"Watson's Annals of Philadelphia" must of
necessity always be considered a standard work ,
among the people of the city founded by
William Penn. It may have and doubtless does
have some defects, but with all its imperfections
it supplies the want which Evelyn and "Old
Pepys" supplied in the London of past days.
Graydon wrote intelligently and well, but his
field of observation in Philadelphia society was
limited. Dr. Meese drew an interesting picture
of Philadelphia as it was in 1811, but his work
was rather statistical than general, and the
author confined himself to a description of the
city and its institutions, as they were at the time
at which he wrote. The venerable Samuel
Hazard has collected together much valuable
material concerning the city, and his
Register, Pennsylvania Archives and
Colonial Records will be rich mines for the fu
ture local historian to delve in. But Mr. Wat
son is the only local general annalist who has
given us a comprehensive view of the rise and
progress of the city from its feeble commence
ment in 1682 to the period in which he wrote.
His work is frequently gossiping and always read
able, and although at times we may be skeptical
as to the exact critical : correctness of the details
furnished by the author, the intelligent reader
always feels that he has received a truthful
general Impression of the city; its society, Its
customt6nd Its peculiarities, as they were from
the time when William Penn landed at the. Blue
Anchor tavern, at the mouth of Dock Creek,
down almost to ouiown days. For several years
Watson's Annals have been out of print, and the
only copies to be found were upon theshelves
of public, or private libraries. Since their*
edition of the work was published a new gene-
Of:Pltiladelphiana has arisen, and tens of
;thcinsande of ,vigorous minds ask for enlighten
meta colteerningl'the'*early history of 'this great
city, of, nearly eight , hitt:ired'thousand souls.

nut this evening Mr. John Brougham will appear, on
;he occasion of his benefit, in his sensational drama of
The Lottery of Life. The Arch announces Surf for

Monday Rosedale will be produced. The American
offers its usual diversified performance to-night.
Mae. LAl:Dlr.—On Monday evening next this ac
complished actress will appear at the Academy of
Music in her famous personation of "Elizabeth." It
was in this city that Mrs. Lander first obtained that
ecognition of her great ability which has since become
general throughout the country. Now that she has
returned from what has been in fact a triumphal tour,
•be deserves at the hands of our people as cordial
eeption. There has been a very active demand for
ickets, and there is little doubt that Mrs. Ltuider.will
have crowded houses. t
PHILADELPHIA OPERA Homix.—The great dioramic
and panoramic exhibition at this popular place of
amusement drew crowded houses every • night last

evening than at Messrs. Twilson & Co.'s charming
little theatre.
Illtmvswra &run. OPER& Houss.—Messrs. Cam
cross & Macy announce a burlesque on Surf this week,
and, if report speaks truly, It is one of the raciest,most
laughable and beat things of the kind ever produced at
this establishment. The text Is by Craig, the accom
plished comedian of the Arch Street Theatre Company,
and it consequently cannot fail to be good. It will be
produced with tine scenic effects, and we predict for it
a prolonged run.
LANDS TO THE NORTH or accordance with
the earnest request of a large number of our most pro
minentcitizens, Mr. George Alfred Townsend, well
known as a graphic descriptive writer, will deliver his
lecture upon the above theme at Concert Hall, on

pleasing speaker and he is thoroughly conversant with
his subject, which is treated in that graceful and pleas.
lug manner . for which he is so remarkable. We sin

A Complaint.
To the Editor of the Evening Bulletin:-Permit
me to call attention to an act of injustice in con
nection with Mr. Henry Vincent's Lecture, on
Tuesday last, before the Young Men's Christian
Association, at Concert Hall, in the hope that
this notice and condemnation may prevent its
repetition. The advertisement announcing the
lecture was silent as to the amount of unre
served seats, and persons, after buying their
tickets and reaching the hall, were surprised
to find that the gallery and eigh t
small benches immediately under lt,holdingfiftg
psrvita4, embraced the total number of unre
served seats; but they were more surprised to
Lind that, after having had these eight benches
pointed out to them as unreserved, and upon
which there were no tickets with the word
"taken," yet some of those who occupied them
were compelled to relinquish them, add either to
stand or go to the door and buy a reserved seat.
To be sure, after the lecturer had begun, it was a
satisfaction to sec some of the ladies who had oc
cupied theselowest seats ushered by those in
charge to the•cboicest seats in the house, which,
although reserved, were still vacant.
We do not charge the eminent lecturer nor the
responsible heads of this excellent Institution
with any knowledge ,of this injustice—and if
done by any one in-tobnection with the Associa
tion. it was doubtleiti - done under the belief that
•he more money raised for a good cause the
better. 0. K.

