Tbe theatre remained olosed nntll April 6, When the Black Crook was produced. Tbls piece ran for the balance of tbe month, and the receipts for twenty-six performances were $16,872, or about IGlO.for eaob performance. At tbeAoademy of M uslo tbe best average is that of tbe La Grange-Brlgooli Italian opera troupe, nnder the direction ol Strakosob; and those who fancy that Offenhaoli'a muslo will injure the publlo taste for the best compositions ought to derive consolation from tbe faot that the per formances of La Grande Duchesse do Gerolstein did not pay as well as eltber the Italian or English opera. The aeoond best average was made by Rlstorl; and the Black Orook, whloh enthuslastlo admirers of high art feared would succeed In driving the legitimate drama from tbe stage, stands, according to average, tbe eighth In the list of twelve series of musical an 1 dramatlo entertainments. At the Walnnt Street Theatre tbe best ave rage was made during the montb of November, 1807, nearly tbe wbole of whloh was occupied by Mr. Edwin Forrest's performances. Tbeseoond best average Is that made by Mr. Booth in April, 1863. Tbe average for the month of De cember, 1867, when most of the performances of Mr. Brougham's sensation drama of the Lottery of Life were given, has the fifth plaoe In the record of ten months. A portion of this month was also occupied by Miss Lucille Western with tbe drama of East Lynne, another rooi of offense in the eyes of the critics. At the Arcb Street Theatre the best average was made during tbe month of March. 1868, when Lotta played six nights. Light at Last was performed six nights, and the other nights were occupied for benefits, with oue or two comedy performances. Tbe seoond best average was made In November, 1807, wben Miss Olive Logan's comedy of Surf ran for nearly the entire month. At the Chesnut Street Theatre tbe Black Crook which was produced in April, 1368, averaged the largest receipts. Tbe next largest average was for tbe month of November, 1867, when Mrs. D. P. Bowers appeared, and the third best was lor Ootober, wben Mr. J. E. Murdooh and Mrs. Bowers performed. We think that the advo cates of the legitimate drama and the higher class of entertainments can afford to take heart from the above statement, and not despair of the publlo taste Just yet; for, with the single ex ception of the Black Orook at tbe Chesuut, the legitimate paid belter than the sensational last season at all tbe theatres and the Academy of Muslo.

Freeman this morning joined him, ana took the re mainder of tbe over from C. Newnall, and on tbe fonrth ball made a pretty cut for two. Meade gave a wide on bis first over, which was a maiden.

Dickinson from drawing any warrant tor the payment of money to the said Mooney, aud Joseph M. Lyndall from cunterslgnlog such war rants; and tu rrs'raln the said Mooney hoax proceen 1dk with tbe said work. Tbe answer ol tbe defendants set forts that nnder tbs advertisement of June tbe plalntlfls were not the lowest bidders, but Andrew Haiua & Co. were, and to them tbe contract was awarded; but these parties gave up tbe contract, leaving It to be let out anew. The question arose whether it should bs theu awarded to the plain. Ifli, they being tbe lowest bidders after Beyus & Co.; but Councils ordered that the worlt su,ould be ataln advertised, which was accordingly done, SLd then Mr. Mooney, without having been previously Informed of the pla nt ftV former bid, be came the lowest bidder and received the contract. It wa also contended that tbe act of May IS, 1850, re lied upon by plaintiffs, did not apsly to this work, tor it was n -t a part ot tbe annual supplies, for wblcb each department made yearly estimates, but was round to be necessary since tne las. lime such estimates were made; aud tbe city had a rlgbt t refuse to rive the contract to auy of tbs bid ders, and to make tbe experiment of a new letting bv adverllHemeut. And finally, the plalm Ills were not entitled to tbe Interposition of a court or equity since they had an ample reuiedy at law for noa-uotupllauo of contract If as they said, tbe city upon their bid had coi.traetrd to allot lueiu this wore.

