The Alexandria Canal Aoueduc,.

The impression has long prevailed among.
by no means few, people an this city that the
new Alexandria canal aqueduct ~ a myth. or
that II such a structure Is really in existence n
Is mere costless and temporary piece of w ork
erected, not for the purpose of forming the con-
meeting link between the Chesapeake and Ohio
and the Alexandra canals, but in furtheranoe
Of some occult railroad scheme upon the sue
cessful termination of " hch the aqueduct and
with II the Alexandria coal trade can 20 70 the
dogs, or anyw here else, 30 far as the lessees OF
the canal are concerned. To confirm or diSpeI
this impression. one of the reporters of the Ga
zetie was sent TO Georgetown yesterday, snd
the result OF his obser vations there ~ as fol-
lows; The new canal aqueduct Is an accom-
plished tangible fact which presents itself in no
questionable. but IN a beautiful and symmetrl-
cal shape, spanning the Potomac from the foot
OF Bridge street. In Georgetown, 10 the opposite
virginia shore, one thousand and ninety -Si
feet long and thirty feet above high water
mark. The bridge IL constructed upon the
Howe truss plan, u twenty -four feet high. and
twenty -four feet wide, and consists OF nine
spans, each one hundred feet clear The trunk
OF the Aqueduct is seventeen feet wide, with
tow path OF hye feet. The contractors for the
work Were A. Is. Burton a. Co, OF Philadel-
phla- and the bridge Was erected under the gu :
peryision OF Mr.. j. IA. Cofrode. A large num-
Der OF stone masons. carpenters and caulkers
are now busily engaged in preparing the A que
duct for the reception OF water, and by the fr -
day OF March the whole structure will have
been completed; and If the water IN the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Canal has not been drawn OF
previous TO that time, its gates will then be
opened and its strength tested. The wagon
way will be laid directly over the AoueducL
and viii be on a level with the top Of Budee
street. Space sufficient for the contraction OF
a railroad bridge las been lett on the western
or upper side Of the massive stone piers. What
ever may be the ulterior designs of the lessees
OF the Aleqandria Canal, respecting the new
Aqueduct, Is of course known only 70 them
selves, but the assertion chat they have AZ great
expense erected an entirely new and apparent
ly strong and substantial bridge and water
way across the Potomac, admits of no dispute
and II Alexand ria should once more become
the shipping port for the treas ures of the Cum
berland coal fields, such a desirable consum-
nation viii BE- due in small degree 20 the
energy, perseverance and pecuniary means OF
these lessees.-hienondgia Gasede, 30tA.
