Mr.. Massey had no personal interest in the
matter and acted solely upon the prlRclpIc that
no one should be condemned upon &c partc
evidence. He could ut from the first believe
that gentlemen, Virginians, and having the in,
terests Of their State at heart, would be mimi
cal to the welfare of Alexandria. He therefore
offered the following resolution:
Whereas the Corn Exchange, composed Of
highly and Influential class Of our citizens, have
directly, or indirectly, charged that the mana
gers of the O., A. & NJ. r. r. have dscrim.
mated against the interest OF Alexandria; and
whereas the Directors of said road utterly dis.

PooR CHIYA.-Why cannot the European
countries let China alone? England has
badpered her for more than a century,
killing off her people and obtruding her
unweicome commerce and civilization upon
her. She has persisted in Strengthening
her harmless people on the most groundless
pretexts for years, and now she is seeking
a coalition with France and Russia to
make common cause against her for rea'
son Of the late massacre of some Euro
peans under popular frenzy excited by
outrsges on the part of the intruders The
object of the English raid upon China Is
identical with that of the carpetbag RAID
upon the South-plunder. They do not 60
to China for purposes Of settlement as
permanent citizens of the country, adapt
ing themselves to their customs and sub
mittiue TO their laws. Under the MOCK
religious pretext of planting IN that pagan
cUrntry the standard Of the Cross. Eng
