t out Ploy n at the Walnut.
Mr. Charles Reade's dramatization of Foul Play
was performed at the Walnut direct Theatre last
evening, according to, promise. The story has
— bectrwidely - readi - and - the - natural - curiosityof the
public to see impersonations of faMillar charac
ters, together with the admirable advertisement
of the piece by the quarrel In the New York thea
tres, attracted a large audience. As far as the
managers of the theatre are concerned, there is
no reason to complain of the representation last
evening. They have done their duty in placing
the piece upon the stage handsomely. Most of
the scenes are new, and at least two of them are in
the highest sense artistic and beautiful. •The first
of these, on the ship's deck, is admirably con
trived, and the effect produced by its sinking in
the waves, is one of the best bits of stage art
that wo have seen fora long time. The marine
view is also good, and the bounding billows—al
though a trifle too dusty last night—were very
natural, and deserved all the hearty applause
bestowed upon them. The second good scene is
that upon the island. It is absolutely
faultless in design, and will prove to
be the most popular in the play, when the ope
ratives have sufficient practice to enable them to
trim the dashing surf with greater regularity.
Upon the drama itself, little praise can be be
stowed. 'lt is hopelessly weak and defective. It
is surprising that Mr. Reade should hive failed
so miserably in his attempt to arrange his con
ception for the stage. The novel, although,
wildly improbable in its design, and utterly im
possible in plot and incidents is intensely inter
esting. Moreover , it bristles with strikingly
dramatic situations, of which a competent play
wright would have made much. Mr, Bead° is
not a competent playwright. The drama has
one vital defect—that it does not tell Its own story.
The author's vanity may have led him to believe
bat his novel would be read by the whole Anglo
Saxon race, and he has taken it for granted that
his theatrical andienoes would cOnsequently com
prehend the full force of every lieldent without
explanation. Unfortunately, a large majority of
the theatre-goers of every community are, not
familiar with the tale, and to those, nearly , one
half of the occurrences will be utterly unintelli
gible, and an effort to comprehend the purpose
of the whole play will result in the greatest per
plexity and confusion.
It will require quick perception to understand
that "Arthur Wardlaw committed the forgery;
to know why ho did so; to perceive what interest
he had in plotting the destruction of the ship; to
comprehend. the design 'of "Penfold" in sailing
in the ship, and the method by which he seamed
a passage; to understand why "Helen" quarrelled
with him onboard the vessel; why "Wiley" could
fnghten him into' Submission so readily; why
"Wiley" threw two thousand pounds through
the wall of his lady love's house, and why
"Helen" so readily fell in love with "Penfold"
".on the island. These and some other incidents
have no reasonable explanation in the play, and
it would defy the most careful scrutiny and the
most vivid imagination to afford a satisfactory
solution 01-the mysteries. A drama is like a
painting in this-respect. If there must be fore
knowledge and a C'e•ramentarv, there is no intrin
sic value.
In other particulars also-the play is deficient.
There is a too perceptible 'Straining for effect
throughout. The climaxes, being often forced,
are weak and unnatural. When "Penfold" is ar
rested, his resistance is the result of artificial pas
sion, and the consequent tableau is not provo
entire of applause. When he leaps upon the
steamer, we cannot help thinking how much
easier it would have been for him to have come
down upon the wharf andgone aboard in the
legitimate way. In the third act the climax is
better. The struggle in the waves is really thril
ling. At the end of the fourth act, Mr. Bailey
makes the tableau ridiculous by cntting a frantic
and unreasonable caper with a chair. The final
scene in the fifth act is the best, the moat emit
ting and the most natural in the play. The in
troduction of the comic Neptunian episode, in
cluding dancing on board the ship, in the second
act, is a mistake and a ridiculous one. The
whole scare is at variance with the spirit of the
piece, and seems to have been conceived for the
purpose of filling out the act to the usual length.
The actors were all very good indeed. Mr.
and Mrs. Chapman, Mr. and Mrs. Walcot, Mr.
Bailey and Mr. Chester deserve especial commen
dation. With duo recognition, however, of Mr.
Bailey's usual regard for the proprieties, we beg
to suggest that there is some unreasonableness in
"General Rolleston" wearing a duster continu
ously throughout two long sea voyages; and it is
not surprising that his persistence in so doing
should have suggested to the galleries that he
was either a "carpet-bagger" or a member of the
Pendleton escort. It Mr. Bailey must wear •an
extra outer garment, perhaps a gum oveecoat
would be more comfortable and appropriate.
The excellent advertisement which Foul Play
has had in every quarter, may give it factitious
popularity and a long run. It it were the un
heralded production of an unknown dramatist, it
could not remain upon the stage a week.

HARING ATTEMPT TO ROB A BANKING HOUSE
MESSENGER.—This morning a daring attempt
was made to rob the messenger of a banking
house on Third street. It is usual every morning
for the bankers to send to the banks for the boxes
containing their valuables, and which have been
deposited in the vaults over night. To-day,
about half past 9 o'clock, a lad named John
0. Taxis, aged 16 years, who is in the employ of
Frederick Steeb, banker, No. 10 South Third
street, was sent to the Mechanics' National
Bank, a few doors below. The com
munication with the bank, previous to
the opening of the front door, is by moans of
a narrow alley on the south side of the building.
When the boy went in a light wagon was stand
ing in front of the bank. in the wagon two men
were seated. The steps of the bank are high, and
on each side there is a wide marble slab. As
young Taxis came out with the box on his shoul
der, and when near the end of the alley, he was
struck a violent blow on the head with a black
jack in the hands of a man who was on the mar
ble slab. At the same moment an effort was
made to get possession of the box. Taxis was
felled to the ground by the force of the blow,but
he - threw th - e - bbx in such a manner that lie fell
upon it. He then cried "murder" lustily. The
two men in the wagon then urove off, and the
third man jumped into the vehicle while it was is
motion. Taxis threw his box into Mr. Steeb's
cMce and ran after the wagon. Apoliceman,
who was in Mr. Steeb's place at tne time, joined
in the Pursuit. The wagon was driven at a very
rapid rate up Market to Sixth, thence to Arch
street, where it was lost sight of. Daring • the
chase no alarm was given, and the robbers es
caped, notwithstanding the wagon was driven
past about a dozen policemen.
The boy, Taxis, was seriously injured by the
blow, and was taken to his home, on Race street,
below Second.

