SECESSION IN THE NORTHERN THAETRES.

The last trick of the Yankees has been tC
| introduce into their theatres burlesques O.
''the rebellion and its causes" New York i;
| all agog with this new excitement and enter
tainment. We would suggest to the Herald
| when this shall have had sits rum" that Bar
mum. or some other Yankee Snowman, will
| bring out on ''the boards the retreat of the
| Grand Union Army from Manassas. We are
sure that il would make decided hit, and
| would prove quite profitable to Barnum
as did the Woody Horse or the Living Hip
popotamus. The Herald says of the burletta
intended as hit at the South, and just
| brough out in that city:
In the new burletta called 1.-THE Seven
Sons" and produced at Laura Keene's the
atre on Monday evening, the questions of the
rebellion and its causes, and of the conduct
of England towards this country, are very
fully and freely discussed. Indeed, this could
hardly have been avoided in burlesque
which is designed to be the vehicle for hits
at the manners and matters OF the times, for
these very questions are those which occupy
the public mind and absorb the public at
tention. 1t was noticeable, at the first rep
resentation of the play, that the applause
which followed every telling hit announced
that Miss Keene had not only selected popu
lar subjects for her dialogue, but had hit to a
nicely the current public opinion upon these
subjects.
At a reference to the Crittenden compro-
mise the audience cheered enthusiastically;
bat they applauded not less heartily phi
lippic against any peace mongering until the
rebellion was put down. Hits at the insult
ing course of the English press, and at the
libels of the Tines CORES pOndent, were also
cordially received by the audience, and de-
nunciations of Abolitionists and Secessionists
alike we're vehemently endorsed. Ofcourse
there happened to be a few individuals among
the crowd whom some of these sentiments did
not please, and who tried to hiss the pieces.
Their efforts were greeted with tremendous
cheers, however, and the applause and cries
of sturn them OUT which fairly drove the
Abolitionist hissers from the house.
We are not surprised to find that the abo-
lilion organ, the Ifibune-Of which anti-slave-
~ Gay is one of the managers attempted,
Yesterday. to succor its friends and damn the
play, which the public has pronounced the
best spectacle yet produced on the New York
stage The Tribune will have to change its
tune, as it did its Onward to Richmond"
Glamour, or it will soon be suppressed by the
Government, as it has long enough deserved
to be. As for the abolitionists of the school
of Beecher, Cheever and Garrison, let them
go to see the ''SeVen Sons,D and, in the uni
versal execration and ultimate damnation of
their representative on the stage, let them
see the premonition of their fate here and
hereafter. The temper of the audience will
show them very plainly that the public think
that fate cannot come too quickly and could
not be better deserved.
