THE THEsPIAN ENTERTAINMENT To NIGHT.-This
entertainment, which is to be given to- night by
young ladies and gentlemen of the city, at the Con
cert Hall, on Poydras street, for the benefit of
Company B, Orleans Cadets, now on the Peninsula
of Virginia, will we hope, receive that patronage
which its object deserves. This company, under
that accomplished and active officer, Capt Alex.
Hart, has become one of the best drilled and
effective corps in Virginia, and the fellow citizens
of the gallant men who compose it should reHem-
Der them and be liberal in their behalf. All must
know the rigors of the climate to which they arc
exposed, and cannot doubt that they need much to
make them comfortable. We hope that this repre-
sentation will go far towards supplying their wants
We learn from persons who have attended the re-
hearsals of the Association who to act tonight,
that they are hard to beat, and will surprise all
who attend. Our readers should bear in mind that
they will not be able to procure tickets if they put
1t off till tonight, as the committee will sell no
tickets at the door All who want them must there
fore apply during the dny to the Committee of Ar
rangements, Messrs. F. A. Haber, s. A. Hart and
F. Goldsmith. The price Of tickets is one dollar.
The WAY THE ORLEANS GUARDS CELEBRATED
THEIR ADMINISTRATION last Tuesday, when the
regiment Of Orleans Guards celebrated their first
anniversary, instead of getting up big dinner and
spending their money in wines and victuals, they
devoted all that had been subscribed for the oc-
cason to the benefit Of their felow-soldiers at the
seat of war. The one thousand dollars which had
been raised for the celebration was given half
towards purchasing necessaries for Louisiana
soldiers at the seat of war, and the balance to the
Louisiana Hospital at Nashville. If such way to
celebrate an anniversary is not the best for these
times, we should like to know what is The fact is
the Orleans Regiment are as remarkable for their
perfect sense of propriety as they are for their
excellence of drill and perfection in discipline.
New Orleans is happy in possessing such corps.

ticed the fact that gentleman who had buried

name is Mary Roch, and her brother, B. Roch, at
their residence No. 2O6 Magnolia street, Second

Confederate Guards, and 7l77 to the militia. Thi
comes very nearly up to the estimate we ha
made, and New Orleans may well be proud of he
military force, especially as she has already sen
near twenty thousand men out of the State TO
Confederate service.

yesterday morning at half-past seven o'clock, i

materials, but several houses adjoining and de:
troyed them all. The loss was between seven an
eight thousand dollars, upon which we learn ther
was no insurance.
