The air bath in it all of June except-the breath ,qf roses, and that drift ing incense which the censers or the honeysuckle hold; I think this premature balminess anil warmth of atmosphere su perinduces a general languornnd lassitude. People of extreme opinions whom I meet look, in a moist, disheveled wily, open to .conviction. Men of profound aggressive energl. s wander vaguely along the avenue, shirt collars limp and pendant, moist globules upon their brows, and maps of Asia; in yellow dust, upon their coat-tails, Willi such a nerveless incertitude of pur pose that one might think them about to stop n policeman lor the purposes of in quiring whether they were renlly awake, and this wns March, and thnt, yonder, the cnpitol, mid so on. Seriously, there is a grim reality in the clutch of this velvet handed demon, the spring fever. I think it has even tempered the acerbity of legis lative debate. 1 passed an hour in the gallery to-day, nnd really the tranquility and peace or that asylum of bald-headed sinners 1 enn liken to nothing save, per haps, the council ennmber (if there lie one) of tltbse mild-eyed dwellers In the happy isles, sought long and fruitlessly beyond the baths of nil the western stars by ihe Ulysses. Some questluu of colTee, I thir.k, was being discussed?something Bhout the duties thereon?aud a mild vow was made by u thin gentleman, with u bald head and blue spectacles. I am conversant with coffee, but know little of duties; conse qucntfcr the discourse presently waxed tediotiW'' When tho gentleman with tilue spectacles reached "fifthly,'1 I reached for" my hat, and,, shaking pie dust of the gal. lejjr froru my sand.-ila, ascended the dome, of rhthor tbo pillared tiers whereon that stupendous convexity, crested with Craw, &jd;S master-piece; It "to 0t> reared. <^5flffrfS-fe^l'pTace-^ltrtrghirteftal "gal ?cry, lrou-rniled?from which panoram Ically to view this sprawling, chaotic tojvn. Seen from this point, the city un rolls its dusty mugnillcenccs of distance : the stupendous harmonies of its design reveal themselves in brond avenues, which converge upon the eapitol as all the roads ol the Itoman empire converged upon that j golden milestone by the I'lncian gate; moreo\er, distance' leuds enchantment' here as elsewhere. The town is a conge- ? riq of hovels, inharoiouioutly sown with temples, as the Napoleonic tapestries wore sown with golden bees, but something in the dust, the remoteness, the sunlight, touches ihem into respectability, ir it does not glorify them. For the cliier ilior oughfn e o ? n capital it would be difficult to coil, cire or a meaner street in architec tural aoorument than Pennsylvania avenue but from this point it takes oil the stately atrs ol a grand Apphm Way among thor oughfares. Very straight, very brond, and, seen (rom a distance, makes ft false pretense or being splendid, which it is not, but only escapes squalor by a hair's breadth. Why did they attempt to build 4i city where no city was ever intended to be reared? It will never be a capital, ex cept only in'uaine; never a metropolis tike Koine, or Londou, or Pnria. The "eternal blazon" is against it. Yet it will sometime, or course, be clustered nbout with historic memories;, Civsar will be slmn in the eapitol, and-Brutus harangue the roughs from the terrace. Who knows but captives from Patagonia, or some terra Incognita elsewhere?some undiscovered tropic Ulc jeweling the tawny fort-head of the orient ocenn?may be somehow brought bitber to rear a new Coliseum. Our civil ization must retrograde first, it is true, but history sobs with the record of Us retro gressions. It has been swinging back ward and forward like a pendulum since ever, the flaming *wotd; wua filed at the first garden gate whereof we have knowl edge. .? 15 verJ cool and invigorating .this wandering around tho circular gallery. One*.falls insensibly to wondering how.tjje men with paint-pots and hammers cling to such slight projections at such dizzy altitudes. I recollect hearing a story of a correspondent who reported the proceed ings of some/ crowded occasion, clinging the while with his teelh to the bell rope, writing with one hand, and. reversing the sheets with tlie' other. Dot the feats of some of these artisans are even more* as tounding. They sit astride the slender iron bars which gird the frame wrtfrk 6f the dome, flourishing their brushes or their hammers, chant patriotic Btares, make their little jokes, and (who knows?) dream of. days wherein 'they shall - bo chieftans, like the mighty and much badgered Abe. TJji from the Nazareth of rails a prophet has come; why- may not one come up from the paint-pot and forge! I am not sure that the excellent and In trepid artisans, with whom now and again I stop to ? exchange ancta observations as my ?r|al nut-look- suggests, cherish ^ny bidden ambitions of the sort. Probably they do not. ? If one be'bittfcn by the de sjrt of legislative or other (Hme. Washing ton is a good place to dissiluLionize bim.?

