AN APPEAL TO THE BENRvoLEET.-A large
amount Of suffering and distress prevails at
the present time among the poor of our
city. Among other cases that have come
under our notice is that of two families, the
heads of which are serving their country in
the field. There are seven children, all
young, and unable to earn any thing; the
mothers of which have depended for some
time past upon the charity Of the Relief So
ciety. This fund being now exhausted, they
are without food of any kind, and, to add to
their distress, the entire number, nine in all,
are sick with the measels. Had it not been
for the kindness Of some neighbors almost
as poor as themselves, they must ere this
have died Of starvation. This is a case Of
extreme Distress and one which we hope
will be speedily relieved by those having
the means to do it. Do not let it be said
that the wives and children of our brave
soldiers are permitted to perish of starvation
in tie midst Of the plenty with which God
| has blessed us. Further information con-
cerning them may be obtained by applying

GALL ABOUT THE BATTLR."-0n Monday
morning two sturdy disciples of Vulcan,
named Chas. Graham and Jesse NJ. Sparks,
got into discussion about the battle of Fort
DonelsOn and the raising of the "blaek flag"
by the rebels. Sparks said he was sorry that
the rebels had displayed the black flag; that
he had hoped the war would be conducted
on principles of humanity, etc. Graham said
that he (Grsham) was not sorry that the
rebels had raised the black flag, as it would
afford the North an opportunity of annihi-
lating the South, which he thought should
be done. Sparks said it was the influence OF
such foreigners as Graham that had brought
on this war, and that Americans did not de-
sire any foreign dictation, etc. These last
remarks of Sparks led to fight Immediately
between the parties, in which the latter came
of second best.
4 Graham was arraigned before Judge
Satin this morning on the charge OF com
mittinR an assault and battery. After
hearing all the testimony, the Court, before
disposing of the case, expressed the opinion
that the view Sparks took Of the raising o
the black flag was correct and that he was
surprised that any man having spark o.
humanity in his breast should become Of
Tended at another for expressing such senti
ments as those made use of by the plaintiff
As TO foreign interference, the Court though
if plaintiff intended his remarks to apply Il
adopted citizens in our country, he was very
wrong; but if he only meant 1t for foreigr
nations, he was correct. The quarrel was
very foolish one, to say the least of it. Ora
ham Wss fined $6.

HERMANN.--This famous magician will
commence his soirses on Monday evening
next at Smith b Ditson's Hall. The sale Of
reserved seats will commence on Saturday
at Church's music store.
PrKE's OPHRA-HoUsE.- more fashion
able or delighted audience than that which
graced the 0pera-house last night, we have
never witnessed. A new routine of magical
illusions completely bewildered the assem-
bly,, and even the least excitable of humanity
was enthused by the extraordinary perform
ance. That Heller is the most wonderful ex.
ponent of modern magic, is fact established
beyond dispute, and in token of the extraor-
dinary versatility of talent that he possesses,
it is also conceded that he has no equal-at
least in this country-as pianist But to the
lover of mystery, the "Secopd Sight exhibi-
tion is something to leave an impression for
q lifetime. When we witnessed this mar
vel at Smith 4 Ditson's Hall, we supposed
that it approached as nearly TO the prefer
natural as possible, but last night satisfied
us that in the apparently lowest depth of
mystery there is still q deeper. Positively,
the boy, blindfolded, and thirty yards from
Heller, described the minutest articles with
out q word of questioning by the latter; and
this evening we are promised still more ss-
founding phase in the performance. Verify
the days Of necromancy are not yet passed.
NATIONAL TBEATER-Miss Charlotte Thomp-
sOn.-The attendance at the National last
night was quite large, and the audience
manifested its appreciation of Miss Thomp-
sons impersonation of "Oynthia" in the
beautiful drama of Flotosrs Of the Forest in
rounds of applause. The lady is an actress
of no common merit, and we are pleased tc
see her efforts are successful. Flowers of tht
Forest will be repeated tonight.
WooD's THEATER-Miss Kimberly. - Thit
charming actress is drawing crowded houses
nightly by her chaste and artistic persona
tion of the octoroon, "Zoe." The play Il
founded on true Southern incidents ant
scenes. Do not fail to see Southern life al
showed up in the Octoroon. 1t will be re
peated this evening.

and is poor cripple. He sleeps in the
Station.houses and boards in the market
houses. He did not object to spending a
brief term in the City Prison, and was ac-
cordipgly furnished with quarters in that in
stitution for thirty days. Ellen Jones was
sent over for forty days and forty nights, on
the charge of vagrancy. Mary Hamilton,
for being disorderly, got twenty days, and
VIM. Riley, for the same ofTense, ten days
in the City Prison. Caroline Brown and
Mary Colield were sent over for fifteen days
each, for drunkenness and disorderly con
duct. W. P. Talliferro colored man, was
nrIaigned on the charge Of committing an
assault and battery upon white boy, named

SINGULAR AcCIDEET,-O Monday last, a
being killed in the following manner: He
was standing near building on Vine street,
waiting for a car, when a chunk of ice,
weighing perhaps three or four pounds, fell
from the roof of the house, grazing the
youngsters head and inflicting a severe
wound. Had the ice struck him fair on the
head he would undoubtedly have been killed.
AS it was, he escaped with injuries which
though severe are not of serious nature.

SELECT READINGs.-The attendance last
night at Smith & Ditson's Hall was very

The reading of T. Buchanan Read has i'm.

cidedlY good, reminding one forcibly of
Murdoch. Tie poems selected were short
and patriotic, and were delivered in an ex-
cellent tone. We hope at some future day
Mr.. Read will favor the community with an
other entertainment, for we feel satisfied he
will be honored with an appreciative audi
nnce.
