The Roads. believe 1t is generally con
coded that the roads have never. tor the same
lenrth of time, been in 50 dreadful condition
"a during this winter. Travelling. in any other
way than on horseback, is out of the question.
The Stages have very generally ceased to run
and the FREQUENT floods in the streams have caus-
ed repeated failures of the mail, even on the
most public routes. Whoever has travelled hence
to Alexandria by land, need not be told that,
during the suspension of Steamboat intercourse
between this aud the District. IL is no easy mat
ter to drag even the mail Cart through the boys
of Chappawamsic, Neabsco, &c.

.iyen much satisfaction to the community where
he lives. The vote was previously understood
20 be critical, and this circumstance in conjunc
non with the favorable sentiments entertained
towards the distinguished member. rendered the
the question one OF much interest.
