as the Emperor, bare headed walked with his

him u grand ovation, strewing their path with
fresh leaves in advance of their coming and
showering blossoms upon them AS they passed,
while the air was vocal with patriotic cries of

The battlefelds about Richmond have
been already mostly reclaimed by nature, and
at Cold Harbor, Fair Oaks, Seven Pines and
Malvern Hill scarcely any traces of fight are
seen. Below Petersburg there are few traces
even of such formidable fortications as Stead
man, Hell and Damnation. The Crater and
the fields around it are owued by Mr.. Griffiths,
who has built u house near the Crater, which
has been left almost untouched, and thick
underbrush of peach trees and sprouts has
sprung up from the pits thrown away by the
soldiers during the siege. The ravine where
the dead lay in great heaps on that terrible
morning has been brought under the pillow
year after year, until now only slight de-
preston in the field can be pointed out. The
visitor has to pay - cents for glimpse of
the Crater and the interior of shed stocked
with battle relics.

The BORDER RAILWAY WAR in Vermont
took new phase last week Wednesday, when
the directors of the Missisquoi and Clyde rail
road held a meeting at North Troy and voted
to relay the track recently torn up by the
Passumpsic road. In accordance with this
resolution the work of repairs was promptly
begun, the people along the line turning out
to help, and at night trains were running be-
tween Mansonvlle and West Farnham. Thurs
day night Emmons Raymond, president of
the Passumpsic road, was arrested at Newport
on a charge of tearing up the track of the
Southeastern road and impeding the transpor-
tation of the United States mails, After be-
ing taken to Richford and released ON &c.
600 bail he was re-arrested and again released
on proper recognizance. Mr.. Raymond talks
confidently of his ultimate success in the
muddle, while the Southeastern managers are
equally confident that success has crowned
their efforts Both parties are evidently
working quietly for legal possession of the
road
Later.-An injunction has been granted
restraining the Passumpsic Railway managers
from interfering with the Missisquoi and
Clyde Railway in any way Superintendent
Folsom of the Passumpsic road is under ar
rest charged with trespass in tearing up the
rails of the Mssisquoi and Clyde road, and il
is expected that President Raymond will be
arrested on similar charge. 1t is rumored
that the Passumpsic managers have brought
q suit for foreclosure against the Southeastern
road for the whole or q portion of the amount
due the former by the latter.
