CRIsPs GAIErY-The Keller Troupe seem
to have Great d a. great an excitement and
Juror in Nashville as they have done in all the
other cities where they have appeared.
Their success has no theatrical parallel.
Mr. KELLER cleared by ten performances, IN
Havana, the pretty little sum of Twenty
Thousand Dollars. Mr.. KELLER is now en-
route for Havana and we do not wonder at it,
At Crisp's Gaiety, in New Orleans. the Keller
Troupe were engaged for one week; so extra
ordinary was :heir success that their perior-
mances continued throughout ten weeks, and
the afternoon entertainments became the rage
as much as their nightly performances.
The afternoon performances Of the KELIERs
are not Theatrical. They are Grand, Classical
and Living representations Of the muster pieces
of Rrubens, Raphael, Titan, Rembrandt and
the painters, whose names are hallowed by
their genius.
We see Mr.. CRISP announces one of these at
ternoon representations on Saturday next
commencing halEpast p. VI. Our country
friends and the neighboring cities will then
have an opportunity of seeing the wOrld-iamed
KELLER TROUPE. and returning To their homes
the same evening. Colleges and Academies
have sent their students to witness the pctur-
ed tr assures of the Colosseum the Louvre
a Id National Gallery of London; and to those
who have not an opportunity of visiting the
continent of Europe,we say. Go on Saturday
a tern and see the Kellers' Living Pic
lures, as beautiful are the great originals.

Mr.. MURDoCH-We learn from the Mem
phis Apped that upon the conclusion Of Mr.
MURDoCH's engagement in this city, he Joined
a hunting party and proceeded to the Cum
berland mountain on camp hunt. He Is
represented "a an ardent lover OF such sports,
and makes an excellent decr-hunter and camp
companion. He is now in that celebrated
region known as Crow Creek. The appeal
adds that he is looking out for farm on the
mountains. and if he succeeds in obtaining
one will become resident and cultivator Of
grapes and Il manufacturer of wine, besides
the growing of other fruits-in which he has
much theoretical knowledge as well as much
practical experience. He aims to locate near
the contemplated University. and the AFpedt
suggests that the Trustees of that Institution
would be fortunate in securing Mr.. Murdoch's
services as IA Professor Of Elocution.

The New York Times says that the Opposi

icy in making nominations, which was for
covery is that in order to insure an exciting
canvass and bring out all the votes of the party
there must be a bitter quarrel over the nomi-
nations. The more fuss and fury in getting
candidates before the people the better. The
strength of party is III proportion to its Ca
pacity to fight within itself and yet present a
solid front to the enemy. The experience of
the Opposition in this county during the late
canvass. illustrated this fact forcibly.
