The vegetation ha an exceeding luxuriant appearance, and in most places a labarynih of trees, plant and vine cover the earth, and render it apparent ly impervious and impassible.

This is a small place approached by a narrow passage from the sar and is surrounded entirely by. barren mountains. Ilia small and of but little importance, except aa a place of de posit for supplies, for the California steamers. These supplies consist of coal, (from the eastern Slates or England.) beef, poultry, fruits, such as plantains, limes, Ac. and egga andtice from the iotas!, fco. The supplies of beef, consist of live eaula, which are fastened la the side of large canoes, and thus ate towed or made to. swim out iutothe bay to the Warner, into which they are hoisted by the home- o head and placed in stalls until butchered. One is killed every morning, ifoga and sheep are also taken in. The coast here has I mountainous, barren appeaianee. Jan, 1st, 1853. At noon to day we passed ihe Lobos and Margaretta Islands.

Washington & Congress. Messrs. Editors : I promised lo meet your readers in Washington in my next letter. I reached the City on the morning of the 23d of ' February, and found it already crowded with strangers. After securing a comfortable room, and having finished some mater of business, I sallied forth on the following day to make my observations on men and things. The first thing that struck my attention was the fact, that Wash ington City, proper, is all on Pennsylvania Ave , , . ,, i . ... nue, Bnd that 1 ennsylvania Avenue is all on one , ""u " nrrei lor a:i uic uubiic hiiu uujiuih, anu wait and talk of bolh sexes and all colors. Pennsyl vania Avenue is a noble street, commanding one of the finest views of any street in the world. It is thronged with omnibuses, hacks, cahs and car riages of all aorts and descriptions, many drawn by beautiful horses, richly caparisoned and Hy ing from one part of the city lo another with wonderful flcetness. The street is very broad, and to some unwieldy budgets of flesh and bone, would be regarded a tiresome walk to go from one side to the other. The aide-walks are unu sually spacious, even for the principal street in a city, and the side-walk of the city is always crowded with a moving, bustling, throng. I speak now of the season of my visit ; for in the summer, ( am told, Washington is sparsely in habited. llavinir taken a ranid view of the Avenue as I ,. , . , ref(oUpj , Da an hour or ,W(, jn (h Capil(t. l-rom Mmtl reason I know not, I went first into the Senate Chamber, which 1 afterwards regretted as the sequel will show. The Senate is a grave, a noble body of statesmen. I felt proud of my country while I stood admiring her gifted sons. There appeared an indefinable something pervading the very atmosphere of the Senate Chamber which awed hoth Legislators and spectators into a solemn silence. The form er seemed unconsciously lo feel that they were the pillars of government, and on them rested the great fabric of American Liberty and American Iw. The lat'er seemed uncon."iously to feel that ihey were in the presence of men whom heaven had formed and earth had honored. The first Senator whose entire speech I heard, was Mr. Bell from Tenn. Air. Bell is a tall, athletic, solidly built man, though stricken with years. I should think him at least sixty. II ia not a beautiful orator, but a powetul upeaker. He exhibits great earnestness, and enunciates and gesticulates with considerable vehemence. I heard but one belter speech in the Senate. Mr. Butler of South Carolina, in. my humble estima tion, excelled him, Mr. Butler is not only flu ent, and clear and eloquent in thought and word, but, his voiee ie like a roll of thunder softened in to melody, and his eyes, when the currents of thought flow full and free, do not sparkle with fitful brilliance, but steadily burn like two balls of fire. Mr. Butler is an old man, and his hair is perfectly white, and hangs properly about his neck Though his hair and the furrows upon . i" . u i i r pJa4i,ly lhat the plow -share of hie brow tell too time has done it work, still his action and voice possess all the vigor of youth.). I heard several other Senators but none of dis tinguished eloquence. I was very desirous to hear Mr. Souie from L-., bul he kept hi peace ; ! r i and ro I bad to decipher his genius upon his fea- lurca auu pciauu. .111. uuura a jiciouu ia inn nr thin is face nartow forehead somewhat re treating complexion dark hair jet black and straight and long- Indeed, I would sooner lake him for a descendant of Indian ancestry than to be a geriuine Frenchman, judging simply from his general appearance. He is agile in his move njenls, and wen graceful. One accustomed lo observe human character, it seems lo me, would at ouee pronounce Mr.Soule boih an enthusiast and an orator, without ever haying heard any thing of him previously. Mr. Soule ie a genius of. ihe highest order i and with his peculiar tem perament, unless closely guarded, may do much- harm. 1 took a good long look at