from their command without proper authority are In

due at the time OF deseron but subject to the
severe penalties awarded by law to that crime

There 10 another beautiful and interesting

e1cels even himself in any other piece. This
is the Advocates Last Cause, which win be
produced to-night-Mr. Couldock dellneating,
az he alone can delineate it, the character Of
the Advocate, Autoin Deveaey. Mics Couldock,
who has also become decided favorite here,

How TO KEEP LENT.-Tbe following choice
verses from Herrlck, given 10 his "Noble Num-
bers," show US aptly how
TO KEEP A TRUE LENT.
Is this fast, to keep
The larder leane,
And cleane
From fat OF veales and sheep?
Il II to quit the dish
OF flesh, yet still
The platter high with nshl
Is 1t to fast an houre,
Or ragd to go,
Or show
A down cast look and sowre?
No, 'tis q fast TO dole
Thy sheaf Of wheat,
And meat,
Unto thy hungry soue.
II to fast from strife,
From old debate,
And hate
To circumcise thy life
To chow heart gref'rent,
To starve thy sin,
Not binj
And that's to keep thy Lent.

The Richmond Examiner Of Monday
contains the following:
All that can bs considered certain in
the confused jargon of te.egrams from
jackson is that two points of land dcfsn-
ses at vicksburg have been assailed and
the ASSISTANTS repulsed. Indeed nothing
could excuse or explain = want Of sue
cess on the part of defense. On all sides
are high bluffs crowded with breastworks
and bate ries. We are informed that an
attack can nowhere be made with force
equal to the garrison, and that on no side
can moro than 5000 be displayed in line
for assault. The peculiar character Of the
ground renders regular approaches diff
cult, while the hea. and malaria OF the
country during six months OF the year
would make its siege at the present sea
son one of the most murderous ones on
record. Only treachery or cowsrdice
could explain the capture Of Vicksburg
by sudden attacks, and its fall by any
other means seems daily less. 1t is prob
able if the Yankee army had swept down
the valley in such overwhelming force as
not only TO beat the confederate forces in
Northern Mississippi. but to take perma-
nent possession OF the whole country and
establish themselves there, as they have
done in Northern Tennessee and Ken
lucky, the fall Of yicksburg could with
difficulty be prevented. Isolated in ter
ritory possessed by the enemy. its rsduc-
ton by blockade would be but question
OF time, but Grant'sArmy Is not an army
OF conquest, much less an army of occu
patton. Its advance on Jackson, howev-
er, has been converted into very ordin-
AIRY raid. II is true he gained rapid and
repeated advantages from the same. He
captured Grand Gulf because the confed.
crate forces under Pemberton had been
scattered over half the State-of Mississip.
pl, AMI were therefore unable 10 defend
every place in danger. However, John
ston Is ordered to 20 there and take COM
mand OF that army. Whether he will re
trievs all the losses suffered by the con
federates remains to be seen, but we have
little reason TO fear the loss of the State of
Mississippi and consequent fall OF Vicks-
burg while he can keep the field The
d'sgrsceful attempt made here in Rich
mond to hx upon him the responsibility
OF the disasters Of the Lieut.. Gen'l, by
who he was Entrusted to the command of
the most important army of the confede-
racy, without having pu. squadron 10
the 6eld of battle, makes it the duty OF
every honest man to see that this dstsslA-
Bile maDeuvering shall fail.
