Andria Gazette of yesterday afternoon says:— “The Secretary ot War has ordered General | Canby, commander of the Department of Wash- ington, to turn over to the lessees of the Alex. andria Canal the Aqueduct over the Potomas at Georgetown, en the 2th instant.” The Journal says: — is due to Judge Underwood to state that he bas been untiringly engaged for some weeks past in endeavoring to remove trom the minds of the Secretary ana other Government officials, impressions which had been created by the gross misrepresentations of Georgetown property-holders and those in their interest. Tbrough the energetic efforts of the lessees, and the valuable co-operation of Judge U., the tacts have been fairly laid before the Secretary, ard the rights and privileges so long And so suecestfully withheld by such unscrupulous measures, haye been restored, and, we trust, permanen'ly secured to our cit- iz * We know that Judge Underwood and Gen. Welles (one of the lessees) have had sey- eral interviews with the Secretary of War and General Canby in reference to this matter: but have reason to believe that the announcement that the Aqueduct will be immediately sur- rendered to the lessees on the 2th instant is, to say the least, premature —_e—_—__ DisGRacEFvL.—Last night, the colored fancy had a dance at the house on C street, near 13th, Hooker's Division, kept by Margaret Jackso! They were haying a merry time, until the pro- fanity and disorderly conauct of some of the company attracted Serg’t Sheid, who with a squad of the Second Ward police closed in upon the house. secured the doors, and cap- tured forty-two of the company, twenty- six males and sixteen females. The men were all colored, but it was humiliating to seeamong the females two young and very good looking white girls. The law makes no distinction of color, and the girls no doubt practice upon the principle of the law. Justice Morsell exam- ined the cases this morning, and fined all alike $3 tor a disorderly gathering. The musicians of the party were dismissed. mies I DEALING IN GOVERNMENT CLoTHING.—For some time past the officers of the 12th S.

These partes were arrested and taken before Justice Handy. The woman having only purchased atew for her husband, not knowing how they were obtained, refasing to purchase more. was dismissed, the Colonel declining to prosecute. The others were held to bail for court. so ACCIDENT AT THE TREASURY EXTENSION.— This morning, about 11 o'clock, a workman on the Treasury extension, named James Don- nelly, employed in adjusting the rigging of the derricks for hoisting the granite blocks tor the gateway now being constructed on the ay- enue, between the President's House and Treasury building, fell from a tree, where he was securing one of the lines.
