To tie Editor qf the Republic:
With view to faIniliarize the public eye, and
keep the public mind on the subject of the i'm
provement most vital TO the District of Columbia,
to have some public sentiment definitely
and generally, and in an unmistakable manner,
expressed previous to the session of Congress
commencing next December, this communication
seeks place in the columns of the newspapers Of
the District Of Columbia, and of Maryland and
Virginia.
The present condition of Washington, George
town, and Alexandra, should be considered first
with regard to the Potomac's capacity for ship
ments direct from the wharves; and secondly, to
the intimate communication which they ought to
have between each other and the surrounding
country; and thirdly, also with regard to the
fitness Of their locality as the centre from which
railroads should radate north, south, and west
as well us terminate for shipping purposes 1t is
obvious to men of enlarged views, intelligence
and disinterested motives, that the welfare Of AL
exandria, Washington, and Georgetown, are too
closely united to admit of separation without
doing damage to their ability to take each its
proper part in the great field of action, which
their proximity to the head of tide-water ON the
Potomac, and the actuality of one OF them
being the national metropolis, necessarily indi-
cate. These three cities should therefore Join
together for the purpose of being what the law
of the land, the hope of General Washington,
and the handiwork of nature have 40 plainly
marked them out to be. Georgetown and WASH
ington the most absolutely united and Alex
andria is entitled to hold her old position in the
family circle. The writer of this communication
with view to the great public good, some time
since caused to be published and circulated, in the
shape of petition to Congress, plan for the
final improvement of the Potomac river, and also
eInbodying the idea for the proper location of the
links of railroad which should connect Washing
ton, Georgetown, Alexandra, and Harper s
Ferry.
The permanent improvement Of the Potomac
river at the head of Underwater, suggested con-
templates opening new channel along the ravine
on the west and the marsh on the east of the
neck of land leading to Observatory Hill. Thi.
involves an outlay for

which would be formed by Clinton's proposed
s'cut' for the channel of the river to pass along

the points from which the shoals would start, viz:
from Analostan Island, and from the island to
be formed by s'Clinton s cut, and upon which it
is proposed to build house of refuge for juvenile
offenders, the Observatory and Depot of Charts
being removed, as hereby proposed, to Meridian
Hill at 8. The shoal points at 9 would be deter
mined by the current. The extremity and lines
of the shoal at 10 will be determined by the cur
rents which will gently flow down along Analos-
tan Island. The openings between Virginia, An
