ALEXANDRIA MERCHANTS. The Warren
County Sentinel, speaking Of the advantages ct
the Railroad to b. extended to Front Royal,
saws that the business community in AleXan
dria have duty to perform in securing the
trade from that place, and adds:
I'VE are aware that there are complaints
among the merchants Of Alexandria that our
people, Of all classes, merchants, farmers, &c,
pass through Alexandria and 90 to Baltimore
to deal; and also, that the citizens OF the
neighboring counties complain that the mer
chants in Alexandra will not deal with them as
literally as the merchants do in tho cities
North-that they will no. give them as much
for what they have to sell, and that they charge
them more for what they need in exchange.
We venture to affirm that this is an improp
er accusation against the merchants OF thl!
place, which ought to be corrected. We be
Ecvc that OR merchants deal as iiberally-i
not more so-with all who trade here's do TIT
merchants of Baltimore or anywhere else, AM
and that every inducement is presented by then
for trsle here. A comparison ofprc,s paid here
for produce of all kind, will show this W.
know that our merchants are liberal and &C
oommodatng They desire to bring trade here
to please customers, to give the highest prices
and to sell ut the lowest rates. We say th
at once, and promptly repel the intimation re
ier,cd to against our merchants.

REV. THOMAS II. HAYNES, the popular pas
tor Of the Alexandria NJ F. Church, preached
the annual missionary sermon in the Untcc
States courtroom, yesterday, al s o'clock r
m. The sermon was based upon the command
of our Saviour to the disciples "t2o ye into al
the world and presch the Gospel to every crea
ture," 1t was Il very substantial discourse
and we'll calculated to encourage the mi mister:
of the conference in their great work of faitl
and labor OF love. The Cro>s is gradually
magnctizing the wor Id and reconciling revoItcc
sinners to tho sovereign authority of God.
The sessions Of the conference arc daily in
creaslng in interest Much harmony prevails
among the preachers The spiri. of cathoci:y
manifested by the preachers is remarkable. =

ENCOURAGE HOME INDUSTRY AND
ENTERPRISE.
New-York tribune., 1870-08-20

From the testimony yet taken by the COro-
ner in the inquest upon the victim of the late
collision in the Bay, it is impossible to arrive
at definite conclusion as to the responsibility
for the catastrophe The weight of evidence
appears to be in favor of the Captain and
pilot of the steamer, who narrate their proceed
ings before and after the collision too minutely
to have been under the influence of liquor at
the time of its occurrence, and both seem to
have been diligent after the collision in Sc
curing the safety of their vessel and her living
freight. Great injustice may have been done
these men by the general charge that one or
both of them were drunk at the time of the
collision, and common charity demands that
there shall be at least a suspension of public
opinion in their case until the conclusion of
the INQUEST

western border. In such an event, we can
but look forward to further disasters to
Bazaine. ......
Our dispatches, other than those relating to
the immediate situation at Metz, are Of the
most stirring and interesting character. Sun
days battle at Metz is described by our cor
respondent in the fortress, who paints a
graphic picture of the scene. The complete
ness of the Crown Princes victory at Worth,
and the disastrous nature of MacMahon's dis
orderly retreat from Saverne, are revealed in
other dispatches while still others describe in
significant terms the little reverence that is
paid to Napoleon, who is flying from point to
point to avoid danger and the growing popu-
larity and power of Gen. Trochu.
New-York tribune., 1870-08-20

When the system of general roundsmen was
introduced, some weeks ago, into the police
force, we expressed doubts of its propriety,
which subsequent experience has not removed.
The reports of the trials of policemen, since
the new method of espionage was instituted,
prove conclusively that the morale of the force
is constantly deteriorating under this secret
surveillance, or that frivolous charges are
preferred, which no officer should be put to
the trouble and degradation of answering.
Either fact is sufficient food for further reflec-
tiOn, before the mouchard feature of the Paris
ian police is permanently ingrafted upon our
force. The Commissioners ought at once
give this subject the thorough and dispassion-
ate consideration which its Importance demands
There were and are irregularities in the De-
partment needing correction, but the Commits
sioners can certainly find other means of reach
ing them than by the employment of an agency
which incites to perjury, and can have as its
best result only the transforming of negligent
patrolmen into useless automata. An abandon
ment of the new system need not imply re-
turn to the old, which was found in many
ways defective, but il is incumbent upon the
Commissioners to devise means of discipline
that shall be both effective and just
