OBITUARY..

There are many persons living in Alexandria
who will be sore y greved to hear Of the death
of Mrs. MATILDA RHETT, wife of &. h
Rhett, esq, and daughter Of the late Judge
Thomson F. Mason.
She died quite suddenly yesterday morning. III
Baltimore, ut 10 o'clock. She had resided there
since the close of the war.
Her funeral will take place in Alexandria, on
Friday morning, from ColrosS, the residence Of
her mother
Though it has been long time since she lived
in Alexandria, there areyet those who remember
her with infinite pleasure in the bright days VI
her youth No less lovely in character than she
Was beautiful in person, her death will pain and
cloud the hearts of her numerous surviving
friends and relatives
Mrs Rhett, in her early years, was widely
known admired and loved. Her charms Of per
son and character attached to her all who CAME
within their influence. Without the arts or wile-
of coquettc, she yet by the grace and simplicity
of her manners the attractions OF her beauty,
and, above all, by the sincerity and frankness Of
her nature, extorted admiration and homage
from taste, refinement and affection wherever
she met them. Such was the sweetness of her
character and disposition that her beauty didnot
even excite the jealousy of her sex, but women
and men alike, old and young, We'd with each
other in paying tribute to her charms and virtues.
As married woman, she was no less attrar-
tive though the sphere Of her usefulness was al
most exclusively confined to the domestic circle
and to the unobtrusive and unfrequented walks
of private charity. Here she shown rs brightly
rs She had previously done in early life, in the
halls Of gaycty and fashion.
Her death is represented TO have been calm
and peaceful. 1t could hardly have been other
wise in one who in her life contributed so much
joy, brightness and happiness to others.

1t is with great pleasure, that We are ena-
bled to lay before our readers this week a
report of the action Of the Directors Of the
w. d o. Road, at their recent meeting in
Philadelphia, which at least indicates that the
Directors themselves are in earnest and con-
fdent of their ability to carry on the work.
At this meeting the route OF the road
through Clarke was definitely fixed. 1t is that
known as the Pigeon Hill survey, which crosses
the pike leading from Berryville to Wildwood
near Berlin's blacksmith shop about % miles
from Berryvile, and crossing the Opeuuon at
Helms Mill. Work on the road is to common
'e,e by the first of May next, and the whole to
he finished from Hamilton to Winchester by
~ the 1st of May, 1872 The charter requires
this to be done under penalty of forfeiture.
From a gentleman of this place who convers-
ed With q leading Director of the Road living
in Alexandria, we learn the following addition
al partic, liars. Our Winchester friend was
somewhat incredulous, and suggested that it
would require a large force and abundant means
to complete the road to Winchester by the
time specific d to which the Director re-
piled that 18th same people who had built the
Pacific road were going to build this. He
farther stated that every foot of the road be-
tween Hamilton and Winchester will be under
contract by the first of April next and that
the charter would not be allowed to lapse for
want of either energy or means We congrat-
ulate our fellow citizens upon the bright pros
pect thus presented to them, in the sincere
hope that the Directors of the road have not
their means and ability to carry
out the programme as above indicated.
When the Road reaches Winchester it will
have acquired such momentum, and inspired
such confidence, that the Western reserves
will promptly rally 10 its aid, and cause its
rapid construction to the coal fields. and
thence across the mountains to the mouth Of the
Kanawha, where the great bulk Of future
business on the nayigabc streams OF the West
will be concentrated, for shipment to the mar

Sharp Debate in the House Of Repre-.
!, - 8 ~ SentatfveS. =

Inthe House of Representatives yesterday
when the Deficiency appropriation bill was up,
Mr. Famsworth made his periodical attack on
Mr. Butler, and charged all sorts OF short
comings against him. Mr.. Farnsworh, did not
mention Butler name, for that would not have
been parliamentary, but every member knew
politics the member alluded to had, and Mr.
Farnsworth replied that he WAS once Demo
crat, but was now of that uncertain kind of
politics, that it was hard to TELL Among the
charges made was one that Butler had OBJ
tanned possession of mirrors purchased for the
Treasury Department, and had used them to
furnish his own house. Another charge was,
that he had used his public position to enrich
himself and was the real owner Of the quarry
out of which the granite WAS taken for the New
York and Boston custom house buildings -
Butler of course, denied the impeachment,
but Mr.. lfarnswOrth returned to the charge
with renewed vigor and declared that Ill he
had asserted was susceptible OF the clearest
proof.
That which gave rise to the most exciting
and bitter discussion was the paragraph III rea,
ton to al appropriation for Il hospital Tor the
Freedmen Bureau MeSsrs Wood, Cox, and
McNeely wanted to know how it was that this
large appropriation Of $4,000 woo required,
when by law the operation of the bureau, ex,
cept for educational purposes, should have
ceased Oh January |, 1869 and especially,
too, after the charges had been made, and in
great part sustained, against General Howard
Mcssrs. Hoar, Dawes, and Townsend hastened
| to General Howard defence, and the debate
assumed altogether L partisan tone.
Mr.. Wood who had made the motion t
strike out the appropriation for the hospital
said he had not intended that his motion SHOULD
result in partisan discussion, He only wanted
to call the attention Of the House to the larg,
appropriation and to have it stricken out. A:
General Howard had been 50 earnestly defend
ed, however, he would assert that Of the
fifteen charges he had preferred against him
fourteen of them had been sustained
Mr. Townsend did not pretend to argue upon
the merits Of the case but appealed to the pre-
JUDGES of the Republican members BY charges
that Mr. Wood was disloyal at the beginning
of the late war Mr.. Wood hurled the
charge back into the teeth of his assaiant.

bers of the San Domingo commission indicate
the political situation there, and show the prin-
cipal difficulty in the way Of the annexation Of
the island to the U. S. So far as the commits
sion have yet been able to learn, the views Of
the people are generally favorable to annexa-
ton, but the Haytien end of the island is uu-
alterably opposed to any such step. In fact to
such an extent does this opposition run that it
is believed that Hayti is actually supporting
