TUESDAY DECEMBER 19, 1865Affairsin Washington

WASHINGTON,Dec.18,1865Among the visitors to the WhiteHouse. Sa-

turday, were Hons. Daniel S. Dickinson, ofNew York, and James Humphrey, of Brook-lyn ; Generals Butler and Benton, and Sena-tors Lane, Foot, Cowan, Ramsay, Fowler andNesmith. The two daughters of the Presi-dent returned from Now York on Friday.These announcements are a part of the courtnews, which is gradually increasing in par-ticularity and detail as the Governmentgrowsin consequence and power.

Hon. Thomas Corwin,who was stricken withparalysis a few days since, was reported as ina dying condition yesterday, at the residenceof Mr. Wetmore, the Ohio military Stateagent. [A press telegram, received last night,announceshis death.]

The Southern people. in the midst of thedesolation which exists throughout their beau-tiful country, areexciting much public sympa-thy here even amongst their enemies, andsome efforts are bring made to render themsome assistance. Some subscriptions are onthe round, and a concert is advertisedfor thebenefit of the Ursuline Nuns, of Columbia,South Carolina, whose noble institution wasdestroyed when Sherman's army entered thatCity. It is tobehoped that the entertainmentmay meet with a brilliant success, as its objectdeserves.

The speeches of Senators Sumner and Fes-senden, and RepresentativeRaymond, in eulo-gy ofthe late SenatorCollamer, werepublishedyesterday morning. They are represented tohave been " uniformly able and brilliant." Ofcourse they were !

Much uneasiness prevailswith regard to thehealth of the city. The small-pox has made its

appearancein the northern portion. Thefreedmen are the chief sufferers. The city isfull of them, and they are as filthy as they canbe. Many of them are in a starving condition.

Would that their ardent friends and admi-rers, who waste so much of their time in thatfine building at the west end of the avenuein procuring these poor creatures " theirrights," and "elevating their social and po-litical positions to the proper standard,"would turn more of their attention to theirreal necessities.

Much difference of opinion exists with re-gard to the acceptance by General Logan ofthe Mexican mission. It was said by somethat his name was about to be sent to theSenate last week by the Executive, but wasstopped by the intervention of theState De-partment. Soon after, it was said that Loganhad declined to accept, and intended to re-turn to Illinois to canvass for United StatesSenator. The latest reports intimate that hewill accept.

Norfolk Items.?There is trouble among theNorfolkoystermen. On Thursday last, allper-sons not citizens ofVirginiawere ordered offfrom Nansemond river by the Norfolk oyster-men, under penalty of having their boats de-stroyed. The foreigners appealed to the mili-tary, and the natives arebefore our Legisla-ture by committee.The "Masons will give a grand ball in Nor-

folk nextSaturday. _A Long Absent Petersburger HeardFrom.

Mr. Marcus Games, a well-known citizen ofPetersburg of former days, but who has beenabsentsince 1849, has been heard from withinthe last two or three days, aftera silence ofsome years. Mr. Games wasappointed UnitedStates Consul, under Polk's administration, toTripoli. He was retained in this official capa-city through the succeeding administrationsdown to that of the late President Lincoln,when he waneither relieved orresigned. Heis at present holding the position ofelectricianon the sub-marine telegraph line between Mal-ta and Alexandria.?Petersburg Express.

A New Oil Strike.?We learn that, at whatis known as the McConaughy and Jones well,on the E. Pettay farm, near Burning Springs,West Virginia, on the 9th instant, a splen-did strike wasmade at the depth of seven hun-dred and twenty feet, and is now pumping andflowing at therate of three hundred barrelsper day.? Wheeling Register.

We hope to hear of some "oil strikes" inthis region before long. Do our people reallybelieve that there is no oil here? Let thembore forit. It is a morevaluable product thantobacco.

Sales of Real Estate.?On Saturday thepropertyknown as " Branchester Mills'," inPrince George county, seven miles from Pe-tersburg, with good water power and fiftyacres of land attached, was sold to Mr. J. A.Peterson, Jr., for $2,650. A tract of six acresof land, in Chesterfield county, onemile fromPetersburg, toMr. W. H. Davis, for $11.50 peracre.?Express.

Fatal Shooting.?We were informed lastnight by apassenger from the South that Dr.Moore, a merchant ofLittleton, North Caro-lina, killed a shoemaker on Saturday night,with whom he had a difficulty. We have noparticulars, though it is reported that theshoemaker drew a bowie knife, when Dr.Mooreshot him, killing him instantly.?Peters-burg Express.

A Treat in Store for Us.?lt is announcedthat the Right Rev. Bishop Atkinson, of theEpiscopalDiocese of North Carolina, will de-liver a lecture at the Library Hall on Wed-nesdayevening, the20th instant, for the benefitOf GraceChurch.? Petersburg Index.

The New York World says: " The groat lionin the path of Southern industry at this mo-mentis Federal legislation. Neither theplanter nor the negro is taught or allowed torely on himself. The Freedmen's Bureau un-dertakes to adjust that which is incapable ofAdjustment except by a law neater than anylawof Congress?the law of supply and de-mand."

E. A. Pollard, in his forthcoming volume onthe "Fourth Year of the War,'' argues thatthe surrenderof GeneralLee's,army was pre-meditated, the commander-in-chief havingmade up his mind as to the hopelessness offurther resistance before the evacuation ofRichmond and Petersburg. He says that Ge-neral Custis Lee, when captured, made therevolution of his father's designs.?WashingtonChronicle.
