WALLAcK's THEATER-"UP AT THE HILLs."-A
lew piece by Tom Taylor, in three acts, under this
title, was suddenly brought before the public last
night, with all the taste and eegsnce Of stage
detail for which the management Of Mr. Lester Wal
lack is proverbial.
The scene ID laid in India, and the characters are
English military and civil, with sprinkliug Of the
nat,ves The plot lie based on the efforts OF Mis
Colonel MoCann Mrs. Iloey) to cireumvent the
Vaccinations of Major Stonehurst, rene and ruined
fortune-hunter Mr. c. Fisher, to marry Mrs. Ever
leigh Miss f. Morant), and to fleece successfully at
cards young Lieutenant Greenway Mr. Floyd
There are beside, Captain Slack, dule OF the Ma
ior's Mr. Norton; Dr. Madriyett, an army surgeon
,Nr. John Sefton); Turns,all, barrs'er Mr.. Rey'
nods; and three sweet siXteens, two English and
on. East Indian Misses Croker, Miller, Hennques'
| The piece abounds in aDgcisns in vogue, enough
Of AncloIndian life and aluson not to he distressing
nicely suggested dialogue, and natural situations.
The marriage Of the rolentant rome with tie East
Indian girl was the least probable transaction OF the
evening.
1t went dialogue-wse fairly for first public talk;
and, ss whole, the acting was the most spirited OF
any piece of the season. The work becomes sharper
with the progress Of the piece and at the end OF the
second act, the general applause produced rerising
of the curtain-aceering to the accepted fashion in
such cases. At the close it was announced for repe-
titon, amid marks Of popular satisfaction.

WINTER GARpES-" The LANES OF KILLARSEY.'
This theater was crowded last night 10 see tie fra;
performance of this promised pece--a melange Of
fairies, bog, Irish life and forth. Of plot there is
little to be said but the scenes Erinwse are spicy,
smusing, and drew forth much applause and laughter.
The mise en- scene was excellent we are happy to
remarkespecalIy as that Of the plays recently given
has been TASTY AMI shabby. The f.iries are nuner-
Gus, pretty, and well attired. Tie s'ene OF the
Lakes of Killarney ia particularly beautiful Beside
the dancing, there are nterectons Of song TO enven
the action. Mr. and Mrs. Williams did the chief
characters. The theater was no cr'mmed that the
applsuse when earnest took very large proportions
Two stage boxes were reserved for Co. and Mrs.
Muligan and their party. Their reception too, was
yoci.erous, and characteristic Of IRISH heariiness
The boxes were decorated with the American tag.
"The Lakes of Killarney" is announced fer feIe'
tition night and subsequently.

Dear Col-Well, here l am at last
and nothing Of importance to write
about. This, my first, fear will not
prove as interesting as you might ex-
pect. No business doing here of anv
consequence, and all that is to be heart,
is war war! war! You will soon
have from this place, daily mail, of
which fact your are probably posted,
this will prove Of great benefit, during
thes e exciting times. We have but few
arrivals of steamers at our landing
the river during the week has been
falling. We were blessed with glo-
rious rain, yesterday, which can as
sure you was much needed. There
is rumor in our city to the effect that
Cairo. "a place by the way, beg to
be excused from ever stopping at
again) was vamosed by the thieving
cohorts Of the Rail-splitter. l think
it reliable, but will not vouch for it.
The military spirit of our people
has not subsided in the least, on the

to see their flags; we can see them
frequently shoot bomb shells at our
batteries about four miles of; they
shoot from place called the Rip
Raps to Sewell's point which is near
seven miles distant. There is only
this one gun in the United States that
can shoot so far; it Is named the
"Union gum" and was buried III the
ground in Maryland, and has been
recently dug up. l am rather afraid
of that gun; if they move it to the
enemy's camp opposite us. they can
run us away; l know if we had it
here the yankees wouldn't stay there
very long.
DR.. Blackwell and Edward are
we'll ond getting along finely. Some
Of the people in Shreveport think we
are short of provisions; such has not
been the case yet, thank God, and l
don't think it is likely to be. I will
give you our yesterdays bill of fare:
Soup, Beef with vegetables; Bacon
and cabbage, with vinegar; Irish po-
tatoes, boiled; Corn-feld peas: fried
heef-stcak; stewcd crabs; corn bread
crackers, onions, rice, fried bacon
and blackberry pies, at will; with
sweet milk, coffee and good water OF
a spring close by.
Cold salt water baths can be had
by going down to the beach.

The Rise Of Times-A Parody.

Alas that man should ever be,
So prone to warfare AS YOU see;
War that enhances everything.
That commerce or the seasons bring
You ask what makes the leather rise!
1t is the war, the tanner cries.
The cows do still wear hides he sees,
And bark still grows upon the trees.
Woolen and linncn can't be cheap
In war-tho' we have hemp and sheep
Nay, every thing we eat or wear.
Tis var, Of course that makes j, dear.
An aged matron Went TO buy
A candle for to light her by,
And finding that the price Vas Iuorc,
BY full three cents than twas before,
The grocer asked how came it SO
The war, he cried-the war yuu know
The ancient dame uVturned he! eyes,
And with sigh for mankind cries:
Alas alas and do they fight,
These !uckless times by candle light
