from the Instructive report of the President OF
the Commercial Exchange in Wednesdays
Gazette, there was decrease of lS9,G3l bush
els of grain in the Alexandria market for the

occasioned mainly by the extensive drought

local freights of this roaa were lighter than II

And vet notwiths standing these heavy eXpen1-
lures incurred by the road, it is to day III more
prosperous condition than 1t has ever been,
with its stock of material increased and re

connected with that section, and nothing him

bacco trade from that region. This extension
besides developing the resources OF the coun-
try through which it passes, forms an imror-
tant link which completes the connection with
the Southern cities, very much shortening the
present route via Richmnd
The present prosperous condition of the rial
is attributable in considerable measure to the
correcl judgment, resolute decision and inde-

perilous task Of directing its management in
the CRIPPLED con lition in which it was left along

The Washington CORRESPONDENT of the Baitl-

is in town, and was on the floor OF the House
this afternoon in conversation with many OF
the democratic members. He expressed the
opiuion that the Virginia delegation would sup
mort Greeley and Brown in the Baltimore CON
vention, and that the State would ratiiy that
nomination if made by the convention. The
feeling among the mclu;;ers seems to grow
stronger every day in favor Of allowing the con,
veution to decide the great question OF such
ratification without attempting to Influence the
result by speeches and letters FROM meuibers OF
the party Even among those opposed to
adopting the Cincinnati ticket no special candl.
dates are talked about unless, possibly, the
name of Judge Davis is now and then favora-
bIy mentioned The statement that he has de-
Glued the Columbus nomination AMI is not in
the field is denied on the best Authority.
Whether it will appear or not before the l'altl
more convention is yet To be seen.
