Tue LoSSrs or THE SoUTH CAEoIINI,Ns-I is
now very well established that the South Clroliniaus
Suffered very severely in the attack upon S%umIter.
The slateueut Of their losses comes TO rs from 50
many and different quarters that there is neither
room FIR doubt nor cavil. When the news first
reached Us Of the capture of that tort, it wss hard to
realize how the two parties could have been shooting
ColumuiaIs al each other for thIrty-taur hours with
out losing q man. II such We're in truth the fact,
Mexican fighting. which Is proyerbiully blood!ess,
was eclirseI in the Bay OF Charleston. We can very
well understand how Major Anderson and his COM
maad came out ct the engagement with scarcely any
casualties, for they were few in number, and under
shelter Of strong fortress; but how the swaTm1Ug
batteries oi the South Caruiiuilus escaped also, was u
puzzle which 10 one could satisfactorily solve. II is
now stated that between three hundred and four
hundred Of the rebels fell during the canECuodIug.
Men who had been pressed into service, and have
since arrived NJ the North, estimate the casualties at
THAT figure, and "a ship captain who was standing on
the wharf near NI.uItEie, during "a portion Of the en-
ea2emcut, counted nearly two hundred dead bodies

In NY ATTIC,
New York. Feb. 5, 1851.
Mon Cher Coyonel-I witnessed rather curious
scene at the Academy of Music last night. The
opera was the " Barber" with Miss Hinckley as
R0sina, Brgnoli as AlnaUiua, Ferri as Figaro,
ard Susini as Don Bdrt0o. Hinckley's Rosina is
not precisely the thing thatwe require hereabouts,
and the tenor being in state Of disgust, the first
act went for nothing almost everybody feeling
inclined to go to sleep. The performance Of the
second act was distinguished by the episode to
which I alluded at the beginning of this letter.
lt'Was no less an event than the introduction OF
the National' air, " The Star Spanged Banner y
during the music lesson which AlmduiUG gives to
Rosina. Why anything should be introduced here
passes my comprehension, and if you ask the ar
tstes they can't tell you. They say simply that
Malibran used to sing "Polly, put the Kettle On, i,
that Sontag rung in Home, sweet Home,n that
Patti gives Comm thro the Rye" in this scene
and that therefore, everybody has clear right tc
| introduce anything into it.
| Miss Hincbley, being an American prma donna
was to sing a waltz by Pacin, and afterwards the
S. S. B. After finishing the waltz, la belle Hinckley
came down to the foot-lights very nervous ant
more cross eyed than usual, and started off will

| audience, which was not, by the way, a large one
In the middle of the first verse the prima donnf
stuck fast, and the prompter tried in vain to helI
her out She then made fresh start, and stumbled
along until she came to the refrain, when she trot
ted over to the proscenium box and received small
cheap cotton flag from Mr.. j. X. Hackett and waved
it over her head. The second verse was ever
| worse than the first and people began to say tina
it was very odd that Miss Hinckley should under
take to sing song without knowing the words
however there was good deal of applause, and
decided encore, in response to which Miss Hincke,
sung another verse. Then the nobs and the snob
settled down to their seats again and the perform
ance went on as before.
1t appears that Miss Hinckley was not to blame
in this matter. Some enthusiastic individual hat

