TIE GREAT RACE.-The hour at which
our large edition compels us to go to press,
prevented us from publishing the result
of the great race that took place yester-
day near Richmond, Va. Our arrange
ments for the news by telegraph were
complete, but had we waited for the move
ments in Richmond, we would have lost
our mails, an event not to be tolerated in
well regulated newspaper offices.
C. We are indebted to Mr.. VIM. A.
Kennedy, Bookseller and Stationer, 18th,
between G and H streets, for a copy of an
able and eloquent grafton delivered by DR..
o. A. Bronson, of Boston, Mass, on the
29th of June last, before the Philomathian
Society of Mount St. Mary's College, Md
his theme being Liberal Studies in Re-
lation to the Wants of Free State
70 The Baltimore Patriot will oblige
us by not crediting our news items to an
other journal, as was the case in it's issue
of yesterday.
OSome days since we noticed by
telegraph that Major Arnold, the Com
mandant at Fort Graham, Texas, has
been killed in a personal rencontre with
DR.. j. NJ. Steiner, the port Surgeon. The
arms used were pistols, six-shooters, and
Major Arnold received four shots in his
body, of which he died in about fifteen
minutes afterwards, DR.. Steiner being
uninjured. Each of Steiner's shots took
effect. Arnold fired twice without effect.
