In oar) last we announced the fact that Jefferson Davis, after having been taken to Richmond and transferred to the civ il authorities for trial,: was released on bull of $lOO,OOO. Horace Greeley, editor of the Tribune, ia the first name on the hall bond, and to his influence is Davis indebted for-hls freedom. It is known, however, that Chief Justice Chase was also exceedingly anxious that. Davis should not be tried, and ho rejoiced when he received intelligence of his re lease. Of course Davis will never be tried, and we concur with the Philadel phia inquirer (Radical,) that the bind ing him over in the sum of $lOO,OOO for his re-appearance was “ a mere farce.” Thore.is a mystery connected with the treatment Of Davis which, perhaps, will never be revealed. Like ths.t act of sin, “ the murder of Mrs. Surratt, an innocent woman,” (we quote Butler,) it looks dark and inexplicable. For two long years he Was confined in For tress Monroe. At first he was treated with a brutality that attracted the at tention and secured the condemnation of the civilized world. Manacles strong and; heavy enough to hold an elephant were riveted upon his wasted wrists and ankles; guards were stationed in his dark, wet cell day and night; a small bag of long straw was his bed; strong bacon, boiled beans and-hard crackers his food ; and no one, not even his wife; was permitted to see; him, nor did h'e dare even look at the soldiers who paced" 1 his cell. For some three months this torturing system 'was rigidly enforced. But all at once his persecutors relented, and their sympathies for the fallen chief carried them to the other extreme. .The same blacksmith who. had clinched and riveted bis manacles, was called in to remove them from his limbs; spacious apartments, well carpeted and well fur nished, were appropriated to his use; the guards were removed; the doors thrown open to his fatnily and friends i his table provided with all the dellca cies of the season, and fie permitted to walk out without even a guard, as often as ho pleased. Why this change of treatment? All a mystery! After waiting patiently for six or eight months, Davis, through his counsel, de manded trial. This demand he had a right to make, for “ a speedy trial” is guaranteed to every criminal by tbe Constitution. But the Radical politi cians, from some cause or other, refused to arraign the prisoner. A year, a year and a-hglf passed, and still no trial.—> Chase, the oily fox who was appointed Chief Justice of.-the U. S. Supreme Court , by the “ late lamented,” and whose sworn duty it was to arraign and try Davis, positively refused to do so. His excuses for refusing Davis “ a spee dy trial,” were frivilous, false and dis gracefully weak. Evidently, he was a/raid to try him I Chase had been a prominent disunionist himself; he had signed no less than six petitions praying fora dissolution of the American Union, and he feared revelations that would forever damn him, should Davis be brought to trial. The far-seeing O’Con ner was one of the counsel for,Davis, and he was,a lion in the path of Chase; for he was possessed of secrets well calcula ted to disturb the equanimity and excite the fears of the Chief Justice. Chase fears O’Conner as he does the devil, and perhaps more, and hence it was that he determined never to try Davis. Davis had now been a prisoner for two years, and prominent Republicans all over the country commenced the cry of “ shame, shame!” Greely, and Ben nett, and other prominent Radical jour nallslSfas well as many Radical Bena tors demanded that he be tried or set free. His release was finally agreed upon, and the head man in the rebellion is now at liberty by permission of the Radicals. There is a mystery in all this, we repeat, which may or may not come to light. One hundred thousand dol lars was paid out of the Treasury to cer tain Radical pets for the capture of Da vis, and now Greely heads a bail-bond of one hundred thousand dollars to set him free! How mysterious are the ways of some men. BELIEF FOB THE SOUTH. By reference to the proceedings of the Southern Belief Commission, it will be seen that a movement is now being made in this county in aid Of the starving peo ple of the South. Much has already been done by the Eastern cities, but much yet remains to be done; and we of Cumberland county ought to be pre pared to do our share. There'is no Ac tion about the terrible want and desti- ■ tution existing in certain portions of North and South Carolina, Georgia, Ala bama and Mississippi. It is it fearful reality, as any one may convince him self by reading the address of the Com mittee. The Committee have request ed the pastors of the various churches to take up collections for this laudable charity on Sunday June 2nd ; and we trust that all classes of our people will respond with open-handed liberality. "The news from South Carolina la enoourac inff* Gon. Sickles Is pushing on reconstruction In a very practical manner. His last order calls on all owners of stolen goods—property Blunder, ed under the flag-'Of the rebellion—to dusoree Furney't Prus. B b Would to heaven we hod some one In the North who had power to compel all thieves and plunderers to disgorge.— What a pile of green-backs and govern ment .bonds would we have? What wagon loads of stolen pianos, silver spoons, diamonds and precious stones, silver sacramental sets, ladles wearing upparrel, babies caps, &c. ? Really, we believe we would have enough to pay off one-half the whole national debt.