The Gettysburg Dead.

iMesSrs. Editors Of the Dispatch: We learn
from your "Local" this morning that sercf,
hundred and eight Confederate dead, from
Gettysburg, are lying at Rockets en- route
for Hollywood for burial that nearly one
half Of these are of Pickctt's Virginia divi-
sion--ollr neighbors and kinsmen. lsitnot
Il fit token of respect that, during the pas
sage of the procession from Rockets to Hol.
lywood all the stores along the line of march
(hlain street. should be closed, and the houses.
so far as possible, be draped in emblcns OF
mourning?
These were our fathers, husbands bro
Tiers, and sons. They left; us nine long
years age, ,and arc now returning for the first
time. Imagine these all alive and in the
bloom of health, who could place bounds to
our JOY. and demonstrations Of respect and
honor? Shall they be less honored because
they have died for us? The names Of many
indeed Of most Of them, are unknown, bul
they are all dear to some one, and it may be
that many of us have near and dear friend;
in this company that we know not of. But
| we are sure you approve the suggestion an,
It's adoption. This is demonstration il
| which all our citizens can unite, whether na
| live or adopted. The gallant dead ever!
magnanimous spirit delights to honor.

Bloody Rum Gully.

To the Editors Of the Dispatch: / was
greatly surprised to learn u few days since
that the Commissioners of Streets, after sew
eral months delay in consideration and ne
gotiation with the contractors Of the Church
Hill tunnel, had finally decided against grant
ing the petition of very large and respect
able number Of taxpayers Of the citysfor the
extension of Broad street over the Bloody
Run gully to the corporate limits. of, the
city, and, as l understand, upon the ground
that the price demanded by the tunnel con-
tractors for placing cubic yard of dirt from
the eastern end of the tunnel over the gully
was fifteen cents. I very much fear when
the street is extended, as it certainly will be
in few years, that it will be at a cost of two
or three times as much as the present offer;
and 1t seems to Inc to he serious matter to
let the present favorable opportunity pass OF
getting the dirt on such favorable terms.

LATEST FOREIGN NEWS.


geneva, June 1.-THE question of adj
journment will occupy the tribunal to-day,
and probably longer, as arguments VIII be
heard to-day. Delicate issues will not be de-
tcrmincd hastily. The English case was not
presented Saturday.
The American argument was presented to
the court in an octave volume OF 600 or 100
pages, with Il smaller supplementary volume
printed only in the English language, and
the American agent, Mr.. Adams, declared
himself ready to proceed.
The English agent, Lord Tenterden,
failed to comply with the stipulated formal
ity of presenting papers, and simply asked
for an Adjournment in order that the Govern
ments might hayea further opportunity to en-
deayor to reconcile their differences on the
one main point at issue. He did not ask for
an adjournment for any definite period.
The proceedings o-day will depend en-
tirely on the latest dispatches from Earl
Granville to the English agent. The Amer
leans are fully instructed in every step, but
the English are drifting, and 1t is impossible
to say with what result, ayailing themselves
of every chance to ascertain the temper OF
the court and how far the Americans will go
in conceding the length of time for an adj
jotirnment.
