q direct communication with the James River
improvements and the southwestern works, and
thus attract large portion of the rich cotton
crops Of those fertile regions to jackson City,
where transfer to tonnage must necessarily
take place, and thus of course. confer q great
advantage on that locality for the cotton trade.
1.-The great thoroughfare of travel between
the North and South, Southwest, will be through
Baltimore and the District cities, when the
works at present under way are completed;
and It Is probable that many years will not
elapse before direct communication by means
Of railroads will be open between the District Of
Columbia and New Orleans, and the former
will become the recipient of the advantages
= which will result from those great works, which
will embrace a large portion Of the middle,
western and southwestern parts of the Union
and converge upon her as a common center"
THE placing or laying of the foundation stone
Of Jackson City was notable event in
local history The population of the District
at that time was around forty thousand and
of the city of Washington about twenty thou
sand, and, Judging by the reports, nearly every
body turned out to witness the parade and
the ensuing exercises, in which the idol of the
people, for whom the city was named, was a
conspicuous part.
Few of the newspapers here or elsewhere
looked upon the project seriously, nearly all
OF tnem taxing the whole matter as huge
joke. A Georgetown paper little bit more
rabid than the rest, had this to say:
1.-The public has from time to time heard
something Of these movements. It was known
that q fair city was already spread out on
this happy spot-on the map; but until the
late publication in the Globe Of a correspond
ence between the committee of this association
and the President of the United States few
believed in the serious reality Of so chimerical
a project. OF the style Of the letter of the
committee, inviting the President to lay the
corner stone We do not care to speak. Whether
or not the term of fulsome in its adulation
would be justly applicable to it, each taste
must judge for itself. In thousand cases
the language which when spoken of great
man would challenge cordial assent, addressed
directly to him awakens feeling which would
bear q stronger name than we care to desig
nate it by.
1.-THE President could not. however, of course,
refuse to comply with such request, whatever
might be the feelings covered over beneath
the courtesy Of his reply
I'VE know none of these parties, not having
deemed the project sufficiently serious to make
much inquiry into it. We do, however, know
the project to be wholly chimerical and alb
surd; and we believe it to be simply one Of
those specializing operations by which the

constantly seeking to perform the miracle Of
creating something out OF nothing. Perhaps
the plan may yet take the gullibility Of the
Northern rage for land speculation; the first
attempt a short time ago failed-was but q
flash in the PAM and the proposed great COM
mercial city dropped quietly out Of the i'm
portance into which the first announcement
seemed designed to swell it. into the significance
Of too palpable specializing hoax. 1t may yet.
however, be revived, with such 'pomp and cir
cumstance' and under such auspices enrich
the lucky projectors by raising to temporary
artificial value stock and lots. which. in
trinsically worth little or nothing, to that
nothing are soon destined to return.
1T will be seen that we do not attach sufi-
Gent importance to this scheme, Of which the
success would, Of course be very injurious to
the interests Of the old cities of the District,
to argue seriously against its feasibility. Its
character is too obvious and palpable to need
or to deserve it,
THE Georgetown and Alexandria people were
not very enthusiastic over the proposed new
city. Georgetown, in particular, was always
careful not to indorse any project that might
tend to take away from her wharves and
warehouses even the slightest bit of commerce,
and, as Jackson City was expected to do con-
siderable Of this, the editors Of the West End
newspapers hguratively threw monkeywrenches
in every direction, hoping that one might land
in vital spot and perchance kill the whole
project. One editor said:
THE foundation of Jackson City was really
an event. Washington, that IS soon to
fade before it, turned out her thousands to
honor the birthday of her rival with as much
apparent joy as if they were going to
holiday instead Of to the burial Of their own
metropolis. The inhabitants Of the District
are greatly indebted, at all events, to the
originators Of that precious humbug for the
pleasure Of the most joyous gala they have
had for years 1t was certainly a capital hit
to chriten their bantling by the nlustrious
name they gave it, and a still better one to
enlist in its behalf the good and kind feelings
of our venerated Chief Magistrate, who never
refuses to do generous act. The respect and
esteem in which the President is held, and his
great personal popularity, made every one.

OF that splendid structure was crowded with
q stream of population, gathered from every
corner Of the District and the neighboring
counties of Virginia and Maryland, and which
kept pouring in one continuous current toward
the appointed spot
PRESIDENT JACKSON it is said joined the

United States arrived upon the ground. I'VE
never saw Gen. Jackson look better" says q
contemporaneous writer, who added He was
accompanied by Col Earle, Gov. Cass. and Mr..
Forsyth. and with characteristic politeness, he
refused to put on his hat though the day was
raw and clustering. as he walked the files OF
the congratulating crowd-not one OF whom but
felt proud to see that honored head, silvered
with the snow of a vigorous old age, devoted,
as every one believed. in its best energies to
his country's cause
1.-THE foundation stone consisted of two
seats of perishable freestone, one sunk in the
EARTH with hole cut for the reception OF the
box. and the other slung by pulleys above it.
photographic print representing the intended
monument, was circulated, which showed an
elevation most ominously like a tombstone, in

after the stone was laid, the President and
the gentlemen by whom he was accompanied
were conducted to q platform erected for the

addressed the crowd. After the collation., at

Every one laughed at the days success, at
all events which had crowned the bold device
of the fertile genius that directed the affair;
but the general opinion was that the last
abandoned scheme Of bringing . colony Of
beavers from Fall River to the same place,
and setting up national fur factory, was
decidedly the more feasible and appropriate
of the two Innumerable were the Jokes we
heard cracked on all sides OF US on the sub
ject; and the general impression seemed to
be- that the only way for Dick, and his New
York capitalists to get out Of the scrape, would
be to make a graveyard Of the place, and
thereby found at least City of the Dead
OF COURSE, there had to be a parade
~ incidental to the exercises, for Washing
ton rarely celebrates any important occasion
without q parade, a brass band and fireworks,
and this was no exception. The start was
formed in front of Browns Hotel at 10 O'Clock
in the morning Browns Hotel being now the
Metropolitan.
First came the Marine Band, and then in
order: The Committee Of the Jackson City
Association, Grand Lodge of the District Of
Columbia, Independent Order Of Odd Fellows,
orator. heads Of departments, members Of
Civil Department Of the United States, military
officers of the United States officers Of the
Army and Navy officers Of the Militia Of the
District Of Columbia, members and officers OF
the Councils of Washington, Georgetown. Alex
andra and gilmore: judges and officers OF
the several &C .fs in the District OF Columbia.
officers and members Of literary, mechanical
and other societies.; professors and students OF
seminaries Of learning, citizens and strangers.
We are told that the following citizens were
appointed marshals for the day: John Dulany.
R. Beale, j. N. Moulder. Col. Brearley Col.
Hodson, Capt. Brockett Col. D. Butler. Edward
w. Clark e. Mason, j. Mason, Maj. T. B. Reilly
and E. J. Hume That the citizens might not
doubt that these men were Of distinctive
rank as they marched along in the parade,
they were told to appear in blue sashes.
AT 10 O'clock" according to the press, the
dense mass of population, on foot and dis
posed in every species of locomotive from the
splendid carriage. and prancing hunter down
to the humble dearborn, and rezinate, moved
off from the rendezvous at Browns Hotel. in
the direction of the Long Bridge. The inspir-
ing strains of martial music, the gay para
phernalia of the Masonic fraternity and the
green banners of the Hibernian Society. with
the motley. and highly respectable appearance
of the crowd, gave great excitement and an
imposing effect to the procession. 1t was a
fine sight, to stand upon the opposite side.
