GRAIN TRADE.-An who have read our mar
ket reports carefully prepared daily, must
have been struck with the fact that, as in for
mer years, Alexandra has we'll sustained her
reputation as a most excellent grain market,
the prices paid for Wheat, Corn, Rye, and
Oats, comparing Eavorably with those reported
in Baltimore and Richmond; indeed, for some
time, during the past winter and this spring,
Corn commanded higher figures here than 10
either Of the above named cities, while, quality
considered the quotations for Wheat have been
about equal. The experiment of sending grain
to Richmond and Baltimore, by farmers and
country merchants living on the lines of direct
communication with Alexandria, thereby incur
ring greater expense in transportation, COM
mission charges, &C., has been frequently tried
and in nine cases out Of ten proved unpro6t-
able, better price, and with about one half
the extra charges having been obtained for
the article, of similar quality, in this place.
Our grain trade has, for the past few years,
been steadily increasing, and the annual exhi-
bits made by the Commercial Exchange show
that as the country continues to improve the
trade grows in proportion, being the best evil
dence that those who make Alexandria their
market are we'll satisfied with the prices paid
for their produce here.

TIE WASHINGTON AND ONO RAILROAD
In reference to the matter of this road, we
would repeat that it was never our intention to
advocate the offer of any impeachment to trade
and travel to Washington; but, on the contrary:
we desire that every facility should be afforded
our friends iu Loudoun, as elsewhere in the
State, for the transportation Of their produce
to the market where the highest prices can be
obtained, we'll knowing that upon the success
of the agriculturists depends the growth and
prosperity, not only Of Alexandria, but Of every
city and town in Virginia, and that therefore
their interests must be cared for and promoted
by all the means in our power. In order, how
ever to give to the citizens of Hamilton, and
all other points on the line, the facilities desired
we do not think that the management OF the
Washington and Ohio Railroad are called upon,
or would be justified in the use of the means of
the company, subscribed for and intended to
be applied to the construction of the work to
it's ultimate destination on the Ohio, in build
ing branch to city without the State, and
that has repeatedly refused to lend aid, materi-
al or otherwise, save ina donation; by one or
two of its citizens of one thousand dollars, said
branch to tap the main line at a point that
must needs operate, in point Of distance, pre-
iudicaly to the interest Of Alexandria, whose
citizens have, with that liberality for which
they are noted, aided 10 such an extent in max
ing this road to the doors of those who now
complain that an attempt is being made to
'.jo,ce'' trade here. If there is to be discrimi-
nation, them as we have before said, let it be
in favor of Alexandria, without whose aid the
citizens of Loudoun would probably not now
be enjoying the advantages of direct railroad
flcilities, and we repeat, that in the efforts Of
the President of the road to attract trade to
this city he will receive the hearty commenda
ton of our people, who, however, would be the
last to throw obstacles in the way of the farm
ers, to prevent them from seeking other markets
by the most direct means, but who do not like
to be placed in the position of building road
for others use entirely, The change in the
name of the road, which, by the way, in our
humble judgment, should never have been
made aud tho objoot had in view having sig
uuly failed, so far, can certainly have no weight
10 furthering the proposed connection, in as
much as we doubt if the city referred to would
advance any amount towards the completion of
the road to its destination, and until that is
done, and better reason shown to exist for
the carrying out of the plans of our friends at
Hamilton, we must, as 10 duty bound, per-
sist in maintaining our former position, and
urging upon he President and Directors of the
Washington and Ohio Railroad Company to
keep prominently in view the interests of our
good old town.

gentleman in Pennsylvania walked forty miles
to pay a subscription to newspaper. This is
severe rebuke to the many who would walk
forty miles to keep from paying their subscrip-
tons. And unfortunately for newspaper pub
fishers, there are many who give themselves no
concern about their newspaper Indebtedness.
