Thins, treating of Miss Cushman’s recent performancejat tlio ’Winter Garden,, (a thoatro I) in MWibrk, says," In tho eight weeks, sho realized within »; low hundred of $lO,OOO, making her income; if measured in tho same proportion, more than double that' of the Prosidont of the United States. Mr. Forrest gets oven, a shade still better terms, and even many" stock actors re ceive a steady yearly Income higher, than that of bur, Secretaries of Stile. Ati*. Brough- 4th rtcoived last season, at Wallack’s, sl7o a week, besides benefits and allowftticofor his pieces; Mr. Lester W'alkck receivos $125 a week i Mr. Blake, $115; and W. Walcot $lOO. At tlio •Winter Garden and Nlblo’s, Messrs. Oouldock and Dyott received $7O and |s6o, and Messrs, Conway and Fisher $7O and, SGO respectively a wock. At Miss Keono’s,’ this season, thore are no high salaries, blit, at the opening of the last, sho paid Mr. Jordan $lOO. Last season, too, Mrs. John Wood and Mr. Jeil'erson rocoivod each $l6O a week, un der the management of Mr. Stuart. Nelthor Garrick, nor Betterton, nor Mqnden, 1 nor Dowton, received one half tliis snm itt their best days. Mo wonder, With such increasing salary of artists, and diminution in this pried of admission, that managers, now-a-days, nover realize the same snmsns of old. Tho days of managers have gone by, and those of aotors, scene-painters, and' carpenters, have succeeded.”:!", : The fact is, aotors and actresses are now bettor paid than any other persona—popular clergymen excepted. When, as in the, cats of. Mr. H. W.'Boechof and Df. Chapin, the Well* paid popular preacher aisb i 3 tho weil-paid popular lecturer, his income exceeds that of the President of the United States. Mr. J. B. Gough, the Temperance Lecturer, whoso dramatic powers entitle him to he ranked as a great actor, is said to rccoivo abouts2so for each of his performances. Say. that ho per forms, on tho platform, only twico a week, his income must atnount to some $26,000 a year. Theatrical performers of acknowledged ability receive large salaries, and. nobody, can blame them for accepting such ample remu neration. If Miss Cußhman can obtain,; be-' cause it remunerates a manager, as much as $lO,OOO in eight weeks—which is even mote thah Mr,.Gough,receives for his performances, —and if Mt. Forrest more,! they are quite right in taking It. Itmust be id-, mitted, though Miss Cushman chiefly resides in Europe, that Mr. Forrest do'os not spend his incomo in any foreign land, but dispenses a large portion of it in tho pnrehaso of books and tho encouragement of niiUve art. But, apart ftom single examples, the reiioclion Which forces itsolf upon the mind is—how 1 In* ctattve the dramatic profession is, compared with others ? At tho , regular theatres, middling j or “slock” performers 'receive from .slo' to $25 per week. Pat these performers into any other business, ami see they., oonW earn half this compensation.. The botierr class performers obtain larger of course, bnt not dlsproportfonably so, consi dering that, for tho most part, these Shav4 to And their ot?n wardrobes* If*;, Slio'rpeH’B dress as Hamlet, a part which” wc should fflfo to see him oftener in, cannot have cost him loss than $125. It is .even morQ costly to loading actresses: we hayc soon Mrs. lirow. and Mrs; Cowell respectively wear dresses* at -Arch* street and •'Walnut-street theatres, which' con not have cost loss than SMO a-plec«i.. - / Oiio wrotchodly paid* Back ballet-girl get? $8 por week, and finds her own dresses f Tho manager of Wallaces theatre finds It his interest, no doubt, to pay $125 a week, to. Mr, Lester Ijpjllack anil $125 to ‘Mr. Blake, ekcolJeht 1 poHohnets each. &ut take the highest weekly salary paid to any .Newspaper editor—-$6O a woek is said to bo tho salary of Mr* i>sb& of the Tribune — and it is only one half of that paid to Mr. Lester Wallack, who probably clears an extra $l,OOO a y oar hy two benefits, Mr. Blako’e $ll6 a week, to say nothing of HU benefits, also, is exactly what the editor of tho London Times receives. Contrast tho mental labor of editor and actor, and judgo how the former is underpaid, as compared with tho light work of tho popular performor. There aro