— The ‘dead duck” of the iVass,would have to shelfcout about a-half million or so of dollars himself. It would be glo rious if satrap Sickles could be induced to promulgate his “order” here in the North. Sr party A candid confession, Indeed. The “ development of a Republican party in that section,” is about all the negro equality advocates are contending for. They care no more for the negro than they do for a dog, except to get his vote. The white peopleof theSonth and North desire to see the blacks made comforta ble and prosperous In their now qondl tiom but the Radicals are ready to per secute the black (pan to death lf .be re fuses to become their partitas tool. KIUT-THE HOIICC BIOT. It Is to’bo regretted* that men like “Judge” Wm.. D.Kelly are permitted to visit the South, when it is well known . to every man of sense that the object in view is to stir up strife and create a feeling of animosity between the whites and blacks. Previous to the rebellion had a dozen men North and the same number South been arrested and caged ■ or sent, out of the c mntry, would have had no war. When the first peti tion was sent into Congress from the Yankee New England States, praying for a dissolution of the Union, every man whose name was signed to it— Sumner, Wilson, all of them—should have been arrested at once, and at once transported. When Abraham Lincoln, some fifteen years ago, made a speech in Congress in which he spoke flippant ly In advocacy of the right of secession, he should have been arrested ; and when Iverson, of Georgia, a few "years subse quent, made a speech in the U. S. Sen ate, sneering at the power of the North, and bidding defiance to the Govern ment, he top should have been kicked out of the country or confined. Free speech is all right and proper, and we shall ever defend it, but when a dema gogue abuses this privilege and uses it for the purpose of creating a bad feeling between the people of a corgmon coun try, Knd .engendering hatred, ill-will and riots, he is a disturber of the peace and an Inciter and promoter of sedition, and should be treated as such. The late deplorable riot at Mobile is chargeable directly to. that most rest less agitator, BUI Kelly, of Philadel phia. Evidently it was a preconcerted affair; but whether it terminated ns Kelly desired, is extremely doubtful. Kelly is one of the creaturessent out by the rich thieves of the so-called “ Loyal League,” to insult and exasperate the starving people of the Bbuth, and, as far as possible, foment a deadly feud be tween the whites and the blatks, and at the same time secure, by promises of “ confiscation,” the votes of tfto ignor ant negroes to the Radical-disunion fac tion. From the tenor of his speech his object was apparent.. Fora few minutes he spoke calmly, and without a word of interruption; but this did not suit his natural taste, and he veered about at once and commenced a most terrific on slaught upon the white people of the South. Some he wanted hanged, others banished, and confiscation was to be in sisted on; Then turning to the negroes present, he informed them that they were free, and entitled to all the privil eges of white men—thatthe cars, church es, theatres, and all places of resort must be thrown open to them. They owned the larger"portion of all Southern prop erty, he told them-, and they must have that portion. ■ The Repub loans, hesaid, would stand by them, and it was expect ed that they (the negroes,) to a man, would vote the Republican ticket. Still no riot; white men walked quietly away. But our spouter was not to be foiled ; he wanted a “ fuss,” and would have it.— He therefore continued to rave, and dared any man to interrupt him. He had, he said, “fifteen regiments at his back, in fact the whole army of the Uni ted States, and he bid defiance to ail who did not agree with him." At this point of his speech a pistol was fired, and a white man—a police officer—was seen to fall. Other shots followed in quick succession, and a fcnrTul ITOT/GII- ’ sued. Three or four white men and as many blacks were killed on the spot, and some twenty—a white child among the number—seriously injured; Kelly, the instigator of the riot, coward-like, took to his heels, and was soon locked up in his room at the hotel where he stopped. Hud justice been done him he would have been dragged from his hid ing place, tarred and feathered, and escor ted out of town on a rail. But he was per mitted to depart without molestation, to retail his lies and get up riots in oth er localities. The blood of the men killed is on his hands and he should Be made atone for that blood. We repeat then that the Government owes it to itself and to the peace of soci ety to put a stop to the defamation of this wretch Kelly,, and all men like him. He is. trying to get up a fight, another rebellion, so that a set of vil lains may again be afforded an oppor tunity to fleece the Government to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars. He is a bad man, and the blood of those who fell in the Mobile riot cries aloud against him. Let him be/throttled be fore it ia too late, for his intention is to embroil the whole country iq-Jfetrife. An Important Admission. Perhaps there is no one thing that the Abolition speakers and editors have more presisteutly denied than that they were responsible for the rejection of the Crittenden Compromise in 1861. At last, however, Horace Greeley, in the Tribune of a recent date says: “If ft poll could then have been had on the question, the State# would have f/lven a popular vvtjarily for the Crittenden- Compromise. It was our raslc to stem this headlong torrent, arid save the nation from , committing a gigantic crime. We did this, perhaps not so wisely os another 1 might, out with such wisdom as we had." Here are two gigantic admissions.