Lacey, in a communication to THE Stak, incloses a copy of his letter, filed yester- day with the District Commissioners, asking suspension of the order of closing the Aqueduct bridge until Saturday night next, and says of it: “My prayer is tor the citizens ot Alexandria county, Va., and not for the lessees. They are able to take care of their own interests, and I presume will try to do so. But I regird the embargo laid on the bridge as an unwarranted burden saddied upon us, who are citizens and residents of Virgiuia.

Anyone who strolled into the arsenal grounds, to-day might easily have been led to suppose that the United States government had adopted @new, or rather very old weapon for its sv diers, for over the lawn arrows were flying through the air, and a score of bold archers were bending their long bows. The government, however, had very little todo with the affair, It was the sixth annual meet of the Potomac archers, and it was held on the level tree-skirted Jawn of the arsenal grounds by the grace of Gen, Gibson, At the head of the lawn stood eight archery targets in arow. Nearat hand the Third artillery band was stationed and dis- coursed sweet music at intervals during the day's sport. | ‘The archers assembled at ten o'clock, and after watching the morning artil- lery driil donned their quivers and arm shields, Mimbered their bows and began the pleasant business that called therg there.

One gentleman Wore asa scart pin a jasper arrowhead, while others had urchery embioms wrought in gold, ‘The archers talked enthusiastically of the sport asa means of healthful recreation, and spoke proudly of their champions, Maxson, Bartlett and others, whose fame among archers is almost as great as that of Robin Hood of old.
