Alexandria Locomotive Works.

We regret to learn that Smith & Perkins, pro-
prietors of the Alexandria Locomotive Works, pro-
pose to remove that establishment to some point
in the Middle or Western States, from which sec
lions of the Union their patronage is almost exclu
sively derived. These works are of large extent,
and of capacity equal to the completion of thirty
locomotives annually, of large dimensions. They
dsbursc annually $4,000 in wages and the pur-
chase Of raw materials The establishment of go
extensive machine-shop in Virginia has been
justly regarded favorable indication Of the in
crease of manufactures in that State. But we
regret to learn that but two of all the locomotives
now running upon the railways Of Virginia have
been ordered from this mandatory All the
others are from Northern workshops; and all the
locomotives constructed in Alexandria, with these
two exceptions, have been ordered by railway com.
panies north Of the Potomac
These facts, while they reflect no credit upon
the patriotism and local pride of southern railway
companies, furnish the strongest evidence of the
superior workmanship Of the Alexandria locomo-
tives. For why should the people Of Ohio and
Illinois and Pennsylvania order locomotives from
that city, when they have so many machine shops
Of their own, unless the Alexandria engines were
of superior excellence?
In tho present condition Of the affairs Of Smith
d Perkins, il becomes duty Of every citizen of
Alexandria, and Of every railway company in Vir-
ginia, to spare no effort to prevent the removal Of
their establishment TO another State There are
many Northern cities who would welcome the
arrival Of Smith a Perkins with open arms
and open purses They require large bank loans
in the prosecution of their enterprise. Cannot
these be obtained In Alexandria, on the guaranty
Of her wealty citizens, and thus arrest the in
tended breaking up of this important mandatory
At any rate, the attempt should be made, and be
met with liberal spirit on the part of the real
estate owners and capitalists Of that city.

VISIT TO ST. CROIX- NO. /.
Correspondence Of The N. Y. Tribune.

Correspondence OF The N. 4. Tntune
ST. CRoIx, w. l., April, 1855.
st. Croix is the place of rustication for the
st. Thomasians. Only few miles distant con-
nected by regular and frequent communication
"a sister island as regards social, political and
religious Notwithstanding very marked
and agreeable contrast in its country life and
scenes and the rustic habits of its people to the
pent and oppressive life of St. Thomas-and be-
side being in it's natural beauty and cultured
elegance perfect gem in the ocean, il furnishes
an easy and most grateful escape for season
from the monotony and purely business atmos-
phere of its commercial neighbor. Many fami-
lies in ST. Thomas have their relatives or inti-
nate acquaintances residing here. The little
trip at sea, and the change of air and scene here
are said to work beneficial sanitary effects.
Hence run for few days to st. Croix from st.
IL onss is quite common, and supplies the place
OF trip Of as many months to Europe or Ameri-
ca to those who are deprived Of that pleasure by
The want either OF time or money.
From the moment OF my arrival at st. Thomas
visit TO St Crcix, next TO my return home, was
one OF my most cherished antcipstions. To leave
the West Indies without coming TO this, their beau
tiful Paradise, was not to be thought of. Sixteen
months Of confined and busy life at ST. Thomas,
in a profession which derives little inspiration
irop buspess-tbe only source of excitement
ib.re-prepared NE to appreciate the beauty and
quiet OF this island, and to enter with greedy
appropriation into the varied enjoyments it has TO
ofrr TO the transient visitor.
An epidemic sore throat Of nondescript type
desepa,ed the present as desirable time for my.
proposed trip. Accordingly on the afternoon Of
lie 18th inst made my preparations for embark
ing on the same evening on board the schooner
Vieilsnt for West End or Frederickstadt. All
persons leaving St. Thomas, exeeps passengers
