An incident occurred during the lsss retro.
grade movement Of NesdsS army which shows
that Gen. Buford is y futilsiA expsdisn,s %
he is brave in an emergency. While bringing
up the rear, with the rebels not far behind him,
he came up with brain of wagons several
miles long, numbering, 1t is said, about 800
wagons. The train was stopped, and Buford
could nnd no one In command to start II. No
time was TO be lost. The enemy were coming
and Buford's command would be cut up ana
the train captured. Tho teamsters In that long
line could not be msde to comprehend and act.
General Buford, in q few seconds, compre-
hended and acted. he ordered one Of his rined
pieces to be planted In the rear Of the train,
and began firing shells up the road, over the
wagons, at the longest range and with good
elevation. A few Of those "rotten cannon
ball" bursting over the train reused the sleep
ers and fixed the business. Believing that the
rebels were close upon them, the wagon mas
ters and temsters applied whip and spur, and
the whole caravan was moved of safely.

Go Early.
In view Of the fact that Growers theatre will
be closely packed this evening, on the occasion
of the benefit of the Sanitary Commission, It is
highly desirable that those who have secured
seats should attend early. By SO doing they
will save themselves much annoyance and the
manager a great deal Of trouble. When par.
ties arc standing they are apt to become i'm
patient at the sight Of empty seats, on which
are lying cards with the provoking word
"TAKBS printed on them. When the takers
Of the taken seats remain away during most Of
the nrst act, they often find their seats miss
taken by other parties, and much growing and
morose feeling is engendered. If our friends
who have purchased places to see Miss Cush-
man to night will take pains to claim them at
. reasonably early hour, they will, by so doing,
promote their own comfort and lessen materi-
ally the perplexities Of Mr.. Grover, who has 90

FROM GENERAL BANkSS DEPARTMENT
Arrival Of Cotton and Sugar,
DICK TAYLOR RETREATING

New YoRK, Oct. 16.-The steamer Columbia,
from New Orleans on the 10th Instant, has ar
rived. She brings four hundred bales of cot
ton, and two hundred hogsheads Of sugar.
The only military Item In the papers is from
the Mississippi Rebel, which states that the
Federsls occupied Monroe, Louisiana, Dick
Taylor retreating 70 Shreveport, on which place
the Federals would advance as soon as rein
forced. The Federals had captured . large
number Of negroes, who were repairing the
shreveport and vicksburg railroad. Several
steamers had arrived at New Orleans from st.
Louis, briuging-having gathered 1t on the
way-thirty hundred and seventy bales
and eight hundred and nfty. four bags of cot

HORSES.

Eugene Delacroix, the great French painter,
recently deceased, once visited Algeria with q
commission Of the French Government, and
among other things written by him about his
residence there, he says.
had another occupation; this was the
study Of Arabian horses. They have under
tneir native sky peculiar character Of pride
and energy which they lose when they change
their country. They very often violently throw
their riders TO the ground that they may fight
each other-eenguinary combats which last
whole hours. They bite each other like tigers,
and nothing can separate them. The hOsrse
hery breath which darts from their scarlet uos-
trils like the respiration Of locomotives, their
noating or blood-matted names. their ferocious
alousies, and their mortal hatrcds, everything
In them, attitude and character, rise 10 poetry.S
Now we have no such spirited and possicsl
animals In our country, and In spite Of all the
poetry and fables written about the Arab steed,
we believe that the English and American blood
horses are superior TO the Arabians Of the pre-
sent day in many respects.
At all events, the efforts made to improve
the stock of horses In America have been highly
successful, and the general result Is large In
crease of the substantial wealth Of the country.
Il Is doubtless true that the breeding Of Morgan
and Black Hawk horses, which are far from
being the best types Of the noble animal, has
brought as much money into Vermont a. wool.
growing. And SO Of other New England States,
and Of other sections of the country, where the
raising Of horses has brought In great revenues.
In many parts Of the country our enterprising
FARMERS have discovered that a colt cousumss
no more fodder than q steer; while the steer
sells for forty dollars and the fast colt for i've
hundred or q thousand dollars.
The race course Is not now simply gam.
bling institution, as many have believed. That
is, or has been, . popular dsluslon among tho
hetter sort Of people. Wagers arc made upon
the speed Of hcsses, y d true, but shis makes
the race course crucible In which the blood Of
the animal is refined. 1t Is the ultimate test of
the qualities that belong to horses Of the best
type, and give him his highest value. 3D. 8
The National Course, Of Washington, which
Is advertised TO be inaugurted next Tuesday,
deserves to be encouraged by our citizens. Il
will be conducted In such manner that the
most fastidious need not fear to attend the
trials Of speed upon 1t, and 1t bids fair not only
to furnish amusement but to become source
Of profit to the asricRlturallsts throughout this
whole region.

BRITISH OPINION OF PRESIDENT
LINCOLN.

The London Morning Star, commenting on
Mr.. Seward's recent circular reviewing the
course Of the war, refers In the following COM
plimentsry terms to President Lincoln:
His first official utterance was stamped
with integrity, but did not indicate full per.
ception Of the mighty change which be In fact
represented. He was ready TO negotiate with
the seceders, though not TO compromise with
them. He refused at the outset, with manly
decision and emphasis, to surrender the object
of his election-namely, the limitation Of
slavery. But he was more than willing to
discuss with them an amendment Of the Con-
stitution pointing, of course, to compen-
sated emancipation. The development Of the
idea is the glory OF bis presidential rule.
With the dawn Of every sun be seems 10 have
seen more clearly the relation Of negro freedom
10 the future OF the Union. He has used the
victories Of his fleets and srmies-and their
the advancement Of his great design. Faithful
10 his duties as President faithful also, TO bis
functions a. chieftain of the great Republican
.nrty-he has been no less loyal to his personal
eonvictions. On the morrow Of his election he
vas described by one who rejoiced In that
event, as not an abolitionist; scarcely an anti
slaVery man. II SO, as marvellous as happy
has been the expansion of his heart and bnr.
pose ana there is no ground for supposing
tnat no mas moved faster than the people he
rules ana represents. They have spplauded his
ooiaes. aeciaratons aud sustained his most res
nimity upon all sections and all parties Tbey
have compelled Seward to work in the same
groove with Chase, and Governor seomour To
cooperate with Mayor Opdyke. A democrs,io
President could scarcely undo what The RsnMh
lican has done. The abolitionists of New fnv.
land find allies In Maryland and Missouri Sn
North Carolina and Tennessee. Men who went
out as soldiers or sailors without thought of
the negro that wis not contemptuous have
come TO be the invincible champions of his
cause. Newspapers which still delight In re-
Wiling niger worship are afraid to obstruc,
emancipation. Their ideas and arms march OF
side by side. The thought Of right animstei
The sword Of victory. Mr.. Stewards circular
iaiis 10 bring out the moral phases Of the revo
luton whose military aspects he so graphically
paints. But the eye Of the worlds mind-tht
eye especially of free and relIvious En0iand-
cannot but dwell on them with dsyout graft
tude and hope"

We learn on reliable information that during
the cavalry fight on last Monday afternoon, In
the neighborhood of Brandy Station, the Hon.
John N. Bolts was arrested or taken prisoner
by the rebels, and that he has since been taken
TO Richmond. We suppose he is to be impris-
oned and held as hostage for the return Of
Bradford, Freeman and others, Of
Culpeper county, who were sometime ago ar
rested by Gen. Meade as dangerous persons
and confined In the Old Capitol. We have no
doubt the relatives Of these men insisted on his
arrest, as the surest means of securing their
