During* a visit fo Washington, I Ytule nut to the Congressional 13tirialGrotuul. Thouirh I have s\ sort of monomania for prraveyaivi.'. my idiosyncrasy is not of a gloomy or morose character. I love to stroll thro' the paths and avenues of cemciries, and peruse the often touching inscriptions to the departed, because they a fiord more instructive material for meditation than any oilier places whatsoever. The Congressional Hunal-C.ound js situated about one mile and a "half or.si of the capito), near the waters of the Anacostia, and comprises about ten acres of ground. The situation is rural and pieturesoue in the extreme. Nature and Art have combined to beautify and adorn this final resting-place of mortals?the former, by the location, and by covering the ground with large pine and cedar trees, and the latter, by aM that affection, taste, and wealth can do. fi . ... u may very appropriately Derailed a siirnlcity of marble, from tlit* many splendid productions of the sculptor's .'

I fuuul here the memorials of a promiscuous multitude. The man 1: r - 1 i uiiiuiaiuimg lonn vvnose tongue micro electrified the Semite lay at the feel of the babe a span long. In this "house appointed for all living," the servant and master, the indigent and the opulent possessor lay side by hide. Truly, Death, thou art the only levelor 1 In strolling through the ground, I was struek by the peculiar and affecting style of commencing the epitaphs on some of the monuments, showing by what relatives they were erected : if by parents, the inscrin lion commences thus:?"Sacred io 11 o memory of our dear sen,1' or "daughter," and vice versa* In one place, my eye caught this simple and , touch sentence: ' Sacred to the memory of my only hoy!" Doubtless this monument was erected by a widowed mother, and he was "the : only son of a widow!" How affecting! It must have pierced one's 1 . , 1 t ? ? nean 10 nenoui that sorrowing mother following her only buy to his long homo. Methinks 1 ran sco her atlending tlie awful obsequies; Niobelike. she remains dumb while the dust is heaned over his slumbering form. At length the anguish of her soul grows too big to be repressed, and she advances to the brink of the grave. All her soul is in her eyes as Hie cateites the last glimpse of the J diumal coffin, and as she looks, she i exclaims?"Farewell, my son ! my 1 m u ! my only beloved ! Would to I ("'od I had died for thee! Farewell, j lev child ! Farewell, all earthly happiness! Attempt not to comfort me! I will go mourning all my days, till my gray hairs come down with sorrow to the grave!" Here is certainly the climax of misery. Farther along, the words 41 Our Father" arrested my attention. Some <>l the sleepers, I perceived, had arrived to the age of threescore years j and leu, and a few had felt the frosts ' of fourscore winters. It is to be hoped that they come to their final rnstinffp'ace as "shocks of corn fully ripe for the harvest;1' that in their last moments the retrospect of their Jomr lives was pleasant to them. The public vault is situated near the centre of the grounds, and is intended for the temporary reception of tho.'c whose remains ?ire to ho removed at some future period.

How humi!;:itin<r the thought that those who once controlled whole empires, who fiisposca oi \nsi revenues, who lived in state and "fared sumptuously every day," should he compelled to resign all and he con fined within a few ( .'sheets of lead, and laid away out of sight in this dark niche ! j In the south-west corner of the : ground may be seen the column erected to ihe memory of MajorGeneral lirown, who was once com- ' mander-in-chief of our army. It is simnly a broken shaft, and is poetical I in the extreme. To the north ofthis I stand a row of monuments, similar in design, erected over the nrnvps of v., O "" * " " ! members of ('ongress who have died at \\ ashinffton.

Yesterday wa3 Sunday?we had hut a slight peep olj the population; we saw them only in their Sunday garb, and had no opportunity of forming a correct estimate of their character. This city is said to contain about thirtv-live thousand inhabitants, sin ) i is filled with numerous workshops, and lias a largo number of artisans. The city appears to have been built upon several steep hills, which, however it might add to its beauty, has one derided disadvantage: it causes the belles of the city to walk 011 their heels instead of their toes, as the Pa- i risian women do. The ladies in approaching you expose the entire f:ole of their shoes?this is decidedly ungraceful. but it is not the fault of j the dear creatures, but mi.1 fortune of this precipituous city; for it is impos* J sible to walk up or clown hills in Miss j Betty Martin's stylejof 'tiptoe fitm-.'

From all accounts he figured quite conspicuously in such a position'in the Senate chamber, on the 24th inst. The uubjget under consideration was his pe*-the com promise bill, upon which he delivered-his Closing remarks on that day. In despftir of its success. he attempted a l>o!d it* not an honorable diversion m its favor. This was done by an elTort to divert attention from the i , i* I ? * ? auommauons 01 ins pei 10 someimng a liltlc rtiore tibofninable. South Carolina and one of her most gifted sons, were the objects he selected for that purpose. Upon them he poured out the vials ol his wrath?charging that they were traitors to the Union, arid threatening the iorrfier with, and hoping the latter would meet a traitor's doom. Yes, he threat ened South Carolina with the sword of Kentucky, and hoped that Mr. Jxhett might be hdn?'with its hemp; not because either had rclusetl obedience to t ho Constitution; but because they Were not willing to bow dow'ft and worship the Unioii. Neither Mr. Clay nor his abolition allies, have any love, any veneration fortha Constitution, winch hasstood as a barrier, though a feeble one, between them an 1 the consultation of their hopes.
