Among their last acts was the finding of a true bill agaiuat John Carlos Gardiner for "false swearing;" and a true bill ugainst J. Hamilton Mears for fraud on the Government. Gardiner was ar rested ou the presentment of the Grand Jury, on the 17th instant, for perjury, but not until yesterday wits tho indictment found.?Rep. Not PcitciiASEi).?It was stated in one of the papers Inst week that tho estate of Jno. A. Smith, esq., situated north of Washington, had been purchased for a military asylum for $40, 000. We have received such information as to iuduce the belief that the sale, as reported, has not transpired; and, indeed, that as yet no i spot has been definitively fixed upon for the E object. The beautiful farm property of Mr. John II. King, north of the Georgetown College estate, was visited yesterday with a view to au (examination of its fitness for the purpose, but wo do not hear that any steps have been taken making its purchase likely.?Int. We believe we copied a telegraphic despatch from this city to the above effect. Visit to the Valley or Vibgima.?It is un derstood, and we have no dowM correctly, that the President of the United States and a portion of the members of the Cabinet?the Secretaries of War and of the Interior?will leave this city on their promised visit to the Valley of Virginia on Tuesday next. On his way the President, with the Secre taries, will make a personal inspection of the public works and property at Harper's Ferry, which he has long been desirous of doing. They will then proceed up the Valley, by the Potomac nnd Winchester Railroad, to Charles town, turning off st tliat place to the neighbor ing Shannondale Springs, there to meet, in friendly and familiar way, the citizens of the adjoining counties of Jefferson, Clarke, and Loudoun, in compliance with nn invitation of ^ the latter made some time since. Leaving Sbannondale, the President and his friends will go on to Winchester, and, taking perhaps Capon by the way, thence to the White Sulphur Spriugs of Greenbrier. At this point, if we are not misinformed, Mr. Stuart will cross into his own district, to attend to some legal business requiring his care. Of Mr. Conrad's purposes we are not apprized, bnt, being a native of Winchester, at which place many of his near relatives are still resident, he will, of course, feel himself in that region every where at home. This will be Mr. Conrad's first re lease this summer from the toils and cares of his Department.?tnldHgmeer. There is a spirit of "go ahead" among the boys of the West, that neither fire can bnrn out nor water drown. The latest instance of "never giving up" occurred in Canton (Missouri) dur ing the late flood. The Jirportrr, published in that town, says that during the late flood in the Mississippi, his "devil" carried round the paper in a canoe?that sometimes he would note it into the door of a subscriber and drop in the paper, and whero that was not convenient, he would drop them down the chimney. This " devil" must he a descendant of the Kentuckian who could "dive deeper, stay under longer, and come up dryer than any man in those parts." Swim ming.?Klizur Wright gives the rationale of swimming as follows s No branch of educa tion has been so much neglected as this. Man is the only animal which docs not swim natur ally. Ho sinks in deep water from the sire of his brain when not properly exercised. That is to say, the weight of his braiu above his nose sinks that organ a little beneath the surface, when he is iu an erect position, before his body displaces Its Weight in water, and thus finds an equilibrium. With the nose under, one miiBt breathe water and drown. But when the brain comes to be exercised enough to throw the bead back and the nose up, pointing to the Very zenith, and keep tho hands and feet carefully under (he water, then by the eternal laws of hydrostatics, the nose will continue above water and the person will float like an empty battle which is so balanoed as to keep its month up permost. No human being can sink in still water of any depth, lying on his back with hands nnd feet under water.
