Fall softly o'er her mousey tane, As soft as summer light. Her white feet cannot fly thee more She sleeps from earthly pain. Fall gently o'er her slumber then, O mournful winter rain! Tremble o'er the rustling leaves (,It many a funeral bloom! For there the shining amaranth weaves Its sweetness for her tomb. (o kiss the rose to life anew Whose fading lips would faint: But softly still thy whispering do, 0 mourntul winter rain! Float softly down on silver wings, As softly and as bright As her young brow once loved to lave Thy summer, rare delight!

No murders, no, snieides of any cin eC ouen.ce, no elopements nor Peno+ational divorce cases are c,'urring at present, and for the want of this rc qni-ite material to make a letter Interest ilg in tlhese degenerate days, I fear mine will be deemed tare and spiritless. Now, if I lived in Chicago. I could without the least difficulty dish up a spicy budget of sensatins for yousr readers every week, but we are an old fogy set of individ ntal here- not at all fast, you know-a moral, re liucins, church-going community, and each loves lis neighbor as himself, in obedience to the scrip tural it junction to that eflect T'he iee ,blckeade still exists in front of our city, though by the Indomitable energy of Captain Jo. Brown, president of the Wiggins Ferry Company, a channe: for the passage of the ferry boats has been cut from the foot of spruce street to a point opposite 'ine street, and railroad passengers and baggage are now transferred with little difficulty. At the nul er end of the city the river is still open and the ferry boatsmake regular trips to and from Venice. The steamer Clara Dolsena, owned by George Pegram and Capt. Wn. Wm . .l-nry, was totally desiro)ed by fire last night, about 7 o'clock, near the foot of Lesperance street. On her way to the di rks. several days since, she was caught in the ice gorse, and at the time of burning laid about 100 teet from the shore. The fire engines were promptly on hand, bat owing to the distance from the shore to the boat the efforts of the fire men were unavailtig. The origin of the fire Is at present unknown, hut as the watchman and his pen were aboard at the time, it is probable some light may be thrown on the subject to-day. The ('lara was nearly ten years old having bIeen built in 1,F,. Ste was insured for $15,oot inCincinnati and lP'ltborg, lilees. In the snmusement line, vario'a attractions are offered this week. At DeBar's Opera House, Mr. Frank Mayo, a new candidate for public favor, made his first alpearance before a St. Louis audience last niuht, as IlHatlet. The audience was not large, but Mr. Mayo was twice called before the curtain and warmly applauded, and before his brief engagement terminates he will, doubtless, lie greeted with large as well as enth, ieastic audiences. He will appear to-night as li'ich.lfen, and during the week as Badyjsr, in "*The Streets of New York." While speaking of this house I would respectfully suggest 16 Mr. IDeBar the propriety of procuring the services of some person possessing a few of the attributes of a gentleman as doorkeeper. The present one is discourteous, ignorant and Impudent. and even ladles have complained of his rudeness at the l,, or. The other officers of the house are onil teormly polite and obliging. At tie Varieties M'lle Fanny Janauneh.k made her first alipear:ance last night as Me,-'-i , sup ported by a fir.t elass German company. The au dience was large, and composed principally of our first class German citizens. Hter rendition of the character was excellent, and she won much ao plause. To-night she will appear as Adrienne La ( ,orrear, and during her engagement will play Attrtie ,'nt"rt, Jtcorah the Jewress, Marianne, " Love and Intrigue." and other characters. Adsmral Mcinime. will lecture to-night on the "' ('ruise of the Alabama," at Mercantile Library Hall. A grand exhibition for the poorof the city took place last night at the Skating Rink, and was largely attended. When called open to enjoy themselvre for so worthy an object, our citizens invartably give a hearty and substantial response. The Olympic had a crowded hose last night, and the msanagers are highly deserving of it. The pantonmime of the " Magic Plate" is on the bills for this week, and that. together with the excellent singing and dancing, and the startling treare act oh ~bhsfee and Whitney, is sure to till the coutlers (if Messrs.

