MANUFACTUI.ING IN THE S0uIIi.-Alnoh5
the changes which are likely to result from the
late conflict between the North and the South'
those of commercial and manufacturing char
acter promise to be the most conspicuous. Be
fore the war, the natural course Of business was
to seud cotton from the South to the Northern
Atlantic cities for the purpose Of being manu-
featured or rcshipped to Europe receiving in
return such goods as the planting States con
sumed. Now, the tendency Is to ilocallzc the
business Of the South to produce there: as litr
as possible. the manufactured goods required tor
home consumption. With the growth OF man
ufactures in the South the advantages OF cheap
ness, resulting from having the raw product on
the spot will be realized, and eventually she
may underscll others, and send her surplus
direct to such foreiYn markets as ale IN need OF

COMMENiC.ATEU.

The CANAL The Importance Of the tan%I
to the trade and commerce Vi this city, cannon be
too highly estimated By the mercantile and NE
chanica! interests OF Alexandria: and the people
should look upon it AS the only bit OF Internal
improvement that will afford their trade the
slightest assistance. The farmers all along the
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal arc looking TO
the AleSaudria Canal as affvrdlng them the
only cheap outlet 10 the eastern markets Tor
their grain II they send their wheat by rail,
eight cents per bushel for transportation.
They can send the same wheat to the same
| market, by the Canal, tor abnnt len or fifteen
| ceuts per bushe!. Hence, the Canal will bring
| all immense amount Of grain to this city for
| shipment to the eastern markets. WIN The
| grain it Will also bring horses, cons, pork and
| Il part OF almost every article OF produce OF the
country through which the Chesapeake aud
! Ohio Canal passes ana IN return carry
! back fish, oysters, stoves, TIN ware. hardware
and mrrchand2c generally. Even the tow-boy
| will n0t leave without spending his dollar or
| two, in this city and hardly one member Of
| the business community OF Alexandria will fail
| to be benefited directly or indirectly by a com
/ munIcalon of TWO hundred miles with a
wealthy and popuious cOun r.. The coal trade
| alone, is worth, to AcXandrla abuut forty
| thousand dollars 4 month, aud one merchant
on klug street, sold annually, when The Canal
| was open, ten thousand dollars worth OF dry
| goods % the town Of Hancock. 1t is thus seen
that he more the subject is examined, the
greater the Importance OF having The Canal
open for trade appears and the thought o.
having it converted into railroad, becomes
| more and more unnatural With the Canal
open, Alexandria will again smile; but with d
railroad along its banks there will be little hope
left it, and deeper gloom will settle urOn lis
prospects, CAUTION.

COUNTY RoADs.-Never, perhaps, since the
roads of Virginia we're cut through the forests,
have they been in so wTetched condition as
now The war, whose disasters reached every
interest and every public work, did not leave
the county roads unvi>ited. They were every
where cut up by the constant running Of tn e
teams Of both armies. Farmers could not
then spare the time to keep them in repair
They have bad less time and labor to spare for
this object since the war ceased. La farming,
as in other pursuits, time is money, and the
time wasted on bad roads, and in going out Of
the way to avoid such as are impossible, coca
sious serious loss Of productive industry-to
say nothing of the hazards to teams and wag-
Gus. 1t is time that something was done for
the Improvement Of our roads. The message
Of the Governor contains some suggestions on
this subject, and refers to some abuses under
the presentlaw which he says should be guard
CO against He advises revision of the road
law, and the laws regulating levies for county
expenses. The subject is before the Senate,
on resolution to enquire into the expediency
of so amending the Code as to secure tue work
ing and repair Of county roads Rich. Wing
