Upon affairs in China, the London Times of the

very important ifany news could now be important
which did not bear directly on the great struggle
going under the walls of Delhi. But here, as in
India, the progress of affairs has been much what
might have been anticipated. The Chinese fght

themselves not only better soldiers than In the
last war, but even more successful. In two en-
gagements they have killed and wounded atOgeth-

able to avert the total destruction of their fleet.

will now be able 10 visit all the river forts, and
show themselves at Canton without interruption.
As that city is thus actually In our power, there
seems no substantial reason why the mere proof Of
this should not obtain for all the objects OF the
expedition without further bloodshed or military
operation.

THE sPASIsH-MExICAS IABRoGLI0.
We perceive il is announced that the Spanish go
ent has accepted the mediation Of the British
and French Ministers on the Mexican question; but
il is stated that this step has been taken after some
hesitation on the part of the Cabinet Of Madrid
We should hope therefore. that the difficulty which
proved to be too much for VI. Lafragus, the Mexi-
can envoy, will be solved by the united efforts oil
the two most powerful European governments. An
armed collision between spain and Mexico, II con-
fined to the belgerents, would not, OF course, IN
yolve serious consequences, except 10 the parties
concerned; but il is impossible to say what course
the American government would take in such al
event, aud what complications interference on
its part might occasion. IL was stated, Indeed
some time since. that the Mexieans had borrowed

The Coumsy Election.

We alluded on yesterday to the mprac,icable
position taken by certain of the citizens of Lynch
burg, with reference TO the approaching cleo
ton of two members Of the House Of Delegates.
We refer to it again. not because we suppose the
result will be al all affected by it-but for the
purpose of warning our friends of the city against
the commission Of fatal mistake.
1t has long been well. understood arrange
men, that The city should have one representa-
tive. and tho county the other. THIS agreement
has been scrupulously observed by the county
and, when it is considered ihat the vote Of the
county is the larger of the two, the balance OF
lberaty is clearly on their side
Notwithstanding this. understand there
are those in the city. who propose voting for the
two city candidates under tn. idea that Ihe in.
tcrests of Lynchburg would be best promoted
by two representatives from her own citizens.
So far us the experience of the past teaches
us the interests of the city have been well
guarded by the representative of the county, as
IL he had been himself u citizen. There is no
antsgonism of interest between the city and
county never has been, and never will be-
The attempt to make such an issue now is moth
ing more nor less than Democratic expedent
set on foot by men who hope TO accomplish by i,
party advantage.
Besides this it would be an act of suicidal
folly in Lynchburg TO claim both of the repre-
sentniives. Even though she succeeded now, it
would in all probability be the last time The
people of the county are willing TO accord 10
Lynchbnrg, as they have always heretofore done.
one Of the representatives. If Lynchburg in
sisi on having both, the consequence will be that
in future she will have none at all.
1t is doubtful matter if the next Legislature
appropriate dollar TO internal improvements
Of any kind-unless Virginia receive her right
full share Of the public lands. The taxes are
already sufficiently high for the convenience Of
the people. But il appropriations should be
made, they will be made to works already in
progress. Does anybody suppose that DIR. Smith
would not as readily unite in any measure for
the benefit of Lynchburg. as any citizen of the
town.
We repeat that it is Democratic cxpedent
for seduoing Wings from their alleglance-a
senseess and miserable one, il is true--and
hardly deserving the notice we have givenit.-
We cannot believe that any Wing or American,

the future welfare of Lynchourg. viii be hood
