An AMUSING "AcfoR" TNDtaNANr-NovEL
MODE or MEETINu NEWSPAPER CRITICISM
We are informed that, an evening or two
since, a Mr.. Carter, who Is or formerly was
employed at the National Theater rs leading
man, followed through the street journalist
ofvery small stature and no muscular devel-
opment, connected with amorning cotempo-
rary, and heaped much verbal abuse upon,
and threatened to assault him, because the
journalist had simply stated that he Carter
was bad actor The journalist asserted
very quietly his right TO express his opinion Of
public performers, and stated that he should
continue TO do so when itlay within his duty;
the actor threatening, If mentioned again in
any way in the paper on which the critic was
employed, to entirely eat up the Lilliputian
quill-driver, and, after the manner of the des-
rate Romeo, to strew some churchyard with
ais hungry bones.
Now this mode of resisting OF setting aside
criticism strikes us as highly commendable
and vastly amusing. We really like tit is
so novel and original withal.
The idea, too, his being outraged at the
expression that he is bad actor He is, we
believe, the first person who ever denied it,
and as, we can not suppose he is prejudiced
in his own case, we give him the full benefit
Of his opinion.
We have before had occasion: to say Mr..
carter was bad actor, and we Will say again
he Is a very bad actor-one of the worst we
have ever seen in this city in his position,
and we imagine it would trouble the manager
of the National to get mitch inferior person
as leading man in his theater.
lfMr. Carter undertakes to enter into hos
tile collision with all the people who don't
like his acting, and say MS much, he will have
more business on his hands than he can well
dispose Of for the next ten years; and we hope,
therefore, as he has expressed his determine
tion to perform such pugilistic feats upon the
heads of all persons of correct taste, that he
will favor the press first, and give its men,
bers an early call Be sure, Mr.. Carter, they
will appreciate the favor. If they must be
sacrificed to your Achillean wrath let them
fall early. The press of this city has done a
great many bad things, no doubt; but let it
never be accused of liking Mr.. Carriers act
ing. Oh mol that lowest deep has not yet
been reached.

A Negro Alarmed at the Prospect of Freo- =
dom. - -


The Marion (Ala.) Commonwealth relates
this story:
General -, member Of the present Gem
eral Assembly Of Alabama, has body servant
who has been his property for many years,
and to whom he is greatly attached. This
hoy has one vice, that of drunkenness, and
his master has endeavored in every manner
to break him oft. Just before the adjourn
ment OF the Legislature, Nath got upon what
is termed \ "big bust" and the General was
deprived OF his services for considerable
time, when they were very much needed.
He waited for the boy TO get perfectly sober,
and assuming very stern and determined
expression Of countenance and with great
severity of tone, he told him he could tolerate
his outrageous CONDUCT no longer.
"Here," continued the General, giving him
a folded document, there are your free pa
pers--henceforth you are your own master.
Get cute my room at once. will make
provision to-day to send you to the North"
The boy was taken all aback. The big
tears commenced rolling down his sable
cheeks. He said he did not want to be free,
he didn't want to be free even and stay at
home. He promised faithfully to get drunk
no more If his master would take him back,
and we believe he has kept his word. e,T.,, !.

BURGLARY AND ROBBERY ON NWATER-STREET.
The residence of Herman Beekman, on the
corner of Water-street and Elm, was feloni-
ously entered last Monday night, and robbed
Of two trunks belonging to some of his board
ers, which were found the next morning near
the river minus their contents. A quantity
of wearing apparel only was found in one OF
them, while the other was rified of ten dol
lars and some articles of clothing, and some
other valuables besides. Last evening n
couple of men named Michael Fortune and
Augustus Cory, were arrested upon charge
of having committed the robbery, and con-
fined in the Pearl-street Station-house. By
means of a saw, which they accidentally
found near their cell, which is made of wood,
they almost succeeded in making their escape,
but being detected, were secured, so that they
will make their appearance this morning be-
fore Judge Lowe.

The ADVANTAGE OF REPUTATIoN.-The
London correspondent of the New York
EVeRiRg Post says As another illustration
of the erroneous estimates which booksellers
sometimes place upon literary labor, or else
of the advantage of reputation in the
author-it is not for me to say which, may
good authority, that the story of dLoveel the
Bachelor" which has been the making of the
past two numbers of the magazine, was
originally written as play, and time was
when its author would gladly have taken
fifty pounds for it; now it will be worth to
him more than thousand |
