'Msi. 'Bronson, edicor of the U . State":
Gachsstcsi, Philadclphia, isis'abOUt phblishing
*_* Trachs in various coumsirisics in Europe,
Asia and ' Airica, by Edward Danilcl
Clarke, L. L. D.—-—Part. 'lst, Russia, Tar
tary and'kac-y. 'I'hc Edinctbur'gh Re
vicw speaks of it in very high terms.
When political misrepresentation ,bccosir'nfr's
habitual it is extremely difficult to omit it
even when policics have nd c'onctrn. Our
"neighbor Galcs says that the capicai em
ployed in the City of Washingt'on in manu
faccurca is almost as great as " the large
cummcrcial capical" of Alexandria; quot
ing the above quoted words from us, as is
We: had said that Alcxsisindria had a large
commercialcapital. \Vc asscrccd no such
thing, be the: laci as it may : we said " men
of large commcrcial capital only can give
the City of Washington a vigoreus in
crease." We had no dcsign to say any
thing in ssdisparagcmcm c-s VVashington:
t'nc Alexandriuns consider the whole districc
one neighborhood, and rejoice in the pros
perity of every part of itsi. A spirit of ge
nerous cmulation is not incompaublc wxch
good Will to others.
ss'Sihc'c she dessitructicm of the thirtlssbridge
at she Little Falls a writer in the Spirit of
'75 proposcs the building of & bridge at
Gorgetbwn. Had the Georgetotvn people
been half witted, in 'that respect, they
would have built a bridjge 'Syears ago,which
would have prevented the building of the
'briclgc from VVashington sico Alexander's
silsland. The building of the contem-psilatedsi
brirlge (vould-be of little disatsslvanmge to
WVashington britlge-,_ and would be of great
bene'sit to Ceorgctown; and it Would be}
better for the citiZens of that place to pay a ss
large sum Qt osince than to be always suﬀer- :
ing from the inﬂuence ot the props'ietor of:
a ferry. Howwer, we Alexandrians willi
not complain: that inﬂuence gave us the
bridge we wished.
, Þ
The most astdni'shing imposltshn osif she
kind perhaps in the U. 'States is the ferry at '
Elk-Ridgc Landing, about eight miles this
side of Baltimorc. The csiarriage pays asi
heavy toll and every passengesir besides; for si
being transported over : narrowsicreek al
most sordahlc. For 54000 a bridge "might.
be built, which, with one-fourt/z of the pre
sent to]! would yield twenty or thirty per
cant. on the costof the bridge. Over such
:: creek in any town in New E. -gland a
btidgc would be built toll- free by the town
or county. "
The French papers give an account of a
" bold reconnoiccring" of the French and
Italian army in Calabria on the 12ch of Sep
rcmbcr: Several dctacsihmcms made good
a landing in the night in Sicily at Sanstcsa
no, who, when discovered by the English,
" made good their retreat, and returned to
Calabria, all cxcepting some man who were
not able to be brought back -This is the
only inconvenience which has resultcd from
this brillz'ant attempt." There are various
ways of telling a story, but we see,: nothing
" briUianc" in tﬀcCting a landing and run
ning away with a loss. si
On Saturday evening we had no maii bcf
.yosidd che City of W'ashington. On Sunday
evening Saturday's m'a'n arrived ; but none
beyond New York- The mails have both
extremely irreguiar of "lace. Three is some
thing rotten some where.
'We would thank some one, is any one
knows, to inform us what are the advan
tages of a'z'stzss-z'butmg— post-offices. As we;:
know of none, unlesS'delay be con'sidered
an advahtage, we.- cannot conjecture why
they were instiiuccd. .
