THE RIVERSIDE At ALExANDRlA.-lhe
port of Alexandria, since the opening Of
navigation, last Spring, has presented every
day an appearance of active business, which
speaks well for the trade OF the town.
From the ship yards, whose workmen are
busy in the repairs of the numerous fleet of
vessels trading with this city; past the Pio-
neer Mills, whose ceaseess hum has now no
interruption during night or day, to the Coal
wharves, at the EXTREMIST Northern limits of
the city, Il distance Of near mile in extent,
vessels are unloading. arriving, or dropping
out into the Stream-wUrkme have proita-
bic NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. and their clerks
are busy--seamen and river craft hands are
in the active pursuit Of their several avoca-
tons, and the whole scene is one of business
life unusual ut this ordinarily 'dull sea-
son" OF the year. In the port and stream
this morning, there were over eighty vessels,
including goodly number of square-rigged
craft The trains on Union street add to the
business appearance of the locality, and, at
all points, the riverside of Alexandria ex-
hibtS thrift, enterprise, and prosperity.
