A WOMAN'S EXPERIENCEN IN EC-
Vesuvius' In Death-Throes—Naples,
Pompeii and Herculaneum- - Ascent
and Descent of the Volcano.
,Correspondence of the Philadelphia Evening Baneful!
NAri.E.s, February 7, 1868.—Am I dreaming ?
No, the dull, heavy, surging sound that breaks
the awful stillness of midnight is the shock that
follows each meeting of the deep blue billoWs of
the 3lcditeranean with the white-capped dan
cing waves of the glorious bay of Naples. The
city stretches around the bay, forming a complete
semicircle of white houses, grey castles, black
towers and forts. Around it the mountains form
a sentry chain, and their snowy peaks glisten in
the moonlight, and glow with the rosy fire-light
that Vesuvius flashes over bay, city and moun
tain. Vesuvius is dying ! From the Tuileries
balls,the-griming tables of Baden-Bader, the
gaieties of the Dresden Court, the operas
of Vienna, the enchantment of Venice,
tiTh Casino of Florence, the festivals of
Rome, the bull-fights of Spain, and from all parts
of the world, awe-struck, silent watchers have
gathered round this fearful death-bed. For nearly
five months this fiery monster has reveled in
tempest and sunshine, night and day, fascinating
the dreamy mariner swinging in the shrouds of
his storm-rocked vessel far out in the Mediterra
nean; startling the drowsy shepherds from their
siesta under the cypress trees ; drawing the ever
watchful Neapolitan mother from the orange
grove to her vine-clad hut, to see her babe safe
from the land-slide threatened with every shock
of a new explosion; and now it seems in the
agony of dying.
Last evening we stood on the terrace of a. high
house on the bay and watched the indsations of
Vesuvius. One moment a tongue of flame,
shooting up fifty feet, flashed a stream of light
that revealed hundreds of little boats on the bay,
filled'with watchers; crowds of peasants along
the shore, dancing, singing and relating the fear
ful eruptions of no distant date, when whole
villages were obliterated in one single day. Great
streams of red lava flowing down the black
crusted sides of the mountain,and settling iregut
tars and forming dozens of lakes of fire, sent
forth steaming, sulphurous clouds, that were 11-
lumed by the glowing crater and seemed like so
many floating, waving dewiii, exulting in
dyrtruction past and coming. I have tried to.
sleep, but sleep that ii "sweet forgetfulness" re
fuses to favor me. Every huff-hour I wake, my
room light enough to see a pin on-the floor.from
- the intense brightness of thamoon and' the. rosy
reflection of Vesuvius. Now the dark henvy
smoke rolls in a straight line over the, mountain
chain that stretches along the coast to Sorrento;
again a terrible report; stones, rocks, lava and
smoke aro thrown violently out, and the very
earth trembles, while the monster pants more
faint and exhausted from what seems the last ex
piring effort.
Can ono roam through the ruined streets of
Pompeii, or descend eighty feet under ground to
Herculaneum, see the awful work of Vesuvius,
and then deliberately ascend the voleimo? Yes,"
we did it yesterday. The fearful impression will
'never be effaced, arid if I visit Naples, fifty times

PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, MARCH 10, 1868.
again I will not take my life in my hands and go
up the mountain. Let me tell you how we did
it. Wishing to be on the mountain by moon
light, we left Naples in time to reach the village
of Torre del Greco at three o'clock. Oh, what a
Babel was there! Our guide ushered us into a
house, consisting of one room, that served as
parlor, bed-room and kitchen, to a Neapolitan
peasant, his wife and four children, and doffing
our crinolines., we were marched out singly, and
each mounted on a shaggy, good-natured Naples,
pony, not much larger than a Mount
St. Bernard dog. Now came the tug of war.•
Without the least exaggeration,there were a hun
dred donkey-drivers, pulling their stubborn beasts
in and out among the crowd of beggars,lnzzaroni
and offal-gatherers, and such a scene of rags
dirt, confusion and rage at our guide's unwilling
ness to employ the whole crowd for eight travel
lers, onu could never possibly imagine. When
we started there was one man holding on each
bridle, one each side of our saddle, and one hold
ing the horse's tail, as all ponies are conducted in
Naples. The guide held up his hands in despair
at the awful expense our trip was likely to cost
us. and by dint of strong language, kicks and
pushes, right and left, he enabled us finally to
escape the village with two mounted guides and
one at each bridle.
How curious the narrow donkey roads, with
high walls on each side,that caused the sounds to
reverherate,made by the clattering of the ponies'
feet on the solid stone steps, cut like low, slant
ing terraces in the rocky sides of the mountain!
