"Colored Schools" in reply to Mr.. Lloyd's
last, which we will publish in our next

rejoinder. After this the controversy must

East Alexandria Railroad.
The Alexandria Gazette of Wednesday
says: THE connection between the Vir-
ginia Midland and the East Alexandria
Railroads by ferry at this city, to have
been made to day was delayed in conse-
quence of defect in the slip ON the oppe-
site side of the river, which, however, can
be remedied by the removal of two piles
the work of few hours, so that the
transfer will probably be made tomorrow.
Freight alone will be transferred for the
! first few days, or until everything works
smoothly, but on Monday next, probably,
passenger cars will also be transferred. A
wharf will be constructed at once at the
western terminus of the East Alexandria
Railroad at which the Quantico steamer
will make connection with the road, and
accommodation trains will be run between
there and Baltimore, with which the ferry
boats running between this city and WASH

route, freight from Baltimore will be land
ed in Lynchburg in twenty-five hours"
