we, the officers of your Brigade, desire in this
sad and painful hour to express to you the re-
gard, esteem and affection we cherish for you.
Amid the gloom that hangs over Us, and even in
this time of such deadly peril to the sacred cause
in which We have fought for four long years with
such high hopes, we find q consolat ton in the
recollection that the Brigade has never fsltered
or failed in any task assigned to it, but has al-
ways done it's duty nobly and we'll and are
soothed by the kindly feelings that partcipa-

dered among us. These recollectioRs will always
be grateful to us, and with pride will We ever
member that we belonged to " Cookies Brigade. I"
For these consultations in this terrible calamity
We desire to acknowledge our indebtedness to
you. You have indeed been to US a kind friend
and true brother. as we'll as y faithful and able
commander. We have so often followed Won to
victory and so long profted by your friendly
counsel and kindly advice, that we can scarcely
realize that We are 80 soon to separate; but the
die is cast and We must part-for time at least
But though We may never meet again, yet we Eiu

HORSE TALK.-We men toned, few
days since, the fact that arrangements
have been made for a weeks racing on
the Fair Grounds track, to commence
early in October. Nearly all the money
for the purses has been raised. There
is but little more to be obtained to rem
der the affair certainty. Mr.. M. F
Stone has been appointed to solicit sub
scriptions to make up the deficit, and
when this is done an association will be
formed and its officers elected. Some
of the best running stock in the coun-
try has promised to be here, and we
think we can guarantee weeks sport
equal to any Wheeling has ever known.
Next Thursday we are to have sta
bic trot between fast nag from Barnes
Vile and two heetfooted Wheeling
horses. If the track and day be good,
fast time may be looked for.
On the 4th of September we are to
have twenty mile trot between St.
Clairsville mare and Wheeling horse.
This is trial of bottom as we'll as of
speed. From the time made by the ami
mails while training, we are satisfied
that it will not be "slow" race by any
means, and it is very evident to us that
the winner must be speedy as well as
winded.
The track is in beautiful condition,
and is light, springy and dry. Though
but half mile in length, there are few
better "time tracks" in the country.

Is IT TRUE.-It is rumored that the
consolidation contract between the Pan
Handle route and it's connections, and
the Columbus, Chicago & Indiana Cen
trail misunderstanding the Pittsburgh
Cincinnati g. St. Louis Railroad-wilI
will be Cancelled at. an early date, il
being found that the present arrange
ments arc not advantageous to the par
ticular interests of either of the con-
tracing parties. If this shall prove
true, we will not be surprised to hear
that the Baltimore 81 Ohio road has
stepped in, and, by making an arrange
ment with President Smith, of the c..
c. II. G. railroad, secured first class
through route to st. Louis.

po,,cr couRr.-Sly as YOU keen

| POLICE CouRT.-Sly as you. keep
lit, it is getting to be well established
fact that when John Smith gets started
on the down grade he goes it with a
rush. Day before yesterday John made
his debutin the Police Court on charge
of plain drunk. He got off with fine
of 81 and costs. This didn't suit him.
He is ambitious, as are all John Smiths.
Others had paid twice as much, and
more, for like offense. Should he,
Smith-John Smith-be content with
so small an effort and 80 poor a fine
Perish the thought! So John got on q
complicated drunk, embellishing his
cavortings with cursing and swearing,
and giving out-the sly Smith-that he
was possessed of a desire to "bust
somebody's snoot." He was arrested,
and attained the summit Of his ambi-
ton in being fined IS and costs, or fif-
teen days on the chain-gaug.r
Henry Dyer was found between 6 and
z o'clock on Thursday evening, on
Water street, full of noisy benzine. As
Henry had all the elements of fight in
him. though in a crude state, an officer
gobbled him in. He was fined 81 and
costs, or ten days. a.as SOB
Old Mrs. Downey, the flowers OF
whose sixty summers, and SHOWS OF as
many winters, sit as lightly on her wig
as if years were not made up of toll and
worry and tears and beartache, was
charged with being drunk on the streets
and with throwing stones at passers- by.
She was fined 81 and costs.
Mrs. Reddy was ready when her case
was called. She is always Reddy, she
is. She was charged with giving her
devoted husband, John, whaling on
the face with stick. 1t appears that
John is not always SO choice in his Ian
guage towards his better two-thirds as
he might be, and at this particular time
he had called her what one of the wit
nesses pronounced "plackcart worts."
She was fined 81 and costs, and re-
for remission of the
fine was sent to the Mayor. ..--~

BUYING UNwEIGHED CoAL.-A com.
plant was entered in the Police Court
yesterday morning against Messrs,
Sweeney, Bell Il Co, tor buying coal
that had not been weighed upon the
city scales, contrary to the ordinance,
The ordinance says that all coal that
comes to the city in wagons, carts oil
other vehicles" must be weighed by the
city weighmasters before being deliver
ed to the buyer, under a penalty not
exceeding $40 to the seller, and not ex
ceediBg - to the buyer. Sweeney
Bell d Co., purchased fiat load
of coal in Ohio and brought it to this
side. While they were having it hauled
to their works, the weighmaster of the
First Ward, we believe, learned that il
had not been weighed in this city, and
entered the complaint. On the exam
ination of the case yesterday, it wa:
proved that the coal had been weighed
in Ohio and delivered to Sweeney, Bel
q Co., in that State, and that they
themselves brought the boat over tt
this side of the river. There being M
infraction of the ordinance the case wa'
dismissed.

REASON FOR PROMPT ACTION.-Before
the Supreme Court Of Appeals, yester'
day, Mr.. Sehon, Prosecuting Attorney OF
Greenbrier county, gave as a reason for
the prompt hearing of several cases in
which he was interested, that he had no
assurance that his name would not be
stricken from the list of qualified votors,
before he could return home, and if that
we're done he could not, of course, hold
his office, so that if the Court wished to
hear him in the cases, it were better
they should hear him at once. This is
its own commentary. 1t presents
sweet condition of affairs.
