BENEFIT of Miss St. Clair tonight.

THE OPERA HoUsE-BENEFIT OF MISS ST.
CLAIR.-There was good audience at the
Opera House last night, considering the Vi
olent snow storm early in the evening. The
romantic drama of the "Gipsy" went off
with eclat. The scenes presented were
beautiful, wild, romantic, and the incidents
thrilling and startling. Miss Sallie st. Clair
never appeared to better advantage, and
this is saying great deal, than as Cynthia,
the Zingara. Her looks, manner and voice,
showed that she had true conception Of
the character she was portraying.
The other characters in the drama found
their proper representatives in Messrs. Hud
son, Howard, Lewis and Ellsler, and Mrs.
Ellsler, Mrs. Bradshaw, and others of the
Opera House company. The Gipsy dance,
the songs, the auction, the grand tablcaux,
Sc, were excellent, and elected general ad-
miration and applause.
Tonight that accomplished artistic, Miss
Sallie st. Clair, takes benefit, and one of
the most splendid bills of the season is pre-
sented for the occasion. Mr.. Charles Bar
rass will appear in his original, eccentric,
and exquisitely humorous personation Of
Vertigo Morbid in thecomedy of the SHY
pochondriac," in which Miss st. Clair will
also appear as Martha Snifkins. She will
also personate the principal character in
the noted drama, full of romance and fine
scenery, called "The Wept of the Wish
Ton-Wish."
We predict this evening will witness one
of the largest and finest audiences that ever
graced the proscenium of the Opera House.

Rebels HOpefuI-Longstree Pro-
poses 10 Return Dcserfers.

WASHINGTON, Marcn 9.-The Charlotte,
N. c., Bulletin of Feb. Doth says: Every
thing we hear tends to increase our conf
dence and lift our hopes from the doubt in
which several weeks they have been buried.
Our authorities are alive to the emergency,
and although the task before them is hercu-
lean, we believe that success will reward its
completion.
The Richmond Examiner says that it is
stated that few days ago Gen. Longstreet
communicated with the enemy under flag
OF truce, and that the object of the COM
munication was to effect an arrangement
for the return of deserters on both sides.
The question of arming slaves is expected
to be decided to-day in the Confederate
Congress.

Sheridan Moving FOrward-His
Victory More Complete than Re-
nOrfeG

New YORK, March 9.-The Herald's
Winchester correspondent says deserters
who arrived at Winchester state that they
passed Sheridan on their way down. He
reached Woodstock, 30 miles from his
starting point, on the first day, and though
rain was falling, the roads very muddy and
the streams much SWOLLEN, his troops were
pushing forward rapidly. 1t was expected
that on the third day they would reach
Staunton, 0S miles up the valley, short
distance north of which town Early, with a
small rebel force, then was.
The Tribune's Washington special says
General Emory telegraphs from Winches-
ter that some ofour men coming in represent
Sheridan's victory over Early more COM
plete than any report we have had. When
last heard from he was pushing for the ca
nal running from Lynchburg to Richmond,
which he has doubtless seized and Destroy
ed before this.

Rebels Anticipating an Attack
from Grant-Begging Provisions
for Lees Army.

NEW YORK, March 9.-Richmond papers
still express the belief that Grant will at
tack Lees lines around Richmond as soon
as the ground will permit. The rebels be-
lieve that Grant has sent nearly all his
cavalry from the Armies of the Potomac
and James to Sheridan, in the Shenandoah
Valley.
A meeting to obtain subscriptions of pro-
visions for Lees army was held at Danville,
Virginia. In noticing it the Richmond
Wing says: Gen. Lees men must be fed or
we lose all.
The Danville Register is assured that it
does not enter into Lees plans to abandon
the rebel Capital unless, as is very prudent
ly and somewhat contradictorily added, it
becomes impossible to hold the city longer.

MEMPHIS, 9th, VIA CAIRO, Sth.-A fire

the wreck of the steamer Watson, recently
sunk near Napoleon. 27 persons are still
missing, all of Arkansas. The river bank

Deserters.

New YORK, March 0.-The Tribune's
Washington special says about 100 desert
ers took the oath to-day and started North.
They say far more are going South than
North, and that the dissatisfaction is gen.
eral throughout the whole army; that Lee
rode out through their camp and promised
them more food and clothes, and urged Them
to stand by him; but they concluded it
would not pay. In the last thirty days
there have been 1000 deserters received
here, 40 of whom were officers.

PeterMartin's Hot Air Furnaces.

Comm endn pms from Mr. r.. ID. * inss-
ley, Superintendent of the Co um bus
Public Schools, and from II II. Bar
ney, Superintendent of the Circle
Vile Union school.
COLUMBUS, February 10Th, 1866.
TO t1hOm this may Concern
Peter Martin, Of Cincinnati, has placed
his PATENT IMPROVED HoT AIR FURNA CEs
in our High School and District School No.
8. The Furnaces in District No. 5 have
been in use two years; those in the High
School during this winter. So far they
have given entire satisfaction. For efll-
cheney in warming, quality of heat, econo-
my of fuel, and promptness Of action, they
deserve special commendation. 1acheer-
fully recommend Mr.. Martins Furnaces to
any who may desire an excellent mode of
heating. f. d. KINGSLEY,
Supt. Of Public Schools of Columbus.
CIRCLEvILLE, Feb. 10th, 1865.
The Warm Air Furnace invented and
manufactured by Mr. Peter Martin, of Gin
cinnati, was put into the Union school
building OF this city in November last, and
thus far it has given entire satisfaction. 1t
surpasses other furnaces in the following
important particulars: 1t has, compare
lively a greater heating surface; produces
larger volume of heat with given amount
of fuel; the condition of the air in respect
to temperature, moisture and purity, is SUI
perior; the admission of cold air, the sup
plyof warm air for the several rooms, and
the fires, are more easily regulated.
To avoid scorching and decomposing the
air. as is done, to some extent, by other hot
air furnaces and to secure to each room an
abundant supply of pure, fresh air, warmed
to pleasant temperature, as well as to pro-
tect the wrought-iron air-hues from
the effects of the fire. it is essential that
the warm air-fues leading to the school
rooms, should be at least twelve
inches in diameter. This will insure the
influx of such large and rapid current of
fresh air as to prevent the wrought-iron
ilues from being overheated, and thus secure
the durability of the furnace, and keep the
warm air in heathful condition. 1t is
deemed proper to State in this connection,
that our Board of Education was induced
to order Mr.. Martins Furnace, because two
other furnaces had been previously used in
our school ediflce without satisfactory re-
suits, and because, after careful examina-
tion of a large number OF furnaces and
other of warming school houses and
other public editces, not only in Western,
but also in Eastern cities, Mr.. Martins was
believed to be decidedly the best.

Senator collamer died at Woodstock
Thursday night, but the legislature ut
Montpelier, fifty miles away, did not
hear of It before the adjournment FRI
day morning at o'clock, and Of course
did not take any action in the premises
The question arises now, can the Gov
ernor legally appoint Mr.. Collamer's
successor, seeing that the vacancy act
ually commenced while the legislature
was yet In session, and the law provides
for filling such vacancies by the Gov
ernor of State only when they occur
during tho recess Of the legislature.

Preme Court to give written opinion
us to whether he has the power to fiji
the vacancy or not, and will not act till
that decision is given. Meanwhile the
candidates for the vacant place grow
numerous, and, besides Representative
Morrill,, the Vermont papers mention
the names OF Luke p. Poland, o. p.