In single file, slowly and laboriously, ponies and
guides trudged on, the setting sun behind its,
Vesuvius in full view before ns; and now great,
bald ,E harp pieces of lava,like iron,are rolling from
unti:r their feet, and often cutting through their
,hoes. The lava of l P5l! After an hour and a
half we reached the road that once led to a Her
mitage, where a meteorological observatory was
erected for the purpose of making scientific
examinations into the phenomena of the volcano;
but the road was impassable, being entirely over
run with lava that resembled a hard paste of
cough made with ashes. From this point, 2,08 u
feet above the level of the sea, we toiled over
r;dgcs, ruts, hills and valleys. even mountains of
lava.
A half hour of this fatiguing journey over a
de:•crt more dreary and terrible than imagination
!!;113 possibly picture, with Pompeii, Hercu
laneum, Torre dcl Greco and dozens of buried
and ruined cities and villages painfully oppress
ing our sense of the supremacy of man's in
genuity over natural accident, and inspiring
a dread of the awful, fiery monster we were so
recklessly approaching, not in the least modified
by the fact that seventy-five thousand souls were
actually clinging to their old homes on the
int.untain side. down which rivers of fire rolled
and surged, upheaved and turned in great blocks
of crimson paste, as if the cauldron of hell were
nolling over and seeking Victims beyond its
limits.
disutounted; our_skirts were_tie,d
around ns to prevent their being torn off by the
sharp edges of bard lava, and with a guide to
drag us by the hand, every ono of the party being
furnished with a stout stick, we started towards
the lakes and streams of botid - fire. At evety
step the heat became more intense. We were
passing over lava that had rolled down only
twelve hours before. We dared not pause an in
stant or our feet were burned; if we stepped one
inch aside from the spot pointed our, by the
guide's staff, we might plunge our feet into fiery
paste; sometimes the crust under our feet
cracked: we sprang from it, and sulphurous
dames i , stic-d from the crevices. At last I found
my•strength exhausted: my guide, perceiving it,
.:ried out: "Courage, Mada ; aca act: pea. loin."'
-Not a step," 1 answered, and all scenes appeared
to reutde,_when_a glass of bright wine dashed be
,.ween my eyes and the light. and "Drink! it is
the wine of Vesuvius!" completed the work my
overwrought feelings had begun: and not till the
reaction proatteed by, a whole tumbler of
I, l oh ry7,o , cliri,tti, did I comprehend that Pande
monium and Vesuvius ware not synonymous.
ye were so near the flowing red lava that S our
to .5 were all crimson with the heat: but we
dutd to remain while coins were thrown into it,
and then fished nut with the metal sticking to
them; eggs were roasted, and on the very place
where we stood, holes were made, only on..inch
deep. through which papers were lighted for the
gentlemen's cigars!
Soon we returned to our ponies, began the
descent, and ne\er will I forget that awfully
grand scene ! A black mountain, sighing, groan
ing, breathing out fire and smoke. Ruined
cities. new villages, illumined by its flames. The
snowy mountains, rearing their white peaks to
the clouds that caught the golden glow of Vesu
vius, and broke into silvery light as the full moon
rose triumphant, when the volcano sunk into
gloomy, smoky darkness. Naples, beautiful
white crescent city, lying at our feet; the bay
gleaming with the thousand lights that lay like a
radiant coronet on the dancing waves: the deep
blue belt of the Mediterranean stretching out. an
illimitable line, beyond, and I, awe-struck, weary
and subdued, pondering en the Majesty that "rides
on the clouds, and holds the seas in the holloic of
His hands!" E. D. W.
AMUSEMENTS.
"MAITIC , , PERU." AT TIIE ARCII.--.Wituds Peri!,
a new play by Mr. Watts Phillips, author of The
head heart, and other dramas, was produced last
evening at the Arch street theatre. The play is
by no means the best of the author's productions.
The plot has not the merit of especial novelty,
and while some of the situations are intensely
dramatic, the general impression produced upon
the spectator is, that the whole play is very much
like something he has seen before, precisely where
and when he cannot determine.
