ALEXANDRIA,:
FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT AT WASHINGTON
SATURDAY, JANUARY &c, 1919.


friday, January Is.
fcu will have perceived that the transact
tons OF yesterday in the house of represent
tatiyes were very little conversant Of any
matter worth the trouble of communicating
for the entertainment Of the mass of your
readers. The only thing that strikes me as
being in the slightest degree attractive OF
notice, is report from the Secretary Of
War, made in obedience to resolution Of
the house passed in April last, calling upon
him TO report plan for the application Of
the means placed in the power Of congress,
TO the making Of such roads and canals a.
nay deserve the aid of government, with a
view TO military operations in time Of war.
1t also contains an account OF the works OF
that nature which have been commenced
the progress made in them, and the means
and prospects oftheir completion. This re-.
port is spoken of with much appreciation by
those who have read it--and no doubt will
be found, when it meets the public eye, to
justify the applause bestowed upon it.
A resolution, passed on motion of Mr..
Johnson, Of Virgin,a, calling upon the Pre-
sident to inform the house whether any APP.
Plication had been made by the Indepen-
dent governments in South America to have
minister from them accredited by our 60
venment, and what answer had been given
TO that application.
