Az Hour AMONGST THE HoRsEs, AssE.

An Hour AMONGST THE HORSES, ASSES,
AND CATTLE GENERALLY.-Alo local reporter,
with an hour to spare, sauntering along
MAYO street on Saturday, was attracted by
a great noise, certainly as of the conflict OF
many voices, if not the rush OF many
waters. Turning in the direction whence
it came, he found himself soon in crowd
of horses, mules, COWS and calves, drays,
carts, buggies, wagons, men, boys, negroes,
and last, but not least, auctioneers. The
auctioneers were elevated in various ways
above the heads of all others, and shouting
with might and main the praises Of the
things they were selling, and the prices
they were going at. Yociferating from va
rious vehicles, and one of the best takers
amongst them from a pile of lumber, they
suggested comparison with the Drama oi
Greece in its earliest sallies before the pub
lie, when the actors performed In the
streets upon kind of stage on wheels.
They were masked-our actors were un-
masked--unmasked batteries from which
poured incessant yolleys OF vociferation
that shook the earth. 1t was a war OF
voices. Each orator was determined to do
or die. In the powerful effort IL seemed
certain that there would be splitting OF
breeches or lungs, and we couldn't tell
which. With swaying arms and clenched
hands they pounded the impalpable air.
Here was one who looked defiance and
thundered forth assertions in o manner that
no man could have the courage to contro-
vert. There face, the picture OF despair,
uttered in canting tones what seemed to be
Jeremiads. That man evidently thought
the world would come to an end II he got
not the worth Of his cattle! In this multi
form drama the comic muse was tragicai,
and the tragical muse was almost dylngol 2 .
| fit of comedy. The Greek drama was al
fiction, and in this particular our actors OF
Council Chamber Hill widely differed from
| h !: since they are oil reality and truth a
man who expects anything but tho most
reliable and truthful ayerment on that
classic hill on Saturday will find himself
most egregiously mistaken.

acutely. Everything that was sold was

WOUNDED At HoLLYwooD CEMETERY
The young men who so generously labored
at Hollywood on Monday and Wednesday
last In repairing the graves of their fallen
fellow soldiers have suffered more than
fatigue and pain caused by unwonted ex-
ertion! Several of them, in their earnest
ness, cut their hands and arms severely,
and twenty or twenty five ut least have
been 50 injured by the poison oak which
grew near the graves that they carry their
hands in sings, and are unable to attend to
their business. The pain and penalty,
however, will be cheerfully borne; and
surely, if it is glorious to be wounded OF
manned in war, it is more noble and glo-
rious still to be wounded or injured in en-
deavoring to protect and preserve, when
war is over, the narrow mounds beneath
which sleep in peace those who in life were
so herOically brave and true. Our young
men will not regret their sufferings, but
will think with pride that even when the
rattle Of the musket, the boom of the can
non, and the cold CLEAN of the sabre had
ceased, they had still been wounded in the
most exalted of all the duties dcyolyine
upon the south--that Of laboring upon the
grave of the fallen Confederate soldier.
