The reaincident ot Easter Sun day in feeyiile, Spain, "this year was a bullrficrht.'at which tlie JDuke and Duchess ot Montpensier, with all their family, were present. A cor respondent says : "Before we left we saw six splen did bulls despatched, and they kill ed no less than eighteen horses, be sides seriously injuring three picado res, one of whom, I -'fear, will hard-, ly recover. One bull alone killed six hordes, and on one occasion lif ted both horse and rider at least three feet from the ground, tossing them one over the other a dread ful sight; - Indeed the treatment of the horses -is the most cruel and-I hope I may be forgiven for saying it: the only disagreeable part of the affair, for all the rest is an exhibition of skill and courage which it is im possible not to admire. But it is astonishing how soon one gets ac customed to blood. When I saw the hrst horse gored androlled over on to his rider it really made me feel quite ill, and when a second was sacrified in the same way 1 thought I must leave my seat ; but the third produced very little effect upon me at all, and I looked at the rest as calmly as ray neighbors, who only recognized such incidents by ries of Bravo toro,' and shouts for music in his honor. Cuchares, the chief espada, loug considered the fir&t in. illl Spain, as now old, and was visited with much disapproval "or what 'were considered some clumsy thrusts; but Lagartijo was a marvel ot nerve and daring. He would draw' the bull after him with his cloak, after he had been charg ed two or three timea and had nimbly leapt aside, would sudden ly stand motionless a yard before his nose, while the bull would look at him with a puzzled expression, as though doubting whether he should make another rush or no. On one occasion, Lao-artiio saved the life of a picadore, who was ly ing helpless, on the ground, by kick ing the bull in the face, and when he came to kill the same animal, he drove his sword a- thin, straight weaDon. a yard long into the brute s back, up to the A. W , ' very hilt, with one clean thrust." Outrage in . JLexiiiglon, va.-A i! Student ftuot. The particulars of an outrageous affair at Lexington reached here yesterday, which, as far as we have been aoie.to ascertain, are as 101 lows : On Friday night a young son of Judge . Brockenbrough, aged about niueteen years, was escorting his mother home from church., The residence i some little distance out ot town, and is reached s by a narrow plank footway. About mid way between the town and the house they encountered a negro man and two women. , Some words occurred as to which should give way. .Fk nally the women discovering the la dy to be Mrs.' Brockenbrough Baid politely .tliat they did hot know that it was ner, and got out of the way for her, to pass. The man, however, was obstinate and insulting. Young Mr. Brockenbrough said, as they passed on, that he would see him again, v After accompanying his mother home he returned towards the town and meeting a negro asked him if he .was the man who had in sulted hiim,..The negro, repliecj that he- was, andrat the same time drew his pistol and fired. The ball took effect in the breast of Mr. Brock enbrough, and at first it was feared the wound' would prove fatal, bat at last accounts it. was believed, by the surgeon that no vital points had. been touched, una tnat he wouia recover. Grreat. .excitement .was caused by the affair, and some , de monstrations looking towards sum marv- vengeance were commenced by the students, but were arrested byj the interposition of cooler heaidSj and the negro rwfewmitted ito jail. -This villainous affair! is ? the natural consequence of the teacU- ings'of trie'Kadicals, scallavag and 'ft'eblJa 10th,' carpet baggers ;who infest the ISonth 1867.

The result of this' little raid around town can better be, imagined than explained ; and we are surprised to say, instead of tho "groom, who is a' zealous "Good Templar," returning "right side np,,vhe was to use a. mild ex pression, jolly tight, and his newly made wife refused to admit him, and persisently vowed that she would return home on the morrow ; and, ringing the bell, alarmed the clerk, who provided an extra bridal chamber lor one, and the groom was soon sleeping profoundly. On the morrow, after having passed the night in profound slum ber, all unconscious of . having any wifej he was astonished to learn thatr she hud . deserted - h i mi - But such was the fact. She had retiirn ed to her parents, in Fayette county, where she still . remains, refusing, thus far, to become reconciled to the man who could desert her on their first day of wedded life for the society of male tnends. Cincinnati Commercial. Pedestrian sm. Edward Payson Veston, the liv ing wonder of this pedestrian age, has' jut been 'backed by Mr. Good win for $25,000 a side, Messrs. Win. E. Fredericks, S. G.

A purse of $25,000 will also ber presented to AVeston on accom plishing this monster feat. By the articles of the agreement he will not be permitted to walk on Sunday, thus leaving him only 86 days to walk, making an average of 58 miles per diem.; He will also have to walk 100 miles in 23 hours five times, once in each thousand, or forfeit $2,000 for each time he fails. He will also walk fifty miles in ten consecutive hours, once in each thousand miles, making five times in all. In both of-these events he will be allowed, two trials.
