RIVER News. Affairs on the river and at
tie wharves continue very dull, and hardly
anything worth mentioning has occurred since
yesterday. The steamer Virginia, of the
Maryland ferry line, which has been undergo
ing repairs for the past lew days, resumed her
trips yesterday evening, She will hereafter,
unless prevented by the ice, run regularly from
shore to shore, and in addition to her trips to
Opossum Hall, will also make two trips daily
to Fort Foote. The steamship b. g. knight
sailed to-day at twelve o'clock for New York
with full freight. The supply of oysters at
the wharf is plentiful, but they are selling at
high rates. A rather novel sight was witness,
ed on King street wharf yesterday evening"
About eighteen colored women who were gather.
ing chips there were told fthey would unload
barge with cargo of wood, then lying there,
they might have the bark. They Immediately
set to work, and it is said, did more work in a
little time than the same number of men of
their own color were ever known to do.

MISTAKE CORRECTED Many of our CO.
temporaries seem to be under the impression
that because the Alexandria Gazette is seventy
years old, the editor is of that age, too. He is
old enough, in all conscience; but has not
reached seventy, 'by considerable" The Ca
zette was established by his father, who con-
tnued its publication until his death in 1881
and, in that year, when very young man, the
present editor succeeded The Local thinks
the senior is quite willing to have the mistake
corrected-aDd has no wish to be considered a
day older than he really is.

ORANGE, ALEXANDRIA & MANASSAS RAIL
ROADS. A recent trip over the Manassas Gap
Railroad from Strasburg to Manassas, and on
the Orange & Alexandria road from Manassas
to Lynchburg and back to Alexandria, enables
us to speak knowingly when we declare them
to be amongst the best conducted roads in the
country. These roads are subst antially built ;
the cars are handsomely finished, clean and
well heated, and the employees polite and at
tentive. This is due to the administrative
ability OF the President, Mr.. Barbour, and the
excellent management of Mr.. Henry W. Van
degrft, Superintendent Under such efficient
management, these roads cannot fail to become
paying corporations. = Winchester Times.