O.-Cleneral Sibley's report of tbe Camilla tnassaore was reoelved to-day by General Howard, who I mmodlately transmitted it to tbe Beoretary of War. General Sibley says: "No action whatever baa been taken by tbe civil authorities at this date (Ootober 6) towards bringing tbe gnilty parties to punishment, and no inquest was beld upoh tbe bodies, nor Investigation had, exoept by tbla Bureau and Captain Mills, by order of tbe commanding officer of tbe Dlstrlot of Geor. gla, Iwbose report bas been forwarded to tbe commanding officer of the Department of the Sonth." He fnrtber says, "It Is not believed possible to bring the guilty parties to pnnlshment through the civil authorities of Mitchell county, tbey being engaged In the affair and Justifying It, and no unbiassed Jury could be lonnd in that oonnty." General Sibley makes no further remarks which relate to this riot, but simply submits tbe affidavits, together with a private letter from an officer In that oonnty, who makes a epeolal request of him that it be not published. The following Is Sibley's report: McPberson Barracks, Atlanta, Georgia, Sep tember 2D, lSWJ-Brevet Brigadier-General It. U Urum, A. A. G., Department of tbe South, Atlanta, Georgia. General I have tbe honor to repott that In compliance with Special Orders Mo. 44, from Headquarters Department of tne South, 1 proceeded to Camilla, Mltohell county, Georgia, on tbe 23d Instant, to investi gate the oocuirences at that plaoe on the 19th instant. I respectfully report as follows: A few days previous to tne lmh Inst, notices were circulated In Djugherty and Mltohell counties, that a Republican meotlng would be beld at Camilla, UeorgiM, on that day, and that W. P. Pierce, a caodloate for Congress for that District, John Murphy, candidate as elector lor that distrlot. Putney, and others, would ad dress tbe meeting. That pursuant to that notice a number of oolored people from the plantations between Albany, Georala, and tbe neighborhood of Camilla, proceeded In a body to that place, accomp nled by musicians and a wagon. This crowd numbered from S200 to 300 oolored people, abont one-half of whom may have carrleo firearms of different descriptions; that wben within two or three miles or Ca milla ihey were met by W. B. Poo re, Sheriff of Mitchell county, accompanied by four or Ave cltizeiis of Camilla, who protested against them entering tbe town with arms, claiming that, in accoi dance wltb a laie proclamation of tbe Governor, be was empowered to demand that tbey do not enter tbe town wltb arms. Tbls demand of the Hnerlff was replied to by Messis. Pierce aud Murphy, on behalf of the crowd, by slating that tliey were not an organ ized body, and In no way under the oontrol of any leader, that tbe persons with arms .carried tbem of tbelr own accord, and assured the Hberin,and citizens of Camilla with him, that they were go) Bg to Camilla for tbe purpose of attending a ineeilDg, and tbat their Intentions were peaceable, and without Intent to disturb tbe peace of the place, I would reaped fully call your attention to the affidavits of W. H. Pierce, John Murpby, l I Putney, and W. S. Poore. Sheriff of Mitchell county, for afullun. deralandlng of what took plaoe between the StieiilT and the freed me u at tola time. From the affidavit it will be seen tbat he csn Bldered the attitude of tbe crowd approaoblng tbe town, of such a cbaraoter as to induce him to return to ibe town and prepare tbe citizens against attack, by dlreollng tbem as a posse to have their arms ready in case he should oall upon- tbem to assist him In preserving the peace. I have been unable to obtain any evidence tbat these colored people going to Camilla on tbat day were eltber Instructed or advised by any one to carry arms with then eltber for purposes of defense or violence, or that tbey seriously expected Interruption from holding tbelr meeting, although from some of tbe en closed affidavits It is alleged tbat one James Johns, a white citizen of Camilla, had fre quently Bald tbatno Republican meeting should be held at Camilla, and tbat on this day tbls man Johns, armed with a gun, met the crowd some tbree miles from tbe town, and told tbem tbat tbey should hold no meeting or speaking at Camilla, and if they came In tbey would be burl. Upon tbe crowd entering the town en route to tbe court house, tbey were met by this man Johns, who was intoxicated and armed wltb a gun. He was boisterous and angry in his manner, and ordered tbe musicians In the wagon to cease playing. His orders were not obeyed. In some of tue enolosed affidavits, it stated that he then fired his gun at the people In the wagon; by otbers tbat bis gun was dU. charged accidentally, and not in tbe dlreotlon of tbe wagon. However tbls may be, tbe result of Ibe discharge of tbe man's gun was an im mediate tire from both colored people and olll Bens of tbe place. It is admitted by all persons tbat this man's gun was the first one fired, and tbat it was dis charged witbout provocation. In conversation with ibe citizens or Camilla, this man Johns was described to me as a drunken and danger ous man and frequently In difficulties, and oue whose aots tbey deprecated, and that ou tbat day be was intoxicated. ' Under these clroumstanoes It cannot bnt be considered neglectful ou tue part of the Sheriff In not seeing that this man Johns was kept out of the way on tbat day. particularly as be was drunk, and as be (tbe Hherlff) appears to have apprehended so much trouble from tbe ap proaching crowd and the excitement existing among tbe citizens of tho place. For a full understanding of tbe oconrrenoes from tbe lime tbe sheriff - met tbe crowd advanc ing on ibe roiid to to n, until tbs bring commenced and Its results, I lespeinfully rail attention to tbe enclosed alUdavlts of bo'U citizens of Camilla and persons who went there to attend ths meetlug. Ho far as it was pt aalble to learn the casualties 00 thai day.lbs) wars as JolIot: Nine killed (colored), from twenty-five to thirty wounoed (colored), tteve ral slightly, cltbens Ol Camilla wounded (walla), none severely. ... From ibe enclosed statements of parties pre-ent It will bs seen tbat the bring Id town did not continue many minutes, but tbat tho colored people II .d to tbe adjoining woods, and tbat tbey ware pursued by tbs clur-as as a pesss of tue BUerlft', some or lh-.ru mounted and Borne on foot, and tbat firing of guns through the woods was heard during tbs balance of tbs day. Tbe SUerltflu hi affidavit states tbat three colored men were killed one mtia from the town, I have been unable to And any proof tbat the colored people who went tbat day to Camilla were advised by any ol tbe white men who accompanied tbem, and who ware to ad drew tbem, eltber to go armed for defense or v:oiauoe. but that, on the contrary, tbe Inclosed affidavits sbow tbat Messrs. Pierce, Murpby, and Putney all advised and Impressed upon tbem Ibat they should be peaceable and law-abiding la all tbelr acts, as tbey were meeting at Camilla in tbs exercise ot their rights as cltiaeas of tbe United Hiatus. Tbat the cltiKens of the town of Albany were In any way Implicated or connected wltb tbs oocurreaoes at Camilla on Ihe lKiu Instant Is In no way proven. It Is explained in tbe affidavit of the Sheriff of Mltohell county, that notice of some oolored people having left Albany on tbe evening of the ISth Instant for Camilla, was reoelved by him through a person living In the adjoining town of Newton. Tbls is in no way denied, as by reference to the affidavit of Peter Hlnes, the leader of the band, It will be Been t bat the musicians, with other freedmen, left Albany on tbe evening of tbe 18th. ,. , I herewith transmit the proceedings of a meeting of tbe citizens of Albany. Ua., held on the 26th, aJd I wll state tbat information was freely tenderedtne by all parties. I was accom panied by Brevet Major A. H. Howard, sub Assist. Com. B. R-, F., aod A. Lu, from Albany.
