To give tome idea of the operation*, we state that thi listritwtiug reservoir, at Drovris' Kent, near Georgetown nil contain about fifty acre*, to lie made chiefly from ex .tvatioii witliiu its own limit*. The receiving reservoir it the Powder Mill branch, will contain about niity acre* Phe conduit will be circular, nine feet in interior diaiue ar, to be built generally of three separate tour-inch ring if brick. To construct these work*, immense qnantitie if utouc and other building material* w ill nece*aarily l* equired. Bridges, too, are to be erected.

'llius a stimulus will be supplied to variou rranches of industry. We perceive from the blank contract forms that th ngincer in chatgc, Captain Meigs, is remarkably clear wutious, and specific. They show that he is a friend t< irder mid sobriety, and that he is resolved to transact th msiness with strict honesty Among the articles in the contracts arc the follow ing : * The contractor for this work shall not knowing); iniploy any tuun, either as overseer, laborer, or in an; ituatiot), who shall have beeu dismissed, by the order u he engineer, from any o'fier part of the work for bu< rorkuuinship, intemperan- , or disorderly conduct. No ball be continue to employ any man who shall be dc fared by the engineer to lie either disorderly, hahituall u temperate, or a Isul workman. " No ardent spirits shall be used or allowed cm an; art of the work, and no disorderly jierson or persons, ob re ted to by the eugineer, retained in tiie employment o he <-ontractor. Permitting men to board where arelen piritn are used or sold, though Uie premises shouh lot Is under the control of the contractor, will lie con idem! a violation of these rule*. Any violation of thou vill lie considered sufficient ground for the engineer t icclare the contract void. '' And it is further stipulated and agreed that no ntetu ler of Congress shall be admitted to uny share or ]>art ii his contract or agreement, or to any benefits to aria herefrom," kc.
