Theatre in Aberdeen.

Mr.. and Mrs Crisp with their corps of dra-
matte artistes, heralded by but short notice,
though with fine reputation preceding them
through the medium of the press, arrived in this
place few days since; and on Monday evening
last, at the Collegiate Hall'' made their debut
before an Aberdeen audience. Judging from the
abundant manifestations of approval by the re-
spectacle audience that attended, and the express
sion since of private sentiment, so far as we have
collected it, the mass of those present must have
been very much pleased with the performances
For ourself, -uncultivated though be our taste in
the histrionc art,-we are free to declare we very
much enjoyed the evenings entertainments.
The Company made their second appearance
last night, and to large audience. We are graf
! fled to learn, they acquitted themselves very
brilliantly indeed,-every one we meet this morn
ing who was there, giving us the most glowing
account of their truly excellent performances.
Mr. Crisp, as we learn from him, visits US chief
ly to ascertain the taste of citizens, for the
moral and intellectual drama.
The Theatre and Lot in Huntsville, was pre-
sented to Mrs Crisp, and has been improved BY
Mr. c. to the amount of nearly three thousant
dollars.
Mr.. Crisp is DESTROYS of blending with Hunts
vile some three towns into circuit to perform il
each twice year.
Should the patronage here, encourage hop
of success in the future, Mr.. Crisp. previously t
his departure, will make proposition to GU
towns people, to erect pretty Theatre, adaptabl
for Ballroom and place of reception for publ
meetings; similar to those in New York, Boston
&C., &c.
In its legitimate and true sphere, the Drama
fine school of Morality, and having every assn
rance that it is Mr. Crisp's aim and desire t
make it scrupulously subsidiary to that beautift
purpose, we take pleasure in commencing hir
and his proposed plans to the favorable conside
ration of our community.

The Theatre.

The performances given by Mr. and Mrs. Crisp,
and their talented company, have attracted very
large and respectable audiences; and created a
taste for the rational drama, and general inter-
est throughout our community to much greater
degree than any amusement which has visited our
town for many years,
The artistical representations of Mr.. and Mrs.
Crisp command universal admiration. The strict
attention to the selection of the entertainments to
the refined taste of the day; the beneficial moral
inculcated; the perfectness of the performances
and the admirable observance to the minutlae OF
the business, to which we must add the mastery
execution in the musical department of Mr.. Harig,
we can readily account for the unfailing success
which attends Mr. Crisp's professional visits wher-
ever he goes. This regularity and decorum as
sembles among his audiences large class of the
public inimical to dramatic entertainments.

An Item.

B.F. Pendleton, late Mayor of the city of
Natchez, writes to the editor of the Free Trader,
from Norwich, Connecticut, as follows:
81 have mingled and conversed with democrats
from most or all of the New England States, and
that they will rally around the standard of Pierce
and King zealously, and every inch of ground will
be contested. The impression here is that Scott
and Graham can only get Vermont and Massachu-
sets, and if the wings run Webster ticket. as
they are most likely to do, the "Old Bay State
will likely help to swell the unparalleled majority
soon to be obtained by the gallant Pierce and
King"
Mr. Pendleton has been eulogized for the las
three years by the wings of Natchez, SO says the
New Orleans Courier.

The Excavations at Nineveh.

Among the recent gains from this rich mine
of antiquities. besides large addition of
statues, bas rcliefs in marble, pottery, and
articles of jewelry, which throw light on the
habits and customs of the inhabitants of the
ancient city, the French explorers have been
able to examine the whole of the palace of
Khorsabad and its dependencies. In so
doing, they are said to have elucdated some
doubtful points, and obtained proof that the
Asyrians were not ignorant of any of the
resources of architecture NJ Place has
discovered large gate, twelve feet high,
which appears to have been one of the en-
frances into the cty-several constructions
in mar5le--two rows of columns, apparent

cellar Of the palace, still containing regular
rows of jars, which had probably been filled
with wine, for, at the bottom of these jars
there is still deposit of violet color
The operations have not been confined to

Place has caused excavations to be made in
the hills of Bachicca, Karamlcss, Teu Leu

Russian Conspiracy.

In Russia only two sorts of consp:racies
are possible-palace conspiracies and mill
tary instructions There was certainly some
ground for alarm in the temper of the great
masses of the population of ST. Petersburgh,
in the year 1881, but it was not of politi-
cal character, The cholera, breaking out
with violence, had swept away its victims
with startling rapidity, and absurd rumors
of poisonings, rumors whose terrible effect
even upon the far more enlig ightened French
people, | myself have had opportunities
of observing, misled the populace of St. Pc
tersburgh, and hurried them into dangerous
excesses. Firmly impressed with the con-
viction that the physicians procured the
death of the sick. an excited mob, one morn
ing, stormed cholera hospital on the Hay
market, hunted down the physicians, and
precipitated one Of them from third
floor window upon the pavement. That
was the signal for a general insurrection !;
the immense Haymarket was soon filed with
dense throng, from which issued murmurs
as menacing as the roll of distant thunder.
A heavy and threatening cloud seemed to
hang over the anxious city. Suddenly the
Emperor appeared, fresh from Moscow,
whittier he had been on account Of the
cholera Seated in an open caleche, with
only Count Orof at his side, he drove into
the square. Soon the advance of the horses
was impeded, and the shouting and tumul-
tuous mob pressed round the carriage
In vain did the Emperor endeavor to ap-
pease those nearest to him: every minute
the tumit increased and already threatening
words were accompanied by threatening ges-
lures. The Emperor rose to his feet. and
exerting his utmost power of voice, COM
manded silence from the riotous mob, over
whose heads he lowered like some angry
demigod, flashing amongst thcm.the lightn-
ings OF his eye, and by his imposing presence
and tone, sitting the uproar and obtaining a
hearing. "Wrctches! !" he exclaimed, '.is
this the reward of all my toll and care for
