I'll, graves of the Confederate dead
there buried are generally well defined and
substantially enclosed within the precincts
of HOLLYWOOD Cemetery. Each grave can
be identified hy reference to the register
kept hy the sexton, the number Of the re-
ri>tcr corresponding with like number
on the plat.
With these facts before them, the COM
mi,tcc would earnestly recommend that n
small head stone or slab be placed over
each grave, with the name, company and
regiment inscribed upon it. The commit
tee would respectfully urge this plan as
the most practical, probably most cconom-
ical, and certainly the one most calculated
To appeal 10 the hcrcavcd heart that mourns
its dead buried by strangers in strangers
burying- place.
The committee would further report,
that the present enclosure Of Hollywood
Cemetery being, for all practical purposes,
sufficient and prciectly protective against
any unhallowcd intrusion, they would sug-
gcst the propricty of retaining this cnclo-
sure for the present, and gathering up, as
far as practicable, the remains of those
who lie buried in the open fields contigu-
ouS to Richmond. Over these graves the
ploughSharc must soon pass, and ohlltc-
rate all traces of the spot where hero
lies buried.
The committee would also recommend
that the proposition of the young men OF
the city to clear the grounds and repair
the graves bc accepted, and that May 2Sth
DC the day devoted to this sacred duty.
and that the citizens generally be request
ed to unite in this tribute OF respect 10 the
memory Of these martyrs to southern in
dependence.
All of which is respectfully submitted
10y the Committee on Plans and Estimates.

OPENING OF THE PETERSBrRG RAILWAY
BRrpGE-EXCURSION To CHESTER.-Satur-
dav last was not a pleasant day for an cX-
cursion party, but the persons who had
been invited by Colonel Strong to take a
trim over the now bridge, which has already
been fully described in the Dispatch, seemed
determined not to allow their ardor to be
damped by even the steady fall OF the
soaking rain. The river looked colder,
dcepcr, and wcttcr than ever, and as Tor

The excursion train, which consisted OF
two passenger and two baggage cars, was
drawn by the "Henrico" locomotive, which
was gaily dccked with flowers. At ii
O'Clock the train left the depot at the foot
of Eighth street, the bridge was safely
crossed, and in short time the party, with
duIled spirits, were landed in the rain and
mud in front Of the Chester Hotel.
Zetelle. the wcll-known reStdTdter OF
Main street, then took charge. Tables
were put up in the blcak-looking dining
room, plates, dishes, knives, and forks were
produced, and large bowls Of claret punch
and toddv revived the dropping feelings OF
the wet and weary. The dinner was every
thing that could be desired: the wines and
cigars were excellent and abundant; and
Zctelle' has added another to his already
long list of successfully managed and adj
mirabc dinners.
While the eating and drinking were

Strong and Colonel Ellis were, very much
to their regret, prevented by sickness from
being present. T0aStSto the Richmond ana

christcned, and the party returned to Rlch,

left the banks OF the placid canal.
During the trip number OF speeches
were made, and one Of them, which merits

The CONCERT on SATURDAY NlGHT.-Thc
concert and reading given by MesSrS. DE
Leon and Wheat, al Virginia Hall, on Sa-
turday night, was but thinly attended
and this is not surprising when ii is rcmem-
bcred how many entertainments OF various
kinds have been recently given i'll TINS city,
and that Mr.. Wheat, rs Il pianist, was not
well known in Richmond. Mr.. Wheat
played the pieces set down for him i'll the
programme with a force, precision, ana
ease. combined with Il correct taste ana Il
charming variety of expression, which we
have never heard equalled by any native
American on this continent; and he IS, be-
yond all doubt, the finest pianist that mas
vet appeared in public in this city. 1t is
understood that Mr.. Wheat will give vo-
cal and instrumental concert on Wedncs-
day night at the Virginia Hail. and, now
that his great powers and musical talents
are known, we hope that he will lind fun
house to appreciate the natural genius and
carefully cultivated skill of one who does
honor to Virginia, the State in which nc
was born. At his concert on Wednesday
night, Mr.. l.. Z. Wheat will be assisted by
Mr.. Theodore Habelmann, the celebrated
tenor; Mr.. Henry Jungnickel, the famous
violoncellist, and Signor Strini, the emf
nent basso. These gentlemen are all emf
ncnt in their profession, and, in conjunction
with Mr.. Wheat, will give concert such
as has seldom been seen III this city.