— That the people were in favor of the Crittenden Compromise, but the abo litionists would not submit to the peo ple, , They did not wish the people to rule. They wanted war. Second.— That Horace Greeley, and such men as he, went to the Peace Congress on pur pose to break it up, and bring on the war. Let these two facts be remember ed. . The end is not yet. The scoun drels and traitors who involved our country In war, are making confessions now in the hour of their successes, which they will.'flnd staring them in the face before long in an ugly manner. The day of judgment for these men is nearer than they suppose. There 1b land enough at the South for all, and It will yot be seen that ftla forthe Intereatof all that the barriers to Its ownership and enjoyment should bo completely done away with.— Boston Journo*. The Boston Post very pertinently re marks that by parity of reasoning there is property enough at thS North for all, and it may yet be seen that it is for the Interest of. all that the barriers to its ownership and enjoyment should be completely done away with. How does this suit ? People may find the chalice they tender to other lips pressed to their own, however disastefal to them selves their own concoction.

A more complete jumble of uu-* grammatical nonsense perhaps never appeared in the same number of sen tences. For the honor of the profession we hope to see no more of these violent assaults upon the English language.— For the purpose of showing the Herald's diction, we copy a few sentences from Ita columns, viz: "Really this 1b a fast ago. Wo call upon our* friends of the Volunteer to liurry up, oven if they do believe with from the nigger, ho is Justus good as any other Democrat.” “ What does the fellow mean?” asked a friend after reading the above. W e have no idea—not the least. Such con summate nonsense really means noth ing- 1 Again, the Herald says: ’ "The New York World and the Washington De mocracy seem to be distancing our county Cops. In claiming to love the negro. It will come at mat. Our" Niwby” -that, If you take away, the smell old citizens can well remember, when the negroes voted in our midst and they too can re member the fact that it was only the most re spectable of them who voted the Whig ticket, while the trashy pari trained wltli the Democra cy.” • The above paragraph, we “rather guess,” must bo good Radical language, being a kind of salmagundi, composed .of equal parts of the Ethiopian and Kickapoo dialects. The sarcastic part, we suspect, is intended to bo terrific.— We are sox-ry we are unable to translate the whole sentence, for, in pure English, it might prove very entertaining to our “ county Cops.” Again, says the Herald; " However, since the negroes have advanced to a higher level than they held at that time, we are of the opinion that It will require a very great deal of " evil commuuicatious‘uud bad whiskey to get them vote as the V'oluntcci’ and ita friends would wish them.” Wo suppose so. The negroes associ ate with those they love best, and as theßadicals are the advocates of “ equal ity of the races,” we presume the-negroes will sympathize and vote with the Her ald men. As to the “ evil communica tions and bad whiskey,” Mr. Nig will get enough of both as soon as he joins the Radical faction. Once more says the Herald .- It Is trno that the editor of tills paper lias a brother in the civil service of tho United Slates and It Is also true that his services in tho army during the rebellion, and since to the Depart ment in which beholds his position,are so es teemed by those having authority in those mal lei s, that the efforts of the Volunteer'a friends to have him removed have resulted In his promo tion. If this Is a sufficient renson why we should make a salaam when the name of Moses tho BTTOciB-monuonca, our- ooay snrui Hencejortn pcrjretuaily maintain tho position of a right Wo are very glad to hear that the Herald man’s brother has been retained in the civil service; he is a worthy young man, and deserves all he gets.— But is it not. rather unkind in the Rlieems here at home, after having so liclted-our aid to prevent the removal of the ySung man in question, to now intimate that we desired “ to have him removed?” It. is nothing more than we expected, however, and perhaps we have no right to complain of this in gratitude. One more extract and the last from the Herald “Down on your knees,(editors of Volunteer,) and hide forever your diminished heads, lest tho groat axe should he unswnug for your decapita tion,” Piddlefaddle. Are you not aware, Mr. Herald , that Democrats never “ down on their knees” to anything hu man? ' You talk about “ pregnant hin ges;” indeed! Was not the aid of the Herald offered to the administration of “ Moses the great,” provided another Rheem.was permitted to enjoy the emoluments of a fat office? We have no desire to letT cats out of bags, but some men had better keep as quiet as possible about “pregnant hinges.” A Satrap Threatens the “ Pet Lambs.”