The news from Mexico is both interesting and
exciting.
The French communication between Vera
Cruz and Oriziba has been completely cut of

established and kept up by the French posting
strong guards all along tho route.
The Mexican guerlllas are in strong force all
along the road, and worry the French uncCas-

been again repulsed and driven back from be-
fore Puebla with great loss. Tho French Gen.
eral Berthiers and his vanguard, four thousand
strong were completely surprised by eight
hundred Mexican cavalry, and, after an en-
gagement, about two thousand of them wert
killed and wounded. Several French officers
were taken by the lasso and dragged of.
The prospects Of the French look exceeding
ly bad. They can'tget supplies from the coun'
try, and they are surrounded by a determined
enemy, who watch every opportunity to take
advantage Of them.
No French soldier can stray from camp with
out being lassoed and dragged of by Somt

4 NEW THEATRE.
THE LEGITIMATE DRAMA IN WASH
INGTON.


Although many attempts have been made,
for the last ten or fifteen years, to introduce the
legitimate drama into Washington, no person
ever succeeded until Mr.. Leonard Grover open
cd hIe present establishment. In years gone
by, we have heard it asserted NAVY timCs, that
good theatre would not be supported in
Washington that the citizens and residents Of
the city could not appreciate good company
Nj. Grover came here and determined to make
the trial at his own risk. He erected the esta.
bllshment which now very properly bears his
name. While tits not an Academy of Music'
IN size or elegance, ii isaS and is an Academy
of Music to the citizens of Washington, com
pared with any other attempt of the kind ever
made in this city, since the old National
was destroyed by tro. The scenery and ma
,hinery were the main things necessary for tho
test. Mr.. Grover engaged and introduced IA
the Washington public an excellent company
embracing some of tho best artists In the Coun
try. The most sterling plays wsre performed
to crowded houses night after night.
Mr.. Growers enterprise proved a triumphant
success. He demonstrated the fact that the
Washington public are not slow TO applaud
enterprises that they appreciate the legitimate
drama and will support It. As soon as this
TACT was spread abroad, other persons came
here and opened other places of entertainment
We believe they have all done we'll.
Mr.. Grover has for some time been satisfied
that Washington, the capital Of the nation, il
deserving a better temple of the drama thar
now exists, and he has made arrangements TO
It's construction. 1t will be modelled after Wal
lacks new theatre, in New York-well venti
lated, spacious, convenient, beautiful and tho
rough in machinery, scenery, and other neces
sary details. His new company will DO In
creased in number and improved in talent
The most brilliant stars that move in the dra
matte armament will appear from time to time
In short, we are TO have a complete, first-clas
theatre, with all the convenlences, in the cit
OF WaShington-thanks to Mr.. Grover.
Since writing the above, we observe that
strong effort is making to induce Congress t
authorized a corporation to establish theatr
in this city. 1t seems to us that Congress ha
enough legitimate legislation for this DistrlC
without going out Of its way to run an oppos
ton to private enterprise.

GENERALS SUMNER AND FRANKLIN on
DERED TolREPORT HERE.

The visit Of General Burnside to Washington,
and his long interview with the President on
Saturday, announced In tho REPUBLICAN on
Saturday evening, resulted in bis being relieved
Of the further command of the Army of tho
Potomac, at his own request. Tho President
Immediately ordered MSjnr General Hooker,
commander Of the Centre Grand Division, TO
assume the full commsnd OF the whole army.
This decision was arrived at by the President
after the most careful consideration Of tho
whole subject. Simultaneous with this change
in the chief command Gen. Franklin, COM
mNnding the left grand division, and Gen.
Sumner, commanding the right grand division,
have been ordered to report to Washington.
There Is wisdom In this act Of the President,
which, from motives Of policy, we abstain from
discussing at present. The withdrawal Of
Franklin and Sumner will leave the lel wing
In command Of Maj. Gen. W. +. Smith, and
the right wing In command Of Maj. Gen. sedg-
wick-two excellent officers.
Let US all, while regrstting the action Of Gen.
Burnside in Withdrawing from the command,
hail Gen. Hooker with our whole hearts, as the
new chief, cease our anxiety about those out of
command, and earnestly put ourselves to the
work Of encouraging and sustaining those who
are about to assume the new and important res
possibilities 10 leading mighty army against
desperate foe.
Major General Burnside returned TO the army
Of the Potomac yesterday, and will give his
whole attention to the subject of turning over
his command to General Hooker in such a
manner as will relieve the latter OF all embSr.
rassment, II possible.
