The GInrinn. Ne,ra

When the news of the surrender of Fort
Donelson was first announced on our bulle.
tin board there were but few persons near
our office. Soon the crowd began to aug
ment, and cheer after cheer arose on the air
as the news began to be realized. Not very
long after the first announcement Il was al
most impossible to pass the street immedi.
ately in front of our Office. Again the glad
and joyous welcome Of an excited people
arose, and again the crowd added more to
its number, until, wild with joy, patriotism
and enthusiasm, they separated, as the
mighty acres Of Artic ice separate as it nears
a warmer climate.
"Whats the newsP" "Whaps the news 2"
exclaimed one after another, but those who
knew were too eager TO stop. One witty
and overwhelmingly Joyous son of Erin wss
hailed as he was breaking away by a lady in
the second story of the Burnet House.
Whats the latest news2 what's the excite.
ment 2" asked the lady.
"Bedad an we've got ould Buckner an
fifteen thousand nv his muthering beastes,"
was the reply.
Down the window went, and other female
heads soon congregated in the lady's room.
DO tell us what's the news2' says one.
For pity sake, enlighten u.s." said an
Other; all added their imploring cries, aud the
lady who had first obtained the news by hail-
ipg the Irishman reported it to her fellow fe.
male bosrders. In less time than il takes to re-
late this incident, waiter entered the room
with dozen OF sparkling, and toast to the
Stars and Stripes was drank in bumpers all
around.
The news spread on the streets, and az soon
as our paper was issued eight thousand extra
copies were placed in the hands of an impa-
tient and excited people.
The whole afternoon the streets were
crowded, flags displayed, and a general re-
Taxation from all duties manifested by our
entire community. Shout after shout, cheer
after cheer, went up in honor of our gallant
and glorious victory.
AT night the scene was augmented by il.
Nominations and boDfires. The excitement
had increased, rather than otherwise, aud
assisted by the flaming red lights which
adorned many OF our public buildings and
private dwellings, gave to the eye of the
looker'o on view such as has never been
seen before.
The sidewalks were crowded with men,
women and children eagerly and expectantIy
watching for the sights which were turning
up almost at every street corner.
Cannons, postols, revolvers and fireworks
OF every description sent forth their red and
sulphurous flames as ever and anon they
emitted report after report All in all, It
was such simultaneous celebration as has
never before been witnessed in our CITY since
the days of the first settlers.

Jane Smith, for being disOrderly, was sent
to the City Prison for the term of ten days.
John Peyton, lad aged about twelve years,
was before the Court on the charge of drunk
enness and disorderly conduct. He is a
newsboy, and very bad one at that accord~
ing to the testimony of the police officers.
Yesterday he took drink of whisky to cure
the toothache, and il flew to his head, made
him crazy drunk, and while in this condition
he wanted to whip all the other newsboys.

will be finally disposed of.

PiKB's OPERA-HoUsE-He Heller. The attend.
ance last night at the Opera. house was not
exactly in accordance with the expectations
OF this distinguished second-sight seer, and
we confess, not equal to our expectations
after taking into consideration the outside
effect OF the war news. The repertoire of this
unrivaled magician stands solitary and alone,
but when combined with his exquisite musi-
cal performance we are at loss to compare
and can only say in order TO appreciate, 20,
zee, and hear. His deception tricks are per-
formed with grace truly pleasing and as
tonishing.
WOODS THBATER - Hiss Kim5erly.-
Decidedly the finest audience of the season
was present last night to witness Miss Kim
berly's impersOnatiou of Zoe" the Octo-
room. The house was filed, and had it not
been for the counter influence of war news
ard war excitement the theater, we doubt
not, would have been unable to hold the
eager crowd. The Octoroon is a play well
calculated to enlist the sympathies of free
dom'lovlng class OF people, and the high art
manner, seemingly natural, way the play
was enacted last night, produced round and
round of applause. The Octoroon will be
repeated TO night.

which, rendered by the troupe at the Ma