— The negroes of New Orleans attempted to got up another riot a few days ago. Some three thousand oi them, armed with guns, axes, clubs, &c., paraded the streets, knocking down eve ry white man they mot, and threaten ing to “eonAscato the city.” General Mower, who is one of the military sa traps, mounted a store box and address ed the negro rioters as follows: . “ If you feci yourselves wronged you must ap ply to the proper authorities for redress, and you uiiall have It; but if you take this thing Into your own hands you may lose what rights you already possess. If you go on with this Noting, by the eternal God I will throw grape and canister Into you. Now disperse and go to your homes or to your work, or I will hang the half your number before sun-down.” That was a little rough on the “ pet lambs,” but it had the desired effect.— They dispersed, but as they did so, many of them shook their Asts at the General who had addressed them. It seems then that the standing army Is required for the protection of the whites and not to protect the “ freedmen,” ns the Rad icals said would be necessary. Circulate the Papers.— The time hasarrlved when every Democrat should select one of his Republican friends and try to makja a Democratic voter of him. The sins of the party in power are fla grant, . and leaders are accusing each other of so many crimes, that all good men will want to leave it. There Is a great deal of good that can be done now by circulating Democratic papers. The Radicals have forfeited all claims to a further control of the government, and and all that is now. necessary to prove this to the misguided masses, is the cir culation of the facts : through the peo ple’s medium, the press.

Grant’s Star Going' Dairn, The Anti-Slavery Standard contains a charge upon Gen. Grant’s private char acter too gross to be printed In any de cent newspaper. It copies from ah ob scure Radical newspaper in M issouri.— Other -Radical organs have lately open ed their batteries upon the General, so that it is becoming more clear every day that ho is not to be the Radical candi date for President in 1868. Since the sa trap bill has gone into operation so qui etly,; the leaders believe that they com mand the situation and have no need of Grant’s • military reputation to secure votes. Hence Wade, Sumner, Chase, Colfax, and other demagogues, even down to the “ tail end’’ of the corrhpt thing—the old Winnebago—have been mentioned in connection with the presi dential nomination. The dropping of Grant’s name from the “mast-heads” of several Radical papers of this State, lately, is also indicative of a change of sentiment in regard to the “great, cap tain,” if not (as suggested multi tude of soldier rejections o‘f the late Rump) against soldiers in general. It seems quite certain that Grant has never thoroughly sympathized with the infa mous Radical schemes of plunder and tyranny. Beecher on the “ flump.” The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, in a sermon preached bn the 14th of April, thus gives his opinion of Congressional' and Lcxrlalati ve corruntion. Coming', «« it does, from the ablest of “ Di vines, its truth cannot. be doubted by the most skeptical. He says: . £ho men at Washington and Albany [he mlglw have added Harrisburg] Bold their coun try j they sold their humanity and their honoi. and the trusts lhat wore put upon them by their constituents; they were debnuchors of the young; they were the traitor*; they that lifted the •swoid were not half so much traitors; they'that despoiled the old banner and trod,lt under foot they that llrsd upon the Government of thb Uni ted States Were not half so much traltorb os those vermin who are crawling under the foundations and destroying by corruption the Vital power of the Government/' He is rather severe on his own party friends, no doubt '; but as he is supposed to know more of the secret workings of ‘those “ corrupt and treasonable” bodies, and aa he is a professed minister of', the gospel, we cannot doubt the truthfulness of his assertion. Mr. Beecher is certain ly good authority in the case, and pshis remarks so. closely tally with .what the Democracy have all along been warn ing the people of, we have no doubt he he will hereafter be called a “ Copper head.” That is about the only argu ment Radicalism can use to overcome an honest expression from a leading member of its own party. Gen. BuTi.Eßhasset the Radical press at loggerheads by. raising, the question of the responsibility of the execution of Mrs. Surratt. Thus the. Boston Cum-, monwealth says: “ Perhaps It would have been well It Gen. But lf»r had not said whatbe did of Mrs. Surratt. But More are thousand* of thoughtful people .who think he was right.- Mr.Blngnamdidpiirsueher like a blood-bound.*' , To which the Springfield (Mass.) Re publican responds: . Not at all. If there wore any blood-hdUnds in the hunt, they were Stanton and Holt; set on. too. wo fear, by many Northern neple and papers, of which latter, too, we suspect the Commomvealth was one.” . This is not the first time that men equally guilty have turned State’s evir dence against each other. iTmustbe humiliating to the Republi can newspapers to be compelled upon the adjournment of every Republican Legislature to acknowledge that it was the most corrupt and extravagant]body that ever existed; They have been obliged to do so annually for the past six years, and yet the people will go and do just the same thing over—reelect the same men and the same party to the same positions.

