1t is a pretty well established prinei-
pie in nearly every calling and profess
sion Of life, that ones popularity and
business is known by the crowd that
is always found in attendance, and the
words of praise and commentator
heard continually. This is strikingly
exemplifed in the case of the More
head House" at Bowling Green, KY,
that clever and excellent lady, Mrs
Julia A. Hesse, Proprietress. This no.
tel is keptin an unexceptiona bic style,
and with a scrupulous regard TO the
tastes and apetites of the scores of pa
irons of the house. The experience OF
Mrs. Hesse puts it beyond the power OF
any one to compete with her in provid-
ing for guests. A better meal, in these
scarce times, is not to be had, nor more
polite attendants to be found in the
Green River country than at the "More

NEW THEATRE The fine Irish drama
entitled the Peep O Day win be pro-
daced ct the New Theatre tomorrow
evening Mrs Allen appears as Kath-
leen KaTanagh; Mr. Leffngweu as
Black Mullin; Mr.. Roys as Harry
Ksvsnsgh; and Mr. Wight as Barney
oToOle. The remaining characters
are judiciously distributed amongst
the company. The drama is one Of
the. best productions of the day.
10 abounds with pathos, sentiment,
and heroism, with fun, frolic, and
notwithstanding, indeed, every phase
of Irish character. The chsract-
ers assigned to Mrs. Allen and Mr.
Wight afford them good opportunity
to exhibit their abilities. Mrs. Allen
will, we are sure, make a charming
Kathleen; the impersonation of which
character is associated in our memory
with the sweet face Of Mr.. Conway.
Mr.. Leffingwell's Black Mullin is
startling performance.
We are glad to say that Ed. Wight
had no cause to feel like a "sorry
night the morning after his benefit, for
it was a regular bumper, and he acquit>
ted himself better than usual We
have heard it remarked that but one
thing was wanting to render the per-
Torrance complete, and that was the
temperance of the demon whose in
voluntary debut created recently such
a sensation.

A New Enterprise,

The blockade runners carrying cot
ton from Wilmington, Charleston and
Matamoras to Nassau and Bermuda
have Seen pretty closely watched oflate
by our armed vessels, and in several
instances were chased so sharply that
they had to throw quantities of cotton
overheard. These vessels run always
in regular track after they get outside
the blockading line, so that ships COM
ing from the West Indies with fruit
have frequently found rich harvest OF
cotton atloat, for which the occasion
ally sacrifice their cargo, permitting it
to rot while they are gathering in the
more valuable castaWays of the block
ade runners. Recently the rebels have
been in the habit of ripping open the
bales before throwing them overheard,
and thus the sea, for miles in their
track, is often whitened with floating
cotton. This was too tempting an op-
portunity for Yankee enterprise to
to overlook, and we understand that
company has been formed in this city
which employs vessels TO follow the
path of the blockade runners and pick
up the cotton, and that they are max
ing quite a good thing out of it. This
is certainly new kind Of maritime

Another Word or Two from the Rebel
Vice PresIdent-NOt at Home When
Sherman Called.

From the Char 'te IN. g Bulletin, Tee. p
In common with number of others,
we had the pleasure of a conversation
on yesterday with the Hon. A. H
Stephens, Vice President of the Con
federate States, who was a guest at the
Mansion House.
After conversing with this distinguish
ed gentleman it is not difficult to un-
derstand the secret of his influence.
Clear and logical in his ideas, and
happy in his manner of expressing them
Mr. Stephens impresses his hearers
with the conviction that they are
listening to man of sagacity, of clear,
common sense, and one, too, who is
fully convinced of the truth of whatever
he asserts.
Mr. Stephens is no reconstructionist
He believes that the worst thing that
could happen to the confederacy would
be reunion with the Northern States.
Misery and degradation, worse than
Ireland ever experienced, would be
our portion upon any reunion that could
be effected We must have independ
ence.
Differences of opinion may exist as
TO the policy of the measures proposed
and adopted, and of the means neces-
sary for the attainment of the ends de-
sired, but these differences should not
be allowed to grow into bitterness of
feeling, and to make discord and divi
sion among ourselves We should
award 10 others the same honesty Of
purpose, which we know that we pos
sess Calmly and dispassionately, we
should approach every subject connec-
ted with the public defenses, having in
view only the good of our bleeding
country and the attainment of what we
all so deeply desire-an honorable
peace-which he thinks can only he on
the basis of State sovereignty
We Go not pretend to give the exact
language of Mr.. Stephens; but the
above, as we understood them, were
the sentiments expressed Various
other interesting topics were discussed,
some of which we shall take occasion
to advert to hereafter. The present
time and limited space forbids further
extension

DR.. COLEMAN'S
Private DispenSary.

While humanity continues to be inhrm
and man is prone to err, and the eonse-
quences are visited upon the unfortunate,
be should early seek relief from the misery
thus entailed. And the man who deyotes
his time and talent to the relief of this
species of human suffering is not less
Philanthropist than he who seeks to relieve
any other af1iction to which man is subject;
for true philanthropy looks not to what
caused the trouble, but what will cure it.
DR.. COLEMAN has devoted large portion of
his time to the cure of the class of dis
eases mentioned in his advertisement in
to-day's paper. He has duly qualified
himself by study and experience to perform
what he promises. He has been located in
our midst for several years, and the testi-
monials OF the press which he has
quoted in his card, are a guarantee 70 the
afflicted for his skill and attainments.

General Forrest gave a short account
of his maneuvres since he left the
army, little over year ago. Since
that time he had fought the enemy
every twenty-ffth day; had killed and
captured one thousand six hundred tory
Tennesseeans, and sixteen thousand
federal troops. As for gunboats, he re-
garded them as small fry; they made
considerable noise, but that was all He
regarded his late fight with them at

for success were good.

Starvation in Lees Army.

Attempts have been frequently made
to deny the miserable condition to
which the rebel army is reduced but
we think the evidence of the deserters
both officers and privates, who arrived
at Washington from Lees army the
other day, settles that matter. They
give deplorable account of their pri-
vations. Indeed, their appearance fur
nished proof enough of the truth OF
their language. They say that for six
months past they had nothing 10 eat
but a one meal ration of corn cake and
bacon a day, that our soldiers waste as
much provisions in day as the rebel
soldiers received in a week The poor
fellows shouted with delight when they
saw the Capitol and anticipated the

do not mean the Congressman, but the
contents of the cOmmissary stores in
