The Winter Garden.

II Mr.. Florence be not the best Irish come.
dian on the stage, we know not who is. His
natural talents are remarkable, his humor Is
true and hearty, and ranges easily In action
from the most delicate themes of comedy to
the broadest effects of farce. Close study and
long experience have ripened his powers, and
thus, within his peculiar domain, his art is
perfect. We say this by way Of general
praise. Confnlng himself mostly to parts,
which in themselves are nothing, he succeeds
by dint of his own irresistible humor; and his
success is always signal. 1t has beeu SO at the
Winter Garden, whore he commenced an en-
sagement on last Monday evening. "Handy
Andy" 'Mischievous Annle," and "The Re-
turned Volunteer" were given every night
during the week to good houses. Mrs. Flor
ence, as heretofore, assists her husband, and
together, they furnish a most agreeable enter

A correct list of the representatives OF New
York, Philadelphia and Western newspapers in
Washington will possess general interest. 1t
will also have value to those who have business
with these gentlemen. 1t may tend, too, to
discourage fraudulent assumptions of a con-

notorious traffic which, 1t Is well known, has
existed for long time in Washington, carried
on by persons who assume to be connected
with those papers, for the purpose Of obtaining
free passes upon railroads, over telegraph
wires, and iu various other ways appropriating
the influence of the press, which does not be-

The Affair at Burn.ld.,. Ou,po.,..

The affair of Gen. Burnside's advanced posi-.
tion, wherein we lost the half of two regiments,
as stated In the Star some days since, occurred
at Rodgersville, Hawkins county, Tenn. Our
loss in prisoners on that occasion Is ascertain.
ed to have been 600-also four cannon. The
position was an Isolated one, on the possession
of which the safety of Gen. Burnside's army by
no means depends.
The above is from the Second Edition of the
Epening Star Of yesterday. The statement Of
the number of men and cannon lost aud the
name Of the place where 1t happened, was sto-
len from our first edition yesterday. On the
same subject in the same article, the Star pro-
ceeds as follows:
"Our contemporary, the REPUBLICAN, to-day
virtually accuses the Government of desire TO
conceal from the public knowledge the fact OF
the occurrence Of this small disaster. This
allegation, which docs great injustice, indeed,
to the authorities, strikes US as being simply q
very poor apology for the REPuBLicAN's failure
to know the fact In time to compete with the
Star in its publication"
lift is any qualification to the Star, we will
state that "ths fact was known to us In time
not "to compete pah," but to beat, the Star,
as usual, which is never a difficult matter.
For good and substantial military reasons, we
were requested, by the President, on Monday
last, not to publish the report.
We complied, of course; but when sufficient
time had elapsed to remove the objections, We
were furnished with the details and published
them, and the Star, Moseby-like, gobbled them
up, according to Its custom, accompanied by a
tissue of characteristic verbiage to blind Its
readers. 1t is bad enough to steal our news,
without falsifying our position.

A War Incident,

A correspondent of the Bloomington Pdnta-
grdph relates an amusing incident which he
states took place at the captureof Little Rock,
Arkansas:
A Confederate surgeon, by the name Of Cros-
dell, got beastly drunk, took room at city
hotel, and went to sleep. In the meantime,
our men drove the rebels through the town in
complete rout, and took possession Of the place.
Several of our officers put up at the same hotel.
After while the surgeon awoke from his slum-
bers, and came down stairs and stood in front
of the hotel.
"Come," says he to the officers, "let's go
out to camp"
"what campi' say one officer, Dobbips, OF
course.
"What command do you belong to !" says
reb to Gen. Steele.
The latter explained.
"Well. )" says the surgeon, "it beats Rip Van
Wrinkle that man cannot 60 to sleep In the
Confederate States without waking up In the
United States!''
Since then he has taken the oath and gone to
ST. Louis, and thinks c. s. A. poor govern
ment for slecpy manor any other man.

ALEXANDRIA ITsMs.--The Alexandria State
Journal OF yesterday afternoon contains the fol-
lowing:
THE New wESROLLMENT.-CAft. :heetz, Provost
Mar.hal of Washington, D. c., under the enroll
ment or conscript act, was In the city today. lie
informs us that the Seventh district of Virginia has
been attached to his department under the recent
call for 800 200 more troops by tho President and
that In few days he will open n recruiting office
in this city ior raising volunteers under the said
call.
The quota or number of troops for the District
have not yet been assigned, but we presume the
order will be issusd In lew days. We are well
aware that the people of this District not in
condition to respond to the call for an additional
number OF volunteers or to answer to the draft II
one 10 necessary. What few OF the old residents
are left, it Is rs much they can do to pay their
taxes under the new order of things and at the
same time support their famili 8.
If they should be drafted into the service II would
be utterly impossible for them to pay the commu-
tation, and II they should be compelled to serve
account OF their inability to pay, their families
would be compelled to suffer untold hardships.
The war has stripped many Of them Of every thing,
and large majority have been rsdueed from atfu-
ence to abject penury and want.
We cannot see tor the life OF us how these men
are to respond to the call Of the President. But
our regrets must prove unavailing, ior the draft
viii no doubt take place unless the quota 10 made
up by volunteering. The quota, whatever num-
Der 1t may be, will he accepted irrespective Of
lor. What lie the duty, then, OF every citizen Of
the District 1t undoubtedly. to go to work at
once and assist In raising troops by volunteering.
Every man who volunteers receives a large
bounty, whether he be black or white, but II he
allows himself 10 be afted no bounty iH awarded
him, Again, every person who volunteers de-
creases so much the probability Of draft, and
lessons thereby the probability OF draft being
nece saFy. Whatever the quota may be which Is
ultimately awarded this District, we are confident
by proper exertion the number can be made up In
less than one month among the poored people OF
| the city alone Unless the quota is made UP by
the HIST OF January next draft wIl certainly take
| place.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 1l.-Special dispatches
from Cincinnati give a singular story about
two suspected vessels discovered yesterday
lowering about Sandusky bay, supposed to be
privateers fitted out By secessionists In Canada,
aided by sympathizers there and in the States.
The supposed object Of the vessels Is to release
the prisoners on Johnson's Island and COM
mence piracy on the lakes and pillage on land.
A battery Of Parrott guns was ordered forth
with ts the island. 1t may be scare, but
there is, however, more of feasibility in such
an enterprise than in the alleged conspiracy
recently discovered. Possibly It is a part Of
