ing, however, to observe that as a general
rule, those fare best which seek most truly
to deserve and that honest and Well-di.
rected enterprise, which trusts to NO laws
except those of artistic taste aud decorous
feeling, is ever the most cordially reeog-
mixed by the amusement-seeking multitude.
1t appears to be the fact that pecuniRry
success has followed the city theatres in
exact proportion to the reputation which
the character of their entertainments, NO
less than the manner of their performances
has secured for them.

manifesting itself by open and defiant acts
of rebellion il; the midst of communiLies at

the meanest kind ofstealing, yet The where

high position, and in this case is apt to be
'putfed up With a large degree Of honesty

faith, and as oveItaken with a sudden
streak ofEirtne will "cry aloud aud spare

honest people to wondering as TO the
whereabouts of the gang. Now, it would

tExtraet from AIsttsr received last night.

Editors Ipteltigercer:
There is nothing occurring here out of
the ordinary routine Of camp life. = Occa-
sionally an incident like the following will
occur, which relieves the monotony =
There is number of women who visit
theyarlous regiments encamped here, for
the purpose of vending pies, cakes, apples,
&c. 1t began to be whispered round that
they did not carry all their stock in trade
in their baskets, but that little of the
"milk of human Kindness" or "nld rye"
in plain terms, might be extracted from
their breasts. This led some of the Off.
cers to search one woman, when one bottle
was found in the right breast and one in
the left, aud one Immediately below the
waistboud of the dress , 10
Another l will relate, which shows the
kind of stuff some of these women are made
of. She was busily engaged in selling,
and was in the act Of taking something out
of her basket, when a rough fellow slipped
his hand under her clothes. She raised up
very deliberately, and without saying a
word, she drew a dirk from her breast and
made thrust at him, cutting him entirely
through his overcoat, vest and shirt, across
the breast, without doing any further in
jury. The fellow EcrIsd Justify, Blinking
perhaps, he had received fatal stroke.

cording to value good double barrel shot guns from
