child, that pure and holy kiss of love which mo

chamber. But could she close her eyes, in the
consciousness that her only child, ere many suns
illuminated this inferior world, would be enclosed
within the final resting place of mortality—the
tomb of •childbood and of age ?
• • •
When the sun poured bis golden light in the first
bright freshness of the rising day, the mother sat
at the'coudiof her little daughter. The soul of
her that was passing away would soon Wing its
I l flight, and the tears fell o'er the pale brow of the
sufferer.
7'he sufferer! Nay not thus, for the little girl
is calmly resigned, and no groans escape those
lips. • She bath been early taught to look beyond
the nothingness of earth; and well knoweth u
she gasps for breath, in the feebleness of that dy
ing hour, that angelic spirits are calling her home,
and that the portals of Heaven have opened at
their bidding.
And on such a death bed there can be no suffer
ing, no regrets while gliding away—passing, I
should say,-into eternity. In holy writ there is a
most beautiful expression in regard to little child
ren, which impresses us with the idea, that of
such is the Kingdom of Heaven
Death, death, why why wilt thou ever and anon,
blast the fond hopes of human expectations, and
and stamp thy signet an the beautiful brow of

Oh ! stay thy tears ; for they are blessed
Whose days are passed, whose toil is done ;
Here midnight care disturbs our rest.
Here sorrow dims the boon-day sun.

In a secluded spot, in the beautiful " Cemetery of

whelming" reverses of fortune. Those disasters
which break down the spirit of man, and prostraar
hiro-in the dust, seem to call forth all the ener
s, gigs of the softer sex, and give such intrepidity
and elevation to their character, that at times it
approaches to !sublimity.
Nothineean be more touching than to behold a
soft and tender female, who had been all weakness
and dependence, apd alive to trivial roughness
while treading the \prosperous walks of life, sod

As the Tine which has long twined its graceful
foliage, and been lifted by.it unto sunshine will,
when the hardy plant is jived by the thunderbolt,
cling around-it with caressing tendrillt, and bind
up its .shattered boughs ; so it is beautifully order

dependent and ornament of man, in his happier

The Theatrical Riots.
We occupy a considerable portion of this day's
paper, With details of the disgraceful riot in the city
of New York. We do not conceive it to be neces
sary to trouble our readers with lengthy editorial
comments upon the facts presented. are decid
edly upposed.to mobs and mob-law at any time. If
there isa - wrong committed, it can be corrected with
out a resort tD violence. No excuse that can be of-
Arid' will servo as an apology for the outragously
disgracelial proceedings at the Asto r House Theatre.
If Mr. Macready and his Mends treated Mr. Forma
with disrespect in London, that is no reason why
the former 'should be pelted off the stage with eggs
and dangerous missiles, in this country. We think,
ho'Wever, that the attempt of Macready to appear on
the stage at a time when he knew the public mind .
was inflamed against him, (whether justly or injust.
ly we do not pretend to say,) was decidedly wrong ;,
and the efforts of a few individuals to induce him to
face danger, WAS ill-advised to say the least. To the
rashness of these friends of Macready is to be main
ly attributed the tragical scene, which were enacted
in front of the Theatre.
Whosves Taylor , . &Wilmot Proviso
=Si
The Wayne Sentinel inquires concerning a cer
tain letter supposed to have been sent from Tay
lor to Fillmore, during the last Summer. The
paper is anziouslor the information. It asks—
Where is that letter from Gen. Taylor to Mr.
Fillmore., written just before the election, positive
ly decleuing its author to be in favor of the Wil
mot Proviso? There was certainly such a letter
written, and it was in Gen. Taylor's own hand
writing, for it was seen and read from the hands
of Mr. Fillmore, by a prominent and influential
leader of the whig party in the village, about the
last of-October or at least he said so. The story
was repeated by him and his associate whig poli
ticians at the different election polls, and produced
a tremendous effect in turning free soil voters of
all parties for "Old Zack." It was not to be pub
lished until after election, on account of its offen
sive character to the South, but its publication
was promised as soon as the election was over.
The 2V. Y. Globe says it knows several ...good
reasons" why Mr. Vice President Fillmore will
never pnt the public in prissesion of that letter.—
In the lint place he possesses no political inde
pendence, and dare not even exercise that influ
ence which his position naturally awards to him.
He shivered like en aspen leaf—his joints quiver
ed like old Belshazzar's—when the interpretation
of Thurlow Weed's hand writing upon the wall
was made known to him on a certain Saturday
night, at the capitol at Albany, in August last.—
Then Fillmore cowered like a whipped spaniel,
and pledged to withdraw his opposition to the
election of Seward for U. S. Senator, if Weed
would keep the "resolutions tin his pocket," and
"quell the excitement before Monday." Secondly
as the letter from Taylor was never intended for
the"public eye," but marked ••private' by his or•
der, it would be a violation of honor so Fillmore
in exposing its zontents. It has produced its els
feet—deceived the North, and assisted in electing
two incompetent men to office.