WASMINGTON, Aug. 31st, 1868.—The weather
to-day was oppressively warm, but, notwith
standing, the "Scheutzens" had their parade and
grand "Scheutzenfest," at the Park, out Seventh
street. A part of the programme was to pass
brough the grounds of the Executive Mansion,
ay the carriage way fronting on Pennsylvania
avenue. When the head of the procession reach
ed the mansion, the President placed himself at
one of the front windows, and bowed graciously
to his fellow-citizens of the Scheutzen persuasion,
which was respectfully acknowledged by those
in the procession bowing and remov
ing their hats. There was no speech
making, but no one who saw Andy Johnson
thus receiving the respectful homage of "the
people," as he always styles these demonstra
tions, could fall to perceive his expression of
self-gratification, for no one more than he loves
to be the object of popular applause. His term
for such ovations is rapidly drawing to a close,
and he naturally likes to make the most of them.
In six months' time none will be so poor as to
Co him reverence.
• GEN4OSECRANS'S MISSION.
the gallant secret's Is getting sadly out of
I( a per at the sharp criticisms of the press upon
his "sell-imposed mission" to Lee, Beauregard,
Stephens & Co., and yesterday he addressed a
note to one of the journals here defining his po
sition, and taking exception to some of the com
ments made upon his errand to the White Sul
phur. It is believed here that he went over to
1 , 1 ,, w York to submit the correspondence to Ho
ratio Seymour, to get his opinion upon the pro
priety of publishingi it.
The conduct of Rosecrane in this affair has com
pletely lost to him the sympathy and confidence
of the Republicans. One said to me a day or two
ago. very frankly:
"I always felt dissatisfied with Grunt for the
manner in which ho treated Rosecrans,as I always,
up to this affair,thought Grant did him injustice.
But Rosecrans's conduct recently , has completely
changed my opinion, and satisfied me that Grant
was a far better judge of men than I am, and I
am convinced now that he was correct in his es
timate of Rosecrans and his removing him from
his command was right and just."
This is the universal opinion since the events of
the last few days have been made public.
FRANK BLAIR TO STUMP PENNSYLVANIA
The friends of Frank Blair assert that "he han
written aletter to William A. Wallace, Chairman
of the Democratic State Executive Committee,
promising to come to Pennsylvania, and stump
the State, about two weeks hence. The vote of
Pennsylvania is considered of vital importance
by both parties, for, "as goes Pennsylvania so
goes the Union," and I can assure you the most
energetic efforts will be made by the Democrats
to carry it, for that is their only salvation. On
the other hand, the Republicans hero are looking
to your State with anxious solicitude, not with
apprehension, but with an abiding confidence
that the full party strength will be brought oat at
the October election, end they feel certain of car
rying it at that election and in November, too.
If Pennsylvania should unfortunately be lost to
us in October, it will be up-hill work in Novem
ber.
ALL QUIET IN THE INTEILNAL REVENGE DEPART-
Secretary McCulloch and Commissioner Rol
lins were in consultation to-day concerning the
appointment of Supervisors, but no decision was
reached, and they eeparated. Notwithstanding
the reports that a compromise would be effected
in a day or two, I have been unable to discover
anything of the kind as the case remains in pre
cisely- the same condition it did two weeks ago.
Rollins may be advised by his friends to accept a
compromise, but there are no signs of it at this
writing. BIIBQUERAMTA.

Immense internal commerce of the EMPire, radiating
from these points, through its canals and navigable rivers.
The cable being laid, this company propose erecting
land lines and establishing a speedy and trustworthy
means of communication, which must command there,
as everywhere Ow, the communications of the govern.
ment, of business, and of social life, tieccially in China.
She has no postal system, and her only means now of
oommunicating Information is by courier on land. and by
steam ere on water.
The Western World known that China is a very large
country, in the main densely peopled but few yet rea
lize that ebe contains more than a third of the hcman
race. The latest returns made to her central authorities
for taxing purpoece, by the local magistrates. make her
population Four Hundred and Fourteen Hillionti. and
this is more likely to be tmder than over the actual ea
vegeta. Nearly all of these who are over ton years
old not only can. but do read and write. Iler
tion Cis peculiar, but her literature t. 9 as exten
sive as that of s Europe. China Is a land
of teachers and trader*: and the latter are exceedingly
quick to avail themselves of every proffered facility for
procuring early information. It is observ'ed- in Calffor.,
nia that the Chinese make great use of the.telmlph.
though it there transmits messages in English alone. To.
day, groat °timbers of fleet steamers are owned by Chi.
seen merchants, and used by them exclusively for the
transmiesion of early intelligence. If the telegraph We
propose, connecting all their groat mayor* were now In
existence, ft is believed that its bushman would pay ite
cost within the first two yesra of its succeseful operation.
and would steadily increase thereafter.