not over three news paper editors in tho Union who tgcqlyq $6O a week—ono half of Mr. Lester Wallaces easi ly-obtained incomo. How fow obtain oven $4O a week; how many hundreds of hard-working, talented, and every way respectable editor* and reporters in America do not earn more than from $lO to $2O a week. Jlow many clergymen, lawyers, and medical men—all of whom must be fully educated before they tajio ttp those professions, to outer which costs about $2,000 Jo eaoh man for education—ac tually aro now receiving under $2O a week, boing less than is paid to very middling theatri cal performers. One advantage, however, is that actors and actresses—except Ihe wandering “ stars” who occasionally visit us from England, and aro becoming fewer every year, thanks to the de cided improvement exhibited by our native .and resident performers—^wo say that actors and actresses spend their incomes, if unnatu rally high, where thoy receive them. The foreign “star,” on tho contrary, spends as lit tlo of his American receipts as possible, We have often wondered why ho consents to bo saddled with tho class called “ agents,” for whom thoro soldom Is any need, excopt when tho “star,” as in Blondln’s case,does not un derstand our language well enough for bu siness. But tho resident performers spend their money where thoy make it. Tho fo reigner, who pays us a flying visit, takes most of Ws receipts away ftom this country, to spend in his own. If this bo truo of «star” actors and ac tresses, how utucU truet of tho wandering comets who condescend to warble and dance into onr pursos—tho Plccolominis,and Gazza nigas, and Fanny EJlslcrs of tho opera-house. Ono may fcol angry, in tho course of his dally work-in tho pulpit, at tho bar, by tho bodsido, with tho poneil, or with tho pen— when he loams that I’iccolomlnl, in a few months hero, cloared $lOO,OOO, notwithstand ing her ■ want of voico, bydlnfcof enormous puffing, and took it away to spond in Italy; that Gazzanlga is reported to have clearod $40,000 in three years, which sho will dispose of in like marmor; that a eantatrico is paid $4,000 for flinging on somo twolvo to llffoon ovonlngs in a month, and that & good tcnoT, who is popnlar, may stand out for $3,000 for liko florviccs i Those Italian flingors, who ro colvo such princoly incomes, take tho gcoatcr part of them home—thoy voalizo largo for tunes, which they romovo out of tho cnrroncy of tho country. It Is no wondor that theatrical anil operatic managers liavo rarely succeeded, In lato years, In milking monoy. Mr. Wallnrlc laid done It In New York, ami so Ims Mr. Wheatley In this city, blit theso gontlemon nro highly acconi pllshfld artists, and also good bnslnoss-mon, who have lmd long oxporlonco as theatrical lessOos, and know, much bettor than their stago-managers, how ovory piece Bhould bo cast bo as to bring out tlio talent of each per lormor In It. Thoy are liberal, too, whon tho occasion demands it, and tills pays In tho ond. Should Mrs. Bowors succeed in building her thoatre—thoro has long boon an immenso pile of bricks, apparently destined to raise It, cum bering the highway in Chestnut street, which Bhould bo used up or removed—she may ho assured, what she probably knows very well already, that judicious liberality in manage ment Is iar moro remunerative than that nig gardly economy which realizes the old ndage of losing a cheep for a ha’porth of tar. By tho way, this new theatre in to bo built upon a plan more extensive than originally contem plated, and the accession of additional stock holders, to raise mor» capital, is invited. Theao tu'c not oxactly llto Union io part ivltli money, I>ut, whether Mrs. Bowers iloen or (loos not carry out her Idea of having a thontro In Chestnut fltrnot, mi to nro wo that mioli mi (iii- Hortaitlng Would snoricod ulldor good Inanagb inont. If sirs. Bowels can organizo tiils pvo l'orly, her theatre mnit succeed 1 Its locality is halftlio lrnttlo gained. Tho natural tehllorfcy o' a new theatre In Chestnut stvcct, creating a demand ,<or!pct'- formors, would bo to advance salarios. Strange as It may appoar, the,number of flrat-clasa per formers In any country Is very limited. - , The l/nloii Spirit in North