A circular letter from Provost MarshaI
General Fry to Colonel Wilcox, A. A. P. M.
G. of Ohio, dated 18th inst, contains some
important directions concerning the draft
to come off this week, and the subsequent
treatment of the drafted men. Its materi-
al rovisions may be given as follows;
Drafted men must report within three
days after receiving the notice informing
them of their names having been drawn.
Examinations are to be made for sub-dis-
tricts precisely in the order which they
were drawn. No draft is to be made for
any deficiency until the examinations
have been completed in all the sub-dis-
tricts of the District. Meantime, recruiting
may continue, and all recruits so gained
shall be credited promptly up to the time
of beginning the supplementary draft,
which, if it becomes necessary, will con-
tinue and be governed by the same princi-
pies as the first until the entire quota is
filled. Drafted men after having reported
and undergone examination may be permit
ted leaves of absence by the enrolling board,
but not to exceed five days. If the quota Of
sub-district shall be filed by volunteers
after the draft, but before the drafted men
are sent to the general rendezvous, then all
the latter shall be excused. Every addi-
tional volunteer after the draft will excuse
one drafted man, taking the names from
the list in the reverse order in which they
ware drawn but in no instance will sub.
ally or by action of local authorities, may
furnish substitutes up to the time when
they are to be sent to the rendezvous.

LAURA KEENE.-A large, fashionable and
highly respectable audience greeted this
charming Coincidence last night at Brain.
ards Hall. She appeared as miss Hard
castle" in Goldsmith s famous Comedy, "she
stoops to conquer" sustained most ably by
Mr.. Dyott, Mrs. Wilkins, Mr.. Doud, and
others of her excellent Company. The
parts were carried admirably, and it would
be impossible to say who was the best act
or. Never have we seen an audience so
universally delighted and satisfied. This
evening will be presented Sheridan
Knowles beautiful Comedy, ga Love
Chase, with Miss Keene as "Constanee." Z"
Truly the Dramatic season has opened
most auspiciously. With such "Stars'
as Laura Keene and her company in our

night, laugh at dull care, snd be merry

An ELEGANT AND CosTLY TEsTINOEIAL.-A
magnificent service of plate has been on
exhibition for some time at Ball, Black &
Co.'s, Broadway, which for its uniqueness,
exquisite finish and intrinsic value; sur
passes any piece of artistic skill and work
manship of the kind ever produced by an
American or English establishment. The
articles are enclosed in very large glass
case, which is placed in the centre of the
store, attracting at once the attention of the
visitors, who fail not to examine and ad-
mire this beautiful specimen of American
genius and skill. Indeed, some of the best
European judges of articles of vertu pro
nounce this TO be the finest specimen of its
kind that they ever witnessed The ser
vice consists of four vegetable dishes, four
wine coolers, three salvers and other small
articles, of solid silver, richly gilt and
beautifully chased, together with magni-
ficent shaft of column, representing in
scale of eighteen feet two hundred miles
of the Atlantic and Great Western Railroad,
which was completed in two hundred days.
1t would be difficult to give the reader
correct idea of the ingenuity and taste ex-
hibited in the construction of this column;
but some conception of its beauty may be
formed when we state that it also
is solid silver, thickly gilt, and
elaborately chased, the smaller columns
representing commerce and industry, while
portraits of the leading men connected
with the railroad are suspended in the cen
ter. There are thirty thousand words and
figures upon it, and every gradein in the road
is distinctly indicated. Five months ofthe
time of one of Ball Blacks best engravers
were spent in engraving this column, on
which the following inscription is record.

