Meeting of n United States Court.

The United States District Court for
the Eastern District of Virginia met yes
terday, at Alexandria, for the first time
since the war commenced. Judge John
C. Underwood presided. District Attor'
ney L. H. Chandler, on opening the
court, made a speech congratulating the
Court and the country on the conclusion
of the war, and urged conciliation in all
matters relating to the confscation OF
property Judge Underwood conceded
in the views expressed by the District
Attorney. and ordered that in all cases
where pardons had been granted and the
amnesty oath taken, save those excepted
under the Presidents proclamation, the
suits should be dismissed on payment OF
costs.
In conformity with this order mum.
Der of persons came forward and paid
their costs, and proceedings against them
will be dropped. This, in effect, is re
nur citation of confscation in Virginia
and is in accordance with declaration
made short time ago by District Attor
ney Chandler, that he had received or
ders to discontinue all confscations -
This course undoubtedly receives the
sanction of the highest authority

What was the indignation of his men

of the bravery of the colored troops in
storming this battery, and ignoring the
very existence of his regiment, who real
.ly captured it, by not even mentioning
it's presence there, But this indignation
was still further increased when, by
some ones orders, these very guns We're
sent up to st Louis, and exhibited there
at soldiers fair, with certain battle
flags, as trophies of the bravery OF GER
tain colored troops, who were said to
have stormed and taken them at the
battle Of Jenkins Ferry, when, in fact,
there were no battle-hags there, and the
whole work of taking the guns was done
by his own regiment, which was not
even mentioned.

Through the courtesy of the United

lowing special dispach:
The second day of the Belmont County
Fair has closed perfectly satisfactory
to all parties, managers and audience.
The attendance to-day was larger than

been excelled in this county before.
Most of the day was occupied by rae
ing and exhibition of horses. There has
been l 1,537 entries, of which $50 consist
of horses.
The racing was splendid. The sorrel
mare owned by Mr.. Closes, of st. Clairs-
vile, was the successful competitor for
the prize in the pacing match. Made ex-
cellent time.
The Fair has been a great success in
every respect, especially, financially
Halls all crowded with people and full
of articles on exhibition.
Among the fast horses which are en-
tered for the trotting match tomorrow;
is one owned by parties in Pittsburg,
one owned by Mr.. Gilbert, of Colum-
bus, and one or two others-could not
obtain owners name.
Tomorrow being the last day of the
Fair, tho principal attractions are the
fast trotting match, the slow mule race
and the foot race. Will keep you posted
