TitE MONROE DOCTRINE.
A masterly paper on this subject will be
found in THE PRESS this morning. The
writer, one of the bravest and most ex
pwrienced officers in the American navy—
having served with distinction in S most
• edfficult post all through the rebellion—
treats the Monroe doctrine from a stand
-I;mila that will be new to many and in
teresting to all. There is no question
upon which the designing demagogue
or the superficial thinker is so accustomed
to expand, and yet there is none that re
mires more caution, reflection, and experi
ence in its examination. The facts pre
suited by our correspondent show that,
however much we may regret and de
nounce the attempt , of Louts NAPOLEON
to hold and subjugate Mexico, it is a very
different matter to organize this grief and
anger into an armed intervention against
his usurping occupation. That enterprise
'Would have to be in accordance with the
conseqttences of such interference ; and we
would be worse than fools if we refused to
consider these consequences. It is an
amusing study to a practical man to watch
the anxiety of some of our Democratic
friends about the Monroe doctrine. They
tire sorely troubled lest Mr. SEWARD in
tends to give it up, and one of their organs,
the busy gossip of the New York Express
(late a bitter Whig), whose partisanship is
so transparent that all men laugh at the
complacency that supposes it is not
understood by the people, deliberately
charges THE PRESS with fabricating the
late news of the defeat of the Republic
to help Mr. SEWARD in this surrender ! All
these charlatans were horror-stricken at the
blood and death of the late war, and their
daily bread still seems to depend upon
incessant clamors against the debt accumu
lated to carry it on. Of course, they expect
to make a new war and to prosecute it
without the loss of a single life or the cost
of a single dollar I And these are the
teachers, and would be the guides' and
governors of a great country.
THE NATIONAL FINANCES
The Secretary of the Treasury presents a
favorable report of the condition of the Na
tional finances on the 31st of August. Du
ring the preceding month the principal of
the National debt was increased only $205,-.
000, wbile the interest on the debt has been
decreased nearly $231,000. Nearly $45,-
500,000 in coin, and nearly $43,000,000 in
currency, are now in the Treasury, and the
suspended requisitions amount only to a little
over $2,000,000. The receipts from hi
ternal revenue for the last two months,
have averaged nearly $1,000,000 per day=
a /pm that should be amply sufficient to de
fray all the em)enses of the Government—
which would leave us, on the present basis
of taxation, a sum equal to our entire re
ceipts from customs, to be applied to the
liquidation of the public debt. Thus it be
comes more and more clearly evident that
the American people are abundantly able
and willing to maintain the burden of the
interest of the National debt, and even to
pay it off at no distant period. As it is pro
bable an amendment will be made to the
Constitution, authorizing export duties, and
as important reforms will soon be inaugu
rated in our internal-revenue system, we
may naturally soon expect large accessions
to our revenue, without a corresponding
increase in the burdens of taxpayers.
"'" I ' '
Our readers will find in the report of the
address delivered by Hon. WILLIAM GIL
PIN, which we publish this morning, an in
teresting sketch of the physical geography
of the Western portion of our continent,
and of the mineral wealth of our new ter
ritories. They are traversed by great au
riferous mountains which, wherever fully
explored and developed, have yield
ed abundant supplies of the precious
metals. This period of our national
history is peculiarly propitious for
the. settlement of that valuable por
tion of our magnificent domain. Thou
sands of the adventurous spirits, whose re
sistless energies were recently employed in
crushing the rebellion, are seeking new
fields of labor, and directing their attention
to our gold and silver mining districts.
Nevada is already a well-established State.
Colorado will doubtless adopt the new Con
stitution, and apply for admission into the
- Union in December next. Thousands of
miners have found their way up to Idaho
and Montana. The emigrant and freight
trains that have passed west from
Kansas over the plains during the
past summer have far exceeded in
number and importance any similar move
ment ever made in our country on the
Pacific slope. The Central Pacific Rail
way is nearly finished from Sacramento to
imnotstown, a point only a short distance
west from Nevada. The management of
the eastern section of this great national
highway has been placed in such energetic
hands that its completion to Colorado in a
very few years may confidently be antici
pated. Meanwhile the organization of
gold and silver mining companies is
rapidly progressing. The remarkable suc
cess of some the original enterprises of
this character—the numerous . favorable
reports of geologists and other scientific
observers, and the large yield of bullion
from the silver mines of Nevada and the
gold mines of Colorado, having attracted
the attention of many capitalists. The
column of American progress, with the
resistless energies supplied by the labor and
capital it represents, is pouring into our
new territories with unprecedented ra
pidity, and they will be converted into
flourishing, prosperous, and populous com
munities in a much shorter periOd than was
required for the development of any of the
old States.
