painful, though not serious accident, that
one day last week befell Adjutant General
Schouler, of Boston, formerly OF this city

Ward, of Lebanon in this State, who was a
guest of the Generals. They had been on
pleasure trip to Chelsea Beach, and on
their return, the horses became suddenly
frightened at dummy engine which they
encountered, and grew unmanageable.
Gen. Schouler and Col. Ward were both
thrown violently to the ground, the former
sustaining injuries in the shape of broken
wrist and confusion about the head and
shoulders, and the latter having his left ell
bow dislocated and the arm broken above.
This arm was partially paralyzed by gun
shot wound received by Col. Ward some
months ago while in the service. u 81.
The wounds of both gentlemen were
properly dressed, and they were subsequent
ly brought in hack to the fremont House
in Boston. Gen. Schouler was out the next
morning, and Col. Ward was considered
comfortable, though he would probably re-
quire further surgical treatment at the hos
pital. r,,4.., ...t tr,te,.t.,.5

Mr.. JAMES Fl. HAcKETT, the great Shak-
.sperian tragedian' and humorist, makes his
first appearance in our city, on the boards
at, Ellsler's Atheneum, on next Monday
night, in the character OF Sir John Falstatf
in Henry Nv. Our readers will, doubtless,
remember the accounts in the papers Of the
admiration, expressed by the late President
Lincoln, of Mr.. Hackett's rendition of some
of the leading characters in Shakspeare's
plays, particularly Hamlet, Macbeth and
Sir John Falstaff. The actor seemed to
throw, as it were, a magic spell over the
President by the witchery Of his genius
and the viyidness and power of his impera
sonations. II was probably Mr.. Hackett's
fine acting that gave our late lamented
Chief Magistrate a sort of relish or passion
for dramatic Entertainments. BE this as it
may, thegreat artist is universally admitted
to beunrivaled in his exposition Of Shak-
speares best drawn characters, especially
the humorous ones, as Sir John Falstaff,
the greatest of them all. ~ b1a ii.Gg}'-

greatest events in, our city for many years,
will be chat of the Festival of the Germ an
Singing Societies, organized under the
name Eof the Saengerbund, which takes
place on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday

the Northwestern and other States. The
occasion will draw hither an immense con-
course of visitors, and will be interesting
alike to our citizens and strangers .'.
Extensive preparations, as we have al
ready noticed, are being made for this grand
Festival. No pains or expense will be spar
ed to render it, in all Its appointments, one
Of the grandest affairs that has ever trans
pired in the Capital City Of Ohio. We trust
that the citizens and the guests that may
come up hither to this great Singing Fes-
tival, will find in it. more than has been
anticipated by the most sanguine.

A New DODGE IN THIEvERY.-A curious
robbery occurred few evenings since at
Harrisburg. Pa, which illustrates a new
dodge for raising the wind. A soldier
made the acquaintance of young man
wearing citizens clothing, and the latter
proposed to him that they would go to the
river and bathe-which proposition was ac-
cepted, and they proceeded to the Susque-
hanna. Arriving there the soldier was the
first to enter the water. Unfortunately he
left his clothes behind a large rock, and
while he proceeded to bathe, his companion
picked the soldiers pocket of one hundred
and four dollars, and "eloped." This was
all the money the unfortunate man had and
ne is now penniless. He had been paid off
in the forenoon before the robbery occurred.

Rebel Peace commissioners.

FROM the Baltimore American |
A report has been current on the street since
Monday evening to the effect that the Richmond
Sentinel announced the departure of three
Peace Commissioners for Washington. The
effect on the gold market was such that it rap.
idly fellin all the principal cities. Up to this
time we have no official confirmation Of the
rumor, though the assertion was varied yester-
day by an equally positive announcement that
the commissioners, consisting OF the rebel Vice
President Stephens, and Senators r.. M T
Hunter and Campbell, had arrived at City
Point, and were expected at Annapolis. They
are not spoken OF as commissioners represent.
ing the rebel government but as citizens repre-
senting the people, on their way to Washington
to confer with President Lincoln on The subject
of peace, precisely in the same capacity that
Mr. Blair visited Richmond
We have nothing positive in relation to the
reliability OF these runors, except the following
dispatch, received from our Annapolis cores
pondent:
Especial Despatch to the Baltimore American I
ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 81, 12 m.-Col. Taylor OF
the I'd Maryland, who arrived here this morn
ing from City Point says that on Sunday last
and two others, whose names were not ascer.
tanned, requested permission to come within
our lines near Fort He'll, but were refused by
the picket officers until the return of General
Grant, who was absent at the time, When
Col. Taylor left City Point on Monday morn
ing nothing further was known on the subject,
and he does not know whether they had been
allowed to enter Hp to that time.
A second despatch from our correspondent,
dated at 10 O'Clock last night, states that no
boat had, mp that hour, arrived from Fortress
Monroe or James river, and Of course no peace
commissioners had come.
In connection with the report that Mr.. Ste
phens is at the head of the expected peace com
missioners, the following paragraph from the
Richmond Sentinel Of Saturday has some sig.
nifcance: -,.. .-....#
"It was a matter Of pleasant remark yester-
day that the President and Vics President had
been engaged in q long consultation on public
Affairs.
