REMEDY FOR CHoLERA.-The following ex-
tract from the letter of clergyman to the
Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. presents very,
simple and; he says, effectual preventive of
cholera as we'll as remedy of great power.
We do not often, publish newspaper remedies,
but this one seems harmless
''The. preventive is simple---a teaspoonful
Of powdered charcoal taken three or four times
a week, in cup of coffee or other liquid, in
the morning. When attacked with cholera.
a mixture Of an ounce ofcbarcoal, an ounce Of
laudauum, and an ounce Of brandy or other
spirits, may be given as follows, after being
well Shaken a teaspoonful every five min
utes. In half an hour I have known this eff
fectually to relieve and stay the disease. AS
the patient becomes better, the mixture may
be given at longer intervals. have known a
patient in the blue stage, and collapsed, per-
fectly recovered in few hours
The charcoal was tried as preventive on
a large plantation in the Mauritius, and but a
single individual out of eight hundred was
lost"

THE AQUEDUCT.-We are indebted to the
same friend who furnished the materials of the
remarks upon the 'sCanal and Aqueduct,, J" in
our issue Of the 9TH ultimo. for the following,
to show that the correspondent of the George
town Courier is in error as to whether the pro-
posed bridge in connection with the Aqueduct
was to be a. free or toll bridge:
The committee before Congress from Alex
andria, Messrs Thomson f. Mason and Ber-
nard Hooe, sought 70 unite the efforts OF
Georgetown Committee with their own III pro-
curing aid from Congress by a joint application
for a Bridge and Aqueduct but failed to enlist
their cooperation. Alexandria was sollcltous
to get aid for an Aqueduct-had no interest IN
the bridge, and our committee, as sensible men,
we'll knew that Alexandria had no right TO ask
Congress for permission-even to say nothing
Of pecuniary ;lid--to build a toll bridge. Their
own good sense would show them, that such
scheme would utterly destroy all prospect of OBJ
tanning aid for the Aqucduct, and, therefore, as
Georgetown did not unite with them--the
bridge was dropped, and their efforts we're d.
rected to the Aqueduct alone.
1t may here be added that the Canal Com
pany did not purchase the Ferry and other
property Of General Mason S until after the pas
sage Of the second appropriation by Congress,
in 1887, and therefore could not have had any
influence whatever upon the question OF
bridge with any party.

MANUFACTURES. We have so frequently
nrged the establishment and encouragement OF
manufactures, in Alexandria, as y source OF
individual and general prosperity, that it would
seem to be almost needless for US again to re-
cir to the subject. But by manufactures we
especialy, mean,l such as are now or can be
started with but small amount OF capital,
and by persons On their own account, and not
dependent on companies or corporations. Al
exandria ought to supply all Northern Virgin
ia with castings, with plows, hoes, axes, rakes,
saddles brides, boots, shoes, carriages, wa
CONS carts, with labor saving machines, farm
inc implements and kitchen utensils, all artl-
cles of household furniture; and with locomo-
tive engines and cars These and hundred
other things could be manufactured here so as
to supply any amount of trade, and as cheap
90 they are bought at the North. Once let Us
make Alexandria manufacturing town, and
its future prosperity is secured.

No Restoration Of the Union.

The radicals do not promise to re-
store the Union at all. Even if every
State in the Union should ratify the
proposed constitutional amendment
(Which they certainly will not do) the
Southern Representatives would not be
admitted to Congress. On the twcn-
tieth of last July, a bill was introduced
in the House of Representatives provid-
ing for the immediate admission of any
Southern State that would ratify the
amendment. That bill ,ras defeated.
CHESTER d. HUBBARD voted to lay the
bill on the table. There is therefore, no
promise nor guarantee of any kind
on the part of the radicals that they
will ever consent to restoration OF
the Union. They have refused to make
any offer by compliance with viii ch the
Union may be restored.