It is gratifying to learn from an ex
perienced observer that the Climate of the
new home of many of our citizens, though
differing in important respects from our
own, is eminently favorable, and that the
natural capacities of the soil will enable it
to maintain an immense population.
Agriculture in the new territory will pre
sent very novel features to eastern farmers.
Immigration then becomes the one great
secret of the fertility of arable laud, and pre
cedents must be sought in the culture of Asia,
the Valley of the Nile, or the customs pre
wailing in Mexico. But in Utah and New
deate°, the peculiarities of the system re
.quired, are already well understood, and
they can undoubtedly be immensely im
proud II the genius, Perseverance, and
industry •of the farmers of the Atlantic
States. As all agricultural products find
ready sale at extravagant prices among the
miners, agriculture is really much more
profitable in the Western Territories than
in any other portion of our country, and
will probably continue to be so for many
years, as a remunerative home market will
always be supplied by the men engaged in
.the development of their mineral resources.

A Frightfal Tragedy In Dedham, Mass.
A WOMAN KILLS Hut IItr.3I3AND AND DA.ITOIITEIc
AND THEN SHOOTS HERSELF—INSANITT THE
A horrible tragedy occurred in South iDed
ham Mass., a quiet village near Boston, on
Friday. The Advertiser, of the latter city
gives the following account Of it:
"A trageft of the most melancholy nature
occurred -early - yesterday morning, in the
quiet village of South Dedham. Mrs. Marston,
the wife of Dr. Carlos Marston murdered her
husband and daughter by shooting them with
a receiver, and then turning the fatal weapon
against herself, committed suicide. The cir
cirmstances of the tragic event, which there
appears to be no doubt was induced by the in
sanity of the unfortunate, wife and mother,
are as follows :
"For some time past the friends of Mrs.
Marston, who has been much out of health,
have detected in her movements evident
symptoms of insanity, but not until within the
past week have fears of serious consequences
been entertained. Latterly it had been thought
that shemight destroy herself or injure others,
and fears of this neture were communicated to
Dr. Marston onThursday, by a lady who re•
sided in the family, the lady remarking to the
Doctor that his wife would kill him before the
next, morning, if he was not on his guard.
"Yesterday morning, about one o'clock, Mrs.
Marston became unusually restless, and left
her own room to go and lie down with her
daughter, Cora a beautiful girl, about ten
years of age. Dr. Marston went to the room
of the lady above mentioned and informed
her of this fact, cautioning her to keep the
door of her room locked, which she did, and
shortly went to sleep again. She was awaken
ed about an hour afterward by the discharge
of a pistol, and leaving her room, went to the
staircase to learn the cause. Here she met
Mrs. Marston, with a pistol in her hand, who
threatened to blow her brains out if she did
not return to her room. The lady retired to
her chamber, but left it again as soon as she
Could safely do SO, and went to the other part
of the /tense to arouse the family living there.
." While gone on this mission the lady, heard
several other shots fired, and when the alarm
ed neighbors reached the fatal rooms, they
witnessed a scene of the most heartrending
horror. Mrs. Marston had shot her daughter
through the head and back had discharged a
bullet through the heart of her husband, and
completed the sad tragedy by shooting herself
twice through the body. The lifeless forms of
the husband and wife-lay upon the bed in the
room which they had formerly occupied, and
the dead body of the daughter was found upon
the floor in another room. The deaths of all
three bad apparently been nearly instantane
ous. Dr. Fogg was summoned as speedily as
possible, but on examination of the bodies he
found that all the victims were beyond the
reach of surgical skill. When the room was
entered, after the commission of the - Murder
and suicide, a powerful odor of chloroform
was discovered, which with other circum
stances, leads to the belief that Mrs. Marston
had first stupefied her husband with chloro
form. and obtained possession of the pistol
and the necessary cartridges.