The call was insed for the purpose of giving a public condemnation of the revolutionary course of Congress, naming as speakers, Seasto. Doolit tie, Judge Thorman, John Quincy Adams sad others. In response to this, the great hall was Alled to overflowing, and if anything of a local character is needed to record a judgment against radical arm, now so rampant in the Iggislative halls of the country, the sense of this meeting would furnish abundant evidence. The usual decoration of flags. banners,. etc.. as well as a fine band of music discoursing " na tional " airs, (if there are any now) and all the other paraphernalia of a pnbliz meeting were obh servable, and one of the resolutions read thus, viz : " 1.'I ;e'rcl, That the object of this meeting ia not to nominate a president of the United States, or indicate directly or ind.rectly the name of any candidate for that ofce." The name of Andrew Johnson brought the au dience to their feet, and their cnthusiasm was al most uncontrollable, until the chairman re 'quested that the ordinary rules governing similar assembleges might be observed.

It is proposed by law to comtpel the Supreame Court to dismiss the appeal of McCardle, and to make all similar appeals to the Supreme Court itm possible.

If we were to accept 'hese .t gular ravings after broa I esoutiers and rus tit lies as indicating a general fe-Ilig eriateat In the modern female mind, it would not raise our opinion of the sex.

T'hey represent the com plin.ent which the feminine part of Etmltish hu tII at nt,.re pays to the masculine port-nn. We are presented at the opera with as mucoh of the torni of beauty as beauty can venture to dis,lay with a safe conscience, and in our studies or the club ro-,ms, where Mudie is in reqtusition, we can get glimpses of the most secret recesses of the lheart as it burns with toe tire of pas.-ion. and leaps itn fits sad starts into Ittsitijely scorchirn g i:al .e f g ilty alect; ~'n.

I received the above dispatch by the Mexican Gulf Bailroed. and Immediately replied as follows: HOTEL aD VaAL (Where Strangers Meat, Paris, (Ky.,) Jan. 1868. Georgy-Yours was forwarded me from New Orleans. You are In Ireland; stay there, and "If any man attempts to haul down the American flag" make one of your speeches on the spot. He'lt leave. Don't git on your bier ! Yours, SBURAD." I could then walt no longer, but as soon as the above a as gone, wrote immediately to the Louisi ana "Black and Tan" convention to adopt the following resolution, and W?,erras. A people calling themselves British er', have dared to exist and to maintain that " Prittania rules the waves;" and, whereas, the said Britishers kept a menagerie In which a lion and a unycorn were exhibited, contrary to the statue made and provided, and the piece of the Stait; and whereas, the promontory known as Ireland insisted on " Wearin' of the green". bsos gpainst the will of said lion and britishera, now tl.irefore, be it Itesolved, that we, In " Black and Tan" as retebled do anuthilait the statues of Great Britain f( called, confiscate the Bank of England, the Giant's Causeway of Ireland and the whisky of Scotland, and do hereby destroy the Brish lion aforesaid and make our man and brother. Geo. Fancy Strain, the lion in said aforesaid British liin's place. That we declare him military dic tator, president, chief bottle washer, scavenger and stage manager, and give him full powers and privileges, to "root hog or die." All of which was anon)monsly adopted without a dissecting voice. These resolution was printed, tied with red Hfniel, and forwarded by cable to George, who thereupon dispatched nme : SPAa PL.AC., SNCIe. ikar lead-The British government didn't i',ld me only long enough to Sit my name into the papers, as I threatened the British govern. tet with personal violents if they didn't let ne go. anm now going it!

Is anything more needed to confirm the blind public of George's talents in a peculiar direc tion than the above dispatches? I answer, no, sir! The Amer!can eagle, that for a while looked like a sick chicken after a heavy rain, has become a game cook, aye, more, a regular weather lock! And who has accomplished all this f I'll tell you!

