ITO CONTRACTORS AND OTHERS.

Proposals are invited until April 18th, inst.
for the leasing for q termof years OF the Alex

property. This canal extends from the city OF
alexandria, Va, to the city-9f eeorgetoWn, =.
c. On the north bank Of the Potomac, where 1t
connects with the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal.
The water is from thence conveyed across the
Potomac in a wooden trough and superstruc.,
ture, which Is built on granite rock piers, and
and then by land into the Potomac at AleXan-
dre. The following description Of the piers Of
the aqucduct is from report by the late NJ {.

on an aqueduct l6COf ct long. This aqueduct
was located by surveys made in 1881. OF the
eight piers as now built are in water from 50
to 40 feet deep and / founded % to % fee. below
the surface. The abutncnts and piers were all
built in Golfer dams pumped out and drcdgcd by
steam machinery to the solid rock, on which
they are erected in cement and trowel work
from foundation. This laborious construction
was the work OF several years, with a large
force engaged light and day except during part
Of the winter mouths. The piers are carried up
30 feet above the river surface, and are there
fore III height from 50 to 10 feet. They are
about 20 feet long base and ~ to II fee. thick

Alexandria Canal may be properly called the
terminus Of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal; -
There was transported Of coal alone, over the
Alexandria Canal in 1860, about 100000 tons
and the coal trade has largely increased since
but owing to the war no coal has come over the
Alexandria Canal, for the reason that the aque
duct has been used by the Government as

REMoNsTRANCE.s

Appended to this is the remonstrance which
has been prepared by the Committee, appoint
ed by the City Council, and the citizens select
ed by the Mayor, which is to be Immediately
presented to Congress, and to which the sigma
lures of all the bona fde citizens of Alexan lria
county-and none others-will be appended:
To the Congress OF the United States -
Your petitioners, citizens of the town and
county of Alexandria, in the State of Virginia,
are informed thata bill has been introduced in
one House of your honorable body, to repeal
the acts Of Congress under which the town and
county of Alexandria were, by the Government
of the United States, "ceded and torever rehin-
qatiShed to the State of Virginia, in full and alb
solute right and jurisdiction, as we'll of soil as
of persons residing or to reside thereon"
Z That by concurrent legislation Oh the part of
Virginia the said retrocession was accepted and
fully consumated, and thereupon the said town
and county of Alexandria became an integral
portion OF said State, whose jurisdiction has
ever since, for now nearly twenty years, been
extended and exercised over the same. That
an experience of upwards of fifty years had de-
monstrated that the territory embracing the
town and county Of Alexandria was totally IN
necessary as forming part of the seat of Govern
ment of the U. S., and only tended to paralyz
the trade and business Of the inhabitants and
retard the growth of its population. So self
evident were these consequences that our peo-
pie during said period made constant and re-
peated applications to be retrocede TO the
State of Virginia until their efforts were
eventually crowned with success; that the
State OF Virginia has made very large
OUTLAWS of money. and granted many and i'm
portant franchises, and the people OF the town
of Alexandria, in their corporate character, en-
numbered themselves with heavy indebtedness
to construct works Of internal Improvement to
connect them in business and interests with the
said state From the benefits Of these we must
in great measure be deprived lnrlhe event of
the success Of this measure The undersigned
do not propose in this remonstrance to present,
in detail, the many and fatal effects and inju-
ries which they believe would result to them
and their posterity by the consummation OF the
proposed measure u II ar
Other means will be adopted to place these
cefore you, we only now beg
leave most respectfully lut most earnestly to
demonstrate and protest against the repeal Of
said acts of Congress as in violation Of ourrights,
property and best interests, and Of thu. solemn
pledged faith of the United States. Ir;.E 81.

IMPORTANT RAILROAD CoNNEcT1oN.-The
Lynchburg News says:-''We learn that it is
in contemplation by the Orange and Alexan-
dria Railroad Company, to extend the road. at
an early day, to the Virginia and Tennessee
depot, thus avoiding the great loss of time, and
the heavy expense now incurred in the trans
shipment of freight from one road to the other
The length of the extension will be atout one
fifth of mile, and its advantages to both the
Orange and Tennessee companies, are so appa-
rent that We are confident it would have been
built long since, but Tor the war five arc not
mistaken, the route was surveyed in 1860, and
estimates Of the cost made. Not only would
this connection save very large sums in the
transfer of freight, but its very great advan-
tages to the travelling public by the two routes,
form an item which, we think, should demand
the making of it at the earliest practicable mo-
ment. ....

NOTE FROM JAS A. ENGLISH ESQ.
he Editor of the Alexandria Gazette :.


The note which appeared in the Gazette Of
yesterday, signed BY MIR. R. Johnston, sets
forth a charge that he had been slandered by
some one. and the clear inference sthat this had
been done by me by certain members Of the
out is untrue, as the following statement OF
facts will show The books Which found in
the Auditors Office, on the 18th day Of March
last: showed that the work in the Office had been
posted to the 22nd Of February, 1864, and not
the business of the Office, [ addressed sWo
written communications, and sent two OF more
verbal messages to Mr. j., asking him tor In
fern alton On the subject, and asking in what
book | could find the accounts posted. 10
these Inquiries. Goth written and verbal, re-
ceived no satisfactory reply, and was referred
by him lin verbal reply to the marginal notes
in the check books. This being entirely uusat-
isfactory, and the work Of the office thereby
stayed, / deemed it my official duty to bring
the matter to the attention OF the Honorable
City Council; its action induced Mr.. J. to
bring, on yesterday afternoon, to the Auditor )
Office, the Ledger. in which said work had
been posted by him, the existence OF which
book was known only to himself, and the in
formation withheld by him for reasons
best known to himself. but leaving NE to
infer all The time that the work had not
been done Therefore, up to Yesterday after
ternoon, had no evidence that the work re-
ferred 10 had been done; and with this state
ment Of facts. | must submit that if MIR. j.
has been injured: his own conduct must bear
the blame Of. it. I refer Tor confirmation to
Messrs. Fleming, Brewis, Wilmer, and Lam
bert, members Of the Finance Committee.

WASHINGTON & ALEXANDRIA RAILROAD

WASHINGTON & ALEXANDRIA RAILROAD.
The Washington Star has the following arti-
Gle Mr. Ingersoll introduced in the House to-
day a bill authorizing the Commissioner Of
Public Buildings to sell and convey to the
Washington and Alexandria Railroad Company
that small parcel Of land which has been is
olated from reservation No. 2,by the making OF
the Washington Canal, being all of the said
reservation owned by the United States that
lies on 9th street west, and which is bounded
by the Washington canal on the west AND
south, and runs back towards Missouri avenue,
between 9th and 18th streets west, provided
that said land shall not be sold for less than
per square foot; the avals arising from
said sale to be applied by the Commissioner
for the improvement of the streets and avenues
of said city Of Washington. Referred to the
District Committee The bill is accompanied
by communication from 3. B. French, esq.,,
Commissioner of Public Buildings, setting
forth that the piece Of ground in question is
about 81, 600 square feet, is of no use to the
United States, and is now public nuisance,
and he does not see how it can be converted to
any practical use for the Government. The
Washington and Alexandria Railroad Company
are very DESTROYS, be says, to purchase this
piece Of ground, so as to establish their main
railroad depot 10 the heart Of the city, (this
company, when lobbying before the City Couu-
ellis lately, represented that they intended to
establish their main depot on Maryland avenue.
Rep, and he Commissioner French) there
fore recommends that an act be passed author
izing the sale of said now worthless piece Of
public property to the said railroad.