CATION Of the Mississippi and suggests that the
fact should be remembered, if they, Jordan, Daven-
port Co., come North to play. The Sunday
Atlas pitches into them iercey, and says that they
ought to call themselves the Cocktail Guards. The
Mercury is equally savage and the Leader ridcules
the movement. The Tribune says that the New
Orleans actors are down with the secession fever,
and then uses language similar to that of the Post
presume the stage reflects the popular opinion of
New Orleans as it does that of this city. In our
theaters when any sentiment in favor of the Union
Or against war and coercion is uttered, the en-
thusiasm of the people is kndled at once can
see no harm in such demonstrations in either
section; but our Republican friends are good
deal frightened and very cross about these tunes.
Apropos to politics, they say that the new re-
ligous daily, the World" is in the market, and
that it will be bought by ThurloW Weed, John
| Bigelow & Co., for Seward's organ. Greeley has
been fattened ont in the Senatorial contest, and
is to be snubbed, and not to have any of the spos.
| The Times is too wishy-washy, and the World is
| just the thing they want Under Weed Il Bigelow
| the World will not be pous any more. Piety isn't
much in their way. 1t will advocate conciliation,
settlement the distribution of the New York spois
| by Weed, and foreign mission for Bigelow. This
| gentleman is rather clever writer, and has been
| Bryant's right hand man since 1854. In 1856 he
wrote Fremont's life, which sold pretty well. Last
| year he compiled book about the Prince of
Wales, and offered it to several publishers, who
declined to print it; whereupon it printed in
the Post, and was very good thing for the nur-
sery. Bigelow is married to very pretty woman,
| who wishes to live abroad hence the anxiety for
| the mission. He has been in pretty good society,
but is rather dangerous acquaintance, as he don't
hesitate to use publicly what he picks up pri-
| yately.
| If you recollect the row at the New York Hotel
| between the habituGs of that house and the Wide
Awakes, you ayrecall the circumstance that two
or three rich young men were arrested. Among
| them we're some of Bgelows acquaintances and
be gave in the Post some "spicy" particulars
| about their families. It was considered funny at
| the time, and made the Black Republicans laugh
a good deal, I have no doubt but Bigelow has
suffered some for it snce having received the cut
direct from large numbers Of people up town.
| I think that's about all for this week. My crino-
line friends tell me there isn't drop of relateabe
scandal to be had at any price. The men talk of
nothing but politics, the old women almost
frantic and the young ones quite in despair

Yesterday being bright and beautiful day, the
Mardi-gras spirit of merriment and deytry was ef-
fulgent all over the city-from the river to the
swamp, from the barracks to the stock landing.
The little boys and girls reyeled as usual in
cheap masks and fancy costumes, and pelted each
other and the darkeys and loafers with -four,
according to the usual custom. The cyprians and
their masculine rowdy companions took full ad-
vantage of the license accorded to them on this
one day of the three hundred and sxty-f five, and
whilst amusing the town by their outlandish and
grotesque costumes and professions and antics,
doubtless enjoyed themselves according to their
fancies-nobody envying them their enjoyment.
There were many laughable groups in wagons
niger minstrels, clowns, harlequns, horrible
beasts, devils, and so on, and some extraordinary
professions on foot. In the early part of the day
band of niger minstrels playing niger music,
marched around, having at their head a comical
efigy of Old Abe Lincoln riding rail Of his own
splitting. Old Abe's "express wagon" was an
other show which thoroughly amused all who
saw it.
St. Charles and Canal and Royal streets were
throDged all day long with multitudes of people
who turned out to look and laugh at the fancy,
grotesque and ridiculous displays of the Mard gras
mummers
At night, the decent and respectable part of the
population had their Mardgras. The numerous
society balls, the festival of the Mistick Krewe,
and the other reunions of the night, were crowded,
gay and splendid.
We will endeayor to give some account of the
Mardi-gras doings in to-morrow's Crescent.

Cor IT AGAIN.-For the past two weeks our city
has been filled with strangers, most of whom were
volunteers either to Fort Morgan or to some of
the Florida forts Among them were men from
all parts of the country and of every disposition.
During the ir stay here we have heard OF great
many jokes played and anecdotes told of some
of the "green ones,'' and how some of the "smart
ones'' were taken in; but about the coolest thing
we heard was one told on young man from the
interior of Mississippi, who, whilst looking around
the city in search of sights, was picked up by some
ropers-in and introduced into skin game o.
''seven up" 1t did not take them long to gin"
him out of all the small change that was on nus
person, and $50 more on his watch. After he lost
that amount, as a matter Of course, he quit the
game came out on the street, and met an old
friend of his fathers, related the circumstance to
him, who had some respect for the boys st. feelings
aud loaned him the $50 to get back his watch
The youngster stepped away in the direction
where his watch was in ''aoak,n andin about twen
ty minutes returned to where the Doctor was
standing in conversation with some gentlemen,
and with a kind of hopeful grin on his counte-
nance, tapped him on the back, smiled, and re-
marked, they've got it again, Doctor-sot it
again" Mobile Tribune
