ALEXANDRIA.

An esteemed friend has sent US an account
from the st. Louis Missouri Republican, Of
what are called Astounding Discoveries, y
made BY those engaged in erecting the piers
for the bridge over the Mississippi such as a
tunnel under the river, pilastered halls, under
ground chambers--in short, ''pre historic re-
mains, dating back to the foundation OF the
Assyrian empireW We have given the account
our serious consideration, and agree with our
friend, that it must remind every one of the
Archaeological article in the Gazette, when the
excavations were being made at the Mansion
House in this place. Perhaps the learned
pundit, who exercised bis talents on that oc-
casion, may be on visit to st. Louis. Nor is
it unlikely that prof Bacchio," who has
elaborated the Mississippi wonders, is as dis,
tiuguished in st, Louis, as our professor who
examined and reported upon the wonderful
bones, &c, discovered under the foundations
at the Mansion House

The Washington correspondent OF the Balti,
more Sun says: San impression seems to be
gaining ground that the reconstruction com
mittee will report in favor of the suggestions OF
the Virginia committee of nine. but in view Of
the amount of business pressing upon the House
it is feared that whatever bill may be reported
will fail of enactment Tor want OF time The
Washington correspondent of the Baltimore
Gazette says: ''Col Baldwin is becoming
satisfied that the whole proceeding is misera-
bic farce" Our readers must form their own
conclusions, in the midst ofthese contradictory
statements from Washington. A letter we
have received from Washington says do
not believe that Congress will pass, at present,
any bill for removing disabilities from the
present Judges in Virgins" On the other
hand, some Thick, some OF the Judges will be
relieved"

In late speech of Mr.. Reverdy Johnson,
delivered IN London, at meeting Of the work
ing men, to which he was invited, be made
reference to the abolition of slavery in this
country, and took the ground that people here
had changed their opinion as TO the mental
difference between whites and black. But, as
IS remarked by the Baltimore Sun, that GER
tainIy does not follow from the mere fact Of
emancipation, which does not bear upon opin-
ions on the subject one way or the other. By
The way, some Of Mr.. Johnson's speeches, the
one to which we now refer, especially, have
been subjected to quite severe criticism.

ROBBERY AND ARREST. The sleeping
apartment of Mr.. Thomas Paxton, at Piedmont,
West Virginia, was entered one night last
week, and his clothing, which was placed on a
chair near the bed on which he was sleeping,
carried off. In the pockets of his clothing
were 81 200, 500 in gold, fine gold watch,
and several other articles of value. About
the same time young man named Clalk,
who had been boarding with Mr.. Paxton,
disappeared. This naturally aroused sus-
picion and subsequently he was arrested, The
Winchester Times says he is native OF Mary
land, and served in both armies during the
late war. The Times adds that upon his per-
son were found Mr.. Paxton watch, gold. and
sixty-fVe dollars in greenbacks, lA.
