As the hour approached for the race, the Virginians began to draw their wallets, and took all the odds offered, until the betting ranged at one hundred to eighty. From twenty to thirty thousand dollars were quickly posted onthe result. the odds at the start averaged aboutone hundred to seventy-five, Both horses loosed in capital condition; if there.was any fault to be oiscovered, it was in Garret Davis appear- ing rather too fincly drawn.

He was ridden by the same jockey that guited him in his race with Fanny Fern, on Mouday Jast; and. as many per. sons rewarked, about as injudiciogsly as possibiy could be. He might have followed the inatructious given his, when told to trailon the first beat, but to pull a horse all to pieces, as he dic, on the first two miles of the drat heat, when far behind, was e piece of folly that mot with its own reward in the sequel.

Ho was thicty yards behind on the first half mile, and the idee still paresies: in retarding the speed of his horse. On the lower turn, anion the bomestretch, he made no eflort to get closer to the gray, and when he let his horse loose it was only to take a harder pull. as the gray approached the staui, Mr. Hare called to his boy to pull hard, think ng the gray needlessly too tar ahesd. ‘the time of the fret mile was 1:56.

Her protracted illnes# of several years was borne with remarkable patience and resignation. De- prived of the power of speech and of all her energies, her mind remained in full vigor during the long suffering of body which sho was fated toundergo. Tho simplcity of manners, the domestic and social virtues, tho gene- rous, high toned, well regulated feelings, the religious faith in which she was nurtured in her father’s house and among the Virginia Puritans of Rockbridge, stood the test of thirty years, spent amidst the fashionable life of Weshington City, and the prejudices of ita politisal life, without reproach. Her devotion to her husband was her ruling feeling, and” their ives may de said to have been inseparable, for she bas made her home wherever his business called him. She waa reconciled to part with him on his late return to Musourt When she s!gvified her desire for his recall it wae too late. She was attended ia her last moments by hor daughter, Mrs Fremont irs.

SAMURL STEVENS, OF ALBANY, This eminent lawyer and distinguished citizea snd politician died on Monday night, (1th inst., at Rochester, His oge, we believe, was ubout sixty-five years. fle was of Welsh origin, anda native of Washington county ia this State, where he read ond practiced law, until his re moval to Albany, about the year 1838, Originally » federslict im pelities, on the dissolution of the federal party he embraced the fortunes of De Witt Clinton, and Secuine av ardent friend of that distinguished statesman, In 1526 he was a membrr of the Legislature of this State, and tiok ® prominent stand among the siatesoen of that period as an eloyuent and influcotis! debater in the Assembly. Whon the anti-dasocie excite. ment broke out lo this “tate, it divided the friends of Clinton and of Joho Quincy \dams. Mr. Stevens wos a friend of both these statesmen, and the county of Wash- ington had given large majorit After 1828, n majority of the people were anti-atasonic in feeling. Mr. Stevens refused to joia ia the erusace against the Masonic fraternity, and consequently was deieated as a candidate for Covgress ia 1880. He, how. ever, acquired the first rank as # counsellor st law, and for twenty five years stood ia the frout rank of the bar Of ths State. After his remoyel to Albany, the anti- Masonic feellog having died away, and the whi. party having come into power in tuis State In 1839, many of nited states Senator, of Viegimia, for Sinator fron the friends of Mr. Stevens were anxious that be should : restive the appointment of Attorney General, which Oficer was then chosen by tho Legisisture. Througn the efforts of Horace Greeley, Noun Cook and ovher ec tive whigs in the Legisiature and the lobby, Willis Hall was nominated the whig caucns, by 4 ma- jority of one vote over Mr. Stevens, who, therefore, continued in private life. A few years since, under the present constitution, Mr. Stevens was placsd on the State ticket by the whig party as can licate for the of- fice of Attorney General. He was, however, defeated by the voles of the anti renters being concentrated in fa- vor of his opponent on the democratic ticket. In the recent division of parties, Mr. Stevons has beou cunsid- ered a national, or silver gray whig, opposed to the abolitionists, to Governor Seward, and the section of the whig party, which have railied under his banoor. He haa Ae stroe gest attachment to Daniel Webster ca A personal friend and @ statesman But the greatest ambition of Mr. Stevens was to be, what he wus, o thorough and eminent lawyer. In thst profession he ‘was not, perhaps, excetlec by any maninthe State As a citizen he was highly esteemed, ao he was equally qualified to shine m domestic and social circles as at the bar and in legislative bodies.
