LOCAL NEWS.

KU-KLuX IN THE L. S. ARMY short
time since an attempt was made by some of the
soldiers at Fort Washington to blow up the
sutter at that post and his store, but the affair
was kept SO quiet that it has only been within
the last day or two that it has leaked out.
The facts of the case as now reported are as
follows: A sergeant and two soldiers deter
mined to rid themselves of James Quintin, the
suttler, and for that purpose stole eighteen
pounds Of powder from the magazine, which
they put into three bags, each containing six
pounds. These three bags were connected
with each other by 4 continuous fuse, to the
end Of which was attached a long slow match.
Everything being prepared one dark night
they inserted the bags one after the other in
an opening under building adjoining the suit
tier store-the suttier and his clerk sleep in
the Store-drew the slow match as far as it
would extend and set it off, Fortunately the
sergeant Of the guard who was on his round,
appeared upon the scene at that very Instant,
and saw two men running towards the swamp
and light on the ground Advancing at once
he put his foot upon the fire and extnguished
it. had the guard turned out and the garrison
beat to quarters, when it was found that
sergeant and two men were missing. An ex-
animation of the end Of the extinguished slow
match was then made when the whole plot
was discovered. Search was instantly CON-
menced for the absentees, and the two soldiers
were caught, but the sergeant has never been
heard from since.

MANUFACTURES What is most needed in
Alexandria now are manufactures, not neccs-
sarily extensive establishments requiring large
capital, though such could be carried on very
pro6tably, but small oues, where articles of
every day consumption can be made Of good
material, and at prices that would ensure their
coming into competition with 4 more indiffer-
eut article made at the north and sold in guam
titles all over the country, draining capital from
the State and building up cities and towns at
our expense There are in Alexandria already
buildings suitable for manufactures, con-
yeniently situated and constructed for the pur-
pose, that are going to decay; skilled mechanics
are here, and living is as cheap if not cheaper
than in places of similar size in other States.
Then all that is wanted is the energy to take
hold and make beginning and success is almost
sure to follow. Property owners in the city
should dc what they can to induce manutac-
turing for each establishment of the kind, sue
cessfully prosecuted, is worth more in proper
ton than any other branch of business that can
be startedas it affords employment to a class of
population that gives life and vitality to any
community The manufactures in operation
here are successful, and the work turned out
from them is equal to that done anywhere
Then let others be started and with proper en-
crgy their success will be beyond doubt.