"Dr. Marston was about 40 years of age, and.
came from New Hampshire, having resided in
South Dedham about three months. He was a
skilful physician, courteous, and genial in
social intercourse, and was highly esteemed
in the community."

Attempted Mutiny in the Illinois Peni
tentiary.
[From the Chicago Journal, August 30.3
There was a bold attempt made at the Illi
nois State Penitentiary, at Joliet, to carry out
a mutinous plot to enable the eehiviets to
escape from that institution, last week. The
plot was originally concocted between a man
named Smith and certain outsiders, friends of
three convicts, to secure whose release he was
to receive a handsome sum of money. The
first thing in the programme was for Smith
to obtain employment as a guard in the peni
tentiary, in which he succeeded a few weeks
ago, and had been acting as a general guard
up to the time of the discovery of the plot.
This man was to arrange the manner of
escape fOr the Convicts, one of which was a plan
for them to scale the wall while he was on it
as guard. This was attempted a week ago last
Friday, the three convicts whom he was espe
cially interesting in releasing having succeed
ed in getting upon the wall; the unfaithful
guard firing upon them four times, but being
careful not to hit them. Two of tile convicts
succeeded in getting over the wall, bet an
other guard, who was not in the secret, tired
upon them from another portion of the wall,
kitlimr one of the convicts, named Strong, sen
tenced from St. Clair county,. the others were
pursued, caught and taken back. These Mr
eurost2lloss arouSed the suspicions of Warden
Buchmaster and Deputy Warden Simonds,
that the guard, Smith, was playing false, and
plans were accordingly laid to watch and de
teet him. As a pretended mark of favor, he
was promoted to the position of night guard
in the cell-house, where he could have oppor
tunity to communicate freely with the prison
ers. A convict, who had no - previous know
ledge of the plot, was employed to gain
Smith's confidence, and to help "work up , ' the
affair. Smith bit at the bait eagerly and at once.
Another guard was concealed under the detec
tive convict's bedstead in the call, where he
laid three successive nights overhearing every
thing that passed between Smith and the con
vict. Smith, among other things, told the con
vict that he was engaged in maturing two
plans by which to raise a general mutiny and
stampede. The first was to enable the pri
soners to get possession of the armory, after
telling them where the key was concealed
the officers of the Penitentiary were then all
to be shot, and the prisoners liberated. The
other plan was to secure his restoration to his
former position as guard on the wall, where
he always had eight or ten Fowled muskets
at his command. Leaving the lower door ap
proaching his tower on his wall unfastened,
the convicts were to rush up, seize the mus
kets, gag, and tie him (he having the gag and
rope all prepared),and then they were to pro
tect the escape of all the other convicts by
Shooting the remainder of the guard and
officers of the prison, In his private inter.
view with the detective convict, these he de
tailed as his own plans, and stated the amount
of money lie was to receive for it. He also
furnished the detective convict with a bottle
of aguafortis and a saw in the cell, with
which be was to make his way out and assist
the others.
On. the third night after overhearing these
plans and confessions, and the mode of pro
ceeding against him having been fully ma
tured by the officers of the Penitentiary, the
concealed guard gave a preconcerted signal
from his hiding place wider the detective con
vict's bed, whereupon iMputy. Waraon ii
nionds entered the cell-house, and, in sight of
Smith, unlocked the Cell and brought out the
concealed guard. Instantly appreciating the
circumstances of his detection, Smith fell
down in a spasm of terror and consternation.
lie was taken to the solitary prison, where,
after the recovery of his bewildered senses, he
immediately made a clean breast of the whole
matter to the Deputy Warden, confessing
everything as above narrated, With several
additional particulars, indicating that the
fellow had planned and was about execating a
plot that would, If he had not been thus for
tunately detected, have led to one of the most
fearful scenes of massacre and horror known
in the annals of Sanguinary mutinies, em
bracing the- slaughter of all the officers and
guards of the prison, and letting loose upon
the usually quiet city of Joliet and vicinity_
an array of between FAX and Seven hundred Ot
the most hardened desperadoes extu.nt.
