witnessed the performance were, a. on the
previous occasion, perfectly delighted. II
possible, the scenes were better represent
ed aud ELECTED more applause than on the
frat evening, and the music was most sx-
ceIlent. We have heard many persons
express surprise at the good taste displayed
BY the ladies in all their arrangements,
and the perfectueSs with which the show
has been presented to the public.i No
body anticipated that they were to be
treated to such grand exhibition. The
ladies have worked untiriugly, and We are
very glad that their patriotic and humane

While the Administration journals were
in the actof executing grand chorus OF
applause To the President for his Message,
The New York Hvald-aj Journal that takes
I'd itself much Of the credit Of re-electing
LlScoIS suddenly struck a discordant
note, and has, therefore, Jared the harmo-
ny of the performance. AS If by some
miraculous power, light is flashed upon its
mind that the Message does not, either by
accommodation or otherwise, furnish a
hope of a speedy termination OF the war,
and it strikes out thus:
sGratifying, however, as are all the posi-.
tive proofs OF the augmented strength ef
the loyal States. and the vastly diminished
area and distracted. impoverished, de-
pleted and exhausted condition oi the Da-
Wis Contederacy. the question still recllrs,
what has the President to propose In view
yof the speedy suppression of the disjointed
rebel armies? We have now over twenty
six millions of people within the Union
lines, against less than five millions (oyer
one-half negro slaves within. the lines OF
Davis. All things considered, the actual,
positive, available strength OF Lincoln
against Davis is more than twenty against
one. The war, then, should be at the far
thest brought to an end within six months.
and with becoming energy on the part OF
the Administration it might be finished IN
three. Yet President Lincoln talks as II
expecting it to last another year. From all
that is proposed by the President for the
assistance of General Grant, we might log
iually conclude that the struggle Is to be
permitted to drag along through another
circle of the fnur seasons

not expect too much from SHERMAN's ex-
petition. We are told
This, then, is the time to interpose not
unnecessary caution. We are so apt to
grow enthusiastic over our victories, and
call them overwhelming, that there is dan
ger of popular reaction when the real re-
suits of Gen. Sherman's operations become
known.
Already men are talking about the COM
plete isolation of Alabama aud Mississippi
from the rebel Cohfederaey, as ii General
Sherman's march had lett Chinese wall
la its wake; aud about concentration OF
all our forces on Lee, as If Lee alone re-
niained to conquer. But it is idle to un-
nerve ourselves with these pleasing delu-
si0ns. F
General Sherman has, by brilliant stroke
or audacity, marched across the territory

tearing up railroads, laying waste some sec
tions. Let us not forget that destroying
rebel property is hot destroying rebel
armies. Hoods army remains; Lees army
remains; aud till they are conquered, march
ing about INSIDE the SHELF may serve to
show it's hollowness, but will not keep the
armies from turning up quite lively on it'
circumference. d s.ls
AZ The fall of Savannah may be accepted al
reasonably certain; Ia fact the War Depart
ment considers it already practically as

Then certain amount of destruction along
the line of march, interruption OF commu-
nications and the like is secured; bun that II
only temporary. Transfer Sherman iron
Atlanta TO Savannah, and the enemy may
soon open their lines again across the tract

Ben w. Morrison was one of those free
and-easy, good hearted, humorous fellows
that was always ready to crack q joke or
perpetrnte a sell.'
some fifteen years ago Ben was travel
ing in Butler county on professional busi-
ness. The roads were tolerably bad; and
worst of all the stage drivers and the land
lord at certain hotel where they stopped
for dinner, had an understanding with each
other like this: the passengers were taken
IN to dine, and when cleverly seated. the
coach would furiously dash up to the door,
and the driver would call for his passengers,
stating that he could not delay minute on
lccount OF making his time.
They would rush out, leaving their meals
half finished, for fear of being LETT. For
half dollar. The vctuals were kept for
the next load of passengers, when the skin
ming process was repeated. t trf
Ben had heard OF this place, and when
they arrived at the hotel he set h S wits to
work to see if he could get the value OF his
money. ffs- f ~ 4-7E 81.
, The bell rang for dinner, and the crowd
rushed in. They had hardly got comforts
ably seated when the coach refined up be-
fore the door, and the driver vociferously
shouted: We ., .-
Passengers alt aboard-cdI't wait but
five minutes"
4 A general rush was made, but Ben sat
still, and ate his dinner very composedly.
the stage drove off and lett him, but he
seemed to care very little about 1t.
Having disposed of his dinner. he was en-
joying the luxury of long nine In the side
room. when the landlord approached him,
saying: .ufn,t
"I-beg your pardon, sir, but did you
see set of silver teaspoons on the table
when you went to dinner?"
~ did SIR"
''Well, they are missng-can'tb be found"
"Ah, yes" replied Ben; zone of the pas
sengers gathered them up-I saw him do
it,"
"Would you know him again?" gasped
the landlord.
Certainly | would" replied Ben, with
great cOolmess.
"Will you point him out to me If hitch
up my horse aud buggy, and overtake the
stage?"
Certainly will"
Boniface was ready in a few minutes, and
getting Ben in with him, drove like Jehu
for seven miles, till he overlook the driver.
The coach stopped, the driver looked fright
ened and ever, body wondered to see the
ldiluloTu CpNtTcu WIN lluu, anu MS hOiSS
covered with sN eat.
Ben jumped out OF the buggy, and got into
the stage, when tile driver. thinking that lie
had hired the landlord TO bring him after,
was on the point of driving off when the
latter yelled out
Is that passenger in there"
Yes" replied Ben.
''Are you sure?"
"Yes, sir-ee," shouted our batchelor
friend.
(which one is ii r.
Its me-" replied Ben, with grin.
Your thuhdered Boniiace-" what
the d-l did you do with the spoons?"
II put them in the coffee pot; you will
find them all safe" replied Ben, with Gu
rious twinkle in his eye.
''Sold, by ginger, by that darned Yam
kce!' yelled the landlord, whilst the pas
sengers roared in laughter, and putting the
whip to his horse drove back, resolving I"
give the passengers ever afterwards ample
time for dinner.