The story is something after this fashion:
"Lady Mand" is affianced to a man who stays
away, Enoch Arden-like, until she supposes him
to be dead, and she Is induced to marry a rich
old fellow, whose worldly wealth constitutes his
only attraction. But there is, of course, abe c tie
browed villain in the shape of a returned convict,
who has seen the lost lover, and brings to "Lady
Marid'_' a letter fjom him. While she reads it, in
comes the lover himself, and mutual reproaches
ensue. Her husband, without understanding the
situation is friendly to the lover, but one evening
"Lady Maud," in a fit of somnambulancy, walks
into his presence with the lover's letter, drops it,
and goes back to bed. Her husband reads it,
hrows furiously angry and bribes the convict to
ill the lover. Convict tempted by , the sight of
gold kills the husband instead.,. Just then in
comes the lover, and the injured man accuses hini
of the murder. Eventually he discovers his mis
take, acquits him of the crime,• leaves him his
money; commends him to his prospective widow,
blesses them both, and expires, as all rich, incon
venient and 'unlovely husbands- ought to do.
'"Lady Maud" returns to her first love, marries
him- and the curtain comes down. This is an
outline of the whole story. • •
The different characters were very well sus.
OUR WHOLE COUNTRY.
tallied, and the admirable management,for which
the stage at the Arch is noted, was apparent in all
of the details of the performance. Mrs. Drew
herself gave some admirable acting in the part of
"Lady Maud." The somnambulist scene, in the
third act, was particularly well performed, and is
untitled to especial commendation for being
within the bounds of nature, and yet forcible and
impressive. Mr. Walcot was excellent as "Toby
Tripeiboy." although the character was some
what out of his usual ; and Mr. Everly made
a decided bit as "Gerald Gwynn," a part, by the
way, in which be has a better opportunity to
make a pleasing Impression than in many which
be has been called upon to sustain. "Sir Ralph
Challonee was well represented by Mr. Mackay,
and Mrs. Creese made the most of the small part
of "Susan Taperboy."
Mrs. Drew has placed lliaud's /Wit on the stage
with more than usual care. The two new scenes
of the "tapestry-room" and the "gothic drawing
room," in the second and third acts are remark
ably handsome, and all the appointments are
rich and in the best taste. The scene in the sec
ond act where the gleams of lightning light up
the old wainscoated and tapestry dining-room
during the interview OT "Maud" with her lover,
was very effective, and the slamming of the doors
and windows by the gusts of wind contributed to
the impression of reality. Indeed, all that good
taste and good management could do to secure
the success of the play was done, and the large
audience present testified to their approbation at
the fall of the candle by liberal applause.
BENEFIT or OWIiN FAWM=.—On Thursday
evening next Mr. Owen Fawcett, the popular
young comedian, of the Walnut street company,
will have a benefit. The bill prepared for the oc
casion Is very attractive and will present Mr.
Fawcett in some of his most successful Imperson
ations. Rip Van Winkle, Solon Shingle and
Blinky Brown are the characters, and we feel as
sured that it will not be necessary to do more to
announce Mr. Fawcett's appearance in them to
insure him a crowded house. His merit as an
actor as well as his personal popularity will surely--
contribute to make this benefit in every way a
MIMES.
1115 , 3 EFFIE GERMON'S BENEFlT.—Tomorrow
(Wednesday) evening Miss Effie Germon will
have a benefit at the Walnut Street Theatre. In
her peculiar line of parts Miss Germon has few
equals on the stage.- She is sprightly, vivacious
and attractive, and sings charmingly. She will
appear in ail ee excellent pieces, .116 g's Direr.•ion,
Pet of the Pelticoat.-: and Jenny Lind. A full
house is already an established fact.
Tnn TIMATEES.—The local drama Dead Sea
Fruit, will be repeated at the Chestnut this even
ing. The hour of the beginning of the perform
ance not announced. At the Arch, the play -Vaud':
Perd will be repeated with Craig's burlesque Faust.
Performance begins at a quarter to eight. At the
Walnut, the drama The Octoroon will be given
with a fine cast. Performance begins at half past
seven. A varied bill is offered at the American.
alas. KTIMBLE'S READLYGS.—On Monday even
ing next Mrs. Frances Anne Kemble will give the
first of a series of four readings at Concert Nall.
Mrs. Kemble announces that she will not permit
the sale of reserved seats. The reason for this is
that some of the people who held tickets in Now
York, came late and disturbed the reader. It is
hardly fair that we should sufThr for the sins of
ill•mannered New Yorkers, and we think Mrs.
Kemble has made a decided mistake in establish
ing this rule.