Whiie 1 as waiting for another dispatch from (;eurgy, 111 relate a little of his buyhography. lie was born of wealthy but rather responasble parients while yet quite you.g, and he early de 'eloped a taste for base ball. He has been a Lase bswler ever since, judging by the tenor of his speeches. No orator has been able to say more in a eLort time time than he. After assist ing Alexander Selkirk to discover America, he set to work to organize a Congress, establish women's rights and right women, and after spend ing his fortune of $300,000,000,. which he had made in the indigo trade, in getting our republic on a paying basis, he started for England to give 'em horse railroads. But John Bull' head was too thick to see that George was only working for their own geed. sad as e failed to rail round Loa don, he went round railing against Londoners. Gebrge at last returned to his native land In time to avoid conscription in the late unpleasant neas beta en the North and South, and it was entirely owing to him that Gen. Grant was pro. vided with cgars enough to smoke out the South. After getting this little afsray between the two seo tions hxed up, he went into partnership with Mrs. Anthony and Mrs. Stanton, and went round exhi biting theirselves on the woman's rights plat. form. But the platform broke down and they broke up. George then went to ireland, the land of the free and the home of the brave; acted suspi ciously, as usunal ; got in jail, got in the newspa pera and then went to sending dispatches for a living. You will not.ce one peculiarity about them, and that is he never mentions himself. Georgie was always a modest urchin from his youth to his boyhood. I am just handed another dispatch: IusLAND, AFTERWARDS. 1 Ikr 1nrd-T have performed a great feet by pthrupirug It through ireland. I am now on tip te t, see things go heels over head.

It includes among its per sonages the accomplished and daring, but unfor tunate queen, Marguerite of Anjou, and also the formidable Insurrectionary leader, made famous by Mr. Forreat on the American stage, Jak Cade. The language is supposed to be that of oan Eng lish maid of honor, who attended Marguerite while she was in England. DosBEY ASD SoN. By Charles Dickens. New York: It. Appitton & Co., Ir9C. For sale in New Orleans by Krall & Dickey, 106 Canal street. This volume belongs to the cheap, but neat uniform edition of D)ickens's works, which Apple ton & Co. are bringing out. Theatrleals. Bad weather, cold snaps and all those napleas ant little ecccntricitles so frequently indulged in by the elements, (the polite clerk of the weather prerides in the office,) may be safely pronounced the theatrical manager's bane. The rising rain storm, the muddy pavements, the cold, whistling winds are each, in his watchful eye, so many ma licious:depredators upon the exchequer-vdillains ab.tracting coins from his money bags, and he the while powerless to obtain !acy satisfaction, or bring hisa emorselebs fees to account. For in stance, be may have becn to great expense in bringing out on a given evening some new piece which hisenterpriseshas enabled him to obtain. To compensate for the outlay and labor, as well as to stimulate. by rewarding his enterprise, a crowded house is a great requisite. But a cloud appearsin the east, no larger, at first than a man's hand, yet rapidly growing up into cumuli and black, ominous barks of clouds, the whole to conclude with a tremendous rain storm. Where, then. pray, is the reward of managerial virtu !? People stay at home, don't care a continental for the new piece so long as the storm lasts, and universal dis content reigns in the box office and greenroom. The past week has afforded such an instance. "Shanmus O'Brien" is an Irish drama, written by two authors widely experienced in blstrionsc mat ters, Fred. Maeder and Mr. McDonough. It was first brought out at Wallack's, two years ago, having been written expressly for Dan Bryant. '1 he piece took well-there is much about it that is novel and Ire-h ; so people crowded the theater every night, and " Shamus O'Brien" was pro. nounced a success, so that on learantg that it was to be presented on the St. Charles stage, anad under the auspices of Bryant, too, people might naturally have anticipated for it a brilliant ap proval. On Wednesday evening, accordingly, the piece was produced, and evidently at considerable expense. But the rain descended and the flood beat. As consequence, few were there. It was repeated on Thursday evenIng, with another small hoouse; and last evening, after its third represent ation, was withdrawn. The play deserved a bet ter appreciation,and ought to be reproduced before Bryant's departure. We like Bryant's conception of the Irish character, and wish him a success equal to his modesty. Jtflerson's audiences have, we think, fallen off somewhat during the week, excepting at his berefit on Friday night, when he played Wood* cock, iflzeppa and Dickory before an unusually crowded house. He repeated " Rip Van Winkle Iset evening, and is of to-day for Mobile, where he has an engagement. Tc-morrow evening Edwin Adams, of whom a review of last season furnishes us some very agreeable recollections, commences an engage ment, appearing in the "Dead hIeart." We cor dially bespeak for him a liberal patronage, assr ing our readers that his impersonations will be found chaste, elegant and easy in the extreme. The German opera has created a furore in musical circles. On Wednesday evening, the opening night. " Martha" was sung before a not too crowded house. But those who did go com municated the really unusunal attractions of the troupe to their friends, and the consequqence was that on the following evening "Faust" wasu saung before a very large, and a very appreciative, though critical, audience. Marie Frederic is said to be unsurpassed in the role of Marguerie. bbe certainly is incomparable, both in vose and· manner, fascinating allisteners by her euasy grace ard the absence o! all effort in her performances. The comnic opera "Stradella" was sung on Friday evening, and last night there was no per formance. " )er Freischutz," one of the grandest of Weber's compositions, is announced for to night. The "P'rayer" in tihs opera is one of the nmost plaintive, tuost touchingly beautufal gems in nil modern miene of its kind, and not to hear it w-u d indted be a uisappoiutment. The "Magic Flute" will be sung on Tuesday evening. At the Academy a fair songstress has been added during the week to the list of performers. Miss Amelio Garcia comes to nus Irom New York, with considerable reputation a. a vocalist. She as pretty and stylish, and onuht to prove a good card-if the expression is allowable-for the Academy. Her osining of " We P'arted by the fiver bide" is very p easing and accurate. Appropriately to the approaching adjournment of the sixly-day convention, the management of the Academy announce for to-morrow evening the "'ilack and Tan Bail," a tandango, supposed to con.memorate in burlesque the safety of the country, and other festivities conseq'ient upon the completion of ardnons legislative labors. The sane characters will be introd :ed a" tho'e who figured in the forier burlesqrlue. The pieces are wartten by one and the saie author.