SHOCKING MURDER IN LOUISVILLE
`The-Work of the Green-Eyed Monster
(Stara the Louisville Courier. Nov. =3
About eight o'clock last night horrible tragedy oc
curred at a house, on the disreputable street known ste
Marshall, between Preston and Jackson. The particulars,
as far as we could learn them from those in the immediate
vicinity, are as follows:
A young man turned Joshua Drake has for some time
past been living in an Illegitimate manner with Ann
Brown. It appears that some real or imaginary
cause instigated a deadly feeling of Jealousy m the
bosom of Drake, and be resolved to take the life
of the woman. Last night, at the hour above stated, he
called at the house, and i
nvited her to accompany im
to her room. She complied with his • request, little
fearing his terrible purpose. After they got in the
room Drake locked the doer, and turning to Ann
Brown, told her to kneel and offer up her last
prayer to Almiehty God in co m enues, for her
'Um° to quit this world had The affiighted
woman feeling convinced of his horrible intention,
made a frantic effort to reach the door, at the. same time
crying...murder:" at the top of her voice. The villain
drew his knife and commenced cutting her in a manner
n bleh leaves but little room for doubt that he Intended
to literallyunt her to pieces. A party of Men in the front
room, bearing her screams, rushed to the door and suc
ceeded in bursting it open when Drake rushed out with
his knife in hand. dripping with the blood of Ids vic
tim. In the confusion of the moment he made his escape.
from Dr. Keller, who was called in to attend the unfor
tunate woman, we learn that she was cut sixteen times

The Opening Fall Exhibition of the
Legal 'Barbarities at hi ewca.stles
[From the Wilmington Commercial.] '
The session of the semiannual whippings having re
turned, we are able to give our readers a faithful report
of the manner in which the laws of our State visit ven
geance on the heads, or rather the backs, of offenders.
I m Saturday wo visited Newcastle for the purpose of
seeing and describing the spectacle. When we MIA entered
the jail yard a young man was undergoing the punish meat
of pillory. Standing'cn a platform which is appropri.
ately supported by its twin relic of barbariam, the whip
ping-post, was George Hall, a young man, well droned
and pleasant looking, who had been convicted of forgery.
his head and hands were thrust through the holes in the
plank. and he stood thus for one hour. and was then taken
to hie cell for three months ofeolitary condnement. Four,
we were informed. had stood In the pillory before
Hall on that morning. The pillory seems to have
lost its attractions for spectators, and except a few
children, the yard was comparatively empty. As it
sas understood that as soon as Hall was taken
down the whipping wonld continence, a crowd seen com
menced to gm her. The crowd was composed of a great
variety of elements. There were some witnesses in cages
being tied, and others' casual visitors from adjoining
'states, who dropped in out of curiosity, and in a low tone
whisper, d to each other their indignation against such a
brutal punishment. There were respectable looking far
mere and young men; many of the latter seemed to
really look forward with impatience as a treat to
the coming's` affair. There were old men. who,
with pleasing reminiscences of former exhibitions,
chatted with other old fellows, and said they didn't whip
now as they used to, and then, with ardent rolled: would
relate bow they remembered when Sheriff so-and-so "did
sling it into them," how he "brought the blood at every
lick," dtc. But the saddest thing about the crowd was
the multitude of children there, both boys and girls, who
came for the "fun." 1 here were little boys and girls
there. and many of them too tinder six years of age, and •
these seemed to enjoy the spectacle aa much as any.
THE VICTLYB.
At about Ll 5 o'clock the first victim was brought out -
ho was a colored boy, about 18, and had been convicted of
&Benoit and battery, with intent to cornmit a further out
rage, on the person of a white girL His name was Alfred
Howard; He had a sort of ashy hue, induced by fear, as
he naturally expected, on account of the character of his
offence, to be severely flogged. lib wrists were fastened
to the post, and one could see by the working of hie
muscles, and his close set teeth, that he nad nerved him
self to stand the ordeal. His sentence was thirty lashes,
and they vs ere, in the language of the law, "well laid on"
his bare back, but the involuntary ebrinking with each
blow was the only sign he gave of the blow. The second
victim was Edward slmith, another colored boy, who re.
ceived twenty lathes for stealing a pair of boots. Though
you could eee his muscles working with the pain, be made
no outcry, and ran off with a forced laugh to the jail. The
prisoners nearly all seem to make it a point to give no
sign of pain, and as far an possible to pretend that they
are not hurt. The next was a small colored boy, who
had to stand on a block to nut, his hands in the links.
Ho was very frail looking, physically , and the Sheriff
struck him very lightly, and could not have hurt hint
much. He received twenty lashes for some theft. The
next two were Samuel Golden, a black man, and Henry
Davis, a bright mulatto, who had been convicted of deal
ing corn, and received twenty, lashes each,, The lane,
whose light-colored akin showed the red welts produced
by the whip more pplainly than did those of a darker lute,
stood it well; the Dent winced and moaned co,,siderahly.
The next victim wan Charles Scott, a tall colored man,
who had been convicted of stealing a horse and bridle,
and sentenced to receive forty lashes. He is a man
said to have previously borne a good character, and
he persistently asserts that ho received the property from
another man. not knowing it was stolen. He evidently
had nerved himself for the punishment, but the muscular
contraction was great, and beads of perspiration rolled
does n hie naked body during the whipping. 'The next vic
tim was a white boy named James Nugent, who had con.' '
feeeed to the stealing of some, clothing, and received ton
lashes. He stood it well, making no outcry. The next
was John Fitz Simmons, an Irishman. tie made a re
mit, k le ben being fastened to the post : "You can't
hang mo anyhow." Ho seemed unprepared for the first
stroke. and looked around with a start. He had robbed a
boarding-house, and received twenty lashes. 'Fhe
rustics of the lash showed very plainly on hie white akin,
and his taco twitched convulaively. Ho cried and
moaned considerably. White men, it is said,
never stand it as stilidly as the black. Joseph
Riggs, another white man, quite young, con.
vieted of stealing clothes, jewelry, &0., next received
twenty lashes. His back was deeply marked, but he
stood it bravely and like one of the colored men,
went off to jail with a forced e laugh. The next. and for
that day the last, vi. tint' was , Wm. Mayor, a tall young
Gelman, convicted of stealing some goods at Middletown.
Be 'mama more humiliated than any of MO others, and,.
as soon as taken to tbe poet, hung down his head and '
commenced weeping. bittoily. He made, no outcry,but,
showed by his facial evntortions and the shrinking of
his body the physical pain he suffered. Ile. received
twenty lashes, which , pitttwed,,veti plainly en his clear,
white elan,

