Ifithere is much room for improvement in.- of the American rMBOn to expect it. .liWmfeip ' as we think the European stage does, froin the present tendency toward thg aensfljjioatfl. and superficial, exhibited .not lmqHiggj£ theatre but in literature, "and e^pecjS^^teJ- 1 tion. ■ Our novels, now-a-days, of crime, and our popular pl»jg|sjpfa| tions of the best or the vrofst oP them. Nobody writes in these times, at least no manager produces, what is called standard comedy. Boucicault, the most successful dramatist of the day,' aims almost entirely at stage effect, and we remember no writer for our stage who emulates Farquhab’s superb spirit, Gold smith’s nature, or Sheridan’s wit. The associations of journalism with the theatre are too intimate; literature is too far from it. - Leigh Hum®, when he established the| “ Indicator,” ahd attempted to give impar-' tial criticism of the London stage, deter mined that he would accept no favors from its managers, and form no acquaintances with its actoris- «He wanted to keep his in dependence, and riot only to be just, but to avoid the temptation to partiality. But our journalists are too frequently anxious to form a kind of bobtail to the theatrical kite, and steady its aspiring flights. The critic accepts the courtesy of free seats from the manager, and returns it in the shape of an unscrupulous unmitigated puff. Avonta Joses is the superior of Chablotte Cush man; Lucille Westebn is npt only an effective actress in sensational roles, hut a great moral instructor. This improper intimacy does not, however, always result in unjust praise, hilt often in unjust cen sure. When the newspaper quarrels with the theatre the manager is most easily struck through the reputation of the com pany, arid the critic can find no merit in an actor by whom he has been slighted. It would be far better for bpth interests .if they were kept jealously apart, if the free list were abolished, the puff denied, and , the chief difficulties in the way of honest Opinion removed. But while we desire to see the gulf between the theatre and the newspaper broadened, we hope to ■see that between the stage and litera ture diminished. We wish our best au thors would write plays as good as their books, ,’and that our managers would ac ceptthem. But with all these errors and vices the American stage improves; it has great vi tality and power. In no country and in no age has the drama had a more general support than it has in the United States. We do not know how many theatres we boast, but the number of professed actors and actresses in tbe country, recorded in the census’ of 1860, was 1490. This is undoubtedly an under estimate. Every large town has its theatre, and in the cities we know how popular is the stage. The character of the profession has perceptibly improved in the last ten years. There is yet much Bohemianism in it —Adah Isaacs Menken Hrenan, arid the like—but the proportion of intelligence and education has increased. Young men and ladies of culture and refinement take their places on the stage, because they feel acting to be an' art, and .the true vocation of a special talent.. Great actors have always been the peers and companions of great authors and artists; Garrick was the friend of Johnson and- Sir Joshua Revnoeds; Munden the friend of liAmb ; Kean might have been the intimate of Bvbon, as Bm dons was the guest of Queen Charlotte ; yet not only are our few distinguished trage dians and comedians'welcomed in the inner circles of intellectual society, but tiie many good actorß, who are to the stage what the second and third-r Ste poets-and journalists are to literature, are recognized as true ar tists worthy of ail respect. If you compare the stage of Collet Cibber with that of to-day, you may not find it superior in ability, hut you will in respectability. And every good- performance, every new actor of worth, every new play of value, gives additional dignity to a profession which haß so long struggled with its own inherent weakness and the prejudices of society. One great reason for the social de pression of the theatre has been the fact that th*- -actor and his art are insepa rable. Actor, dramatist, and painter may be equally men of „ genius, and equally