Tho horse has in all ages been celebra-
ted for his sagacity aud Tor the aptitude
with which he acquires certain habits,
and performs numerous feats OF character
rather belonging to the human than the
equine species. The following instance,
IN point, is about as curious as anything
We have yet heard of or read about the
animal under consideration, and was rela-
ted to US By q gentleman just arrived
| from New Orleans. He SAYS that while
in the Crescent City he went to see fa-
nous old horse, who was generally known
by the familiar soJriquiet OF ssWhiie Char.

company III the city seven years, and az

he was in the habit Of drinking his

after FIRE. "White Charley" first &C
quired the habit Of drinking by his keep
ers indulging him with drink of "bit-
ters;' which he usually swallowed from
bottle. He learned to take cork the out
with his teeth, and with MS mouth taking
holdof the bottle by the neck, would Gle.
vateit and gulp down ''snifter"
After fire he would stop at the first
saloon on the route home, and get his &C
customed drink. After "White Charley
was disbanded from the FIRE company, i

Improved Temper OF the British.

No doub; the rapid increase of Ameri-
can war vessels, with their invunerable
character and tremendous armament has
had modifying influence on the temper
Of our English cousins. Other things
have conspired to make them think better
Of the matter. And amongst these things,
possibly, none have had greater inau.
encc than the improved relations in CON-
mercial matters. They have discovered
that the secession oil the Cotton States has
no, ruined English trade with America,
nor deprived the North Of the means to
purchase aud import British goods. They
have learned that Southeiners are not
their only nor their best customers. While
the falling off Of our imports in 1861
seemed TO justify this impression, it was
but natural that the fears and the hatred
OF the great manufacturing cities should
Be excited against the North. But trade
revived in 1862 and 63, and the imports
run up to NEST astonishing figures and
more still, owing to the peril to our mer-
chant ships and the withdrawal Of SO
many of them for Government service,
an immense deal Of the business
Of export and import fell to British
ships. To 80 great an extent has thi:
been carried, that while in 1860 Ameri-
can ships did three times as much of thi.
carrying trade as was done by foreign
vessels, now foreign ships carry three
times as much as ours.
Thus it will be seen that the Britisi
have excellent reasons for being in bet
ter hGmor with US than they were, anc
as long as they continue to make none,
out of US they will not 60 to war with US

The Lebanon MOI Union gives the
following account Of raid made on Sun

the operations of these villains, where

We have rarely seen our city SO deeply
moved at any time as it was on the occa-
sion of the funeral of Col. Terrence, which
took place yesterday from the Westmin-
ster Church in compliance with a notice
previously published, Rev. Craig and
Rev. j. Brown officiating.
At the conclusion of the funeral SER
vice the procession, under command of
Col. Hudson, was formed and marched to
the cemetery in the following order:
Military Escort, under Command of Col.
John g. Hudson.
Bearers. Bearers.
Surgeon Taylor. 1t. Col. Collins.

Officers at this Post-Active and Retired.
City Clergy.
Union Corps.
Young America Fire Co.
Mayor aud Common Council.
Citizens on foot.
Citizens mounted.
Citizens in Carriages.
The Color Bearer Of the escort was
soldier from the 30th Iowa, who is here
in the hospital.
The procession moved down Seventh
street to Main, out Main to 18th, and
thence TO the cemetery. It was very
large and impressive, the soldiers in the
hospitals turning out en- nasSe, every one
that was able to mare being in the escort.
Business houses along the route were
closed, and flags at half mast and badges Of
mourning decorated the houses on Main
street, an evidence Of the high apprecia
tion Of the people for the dead and their
sympathy for the bereayed family. All
seemed to feel that brave and gallant
soldier had fallen, that another sacrifice
had been offered upon the altar of our
country.