IM6 Editor Depvblca Bere this resbes you by mal, y will dobeess h heard of theblody stnar oet Garlehvlile, which o meered ea . day mora .the 26th lst., resulting ip the killing of two white men and woending of lve others, and as Iave jst received a sttumet of all the facts from a young gentleman who acompasted the deputy sheriff from this place to the senes of setiones, I propose to give yoe a statement which may be relied on as corrent: Two Messrs. Dennis, brothers, residing some five miles from GarlandsviWle, had for some time been miaing thei hogs, and they ad reasons to believe that they were stolen by some negroes living near them, and accordingly sued out search warrant to have their premises searched for the stolen property. There being no constable or other os:er in the beat authorised to execute the warrant, one of the Densises was depatised by the magistrate for that purpose. Apprehending that he might have some dificulty in execsting the warrant alone, as there were a snmber of negroes on the premises, he summoned Lie brother and a Mr. Gibson, Mr. Land and Mr. Dier, to assist him, not only in searching the houses, but also to arrest the par. ties. They accordingly started out, early 8unday morning, before day. for that purpose. The ne groes, however, had got wind of it (for they have a complete system of espionage, whereby they get information of everything going on among the whites) and with guns, muskets, pistols, etc., they lay in ambush upon the roadside, and as Mr. Dennis and his posse rode along, not suspecting anything of the kind, they were suddenly halted, and before they could speak, were tired into by the negroes. at a distance of but a few paces. One of the Dennis boys was shot through, and he fell dead from his horse; Land and Gibson were wounded, the latter mortally, but made their escape. The other Dennis, mot willing to leave his bether. remsaled by his side, when the an. groes rushed on him and clubbed him with their guns, beating his head into a jelly, and otherwise aaglting his body with what was supposed to be a sabre or sword. The parties escaping of course spread the alarm. and a few young men about Garlandsville, anxious about the fate of the Dennis brothers, repaired im mediately to the scene. This, however, was after daylight, and they found the mangled bodies of the Dennis brothers lying side by side, as de scribed. Believing or suspecting that the negroes had locked themselves id a cabin near by, they bravely, but imprudently, rushed up from differ. ent directions to capture the entire party, when the negroes poured another effective volley Into them, wounding McCall, Fontalne and Lyles-the latter supposed to be mortally-but the negroes becomning alarmed, vamoosed, leaving two of their number wounded-one of whom was the ringleader-and they were captured, and have doubtless suffered the just penalty for their crimes, at the bands of the infuriated relatives of the de ceased and wouonded. By this time the alarm spread out through the country generally, and teitghbors gathered in. and up to this morning, I understand, nine of the outlaws have been cap tured, and have confessed their participation in the affair. Then the result of this, the second edition of John Brown's raid, (for this Is, to the war of races, what John Brown's raid was to the war of emancipation-the first fight) is as follows: Two killed outright; two mortally wounded; two severely wounded; one slightly wounded. Casualties to whites, seven. Three negroes killed; six captured. Thus, sir, we have some of the first fruits of radicalism, of Loyal Leagnueism. of political equality. A war of races is inevitable without a change in the legislation of the government-rn deed it may be said to have commenced. The ns groes are armed with guns and pistols, and are prepared to assert their supremacy, backed as they are by the thieves and adventurers who now sit m council and style themselves " the people of the State of Mliai+ppli." Will they not pause for one moment and check this reign of terror? soon to envelop the land in hood and flames. Aye, do not the Mygatts, Mo Kees and McKnights tremble already at the re sults of their hellish and nefarious designs; and McKnight, especially, cannot wash his hands of the blood of the Dennis Brothers, of McCall and of Lyles, and of Gibson, for he is the author and champion of Loyal Leagueism in Jasper county. He Is the tutor and guide of the poor deluded ne groes of this county that has already cost three of them their lives. Surely a day of retribution wil come, when Billy McK.ight will cry for the "rocks to fall on him." JAPas.

