JOHN BELL: Whether Hon. John Bell yet possesses any influence at, the South, or not, we have no means of knowing. He once stood very high in the estimation of the Southern people. But before the war he bad lost it in a great measure, and his course during the war was not such as to win him a great amount of respect. But the changes produced by the sup pression of the rebellion and the extinc tion of 'slavery must have operated upon men's opinions respecting public char acters, and Mr. Bell's age, experience and undoubted ability ought to com mand a large share of popular respect. We are, therefore, glad to find that he has begun to print in the Louisville Journal a series of letters on national affairs and the reconstruction of the States lately in rebellion. Mr. Bell takes a position between the extremists of the North and those of the South. He condemns "the revengeful policy" of Mr. Sumner; but he also con demns the refusal of Mississippi to adopt the second clause of the Constitutional amendment abolishing slavery. He exhorts the Southern States to comply promptly with all the requisitions of President Johnson. In regard to negro suffrage, he thinks that if a free colored man owned a freehold of .$2.50, and pos sessed the ability to read and write, it would not be dangerous to allow him to vote. He also thinks that granting to negroes the right to testify in all cases would not be attended with the incon venience or disadvantage that is gene rally apprehended. He takes a dismal view of the future of the negro race in the South, and predicts that they will rapidly become extinct. The mass of them, he says, "are doomed to perish before arriving at the average period of old age common to the race. Of the four millions recently freed in the South,how many have already perished by disease or the vices to which they are exposed? We shall probably never know the ex tent of the mortality since the commence went of the war. We may reasonably conjecture that within the next decade, or ten years, two and a half millions will have perished, and in the next succeed ing decade, not more than half a million will survive!" He adds: "When all is done that can be done to mitigate the condition of the African race in the South, it is melancholy to reflect that a small remnant only will survive the present generation." In this belief we do not agree. If the people of the South choose to foster and protect the negroes and to encourage them to industry and education,they will live and sper as well as the whites. But if they continue to despise them, to deny them their rights as human beings, to refuse to give them fair wages for their work, and thus keep them debased, poor and ignorant, of course they will die out. The only way, therefore, to preserve them and have their labor use fully employed in developing the wealth of the South, is to give them their rights as men and enable them to compete with white labor and receive equally good wages for an equal amount of work. But Mr. Bell denies that the black has equal rights, and his theory of the rapid ex tinction of the race will probably be ful filled if his views are adopted and persisted in' by the South. Mr. Bell promises other letters than that which we have been considering, and we hope as he advances he will begin to take a more healthy and cheerful view of affairs. FIRE PL UGS There is much anxiety expressed by many of our citizens in reference ,to the alleged neglect of the Water Department to protect the fire plugs from the effects of the cold weather. The fear of des tructive fires occurring without a supply of water at command is a very natural one, and we have therefore been at some pains to ascertain whether the fears that have been expressed are well founded. We find, as the result of our investiga tion, that there has not only been no neglect of this important branch of pub lic duty, but that the subject of protect ing the city from disastrous fires engages the constant attention of the ;Water De partment. In accomplishing this result, many practical difficulties are encoun tered. The old system of packing with hay or straw has been abandoned, as experience has proved that it increased, instead of diminished, the liability to freeze. The leakage from the streets and the frequent overflow of obstructed gut ters in winter soon'reduces the straw to a frozen mass around the stand-pipe of the plug, and whatever water remains in the bottom of the pipe is frozen and so preserved by the very means adopted to prevent it. The plan now in practice is to keep up a- constant supor vision of the three or fok thonsand plugs of the.Departinent by: merriletailod fOr that duty, and to thaw'out any that may, be found frozen by 'means of salt. This supervision, we are assured' is vigi lantly exercised, and is extended toan examination'of all plugs used at any fire, in order to see that they are left in' good order by the Fire Depariinent. k , The greatest danger from froken _fire plugs is in those cases, becoming rapidly more numerous, where the , plugs are located in open vaults, over which the Water Department has no Control. The stand-pipe, in these cases, is