ROMANCE OF THE NEEDLE.-The Christiin Ia-

The needle with the thimble has done more

ELLsLER's ATHENEUM-GREAr ArTRAc-
TIoNs.-The Atheneum was literally crowd
ed and jan,n,ed last night by an overflow
ing audience. Yet for so dense crowd
seldom have better order, attention and de-
corum prevailed in any assembly. The
beautiful romantic Indian drama of the
"Wept of the Wish-Ton- Wish" was pro-
duced in handsome style-all the characters
as well as the scenes and incidents being
well represented. 1t brought to mind
events in the history of our country which
cannot be too deeply impressed on the
memory Of those who have succeeded to tht
goodly heritage their ancestors left them.
That teccentric piece of satire and comedy
the "Hypochondriac," with Mr.. Charles
Barras in the principal character, as was tt
be expected, fairly drought down tht
house, To praise his acting in this piece
would be to attempt to "gild refined gold'
or to ''throw perfume on the violet"
Tonight the great sensational drama o
the "Woman in While" will be reproduced
for the last time, followed by the amusing
farce Of "Wagtails and Bobtails."
Tomorrow (Friday) night a compliment
ary farewell benefit will be rendered to Mis-
Sallie st. Clair, on which occasion, tina
popular favorite, Mrs. James Dickson, viii
make her first appearance this season OF

PUBLIC MEETING u,e OF - rnr THIRD WARD


PUBLIC MEETING OF THE THIRD WARD
CrTzENs-5O0,0 MEN TO BE DRAFTED!--
ARE you READY?-The citizens of the Third
Ward (Columbus) will hold a meeting
this, (Thursday) evening, Feb. IL, 1854
at the City Hall, for the purpose of discuss
ing measures concerning the pending draft,
and to adopt such method, if possible, that
will avert 1t in this Ward.
The meeting will be addressed by the Hon.
Saml. Galloway, Hon. Geo. M. Parsons, and
H. G. Noble and others. This is subject
fraught with importance, and in which citi-
zens are equally interested, or nearly so. 1t
is earnestly desired, therefore, that every
citizen, at whatever age, may be present at
the meeting. The government has called
for 100000 more troops. 1t is necessity.
They must be furnished, and promptly. We
are required to furnish our proportion,
either by volunteering, substitution, or en-
listment or by draft. No escape from the
number required. The life of our country
needs the men, and as patriots and good citi-
zens, we should be prompt in responding to
the demand. 1t is only q question then
whether we wesupply the call with substituted
men, or suffer the draft to pass upon us;
for there is nothing in the future more GER
tain than that the draft will visit each dis
trict which has not its quta filled up by en-
listments. tts t.
In order to secure enlistments, money is
needed. The Sd Ward quota is twenty
eight men. 1t will probably require $4,000
to secure twenty-eight enlistments, which
would clear the Ward from the draft. One
half of this sum has already been secured:
the balance Is now needed and at once
Other Wards have made up the sums re-
quired for their purposes. Substitutes are
daily becoming scarcer. The time is short
and if we succeed in procuring men to
fill our quota, by enlistment, prompt and
decisive action is demanded. A small sum
from each citizen, in addition to the pres
ent fund, will be ample to secure the men
to fill the quota. Let not the Sd Ward hes
itate to do her duty now. Let it not be
said that her patriotism has cooled down.
But rather let her come forward, as on
former similar occasions, and manifest her
readiness to aid the, Government in this
period Of her struggle, by complying with
the reasonable demand made upon her.
If she fail to respond now cheerfully,
fully, generously, disgrace rest upon her.
It is ascertained the men can be obtained
now to enlist. Shall we seize this opportu-
nifty to redeem the Ward? If so. come to
the meeting tonight every man of you;
for this is the last opportunity, for the time
Is too short and the means too uncertain.
BY authority of the citizens.

SENATE.-Mr. Trumbull reported from
the Judiciary committee various bills to
amend the Constitution, and an amendment
by way of substitute providing for the
abolishment Of slavery through State sleg-
islation. ,,7 49,, IL q. 81 "a 3.
On motion of Mr.. Trumbull, the Senate
proceeded to consider the bill prohibiting
members of Congress, heads of Bureaus
and others from acting as attorneys, except
In purely judicial cases before civil courts.
HoUsE.-The House proceeded to the
consideration of the bill to establish Bu-
reau of Freedmen's Affairs.
Mr.. Elliott of Massachusetts, explained
the bill, saying its passage was demanded
no less by considerations of high justice
than by its effect on thepecuniary interests
of the Government.
No action was had on the bill.
Mr.. Dawes, of Mass presented the Gre
dentials of James M. johnson, from North
west Arkansas.
Mr.. Davis, of Maryland, moved to lay
them on the table, pending which the House
went into committee of the Whole on the
enrolment bill.
The enrolment bill was discussed for the
remainder of the session. n 5a.ls5 sl
The committee were for long time en-
gagged on the section exempting members
Of religious denominations, who are consci-
enciously opposed to bearing arms, from
service In the field, but assigning them to
look after freedmen. During the debate
Mr.. Deming, of Conn.,, said there were five
hundred thousand non-resistants In the
country, and if they were exempted from
there would be revival among the nom
resisting section, and their ranks at least
would be recruited.
Mr.. J. G. Allen of Illinois moved to amend
by striking out the reference to religious
denominations, and making the section ap-
ply to all persons conscienciously opposed
to bearing arms. oa
Mr.. Aliens motion was disagreed to.
