It starts opposite the east- ern centre of the Capitol ; a grand wide road that leads on to the Anacostia or " eastern branch " of the Potomac. As you traverse it and look back the -vista is terminated by the columned Eastern Portico and cloud - seated Dome of the Capitol. This broad street, however, is only built up a short distance, and the houses, for the most part, are mean-looking. The open country is soon reached. This, now, in 1863, is occupied by camps, parade grounds, and hospitals. Li...ncoln Hospital, capable of accommodating 3, 500 invalids, is here. Emory Hospital, also of very extensive ability, is its near neighbor. Camp Barry, the artillery instruc- tion camp, lies in close proximity, as does the extended parade ground, where grand reviews, sometimes of many thousands of troops, are held. THE EAST CENTRAL PORTICO OF THE CAPITOL. This Portico is grandly imposing. The pediment rests on massive columns of stone of the Corinthian order. The shafts of these columns are thirty feet high.
