HECHmoND ITEMS.

From the Dispatch
The CAPTURED IcE.-We were informed,
on yesterday, by a gentleman who reached
here from Fredericksburg, that the cargo of
Zee captured by Commander Hollins, was sold
for four Thousand dollars. We were also in
formed that the purchaser was N our city, and
offered the cargo for sale at eight thousand
dollars.
The cost was less than one cent per pound,
and the advance would bring the price up to
one and three-quarteTs Of a cent. As ice has
been retailing on our streets at from six to
eight cents per pound, we trust that come gen.
tleman of modest ambition in pecuniary prof
its viii become the purchaser Of the cargo
referred to.
FIRST REGIMENT S. c. VcLUKTEERs.-Col.
MsEcY Gregg's regiment, which arrived in
Richmond a few days since, having completed
its term Of enlistment, was to have been dis
banded and paid off yesterday. While a large
number will no doubt visit home prior to a
new enlistment, it il very certain that most of
them will return to Virginia in a military ca
pacity. It is equally certain that a large
number Of the men will stay in Richmond,
seeking to enter the service again.
CoLPoRTEURs FOR II ARMY.-The Baptist
cOlportage board Of Virginia held a special
meeting at the First Baptist church, in this
city, last Thursday evening, at which nine
cOlporteUTs were appointed to labor among the
confederate forces on service in this State.
This feature Of Christian enterprise is now en-
joying the sympathy and well wishes Of all
classes of the community.
FeUEsTRIANsHIP.-T0 ride a horse without
saddle or BRIDE, and at full speed, is generally
esteemed a very good feat; but add to that the
throwing Of the person Cf the rider completely
under the horses belly, (merely holding on BY
the left Lego and picking up a pistol which lay
upon the ground and shooting it under the an
imal's neck, is something which We think very
few Yankees could do. Such a feat we saw
yesterday, performed by a Texan ranger.
Could any purveyor for The taste Of Abra-
ham Lincoln, L.. L. D., a. S. s., pass through
one of our markets Of fine morning, be would
be apt to come to the conclusion that the fed
er8l blockade was OF little avail. StsrVe the
South Not while mother earth Yields her ia
vars so beautifully, and The catl upon a thou

juicy YeTdure,