Smith was next day taken before Justice
Benjamin Richardson, of Joliet, who, in de
fault of bail, had him committed to the county
jail of Will county.

One Dionth's Working of their
Brutality Did,
2,993 Deaths in August-4n Average
of Nearly 100 Por Day.
HOW THESE DEAD WERE TAKEN AWAY--
HOW THEY WERE BURIED.
WasurNoroN, Sept. 2.—The trial of Wirz was
resumed to-day.
0. S. Belcher testified that he had served in
the 16th Illinois Cavalry, and was a prisoner at
Andersonville from the Bth of March until Sep
tember, 1864; he thought that Captain Wirz
assumed command about the Ist of April ; mi
one occasion Wire came into the stockade,
:when a crippled man, walking on crutches,
approached him and asked to go outside ; the
request was refused, and the cripple said he
would rather be shot than stay there; the wit
ness soon heard Wirz halloo to the sentinel,
and told the man if he did not go back he
Would shoot him; the man did not return,
when the sentinel fired and shot him in the
jaw ; the cripple was known by the name of
"Chickamauga Wire afterwards threatened
toshOot the other men if they did not go away;
on another occasion, while the prisoners were
being divided into squads of nineties and hun
dreds, one of the men, owing to sickness, did
not fall in, and Wirz threatened to shoot, and
did shoot him • the ball went through the
meets hat ; prisoners were kept in the sun all
day, and were not allowed to procure water.
If the guard could not give a satisfactory ac
count of one of their missing numbers, they
were deprived of their rations ; this was the
case for three days early in July; there was
not sufficient room in the prison, scarcely
enough for men to stand upon; the Emits
were enlarged on the north side ; there were
forty-two thousand prisoners there at one
time ; he bad heard Wirz say he was killing
more Yankees than those who were serving at
the front, and had seen twenty-five or thirty
men shot over the dead line, and others fired
into who were not Ore, the dead line,
Cross•examined . by the defence:—Q. Were
there not desperadoes there, men who would
steal and commit other offences, and was not
the cripple to whom you referred one of theml
A. There were troublesome characters there,
but I don't know whether the man belonged to
them; I don't think that a cripple on a crutch
was a good man to steal. [Laughter.] During
a further examination the witness spoke of a
man at whom the sentinel fired.
Q. Did you see the ball hit him ! A. A man
must have very good eyes to see the ball when
it strikes a man. (Laughter.) The witness
gave various instances of men being shot,' One
was shot while he was in his tent, and for
merely stretching his arm over the dead line,
and another was shot at for trading over the
line ; he had heard. Capt. Wirz order the senti
nel to shoot the cripple; some of those shot
were killed, and others taken to the hospital.
:James 14. Davidson testified that he was a
member of the 4th lowa Cavalry, and taken as
a prisoner to Andersonville on the Bth of
March. He described the filthy condition of
the prison, and the great mortality among the
prisoners ; for a week he drove the dead
wagon; sometimes twenty-flee Men were
thrown into it like wood; on the return he
would bring wood or rations in the smile cart; ,
he had seen rebels with blankets, shoes, and
shirts on, sent thither by the Sanitary Corn
mission for the use of our men; Captain Wire,
he knew, made a breakfast on some of the
crackers, cheese, and dried beef sell - tilted:6 for
our prisoners; he had seen four or five hun
dred boxes at the depot, with supplies ; they
were marked U. S. it was a common
thing for men to be put in the chain-gang;
a man died in the chain-gang with an iron
collar around his neck; he had seen
the hounds; there were two kinds—catch
dogs and bull-terriers; one of the dogs
badly, tore the fiesh.from a man>s legs; while
another man was hanging up his clothes
which he had washed. to dry, one of the pieces
blew over the dead-line; lie stepped beyond
the line to get the piece, when he was fired
upon and shot in the breast; another man had
reached beyond the dead-line for some crumbs
of bread, when he was shot in the head ; Wire
shot a man a short time after lie assumed com
mand of the prison; the latter was sick, lying
on the ground, and asked Wirz something,_
when Wire shot him; Wire remarked that he
was killing more damned Yankees there than
Lee was at Richmond ; this was said in Au
gust ; Wirz was at the time with the witness
in thegrave-yard, in the wagon with the dead
men) the witness had seen MHO. starved to
death; food was so scarce atone - time that
some of the men picked up particles of food
that bad already passed through the system.
