For this war, if 1t must needs come, We
are ready. We arc not yet prepared to
abuse an Administration and rcbukc a
patriot whose election has saved our coun-

drawn between Northern and Southern
men in this State, and upon any man who
seeks to array the one against the other,
we shall war without stint and with all
the ability that God has given us. All
we ask is fair tight in open daylight
We want no snap judgment taken supon

Above all, We want him to come out and

let him write, and if he cannot write, let

SCMooI. ExUIIlTIoN. - In accordance
with previous notice, the pupils Of the
public school Of this city, gave public ex
Mbtions on the evenings of Monday and
Tuesday last We were present on Tues
day evening, and found the Theatre filled
to its utmost capacity with the beauty,
fashion ard intelligence of the city, show
ing that our community takes lively in
tercst in the cause of education. The cX-
erciscs of the evening commenced with
the presentation Of the tragedy Of "Pizar-
ro," with the following cast: Pizarro, H..
Dunbar; Alonzo, Z. McCann; Rolla, S.
Alvcrson; Valvcrdc, NJ. McCormac; Atal-
aba, A. McCann; Davilla, S. Rowland !;
Almagro, G. Mack; Lascassas, W. Bell {;
Orazembo, S. Alvcrson; Gomez, c. Das-
comb; Orano, NJ. McCormac; Cora, Miss
Hannah F. lIoyt; Alyira, Miss llonora
Okieffc. The piece was presented in a
manner that did great credit to those who
sustained the different characters, and
to the teacher, who had evidently been
at much pains to prepare them for it.
The young ladies were better ''up in
their parts" but to our mind, the boys
appeared to have the advantage in con-
ccption Of character; but comparisons
will seem invidious where all did so well.
The tragedy was followed by rccitations
and dialogues, in which Walter Swartz,
George Mack, Stephen Rowland, A. Nc
Cam, William Bell, Chas. Dascomb, and
Misses Leila Burwcll, S. Rockwell, Mar
gNrct Hughes and IIonora Okictfc, took
part; they all did well and were much
applaudcd. The whole concluded with
an original farce called "Thc School Tea.
cher" in which the principal parts were
well sustained by Henry Dunbar, Wm
Bell and Martin McCarmac. The piece
was full Of fun, and was greatly applaud.

We have heard but one opinion cx.
pressed Of the exhibition. and that awards
unbOundcd praise alike to the teacher
Mr.. II. S. IIerrick, and the pupils. We
trust that Mr.. Hcrrick will give another
exhibition ere long, as VIC think that they
not only bcgct an interest in the public
mind for the advancement Of the cause o.
education, but create wholesome emu
latiOn in the pupils that cannot fail to bt
productive Of good.
Tho nett proceeds Of tho exhibition
were 3177 90 cents, which are to bo ap
