The theatre continues to be crowded
nightly. We are glad to see the man
agement SO successful at the beginning of
the winter campaign; yet we are not
surprised, for the energy and enterprise
Of Major DUFFELD are an earnest of
success under any circumstances. We
hope the season throughout may be re-
muneratiye to the Manager, and that each
evenings entertainment may be pleasant
to all who attend. The play last night
was the Robbers" cast with the full
strength of the company. The perform
ance was in every respect unexceptiona-
BILE. We hope the piece will be repeated
at an early day. We cannot, however,
say as much for the after-piece-" The
Good For Nothing most assuredly
it is the most good- for-notbing farce that
was ever enacted.
Tomorrow evening will be given "The
Soldiers Daughter" and " Jenny Lind"

The Louisville Journal complains that
the "Butternut" prisoners can be smelt
all over the city, whenever they enter it..
We have no doubt of it. They out
stink onions, they outstink garlic, they
outstink forty brigades of polecats. We
hope Satan won't take exceptions TO
the comparison when we say, that they
outstink the very devil. We don't know
whether the Butternuts smell according
to their rank, or rank according to their
smell. Like Parson BRowNLows skunk,
we verify believe that the rebel army is
on the point of sinking itself to death.
They seem to have supplied themselves
with all sorts of necessaries.

Friday, Nov. Is.
The ladies from the North who were
visiting friends in Fredericksburg came
over the river yesterday under a flag of
truce. After remaining near headquar-
tiers all night under guard, and receiving
full examination of their cases, they
were this morning given passes to Wash
ington. They represent the feeling in
Fredericksburg to be of the most hostile
character. The ladies especially are
bitter and malignant beyod expression.
Upon the approach of the National army
they organized meetings, and appointed
a committee, who were instructed TO visit
the rebel commanding General, and inn
plore him upon their knees, if necessary,
not to surrender the city. They prefer
red having their dwellings burned to the
ground, to having them again occupied
by North,rn troops.
The rebel force now opposed to Burn
side they represent to be very large, and
say that Gen. Bragg has, beyond doubt,
united his army with that of Lee. They
state, also, that Jackson will remain in
the rear and will continue to menace
| Washington during the winter.
More intrenchments on the heights of
Fredericksburg have been brought to
light to-day by the signal corps The
entire number which can now be seen,
with the aid of the best glasses, is nearly
fifty; many of them, however, are quite
small and protect but one gun.

We have been officially notilied that we
are now detained in consequence of Gene

ious to be honorably released from my pres
ent position, would be something more than
might be expected from human nature, but
to say that am not perfectly content to pa
tienty await proper action, would be equally
untrue. Therefore be not uneasy, for my
health is good and my spirits buoyant. and
l hope / may hereafter profit by my pres
ent experience. know and appreciate the
vast amount Of trouble, &C., that my friends

perience and let the matter rest for the fu-

that transpres. ! can, perhaps, form no
real idea Of what prevents my exchange.

consideration of our Government, in which
