~ THE Neao York Tribune COM
mends one feature of the news which
comes up from the sorely tried manu-.
featuring districts. That paper
says: ''It is pleasant to observe
that there is a general desire on the
part of the employers.to keep their
working force together, and provide
them, as far as possible, with tenn
porary employment. This feature
ofthe present disturbance has been
noted before. Possibly it may have
the effe t to bring employers and
employed into more satisfactory
relations in the future"

.RAlLRoAD.-The Washington correspondent
OF the Baltimore SUP says THE work at the
Potomac river end Of the East Alexandria rail
road, which is to connect the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad with the Virginia railroad at AL
exaudria, was begun yesterday. The railroad
reaches re- the Potomac river at point in Blue
rIalns immediately opposite the outlet lock Of
the Alexandria canal. This point, which is
near Goose Egg Island, extends into the river
10 greater distance than any portion of land
IN the ncighborhood. and the river is much
narrower than that at any point in it's course be-
low Georgetown. The channel way there is
less than half milc wide, and the water at the
Old coal wharvcs. near the outlet Of the canal
on the Virginia shore quite level. The Virginia
Midland road extends already within about one
hundred and fifty yards Of this point, and could
easily be extended through there on piles,
while the Washington and Ohio road passes
within lcaping distance of the rivers edge at
inns point, so that half mile of water naviga-
lon available for steamboats, of the largest class
viii be all that is needed to be crossed to make
the connection"
