POPULATION OF ALEXANDRIA. From an
article on the history &c, Of Alexandria, pre-
pared by the reporter of the Washington TX
press, We extract the following relating to pop
ulation furnished by Mr.. j, G. Clark, Gem
missioner of the Revenue:
population OF the city at this time about
IA. 900 or Is, 900, OF which two thirds are white,
the whole population being reduced 1000 dur
ing the years 1867 and 1863 by emigration,
The depletion in this direction has ceased, and
the indications now point to an early Increase,
consequent upon material improvement and
the completion of great internal improvements
The population OF the rural district OF the
county OF Alexandra will reach ., 600, OF whom
about one half arc white. This shows an in
crease OF more than one thousand inhabitants,
who have been attracted hither since the COM
ple,;on OF the aqueduct bridge and the opening
Of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal.
I'VE hardly think the entire population OF
the city is as great as estimsted-or that two
thirds of it are white. The white majority,
however. is increasing