On cross-examination by the defence, the
witness said the grave-yard comprised twenty
five or thirty acres, and when he left Ander
sonville, on the 11th of September last, it was
about two-thirds full. •
The court, at one, took a recess till two
o'clock.
- .
On reassembling the cross-examination of
Davidson was resumed. He had never seen
Captain Wirz shoot more than one man; the
grave-diggers were Union soldiers.
By the court; The dead were buried about
two feet and a half deep; some were buried
with, and some without clothing; he had
never seen any of the dead stripped before
they were buried; men were buried in
trenches; on one occasion one hundred and
fifty bodies in a single trench.
Captain T. H. Wright and Colonel Panning,
formerly in the rebel service, taStiffell as to
the signatures of General Winder and Captain
Wirz to a consolidated return for August last;
which was exhibited to them.
Major Homer, Associate Judge Advocate,
was sworn, and testified that he obtained the
paper from the chief having custody of rebel
Papers at the War Department. The paper
was read in evidence, as follows :
"Consolidated. Return for Confederate States
Military Prison, Camp Sumpter, Andersonville,
Georgia, for the month o.2lzigust,lBl4 : Prisoners
on hand on the last of August, 1854—1 n camp,
twenty-nine thousand nine hundred and
eighty-five;" in hospital, one thousand six
hundred and ninetpthree ; total, thirty-one
thousand six hundred and seventy-eight. Re
ceived from various places durino , August,
three thousand and seventy-eight ; recaptured,
four 3 total, three thousand and eighty-two ,•
making in the aggregate thirty-four thousand
seven hundred and sixty. Died during the
month of August, two thousand nine hundred
and ninety-three ; sent to other prisons,
twenty-three; - exchanged, twenty-one; es
caped, thirty •; making three thsasand and
sixty-one, of ull of which there areplin the 31st
of August, in camp, twenty-nine thousand
four hundred and zeventy-three ; in hospital,
two thousand two hundred and twenty ; total,
thirty-one thousand six hundred and ninety
three.
The same complaint has to be made against
the carelessness and inefficiency of the guard.
Of the thirty prisoners, eleven escaped white
on parol of honor not to escape as long as they
would be employed to work outside. The ba
lance of the nineteen escaped, some in bribing
the sentinels with greenbacks, some simply
walking off from the guard while returning
from the place where the tools are deposited
at night that are used on the stockade in the
daytime; perhaps twenty-dve more escaped
during the month, but were taken up by the
dogs before the daily return was made out,
and for that reason they are not on the list of
escaped nor recaptured, That only four were
recaptured is owing to the fact that the guard
nor the officers of the guard reported a man
escaped. The roll-call in the morning showed
the man missing, but he was too far gone to be
tracked. As wehave no general court-martial
here, all such offences go unpunished, or
nearly, so. The worthlessness of the guard
forces is on the increase day by day.

The Late Murder In Pitteaurg—The
Mystery Still Unsolved.
As yet the Mystery Surrounding the late
murder on Boyd's MU remains,unvelled, and
quite as little is known at this time concern
ing it as on the morning of its discovery. The
statements of parties concerning the returned.
soldier, named George Geiger, leading to the
belief that he was the murdered man, and.
that two brothers, named Anderson, were
his murderers, obtained additional credence
yesterday forenoon, by Colonel Schoonma
ker, of the regiment to which Geiger be
longed, discovering, as lie thought, a stri.
king resemblance between him (Geiger)
and. the photograph of the 'deceased. This
was strenvthened somewhat by the Colo
nel's positive assertion, and demonstration of
the fact by corn parison, that the handwriting
of the name George Geiger on the register of
the National Hotel was that of Geiger, whom
he had known well. Sergeant Bell, who had
been seen. In Geiger's company, was taken in
custody, and permitted to make a detailed
statement of his association with him. Going
back several days he finally came to Wednes
day evening, 23d inst. (that preceding the
Morning of the discovery of the body.) Ile
stated that ho did not see him that night, but
met him on Thursday morning. This, it was
thought, Could not be so strong was time im
pression that Geiger had been murdered on
Wednesday night. Bell insisted that lie was
not mistaken, and stated that Captain Work,
who was in the city, had seen Geiger within a
day or two. So the matter rested till in the
afternoon, when Captain Work appeared at
the Mayor's office and put an end to all further
speculation. He had seen Geiger on the streets
within a few hours.
