The Capitol.—The State House was on yesterday lodged in the position it is to occupy until the new Capitol is finished. This is one of the greatest feats in house moving we have ever heard of. No chimneys removed, no plastering disturbed, and, indeed, the Legislature might have been in session without being at all annoyed by the process of moving. We congratulate the contractors, Messrs. Glaze and Co, and the gentleman who had the job in charge, Mr. Twitchell, on the successful accomplishment of the undertaking.
