SINGULAR CIRcUMsTANcE.-Mr.
T. FuNKE, of this city, cabinet-ma-
ker and undertaken, had shipped to
him from New Orleans last Sunday
per steamer Fashion, lot Of me-
tallic burial cases, enclosed in wooden
boxes. On coming to open the boxes,
one of the cases wasfound to con-
tain the embalmed corpse of Fed.
eral officer, attired in the uniform Of
d captain. There was no inscription
or other clue perceptible by which
to designate who the mysterious
occupant Of the case was, saving the
initials "R, @. d. roughly marked
on one of the sides of the wooden
box. The body was doubtless in
tended for shipment to the home of
the deceased, wherever that is, put
by strange oversight or neglect on
the part Of the New Orleans house
from whom the cases were pur-
chased, the one with the body got
mixed in with the others, and as
there was only the full complement
shipped, Mr.. FUNKE, who came up
with them, did not discover the sim
gular mistake until he came to un-
pack them. He forthwith repacked
the case in its box for re-shipment
to New Orleans.

BETTER FEELIHG.-It is agreeable
to mark the daily softening of the
asperities created by the late terri
Bile war. We do not think history
furnishes a parallel to the complete.
ness and unreserve with which the
South has submitted to the awards
of the sword in this great political
and sectional duel. Tt really looks
as if, after all q great many of the
people were not half so sorry at the
result as they either thought they
would be, or pretended they were.
The feeling bere is answered at
the North, and the bowls of even
the blood-thirsty begin to slacken.
The Nation is recovering from its
temporary paroyxsm of insanity,
aud reason and fraternity are once
more regaining the helm Of the pub.
lie mind. This improved tone of
opinion bids fair TO ripen into
sweeping act of oblivion of the past,
and friendly and cordial locking
of shields together for the battle OF
National life in the future. Happy
will be the day and hour when the
President of the United States will
see his way clear to issue such O
proclamation of blessed peace
Nothing would tend more to hasten
him to such a conclusion than a
tour through the Southern States.
