Macbeth AT Grover. Las, N,rn,

The play Of Macbeth d" was placed on
the stage Of Growers theatre last evening and II
went Of well. Tho part Of Macbeth "a Scottish
cheftain, who is cursed with ambition and
wife, and whose death results from personal
misunderstanding with Nacdufi at the end oftbe
piece was enacted by J. W. Wallack with his
usual FIRE and energy. Mhcduf was finely done
byMr. Z. L. Davenport, and tho closing scene
between these two artists produced an effect
rarely witnessed.
Miss Ada Parker impersonAted Lady Mac
beth very respectfully. She did not rise TO those
tragic heights reached by some whose forte is
in such chAractersi but she played evenly and
was especially forcible In her last scene.
Mr.. Grover spares no pains or expense in the
properties and costumes and scenery, and the
mounting Of the piece was equal to anything Of
the kind in this country-with the exception,
perhaps, Of the New York theatres. The noble
music Of Bishop that accompanies the play was
finely executed, under the direction Of Koppltz,
and the chorusOs were performed In a very cred
liable manner. Tho music Of the piece is often
times murdered more foully than Duncan.
Emily Mestayer, as the first singing witch,
tion to the rule Sophie Climber, although
singing in Hecate an alto part, with her pleas
ant soprano voice managed to give full effect
to the music. Addio Anderson, second sing
ing witch, and Mrs. Germon and Miss Lee,
rendered the music well.
The witch cauldron lacked only one ingre-
diont, not known however in shakspear's time,
a CoPPerhead's gizzard. That, in addition to
the babOon's blood" etc., would have made
the charm complete.
Tho illness Of some Of the company marrcd
slightly the smOothness Of the performance.
Mr. Bokee, cast for "Banquo," was i'll, and we
noticed that Mr.. L. b. Williams, of "Brother
Potter" fame, was obliged to do Duncan" :"
Third Witch and Physician. On the whole,
however, it was a good performance, and no
audience at Growers will be disappointed while
he employs such artists aud manages his thea.
tire with the enterprise and judgment he has
thus far displayed. ......-.

writing from Newbern, North Carolina, March
10, says:
The troops last night slept under arms, as 1t
was found that the rebels were coming down
in large force by way Of Pollocksvile, but up
TO 10 O'Clock to-day no attack has been made.
Every preparation iB nude TO receive them, II
they come. The troops are in excellent spirits,
and mu:h prefer 10 fight the rebels here than
10 seek them In their fastnesses. Il will take
large force to capture Newbern; and from
what l know Of the character Of Gen. Foster.

The Savannah Republican says many Door

ST. LOUIS, March 24.-Tho Democrats spe-

rebels have continued shelling the canal at
Nicksburg, retarding the prosecution of the
work somewhat.
The river is falling, and the fears of an over
flow Of the camping ground have subsidcd.
All is quiet at GroenwOod both parties are

Our present force there Is regarded as INSULT.
cient TO reduce the rebel fortlfcations.
The levees are being cut, which IL is thought
will result in drowning the rebels out.
Rumors are in circulation of the evacuation
of Haines' Bluff, and that the Eighth Missouri
regiment had gone up to garrison the place.
II this be true, IL foreshadOws the fall or eyac-
uation of Vicksburg.
The st. Louis Democrat learns from a gentle
man just from Vicksburg that the steamer Dill
igent, with the Eighth Missouri, had succeeded
In entering the Yazoo river, above Haines'
Bluff. Her course was through Cypress bayou,
which debouches in the Yazoo opposite John.
sons plantation, where ShermAn's troops landed
last December; thence through Steel's bayou
into the Sunaower, which enters into the Yazoo
20 miles above Haines' Bluff. The Diligent
was accompanied by light-draf gunboat. As
soon as 1t was found possible to get through,
four iTon-clads followed.
The informant also says that syeTal thousand
men had gone up before this. Our force can
| thus be placed between Haines's Bluff and
Yazoo City, which will enable us to operate in
the rear Of the former position, and bring the
| latter between two fires.
II is also believed that our fleet can navigate
the bayous and enter YazOo river above Yazoo
Pass, by which means our gunboats can Co
operate with our forces at Greenwood, and re-
duce Fort Pemberton; then throw their com
bined strength against Yazoo City, and flank
the rebel position, being thus turned
ViCksburg 10 undoubtedly evacuated. The
batteries at Haines's Bluff were built to sweep
down the river, and arc pOwerless against an

tidings is anxiously looked for.

Sunday report another canal or cutoff being
opened from the Mississippi, fifty miles below
Helena, into Deer river, Washington lake, and
into Sunaower river, by which is gained access

They also report that two of Farragut's gun.