FrRTInTR INTERlSTTNG m~IsARCHER-aTIiN LATSBT I,IOVEnvERaE-TIIM ANCIEgNT CITY ALMOST L vEALED TO VIEW. To the Iditor of the Londe. Times: sir- Since my last commun'cation (in the Times of IDecember 21), I have received two reports from Lieut. Warren, R. E.. dated at Jerusalem, the 12th and 21st of December. He is proceeding vigorously with hi- researches. They divide them selves under three main heads: 1. The ancient double passage or tunnel running from the so-called ' Huldah-gats," in the souh wall of the Barnm. below the mosque of the Akse, up to the platform itself of the Harem. It has al ways been an object of anxiety to know whether this was a mere tunnel, or whether it had sub. sidiary passages branching from it either west or east. Mr. Warren seems ti have shown that none such exist. At the northern end of the tunnel, he has discovered on the east a vaulted chamber 17 feet equare, and on the wes' some unimportant aqueducts. fivre feet below the present surface, atid piobably connected with a tank beneath. These ducts he beaerves to be older than the Aks. mosque. The square chamber, I understand him t, say, is later than the te' que. The sides of the tunel at its lower end are about 16 feet of solid masconry, very rough on ia outer face. 2. In the Tyrop:cn valley, west of the south west corner of the Hararn. Hlere galleri-' are being driven to discover the depth and position of the native rock of the ravine immediately below the wall, and the position of the pier which sup, ported thte western aide of " Robinson's arch." The pier setems to have been reached; two curses of stone were fn sit, and I hope shortly to re ceive details of its construction, and of the rock of the galley between it and the wall. Mr. War ren sees ground for believing that this golley will be found to sweept round eastward and descend to the " Virgin's fount," and thus divide Moriah fromn Ophel-a fact never befre suspected. 3. The water supply of the ancient city. In this an advance has been made. RIesearchee at great depth in the upper part of the Tyrop:r 'o seem to point to the xctual existence of the brook which in the days of monarchy "overflowed through the midst of the land," and which Hlzee trah stopped ir ent ealed when the city wra be· sieged by renePrberib, (2 Chronicles xxxii, 4) This stream would appear to tbe still forcing its secient way along its old channel at the pro digous depth of nmore than sixty feet beneath the present surface. A mile west of the city, be tween it anti the ancient village of Neptoah, Mr. Warren has explored, at some personal risk, a re markable cleft which dcenuds into the earth to a depth of more than on hundred and fiftty feet, and which may not improbably be one of the sourees of the water supply of Jerusnalem. On it , other hand, :o the valley of the Kedron, a mirle sr d a half south of the ctv, and tive hundred yat da below the " Well of Joshab," a well has been excavated, apparently for the frst time, which Iroves to contain pssages, staircases, aol other coutrivaLces, ah oh it can hardly be too much to assume will be found to be connected with the waters of the city itself. Fragmentary as are all these discoveries, they indicate an amount of aneient remains below the surface which cainot bot excite the hopes and stimulate the curiosity of all concerned, and incite us to straln every nerveo to lay bare such interesting relice. As I read Mr. Warren's accounts I seem to feel tUe ancient city wthin my grasp-to know for a certainty that i's very houses and streets and water-coerses, all the ancient life of itaestructures, Its bills and its ravines, Ia lying buried like some enchanted persen beneath that singular and soleo, tomb. The cltif (as the dean of We. nminaster said m his sermon the other day) which Joab chrmbed, the streets whiLch I)avid trod. and I along with Athalia nas horred, the catacomb of the kinprs of Judah, the very Via Dolorosa itself, Sof which not esen the shadow of a likeness car be found in ohe upper air of the modern city-all these are doubtles there. Wherever Mr. Warre, Srotbes, let him but go deep enough, and hbe 7 comes on some sold substance of curious an·d S. ancient kind. They start into view in I truly magicall manner, more like the "Arabli s ~ihta" than anJ thin else.