Carolina. Tho last number of tho Raleigh Standard for many years the able exponent of fho, De mocratic party ot North t Carolina, contains sovorfti articles in which tho editor anhoimbcS his determination to resist tho Diminionists to tho death. Ills conservative and fearless condupt lost him the position of State printer, btriho dofiua ills enemies with equal eloquence apd spirit. Tho following extracts will bo read w ith interest as showing that North Caro lina is not yot ready to follow the misguided mop who control South Carolina, and who have obtained temporary possession of tho party organization in her sister State: af Tho p&blio tfrintm* has been executed for eomo tlmo past’, at 1 the Standard office, and hq one hatfrcpmplaiDed,cither pf tho ptyU of tho work or of the tirap, occupied in doing ip, Wo were-a jcan- : didete fop Ta-election, and our iiamo was submitted to tho caucus.

Wo eleotloneored wi.th no ono for the Offloo-,’We outorod into no combinations for{{He' spoils. 1 Wo conoealod no opinion which wo eiitOr tahied in order to secure a re-election, but we frankly told every oue with whom wo conversed on ,tho .Bubjeot, that wo were for a Constitutional Union, tand opposed to disunion and civil war. were defeated mainly 'because of bur devotion to .a\Co7ietttutional Umonr Tho.defeat of so hamwe f a ! periwn as ourself is a matter otno mo ment in.itself, except as it-may indicate t the <jonrse which pubho fakfng in this BWmiutous oriels'' A tfare ‘ majority 7of : the pany 1 has solemnly deeiiircd, 1 by this not ,of proscription towards us, that no man is to be rtacgntye4 ob a truft Democrat or friend of his country,, who is opposed to disunion at this time and for present causes. Wo are but tho humble victim*! this sweeping declaration. We denounce thoDithnlohists, and we appeal to the’people against' th&n.’ -~We appeal 'from the secret ballot totheojpen and spoken word. We tell the Demo cracy of North Carolina, whom wo have served so long and bo faithfully, that we have nover bolted a Conveption nor refused to support a nominee. Wo are as loyal now as we over wore; but we should be a faitkloss sentinel on the watohtower if wo failed-to warn them, and’the good people of this Slate, that tho control of the party has been usurped by ambitions and designing men, who, if -not checked in their oqurse, will commit this Statfl to revolution, nnqrohy, and civil. war. Let the pooplo rise Id'their majesty aud say to thwV followers of William L. Yancey, thus far, and Let them resouo taeir, Own cause, and tlie dearest interests of the Stated from the hands of prOfoMionn! and trading politician. l ). Ihe policy of these politicians is embodied in'the meseago of Governor Ellis, which 'We to-day;—a policy which, if adopted' and darrWa out, will inevitably lead to a dissolution ofjthfl' Union for' insufficient causes, and bring down upon us all such calamities as hovb never been ex perUnood on the northermwrtion'of this conti nent/ We predicted in the Standard of July last that the day was not far distant wheb the battle would have to be fought in thtaSt&tdbetween Onion and disunion—between those who Voftld struggle for the preservation of the Union according to the Constitution, and those who, nhwilling to trust to two departments of the Government against one, and unwilling to rely on a return ing senso or justice in tho Northern pooplo and tho millions of trno friends whom thp'Sonth yoi has in ■thatportlen of tho Union; Would madly mshinto tbo Tortox, black and bottomless, of revolution, se cession, military domination, and civil war. Thtit flint has arrived. We stand like a rock against both disnnlon and mibmiiflion. With both hollos of Congress and tho Snpreruo Court In ourfavor, wo will try Mr. Lincoln, but wo will not submit to the slightest, indignity or the slightest encronobment on Routhem right*.' The very day be lays his hand bn tho honor of the South, or on Us Vital in* tar&ta, that-day ihe Constitution is broken, and the. Union perishes. Lot us, thon, Watch hid Wait. • i ' “ Wo understand Gov. Rlti« as ompbatlcally ad vising tho people ol this State to resist tho tnau gyration of Mr. Lincoln. Jfo says: *lt 2s true 'Abrahwn Lincoln H elected President according to the forms of tbo Constitution ; it is equally true that George the Third wo# the rightful occupant of the British throne ,* yet, our fathers submitted pal to his authority.'' Thai Is, otsr father# resist ed Gborgo the’Tbird, and wo should resist Abrri ham Lincoln. Wo should resist him without try ing hitt ; wo should Icnp violently into tho untried Boones of anarchy and revolution, simply because a bad man has boon chosen Biosident according to the forms of tho Constitution. Bat wo deny that George the Third was tho 1 rightful occupant of tho British throne.