The Lynchburg Vttcan. of the 26th int.,r publishes the following incident, remarkable alike for iu singularity as well as for hi melancholy ful fillment to the brother of . one of the parties con cerned : ( Just before the war broke oat, and before Lincoln's proclamation was issued, a Youne Vir ginian, named Summerfleld, was visiting in the city ofNew'York, where he made the acquain- $nce r JT Holme. from Watrbury,t jVermont. He became somewhat intimate with 1 t n or vAiini i.iin. j. j uwi m ma laiercourseseemea 10 oe mutually agreeable. The proclamation was iatu. ed, and the whole North thro wn into a dIhka of excitement. Upon visiting the ladies one even ing, and at the hour of parti ne, they remarked to Summerneld that their present meeting would probably be the last; they must hurry home lb aidin making up the overcoa s and fclothing for the volunteers from . their town. Summerfiald expressed his regret that they must leave, but at the same time especially -requested them to see that the overcoats were, well made, as it was his loiemion, une ever met tha Vermont rwcimAnt I It bmW,e 'lcill one of' them and take his eoat. I 5 for e Virginia seceded. The 2d I Vermont regiment, a portion of which was from vuo wowiwi rraroury, was sent to Virginia. The battle of Manassas ' was fought, in which they were engaged, and so was Summerneld. During the bnltle 8. marked his man, not know ing to what State he belonged the fatal ball was sped on its errand of death jthe victim iell at the nasn ot tne gun, aaa upon rushirg up to secure the dead-man's arms, Sunimerneld observed that he had a fine new overcoat strapped to his back, which he determined toappiopriate to his own u e. The fight was over, and Summer field had time to examine his prize, when, remarkable as it , may appear, the coat was marked in the hnine with the name of Thomas Holmes, and ia the pockets were found letters signed with the Dime of the sister, whom Summerfleld had known in New York, and to whom he bad made the remark! we have' quoted in which the dead man was, address ed as brother. The evidence was conclusive, he had killed the brother of his friend, and the re mark which he had made in jest had- a melan choly fulfillment. . We are assured this narrative is literally true. Summerfleld now wears the coat, and our informant states is not a little impressed wiMi me siDguiariiy oi tne coinciaence. SCHEDULE OF MAIL ARRANGEMENTS. RALEIGH, N. C.
