WATER DEPARTMENT.

This department is one Of the greatest nnpor-
lance to all classes, ami one IA which our citi-
zens are deeply interested The report Of the
Engineer informs us how much and what por-
ton Of the works are completed. We have
pumping and reservoir capacity sufficient to sup
ply the whole city and all the large pipe laid and
as all our citizens alike are taxed to pay for
through all streets where any considerable num-
Der Of householders will take the water, and at
the same time give all the benefit of its plotec-
ion for fire purposes. At the recent fire in the
neighborhood Of SINNERS Lane, was shown the
worth Of our water supply by the readiness with
which it extinguished what threatened for a
time to be great confagration, and thus saved
a large amount Of property. The expense Of
extending the works is comparatively small, as
no more large pipe is necessary, and | hope this
subject will receive your earliest attention.

Acknowledgment.

l take the first opportunity to acknowledge
my deep sense of gratitude to my brethren
of the press throughout the State, for their
many words of praise previous to my nom
ination for Congress, and their generous and
flattering approval of the result of the Rut-
land Convention.
To the people of Washington County, and
the delegates from the County who so steadily
and manfully won the nomination for me in
the Convention, can only now give my
warmest thanks but 1 hope, if it shall be
my fortune to serve in the place for which
have been nominated, L may be able, accord
ing to my purpose, to do my duty toward
them and the District honestly and faithfully,
as they did their work for me steadfastly and
successfully. G. w. WILLARD.

jutant General, in which, in consequence Of
compliance with the reconstruction acts Of
Congress by the states of North Carolina
South Carolina, Georgia. Florida, Alabama

lance which has been exercised over them
has been withdrawn, and they are now left
wholly free to act in their original civil ca

ceased to exist, and for the future North

continue subject to military rule until such
times as they are prepared to comply with
the laws bearing upon their cases prescribed

In the success of the Democratic ticket by