Speaker Pennliigtoh's Farewell. '? ; Amotion was'made to adjourn,' when the Speaker rose timid marked silecce and delivered the follow)rig address: "fJcntlemen of th6-House of Reprcsenta* tl"c.a:~z}}y l?n're 't>|w arrived at the close 01 the Thirty-Sixth;.Congress. During its progress Bcenes of l(i extraordinary char acter have been witnessed. Several States hnve scccdfd, and all their member*. with one exception, left this hall. No lover of his country cah witness such an exhibition without feelings of the deepest anxiety.? As your presidium'officer, I hnve not felt it my duty to deviate from the established practice by entering'ihto discussion on the lloor. Indeed, tho demands upon the timo of the chair are sufficient in its view with, out, and it Is wlso the .Speaker should not be entangled in the conflicts of debate. '?You win permit me, therefore, before purling, to say pubUcly what is well known to many, if not'all 0( you, that I bave ever been and aut now, and I trust ever shall remain a devoted, frjeud of the Union of the Suites, and favpr^ble to any just uud libejral compromise. The report of the Committee of Thirty-tbroe of this House met .my cordial approval, and I have never hesitated to declare ,my belief that a coo* yentioo of ajj the Suits to consider actual *2* "As a member of the Union; I declare my convlcUon tbat no tenahle ground has been assigned for ? dissolution of the ties which bind every American citizen to lu's couutry, and impartial -history will so de cide. Aly confidence in the American peo ple is such that I believe no just complaint can *exist long without a redress at their bands. There is always a remedy in the Union. With this riew, I still declare my ? willingness to join in measures of compro*- * wise. I would do so because of the an cient ties that have bound us together under the institution framed by our fathers and under u constitution signed by the immorul Washington. 1 "I would do so, for the national hanor is committed to tbe experimont of free in stitutions. I would do so for the lovo I bear for my countrymen in all parts of our beloved land, and especially so for that noble band of patriots in tho border Sou thern States, who.against greatapposition, have stood firm like rocks in the ocean, for the peace and perpetuity of the Union. -lint, pentloraen, I may not fnrther dwell on these general subjects. For the di/cbargo of the duties of this station, to which I w?s called by yonr kiudness, I can only say It has been my purpose to do all iu my power to promote your comfort as members, to deal impartially with all, and to promote the best interests of the country so far as any snccess has attended my administration in the chair 4,It is to be ascribed very much to the kindness and forbcarnnco of tbe members of the House. I claim for myself only the merit of good intentions and honest" pur poses. The resolution you have been pleased to adopt is truly gratifying, and will be among my most agreeable recol lections of this place. I thank yon, geu tlemen for this mark of your approbation. I could not fail to remark that this reso lution was prcseuteil by tho oldest mem ber of the House, by whom I was sworn luto office, and one whose elevated charac ter is acknowledged by us all. "I believe no former speaker erer re ceiver! more kindnessoit the bands of the Juiuse than has fullp to my lot. Amid births conflicts opopfaton on qncstforis continually arising, fou have never over ruled any decision r Lave made. I do not in'fer from this that I was always right, bet I do infer that if wrong the IIoa.se be lieved it was through misapprehension and not by design, and that it was your mag nanimity that led von to sustain the Chair. '?You will permit me, I hope, to say here, that I am under great obligations to the officers of this House for their assis- j tance and UQvotion to my comfort. I re turn them all my vei*y warmest thanks.? | And now, gentleman and friends, it only remains that I take, my leave of you. The | parting hour is an bonai*. hour. When 1 first came among jFoejQ&lgml myself a I natiooal map. 1 am MrVtill, and trust I ?hall ever remain so. 'Often in tny retired i moments I shall think of you and the many sccnes through which we have passed. j "My prayer to*Heaven for yon is, that j yon may have that blessing that cometh ' from above, and that the Great Ruler of Nations, in whose hands are the destinies j of ns nil, may restort peace to our country ?bring order out of confusion, and Union to the present distracfeT elements.

Timet % on board tbe U.S. steamer Brooklyn, now nt i'eusacola, says: This movement 6f secession1 in this por tion. of the State of Florida, 19 a perfect farce, und is destined to become a com plete failure. Already the mnjqr portion of the inhabitants of Pcnsacola are fully satisfied, and assert, that they have had sufficient of the novel excitement they have been for some time participating in, Hud nuw that tliqy are begiuuiug to feel some of the effects of feparating them selves from -their sister State?, are thor oughly disgusted wijh the sublime feeling of, independence. Persoual observation and . communica tion have proven anew to ine. \>hat I as sured you was the case in my last letter, viz: that there are still remaining here many good aud true Union-loving men,? men who have been carried away with this suicidal exctement, but are those who have gazed into the future* and have dis cerned Uie terrible and inevitable results of the inauguration, and carrying out' of this movement. Tbe town of P-eusncola is held in pos session by a mob of ubout.<00 persons, 300 of these being from Alabama ; those from Mississippi that were recently here have decamped to their homes. They cauie here with the avowed intention of assist ing the undisciplined gang, called soldiers, that were here before them, but it would seem their only purpose 111 visiting this place was, of eating and drinking every thing there was to be obtained,, either by fair or foul means, and then evacuating; in this they were eminently successful, and when they had accomplished it, shook the dust off their feet against the cities. The citizens that havp visited our ves sel inform us that the condition of those so-called soldiers Is miserable beyond de scription; they possess no money, clothing or provisions?in fact, it is nothing more than a drunken rabble, being snoli a terror to the whole neighboring country, that the establishment of a guard has been neces sary to protect the wives and families of] certniu citizens. These outlaws have, in their drunken expeditions, entered houses j when the male members worn absent, and with pistols presented at the heads of the female members thereof, demanded all the provisions the house contained : in ease of refusal, n* has occurred in one instance, insult upou insult was heaped upon the heads of tho unprotected females. Their sole occupation is nothing less than roh bery, and every chance that is given is nvailed of by them.