worthless in morals, but the world in the latter eases knows only the play and the picture; in the other it criticises the man. De Quihcet’s opium-eating did not- de grade him in the opinion of the thousands Who listened to his mighty eloquence— but imagine a theatre of opium-eaters E Byron's poems charm the young ladies none the less because of the gin that kept him awake when he wrote them, but/KEAM’s love of liquor shocked morali ty, and -he was hissed at Drury Lane, for an error insignificant compared with Byron’s habitual life. Wherever the ar tist''appears publicly his art is identi fied with his personality. If the tragedian is drunken and dissipated, the Samlet will not be properly respected,- and ’if the com pany is not respectable all its genius will not serve the profession from contempt. The.player should remember that his art is always embodied in his own person; that he stands nearer to the public than the wri ter and the-painter, and has, therefore, more reason than they to be careful of what he does, for his actions either elevkte or de press his profession. We read strange sto ries of the license of the theatre in the old days, but now it is gratifying to know that the green-room of a good theatre is as free from impropriety,as a parior, and that the actor who would play logo In private life, and the actress who would play Camille, are frowned upon as stern ly by their own profession as by- the public. Theatres are not built or man aged as they used, to be. Two theatres in this city~~have abolished the third tier and. the bar-room ; and the pit, with its crowds of whistling boys, is no., longer- known outside of the famous Bowery. Our managers better appreciate the im portance of maintainingthq respectability of their theatres tW of elevating the in tellectual character of the performances. So we kriVC few good new. plays, and a second-hand English drama is the best we have. But as the stage improves SO w»2J the original drama. In the meanwhile, -some of our great artists understand the re sponsibility imposed upon them by genius and success. Charlotte Cushman, though retired from the profession; has indirectly done much for its good., Edwih Forrest, as we recently announced, has built a small theatre iuhisresidenceinthis city, intended as a school for poor children who show dra matic ability., John S. Clarke and Ed win Booth have shown an earnest desire to raise the average merit of American acting, and bring upon the stage a class of young men equal to that-which continually gives new life to the bar, the pulpit, and the press. And their efforts are pot likely to be unsuccessful. The old prejudice is fail ing. Who has not known some young man who, evidently mail* l by nature for an actor, has permitted Wily objection: or his own fear of an experiment to make him a respectable nonenity for life ? Pre judice has ironed out many a bom tra gedian into a flat clergyman, , and sent many an ignorant fellow, fit only for an honest trade, strutting before the public a bad Horatio or a ranting Macdutf. We have seen a Ohosl in “Hamlet,” who, when the Prince exclaimed, : 11 Haste me to know It; that I, with wings as swift As meditation, or the thoughts of love, to my-revenge,” replied-: s/*' » “I find thee apt, ■ Jnd dnllewhouldst thou be. How, Hamlet, hear," bn spourmg, entirely unconscious Such ineapables find room . lii good theatres solely because better, men - etc wanting. Yet, we think the small parts afe better acted now than they used to be, ilioOgh the ambition of inahy managers to Induce sensational plays, with large and. |«lttpanies, 'is an increasing evil. gatre stands now on a basis of in appreciation, and may surely, if e brought much nearer to the level of the other arts than it has'ereribeem All classes are interesl|ed in its'pfogressj.fpf the moral influences IoY rational amusements are greater than those of systems of educa tion. “Let me write the songs of the peo ple, and I care not who makes the Jaws.” It is almost ; as important .that weshould have good theatres as good books, and we are glad to think that' the spirit 'nf the American nation is unconsciously shaping Mbs American stage - into a representative .. ; , ; ■ < r ' ThO' iiayal Auademy Ball. ?