" Oh, go to sleep, you old fool l" "Mr. Twain, I am surprised and grieved to-" "Don't interrupt me, woman! I tell you it's absurd-you learn to skate! You'll be wanting to play fairy In the Black Crook next. I tell you skating Is an accomplishment suited only to youth and comellness of face and symmetry of tigere. Nothing is so charming as to see a beautiful girl, in the coquettish costume of the rinks, with cheeksroay with exortion and eyes beaming with excitement, skimming the ice like a bird. and swoopingl dw upon a group of gentlemen and pretendmg she can't stop herself, and landiag in the arms of the very young man her lather don't allow her to know-and darting away again and falling on her head and exposini herself -_x posing herself to remarks about her careless ness, madam-hold your tongue-and always taking care to fall when that young man is clobe by to pick her up. It is charming. They look pretty and interesting, too, when they are just learning-when tLey stand still a long time in one place. and then start one foot gingerly, and it makes a break for the other side of the pond and leaves the balance of the girl sprawling on thi side. But yon-you look tat and awkward and dismal enough any time, and when yo, are on skates you waddle off as stuffy and stupid and ungainly as a bassird that's had half a horse for dinner. I won't have it. madam. And you get under a little precarious headway and then put your feet together and drift along, stioping your rad and shoulders and holdinq your arms out hke you expected a church was going to fail on you, it aggravates the life out of me! And Tues day, when I was as eLough to get on skates my self, and kicked the Irish giant's eye out the first dash, and lit on my hepd and cracked the ice so that it looked as it the sun with all its rays had dropped where I struck, and they ined me ninety two dollars for ruining the man's pond, I was ter rifled with the conviction that I had gone through to the inside of the world, because I saw the ps rallels of lattitude glimmering all around me; and what was it but you, in your awkwardness fetch ing up over me with your "tilters" on? You've got to discard those things. I can't stand the pew rent, and I won't. Mr. Twain, I am sure-" H" old your clatter. Itellyou, you shan't bring odium upon the family by your disgraceful at tempts to skate, sprawling around with your big feet, like a cow plowing her way down hill in slippery weather.

Tell me what it was-tell me what it was this minute. I just know it's one of your lies." " Oh, don't mind; It amin't of any consequence- go to sleep." " But it is of consequence. You've got to tell me; you shan't aggravate me in tiWa way; I won't go to sleep until you tell me what it was." " Oh, it wasn't any thing." "]Mr. Twam, I know better. You're just doing this to drive me to distraction. What did that ihoemaker say about ny shoe ? What did he do? Quick I" "Well, if you must know, he-he-he-how ever, it's of no consequence." " Mr. Twain." " Well, he-be took it and gased upon it a long time In silence, sad put his handkerchief to his eyes, and burst into tears." " Why you born fool!