This num Geiger has acted very strangely,
we may say foolishly, giving much unneces
sary trouble. Rather pleased at the notoriety
attached to him by lus being taken for the
murdered man, instead of coming forward and
putting an end - to the supposition eOneerning
him, he chose to have the delusion kept up,
- and, it is said, jeeringly alluded to the matter
amongst acquaintances. lie even mingled
with the crowd in Fifth street, yesterday, and
looked at the photograph of' the murdered
man, at the same time well aware that the
Mayor and his pollee were endeavoring to olh
lain trace of him, but his fancy was pleased,
and he determined to gratify it. We do not
admire his taste.
- . -
The authorities; therefore, have not the
slightest clue to the murder. Efforts to ferret
it Out will be continued with energy and per
severance, and we trust with eventual sue
cess.—Pittsburg Dispatch.
DEPARTURE OP MAJOR GENERAL JOHN P.
HATCH.—Major General John P. Hatch, com
manding this military district since the occu
pation of the city by . the Union forces, as will
be seen by General Orders in our paper this
morning, has turned over the command to
General Bennett, and left yesterday afternoon,
on board the steamer Canonicus, for Hilton
Head. As the Canonicus was leaving a salute
was fired in honor of the General by the
United States vessels in the harbor. We learn
that it is his intention to proceed to New
York on board the steamer Illinois, which
leaves Hilton Head next Wednesday.—Chartes

Your theatres arc naie at full work, which to
the actors is play, in this city. The ice was
broken by Mr. Fox, who, having completely
remodelled and improved the New American
Theatre, in Walnut street, first known as
Welsh's National CirCUS, and alllncquently as
the Continental, opened it with a good com
pany, having the actor-author, James Pilgrim'
as stage manager, and has done very well,
hitherto. Next, Clarke and Booth, having im
proved Walnut-street Theatre, by enlarging
the auditorium, removed the tip-top gallery,
putting In new seats, providing entirely new
scenery, wardrobe, and other properties,
opened it on Saturday week with the 'comedy
of "Every Body's Friend," in which Major
Wellinglon ds B01:113, played by Mr. Clarke,
showed what an excellent player he is. On
Monday, at the New Chestnut-street Theatre,
the autumn and winter season was commenced;
" She Stoops to Conquer," with Miss Kate Reig
nolds as Violonte, being performed. Lastly,
Mrs. John Drew, queen regnant at her New
Arch-street Theatre, commenced the season
there by producing " The School for Seandal,a
and promising to appear in standard comedies
for a fortnight. We now have four as hand
some and commodious theatres in Philadel
phia as can be found in any city in the Union.
Mr. Clarke takes his benefit at the Wal
nut-street Theatre this evening, playing Doc
tor 011apod in "The Poor Gentleman," and the
part of gYonothy 2bodles in "The Teedles." This
last personation, it is announced, is "by re
quest." We have a small opinion of the taste
which could delight in Ibodles. When the late
W. E. Burton played that character the whole
play was given, without Mutilation, and the
drunken scenes were kept under. But, as Mr,
Clarke plays the piece, it is considerably
"cut;" and, in fact, from first to last, little else
but the drunkenness of Toodies is presented to
the audience. Are ladies and gentlemen to
laugh, when it is represented On the stage, at
what would disgust them if they saw it, in re
ality, in the street? We hope, very sincerely,
never again to see Mr. Clarke's personation,
however truthful, of helpless inebriety, as Too-
tiles. We hope, too, that he will avoid the cut
ting down of any drama to make any one cha
racter more prominent than the author in.,
tended. Mr. Clarke to-night will personally
express his grateful sense of the patronage
which, so far, has sustained him as lessee.