The New York Riot.

of the terrible riot, and in a letter to his paper &yes
the Ibllowing account of the affair. It will be per

duct of the military, who bred upon the citizens
when theme existed no real cause for such an out
rage
Nsw Yoax, May 11, 1849
When I reached here lest night, 1 found the bells
ringing as if for an alarm afire, and soon understood
that great masses of people had congregated at the
Astor Pince Opera House, where Mr. Macready was
playing, in accordance with the request of several
distinguished gentlemen, and the pledge of Mayor
Woodhill that he " should be sustained." Jumping
into one of the Broadway omnibuses, a few minutes
found my (needs and myself in the midst of an ex
cited crowd, in which could be heard exclamations
of horror and indignation, evidently arising from
something that had just occurred. I then learned,
with grief acid amazement, that the military, which
had been quietly ordered out, " to sustain Mr. Ma
cready," bad fired several volleys into the crowd,
killing and wounding a !lumber of inoffensive citi
zens. As I stood at the corner, I saw carried by
TIN dead bodies, and a still larger number of woos•
ded, including a poor woman, and several boys
This horrid act must have been the work of a free•
sled leader; it could not have been done delibere
ately. I boldly allege that there was no provoca
tion calling for such a fatal interposition. For the
most part, the crowd was orderly and good humor
ed, and the volleys of musketry were fired before
two hundred ante ten thousand present could bear
that they were threatened, or could get away from
the firing, when they saw it resolved upon. 1 allege
farther, that the whole affair might have been pre
vented. Even in Philadelphia, which has been re
markable for riots, when public places have been
threatened by an excited populace, order was given
to close them, as in the case of Kean, and in the
Case of the Pennsylvania Hall. We all recollect
how the Mayor of Philadelphia closed the Chestnut
street Theatre a few years ago, when a riot wa■
threatened, to consequence of an attempt to play a
drama founded on the Mercer tragedy. The author-
Wes may thus sometimes have tailed to save the pto
perty, but they always avoided exciting the people.
Here a frenzied public feeling against Mr. Macrca•
dy was laughed at and excited by the authorities ;
and fifteen of the " upper crust" aristocracy, often.
steely vaunting their aeherence to law and to order,
called upon him to play in defiance of this feeling,
in order to sustain the national character. When
the Mayor was called upon to close the theatre, and
admonished that bloodshed would follow unless tie
did what was -obviously his duty, he refused petemp
torily ! No public notice was given that the troop
had been ordered out; to marl the first notice of
their presence was ow taw firing upon Mr mum',
and to others, the Inge of an armed force being on
the ground was ter bullet Mat hurried them into eter
nity .' Was there ever such indiscretion as this
Was there ever such madness? In England, the
military are always called out ass last resort ; in the
late Chartist disturbance there, the government was
careful to maze the civil power prominent, and to
ern:Mold " buckshot and ball" until all other means
were resorted to; but in order to gratify the nffen•
dud pride of a British actor, and to appease the 'la
ded temper of some of the porcelain or better clan•
■ea, the people were teeniest, ridiculed, villified,
and abused; and the result has been that to gratify
this feeling, the hearthstone, of man 7 families hate
burn made desolate, and the prop or many a house
lioid torn away.' Old and young—the Irishman and
the American—the woman and the child hate alike
fallen victims to this shocking ititatuation. Last
evening, at the Astor House, a young man, while
convening with hi. companions, was suddenly in
formed that his innocent young brother, attracted by
the common curiosity to the Astor Place excitement
had been shot dead. I never seen such a picture of
human agony in my life.
It is difficult to predict the consequences of t h is
artful affair. I shudder as much to think upon what
they may be, as I do when I reflect upon this cruel
sod inhuman waste of human life in the free city of
a free coutary. A fearful responsibility rests 110111 a
o here.
Friz th • R4l vein,
kapldeistle Cholera.
To the People of Cincinnati ,—The publication
of the Board of Health, and the weekly report of
the Trustees of the Hospital, in yesterday's Daily
Gazette, basun shown that tbe Cholera has at length
or•guo to prevail among visas an epidemic, I propose' s
to say a few words on certain point• in which all
haves deep 'metes t.
In the first place, then, la no one leave the city
because the epidemic has come. In whatever un
known manner that disorder travois from country to
country, a is not, like small pos, a catching disease;
if it were, going out of the city would be a preser
vative. As in 1832, the cases which have now oc
curred, were in - various retired parts of the city. and
largely among women and children, who had been
in no degree exposed to boats, railroad stations, or
hotels, where they could have caught any disdase.
In fact, the cause has spread through the city, and
already been received into the bodies of ita inhabi
tants—old and young—rich and poor ; and they who
escape to the country are QS, likely,---ature likely,—
to be ill, than if they remained at home. The true
and safest course is for families and (heeds to draw
closer than common, and watch over and assist each
other.
In the second place, it ought to be known that e
pidemic cholera has nopremonifory symptoms. When
the sentinel on the walls of a fortified city fires his
gun, it is a premonition that the enemy is close at
hand—when there is a circle round the moon, it is
a premonitory sign of a storm ; but Cholera attacks
without any premonition. We aro accustomed to
apply the word Cholera to a summer disease of our
own climate, which generally begins with vomiting,
or that symptom and diarrhois combined ; and have
therefore fallen into the fatal error of regarding the
first stage of Epidemic Cholera, ass forerunner of
the disease. Leery man, woman, and child, ought
to know that, front the moment when the diarrhoea
sets in, the Cholera is as positively present as when
it has advanced to vomiting, or coldness and col-
lapse. When one shingle sends up smoke, the roof
is as positively on fire as when the flames light up
the city. The man who should stand still when he
saw the smoke, saying it was only a premitory sign
that his house might be on fire after a while, would
be regarded as insane; yet his absurdity would be
no greater than that of the individual who does not
regard himself as laboring under the Cholera, from
the moment the diarrhoea begins.
In the third place, it may be declayed as a fact,
that the disease may generally be stopped, if met in
that early stage ; at all events, wit cannot then be
put an end to, it cannot afterwards. It will run its
course, and the patient may or tney not recover, ac
cording to his constitution. But let no one believe
that this first, mild stage, can be successfully treated
if the patient continues on bin feet. His life depends
on his lying by,—no medicine can succeed if he I
should not. They may check it for the moment, and
delude him into a fatal security, but can go no far
ther.
In the fourth place, all persons who have worn
flannel during the winter, should keep it on wail the
Epidemic has passed away. They may put on cooler
clothing, her - should not throw off What they have
worn next the earthen of the body.