MISSANNIPPI
A Startling Nvent —Armed Negroes
March Into a Mississipa Town and
Demand Dread.
[From the Memphis Avalanche, 214.1
For HOMO time a great deal of dimattsfaction has existed
among the freedmen in the neighborhood of Columbus,
Mississippi. They had quit work, and left the fields
white with cotton, and would not pluck a boll, the reason
given for Ruch action being that their share of the crop
would net pay their expenses for the year,
owing to the tax en the staple and the low price
to which it had fallen. As aeon as they refined-to work,
as a matter of course they had to leave the plantation
and give up their houses 4.e other laborers who would
work. They then took to the woods, and commenced a
system of indiscriminate pilfering and stock-killing.
About two hundred of them have been assembled in the
neighborhood of Columbus, Mississippi, since the begin
ning of the election, and had become & perfect nuisance
and terror to the neighborhood.
At the request et the citizens a company of United Staten
troops have been stationed at Columbus for When this
of the lives and property of the people. When this band
of vagabondized negroes had exhausted the country of
everything which was stealable, they determined to make
a raid upon the town of Columbus in full force. They
were all armed, and, procuring a life and drum, they
searched into the town, demanding bread. Not one of
them asked for work; they did not want that. Bread
was all their cry, and they were about commencing an in
discriminate robbery, when the United States troops ap
peared on the ground and disarmed them first, and then
dispersed them. The ringleaders were taken into custody.
What a peen° of bloodshed and robbery we would have
to relate had it not been for the fortunate presence of the
troops, we shudder to think of.

