. LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. Tar Naw Post Orrice axp Custom-Houst sAT ALEXxaspRIA.—We mentioned some months Bgo the appropriation by Congress of $50,000 for the erection in the city of Alexandria of a cus- tom-house, suitable to the extensive commerce, ‘and a post office adequate to the growing wan's of thatcity. Since then the selection of a site, its purchase, the award of the building contract to Walker & McCullom of this city, and the ap- pointment of 5S. ‘T. G. Morsell, Esq_, as Govern- ment superiatendent of the work, and the com- mencement of the building have been mentioned as they occurred. The work now draws nigh to completion and attracts much attention in the city of which it will soon be one of the ornaments. The build- ing, which incindes the custom-house, post office and United States court rooms, is situated at the southwest corner of Prince and St. Asaph streets, on the highest point in the city, and not far from its centre. It sits back from the street some eight feet; is of brick, on a base of Occoquan granite, and is stuceoed in immitation of Nova Scotia sandstone. The building fronts sixty-two feet on Prince street and forty-six on St. Asaph, and is forty-six feet high, divided into three stories The granite of which its foundation is com- Tises some three feet above the surface be- re the stnecoed brick work begins, and it is so cut as to form a neat base for the superstructure Granite steps extending nearly the entire length of the Prince Street front, and rising bytwo flights tothe St Asaph street doors, reach neatly to thetop of this base, and approach five large doors, three upon Prince and two upon St.Asaph street. The first story which is thirteen and a half feet high, 1s entered-by five street doors and one tn the rear of the building, and is lighted by two large win- dows in the rear and one between the St. Asaph street doors. It is surmounted on the outside by a neat cornice which, pian rapa, ay style with the base below, makes a finish for the lower story and serves as a pediment from which rise Doric pilasters. double at the corners of the building and single in its centre, which sopport a heavy entablature that crowns the whole. The whole form a tout ensemble of solidity and beauty that does much credit to the designers. The upper stories are lighted by three windows on eech side. the mouldings surrounding which corres- | toy with the bas~ and entablatnre. The whole wilding is roofed in with iron plates put together with a durability that will defy the ravages of tims The interior of the lowerstory is nearly finished and affords the best evidence of the style in which the building will be fitted up. This, as the other stories, is Gividegby longitudinal partitions into three seetions he front section constitutes the vestibule of the post office; it is fifty-seven feet jong and thirteen feet wide, extending the entire Prince-street front, and opening by one door into Bt. Asaph st. The pavement of the vestibule is tiled, aud its walls handsomely frescoed. The ceiling is in freseo, of a design quite umiqne—in the centre. an eagle spreads its wings; the side panels present specimens of fresco painting, of the style of the committee rooms in the United States Capitol; the eastern panel exhibits a steamer upon the ocean; the western a train of ears with a locomotive just emerging from a tun- nel. This decoration, which was not included in the original plan of the building, the Alexan- drians owe to Mr. Morsell, whose design was most faithfully transferred to the stucco by Lewis Franze, of Washington. This vestibule is separated from the main room of the post cffice by a partition of iron and glass, from which open the nine ~‘ deliveries,”? and in which are found the letter boxes. Seven divi sions make up the partition, large composite Pilasters supporting the moulding that joins the ceiling separate the side divisions, which are made ps doe three small arches, the centre one rising above the rest immediately in front of the middle door on Prince street, the partition rojects im the section of an octagon which jorms the ‘‘general delivery.’ Each division has a delivery window, and the general delivery is furnixsbed with three. Sixty-four Private boxes furnisbed with keys. neacly six handred num- bered boxes, and five hundred boxes attached to the general delivery. furnish postal accommoda- tions which will serve the good people of Alex- andria until their city spreads itself. far beyond even the new limits marked out by its amended charter. None of the boxes are elevated more than six feet above the floor, and hence the nr- cessity of climbing to look into them is avoided The middie section of the building is intended for the main room of the post office, and is fifty- seven feet long, by a breadth of fifteen feet. This is at present incomplete, but will be furnished with every convenience that can facilitate the arrangements for assorting and delivering the matis ‘The rear section is divided by a couple of lat- eral partitions into three apartments; the western apartment thirteen feet by sixteen is intended as “room for the postmaster, and opens into the main room of the post office. The centre apart. ment in the bail for the reception of the mails and beside opening by a large door into the mail yard, ts also connected by smailer doors with the Post. master’s room and the custom-house entrance ‘The eastern apartment opens by a large door into ss Asaph street, and forms the main entrance to the custem-house office in the second story. Prom it an iron stairway ascends, and upon reach- ing the second story we find a large room intend- ed for general business relating to customs, a pri- vate room for the collector with = library room attached, a room for the inspectors, and a hall from which the iron staircase continues its course to the third story. This story is thirteen feet in beight The third story, which is intended for the use of the United States courts, whenever any such may be established in Alexandria, is divided similarly to the second story ; the court room is forty feet by twenty-eizht, and the ceiling is ele- vated eighteen feet. This will be one of the cool- est rooms in the city. This story also contains a clerk's office, with a room for the preservation of the records of the court, and a private room for the use of the judge. The cvllar, which being on so bigh a point is the dryest in the city, is grout- ed in cement and then paved. One portion is devoted to the furnaces Which heat the tiding, and to the storing of coal, and the other is re- served for the reception of public stores. The doors, door frames, inside blinds, and mantles are all of iron. Washstands are placed in all the rooms where they would be of service, and water closets are provided in the various stories. Of late the entire work upon the building has been under charge of the United States Superin- tendent, Mr.& ‘Tf. G_ Morsell, and certa'nly on his part no energy or taste has been lacking The appropriation has been carefully guarded. and for every dollar expended there is something to show which adds to either the appearance or convenience of the building, and consequently to ~~ vaine ‘ ‘he painting is inc die.” Phe jolagrs: work Delebay & Kem The cabinet work is to be executed by C.C Bradiey; and the iron work ix fu:nished by Hayward & Bartlett, of Baltimore Congress, at its last session appropriated $3,700 for grading the grounds adjacent to the building, &c., and the character of the superintendent is a guarantee that it will be soexpended ax to do the Mort that is possible te do with so smali a sum At is intended to lay otf the grounds in beautiful style, to plant trees on the grounds and surround them wit handsome iron railing.

We notice the fact thus, because it affords proof that Heissler was certainly the man who fired the fatal shot, as alleged by Johnson. Otherwise, convicted on the testimony of the individnal upon whom his counsel labored so intensely to fix the perpetration of the crime, he would not rest content to abide the verdict in his case. To our mind, the fact of the failure to prosecute the application, embraces evidence that Heissler was the murderer, sufficient to warrant the Prom ury in indictment of Van Loman Johnson for per the case. A Warntne To Cuinpagn.—Last night, about nine o'clock, the family and neighbors of Mr. 8. C. Davison, residing on Tenth street, were much alarmed for the safety of a little son of that gen- tleman, aged about eight ears, who bad lodged a large-size finger ring in is throat, causing him to suffer spresceny the most excruciating pain natil relief was atforded through the skill of Dr. Farnett, who was called in. ‘The Ting is about the size of a five dollar gold piece, and an eighth of an inch in thickness.” We may mention, also, that, some time since, Dr. G_ extracted from the throat of a little grand son af ex-Governor Fio d, a twelve-and a-half cent piece, which the little fellow had lodged there nearly two years previ- ous, aad which bad baffled the skill of several eminent physicians, Cextxe Marxet.—The market this morning Was not in as pleasant cond tion as the citizens destre to have it, but not worse than usual after heavy rains, when the approaches to it are muddy. ‘The attendance of dealers and purchasers was large, and business was Proportionately brisk.