entirely ex posed to the action of the frost; and is almost sure to be frozen. The disastrous fire at Hart's Building, some years ago, resulted from this cause. The Water Department has an ordinance now before Councils compelling property owners to protect such plugs as pass through their vaults and making them responsible for the consequences in case of freezing. There is, of course, a possibility that, after all precautions have been takeni a fire-ping may be frozen in extreme wea ther. But the old fashion of dashing the case.to pieces with axes and build ing a fire around it, nearly as big as the one it is expected to extinguish, is worse than absurd. There are few localities where hot water or salt cannot be promptly obtained; and as they can be applied directly to the frozen part of the pipe,they are altogether more efficacious than the slow process of conducting heat through four or five feet of cold iron. We are always glad to see a disposition to hold our public servants to a rigid account for the discharge of their duties, and we are sorry to say that such inves tigations rarely result satisfactorily; but we are satisfied that the Water Depart ment,with its extended and most import ant responsibilities, is ably managed by its present intelligent and upright Chief Engineer, and we think that our citi zens may rest assured that their pro perty is as safe in his hands as human ingenuity and fidelity can make it. THE OPERA An operatic season of unusual success closed on Saturday evening at the Phila delphia Academy of Music. In the short space of twelve days, there were fourteen performances, one each night and two in the day time. This was taxing the energies of opera goers considerably; for Philadelphia is a city where places of amusement are filled chiefly by , resi dents, receiving but limited numbers from strangers. The opera-going public is but a small proportion of the commu nity, and hundreds of the same faces are seen at every performance of an opera. So, during the late short season, all other entertainments, private and public, were given up by them, and they went faithfully every night to the Academy. The audiences were good every night, and on some occasions they were extra ordinarily large, although the prices of admission were higher than usual, and the cost of ladies' opera attire consider ably above what it has been in former seasons. If this does not show that there is a disposition to sustain the opera in Phila delphia, nothing can show it. But it is not fair to tax this disposition so severely. Four nights of opera in a week are all that they have in New York and in most of the European capitals. More than this ought not to be exacted of Philadelphia. With this number, there might be a season extending through a couple of months, or one season of a month in January, and an other after Easter, which would be liberally supported. But the managers of opera companies say that they must crowd as many performances into a week as possible, so as to pay expenses. Their artists, choristers, instrumental players, and other employs are paid by the month. The cost of traveling and board ing is heavy, and salaries have to be in proportion. They must, therefore,give frequent performances, even if, on some occasions, the profits should be small. There is considerable reason in this argument, particularly when the risks of stormy weather or other circum stances to prevent large audiences are considered. The only mode of reme dying the difficulty is by making the expense of maintaining a company less heavy than it is ; and the only way to do this is to organize, in connection with the Academy of Music, a school for vocal and instrumental musicians, so that a permanent chorus and orchestra may be maintained. Competent pro fessional teachers cou'd be engaged at a moderate annual expense; the pupils could be taught either for a moderate charge, or gratuitOusly, with the condi tion that for a certain period after they are competent singers or players, they should give their services at the public performances of the Academy. They would:thus, at a trifling cost, obtain a musical education which would be valu able to them through life, and with this inducement the classes could 'be constantly kept filled with new recruits. The graduates whci had the proper amount of natural talent would also have opportunities of rapid advance ment in their musical profession. That there is material here for main taining such classes has been repeatedly demonstrated, but never so satisfactorily as in the spring of 1861, when Mr. Fry's Notre Dame of Paris was produced, at the Academy of Music. In the short space of two or three weeks, a chorus of about one hundred good voices was eol lected and fully instructed in the opera, and weall remember well that so .gdod an opera chorus has never been heard in Philadelphia,before or since. The gOod musical material thus continually, run ning to waste in Philadelphia, might;be kept constantly in good organization LY EVENING BULLETIN : P THE DA and inning; if ' , the • Directors of. the Asadem'y of Music would undertake it; and they would find advantage ill it, in Always ha+ing a chorus and orchestra at their, service;so that there could be little expense, except for the , principal artists. In addition to this, a well-supplied wardrobe for the choristers, and.. a mu sical library, containing the orchestral scores of all the successful operas, might be obtained at no very heavy expense. When these,things are done, then the Academy of Music will begin to perform its proper mission; then we may hope to have the opera cheaper than we can have it now, and to have the erform ances to suit the convenience Of the corn— munity.