The citizens OF Washington and Georgetown
will be gratifed to learn that operations will be
fully resumed on all unfinished portions of the
washington Aqueduct at an early day. From
Inc well Unknown energetic character Of the En-
glneer In charge, and his assistants, we have
reason to believe that the work will be completed
in the shortest possible time. Tie earth work OF
the Distributing Reservoir was recommended last
week Capt. Meigs himself removing the frst
shovelful) and. there are now employed az that
point about one hundred and fifty laborers and a
large number of horses and carts and we are in
formed that the force is to be increased as re-
CURED. The work is being done by the Govern
ment, and the large number of men and teams
employed are divided into several gangs each
under the immediate direction of a foreman
ms requires the services Of an efficient clerk
ana accountant, and we are pleased to learn that
Mr. Jas. A. Magruder OF this city, formerly of
Maryland,) has been appointed to that position
NO better selection could have been made Pro-
posals are being received until noon today for
the completion Of masonry Of gats-houses, screw
well. &c &c, at this Reservoir and the contrac-
tors VIII be'requred to finish all the work before
the first Of August next.
Mr.. Mcintyre, contractor for>masonry Of Cabin
John bridge, is making satisfactory progress with
his work, we understand, and IL is stated that
the contractors for the masonry Of bridge No 6
(across Rock Creek will recommence In short
time. Work at other points is either already
under way or Will be commenced at an early day.
Our citizens, with but few exceptions Were
gratifed at the act Of justice tardy thong il was
OF the late Administration, In recalling Capt
Meigs TO take charge of the work which will
endure for ages as monument of his engineering
skin and administrati We ability Those com petent
to judge say that, for boldness and beauty Of
design, excellence of workmanship, and economy
Of construction, the Warrington Aqueduct will
compare favOrably with other works of the kind
In this country or Europe. IL such structures as
the tubular bridge across Rock Creek and the
stone bridge at Cabin John "a magnificent ARCH
Of greater span than any other in the world-built
upon centering which is Of itself study for
simplicity and strength)-if such structures were
built In Europe, our citizens would be more
familiar with them than with these works al
their very doors for descriptions and views would
be scattered broadcast throughout the civilized
world.

Episcopal Church in this city, to hear reliable
information from the Baltimore Conference a,

news from the Conference, one TO the effect that
the Conference has dissolved finally; another thai
the Bishop refuses to make any ppOintments, ex-
cept for those churches which ask for them di-
TeGtly. But 10 confidence is placed IN any OF
these rumors The opinion prevails that the
Bishop will not be able to make the appoint
meBts regularly; that the pastors who have no;
served their terms will return to their charges
and the others to the charges they have served
providing the laity will consent.

V1ReINIA.-There was considerable ex-
element in Richmond on Thursday last,
from a report that a large quantity Of
arms were ordered to be removed there.
The House of Delegates, on Thursday,
(evening session. adopted the following
resolutions by vote of93 to 2l:
Whereas the people of Virginia, in
Convention, are now openly considering
whether they shall resume the powelr;
delegated by them to the General Gov
ernmcnt, and arc almost unanimous in the
opinion that the exercise of such right in
the recent and present state of the coun-
try, by any of the States, should lot be
sought to be controlled or followed by &
resort to force, and the failure of the Pre-
sidcnt of the United States fnlly to ex-
plain his intended policy in this respect
gives just cause of mistrust BE it there
fore
ResO7red By the General assembly Of Ttr-
qinia. That under existing circumstances,
proper respect to this Commonwealth
imperatiyely demands that no movement
of arms, or increase cf armament, Oh
troops of the Government within its linn
its, should be authorized or permitted BY
the said Government, and could not occur
without seriously hazarding the public
peace.
Resolucd That the Governor commu-
nicate the foregoing resolution to the Pre-
sidcnt of the United States
