Highway Robbery.

A daring robbery was committed about three
O'Clock yesterday afternoon, on the Military road
some three miles beyond Marion, Ark, aud about
twelve miles from Memphis, on the person of Mr.
Alfred Carter, a respectable Mississippi farmer.
MI. Carter was on his return from Arkansas to Mis-.
sissippi, and at the time and place Indicated was
riding along very slowly, when three men spraBg
into the road seized bis horse, presented guns and
demanded his money. The faces of the men
were covered with cloths, hanging down TO their
waists, having holes cot for their eyes. Two were
armed with double barrel guns and the other with
ride and pistol Being taken completely by sur
prise, and having no means OF restance, Mr. Car
tar was, perforce, compelled to stand and deliver
especially as he was told that the sooner be did so
the better, and II he did not he was a desd man
They took from him S3S-$22 Of which was in all
yer halves one s. United States gold piece aud two
hye dollar bills They gave him back one dollar.
They also took from him several notes OF hand
one from 7. b. Baugh TO A. Carter for 500, due 10
January next; two notes TO Clark & Caldwell Of

N NASHVILLE:
FRIDAY. sEPTEMBER IS, 1867.
The next LegIsIatt1re=-the putty OF Amer

nc He1I Il gtsIatuKe-the Duty OF Amer
leans.
The August elections having resulted in
the overthrow of the American Party, the
question arises what course ought it now
to pursue. Shall it repose on its oars and
patiently wait until the sham Democratic
Party weakens itself by internal discussions;
or shall it assert its party Organization
collect and keep together its members. and
by sheer perseverance wiring victory at last
from the certain final justice of the people?
We think this last the true course
course dictated by conviction of right
and devotion to the best interests of the
country The only field at present open
for this line of action is the approaching
session of the Legislature.
The sham Democratic Party will be there
IN an overwhelming majority, and will di-
vide out the spoilS of victory to their more
useful or ambitious adherents. Two Sepa-
tors will probably be elected-such at least
is the desire and intention" of the major
lty, the Union and american speaking for
them-and nearly all the State officers are
to be filed. From present appearances we
have every reason to believe that the strug-
gle amongst them for the loaves and fishes

Vlruence OF family fight to be remember
ed forever.
shall the American members intervene
In the contest to hold the balance of DOW
er-to cause this or that sspirant to be
successful f? Shall they by taking part in
the elections render their party, in any de-
gree, responsible for the election or defeat
OF this or that sham Democratic aspirant?
We answer, No! a thousand times, No!
They will nominate candidates from their
| own party, good and true men, and stand
by them till an election is made. They will
say to the sham Democracy" Gentlemen.
You have the majority here-you shall
have too all the responsibility-we will not
Interfere one way or another" We think
we speak the sentiment of nine-tenths if
not OF the entire party in Tennessee in this
thlhg. we know this course is the only
one dictated by wisdom and sound policy.
1t is the only way to build up and sustain
party, and we call upon the American
members to adopt it; to present to the
enemy an undivided front; to select their
own candidates and in good earnest and
with answering faith to vote for them to
the "bitter end"
We will recur to this subject again in a
few days, and as it has been suggested by
some journals of the party that the Amer
lean members might possibly take part in
the Senatorial election and give their vote
to sham Democratic aspirants, we will take
occasion to pass in review the whole troop
OF prospective sham Democratic candi-
dates.

A New star.

IHE PERFORMANCES AT THE G6fETY-Mrs Mem
| ken achieved another triumph at the Gaiety last
evening. Her representation of the Widow Cheer
ly, IN the Soldiers dhughter, surprisingly fine
considering The disadvantages under which she
necessarily labOrcd from lack in part of efficient
support, we do not remember to have seen a more
admirable persOnatiOn of the character of the vouno
buOyant, and mad-cap wild Jw drawn by the dramst.
&c pencil OF Cherry. She played with great vivaci.
~, elegance and correctness.
Perhaps the most striking thing Observable in
her presentations of character is the ipteeetualtv
displayed IN each conspicuous scene The sbrewd
and sppreciative auditor at once sees that she nm
derstands the meaning of the author, and adopts
herstH to the part quickly and naturally. There
IS no mounting OF the words DO effort 10 produce
effect, no exhibition of stage affectatiop. Revor6
all question she Is more graceful and elegant than
Mrs. dayne and more ViVacious than Agnes Rob-
ertson. In Blanca she possesses more energy and
power than the former, and as Wtdow Cheerful
more case and spirit than the latter The ADM
rers OF these established faYories may demur 10 this
sentiment, but it is indisputably true. In express
ing TINS opinion we do not paint tile lily" but re-
cord simple fact. Those who saw her In ssFszioD
and 1.-The Soldiers Daug hter" aud who have q crit
zeal eye that detects almost at a glance the true
merits OF an actress, will only accord TO her
great versatility but predict for the lacy brilliant
and successful future.
Our patience has often been sorely tried during
our theatrical seasons, by the gross humbugs in
I'c'eu upon the pubic under the guse of genuine
dramatic stars. Men aud women come bither
curing the long drawn-out twenty weeks, with a
reputation manufactured to order al the North for

the position of leading actors or actre ses In anv
nrst-class theater. They are 'stars (heaven save
the mark,l but stars without the effulgence which
belongs 10 dramatic planets. These rush-lghts are
patIonlzed aud "applauded to the echo.n
mrs Menken is not of this class In her we
nave an actress of real excellence, and one whose
dramatic genius will command the appreciation Of
every love OF superior acting. With her fine natu-
raj Abilities her intensity, her clear ringing. must.