* Our fathers fought, not only against George the Third, but against tho doctrine of tho divine right of kings. Every eohoolhoy knows this to bo so ; yet, Gov. Ellis tells us that George the Third ‘ was tho rightful occupant of tho British throne !* “Thcro aro various otbor points in this disunion document which wo will notice hoioaftor. Mean time, wo reproduoo the language used by us on this subject in our Issuoef tbo 17th blatant, and an nounco U as our purpose to stand immovably on tho ground thou occupied. In tbo Standard of tho 17th wo said: “ ‘ Tho banner of tho t Jprs and stripes, now so bit terly donouncod in Charleston, never waved but for tho protection of South Carolina. Hundreds of her son# have died bonoath iU glorious folds on foreign battlo-ficlds. It la truo, tho election of Lincoln by a strictly geographical vote is a groat oolamity. If tboto who elected him shall attempt to carry out their peculiar views with referenco to tho South, every Southern State will at onoe unite and mako common obubo against a commou enemy. Let us, thou, watch and wait. Mr. Lincoln will either break up the Union by attempted aggres sions ou tbo South, or be will break up his party by refusing to attempt aggressions.

' , - One Session in our Public Schools. ’ This, question is by no moans finally ectUed.‘ It kill bo agitated by the people, uutil tho reform is carried. * ’ j - The views of Colonel Leech on this subject] d‘e-‘ serve to be generally read; Certainly all t the. teachers in tho land will thank hlm'for his frac and toooking acknowledgment of the value of their sorvioea: Col. Leooh advocated one session with earnest ness and ability. Be said he had made the subject of education a careful study for a period of ten or fifteen years. All onr private aohoola owed thoir popularity and aaooeM, In part, to this system! ,Tt is more humane; more rational, and better for'the pupil. - Our fchuroh-yatda and cemeteries are filled with little graves, and to what must wo attribute this fatality ? Ask the enlightened physician, land he will toll yon too long confinement in the pesti lent atmosphere of our tlnventilated school-rooms. If a law oonld be passed against infant schools, we should shortly see £rowi»g up around us a more healthy and longer-lived population. This view is sustained by the solentifio men of the most en lightened countries of the world. Prance; Eng land, Germany, Prussia, and Amerioa, sustained him in this assertion. Col. Leech said ho was : one of a committoe of twenty, who had visited, in May last, tho schools of New York and Boston. While attending to this duty he had seen enough to Con vince him that we could learn much from otif neigh bors. In achool structures we were a-quarter bf a century behind them, and in many ossontial mat ters appertaining to education we were equally de ficient. Whllo Now York and Boston - wotO eaoh voting $lO,OOO a year for pianos and instruction in vocal music, oar City Councils wore meanly with holding all appropriation. And so with a half do ten matters of nearly equal importance. Whilo more enlightened ottlcs were forbidding alYstudy out of school, we wore for cramming our children into their graves, barely roform is needed in ,this matter. Ask Professors Maguire and Cxegar, and they will tell you that we orem too muon; they will tell you that, many a fine !