connected and impartial history of the rapidly
aceumulating events of the day in our country

such as the student Of the times most desires.

TIE NATIONAL EAST.

No day within our recollection has ever bech
so religiously observed by the people Of viii
mingiun, as was the National Fast day-Thurs-
day last With few, very few, exceptions indeed,
the places of business were closed aud proper
resrect paid to the occasion, both in doorsand
out Of doors by all classes. The churches were
well filled, and the sermons preached were gen
orally of au appropriate and patriotic character
At st. Andrews Protestant Episcopal Church.
the Right Rev. BISHOP LEE preached discourse
replete with impressive truths concerning our
National troubles and their causes, and por-
trayed with much earnestness the true christian
citizens duty in the pcrilous times that are
upon US.
At the Central Presbyterian Church, Rev. Mr..
WIswELL was greeted with one of those crowded
audiences which distinguish that church
Whenever its popular Pastor is expected to
preach on national occasious His fervency
and zeal in the cause of our whole country, aud
The noble, iuspiritiug christian patriotism which
he ever exhibits in his public discourses, have
made him iayorite with the public aud all
true lovers Of the Union. Ills admirable Dis
course on this occasion will be found on our first
page to-day.
Throughout the entire city, the Pulpit, so far
as we can learn, did its whole duty, on that day,
in becoming and patriotic manner. That must
be righteous cause, indeed, which can enlist
the synpathics and prayers of the whoie chris
tan church in its behalf, separated as that
church is by denomiuational sects and creeds.-
The war for the Union is holy war, md must
ultimately receive not only the endorsement Of
christians everywhere, but also the favor md
| blessings Of Con himself.

WAsnINGroN AND HIS HoRsn The "Reeol-
lections Of Washington tell US the Presidents
stables in Philadelphia were under the direction
Of German John, and the grooming Of the white
chargers will rather surprise the moderns. The
night before the horses were expected to he rid
den, they were covered entirely over with a pnste
OF which whiting was the principal component
part then the animals were swathcd ip body
cloths, and left to sleep upon clean straw. In
the morning the composition had become hard.
was well rubbed in, and curried and brnshcJ
which process gave to the coats beautiful, glo.sy
and satin-like appearance The hoos were then
blackened aud polished, and the mouth washed
the teeth picked and cleaned, and the Leopard
skin housings being properly adjusted, the white
chargers were led out for service. Such was
the grooming of the ancient times.
