The AMERICAN THEATRE.-Last night was
the benefit of Mr.. Buchanan, whose Sir Harcourt
Courtley was a fine delineation. In genteel com
edy we think Mr.. B. would soon acquire an envi-
able reputation. Time, with practice, would cor

scenes of tragedy, and enable him to take that rank
as tragedan to which he aspires

The Mobile Herald, some weeks since, speaking
in kind terms of the Crescent, said " But have
hopes that it will see, by and by, that all patriotism
and devotion to the Union in the South is not con-
fined exclusively to our adopted and itinerant
Northern cilizsns." We have waited until the
election in Georgia, before we answered this. We
are happy to find thai the Herald is correct on His
point. We are gratllied that Georgia has proved
her 8 devotion TO the Union' by repudiating seees-
sion and its advocates. The great Union meeting
here the other night, shows that " devotion to the
Union - is a feeling which psrvades the commuai-

zsns.'' The reelection of Col. Langdon as Mayor

The INCONSISTENCY OF THE CREscENT.-The
Delta publishes extracts from the Crescent Of Feb
ruary 22d and 25th, which certainly do not agree
with the opinions advanced in our defence OF Mr..
Downs, from the unjust accusation of Mr.. SOule.
The first article, styled "The Protest Of Mr..
Downs" was not written by either Of the editors
il was intended to appear as communication
The editors had just entered on their new business
the article found its way into the columns without
any of the usual marks of communication and
really we did not think it worth while to make any
explanation. The writer of the editorial of the 25th
never did read through the unlucky communication
until part of it appeared in the Delta Its author
| is Southerner, and special favorite oil Inc
| Delta. The two articles certainly are decidedly
antagonistical and we must admit what cannot be
denied. We can only say it is the result oil al
accident, and submit with resignation 10 'h'
Deltas castigation But this slip of ours, does no
relieve Mr., Soule from the unenviable position II
xvbiab he has placed himself.