SELECT REA ra:Nr..4t, Concert Hall this
evening, Mr. S. K. Mu och, the well known elo
-cutionist, will give a - reading at behalf of the Ed—
wards Mission idchooL The selections comprise
extracts from favorite authors, and as Mr. Mur
doch possesses rare talent as a reader, an enter
tqf ment of great merit may be expected_
ELM Y.,SLIA STREET OPERA HocsE.—The great
burlesque upon Under the Gaslight entitled
Anything You Like, will be given at Csrncrows and
Dixey's this evening. This is one of the most
amusing pieces of the kind ever placed upon the
stage in this city. It abounds in local hits, comi
cal situations, and contains a multitude of good
things. There will also be a miscellaneous min
strel performance.
PnnanFLrarnOPEßA Hoerr:.—An attractive
minstrel entertainment will be given at this house
this evening. The performance will include sing
ing. dancing, instrumental music, burlesque,
farce and negro personations. Several of the
most accomplished members of the profession
are attached to the company engaged at this
hou,e.
Et I;NErr.-Mr. Alfred Burnett, the celebrated
mimic, will giVe one of his amusing exhibitions
at At,sembly Buildings, this evening. Mr. Bur
nett assumes a multitude of different characters

MR. BANDMANN has achieved immediate and
emphatic success at the Lyceum in Xurci.gse.
Srittzt.u.46 CoxNE's Woman of the World has
been produced at the Olympic, with Mr. Charles
Matthews and Mrs. Horace W!gan.
SII ;NOR MAIIIO has •in some measure retrieved
his - credit - in Russia by WS singing, and still more
by his acting, with Mlle. Trebelli-llettini, in La

Two new German operas are announced at
Weimar, The /Pro of the North by Herr Gotze,
and . /m Kyjrhaa,ten, by Herr M.uhldorfer. The
hitter is sale to have been successful in Leipsig.
SPEAKING of Bandmann the 0 reheth-tt remarks:
"Ile is decidedly an impassioned actor, resem
bling Mr. Fechter in some particulars, without
Mr. Fechter's jerkiness; and he speaks English
remarkably well."
HER SCIIOBSER, m London, announces four
concerts_ exclusively Aevoted. to the music .of
Schumann. The A then aunt says : '`Originality in
advertisement could hardly be carried' further
than in the case of that gentleman, who, the
other day, among other attractions to his 'grand
evening concerts,' announced the exhibition of
three letters by 'the late Edmund Kean.' "
Tun Havre journals are filled with eulogies of
Mlle. Adelina Patti for her performance, in the
theatre of that town, of "Rosuaa" in the Barbiere.
In the music lesson she sang a composition,
entitled Les Echos, borrowed from the repertory
of Jenny Lind, for whom it was composed by
Ecker.: The artiste afterwards played the mad
scene in Lucia, and produced a great effect. The
Marquis de Caux occupied a stall. The gross re
ceipts at the theatre Were 10,036 francs, the
highest amount ever taken there. After the per
formance the orchestra and the chorus gave Mlle.
Patti a grand serenade in front of her hctel.
Ronr,nrsc&s "Play" is on the boards of the
Prince of Wales. Bays the Orchestr a:—"lf the,
greatest success depended on the fewest letters,
we suppose Mr. Robertson might become the
greatest comedy-writer of the time by calling a
piece 'Pa: or 'M.P.' In this respect, indeed, `Play'
ought to stand a very fair chance of success. Bat
the objection to 'play' as the name of the piece
is that there is little or nothing about play In it,
except that other _sense which_makes the whole
piece a play,. On Plating, the action
does not binge. The wording on the
playl:bill with its redundant German, 'der
Brunnen das aim Schloss, der Spielsaal, der Kar
ma, der' Kurgartel "was calculated to throw the
expectant one off the scent. The spectator
awaited a brilliant picture of Isfo at a German
Badort,.with all the - intrigue and excitement of
the tapes rert, the interest culminating at Trenls
ria or in some equivalent incident of the gaming
table. Nothing, of the klenthappened, except
that there was .ft gaming table, at , which a real
Frenchman acted the croupier, and a few super
numeraries-strongly insisted on all staking upon
the winning color." ,
• Tna'unpublished and unproducest opera, com
posed by the late M.-Meyerbeer, on the subject
Of Geellte's early days, has furnished theme for
much discussion in. Paris, bat the facts of the
case seem at last to have been reduced to a sys
tematic statement. M. Blaze de Bury, it appears,
wrote a drama of the ordinary kind, which he
entitled "La Jeunesse de Gi;the," and which he
read to the late Mlle. Ros Cheri, long known as
the leading actress of the Gymnase. When ho
came to certain verses which were intended to be
sung in course of the piece, he was stopped by
the actress, who expressed her opinion that the
situation in which they occurred would be
much heightened byoperatic music, but that the
music latroduced ought not to be the work of a
mere ordinary composer. This opinion was con
firmed by the lady's husband, M. Moutigny, the
manager of the Gymnase, and M. do Bury ac
cordingly took his drama to Meyerbeer. who was
so pleased that he soon composed for it a veri
table operatic score. The original drama thus
lost its original character,and became inseparably
connected with the music of Meyerbeer. In this
form, M. de la Roumat, director of the Gdeon,de
sired to produce it at his theatre, but Meyerbeer,
who had already completed "L' Africairvl
was determined that that opera should be
performed before any other work from his hand.
