass. Already visitors and strangers award it the palm of being the most beautiful spot of the kind extant on the continent.

ans or other. It is now, however, distinctly understood that the British and French Governments will not, in this case, attempt to raise the blockade by force. But the idea is held out that, next winter, the United States Government may be, by some means, in possession of New Orleans, and other cotton depots, when the cotton trade can be re-opened to all the world, and at prices highly remunerative to the cotton growers, factors, &c. Rumored Changes. A special dispatch from Washington, July 3, to the Cincinnati Enquirer, says: Fremont will assume command of all the army in Western Virginia, relieving Generals Patterson and McClellan. The Government is dissatisfied with General Patterson. He has twenty-two thousand men, and does nothing. They say that he should have occupied Lynchburg by this time, General McClellan will be relieved simply that he may give his whole attention to the division north of the Ohio, and to Missouri. The Government is losing confi