lately those disgraceful occurr e d whi Wedn es day York
bas become famous on night.
The particulars of the affair, so far as ascertained,
appear to be these: A number of Williair,sburgh
firemen visited the place during the day, to m.ke
a presentation to Hook•and•Ladder Company No. 1,
and the occasion was made a . festive one—the
latter Company generously entertaining their .visitore.
As usual in such cases the was frequently_ filled, and
as frequently emptied, and before midnight the visitors
and their entertainer., or the majority . of tbem, , became
dangerously exhilarated. In this condition they left their
rendezvous about ll' o'clock. and paraded the streets in
search of- further excitement. Hearing music le the
East New York Hotel, kept by Henry Miller whore the
Concordia Singing Club was holding a social meeting,
the firemen sought an entrance, but were refused by Mr.
Miller, who locked the door when they persisted in enter
ing. The firemen became infuriated at this, and immes' -
diately made an attack on the hotel with stones, e t mon win prodnco m

and children attending the social gathering. After this the
assailants battered in the main door of the hotel and
rished into the building, howling like demons and threat.
ening vengeance. They then continued their work of de
struction, destroying furniture and despoiling the pro.
prieter of his edibles and refreshments. Not satis
fied with this, they assaulted men,' women and children
in the most brutal manner, and overturned the stove in
the main ball, with the evident intention of setting fire to
the hotel, but happily this result did not follow. While
this was going on the friends of the proprietor of the hotel
armed themselves with shotguns and bludgeons, and
made an attack on the ruffians, when they retreated to
the street. Here a terrific fight took place, In the course
of which several were wounded, but not 'dangerously.
The riot lasted about an hour, and at its conclusion the
rowdies all made their escape. Four of theWilliami.

DISASTERS.
BOILER EXPLONION IN SAVANNAH.
Two Negroes Killed and a White Man
Injured.
[Savannah (Ga.) Herald. WM
- -
This MOraZIL at abOnt fifteen minutes before eight
o'clock, one of tbe stem boilers in G. B. Lamar,
Jr.'s Cotton Presses, at tho'dock, east of the Gaa House,
exploded, killing a negro fireman and a negro
laborer, and severely Injuring John Holland, the engi-
neer in charge of tim presses for which the boiler was
used.
About twenty minutes after the disaster we visited the
scene round which a crowd. mostly negroce, had congre
gated. The boiler, apparently Intact. laid as though ready
for work, newly a hundred yards in the rear of the boiler
rc om.
The building, in which the boller-room was situated,
had a large opening twenty feet wide cut through from
roof to dock floor, the back and front walls suffering
equally. In the rear of the building, not far from the
boiler, lay the deed body of the negro laborer, William
young, badly mansled but not tern apart. On the dock,
under the staging leading from the dock to the vessel
loading there, lay a mass of bloody flesh which was the
naked body of the mulatto fireman and engineer, named
Jim Sloan. A few feet from the body the legs lay stripped
of the skin, and with not a particle of clothing attached.
The anus were found Not tar away, bat the head is still
missing and is supposed either to be buried in the debris,
or to have been thrown into the water and carried away.
The engineer of .the press, Mr. Holland, was taken
away, and is supposed to be seriously injured.
Mr. G. B. Lamar, Jr., who was standing on the dock
near by, was struck by a flying brick, but not injured.
Few parties in the vicinity escaped bruises from the flying
iron and splinters.
The building itself to completely divided by the gap cut,-
back and front, by the boiler in its revolution lathe build
ing, before it was dashed out and landed near the shed in
the rear. The broken beams and flooring of the yard show
that the boiler came rolling end over end, the top of the
boiler smashing the roof-beems of the shed like so much
pasteboard.
Fur hours after the disaster crowds of curious lookerikon
stood round the dead bodice, which presented a ghastly
and nauseating sight.
THE OXISSE OF THE r.xytosioN
Can only be Conjectured. Engineers who examined the
boiler say that the diagonal bracesland stays strengthen.
lug the cream-plate were too weak, and bad become,.
weaker and weaker by use, until they one by one gave
way, and at last the pressure was too heavy, and the
crown-plate, weakened by constant exposure to the fire.
gave way. Again (but this is a rather improbable con)ec
ture), the negro engineer may have allowed the boiler
plates over the furnace to , obtain a red heat,
and then the sudden mjection.--of water may have
cracked the plate; butthia - iii,scotittadieted by the
circumstances that but a short ` time before the
water was at the highest gunge and had none been
thrown in until the accident occurred, the large cylinder
would have exhaused the steam and the press have ceased
to work. The cylinder used is forty-eight inches in
diameter, and has a stroke of eight feet. Thus the only
reasonable cause that can be aesied for the disaster is
the weakness of the boiler stays. The boiler was made in
New York by liemble & Warner, in 1859, and was first
used in the Cotton Press in the same year.
The negro laborer, William Young. was a married man,
and leaves a wife and thirteen children at St. Helena,
South Carolina.
A quantity of cotton in the yard was set on lire, but
speedily extinguished.
No estimate of damage has yet been made.
