ALEXANDRIA nFF AIRs.-The following we
take FRI m the Alexandra State Journal:
A late copy OF the Richmond Dispatch has
been received in this city 1t contains an arti-
Gle on the traiD guards, which the sympathi-
Zers with the rebellion will doub bt regard as
to spare piece of lead rs large as the head of
q pin on their account-that the pretended Sc
cessioDists of that city are too cOWardly and
contemplate T. receive or CLAIM any protection
from those who are periliing their lives for the
success of their cause, it further avs that thew
can respect A Union man, out they have no
respect whatever for those who claim to SYM
pa'hlZe with them, and at the same time re-
II ain in the Union lines and gain a livelihood
from those they would lead people to believe
they detest and abhor. The article concludes
Ly advising Mlshy TO fireinto the trains when
ever an opportunity offers, and TO pay no at
tion whatever 10 these safety. guards.
Some idea may be formed of the immense
amount of business transacted at the office of
Col Wells, Provost Marshal General, when
We s tate that as high as three hundred desert
,rs are reported each week. Or course the
&, position of these cases in volve an immense
amount OF work, and the various clerks are Of
ten employed many hours beyond those which
they are required To give to the office.
Messrs Robertson Berry and English, de.
tailed as safety. guards Oh the Orange and Al.
.Xandria and Manassas Gap Sailroads, have
heen released by Capt Gwyne, and Jno w
Burke, JGo. Dyer and Samuel Baggott have
been arrested and detailed to take their places,
Hon. l.. H. Chandler, United States District
Attorney, for the State of Virginia, has been
lying dangerously Ill with typhoid fever at
his home in Norfolk for some weeks past.
We are pleased to leatp that be was some
better wheu last heard from bv his friends
here, and that s'roag hores are no " entertained
of his recovery.

no war news Of interest
There have been captured since the
beginning Of the war, 279 steamers;
Is ships; % barks; 80 briggs; 547 schoon-

Gen. Aeagher on Copperheads At
reception of the officers Of the Irish Br.

CHER, in rising to propose toast in favor
of President Lincoln, expressed himself in
the following pointed and eloquent terms
''Beware of what has grown to be the
most significant designation Of Northern
enemies OF this country; beware of the
reptiles who are known as Copperheads,
| Applause, and some Kisses Have no
parley with them; show no mercy to them.
squelch them. [Applause and hisses.
For the enemies OF this country in the
North, who have no excuse, who bid their
friends 20 forth to do battle, and then cut
down the bridges behind them so that they
may fall sacrifices to the enemy, as they
did when Gen Lee invaded PENNSYLVANIA
last summer, raising "a revolt when you
were battling for the stars and stripes upon
the Susqnehanna; as for these men. we
have nothing but detestation; anG for the
Irish portion Of it, | deprecate, I loath. I
repudiate, | execrate them" CApplause I

The Broad Top Railroad.

In answer to some personal attacks
on L. I. Watson, Esq, President OF
the road, that gentleman gives the fol-
lowing truthful statement of the diff
ficulties under which it labored. That

sheriff is some evidence of skill in its
management, and as it is now doing a
good business, with fair prospects be-
fore it, untried hands would hardly
better it.
confess to two serious mistakes in the
early part Of our operations. One was in
snPposIng that the market for bituminous
coal was like the anthracite, almost unlimi-
ted: the ether was yielding to tie pressure
OF landlords, In making branch roads to their
lands, at time when the market would not
justify so extensive a development. The EN-
barrassment caused by this brought the com
pany on the verge Of destruction, and some
OF the roads made added nothing to the net
revenue OF the company for years
The board of directors and myself did
the pest we could to retrieve this error and
10y strenuous efforts prevented the sale of the

pute about. At present the branches are all
becoming profitable. and the stock is out of
danger with prospect of soon not only
paying interest, but Of making up in time
for loss OF back interest. Broad Top to day
ships much more coal than auy Bituminous
Coal Company in the State, and nearly as