&d, many a bright girl has found aif early grave, owing to sevore'and Fong-continued pressure upon the brain.' Col. Lceoh said, with groat feeling and impressiveness, that, as at preeentconduotod,he was not surowhe ther our schools are not a ourso, rather than a blessing. Look at it! A child is born unto'os; wo maintain it for fifteen or eighteen years. We do our host to rear it to a useful maturity, when, just as wo think we are about to be repaid for all onr care and anxiety and love and expense,'tbo ohild is enatohed away, and borne to tho silent tomb. And this is tho result of our errono ous system of education. Better-far better— lot your children run wild in the street#, taking the risk of contamination from their dally surroundings. But, to oome back to the vi sit to the New York and Boston schools :Jn almost everything, but particularly in all that relafes to coEDinwvsenße physical development, the" New Yorkers are for ahead of ns. Col. Leech wquld liko to send those directors who had instructed thoir controllers to New York, that thoy might hear, and see, and Judge for themselves. Surely those men are best qualified to legislate for the highest interests of education, and for tho moral, intellectual, and physiool well-being of tho chil dren who have made the subject a lifo-loogstudy• Aro school direotors, whohaTo been inlooalboards for only fivo or six months, competent to instruct a controller who has given this subject his serious attention? Perhaps some of these direotors, have not visited a school a half a dozer, times in tho wholo course of their lives! What do saoh' men know of the wants of scholars ? Nothing—lite rally nothing. Bat wo are told that too one session movement we? sot afoot by the teachers,' and they were to reap the bonefits of it! Shall we ro : fuse our okildion a kindness, a muoh*needod re laxation, a life-preserving measure, because tho poor teaoher is to be benefited thereby? God forbid And hero, said Col. Leeob, letmepayn passing tri bute to that patient, hopeful, eolf-eaorifioing, digni fied, noble band, composed of the teachefa of our city, State, and country. Truly, a noble baud ! How great the trust confided to them—how .mo* meDtons for good or for evil! And yet, how poorly aro they requited. If we considor their labors to reach the necessary grade of qualification, their laborious saorifioos after they becomo teachers, their low opportunities of reward, the trials of pa tience they undergo from stupid committees 'and ignorant parent#—if we consider these things we shall then begin to appreciate a profession -which deserves to rankwitu the highest, the purest and tho bo3t known amoDg men. I will not, oontinued Col. Leeeh. enlarge npon the advantages of one session. The moesura has been advocated with ability and candor in this board. It is not neces sary that I should recapitulate tho arguments in favor of it. The ablest newspapers in the city have supported tbo measure, and the newspapers which hnvo opposed it havo always boon found ar rayed against reform, They opposed the destruc tion of themarket sheds, the laying of oity tail ways, tho introduction of steam fire-engines, etc. Of course, then, they will continue to oppose all other reforms. This is all right if thoy aro sinooro, and I shnll not quostion thoir sincerity; but it certainly looks as if they were governed by .mo tives o£ self-interest, a desiro to sell their papers, by opposing a salutary and popular measure. In the long run, howevor, Truth will tri umph to 'the confusion of her enomios. Col. Lee«h hoped that this mattor of ono session would bo taken up by tho people next spring, in whioh caeo he felt sure that every one who did not doolnre himself for it would be eleoted to stay at home, the only fit place for any man po fatally obtußO to the best interests of popular edu cation. It is well known that in every section whore an expression of opinion had been called for nine out of ton had committed themselves in favor of it. Some directors had declared that they did not care for suoh expressions of opinion on the part of the people; hut I beg to inform these gentlemen that the people are tho source of all power, and their wishes must bo respeotod and oboved. Tbo measure may fail to-day, through the blind stub bornness of certain direotors, but another year will show more auspicious results, results more nearly allied to the wishes and genius of our people.

