Correspondence Of the Alexandria Gazette.
RICHMOND, March 26.-You heard yester
day, by telegraph, Of the passage of the bills
making appropriations to the various Rail
road Companies of the State, in which the
Roads commencing at Alexandria have par
ticipated. hope they may be of advantage
to Alexandria, to the counties through which
the roads run, and to the State at large.
This morning the Senate bills Enacted on in
the House amount TO 90, and they are COM
ing in pretty rapidly. The Senate is fast
laboratory, and grinds out bills so fast, that
the House bills remain in an exceedingly
dormant State, and stand a poor chance. 1t
lie great misfortune for the State that the
new constitution gave the Senate the origl-
mating power, for, as it is. many bills pass
that ought not to pass, and the result is, that
the House is the advisory body now, instead
of the Senate Two hours have been tax en-
up this morning in discussing the propriety
of reconsideiing the vote by which the House
passed the Senate bill Incorporating the Clio
yer Hill Railroad Company--which reconsid-
crations did not prevail. This road will be
competing road to the Richmond and Pc
tersburg road, but will not be built. 1t is to
enable the Clover Hill Company to keep the
Richmond and Petersburg road down on
their coal freights. Ts bill to deliver G.
Buckingha IN & Co., a new, instead OF coupon
bond of 81 900, lost. was passed after long
debate-ayes 10. The Senate have passed
o resolution to adjourn on the 9th OF April
next, and to meet again on the lst of Deoem-
Der, 1859 The resolution is not yet acted on
in the House, but will doubtless pass. MIR.
Paxton is addressing the House again to-
night on the Oyster Fuudum bill. This bill,
of course, will meet with violent opposition
from the members from Eastern Virginia
Messrs. Clay brook, VERIFY, Mock, Jones, and
Others There is @ great disposition to pass
the bill, but am still OF the opinion that 1t
will cost moro than it will come to, to collect
ANYTHING under it; and doubt if it becomes
a law. Tomorrow, the order Of the day Is
the election of q Brigadier, and Major
Generals, of the Virginia Militia. Candi-
dates for these donors are exceedingly numer-
Gus, and Mr.. Tucker will have hard time
of it in calling the roll so often.
"A LOCKER ON"

Extremely Unfortunate.

4 Doctor IN trOuJie-An interesting case
came of last week, before the Recorders
Court, in this city. ltseems DR.. }. b. Chap
man became enamored last fall with beau
iful and accomplished young lady by the
name of Miss Little.
Itseems her charms were so prepossessing
as to cause the Doctor to importune her
greatly to join him 10 the holy bonds of we'd
lock. The Doctor being old-near sixty, aud
she Young and beautiful, she required him to
advance her bonus % the promise Of mar
rage. To this the Doctor readily consented,
and made over to her according to his ac-
count, about $4,000 worth Of property
Since she came in poss ession Of the proper
,y, she declined marrying him, and ne brings
bis suit to recovery the property, alleging that
it was obtained through fraudulent pretences'
She pleads, we learn, that the Doctor Is
married man, and therefore she would not
marry him, and that she did not learn this
until after the courtship. The suit went
agaips, the Doctor. Better give it up So
The Doctor has been unf1rtuuate in Kansas
He ran for Congress at the first election in the
Territory, and was defeated as badly as 10 this
counting expedition. Better luck nexttime'
