NV THEArRE.-The second week Of
the gress tragedienne. Miss AvOhiA Jones,
is drawing 10 . close. To night she
takes benefit, when she will appear IS
Modes, in the play Of that name, and
also IS JulianA, in the Honey Moon. Il
talent is appreciated in Nashville, and
we believe it is, in great measure, then
viii every seat in the house be crowded.
We seldom set out whole play; but the
excellent manner in which Miss Jones
renders ali the characters he.assumes, has
made an exception in her favor; it IL
impossible to see her, without being in
teresled; interested in : manner which
demands continuous,and undivided atten-
ton from the rising of the curtain to the
conclusion of the play.
Her rendering of Camille was such as
might have been expected from an actress
who appears thoroughly to understand
the passions, and how tO,,give them utter
snce. She has no sfFectation; she makes
no effort TO initiate the characters she
represents; but rather assumes the place
Of the originals; weeping IS they Wspt;
loving IS they loved; anathematizing IS
they anashemitizsd; fOrgiving as they
foTgaVe.
Her iinimitable Leah was repeated
night before last, and last night Garcia
was rendered, for the first time, to 3
Nashville audience. The plaudits with
which Miss Jones was greeted, evincs
their opinion Of its merits, and Of the
merits Of The actress.
Again we will refer TO the exceedingly
able manner ia which Mr.. LefingweH be g
sustained his parts. Hs has become
universal fsvorite, among the pleasure
loving public.
THEATRE.-The distinguished trage-
dian, J. Wilkes Booth, takes his farewell
benef, tonight, his engagement closing
the following evening. The entertain
msnts will commence with Shakspeare's
tragedy, "The Merchant in Venice" and
close with Catherine and Petrucbio," q
Shakspearian comedy. In the former,
Mr.. Booth appears as ShylOck; in the
latter as petruheio. The pieces have
been well cast, fnd we may expect them
to be produced in the most brilliant
style.
Mr.. Booth came amongst us 4 stranger,
his reputation as rising star having
preceded him, creating a general desire
amongst our play gOers to get "taste of
his quality" His first night was . splen-
ded ovation; the theatre being densely
packed, every foot of standing room oc-
cUpied, and numbers sent away unable
TO get in. Nobly did be fulfill expecta-
tons, and establish himself as favorite.
Every succeeding performance has been
but repetition Of bis successes. In no
part has be failed. His genius appears
equal to anything the tragic muse has
produced; and the time is not distant
when he viii attain the highest niche of
professional fame. His engagement here
will not soon DO forgotten, by any who
have attended the theatre, and the re-
cords Of that establishment will trans
init it to those who follow after him as
The best played here during this most
wonderful and most eventful of dramatic
seasons.
We expect to see the house literally
overnowing tonight. Gentlemen with
ladies should make it point to go early
to be sure Of seats.

CAPT. JAMES DAvIs.-The Gazette Of
yesterday makes the following statement
relative to Capt. James Davis, whose
death we recorded on the 10Th inst:
We converssd yesterday with a gentle
man who resides in the same section of
the country with the late Capt. Davis,
who assures US that Cspt. D. was not at
tached TO the Confederate service, but
since his residence in that section, has
been actively engaged in Kidding the
country of numerous bands of plumber
ers who have been at large throughout
that section. The many depredations
committed by deserters from both armies
upon innocent persons in his immediate
neighborhood, induced him to organize .
squad for his own protection and that of
others. aud in that cspscity he did good
service, compelling frequently deserters
TO return TO their commands in the Fed
eral service, and killing in self defence
others who represe oted themselves IS
Oonfederates. At one time he prevented
q squad of cavalry from taking of the
only blankets in the house of q widow
who lived near him, being compelled OF
that time to kill Texan Ranger, and re-
ceiviDg himself two wounds IN the arm.
We make this statement upon the su-
thority Of one who knew him well, and
is satisfied that he kept faithfully bis
allegiance to the Government.
It is possible that the company ergsn-
lied by Capt. Davis was of some SER
vice as the Gazette states, bat il was an
organization unknown to the laws and
uncognizsd By either the civil or mill
larry authorities of the United States or
the Richmond despotism. Unfortunately
for Captain Davis, on Thursday the 4th
inst he with his company of forty men
fought portion of Gen. Payne's federal
cavalry at Whites Plains. he was dFiv-
en- from the field and subsequently killed
as We stated Wednesday, in White cOun-
ty, near the OVerton and White county
line. We would not do Capt. Davis in
justice; but If he kept faithfully his
allegiance to the government, resisting
United State troops with arms was not
the way to show it.
