tail and mane streaming like black banners in the air. Since his great double team race with Lantern. Ethan has done nothing, and his fame was in a fair way of being forgotten, while Patchen had been taking the cream of the stud business, at high prices. But yesterday's race has redeemed the past, and made him for the time the most celebrated trotting horse in America. It is said that the preliminaries of another match between Flora to harness, and Ethan and his mate as before, have been arranged, and that the race will be trotted on Union Course next Monday. In case it should be announced, we advise all interested in trotting horses to attend, for, undoubtedly, it will be the most remarkable trotting match on record. Recapitulation. Union Course, L. I.

Touching honors to a Richmond soldier.[extract from a letter from a lady, dated Alexandria, July 15] "Soon after you left, one of our men was killed while on picket guard. The Federals lost several at the same time, and had all buried here. Some of our citizens finding it out, went in search of the body of poor Hanes (I think is his name,) of the Letcher Guard. Mr. L B. Taylor and Mr. Dangerfield found the body, took it up, had it decently prepared for the grave, put him in an $80 metallic coffin, and had him put in the Episcopal burial ground.

An officer standing by said with a sneer, it was too much respect shown to a common murderer. Mr. Taylor said that was no time or place to discuss the question. Four ladies followed his body to the grave, besides the gentlemen. It was raining at the time, but if I had known it, I would have liked to have been another. On
