CAIRO, ILL.,, Jan. IL.
The steamer Forsythe, from Memphis l4th,
has arrived with 100 bales cotton, and the
steamer Lydia Franklin with $50 bales for
Cincinnati.
A refugee from Richmond, who travelled
via the Wilmington, Mobile & Ohio Railroad
10 Okolona, gives the Memphis Bulletin q
long account of the condition of affairs in the
Coniederacy. He describes society in Rich
mond as terribly demoralized 10 all classes.
There was most extraordinary large num-
Der of rebel officers there, and 1t was said that
there was large number of Union men there
also. The same Generalization existed in
Mobile. A proposition had been made in the
rebel Congress to conscript negroes for SOL
diers, but 1t was vigorously opposed by the
members from Virginia, Georgia and North
Carolina.
Bishop Polk commands the department of
the Mississippi, in place of Gen. Johnston,
whose assumption of the command of the
army was very imposing, while their denunci-
alton of Bragg was bitter.
Braggs army is completely demoralized and
scattered throughout the country, and the
men are deserving in large numbers.
II is the intention of the rebel government
to concentrate all the forces possible at that
point, check the advance of Gen. Grant, and
drive him back if possible.
The number of rebel troops west of the
Mississippi Is estimated at 10000.

THEATRE.-The new drama of "The Ticket
of Leave Man. was performed for the fist
time in Portland last evening to large audi
ence. The plot of the play is as follows
The hero is young countryman, who, upon
the death Of a relative leaving him some mon
ey, goes to London to see life, and squanders
his money and his time in the company OF a
thief, who appears TO belong to rather mixed
class of rogues, being at times "shover" of
counterfeit bank notes, forger of mercantile
bills, and burglar. BY lending his dupe
counterfeit bank notes, which are detected and
cause his arrest the thief gets him sent to
Jail for four years, but the good conduct of
the convict procurcs his release on ''ticket
Of leave" Released from prison, he is fortu-
nate enough to obtain honest employment,
and conducts himself well, but is discovered
by his old associate, exposed and discharged,
and is Systematically hunted down in the same
manner through four months, until, driven to
despair, he is deemed fit for crime, and his old
enemy proposes to rob his late employer.
This he feigns to join in, with view to secure
the arrest and punishment of the william, in
which he succeeds.
The characters in the play were well cast,
and 1t was admirably performed, eiiciting great
applause from the audience. 1t will be per
formed again this evening. We would sug-
gest the shortening, if possible, of the time
between the acts.

MATT ERS ABOUT TOWN.

DIABoLICAI AFrAIR.-A ilendsh attempt
was made last week to poison the family OF
Mr.. C. V. Bosworth, residing at No. 80, Dan
forth street, but which, providentially, was
unsuccessful.
The facts as we learn them are these. A
servant girl named Margaret Wallace, residing
in the family, was suspected Of larceny, and
was discharged Wednesday evening. She re-
NAMED in the house some hours after having
been told that she was discharged. After
supper, the teakettle, as usual, was filed with
water, ready for morning, and placed in the
sink. In the evening, Mrs. Bosworth went
down into the kitchen, and found the kettle
had been removed to the stove, and that
some one had been doing something with it.
On lifting the cover, white substance was
found floating on the top Of the water. Nothing
was thought Of this until some time after,
when, the matter being talked over in the
family, suspicious were raised. These sus-
picions were confirmed upon finding paper
under the stove containing white powder,
which, upon being submitted TO an apotheca-
ry, was at once pronounced to be arsenic. The
contents of the paper and the contents of the
teakettle were submitted next day to DIR. II.
T. Cummings, State Assayer, who Analysed
them and pronounced them both to be arsenic,
further stating that il the water had been made
into coffee, one cup of il would have destroyed
the life of the person who drank it.
Under these circumstances the girl has been
arrested, and is held for examination.