A heavy rail of T-lren Was'tho-'TiSn, - suspended on wooden horses and swung like apon dulum (except tha* the rail, of courses was-horlzori* tal). The end of the rail speedily battered down the brick columns supporting the building,' and laid , everything In ruins. What was not smashed In this way was soon lloked up by fire. , Another correspondent', writing to the Boulsviiw Journal, says: - Since we arrived at the aeacoast I have had'the pleasure of treading ground saered td history. Our regiment took possession of .the town of Sunbury . and the old fort,-which, In the days of Revolutionary fame, bad its history. It will be remembered that the British landed a force below Snnbury, attacked and' captured the tort, moving thence on Darien, and they burned the town of AUdway, and moved upon Savannah. Barge trees have grown In the trenches around the fort, anA what was then a large plantation Is nowxz heavy pine and cedar forest; yet the old guns remain spiked, and half way embedded In the sand which has accumulated within the. fort.- Stand- ■ lng on that ground, and looking 1 ' out on our blocka ding squadron, and beyond to where the sea and sky meet and mingle to melody, I could not repress strange emollons. What, lf lt were possible that the heroes who defended Sunbury could speak tram their graves—what would they say to the people of Georgia to-day t ' "Would they urge them to persist to their wicked attempt to destroy the great Government for which: they gave their lives, or would they, wlth-warntog voice, tell them that secession springs from the devil and ends only in disgrace and Infamy 1 Would they not conjure their children, |y the blood they shed, by the wounds which ’laid them low, to avoid the traitor’s path, and oltog to the Government which was bought with blood and established. In wisdom for the benefit of all men, to all climes, throughout all coming time 1 Then, too, I wondered If those heroes o£ ourhis torlc days fein as they walked the parapets of their fort, and' looked out on the British flag waving to the sea beyend, that dread of battle which so many of ub feel to these modem days 1 History tolls us how they fought, but I could not refrain from ask ing myself If the red-coats came dashing bayonet to hand, upon the little fort, and If our fathers met them to the breach 1 - Thus I mused until It seemed that I could hear the thunders of battle In my ears. I could almost seethe blaze of the Bong Tom as she hurled her chain-shot among the rigging of the British vessel, the shonts of the enemy, the hitter shouts of de fiance which answered back, the grand assault, the meeting of foemen face to face and hand to hand, the clashing of steel, the going down Into the ditch of the cockade and red-ooat together. All these things seemed present before me, and I ‘could scarcely realize that I lived to 1861, Instead of 1777. As I write, my tent Is sheltered by the boughs of a live oak, planted during the period .when Georgia was a colony, and it is probable -that the-scions of England’s royalty have enjoyed many a gala day in' the grounds adjoining mv camp. Within a hun dred yards of my tent no the remains of Governor Joseph Wright, who held office by appointment of King George. The worthy Governor wqnt- to sleep to 1773. The remains of the old mansion are near the camp, while the grand old avenue which led to the mansion of this “finoTJld English gent” is co vered over with the growth of a century, and everything around betokens a grandeur of style which Time has laid his finger upon and marked as belonging to the past. But why continue this 1 Has not every foot of soil some claim to sacred remem brance, for, though we are the children of a new world, we trample daily upon thejmrled history of a people who were onoe as numerous if not as pow ennl as we are now. < Ihoidshts or tn Guhat Fight in Tbknbs-' ssb.— One of Gen. Webster’s -orderlies, John O. By bee by name, a member of the let Ohio O&valry, was present on his , horse, with a regiment of the I6th Corps, when they made the oharge on the enemy’s works, to the evening. So great was the enthusiasm of the man, that he ooula not restrain . his desire to accompany them, .end accordingly rnshed forth to the ling, though entirely unarmed. He Soon outstripped them to.tn® race. Between him and the rebels was a stone wall Bvw feet high, and beyond It a ditch. How he dewed this he does not well remember, only that he found himself on the other side, and to good condition. > He chawed at: once upon a headquarters wagon, the driver of which dismounted and took to flight. From this he captured a rebel stand of coTors, an officer’s belt,, and a portfolio of official documents. When he attempted to return, he found the wall he had passed now quite Impracticable. A member of the Bohemian fraternity, “Ber wick,” of the Boston Jbiß-nhj, was.alone to the rear of the SSd Oorpgwien it made lts'Buperb charge on the hill, kud witnessed It throughout. He had round It necessary to dismount, hltoh his horse and seek protection behind a line of works. During the progress of the charge he quite lost himselfin.admi ration, and issued out from behind his defenses, passing through an embrasure to the front. A sud den sourry of bullets restored him to consciousness, and he promptly replheed himself under cover. When his elevation of spirit had somewhat subsided, what was bis disgust to find that some unrdmantlo ■'-’of had possessed himself of his horse and va nished, The result was that he reached Nashville SiTfoot. eight mSa distant, utterly devoid of “items,” and filled with melancholy resections upon the depravity of human nature. Thu Stoky on Buhatio.— lt has generally been believed that It is dangerous to sever one’s head from his trunk. Indeed, we had believed it always destroyed life, until we found the following local to the Cincinnati Gazette, of the 12 th. The re porter says: “ Night before last a man entered the Ntoth-street station-house and surrendered himself to the offloers to oharge, saytog that he had killed a man, but onlyfiid so to self-defence. As the officers were about to lock him up, he agreed to make a statement of the affair. About an hour before,'as he was walking along a street ta the western part’of the elty, he met ,a couple of rough-looking-men, who invited him into a. saloon to drink with them. Nothing loth he consented, and after ditoktog a couple of toddles the men took him into a baok room and then mid there deliberate ly robbed him. Upon making an outery the fiends - turned upon him, and one of them cut his head off with a large are lying hear. After this, aooordlng to' the man's statement, he picked up his head and put it to its place, when, strange to say, the head became fastened to the trunk, and all his senses and reason returned, Finding himself in possession of hla full faculties, he determined to revenge himself, a „o shot one of the men,-when-the other ran away. The proceeded to the station house, and surrendered himself to the offloers of justice. It is believed the man has been rendered Insane by some hoMIMe stories he has recently read.

