CANAL NEws.-The following is a statement
of The business of the Alexandra canal during
tbe month of July: Descending-Tolls,
81 s71,43; number of boats, I'll; lumber, II, 00C
feet; rough stone, Y perches; ice 1876 tons; COAL
92,21So2 tons; Of which Boyce & Go. received
1912 OF tons; American Coal Company, 9, 1884,
o5: Central, s,O56.O2; Hampshire and Balti
more, 26O7.14; Cumberland Coal and Iron
Company, lO7.l3; and the Washington Gas
Company, 443.l4 TONS The ascending trade
during July was: Receipts from tolls 500 ;
number of boats, 2l0; 35 tons Of salt.
It is intended to build the new bridge IN
Georgetown over the canal at the Aqueouct'
under the direction of the lessees OF the WASH
ington and Alexandria canal The site Will De
the same as occupied by the OLD BRIDGE ana q
9 portion of the lumber to be used IN Its con-
struction has already arrived.
A. change has been made IN the lock keeper
at the outlet lock at Georgetown, MIR. 10 IN l..
Trammell having been appointed to ill the
place of Timothy Coleman.
The Cumberland Union says: "Notwlth-
standing the great freshet which occurred last
week. the canal has sustained no material in
iury, and boats arc still arriving from the lower
end A large amount of coal is to be sent east
during the remaining part of the boating sea-
SOD, and we arc informed that sehooners are
waiting at Alexandra for their cargoes OF coal.
During the month of July 442 boats arrived
at Georgetown, and the tolls collected during
that time amounted to $4,000.
A letter received on Saturday states that
the strike at Cumberland has not been settled
vet and that the Central Coal Company had
acceeded to the demands Of the strikers. while
The other companies were determined to hold
out.
On Saturday night last, as is learned by tel
egraph, meeting Of the boatmen was held at
Cumberland, at which resolution was adopted
authorizing the preparation of paper for sig
natures, stating that unless the coal COM
papies complied with the demands of the
boatmen, the stock should be turned loose this
morning, but up to noon to-day no names had
been appended to the paper, and it is expected
that compromise has been effected, and that
boats commenced loading at Cumberland this
morning. There is now no coal IN Baltimore
and transportation over the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, it is stated, will be interrupted tor at
least one week longer, though President Garrett
says the interruption will not continue beyond
Thursday next, the 9th instant, and had it not
been for this inopportune strike of the boatmen
an immense amount of coal would have been
brought here by the canals AS it is coal is
now being shipped from here to Baltimore in
large quantities some of the companies whose
agencies are located in this city having had
heavy supply on hand when the strike occurred.
The boats now arriving here left Cumberland
before the strike was agitated.

RAILROAD MATTERS. reference to the
items in relation to railroad matters, which
were copied in yesterdays Gazette from the
National Intelligencer, the Washington Star
of yesterday says:
s"The IntelIgeucer, we apprehend, is mista
ken in snnnosipg that the Alexandria Canal
and Bridge Company has any relations formed
with Mr.. Garrett of the kind indicated. 1t is
true we believe, that parties are now making
survey on the line mentioned on route agi,
tated by the Board OF Trade q year ago, around
north of Washington, back of Georgetown
Heights, and through two tunnels, one SIX
hundred feet and one eight hundred feet, to
the Georgetown aqueduct. The survey Is not
made by the Bridge and Canal Company, and
tie superstition is that is made by the Baltl'
more and Ohio Railroad Company. These
Companies have had no conference or under
standing in reference to crossing at the aque-
duct bridge The Bridge Company propose to
make railroad bridge and branch road along
the canal bank, in accordance with their fran
chise, but not for the benefit OF any particular
railroad company. The Orange and Alexan-
dria Road, the Baltimore and Ohio Road, or
any other, road may avail themselves OF 1t to
make through connection by paying tor the
privilege.
Mr.. Garrett holds, we believe, that the Long
Bridge route is the true line Of connection be-
tween his road and the Orange and Alexandra
road but it is probable that in view of the OPP
position now being made to his entrance into
the heart of the city, he is looking to route
north of the city, on the line of the survey
above mentioned.

Railroad Company VS.. the Winchester and Pc
tomac Railroad Company, to recover damages
for the railroad iron, alleged to have been taken
from the former road and placed upon the lat
ter, which is set for this term, has been post
poned to special term commencing on the
goth of January next. The amount involved
is about $4,000, the estimated value OF the
iron taken. These rails were removed FROM the
bed of the Manassas road and placed upon that
of the Winchester aud Potomac road during
the last year of the war, by the military author
tiles of the United States for the tranSporta-
ton of supplies to Gen. Sheridan's army, oper-
ating in the Valley. At the close of the war,
the Winchester ard Potomac road, including
the rails in controversy, was restored to Its
owners, by order Of the War Departm -
The form of action is that of trover and CONVEX
sion. A number of nice points OF International
law and beligerent rights are involved, and the
discussion by the eminent counsel engaged is
anticipated with great interest, as well by the
community at large as by the stockholders OF
the respective companies whose interests are at
stake. John Randolph Tucker, Judge VIM.