THE CALLING OUT OF THE MILITARY
TWENTY, MEN SHOT DOWN!!
.
We - reeord this nioruitig.one Cof the Most' heart
rendering affairs which it has ever been our pain•
ful duty to notice,, it being the attempt of an or
ganized mob to destroy the Astor Place Opera
House.
We must be brief in this article, since the time
for our paper to go to press precludes a long ex
pose—it being now past two o'clock, A. M., Fri
day.
Mr. Mecready was to play "Macbeth" last night
at the Astor Place Opera House, and the Chief of
Police, with the, other City Authorities had re-_
ceived intimations that the scenes of Monday night
las would be reenacted, with a determination, on
the pan of a certain class of miserable rosidies, to
put him dovin at all hazards! In this emergency,
the action of the authorities of New York city
seemed imperative.
Mr. Macready, as an actor, bad no sympathies
with our population, neither had Mr. Forrest but
peace and order must be preserved at all events.
In this view of the case, a consultation of the
Mayor, Chief of Police, Recorder, Sheriff, and oth
er officers of New York city and county, was held
yesterday forenoon, and, in consequence of this
consultation, Mr. Matsell was ordered to detail
some four hundred men of his force, to be in read.
iness to surpress any attempt at riot, and Gen.
Sandford was empowered to support the Police
with such portions of his command as he might
think necessary.
The Chief had his force on the ground, distribu.
ted through the Theatre at six o'clock. The com
pany assembled. The Theatre was well filled—
only some half dozen ladies, however, being pre,,
sent, (who, by the nay, stood their ground through.
out the terrific scenes which occurred)—the play
proceeded among cheers and hisses, Mr. Macready
displaying remarkable nerve and coolness dur
ring the • entire affair. We were up town and
around the theatre early in the afrernoon—every
thing was then quiet. But on visiting the Opera
House, about eight o'clock last evening, in tom
puny with Coroner Walters, a most remarkable
change had taken place .
Ten thousand people surrunded every avenue,
and after crowding to the front, where we waited
until the misguided multitude had, in demolishing
the street lamps with paving.stones, made our
longer stay uncomfortable, we took the winding
stair to the Amphitheatre.
We found it filled with Policemen, with their
stars displaying, and unentigaltd rowdies! The
first act was on, and the hisses were remarkably
energetic whenever Mr. blacready made his ap•
pearance. Presently these degenerated into the
moust foul and disgraceful language towards the
lady actress who were supporting Mr. Maeready,
acting their parts with great coolness, as also did
the gentlemen connected with the establishment.
About eight o'clock,after the lamps outside had
been demolished, the stones began to come into
the interior of the Theatre, through the upper win
dows. many of them falling upon the stage and
among the audience—one, particularly, striking
the large chandelier which hangs from the centre
of the dome.
About tbe tame time the demonstrations of the di*.
organizers who occupied seats, began to manliest it
*cif in hoots anti yells, interspersed with the most
foul and indecent language towards the ladies who
were upon the stage. At this instant from a sign
given by the Recorder, the Mere' the Police gave
order to clear the Theatre of all disorderlir persons,
and in tire minutes, some forty of the most obnoxi
ous croakers where placed in quiet, under the recess
tanned by the upper seats of the Parquette. Here
they in a few minutes managed to set the Theatre
on tire, but it was speedily extinguished.
During all this a most diabolical hail storm of par.
ing stones was projected through the broken win
dows, upon the heads of the unprotected au.Sience,
vs he were forced to dodge, as hest they might, the
fearful projectiles. The mob outside was inCrealiiiit
each moment in numbers and ferocity. he‘et.ii at
the Policemen had been brought in severely wound
ed,,orin or two of the martinets were forced, and, as
everything appeared like a most geed determination
on the part at the rioters outride, to demi., the
house, and the imminent danger pending overits in•
mates, Mayor Woodhull, who was present, gave or
ders to bring the military into the melee. Tile order
was promptly obeyed, and in a few minutes several
companies of the Hatioual Guards were placed in a
position round the Theatre.
They were at first greeted with hisses and groans,
but in a short time, just alter The curtain fell on
"Macbeth," the paving stones began to be hurled at
them, and many of therm were very severely, if not
fatally, injured. They stood this pitiless pelung,
however, like veterans, arid for nearly half an hour
sobmitted, without any retaliation, to the dangerous
assault, only removing their comrades inside the
Theatre, as fast as they were struck down. This
passiveness on their part, 'teemed, however, only to
increase the rage of the infuriated riotera, and at the
solicitation of the Chief of Police, Mr. Recorder
Talmadge, amid a shower of missiles, ventured his
life to warn them off. The caution was unheeded,
'and the Mayor and Sheriff Westervelt being called to
scene—the danger every moment becoming more
imminent, the order, was finally, very reluctantly,
given tofire!
To the honor of the National Guard, as citizen sol
diers, a platoon instantly answered the summons!
a number of the mob fell, and among them a noted
convict from the State Prison. The rioters then re
treated in confusion, but soon rallying, they came
on more determined than ever, and it was only un
til three more trollies had been discharged into the
escited,crowd that they were induced to retire.--
Probably two hundred balls were fired, of which
twenty took effect. As near as we could learn,
twelve or thirteen are killed outright, and eight or i
ten killed wounded.
We have not time, nor heart, this morning, to re
cord the further details of this fearful affair. The
misguided men who have paaaed into eternity, by
their own rash act, we sincerely deplore. But we
have only one wish more, and that is, that those who
incited this affair could meet a similar fate
Some innocent people have been sacrificed, una
voidably so, and our regrets are poignant in their be
half, bat we trust that this will be the last demon.
stration of rowdyism in this city. Let the law be
sustained, or our liberty is not worth a farthing's
value.
To the Chief of Police, and the Captains of the
different wards, with the men under their commands
our citizens should award every praise for their pa
tient endurance and efficient service.
Mayor Woodhull proved himself to be a fearless
first Magistrate of this city in the late emergency.
Recorder Tallmadge and Gen. Sandford, with the
Sheriff Westervelt, were active and energetic, and
to their exertion■ may be attributed the compara
tively small loss of human life' on this occasiou.

