TIE ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE. On and after
the6rst of July, il is our intention to issue the
Tr-weekly Gazette for the Country, on Tues
days, Thursdays and Saturdays, as before the
war. It will contain, besides the usual do
nestle, foreign and local intelligence the latest
tclegraphic news, with reports OF the markets
in the large commercial centres of this country
and Europe.
The circulation of the Gazette is steadily IN
creasng, and our mail books show n ow consid-
erably more than one hundred postofices in this
State alone, where the paper has regular sub.
scribers; thus giving us hopesto expect an in
crease to our subscription list, that will swell it
beyond what it was prior to the war. We
shall, as now, continue to publish the Daily
Gazette, 10 the afternoon, believing, as We do,
that the wishes of our citizens are thus best
compiled with, while the interests Of the COM
munity are just as we'll, if not better, sustained
and we are not thrown into direct competition
with the large and wealthy dailies of the cities
Of Baltimore and Washington, whose facilities
for telegraphing news are so much greater, and
whose means are so far beyond our own at pre-
sent. We shall leave nothing undone, within
our power or abilities, to make the Gazette
worthy of the support it receives, and of the
additional encouragement it may, from long
services, and honest labor, reasonably expect.

pe1sDn examined by the Impeachment Man
ayers Yesterday was j. P. Dunleavy of OHIO.
1t appears he acted as a sort of disburslng
agent for Wooney The latter had offered
certain monetary Inducements to Judge
Blackman of Ohio, with the understanding
that he would use his influence to defeat i'm
peachment. The Judge refused and Woolley
thought he did not want to take check
which he had been offered payable to his or
der. Tor $500. He therefore commissioned
Dunleavy to go and offer to draw the money,
and paw Blackman in cash. Blackman stiil
refused. This was the substance OF Dun
leavy's evidence.
The uext person examined was Mr.: Nooiley
o. Ohio. He was questioned about the money
which he drew. He accounted for 1t all but
80 $50. He told various stories. The
Managers are satisfied that Woolley has per
iured himself and will probably be brought

The Times despatch says The lmpeach-

ton of WoOlley they have struck an impor,