" The Marble Heart" will be played to-morrow
evening, and "The Cricket on the Hearth" on
Wednesday. These will show the general
strength of the stock_company. "The Dead
Heart" is in preparation, ' and Mrs. D. - F. --
Bowers, so deservedly popular in this city,
will commence an engagement here this day
week. Mr. Barton Hill, Mr. H. G. Griffiths,
and Mr. Owen S. Fawcett, all belonging to the
regular company, will perform with her.
Already, when noticing her first appearance,'
and since, we spoke in terms of strong eulogy
of Miss Rate Reignolds as a clever comedienne.
She has established herself as a favorite here,
by appearing in a succession of characters—in
comedy and sensation plays. Her strength is
best shown in comedy, for which she possesses
many qualifications—such as undoubted in
telligence, a good. voice, fine figure, handsome
face, and graceful action. We were in hopes
that the new play, called " Piccolino," under
lined for this evening, would be annttractive
novelty, but find that it will net be performed,
This evening (following the example of Ma
dame Malibran and Miss Charlotte Cushman),
Miss Reignolds will play Romeo, to Miss Corde
hia capelle , s Juliet tommorrow evening she
will play Camille. " The Sea of Ice" is pro;
mised for Wednesday, and the fair lady, whose
ability we very - frankly recognize, will have
her benefit on Friday evening. Next week
Miss Helen Western will be the "star" at this
theatre.
Sheridan's " School for Scandal," first acted
nearly ninety years ago, when its author was
only twenty-six, has kept the stage better than
any other comedy written i'a the latter half of
the last century, Mrs. John Drew, ever since
she became manager, has made her own first
courtesy to her audience, each season, in the
character of Lady Teazle, the heroine of the
play. She looks and plays this part better than
any other lady now on the stage, which, is pro
bably the reason why she likes it. We are
always fond of what we do well. There is an
other reason, a managerial reason, why she
should open her season with this play : this is,
because it enables her to introduce all the lead
ing memberS Of her company to the audience
in one play, on the same evening. There are
seventeen char aeters in the cast, besides three
servants, and every one of these has some
thing telling to say or do. A line feeling of
the ridiculous smiles throughout this comedy.
The plot has little interest, but the situations,
at once both natural and striking, are happily
contrived. In it is a perpetual play of wit
that never tires, but seems, like running wa
ter, to be kept fresh by its own flow. Its
chief defeat is a superfluity of wit, The dia
logue is a continued sparkle of polish and
point. Even Trip, that scamp of a young gal
lant's servant, has several good things to say
to Moses, the money-lender, As for the sarcas
tic conversation of the Scandalous College, it
is brilliant, to a degree. In short, as Moore
. aid of it, the entire comedy is a sort of El
Doratlp of wit, where the precious metal is
thrown about by all classes, as carelessly as if
they had not the least idea of its value. We
may dismiss Mrs. Drew's Lady Teazle by Say
ing that She was tastefully as well as hand
somely dressed, looked very handsome,
and played up to her looks. The other
ladies, mostly appropriately costumed, play
ed, on the - whole, better than the gentle
men —Mrs.C. Henri particularly distinguishing
herself in Mrs. Candour. Mr. F. F. Plackay
gave us the best Sir Peter Teazle we have,seen
for some time. He played the part quietly
and intelligently, but not without spirit, and
showed best in the screen scene, and the finale.
He was well dressed, too—except that- he
omitted the lace fall-cravat, which was a most
essential portion of the costume of the year
1777—the period of the play. Mit, as far as we
noticed, nearly all the gentlemen wore the
balf-inch neckties of the present clay—which
is an anomaly. Mr. Wallis, who was an excel
lent Sir Oliver, and Mr. Fitzgerald, as Rowley, ,
alone wore the lace-cravat. The part of Charles .
Surface was taken by Mr, McKee Rankin, a
performer new to this city, who, apart froth
the inevitable difficulty of a first appear
ance, played judiciously—if not quite with
the abandon which brings out the idiosyn
°racy of the character. Mr. Owen Marlowe
played Sir Benjamin Backbite like a gentleman.
