Below we give some interesting remarks of the
Richmond Examiner, touching the apprchended
movements of our troops, viz
And if they come to Richmond, VIC may be
well assured that they will come the same way
that the enemy came Eeforc-the British-by
York river, and by no other way. There is the
assailable point the map shows that; expert
ence and history have made the fact public to all
the world except ourselves. A march by land
from Alexandria, through difficult country,
and over the most warlke population Of the
continents is dreamed of by nobody but ourselves
The route by Acqua Creek can be cut short at
Fredericksburg by few hundred pounds Of
powder under the bridges of the Rappahannock
to look no farther. Nor did the enemy come up
the narrow and imperfect channel of the James
when they came before, nor will they come up
it now. But they will do as they did, and will
always do in future, sail or steam through the
deep and straight York, dls9mbark their troops
in Il little more than days march of the city,
and take the chances of resistance. Any mum
Der Of steamers can be loaded with men and al
tllery at Washingt and come to the mouth
of the York, at least, without more trouble
than on morning excursion. There, it is true,
resistance will commence. We hear that the
Notifications of the river have closed it we
hope so-let every one hope for it has been
fourteen months since the Legislature appropri-
ated million TO the Notifications of the State,
and at this moment the prudent course is to
hope that it has been well spent on York river,
where it will be we'll needed. If the enemy
succeeded in passing them, it has only one
trouble more, and that is a grand battle with
all the force that our generals can bring into a
field below Richmond, which Will be decisive of
our fate

Funeral Of Col, Ellsworth.
MECHANlcSVILLE, \

AiECHANlcSNlLlE, L., May ~.
The train Of twenty-five ears and two loco
motives, bearing the remains Of Col Ellsworth,
arrived at this place at Il quarter to two this
afternoon. The entire population Of the vii
lage and surrounding country were assembled,
and the sorrow evinced was deep and universal
The procession marched through the streets
to the cemetery, situated on the hill west OF the
village, where platform had been erected for
the religious services A ag-staff was erected
beside the platform, and upon it was an Amer
lean Flag, dressed in Grape, flying at half mast
After the procession had reached the ceme-
terry, and formed about the grave, the Rev. Da-
vid Little of the Methodist Church, delivered
an impressive prayer. The Rev. Mr.. Lee of
the Presbyterian Church at Waterford, then
came forward and delivered an eloquent, i'm
pressive and patriotic address, closing by
reading the letter addressed by Col. Ellsworth
to his father, written the night before his death.
The face was then uncovered and the people
passed in procession to see it,. The coffin was
lowered into the grave at five o'clock. The men
of his company then fired three yolleys over
their comman 1ers grave. After grounding
arms, they took the shovels and proceeded to
fill in the grave, after which firing squad of
five from each company OF the Oath regiment
advanced 10 the grave. They fred three voleys
over the grave after the procession had left the
cemetery The squads of Co.. Elliworth y men
with their officers, then proceeded to the resi-
dence of his father, modest yellow little cot
tage standing between the railroad and cemcte-
ry, and paid their respects to him.

WASHINGTON August 6.-Mr. Wicklife.
of Kentucky, informed the House that the
result Of the election in his State, on Mon
day, was overwhelmingly for an uncondi-
tional maintenance of the Union. The
first to be admitted into it, after the adop-
zion Of the Constitution, she would be the
last to leave it. The announcement was re-
ceiyed with prolonged applause and the
clapping Of hands, both Oh the floor and in
the galleries. The traitor Burnett was con-
veniently absent during these scenes. He
preferred to enjoy the news alone, remov-
ed from the public gaze.
