In accordance with the call advertised in THE Stax, the citizens of South Washing- ton met at St. Dominic’s hall, corner of 6th and F streets southwest, Cong night, bd Lod urpose of giving expression in opposition to The pansage of ry bill No. 2,522, R., whico roposes to construct a Union raliroad in the Pistriet of Columbia, introduced February zsth, and referred to the Committee on the District of Columbia. WHAT THE BILL PROVIDES. It may be proper to state that the preamble to this bill, after citing the acts of Congress giving the branch of the Baltimore and Onio railroad and the Baltimore and Potomac railroad permission Ww enter this city, goes on to assert that it is now believed to be ne- cessary to cause the removal of the depots of both compan'es from their present locations, and that a Union depot for all railroads en- tering the District will be beneficial located where it will do the least injury; that ft 1s of importance to have all railroaus connect with the Chesapeake and Ohlo canal at Georgetown; that it is deemed important that the low lands lying between the Long bridge and Georgetown be filled a and re- claimed, thereby furnishing grounds for rail- road depots, machine shops, cattle yards, &c., prevent thg Gyerfiow of the Potomas saver on thé wést side of the city, and abate the malarial-fever-breeding nuisance; that the Union railroad compan proposes: to locate, coustruct and equip a ,ail- road connecting with the B. and P. rail- road at the junction of Virginia avenue and E street south, running along E street to ith street west, thence along the bank of the river, avoiding the public grounds, to the east sideof 17th and B streets north, thence along the southerly side of the lands of the | Chesspeake and Ohio canal company and the bank of the Potomac to Rock creek, thence along Rock creek to P street north | and Boundary street, thence along and out- to some point on the Baltimore and Onio railroad; together | with two lateral lines to be ran by horse- power, one commencing at E and water Streets southwest, running southeasterly along Water street to 6th street west; the other commencing at or near K street, run- ping westerly along Water street to a point near the aqueduct bridge, Georgetown. AT THE KERTING . there were present about 100 property hold- €rs, all leading citizens of South Washing- te Father Fortune called the meeting to order, and Mr. F. A. Boswell was chosea to preside, and remarked that the people of South Washington seemed to be extremely unfortunate in being made the victims of schemes concocted for the benefit of jobbers. The impression seemed to be general that the people of South Washington have no rights that others are bound to respect. He asked, was there not room enough for @ grand union railroad north of the city, without im. ing another railroad nuisance withia the Bimits of South Washington? secretary » Bi J act? mon Joseph ft was chosen se to read the bill now Mr. C. P. Culver said he, with other FRED. DOUGLASS. A large number of colored people met Clarke's hall last night to take part in a sere- nade to Mr. P. B.S. Pinehback, who has been denied the seat in the United States Senate | fh puisiana. A series of resolatior submitted by Prof. A.M. Greer the action of the Senate and a course of Hon. ¢ orton and ot voted for Pir , were imonsly adopted. The assemblage, headed by a brase bard, then murched to the Ebvitt House, where SENATOR MORTON, with several of his friends, appeared on the balcony, and the Senator was introduced by a brief speech thank | ers for the compliment and | assuring ther that he would always work in | behalf of the colored race or any other people who wre wi justly deait with. He sustained the claims Of Pinchback, beeause he was elected by a large majority. He was heartily applauded. At the conclusion of his remarks MR. FRED DOUGLASS | delivered Bb eloquent address and was most enthusiastically eheered. The procession | then repaired to the house of Mr. Douziass, | where Mr. Pinchback is Staylog, and after music cheers were given for MR PINONBACK, | who, on being introduced, addreased the as- semblage, and in the course of his remarke ; said: “The action of the Senate in refusing me my Feat as Senator from Louisiana, after such a long, patient and weary struggle, fatly | heavily upon me; but it is not such a blow as to kill can and will survive it.” Upon technical grounds he had been denied | his seat; and, although he had sustained great pertonal loss, his people suffered j eater Joss.

He would leave with no repinings, conscious that the ordeai through which he had passed had made him more and better friends than he bad when he arrived; as bo road of which he would point to this grand demonstration given in the hour of his defeat. eae eee THE PROPOSED CHESAPEAKE AND OHIO CANAL EXTENSION.—The report of Major Merriil, of the engineer corps. on the contin- uation and completion of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, says the narrowest place through which a passage must be found for the canal is just above Cumberland. Here the space between the two halves of Will's mountain is occupied by two lines of rail- road on one bank and the national road on the other. The plan recommended consists substantially in widening the stream as far | as possible, Sustaining the sides by vertical Walls of masonry, ana then placing the canal in the bed and isolating it from Will's creek by astrorg masonry division wall. Major Merrill regards slack water navigation low Connellsville, with locks of barges, as better than an independent canal. He ex- presses the opinion that in a few years steam » +@., and of a system of locks and the Youghiogheny from the latter mn v dams on ic place to “eet saduhinn the Monongahela, a whence to Pittsburg there is a slack-water system in actual Sieteaiey foot up $24,237,- oso. Major Merrill says these estimates | would bave been materially reduced if the | dimensions of the line had been restricted to | those on the existing canal, but he estimated | for a canal larger than the Erie, because it Was evident that the route from Cumberland to Pittsvurg could have little claim for na- | onal aid unless it should pore practicable for a canal of the width and depth necessary | for the most economical transportation. He | ‘ays that he is happy to state that he be- | lieves such a canal practicable on this line. From Cumberland to George’s creek the es- Umate for the cost of the canal is $2,233,244. peoanseaicdh wi diemar WASHINGTON ANNUAL CONFERENCE M. F, CuUuRCH.—The thirteenth session of the Washington M.