Mr. Stuart Robson's Crabtree was not success
ful. His perriquier had provided him with a
wig, which made his forehead appear as if it
had been recently scalped, and he spoke
throughout with 'a strong nasal twang. Mr.
Tilton was what may be called slow, as Joseph
Surface. A gentleman of fortune and of plea
sure, who is supposed to move in fashionable
society, who, though not a bookman is a
scholar, who even sets up for a lady-killer
ought to exhibit a certain refinement in his
manner and decided elegance, however elms
toned downto his assumed sobriety of charac
ter. Instead of this, Mr. Tilton presented trs
with rather an unpolished person, at,
tired like a country schoolmaster of -
the time, as if he, alone, who was
bent on seducing Lady Teazle and winning
Maria, could not purchase a laced coat, He
wore a white vest of the present fashion, had
a half-inch ribband neck-tie, had his hair un
powdered, (contrary to the fashion and his
station,) and wore a black moustache t Shade
of Sheridan 1.--Joseph Surface with a moustache
and witbOut - powderod hair, Ben:cool the other
actors were almost as much out of the fasinois ;
—but they were of less importance, while Ja

Grove, a few miles out of the city, on the,

present will be conveyed from the railroad
station, on the south side, near Thirty-first
and Market streets.
This evening, in Concert Hall, the Unknown
Glee Club, assisted by the American and Me'
zart Clubs, will give an original concert.
The Unknown Glee Club was formed upon
the battle•fleld'inthe recent rebellion, and the
members have organized themselves perma
nently, to continue the feeling of union gene
rated amid , the thunders of war, whistling
shells and bullets, and the clash of arms, but
now made more perfect in harmony amid the
honorable peace they helped to win. They de•
serve success. There seems to be a laudable
effort on the part of American soldiers to
mingle In associations to perpetuate the good
feeling that sprung up among them during the
recent war for the Union.
At Concert Hall, where the Carter Zouave
Troupe and Young Female Brass Band give
one of their concerts every evening, Professor
Pepper's wonderful invention, entitled " Pro

The coal trade continues active, but prices
at retail are forced up more than the facts
seem to warrant. <The mines have done little
since July 15, wherithey were supposed to
have *BO,OOO as a reserved fund. This is about
gone, and traders supplying the mines are
getting to be cautious about giving them
credit. The stock of coal in the hands of the
leading companies is sufficiently large to war
rant the belief that the . top point has bean
seen. They arceertainly high enough to fully
compensate the miner, the railroads and the
middle-men.
The coal operators 'have received a circular
from the Reading Railroad Company, repair•
ing a release to be signed for all losses that
may accrue in the transportation of chestnut
and pea coal over their road, under the penalty
of an additional charge of twenty-Hve cents a
ton transportation. It is alleged that the fine
coal is lost by transportation through the
openings in the car. This circular has caused
some excitement among the trade here. They
seem to think that a transporting company
offering to transport a commodity ought to
provide the necessary tight ears to transport
it without loss either to themselves or the ope
rators.
A general meeting of the creditors of Messrs.
Ketchum, Son, t Co. was held on Friday; when
the statement of the affairs of the house to•
suited less favorably than was anticipated
from current rumor. The cash means to be
disbursed at once is equal to fifty cents on the
dollar, and the contingent extra dividend pro
posed to be paid in twelve months is only ten
cents, making altogether sixty cents on about
four millions of indebtedness. It is thought
that most of the creditors will promptly ac
cept this settlement, to save litigation anti, the
e.xpenSeS (and possible depreciation of securi
ties) of a prolonged trusteeship. One of the
creditor banks in Hartford, whose president
supposed his balance with the house to be
about stioo,eix), - finds the cashier of the bank a
defaulter for *900,000, and the New York balance
on ly 4100,1100. The wrong doing had been sys
tematically concealed by false representations
on the books of the bank of the undrawn
balance in New York.
The quantity of coal cleared from Cumber
land over the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad,

The quantity shipped from Cumberland via

In the month of August the marine losses

The total marine disasters since December

was three hundred and three vessels, valued,