Mao. Airs. Lincoln. A correspondent of the Evening Bulletin thus sketohes the future lady of the White House: Doubtless your lady readers would like to know something of the future mistress of the White House. Mza. Lincoln called in the afternoon to see the portrait that Mr. Healey had just finished. She is of medium size, slightly inolined to embon point y and is still oh the sunny side of forty: Her laco is oval, and is as remarkable for its regular rounded catlines as her husband’s is for angulari ties. This, with soft eyes, dark hair, fair com plexion, small features and month, make'as agree able a companion as any one desires to see. She has a good, motherly look, a low, soft voice, and appears to be just suoh a woman as one woold rely on for sympathy and support. Her carriage and gestures aro graceful, her manners winning, and her addross easy and dignified. It was plain to ail present that it would be no difficult task for her to preside over the courtesies of ttye White House, and that she will adorn the station. Of. course your lady readers desire to know how. she was dressed. If “Jenkins” will pardon the inva sion of his province, I will undertake, Horn a very limited ■knowledge of materials, millinery and znantuamaklng, to describe what Mrs. Lincoln woro. Her dross was a ,brown or oafes colored silk, with grayish flowers and leayes. It was ioado foil with ftooncos, 'fitted well, hong graccfolly about her person, and trailed, but just a triflo. Her bonnet was of blaek Bilk, trimmed with cherry ribbon, which with a dark mixed shawl, neat-fitting gloves, and a rioh lavonder ooloicd parasol, completed her costumo. Mrs. Linooln examined the portrait with close atten tion, said it was tbo best sho had seen, but remark ed that it gave Mr Lincoln a gravor expression than ho usually wore. The artm.explalnod that ho hud frequently observed, at least he thought ho had, that very expression on Mr. Lincoln as ho had eat boforo him. After auother study of the pletaio, Mrs. Linooln now thanked the artist for having delayed his departure in order to afford her an opportunity to examino the. portrait, and with ft gcnoral and graceful obeisance to tho com pany present, she quiotly walked away, followed by hor two chubby, roay-faoed, bright-eyed boys, Hill, aged about oloven, and Tom, otherwise called “Tats,” or “Tatsoy,” agod about five years. Bob, tho “ Princo of Hails,” is decorously pursuing his studies at Harvard University. This fa all of tho Linooln family—the President-elect, bis lady, and their throe boys. Times in Savannah.—TFo have seen a let ter, says the Macon Telegraph, from the president of one of tbo Savannah basks. Ho states business there is in a condition of entire paralysis. It is impossible to sell exchange upon any point, and cotton buyers havo been compelled to meet their liabilities by surrendering their bills of lading— substantially returning tho cotton. He suggests tho idea of advertising for consignments of cotton to Liverpool from planters, and shipping tfiem with orders for supplies in part payment, nndthe remainder in specie. Diptiieria.—Steubenville, Ohio, • and vici nity hotfo Eufloied lorribly from the ravages of diptberift. Tho Herald tays : u Tho disease had attuoked both old and young, but has prevailed most generally among children, among whom it has been most fatal. The number of deaths from the dipthoria in this oity from tho Ist of January, 1860, up to the present time, among children alone, is not far short of two hundred. Tho deaths among adults have been, probably, opo fourth of that number. Many families havo been mado desolate from the vitulenco ot this disease.” Trade of Norfolk.—The annual report of the Norfolk (Ya.) Merchants’ Exchange shows that for the year ending the 30tb of June last; the receipts of produoe at th&tcity, reached $4,174,354, of which $1,500,000 was in cotton. A merchant ot Memphis, Term., has recently visited Norfolk to. negotiate for the transmission of twenty-five thou sand bales of ootton from Memphis' to that city on his own acoouut. It is said that the sounds, inlets, Days, and rivers of eastern North Carolina are alive with duoks, geeso, and swan, particularly goose and awan.
