THE ACADEMY OF MUsIC.-Miss DAILY
played the Female American Cousin last
night, to a crowded house. She was greeted
with storm of applause. Her delineation
of the Yankee Girl was exquisite, and not
Withstanding the supposed uncOuth character
to be represented, she played her part with
the utmost grace. We believe that she will
be greeted with the greatest generosity as
long as she remains upon the Cleveland stage.
The play for this evening is " Our Female
American Cousin, and q The College Boy"

MARcHINd ORDERs.-The 18th Ohio Bat
terry, Joseph C, Shields, Captain, left our city
last night at six o'clock for Cincinnati. This
body Of men is one Of which We may be res-
sOnsbly proud. Recruited as they were at q
time when misfortune seemed on the point Of
destroying all our military success, the
young men who enlisted with Captain Shields
are Of remarkable intelligence. We think
We have never seen a finer set Of fellows in
the service. They will not fail to be heard
from wherever they go. eprOphssy for the
18th battery glorious record.
The crowd which awaited the departure of
the volunteers at the depot was an interest
ing sight. From the floating handkerchiefs
and moist bright eyes that bade them fare
well, we judged that the dashing cannoneers
had, during their stay in Camp Cleveland,
gained strong positions in many afectiOnate
bOsoms. The boys were followed with bles-
sings, which we hope viii act as charm in
every scene of danger upon which they enter.

THE FAIR.-The CuyahOgs County Fair
for 1852 will be held on the county fair
grounds in Cleveland, commencing Oct. 18th,
and continuing four days. From the activity
among the officers, and the excellent premi-
um list, we are led to believe that it will not
lack in interest, competition or visitors.
We see that the feature introduced for the
first time last year, and which proved to be
the feature of the Fair-showing the differ
ence in the customs and manners Of the
people now and fifty years agO-Will again
be introduced on an enlarged scale. We
think We can insure a large attendance.

To THE CITIZENS OF CLEvELASD.I ana
requested as chairman of the Finance Com
mittee Of tho Fifth Ward, to recommend to
the kind consideration Of generous men in
in the city, several poor persons seriously af-
feeted by the recent draftin our Ward. There
are many sad cases OfpOOr men with families
of children, and it has been decided to make
au effort to procure substitutes for such men
as should not be allowed to leave their faHi-
lies. We have asoartainod tnat by the as
sistanee of several recruiting officers who
have kindly offered thoir hand, we can pro-
cure substitutes at worry reasonable figure.
The residents Of the Ward have paid liberal
Iy to all war purposes, and will continue SO
to do, but these poor men cannot be relieved
unless men from other wards will assist. Gen
tlemen who reside in wards that have had
their quotas accidentally filed without any
extra ward bounty, should be willing to assist
in this matter. The Committee to make in
quiry as to what persons in our Ward really
ought to be provided with substitutes have
thoroughly examined the matter, and they
report ten cases. The committee on collec-
items will endeavOr to call on many citizens
for what sums they can give to this good
cause, and seme Of the persons recommended
for substitutes will also collect money, and
and they will have certificates from this com
mittee to give them credit. George Keim,
Louis Geseh, Francis Baker, George Deitz,
Conrad Chisler, and Philip Grub, are those
who will call upon our citizens themselves,
on 4 fhosy
mittee on Collections consists Of VIM. Collins,
VIM. Heisley, J. Weitz, L. F. Mears, and
Otto Wilk.
By little effort we may restore these poor
men among our drafted to their happy homes
again, and make families comfortable during
the coming winter, who without our aid may
be hungry and sad.
Respectfully, WILLIAM HEIsLEY,
Chairman of Finance Committee.