Gen. Sam Houston, the celebrated hercofilirTejran Revolution. He is an odd looking, man 11 odd in his wsya odq jit bis rough,, hairy sppcarsiMre sod odd in his costume He is wholly unlike evtry other Sen- the (old General ii i affecting '.foppery on a new 'plan,;, and it renders him disgusting. While I wa making my observations upon the appearance of the Senators, my attention was sc cidentally arrested by Sj more interesting feature of that grave body, the Idleness of some, and the industry of others. Although many teemed eith er to be listening with careless attention to the de bale, or to be musing, and a few wholly idle, yet there were others constantly employed. When their interest was not excited in the debate, I ob- served them wriiing orfingeringboifksof reference j anu that too wiin an untiringjrai. Among these were Bell, Cass, Douglaa and others, whose hames f beed not raentron." I admired Ootrglss-- I mean the man. Perhaps, my sympathy for his late bereavement had .something to do with his being so particularly interesting. Out, be lhat as il may, I thought Mr. Douglas one of na ture's noblemen. He msy be wrong as a politi cian ; but, hi appearance and character as a man. are captivating. He is a very handsome little man. Besides he csrries the industry that took him out of a Cabinet Maker's shop and placed himin the foremost rank of his countrymen, into the Senate Chamber. Every time I went into the Senate, I found Mr. Douglas with these other Senators, and earnestly employed. I as told thai when Mr. Douglas commenced the Law, he resolved lhat nothing which human energy could overcome, should prevent him from being punc tual at the Courts, punctual in his preparations for the bar, and punctual to his clients in every particular; and lo accomplish part of this deter - mination, he had often endangered hi life by , , .... s mraCTsiiaj s is naMis anu asi amvtiii tnvj dtj l I cet weather. These things account for his wonder- , ...... . . fu eucct ss, and industry is the key that unlocks the mystery of others rapid and certain advance to power and fame. I noticed that the industri ous of the Senate as well as of the Lower House were the illustrious of the land. Two o'clock found me in the Ladies' Gallery of the House of Uepreentaties : and what a scene for the theatre of a nation's glory 1 1 The first thought I conceived as my eye rested upon the two hundred and forty Representatives, and htrr ii tin OU Field School on the lur, ger plan It fully I in If'attnngton Cily ! To describe it fully cannot, and would not if I could. The warm blood of national pride, that poured through my veins an hour before, was chilled almost con' gealed atnhe spectacle. Such a continuous bray of voices and moving about, and crying -Mr. wJH " .,! K..,;n th- r, ,. ,l Speaker, and beating the desks for page, and . a thousand other things lo make up the bedlam, and which are daily enacted in that self-same bo- j ly. are a burning shame upon the dignity of the j American Congress. It was with difficulty 1 1 I could hear, and unless the speaker was a man of talents to attract me, my attention would wander, nolens volens on my part, among the atrange j feats of the honorable memberh.md. Amon the ' - e very few of those lhat I was able to hear, and tut T T ' - r. f i with whom I waa pleased. Mr. Staunton from ; Ky.. displayed considerable power bolh as a n- j eid roasoner and a pleasant speaker. But really 1 I could not become interested in the debate, or ' many of the members. I had been in the Senate ' many oi me iiicmucrs. i uau oeen in me oenaie , s,and the step from lhe sublime to the rid.cu- Ions was so very apparent that after my imlig-; nauon on nrsi view, nau sudsiucu, 1 couiu dui j ..... look and laugh ! Although the scene was a fine representation ol a bedlam, it was not ditlicull lo ; see one very notorious fact lhat there are big ( men and little men wiee men and simple in 1 f Congress as well as in the wide world lhat the many are governed pretty much by the few I . that the few aiake all lhe laws, but the many get , all the money I As I rose to leave, I fell, and half said to myself I would not be, unless I could be a Crzar too !

The tnsus Office on Eighth street, and its vicinity, has been lhe scene of great excitement to-day. In the first place, up wards of one httndred Clerks were removed, leaving but seven or eight in lhe office, and ii was proposed to dispense with lhe Eighth street and Seventh street offices altogether, one office and a few picked Clerks being deemed sufficient lo wind up the business. In lhe next plaee, Mr. Kennedy, late Superin tendent of the Census Bureau, sued orrt a wrl of repfevrn on Mr. iJeBow. his successor, by virtue of which he entered lhe office with a De puty Marshal, and emoted two or three cart loads of manuscripts and documents claimed as priyate properly, but embracing a large quantity of manuscript prepared by Clerks in lhe office, the' records of the Census Board, numerous pub lications received Irom public societies, &r.