In most o’aees they areGomgla troops, who have become disgusted at the unfavorable turn mill., tary affairs ha'Pe lately taken In their State, and have been Infected with gome of Governor Brown’s rebel lions and obstinate, spirit. The main reason, for the large 'lncrease In the number of desertioawrom the rebels, consists In the tact that all our regiments before being sent on picket duty ara mowTurnished with printed cppleß of General Grange late order, promising Immunity and steady employment to snoh as voluntarily and truly,abjure.the rebel; cause, 'These ; circulars are enclosed in.excbanged papers, and reach the enemy through otherfphannols besides, and their -efficacy Is beginning seriously upon the discipline of even Lee’s .veteran soldiers. - V ■yve havo had Innumerable rumors in tlmes past that'Richmond, being or was to be evacuated, and It may seem idle how to repeat them. Yet for several days past we have had them reiterated to a variety of shapes and from'a variety of sources.

Yesterday .was as charming a day as the heart .could wish. An overcoat was an Incumbrance gladly dispensed with. To day, however, the shies are lowering and overhung with leaden-colored elouds. If we have flue weather for any length of time, we may expect some movements on the part of the enemy, as rumors of a contemplated evacua tion of Blehmond are continually repeated. Ij is reported here, and upon what seems credible ' authority, that there & soon to be a change In the different headquarters of the Army of the Potomac. Gen- Grant, It Is stated, will shortly remove his headquarters to Washington, as a more oentral pbintthan hlB present station, and whence ho can observe and direct the movements of all our armies, both east and west, with greater facility. In case this alteration 1b made, Gen. Meade will probably occupy the Lieutenant General’s present headquar ters at City Point, and Gen. Park will be located In those thus vacated by Gen. Meade. ir the information which I reoelved to-day, that there Is now ten feet of wafer In Dutch Gap Canal, be correct, that noted enterprise will not have proved so great a failure after all. Your correspondent, with the Army of the James will keep you posted In regard to the matter, however. . The rebels, who have a 60-pounder Whitworth gun stationed opposite the headquarters of the sth Corps, amused themselves yesterday by shelling the Avery House. They fired about a hundred rounds, but, as they were unable to hit their mark, they finally desisted, thinking, no cloubt, that their trou ble was “love’s labor lost.” . The detachment of substitutes which left Phila delphia on Tuesday last, In charge of . Capt. Harry Bockafellar, arrived here to-day. While they were proceeding to the oars two of them left the ranks, and, burying themselves In the midst of a crowd, escaped, although they were fired at by the guard and one of them slightly wounded L Anotherjumped. off the train between Philadelphia and Baltimore 1 whiie it was moving at the tote of twenty-ftve miles an hour, and, rolling under the wheels, was -ly killed, Three more escaped In the d&rknesa of The night at the Baltimore depot, but the remainder of the. company, IST in number, although many of them made perslstentefforts to eseape, wore brought safely to City Point.
