DEsIs. We venture the opinion that II this
lady had played the same line of characters,
some Of which Miss WESTERN has performed
clevcrly, during the past three weeks, Mr..
Growers receipts would have been far greater
and his patrons would have been better pleased.
There are many parts attempted by Miss
WEsrrhs which either Mrs. MYRos or the
'parkling ANNIE WARD could perform much
more acceptably.
We sincerely hope that when the present en-
gagement of the justly celebrated MARr!NETTI
and MABzETTI families terminates that We
shall have the pleasure of witnessing come of
the standard plays OF the old Masters, per-
formed by Growers own rompany. 1t will not

THE SITUATION IN FRONT

We publish elsewhere details of fighting be.

TO prevent the premature publication of all re.
ports Of a lragmentary character of part of
the campaign until something decisive has
happened. He went forward, as has been
stated, upon the Plan Of Grant, taking rations
enough along for whole Campaign, sending
cumbersome supply trains and all unnecessary
lumber and luggage 10 the rear, and without
relying upon railroads or steamboats,, as has
been too much the practice heretofore, he
Crossed the Rapidan regardless of bridges or

that General Meade, on crossing the Rapidan,
issued an order prohibiting newspaper CORES.
pordcnls from leaving the army or commun-
eating with the rear, for reasons given above.
1t will, therefore, be difficult to obtain reliable
Information respecting his movements and

believe the order has been already violated,
and this may result in the expulsion of all
correspondents from the army.
