acter, nothing being introduced that can offend
the most fasiidious. The music, especially, Ia
declared to be- charming, and the acting unsur.
passed 1t lite line.
The opera Of Cinderella will be produced on
Wednesday evening. With all itS scenery and
stage effects, 1t 10 beautiful presentation, and
as exhibited by the Holman troupe, will have a
most charming and fascinating effect.
We have not space to speak Of each individu-
al member Of the "Holman Family" We may
say, however, that Mrs. Holman presides at the
plano, and is reputed an able and accomplished
musician.
Speaking of the presentation Of Cinderella by
this troupe, an exchange remarks Of the "Infant
Julia" and "Miss sAllie":
Little "Julia" 10 the role Of the fairy ls "be.
witching;" her singing is musically correct and
pleasing, her danoing, is ga treat" and the dis
tinot manner In which che renders every word
of her part, combined with graceful stage action,
Ia most surprising If we bear In mind the fact
that Bhe 10 only six years old; "Mss Sallie" is
q most charming and versatile actress, sustain.
Ing some halt dozen different characters during
the performance, all of which are flushed spec
linens OF dranatlc art. Possessing powerful,
though eweet, Contralto voice, she thrills her
audience by her simple and beautiful ballads
and her Rrtlstio einging of the gene OF the
opera. As o "danseuse" (eleven years old) she
has no equal. The "sailor's hornpipe" intro.
duced in the piece last night was loudly "encor'
cd" and delighted every person present. Their
costumes are msgnifoent.

The GREAT MENAeEIRE OF VAN AMBuReH Il

with wonders, it is in the curious developments
Of animal life and animal structures, that the
greatest miracles are wrought. Inert matter
has It's mystsriesj the vegetable world presents
curious problemsj but the animal kingdom, In
which instinct, passion snd mind, come into
play, presents the most astonishing proofs OF
the wonder. working power Of the Universal
Mind.
All parts Of the known world have been
made to contribute 70 the magnificent spectacle
Of wild animals, which will be exhibited in this
city tomorrow (MOnday) afternoon and eve
ming. II is the largest and mos: expensive
collection of the kind 10 this country, and the
opportunity to witness these curious specimens
Of the Creators handi-work, should be missed
by 20 one. The exhibition is strictly one Of
animate, and nothing else. Here can be seen
animal forms the mOst lovely and the most re-
pulsive; animal intelligence Of the highest order
and the lowest grade, and animal passion the
most savage aod ferocious as well as the mild
est and most tractable.
Toe grand entree of this Mammoth Menage-
rie into our city tomorrow morning, with its
colossal golden chariot, Ito cornet bard and it's
immense procession nearly mile long, will
present moving panorama, such as can rarely
be witnessed in a lifetime.
Remember that the Menagsrie will be open
to morrow afternoon and evening, on the cor
ner Of Rich street and Washington avenue, and
will leave the city the next morning.

Important order from Gen. McOIeI.
Ian.

On the 9th inss, Gen. MoCLELLAN issued an
order in conformity with the Executive order
Of July 22d. We have not room for the whole
order, but cannot refrain from publishing the
closing portion, relative to the protection Of
property, eto. The General closes by saying:
The idea that private property can bo plun-
deEed with impunlty IL perhaps the very worst
that can pervade an army. MsraudiDg de-
grades az men and demoralises as soldiers all
Who engage In it, and returns them to their
homes unified for the pursuits Of honest indus
try. This army is composed mostly of young
men; and the General Commanding, to whose
care they are entrusted, owes Ii to the parents
who have sent their sons, and to the communI
ties that have sent the flower of their youth into
tbe military service Of their country, to warn
and restrain them from an evil go perDicious.
The order Of the President requires the ap.
plIcation of q similar rule In tho use of real
properly. This, however, does not apply to
such uses as are insepaTable from military oper.
auons--to wit: marches, camps, pasturage,
hospitals, depots, quarters, and damages occa-
stoned By active hoetiliesi but no use should be
made or injury done to real properly beyond
what Is actually necessary or convenient for
military purposes.
The destruction OF any species Of property In
wan,onness or malice 10 expressly prohibited by
the President's order, as we'll az by the Articles
Of War and the usages Of all civilized nations
All commanding officers are earnestly eDjoined
90 exercise the utmost vigilance on this subject.
Struggling and tFespassiDg are the invsriable
indications Of tendency to this description Of
crime.
Inhabitants, especially women and children,
remaining peAceably at their homes, must not
be molested; and wherever commanding officers
find families peculiarly exposed in their person
or property to mATauding from this army, they
will, as heretofore, 60 far As they can do 90 wish
safety and without detriment 10 the service, post
guards for their protection.
In protecting private property, no reference
is intended TO persons held TO service or labor
By reason of African descent. Such persons
Will be regarded By this army, as they hereto
fore have been, as occupying simply peculiar
legal status under State laws, which condition
the military Authorities Of the United States
are not required 10 regard at all In districia
where military operations are made necessary