Thomas writes from Louisville; “AH classes of citizens (In certain portions of, Alabama,) are alike destitute, the rich as well as the poor, and both must starve unless provis ions are sent them!” Governor Orr, of South Carolina, writes: “To subsist our population until the Ist of July, at least one hundred thousand bushels of corn will be required for gratuitous distribu tion.” Rev. William Martin, of Colum bia, S. C., writes: "On the very worst days of the recent severe .weather I have, seen scores of women, scantily covered with rags, wan and pale from starvation, walk twenty miles, aud gratefully receive half a bushel of corn and carry it home on their heads to their starving children.” A prominent citizen of the South writes to the Philadelphia Commission: “ With all the aid we may receive In this State many will perish before ct crop can be gathered.. It is heartrending to hear the pressing appeals for food from a large portion of the people ol this district.” Rev. J. O. Lindsay, South Carolina, writes: “ Four hundred families of the Abueville District, South Carolina, need help, and live thousand bushels of com would be for tbeima very meagre supply.” J. K. Witherspoon, Esq., of Camden, S. C., writes : “In my own neighborhood, I know several gray-haired Christian pilgrims who are from hunger hurrying, on to the,tomb, not knowing: what It Is to say ‘I have enough to eat!’” Governor Jenkins, of Georgia; says': “Sixty thou sand whites and thirty thousand blacks will require aid' until next September— Georgia will need all the food that can he furnished by the generous kindness of the citizens of theotherStates.” Gov ernor Patton, of Alabama, writes;: Thou-: sands of our people, before the war in comfortable and independent circumstan ces, are reduced to extreme poverty, and want.. We can supply not one-third of the actual necessities of the poor.” ;A cler gyman from Virginia has Informed one of the members of this Committee that in addition to the many evldences.of des titution ut the South which came under his personal observation, lie has, since Ills arrival ut the North, received direct aud reliable information of the death from starvation of two young ladles in Georgia. In response to this pitiful oryof distress, and famine—a cry which never before was heard from the lips of American citizens —movements looking to the relief of the suffering South have been initiated in many of the Northern cities and towns.— A “SouthernFamlne ReliefCoraralssion” has been organized in Philadelphia, and (he undersigned have been designated os a co-operative Executive Committee for Cumberland county. We appeal to our fellow citizens of this wealthy and pros perous county, for aid in this noble'chari ty, in the conUdeu t belief that their Chris tian philanthropy will prove'second to that of no other section of the country.— These supplies are designed for the starv ing people of the South, irrespective of sb cial, political or religious distinctions, for in the presence of a great calamity such as this all such distinctions sink into insig-' nifluance. Whatever may have been the causes which have led to tills great desti tution, it should'be enough for us to know that thousands of our fellow-country men,’ and women, and thousands of innocent and helpless children , are threatened with actual starvation. The heart which Tails to respond to such a call is destitute of hu man sympathy. In the names of the gentlemen at the bead of the Philadelphia Commission we i,.. twu.rv uiiin-uoitiui that our nontrlbu* tlons will be faithfully and Impartially distributed. The pressing necessities of those in want admit of no delay ; and at a recent meeting of the Committee, it was resolved that the Reverend Clergy of the county be earnestly requested to bring this matter before their Congregations as soon as practicable,and to liftacolleotlon for the relief of the suffering South, on Sunday, June 2d, or at an earlier day if expedient.