shivered, while within are the wounded of the Mili

of disgust and horror, are Made at the fatal result.
The following, from the Morning Star, is a list of

Why, if things go on this way Gen. T►ILOa
will be shorn as bare of literary reputation, as a
field of wheat after the sickle of the reaper. Some
deny that he wrote his despatches, others that be
wrote his Allison correspondence; it was indignant.

Bacon denies that he wrote the letter to General

that he ever called on hint for a nlittle more grape;"

ionable audience assembled to witness the first re
presentation of the !, Child of the Regiment,2 o one
of Donezett4 most celebrated Comic Operas. In the
principal character, Miss 13tienti anstained herpart
to entire admiration. Her charming ruriede, tfie
exquisite effect of the struggle between old associa
tions and the restraints of fashionable life, were ad.
mirably portrayed. The celebrared song, cc &hut
a to Films' , was received most enthusiastically ;
Miss Brienti sang it admirably, as also the ainging
lesson, which she gave most artistically. This yeung
lady has well earned the applause and praise so lib
.
erally bestowed by the press,on her personation of
the charming Vivandiere.
Of Mr. Manvers, what can we say, except tore

did voice and artistic skill, which was rendered _so
apparent last evening in spite of the little ha had to

was sung with melting three, add displayed his skill
to perfection. These artistes have inthis Opera in

whose admirable acting and singing of the Marchion
