Nothing fsrther need be said to prove the at.
tractlveness Of this affair, but few words con-

10 regard to the manner In which the first pro.
vision has been carried out it is only necessary to
state that some two hundred limbs have been fur.
nhhed during the past two years. Respecting
the second, the tomb at Greenwood Cemetery
now nearly completed, affords mute and eloquent
PROOF. la this tomb have been collected two
hundred bodies Of deceased soldiers which were
occupying the space designed for the walks and
the re moval Of which was Immediately necessary
Permission Of the authorities at Washington has
been obtained to remove the remains Of two hun.

heroic dead.

salrega, the commanding officer of the beautifully
modelled Spanish corvette Churruca-
into man-of-war from the successful Confederate
blockade runner Savannah the sailing qualities of
which were so fully appreciated during the war |
having recently been promoted to the rank of |
captain of frigate, on Friday assembled in the |
cabin OF his vessel a select company, among whom
the press of the city included for the purpose
of celebrating the occasion and also for the pur.
pose as the BT1ndos drunk at the table authorize
us TO say, OF expressing the feelings of the officers
OF the Churruca towards the citizens of New Or |
Lee ms or the hearty hospitality they have received
IN this city. The event was marked with that dig
nihed sans ceTeDlOnie for which the Spanisrds |
have ever been noted and altogether the affair |
was enc Of the most recherche and conyiyial.
and VIII not little serve TO strengthen the ties
existing between the two nations. |
Any attempt TO particulsrize about the good |
things partaBen and said. would OCCUPY more
space than an ordinary edition Of the CREscENF
contains, but one item must be mentioned in con.
