To the editor of the Alexandria Gazette : Iu connection wi<L the contemplated cele? bration of the four hundredth anniversary of tho discovery of America by Christopher Columbus I would suggest, for the consid? eration of the authorities who shall have the details of that important matter in chnrge, the erection of a pt-rmaneut memo? rial building in the city cf Washington, which iu point of dimensions and architect' ural design should be prominent among the other public building; of our national capi? tal. Net. being either an artist or a designer myself. I have no designs to offer for exte? rior appearance aud embellishment, which obviously should bo historically appropriate and suggestive and could be best determined upon by competitive proposals oi competent designers and builders. Tho structure should be large euoui;h po admit of interior space sufficiently ample for the exhibition oi fac simile models, as nearly as could be ar? rived at by reference to oltl prints, pictures and descriptions of the size and appearance of the famous vessels of the great die-cover, the Santa Mans, the Pinta, aud the Isina, with ethnics of the admiral and his men, aud particularly, the grouping of that im? pressive scene of humiliation of the muti? neers at the moment of tho anxiously await? ed discovery, with which, through tho his? torian aud tho artist we nro all fumiliar. The vvaiis to be hung with portraits of the discoverer, of Ferdinand and Isabella, aud adorned with copies of all kuown paintiugs, eugravrcgB.etchings, maps, charts, charters, orders, letters, medal.-', au.ographs, coin*, globes?, busts, statuary, arms, bauuers, flas-s aud any o iu-.': t-xisttuy objects' connect? ed with, or illustrative or ?escriptivo in auy way of tiir? great enterprise. Wherever auch interesting objects may esi3t, whether iu private collections or in national arch? ives aud museums, we -may assume that ever, facility would.be afforded our govern? ment for obtaining copies of them, aud it micht. be. that iu many instances loans of the origi nals could bo secured for the timed cf the ecl'-bratiou. Ituly and Spain partic? ularly, the ono having eiven the admiral birihand the other the^aeeded assistance tor bis great venture, would, I doubt uot, heartily co-opeiate with us to inaRe a vast and imposing array ol mementoes. The collection might embrace aboriginal relics in profusion of every known vaiiety and use, such as stone spear and arrow heads, axes, maize mills, pottery aud crania. The ceilings to lie frescoed with paint? ings of rich tropical vegetation.? The unoccupied panelings of .the walls to bs filled with representations of native birds and animals and any other appropriate ob? jects of general interest. Ttie foregoing suggestions aro but a faint outlining cf such a memorial building as the rneritd of the great discoverer deserves and aa a great and appreciative nation ought to give. 2 let Congress promptly make an ad equato appropriation out of the surplus moneys of tho national t reasury, over which there is so much contention, for the inauqu ration cf the important work, und then let private enterprise come up and carry it to a successful completion. The writer believes that if a memorial building as above described could be erect? ed, that not only during tb.9 lime of the an? niversary ceiebiafioD, but at all times, no plncc* among all tho many attractive ones of the national capital would be more inter? esting and attractive. W. H. sn0wden. Fairfax co., Va. The C. & O. Canal.?President Baugb man, of the C. and O. Canai, states that water lias already been let into the canal a: Cumberland, and that navigation will be re? sumed earlier this year than ewr before, Tho preseut outlook for the year., said ho, if blight, and in the event of :i satisfactory settlement of tho coal interests a gocd busi? ness v.iil be done'. It se6ms tc bo generally understood that freight rates on tho canal which were reduced in accordance with the demand of the boatmen a year ago, will be increased, inasmuch m it has now been dem? onstrated, after a fair trial, that the canai cannot pay expenses with tolls and wharf age at 2d cents. The water on the George? town level of tho canal will bo drawn or Monday or Tuesday next- for repairs. Un? der the contract with tho millers and others they must be completed within teudays,wher the canal will be opened along the eutire line. Mr. Mertens has bought twenty-five boats of the American Coal Company, whicl were not in service last season, and then will be about 800 boats on the canal thi: year. The canal has so far escaped damng< from freshets, and if there is no mid luck o that kind later on President Baughman ex pects a better business tbi3 year than ii 1SS6. The tolls have not yet been fixed and the action of the B..and ?. Railroad ii the matter of rates will govern the policy c tho canal.
