CHEAspEAKE AND OHIO CANAL The thir-
tv-pinth annual report of the president and
board of directors Of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Canal, for the year ending December 81, 1865,
shows that the canal is in more prosperous
condition than it has ever been The Cumber-
land Alleeauian gives the following summary OF
the report:
The revenues Tor the year 1866 exceed those
OF 1865, $7,ll2, which was much greater than
any preceding year. The total receipts from tolls,
water rents, rents of houses and lands and tines,
amount to $500, e46 Sc. The current expenses
of the company for the year we're 1924, 800 81
Excess of revenues over current expenses
sI32 500 40. The ordinary expenses OF main
tenance of the canal were one-third more thah
those of the preceding year, owing to the con
tinued high rates paid for labor and material
and to q greater amount OF work done on I'M
provements of the canal than hitherto.
The report refers to the reduction OF tolls on
coal which took effect on the first OF March,
and will require an increase OF transportation
Of coal to the extent Of twenty-five per cent 10
realize like amount of revenue at the former
rate of toll. 1t also states thet all OF the tloat
ing debt of the company, amounting to $3Ol,-
O24 IS has been paid within the last two years
with the exception of about $4,000, due Tor
outstanding certificates Tor repairs and small
balances on the superintendencles, to parties
who have not presented them for payment,
which can be paid when demanded. For all
practical fiscal purposes the floating debt OF
the company may be regarded as extlnguished.

Arrangements have been made by the Phil
adelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore, and the
Delaware railroads, for running at least four
fruit trains per day for conveying the immense
crop Of fruit to the Philadelphia, New York
and other markets the coming season. The
peach crop in Delaware, New Jersey, and
Maryland will be very large this summer; and
the prospect for apples, pears &c, is good all
over the country.

Street railways seem to have but sickly
existence in some of the New England cities
In Worcester, Mass, the horse railroad cost
$4,000 four years ago, and having meyer
paid, its owners have offered to sell it for $G0,-
600, but cannot get subscriptions for greater
sum than $4,000. We remember Il few years
ago, street railway was talked about in Alex

ALEXANDRIA.
THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 81.

Gerritt Smith, in recent letter. comes out
very strongly against Mr. Stevens confscation
schemes, as ubiquitous and unjust, and says the
North ought to hasten to put an end to such
threats. He adds: The spirit Of laWless
greed engendered by. confscation will no more
stop at State or other lines than will the flames
of praire fire at the word of command Let
there be confscation in the South for the ben
eft OF Mr.. Stevens loyal losers, and also for
the benefit Of the poor blacks. as he also pro-
poses, and very soon, under its debauchng in-
fuenee, immense numbers at the North will
be clamoring, in the name of sagrarianism, y
equalization, and other taking names, for
their neighbors' possessions; ,snd these rich
possessions, it must be, will kindle the spirit
of robbery as can none Of the poor possessions
Of the desolated South

under the appropriation Of 100000 by our

The harvest Hc announces the gratifying
intelligence that in the central, northern and
western portions Of South Carolina, the only
wheat growing region of the State, the wheat
crop has ripcucd, and now nearly all harvested.
The crop is said hy the Governor to be the
most abundant raised in that section Tor nearly
twenty years past, and that not only will
existing want be thereby greatly diminished,
but future relief be brought very much within
the scope of their own charity. Sum-

REGISTRATION III King George.

Correspondence Of the Alexandria GaZette,l
KING GEORGE c. f.. Va, June &c. The
registration Of the yottra Of this county CON-
menced here on Saturday laai, and has thu3
far progressed very quietly. The reg lister at
this place viii include all the voters Of the
election precincts al the Court House aud t'lII-
ton, and at noon to-day, the books exhibited
The names Of one hundred and two whites, aud
one hundred and twenty SGV1n Golnrrd, with
one only upon the challenged list. This Dis,
trict embraces a larger proportion OF colorcd
population than either Of the other divisions
OF the county, and rs they have everywhere
exhibited Il greater pTomptncSS than Their
white brethren in reporting Tor registration, 1t
is thought the aggregate result Will show
considerable minority of whites The Board
rejects all who held any civil Office, State or
County, prior to The war. and all lawyers who
were connected IN any way with the Conleder
ate service. In applying this sweeping rule,
which excludes so many classes admitted TO
registration elsewhere, the Board claims TO be
acting under what it terms Il mdTYnt allowed
| them in recent instructions from Gen. Scl!o-
field The President OF the Board held office
under the General Government before the war
and afterwards was a rol,ntocy in the Confcder-
ate service but u0lunta1IIy Quit. He claims the
right to register, and will do so, | suppose,
under this same margin. ] inquired to-day
Of 4 freedman who is, according to his own
statement, Il citizen OF Washington city, and
who is engaged here temporarily in the con
struclon Of wharf upon the Potomac, II he
intended to register His answer was, that he
had Mt made up lis mind but We suppose, if
he APPLIES, the "rnargin" will be found suili-
cicntly expansive to receive his name. l..