By his intemperate remarks and insult ing bravado lie urged bis listeners beyond the point of forbearance, and violence fol lowed, which terminated In the death of innocent parties, while the instigator sought the shelter of his hotel, iguarded !by government bayonets. Thusiscousu-, mated what was generally predicted, and ; probably designedly the Radicals, as the consequences of the work of.self constitu ted Northern .political missionaries who went forth under pretense of teaching the South peace and loyalty I , The effrontery ofythese demagogues in going among a people deprived of their civil rights and property, held down by mllltaty.law, suf fering the pangs of starvation, and taunt ing them with their misdeeds and mock ing at their calamaties, is as repreheusi-' ble as any tiling cowardice ooulcf conceive or party hacks perlorm. The, ready sub mission of tne South to the reconstruction laws of Congress surpassed all .expecta tion, and’ the work was advancing throughout the South without hesitation. The citizens of .different classes were fast adapting themselves to.the riew-ofder of things; the blacks apd whites were fast faurmonlziug.in their social' and civil re lations, and the restoration bf good order and fidelity to ttib general go verbment 'was.unobstructed. At such’a : moment, extreme party men—not men distinguish-' ed for patriotism or anypromihehf virtue, public or domestic—not men of consistent political hollon—not men who had risked anything to defend the government when It was assailed, but mere party deolalmers and leeches, thrust themselves anon the Bouth as Us dictators, ofiensively demand ing BocqUiescehce in tbelrwlll and threat eningproscriptiou, confiscation aspunlsli ments for nonconformity. What'but re- : distance and violence could reult from such proceedings among civilized people with one drop of American blood in their veins? And was uot this the aim at the start, to sting to violent deeds and' then summon those deeds os evidence of the necessity of continued subjugation, post ponement bf the peace of the country and of the restoration of the Union? We be lieve snob persons us Kelley and hisßadl 'associates are’ devilish enough , for any aueh’dfesigh and. reckles. enough to at tempt HtS success. If! the Ameribhn-peo ple arbsofar lulove with such apostles as to sustain them’ at’ the expense w the burdens "they-Impose' upon the nation olvily and pecuniarily, tben we may as well all "cry havoc, and let slip the dbgs of War.” Strife and taxes, arbitrary gtW ernraont and the -subversion of ■ evbry principle of true republlaanlsm! will *be thefiostbf theoouteat,—; XmOEBWOOD. /The “iato-lamented" had a peculiar .penchant fo# manufacturing Brigadier .

They are first class artlstes.'and confine themselves to the staudard drama. We regret to say that they have not been encouraged as they should have been, and we trust the community will give them one or two crowded houses before their departure,— They will remain no longer than Friday evening. Their opening performance was Lon don Assurance, and we say it boldly,'fy better performance was never given In, this place. Every character in this splen did and high'comedy was perfectly ren dered. Mr. McKean Buchanan’s rendi tion of dir Harcourt Courtly is beyond criticism, it is a magnificent piece of not ing the result of many years careful study. Every look, gesture and motion were perfect., In this character ho certainly stands unrivalled in America. The oth er characters were faultless and there was a careful attention to minute details of the piece that would put to shame many of our large Metropolitan theatres. On Tuesday evening we had an oppor tunity of seeing a display of the Tragic talent of the Company in the perform ance of Shakspeare’s grand Tragedy enti tled Maoheth. The same dose attention to the words of the great an thor—the same careful and finished acting and magnifi cent costuming wore visible in this per formance. Their performances are like the movements of a delicate piece of ma chinery. Mr. Buchanan astonished and delighted his audience with his finished acting in the great character of Macbeth, and proved himself to be one of the great est Tragedians now ,living. The other characters were very'finely given and the .performance of this intricate Tragedy up on our little stage was wonderful. On Thursday evening, by request of a large number of our citizens who weie prevented by the bad weatberof Monday night from witnessing it, London Assur ance will be repeated. We feel sure this announcement will draw a crowded house, particularly as this will ; be the .benefit df.Mr. Buchanan, andbeneflts are understood to be complimentary testimo nials to an actor’s talents', upon' which occasions everybody turns out.V ■ On Friday afternoon, commencing nt 2; o'clock, there wiil.be a grand matinee per formance glven"at reduced' prices' of ad mission.
