AMERICAN THEATRE-Miss Petrie's Benefit
The American will, as matter of course, be
crowded this evening. The charming Miss E. Pc
trie, SO well known and highly respected by our
community, has announced her intention of being
at home to her friends. We sincerely trust
that her soiree will be uncomfortably thronged and
that this highly talented lady may be convinced
that her efforts to have been successful and
are duly esteemed The entertainments offered are
attractive. " The Wandering Jew doomed to
keep moving :" Onward, onward,'' GO En- apant, en-
dpdmt stays here for this evening, and Jenny
Lind has Come" very amusing trife, with some
smart hits at few theatrical absurdites will be
performed for the first time here. Independent of
the lady's claims upon the public, "The Wander
ing Jew " is we'll worth sight, anil the buretta is
one which is sure to call into active exertion all
the risible nerves of the human system.
STRAKoSCH's SECOND CoNCERT-This evening.
at the st. Louis Ball Room, NJ. Srakosch will give
his second concert. The bare announcement is all
that is necessary to insure a full. fashionable and
critical audience, for the exquisite and mastery
performances OF this distinguished pianist, at his
concert the other evening at the Armory Hail. not
only convinced those who had the good fortune to
be present that the encomiums lavishly bestowed
upon him in Europe and at the North, were fully
deserved, but ELECTED such unbounded admiration
that they have since, among our music loving peo
pie, been the great theme of conversation, and in
consequence "every body and his wife are anx-
ious to hear the much-lauded artist. A brilliant
scene the ST. Louis Bali Room will present to night.

DEATH OF EX.PREsIDENT pOLk.

Our readers will perceive by our columns,
that another of our distinguished men has
been called from time to eternity. There
had been rumors for week past, that Mr.
Polk was dangerously i'll, at Nashville,
which place be had adopted as his future
residence. 1t was at first reported that he
had an attack Of cholera, but itappears that
he died on the 18th inst. of diarrhea, a
disease incident to the Southern country,
and Of which Hon. Felix Grundy, his late
cotemporary, also died, several years since.
MIR. Polk was man Of unblemished moral
character He possessed strong and vigo-
rous, though not brilliant intellect, to
which he united untiring industry, which
has been the secret of success with most
of our distinguished men. Mr.. Polk was
an able politician and possessed thorough
knowledge Of the masses. As an orator,
his style was clear and impressive. His
administration was one of the most event.
fu in the history of our government, and in
which the Mexican war, will always occu-
py prominent position. When the pre-
judices incident to political strife shall have
been dissipated, and the heat of party con-
fllct shall have subsidized, justice will be
done to his character and administration.
James Knox Polk was born in Mecklen.
burgh county, North Carolina, November
I'd, 1898, and at the time of his decease
was So years and 7 months old. Some ac-
counts make his ancestors Irish. others
Scotch. He studied law in Tennessee. was
sent to the Legislature Of that State, after.
wards TO Congress, was elected Speaker in
1888, and was reelected in 1887. In 1874
was elected President of the United States.
His subsequent career is we'll known. An.
drew Jackson stated, in 1874, that he had
known James K. Polk from his boyhood,
and that ga citizen more exemplary ia his
moral department, more punctual and ex-
act in business, more energetic and manly
in the expression of his opinions, and more
patriotic, does not live." Mr.. Polk had no
children. His wife survives him. She is
daughter Of Joel Childers, of Tennessee.
Mr.. Polk was member of the Presbyte-
! rian Church. a.i 5a uaI

CORRECTION.

BY typographical error in the result Of
the late Military elections, we made the
vote of the Rush Crays % for Watson,
Brig. General, and % for Major Kase, y
Brigade Inspector. Major Kase's vote should
have been SO. We probably owe an apollo
gy to Major Kase, who commanded the
Battalion, in not noticing the fact. Having
been kept in our office all day, we saw
none Of the officers excepting Gen. Watson.
It was with some difficulty we got the lit
tie information we gave. There is pre-
sumption that editors have an intuitive
knowledge of almost every thing that trans
pires. This is a grand mistake. We can't
give unless we receive. .