AoADEMY OF MUsIo.-0PENING NIGHT,-
The dramatic season in our city was open
ed, at the Academy of Music, last evening,
by the performance of that excellent stand
ard comedy "still Waters Run Deep by
Mr.. Ellsler's new company. We regret
that SO excellent bill, so successfully and
me itoriousl presented, was not greeted with
a better house. The audience was but
moderate in size, although those present
were evidently greatly delighted with
our new entertainers and their
performance. The part of John
Mildmsy was rendered by Mr.. Evelyn
Evans with power and truth which we
have seldom seen equalled. Mr.. Evans
displayed la night rare naturalness, ac-
curaey, culture, and vigor, and we are
sure that he cannot fail of great success
with Cleveland audiencies. Mr.. Simeoe
Lee, as Captain Hawksley, gave US some
spirited and forcible acting. Miss Adams
made her debut in the character
of eMrs Stembold," !" one not well calculat-
ed to display her brilliant talent, but her
success was still marked one. Miss
Minnie Lannier, will, we are sure, be pop
uIo-.- cl-a .s>>5e-- --,eet favorable iuPres-
sion as NMrs. Mildmay" The remainder
of the company we're also most successful.
The two Buzzards, the farce of the eve
ming, was capitally rendered, James Lewis,
our Cleveland favorite, being, of course,
the reigning star. The other characters
were accePtably presented by Messrs. Lee
and Stephens, Mrs. Bradshaw and Miss Is
abella Hewitt
This evening Bulwer's great drama, ''The
Lady of Lyons" will be presented with
Mr.. Evans as Claude Melnotte and Miss
Adams as Pauline.
The following list comprises the names Of
the new company:
observation-disclosures. Evelyn Evans, Sim
coe Lee, Geo. B. Hudson, r. Stephens
James Lewis, B. A. Locke, I. v Jones
Walter Shannon, C. B. Martin, II. Wright

speculations. The cavalry in advance on that
occasion, mum bering 5000, had 265 wagons,
which We know had confused and oostructed
the whole action, and brought disaster. He
could not see what that number Of cavalry
wanted with eos wagons for transportation,
unless 1t was to gather up the products OF the
MI. Conness said he desired to state on what
he considered the best Of authority that these
wagons were part OF the regular train Of that
army, and whatever might be the defects OF
the generalship which brought them there, the
statement that .ney were intended to bring IN
cotton was not correct.
Fir. Henderson said he made no charge OF
himself, but it was singular that disaster Iol-
lowed these statements. He had letter from
near Grand Ecore, dated four days before inc
Gen. Banks and Admiral Porter, and stating
that the latter was seiZing cotton On land as
naval prize, and predicting disaster. THESE
predictions, results had seemed to condrm-at
least the public mind seemed to so regard 1t.
He hoped the statements were incorrect, and
if there had been no disagreement between Ad-
miral Porter and Gen Banks, let II be Known.
Oosss declared tns statement pnrtsr crq Ta
had the very highest authority for saying this.
Mr.. Henderson was glad the gentleman
could SO authoritativeiy deny the state
ment. which was only newspaper authority:
Admiral Porter, and thought highly OF him.
But these statements were having their effect
upon the public mind, and it should be en-.
lghtened. a-. ~. -.r-. H.. ,,-s--r.5.,,
The resolution was then adopted as amended.
HoUsE.-Mr. McCturg, OF Missouri, rose to
a personal explanation in relation 10 the re.
port Of the select committee ON the charges
against F. B. Blair. He charged that the emil
itary member had the audacity to assan the
radical members of that State by inserting in
his printed speech personal matters he never
uttered on this floor. He (Mr- McClurg) main.
tained that the evidence showed that the s'mili-
tary member was implicated in the liquor
speculation and that there was primd fdcie
evidence that somebody violated the laws. He
replied at length to the recent speech OF MIR:
Blair; charging that the /" military member
was vulnerable not only in his heel bat all
over his body; and, after the i" military mem.
ber's" attack upon him, was 1t to be expected
he should remain silent He charged that Mr..
Blair was animated by q yindictve.
Mr., Schenck, from the Committee on Military
Affairs, reported back the Senate bill to equal
ize and increase the pay OF the soldiers. He
will call it up at an early day.
Mr.. Higby, Of California, replied to some re.
agents were implicated in frauds.
Mr.. Clay, OF KY, gave his views.
