ALEXANDRIA,:
WEDNESDAY MORNING, NOV. 10, 1884.

uFln two weeks the Session Of CONGRESS Will
commence. Its duration. by the Constitution,
will be limited to the 4th of March next. Though
brief it will, doubtless, be one of much interest.
The peculiar political condition of the country,
and the state of parties, will more than make up
for the absence of any exciting matters OF mere
During the Session we will exert ourselves to
give our readers the earliest and most authentic
Intelligence from the Seat of Government The
ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE will contain, daily, sum-
mary of the proceedings of Congress OF the day
previous, prepared expressly for its columns
We design to keep faithful and impartial re-
cord of the debates that may take place IN Doth
houses; and, for this purpose, shall always give,
at least, one or two Of the principal speeches on
both sides, on all questions Of importance
We shall have, likewise, the advantage OF
CORRESPONDENTS FROM WASHINGTON, whose letters
will give the current news ofthe Metropolis
Our own personal attendance, as oflen as we
can. at Congress. will also enable us to collect
all of interest that transpires.
Thus, without burthening our columns, or an
moving our readers with all that is said and done
in Congress on every subject private and pup
lie, we hope to present them with an account OF
every thing useful or interesting.
In the mean time we shall not remit our exer-
tons to make the GAZETTE channel Tor con-
veyng to its readers the earliest NEWS Joreign
and domestic, with the LITERARY, POLITICAL, anu
COMMERCIAL intelligence ofthe day; so that, WIFI
out combining its columns to any particular SUI

The Hot Heather, which had been on the in
crease at the close of last week, augmented on
Saturday and yesterday to as extreme de-
gree nearly as in the second week of July,
though fewer casualties ensued from il than
were then enumerated. During the whole of
the forenoon Of Saturday, and until g. P. M.
the thermometer ranged between 80 and Sc.
and it is said at one time, 49, in various parts of
the city.
There seemed to be, very shortly after noon
had commenced, general retreat sounded, as
if the city had been nearly deserted. Those
who could find cool nook, or corner, or alley,
or "con of vantage" or awning, or shady
tree, betook themselves to this refuge. But
scarcely breath stirred, and many thought it
too hazardous in the broing sun to think Of 60
ing to the Battery.
Rabbineau's swimming bath, however, was per-
fectly alive. Parasols were in much demand,
very judicious accompaniment; the market for
chip hats took sudden rise; and white round
abouts were in plentiful abundance The soda
fountains, lemonade, and ice cream gardens,
(thanks to the regeneratng influence of tenn
perance associations,) made rich harvest
The ice merchants, in their ice carts, assumed
an air Of importance they never had done be-
fore, and might have commanded any homage
they had pleased in Wall street. or even obtain
ed the entree into the purlieus OF the Exchange
In short, there was, for the moment barring
fields of sugar cane and coffee bushes, COM
pletely equatorial physiognomy given to the CT
ty People were more on their P's and Q,s,
and more punctous than ever. Every body
seemed to be in passion, and out Of humor-
fretful, and ready to explode upon the least
spark; and, therefore, each saw the necessity,
while they gave vent to their irascibility in I'M
measured philippics against the intolerable heat,
of avoiding, as much as possible, coming In
contact with each others finder. We heard of
no cases Of spontaneous combustion, but sup
pose there must have been some.

Taxed and Frustrated by the heat that now pre-
walls. The caution to abstain from every thing
of this nature cannot be too strongly urged.
Many, doubtless, will indulge in them in spite OF
all that can be said, and fatal cases of Cholera
Morbus are to be expected from this cause; out
these should be carefully distinguished from the
visitations of pestilence whose ravages can
not be so effectually evaied by similar precau-
ton.
In order to this, the opinions Of such regular
ly bred Physicians as are known to nave mao
practical experience on the subject, shoulo DC
adopted as the authority entitled to the greatest
credit-far greater, at any rate, than OF unpro-
fessional persons who attended during the Tor
mer prevalence of Cholera, merely as nurses
The latter class, like most Of the inexperienced,
will generally be found incapable ofunderstand-
mo the great difference which actually exists
between the symptoms of that disease and those
of common Cholera Morbus, while they can
easily perceive the points of apparent resem-
blance; and by confounding the two they may
occasion much needless terror.
Ii is proper to state that one death by Cholera
was reported to the City Inspector during the
past week, but on enquiry it proved to be mere
iy case of intemperance. Only one case OF
Cholera Morbus has been reported, while two
thirds of the deaths during the week have been
Of children under three years of age.