- Now we are - at the mercy. of managers, who bring their companies here only when it suits them oto leave New York, and who crowdthe perform ances in such away that it is difficult to attend them all. Will not some of the Directors or stockholders of the Aca,- demy undertake a progressive move ment in the direction we have indicated? Ms. WOLFSONWS BEETHOVEN;•` KATI NEES.-Mr. Wolfsohn gave his third matinee yesterday afternoon; presenting the follow ing programme Sonata-C major, op. 2, No. 8.-Allegro con brlo- Adagio-A llegro !Scherzo-Allegro asstd.. Sonata-C minor, op. 10, No. 1.-Allegro motto e con brio-Adagio molto-Prestissimo. Sonata-E flat, major, op.Bl No. 8.-Allegro-Scherzo -A llegretto 'vivac&-hienuetto 'Moderato e grazioso-, Presto con lbw. We are glad for the sake of our reputa tion as an art-encouraging community that we are permitted to state that there was, on this occasion, no diminuation in the satis factorily large attendance that has hitherto greeted the performer; though we see no adequate reason why the remaining vacant chairs in the Foyer, of which there were yesterday a dozen or more, might not all be occupied, and the full complement of success thus attained by Mr. Wolfsohn. At the next matinee,on Monday, January 29th, Mr: Wolfsohn promises the presence of Mad. Fanny Raymond Ritter, of New York, who is favorably spoken of by com petent critics as an interpreter of classical music, and who will add to the interest of the entertainment by tier singing of arias of Handel and Gluck and songs of Liszt and Schumann. TEE FIRST NATIONAL BANE, 01 this city, as will be seen by an advertisement, is to be removed this evening, temporarily, to No. 305 Chestnut street. This is rendered necessary by the contemplated demolition of their present quarters, on the site of which a splendid banking house will be erected with as much rapidity its possible. A CONCERT cf a very attractive character will be given at the Musical Fund Hall on Saturday evening by Mr. I. L. Rice, the talented young pianist. He will be assisted by Messrs. Jacob Graf, Joseph Jacob, Wm. Stoll, Carl Roese, and the Siengerbund, led by Mr. E. Wollsieffer. The programme is very attractive. PROFESSOR R. E. Rooms will deliver his lecture, called "A Glance at the World we Live in," at the Academy of Music this evening. A synopsis of it will be found in our advertising columns.

The Directors of the Franklin Silver Mining Com pany invite investments in no doubtful enterprise. They have secured two mines of ascertained richness, in Big Creek Mining District, Lander County .Neva situated but one and a half miles from Canon City,and spout ten miles from Austin. Their ledges are of great width, rich in surface indl dlcatlona, and at a depth of only sixty feet, the con tinuation of their property, yielded ore that paid 2215 Der ton, worked by the rudest method, For one-ball interest in a location adjoining the "Custom House" Ledge upon the same vein of ore, an offer of .150,000 in win was refused. This "Custom Reuse" Ledge, of which 2,000 feet be longs to this Company, Is exceedingly rich and so lo cated Coat a tunnel 200 feet in length will strike the - ledge at a depth of MO feet below its out crop. Longer tunnels will strike the ledgeatproportionately greater depths_ Work upon this tunnel Is being prosecuted with the utmost vigor. It can be continued all winter, and rich "pay-rock" will be ready at an early day for re duction at the mills, already located at a short dis tance, and favorable arrangements are already made for crushing the ores of the Company until such thee • as their own works are erected. The "Price Current" Lelge of 2,000 !bee In length is located upon the opposite aide of the same Canon an. the ledge already described, It is about 8 feet in width, with well defined casings, crops out nearly its whole length, and crossing the summit of the ridge which divides Perkins' Canon from Brooks'Canon,it presents favorable conditions for development from either val— ley. A suitable description of these properties cannot be given in a few words; full information may be obtained at the Office of the Company. The advantages of a choice among many good loca tions have been 'secured by the personal inspection of a representative of the Company, of practical mining experience. From his detailed reports, the Company are assured of the great value and richness of their property, and arrangement are made for prosecuting, the business with vigor, economy and despatch. •Twenty-Five Thousand Shares of the Stock of the- Company will be sold on account of Working Capital..
