AQUEDUCT BRIDGE-A correspondent Of
the Washington Republican writing from Alex
andria county says :--"In the name of a much
oppressed community, resident in the ncighhor-
Ing counties of Virginia, we desire to call the
attention Of Congress to the pressing necessity
OF relief from the cruel impostions of that
hard-hearted monopoly, known as the Alexan-
dria Canal and Aqueduct Bridge Company
Through the exactions of this close corpora
lion in their demands for an exorbtant toll rate
the people Of Alexandria and Fairfax counties
are, 10 their social and business relations with
Georgetown and the city of Washington, suf-
icrcrs to an unappreclated extent, Promises
OF relief for macy years have been made to our
ears and broken to our hopes. Our represen-
tatyes have on the hustlngs threatened death
to this usurpatlon, but it still lives, sucking the
blood Of its victims. Of the produce Of our
hard labor and industry, which necessity COM
pels US to market 10 the District, large mar
gin goes to this outrageous monopoly 10 the
shape of to we must satisfy this Shylock with
one pound OF flesh, or remain starving on the
southern bank Of the Potomac, seeing heaven
and feeling hell. Surely such oppression is
against the genius Of the present century, and
has not the time come for the adjustment of
such old traditional landmarks as toll-gates on
our highways and toli-bridges across our rivers,
especially at the very threshold Of the Capitol.
The bill recently introduced by Senator
Hitchcock, and referred to the Committe on
the District of Columbia, promises tortaste
of that relief so long hoped. While We think
the avenues of approach to our National Capt.
tai should on all sides be free and unobstructed
yet as the drowning man catches at the hoating
straw, even We clutch with eagerness this quasi
measure"

For the Bellows Falls Times.
Friendship, Love and Truth,

Love is the dew drop that may tremble,
In the heart of the rose. in the morn,
But e'er the stars Of night assemble.
The rose is withered. the dew is gone.
Friendship is the star appearing,
In sky that's bright and fair;
When we think it so endearing.
In trials oft 1t is not there,
Truth is like a sun that's beaming
With pure and steady ray,
Changing not in brightness cleaning,
When earth's charms are passed away.
