I think the carpet on the room I am sitting in, the diminished tobacco juice on the floor, the respectable and decorous attitude of the gentiemen at their desks, the refined and agreeable aspect of the whole room, may be largely due tothe fact that there are matrons and maidens sitting at desks at one end of it: and 1 will venture to assert that not one ot these ladies, for the two years they bave been here, could.ior weuld say that from the posi. tion of co-worker with men there had arisen one thing to wound the delicacy of the most sensitive lady. nor would & carefui mother feel that her daughter was not as much shield- ed from harm here as she could be in the quiet- ness ofhome.

May He biess the experiment which oar re- publican Government bas made of giving to ‘women & share of its work and its wages.”” ——___—_ ALEXANDRIA AND VicrniTy.—From the Alexandria Gazette of Saturday we clip the mown: Prot. Paul Gregory, who has been ct. ing on the farm of Col. John Powell, in Fair fax county, near Vienna Station, on the Alex- andria, Loudoun, and Hampshire railroad, bas succeeded, after boring one bundred and firty feet, in “striking oll.” The “flow” atthis depth is not very plentiful, but the boring will be continued, and Prof. Gregory is confident that “lower” be will find an abundantsupply.

THE Expor on OULD Rall Roap MONoPoLy — The Legisiacure of Virginia, when railroads were great curiosities and objects of admira- tuon and wonder with the masses, granted to the Fredericksburg and Potomac railroad the exclusive privilege for thirty years of con- veying passengers to and from Washingten to Ricbmond. In toe course of ume when the Junction of the Central and Orange and Alex- apcria railroads at Gerdonsvilie gave a con- Upuons line of rosd to Washington, thus char- ter monopoly of the Fredericksburg road was fiercely questioned and contested, but the Spe- cual Court of Appeals sustaimed the validity of the right secured by the charter, ana al- lowed to the Fredericksburg road the enjoy- ment of every bour of its thirty years’ mo- nopoly of through travel. The Uentral and Orange roads were forbidden to do anything in contravention ef the chartered rights of the other railroad, and were not permitted to issue through tickets or to run freight or passenger cars all the way through from Richmond to Washington. On yesterday the thirty years ended, and the monopoly expired. The pub. lhe will hereafter enjoy the advantages of througb and tickets by two great lines to Washington.
