The Racing Mt BOSTON.

BosToN, July 25.-The racing to-day was
of the most brilliant character, and termina-
ted highly successful meeting. The first
race was for purse of $500, mile heats, and
was won by Throgsneck beating Cycfdhe in
1.50, 1852 IA. The latter won the first heat
in 1.5l 1-2.
The great event of the meeting was the
three mile race for a purse of $1,000. For
this Idlewild, Wagram, and Avalanche were
entered. The former was the favorite.
Idlewild won in two straight heats in
SAP and 5 AS. The first heat would
have been won by Wagram, whose bride
broke in the first mile; and although the
jockey, in consequence, lost all control oyel
him, he maintained lead of several length:
throughout two miles and half, and was only
beaten on the last half mile. But for this
accident he must assuredly have won the heal
and probably the race. The next heat was
won by Idlewild by three lengths, Avalanche
being second and Wagram third.

The HoosAc TuNNEL.-The recently ap-
pointed Troy and Greenfield railroad COM
missioners have decided to send an agent to
Europe to examine critically the railway tun-
nes in that part of the world. Charles S.
Storrow of Boston has been appointed for that
purpose, at compensation of $3000 with
expenses paid, and sails next week. The OBJ
ject of the trip is to obtain the most reliable
data from which to determine the character of
the tunnel required under the HOosac noun
tain, as well as the most economical and
speedy method of constructing it, and also
the probable cost of the work. There being
no tunnels in this country of sufficient pagni-
tude to be of much service in fixing upon the
details of the one required, the commissioners
deem this course the wisest and safest that can
be adopted before proceeding to the compile

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF VIRGINIA, July
25.-Order No. l3.-Hereafter no guards will
be placed over private houses or private pro-
perty of any description whatever Com
handing officers are responsible for the con-
duct Of troops under their command, and the
articles of war and regulations of the army
provide ample means for restraining them to
the full extent required for discipline and eff

field to do battle against the enemy, and it is
not expected that their force and energy shall
be wasted in protecting the private property

employed in such service.

LITTLE WASHINGTON, RAPPAHANNocK, VA,
July 23.-The report recently telegraphed
from Warrenton that jackson was at or near
Gordonsyille is confirmed from other sources,
which state that he is at Louisa Court House
with "a 200 men, and Ewell with corps of
Jackson's commend is at Gordonsville, making
a total of 10000 men. His present intention
is said to be to assume the offensive and break
our lines, and, if successful, to demonstrate
upon Washington for the purpose of drawing
off our forces from Richmond.
As many misstatements have been publish
ed in regard to the expedition commanded by
Gen. Hatch, it may not be inappropriate to
make the following statements, as given by a
returned officer. After marching to Culpep-
per Gen. Hatch pushed his whole force to the
Rapidan, where, in consequence of the de-
struction of the bridges and the high state
of the water, he was compelled to leave his
artillery and infantry. With his cavalry he
pushed on to Orange Court House, where he
learned that the enemy were in large force at
Gordonsville. He sent thence company of
the Virginia cavalry towards Gordonsville,
who approached within six miles of the latter
place, and confirmed the report of the enc
my's presence and strength.
On Friday, the 18th, two brigades suppos-
ed to be commanded by Gen. Ewell, made
their appearance at Orange, and on Saturday,
after severe skirmishing, Gen. Hatch fell
back, recrosslng the Rapidan and arrived at
Culpepper on Sunday. During this time 2S
men of company A New York cavalry were
captured by the enemy, owing it is said to the
incredulity of the commanding officer, who
did not believe a statement that the enemy
were advancing in force upon his outpost sta
ton. Two or three men whose horses were
saddled made their escape. After returning
to Culpepper Gen. Hatch made another incur
sion to Madison and thence nOrthward to
Sperryville, ascertaining that the enemy were
not in force in that direction. That Jackson
is in great force at Louisa and Gordonsville
is beyond doubt, and that he intends to attack
us at an early day is fully believed. General
Bope's forces here have no objection but rath-
er desire that he will make the attempt

The News from Richmond.

WASHINGTON, July 25.-The Richmond
Enquirer, 23d, says -'The basis of the eX-
change of prisoners has been the cartel of
1912. This cartel marks an important era in
the war. 1t is the acknowledgment of our
quasi nationality. We are by it made belli-
gerents, and the government of the United
States treats with the government of the con-
federate states through commissioners"
The publication of the heavy list of rebel
losses in the late battles is continued III the
Enquirer. The 18th Virginia regiment, which
was in no engagement but that of the Both OF
,Jnne, carried into action 250, and lost IL.
Counterfeit notes are largely circulated III
Georgia. The Enquirer says, "high prices
are still raging, and hucksters are making a
mint of shinplasters The Enquirer claims
that one more confederate victory will end
the war, and that commissioners for truce
and armistice will meet, ''those necessary
preudes to peace"
Rowdyism and disorder appear to have the
upper hand in Richmond. The Enquirer
complains of bogus military guards who shoot
down men wantonly and do great deal OF
mischief in the way of robbing and brulslng
1t also speaks of stragglers and runaways
from camp whose fixed occupation is stealing,
bruising, and rowdying.
The ENQUIRER has the following: "Chatta-
nooga, July 21.-The enemy is concentrating
a large force at Suttahoma, 40 miles the 9TH
er side of Stevenson. BuelPs army is In
tight place"
The ENQUIRER has list of the hospitals in
Richmond, including fifteen army hospitals,
six private hospitals, and some thirty hospl-
tails Just opened. Hospitals tents it is stated
are being erected in Towards Grove and
Mayo's and Debril's warehouses, and the
Danville workshops in Manchester have been
opened for hospitals.
The inflated condition of the rebel paper
currency has caused stocks to go up IN pro-
portion.
Gen. Johnston's official report of the Seven
Pines battle is printed under date OF June "a.
He charged upon Gen. Huger the fact that the
confederate plan to destroy Keyes' entire
corps was not realized in consequence of HUI
gers delay in getting into position, and says
1--WE took ten pieces of artillery six thousand
muskets, one garrison flag, and four reg linen
tai flags, besides a large quantity of tents and
camp equipage." Gen. Longstreet reports a
loss in his command of about three thousand,
and Gen. Gustavus Smith reports his at 1888;
total. 1888 Johnston states that the federal
loss exceeded 10000.
The Enquirer says: "Gen. Stuart's caval-
nv have overtaken a portion of the Yankee
force engaged in burning the bridge at Beaver
Dam. One lieutenant and six privates were
captured and one killed. The prisoners ad-
init that they were engaged in the recent
raid"
