THE RIVER. The change in the weather
Yesterday, and the cold of last night, caused
another freeze, and this morning the river was
again covered with ice, which formed to the
thickness of three quarters of an inch, but the
strong northwest wind prevailing has driven
most of t,oyer or the Maryland side, and the
massage between this city and Washington is
nnobstructed for about half way up. From
the 'half-way tree to the Washington wharf
there is good deal of ice, and the steamboats,
have some difficulty in getting through. Only
one of the Washington terry boats-the Win
nissimmet-is running, and her Tips are irreg-
ular. Both the Aqua Greek steamers-the
Vanderbilt and Keyport- down this morn
ing, and experienced much difficulty in passing
through the ice, which continues banked up
near the Fort, in Wash:ngton's Reach. They
passed this city about O'Clock, but did not
round Sheridau's Point until g. The steamer
E. G. Knight, which went down yesterday
morning, did not get through the Reach until
late yesterday evening, the ice being of such
thickness as to make progress very difficult
The Captain of the Vanderbilt, which steamer
reached Washington yesterday about noon, re-
ports that the steamer was about five hours
working through the ice near Fort Washington,
which, he asserts, in some places, extends to
the bottom of the river. Neither steamer of the
Aqua Greek line attempted to make trip last
night, but, as stated above, both went down this
morning. The Government steam tug Ariel is
ice bound at the Fort. As soon as passage
way is made through Washington's Reach,
tugs will be sent down to tow up the sailing
vessels below, bound up. No tidings as yet Of
the steamer Express, from Baltimore.

SUBURBAN IMPROVEMENTS. Improve ments
to considerable extent have lately been made,
and are in progress in that part of the county
adjacent to and west of our city. The range of
hills overlooking Alexandria, which, at the
close Of the late war, were left blank and desc
late when the forts were dismantled which
crowned their SUBMITS, being previously stripped
Of everything save the soil, are gradually being
reclaimed from their desert condition. Farms
are re-fenced, substantial, comfortable, and in
some cases elegant residences have been erect
ed, fields and gardens put under cultivation,
and orchards and vineyards planted. 1t is
gratifying to know that SO many of our citl-
zens are willing to seek in agriculture and its
kindred arts an outlet for their surplus capital.
The Development and increase of the products
of the soil are needed to be fostered more than
any other species of enterprise at this time. -
And it is to be regretted that more persons do
not turn their attention toethese things in these
days of uncertain and huctuating trade and
scanty capital, for it is assuredly the most
promising field of enterprise to the young, that
now offers; While immigration is talked Of as
the one thing needfu|, would it not be equally
we'll or better to foster emigration from the
cities to the country the former are all over
flowing, the, latter too thin'y populated. Can
not the dozens Of young men who are seeking
places here and in other cities that women
would and could fill as well, be persuaded to
earn their living at first hands, instead OF, as is
we'll remarked by a cotemporary, "sponging on
the good nature of relatives who often can but
i'll afford to support such burden y
