The hope cherished in this CITY io'
several months that the AieXanarls
hovs who left here last summer 1o'

military commands which went TO ths

Virginia Senators and Representa-

War Department to order the VIZ,

that the soldiers of the Old Dominion
have accomplished the purpose fol
which they left the state, early last
summer. There seems to be no like
lihood of hostilities between the
United States and Mexico, and while
soldiers from other States have been
sent back to their homes, it is hard
to understand why Virginia's quota
have not served their time.
Most of the soldiers from this COM
monwealth left positions in order to
respond to the cali to arms. In doing
so they followed the instincts of their
fathers and grandfathers when their
country needed their services.

The rumors which have been in cir

Alexandria Light Infantry before
Christmas are not confirmed and those
who have been arranging to send box
es to arrive in Brownsville, Texas
before Christmas are proceeding with
their plans, as the time is limited
and it is advisable not to run the risk
of the boxes not reaching their desti-
nation before the holisA gs.ss-I4,e 10
cal Red Cross branch is arranging fol
community box, but a number OF
ladies who are interested in the sol
diers are planning to send individu-
ally, though they want it understood
that they are in hearty accord with
the Red Cross and do not want tC
conflict in any way. Any wife, sweet
heart or friend who wants to send g
gift but is not certain of its safe
transmissal, can send the same to
Brawner and Brothers store, corner
Washington and King streets, by
Wednesday of the coming week and
provided it is not too bulky or heavy
it will be sent for them in the box
arranged by this committee, who
think large box will be safer at this