When Meyerbeer was dead, and L'Afri,caine had
been brought out, M. Blaze de Bury claimed his
manuscript and the score, but was informed that
he could not obtain them inasmuch as Meyer
beer had expressly declared in his will that none
of his manuscripts were to be touched during
the minority of his grandson, who, on coming
of age. was to have the sole right to dispose of
them, provided always that he was a musician.
To ensure the fulfilment of his wishes, the
composer had adopted a singular precaution.
Suspecting that artists could scarcely fail to
be curious and indiscreet, if entrusted with
his unpublished works, ho placed the whole of
his manuscripts in a large chest, strongly secured
and sealed, and bequeathed this to the care of
fcinr curriers of a suburb of Berlin, with whom
1,6 bad no personal acquaintance, and whose
names he knew simply because he had seen them
daseribcd_ on. their sign-board while making the
tour of the Prussian capital. Here, then, is the
difficulty: On the one hand the carriers refuse to
open the chest before the time appointed by the
testator; on the other hand. M. Blaze de Bury
contends that he is in possession of written pro
mises that nullify the right of the deceased com
poser to make his work inaccessible. The deci
sion as to the rights of the antagonistic parties
b elongs to the courts of law.

MExico Cul:, Feb. 29. VIA Hey.use, March 8,
1868.—The news from Sinaloa was very warlike.
The rival claimants were about to settle their
dispute by battle. Senor Ignacio Vallarta, the
new Minister of Gobernacion. had arrived at the
capital from Guadalajara. Senor Vallarta is a
native of Jalisco, about 37 years of age, and a
man of great scholarly attainments. He is one
of the ablest lawyers in Mexico. In 1856, when
he was the youngest deputy in the Mexican Con
gress, he made one of the most remarkable
Bpetches ever delivered in that body. It was
characterized by its intense hostility to the
Church. Senor Vallarta is a man of the stamp
of General Porfirio Diaz. He accompanied
President Juarez in his Right to Passe del Norte.
Congress refuses General Sanchez Ochoa per
mission to take his seat. He was again arrested
on the 29th and imprisoned. A railroad compa
ny to connect the capital with Tuxpan is said
to have been formed in New York with a capital
of $25,000,00 9 . - They are to commence - work - forth- -
with. No railroad bills have been passed re
cently, and nothing new has taken place with
reference to the Mexico and Vera Cruz Railway
since thevote by which the concession was aus
pended.. It is generally hoped that Congress
will finally condescend to allow its completion,
as this is imperative for the trade of the country.
Senor Romero finds many difficulties in his
new position of Treasurer. Mr. TIM has been
satisfied and has gone to New York. Ten of the
Legion of Honor have gone to California. Puebla

the foreigners who had a hand in the late conspi

After the election of Mr. Vickers, the other day,

Gentlemen of the Committee: I am deeply sen

State has conferred upon me, and
_I __thank you
for the complimentary terms in which you have
cotniannicated the joint action of the Senate and
House of Delegates of Maryland. And while lam
also sensible that you have attributed greater merit
and ability than I possess, I nevertheless assure
you that I shall not have one coda of morals for
private life and another for public station, but
ehall be governed in my official conduct by the
conscientiousness which I have always endea
vored to make the rule of my private life..
cannot but regret that the lion. B. F. The
has not been alicepeed by the Senate of We
United States as a representative of the State of
Maryland, knowing as I do that his commanding
abilities and extensive influence would have
added lustre to the proceeding's of that gTave
and honorable body. If in the discharge of my
public duties I shall be able to , contribute , to, the•
establishment of the broken harmony between
all the Btates.of the Linton and the speedy bind
ing them together in happy fraternal:relations, at
the same time vigilantly guarding the honor ' the
rights and the sovereignty of my own State, and
faithibibranstaining the Constitution of our cone
try, whielt have always revered and adhered to,it
will be to ;no the highest duty and noblest aim of
my public career.
