CEMETERY AT BALLS BLUFF.

The remains Of our soldiers who fell in the
unfortunate battle Of Balls Bluff, Oct. 81, 1861,
were hastily buried after the engagement in
shallow trenches or graves. The thin cover
ing of earth gradually washed away from over
the graves, leaving the honored remains, in
many instances, exposed to view. Lieutenant
Colonel James NJ Moore, Quartermaster, has
recently selected a site, and located National
burial ground on the spot where the gallant
General Baker fell. The cemetery is on a
bluff eighty feet above the Potomac, and COM
mands a fine view of the surrounding country,
and is about one and three-q uarters of a mile
from Leesburg. 1t is circular in shape, and
enclosed by neat paling fence. In the center
is mound, intended to receive flag staff, and
on the inner circumference of the circle are the
graves of the fallen brave, whose remains have
been carefully collected and inferred; each
marked with a tablet similar to those in the
cemeteries near Washington.

was win reference TO the subject of suffrage in
tne District of Columbia, and continued for
nearly Hour hours The bill now pending be-
lore the house was discussed at length, and
various motions and suggestions We're made
concerning 1t. Although no definite under
standing was arrived at, il was evident that a
majority were opposed to the bill as reported
from the Committee on the Judiciary, which
SIMPLY proposes to strike from all laws in force

SeVeral gentlemen were in favor of having a
new form of Government for the District. Con
gress TO possess direct control of affairs but
tne general sentmentwas that theq uali III cations
Tor suffrage should bear equally on both white

write. The pending bill, it is probable, will be
amended In accordance with the above view.
