1T would be very unreasonable to expect
nitro slycerine to be manufactured, and to
deny the manufacturers, the privilege Of
transpsrtips that deadly. explosive after it
has been prepared. Such precautions
ought, however, to be taken by railroad
companies as to forbid its conveyance on
trains where there ocnld be the remotest
possibility Of an explosion. The travelling
public who ride on cars, as Well as the re.
eions through which they pass, are entitled
to some protection in such contingencies,

Affairs on the Rio Grande appears to b,
rapidly approaching crisis, and we NAV
Ind ourselves involved in a war with
Mexico before the end of the year. the
chief trouble is in El ,Paso county, Texas
In which many Me1icans reside, who
Joined by their countrymen from the
Mexican side, attacked small detachmen,
OF Texas troops, on Friday last. This re-
glon has been troubled for some time, and
troops should have been sent there some
weeks ago. San Elizario, in Ell Paso
county, is the centre of the disturbances in
that region, owing to the fact that mos,

he must act promptly. with a view to pre'
venting such occurrences as that of Lao
Friday. A large portion of the borde
populatio" of Texas desire a war with
Mexico, and 1e many desperadoes on the
Mexican side are rips for any violence.
These two opposing yet agreeing elements
will surely precipit tate general conflict
unless the region they infest be promptly
and properly policed with troops. wei
read that the Mexican authorities are
forwarding forces to the Rio Grande, and \
it i' believed that they intend to do their
part in good faith toward preserving peace.
but whether they do or not, it is importan,
mat our government should place proper
'umber of troops at the points where dis
are most likely to occur. As =

Letter From Alexandria,.

Correspondence Of the lIynchburg News. !
ALEXANDRIA, Va, July Is. 1871.
Dear News lit is stated in the press that
amongst the delegates elected to 10 the State
Convention at our late primary meetings, one
is for Maj. John w. Daniel, Of your city.
suppose that Major Daniels friends expected
little or nothing from place So near the homes
of the other candidates, and so distant from his
own as Alexandria, aud they would be gratfed
and surprised, did they see the strength and
warmth Of the feeling in his behalf.
lie has certainly good many more delegates
than one in Alexandria who espouSe his noml-
nation, and when the roll is called in convcn-
ton, We expect to hear loud aud long response
to Daniels name.
Col. Holiday aud his friends Rely and Hun
ter, of Winchester, were all in the city when
the primary meetings were held, and the person
al appearance Of the candidate himself and his
supporters had 40 effect iu bis favor.
Our people feel kindly to Col. Holiday, but
they do not think that his services 10 one cam
paign should give him precedence over those
who have championed our cause in every cam
paien since 1869, aud | believe that there
would be universal satisfaction if the mantle Of
Kemper fell 90 Daniel. The old soldiers Of
the Seventeenth Regiment especially are ia
yorable to Daniel, and would send up again the
cd Confederate yell, were he the nominee.
