CHESTERFIELD CeURT.-This body held
its regular monthly session on Monday, as
usual, but little business was transacted.
Civil cases mostly occupied the attention
of the court. A freedman, name unknown,
for helping himself TO railroad iron, the pro-
perty of the Richmond and Danville rail-
road, was sentenced to the penitentiary.
We have, not learned whether he has yet
been pardoned-will probably be able to
inform our readers in the morning. "

THE VIRGINIA AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.
A meeting was proposed of the men,
bers of the Executive Committee
of the Virginia Central Agricultural
Society yesterday afternoon. A quo
rum was not present, but the Hon. James
Lyons, president Of the Society, stated to
those of the members present that appli-
cation had been made to General Brown,
of the Freedmen's Bureau, to restore the
grounds belonging to the Society for the
purpose of holding fair this fall. Gene
raj Brown replied that there were sixty
freedmen and three whites there that he
did not wish to turn out on the community
without any work or means Of support !;
and so the Society, upon Investigation of
the matter, determined that the fair should
be held next May, and also during the en-
suing fall. .. a

q ANOTHER NATIONAL CENETERY.--Just
below the toll,gate on the Richmond and
Williamsburg turnpike, about two miles
from the city, workmen, under the direc-
ton Of the United States authorities, are
busy in opening graves and otherwise pre-
pairing vast burying- ground for the re-
mains Of 5000 soldiers. These are TO be
brought from all the places around the city
where prisoners dying in the hospitals Of
Richmond during the war were inferred.
We observe that at the Seven Pines Ce-
metery and at this new one very neat
houses are in course Of erection, which are,
we understand, to be assigned In each case
TO the person in whose charge the .ceme-
teries are placed, and who will receive Q
very GOOD salary for residing there aud

= TROUBLE AMONG the DIsrILLERs.-Two
Of the largest and NEST successful distille-
ries in this vicinity. Owned by General r.
G. Henningsen and Henry Smith, Esqs
were seized yesterday by . United States
Government detective from Warrington
because Of suspected fraud in the manu-
facture Of liquor. It seems that some In
formation has been given to the Govern
ment to the effect that these gentlemen
have been manufacturing and selling
whisky At s2.20 per gallon, and at the same
time paying two dollars tax per galloa to the
Government. General Henningssn Is well
known for his gallantry in General Wise's
brigade during the war, and was formerly
connected with Walkers Nicaragua expe-
dition, in which he was one Of the chief
officers. Mr.. Henry Smith was . recruit
ing officer in Confederate times for the
Confederate navy. The Government has
determined to stop all distilleries which do
not report promptly and correctly their
returns. II -

MArRrMoNLAL.--In our yesterdays issue
We had under the head Of distinguished
arrivals" the name of that gallant soldier
General James Conner, Of South Carolina.
We have since learned that his trip here
was one of invasion, and that, having cap
tured one of Richmond's fair daughters, he
is about to carry her off to the Palmetto
State. We object generally to the fair
ones of our city being carried off, but when
the successful raider upon any Of their
hearts is so brave soldier, we cannot but
congratulate him and extend to the happy
couple our sincerest wishes for long life
and happiness. Blessings innumerable at
tend them; and on their road through life
may misfortune always be many q days
march behind them.

r. COMFORTABLE TRAvELLING.-Thes sleep
ing cars of the Southern Transportation
Company used upon the Fredericksburg
railroad have been lately removed, the
comfortable sleeping chairs introduced into
the Company's cars by Messrs. Bragg &
Farnham having obviated their use. We
have lately had occasion to travel over this
fnely-equipped road, and have found it
much more comfortable and easy than the
roads north of the Potomac. The travel
ler at night has only to let his chair down
by means of hinge, and he is able to sleep
soundly, without extra charge. If he does
not wish to sleep, if he raises it he has o
luxurious seat. We are glad to learn that
Captoin Bragg intends tn introduce these
chairs into the greater number Of his cars,
so that the traveller will have the benefit
Of them by day as well as by night.

Changes in southern Sentiment.

Additional evidences continue to reach
Ms of the gradual change effected in the
Southern mind and temper by recent
events. Following the progressive lead OF
the South Carolina Legislature, the
Charleston Ne,rS tells the people of the
Palmetto State that they should now, in
view of the manifest failure OF President
Johnson's policy, turn their attention to
the constitutional amendment as present
ing, perhaps, the only remedy for their
present condition. The Newbern Times,
heretofore an ardent supporter Of the
Johnson plan, now as heartily supports the
amendment and the Radical anti-JohnsOn
candidate for Governor. The Savannah
RepuJlicaa is manifestly preparing to ex-
change the presidential for the congress.

its haste to secure union, would have

I. OAKwOoD MEMORIAL AssOCIATI0N-D0
yATIOSs,-The Treasurer of the Association
acknowledges remittances of money from
Gordonsville, Va; Asheville, N. c.; Shell
byville, Tenn, and Louisville, Ky. Some
of these are accompanied with letters
which breathe the most fervent strains OF
admiration, and of sympathy with these la
dies in the work in which they are engaged.
One writer declares that he has lost all but
honor. 1t is the poverty Of our people
which enhances the value of these gifts.
Surely every one must admire the strength
and beauty of that sentiment which
prompts them to care for the dead, while
life needs food and raimcnt, and they have
little or nothing above its common daily
demands. While the Government Is
lavishly spending millions to provide beau
tiful cemeteries for the bones Of those who
fell on the other side, the vanquished have
no resources but those which their dcvo-
ton may draw from their scanty stores.
Their private means seem wholly made
auate to the wants Of an enterprise Of di.
mensions so vast and appalling, but the
self-sacriicing and persevering spirit which
they exhibit in the matter, our women
leading the way, are an earnest OF success.
Their love and their deep poverty abolmds
to the riches Of their liberality.
The following letter speaks for Itself:
"SAvASSAH, GA, September, 1867
&C Mrs. N. II. Smith s =
"Dear Madam, Enclosed please find q
check for one hundred and eighteen dollars
and ninety cents (slls.sO), which l have

THE LASCAsTERIAN ScH0OL.-This
school, since it's re0pening after repairs,
has averaged an attendance daily of l2O
boys and GO girls. The attendance has
been diminished by the prevalence of
cholera and other causes, but the depart
ments are as full now as it was contem-
plated to make them. The new system of
education works we'll; though with the
number of scholars now at the school more
teachers will be required-eight instead of
five. Rev. James B. Gates is the superin-
tendent of the school. The management
il systematic and strict. The lessons are
commenced at 9 o'clock and ended at 3
o'clock. ..a .asans
We would recommend, and it seems to
be the general opinion, that this school
should be removed to another portion Of
the city. A place of education should

DRowNED.-On yesterday morning the
body of Mr.. Thomas W. Ballou, of Henrico,
was found in the dock at the foot Of Egl-
teenth street, in a much decomposed state.
On an evening about five days ago Mr..
Ballou, being taken quite i'll in the city
with choleraic symptoms, started for his
home in the county. Since that time he
has been missing, and it was only upon
yesterday, when his body was found, that
his anxious friends and family had any idea
of his whereabouts. Coroner Little was
notified of the finding of the body; and
upon proceeding to the dock and ex-
alnining into the facts he deemed an in
quest unnecessary, as the case was clearly
one of accidental drowning. -
Mr.. Ballou was an old citizen of Henrico.
and was formerly clerk Of the county Cir
cult Court. - sIn .E.-tt *. .''.< =. EEF.
