rb.,,r,o.l Amusements,


The fsli season Is nov fairly inauyurated
at GRoyER's Theatre, under the able man
agemsnt Of c, D. HEss, Esq, who, as We
have had occasion % remark, has succeeded
in orgapi,ing an admirable oompsny, and Is
beginning to receive an ample reward for hh
efforts. This company is positively good
and those who have seen the companies made
up for the leading theatres in other cities
readily perceive that II is comparatively ex-
cellent. It would be difficult to point to
more than one or two that arc better. Last
night the house was 6lled to overfowing, and
n great amount Of entertainment was given.
TON TAYEoR's new play Of the "serf" the
scene Of which 10 laid in Russa, q recitation
Of that thrilling poem ''shamus o'Brien, !"
an attractive dance, and the amusing farce
Of the Model Husband - formed the bill
The "Serf' is full Of dramatic effects, and
was we'll played. The scenery is particularly
fine; Mr.. STRONG has no superior in getting
up magnificent scenery on short notice. Mt.
FnASK LAwLER surprised the, audience by
his elocutionary powers in reciting "shamus
o'Brien," and received q double call before
the curtain. The dancing charmed all who
remained to see II, and LAND convulsed the
audience with laughter in the aaerpiece.
We have seldom seen an audience more highly
pleased or one more determined to repeat the
pleasure of an evening at GRovER's.

Suburbs OF Washington.

Miss OLIVE LOGAN, in q sprightly letter
from Washington to the New York Leader
has the following, which, for certain reasons,
we commend to the attention of -:
Though confess to having passed over the
public buildings in an unceremonious man
ner, / penetrated into many charming retreats
about and near Washington, which, Colum-
bus-like, claim by the DISCOVERIES Right.
A long and delightful drive in the morning
air took us out in a something-or-otherly di-
rection from Washington, where, after pass
ing forts of all sorts, stockades, blockades,
guns, soldiers, bayonets, country people in
wagons, negroes on foot babies in arms, and
girls in sun bonnets, we brought up at an
unoultivated but attractive country place
known to all men by these presents, meaning
the presence of sign-board over the gate
way Saying that this was Crystal Spring.
Alighting at the inn we ordered breakfast,
and surely never since the days Of Sardanap-
aius was there seen so sumptuous repast.
Fair was foul, and fowl was our fare, and in
such profusion, too Eggs, butter, cheese,
milk and honey, in very faith. How we en-
joyed it, Such laughter and such glee! Alas,
this can only be appreciated by those per-
sons who, like us, in the words Of that
naughty old Macbeth, have good digestion
waiting on appetite, and health on both.

The w.stefuiness OF Slavery.

A gentleman who cultivates large farm
in Rockville, Maryland, and who was form
erly q STAKEHOLDER, declares that before the
war and the emancipation Of the blacks, his
slaves would eat up in the winter all they
raised in the summer, and thus he was con-
stantly brought into debt. During the last
four years he has hired his laborers, and has
made money rapidly by agriculture; while at
the same time the colored laborers have ac.
cumulated money. ....
He says ifthe old system could be restored
and the Government, or any other man, would
offer him the gin Of Eve hundred slaves he
would not accept them. f, This shows the
thriftlessness aud wastefulness of slave labor
in clear light.

From Mexico-The French In n Bad

NEW York, October 3.-The steamer Star
of the Union, with Now Orleans dates to the
23d Of September, has arrived here.
The city of Mexico correspondent Of the
Times says that the arrest of Liberals and
those suspected of Liberalism are so numer-
Gus that 1t will soon take one half the nation
to guard the prisoners.
The most barbarous orders are issued by
the French commanders. One is that every
man wearing leather shall be hanged.
The occupation Of Tehuacan caused great
sensation, owing to its Importance. 1t was
feared that all the Austrian detachments on
the road would be captured.
The Liberals hold the road between Mon
torey and Matamoras.
The French General Brincount, at Chihua-
hua, demands reinforcements, as his column
was not strong enough for Negrete's forces.
The French garrison is kept shut up in the
State Of Durargo by the Liberal Gen. Patoni
A French column of 1900 men were un-
able to move out of their encampment, forty
miles from Tampico, as the guerrillas had
captured all their mules and horses. The
Liberals hold the main towns in the State Of
Mexico. No one dares to go a league out
side of the city of Mexico.
| The Times correspondent says there is no
submission in these people, and tho coming
winter will show us struggle on grander
scale than we have yet witnessed.

NEGRo SUFFRAGE IN NoRTH CAROLINA
A vigorous push in favor of negro suffrage
has been made at Raleigh, by the establish
ment Of paper there, called the Journal
Of Freedom" for the purpose Of advocating
the abrogation Of all laws which make dis
tinction between men because Of their color.
The paper is published by Messrs. Books
and CRANE, and edited by E. P. Brooks, the
North Carolina correspondent of the New
York Times, and lately one Of the editors Of
the Raleigh Progress. The prospectus of
the paper is bold and fearless, and the efforts
it will make for the advancement Of the
freedmen must receive the encouragement of
all liberal men.
The project Of starting such a paper in the
heart Of former slave State obviates the OBJ
jections of the most rigid stickler for State
action on the suffrage question. Mr., BROoKs,
the editor, served four years in the army,
experienced the horrors Of several rebel dun.
geons, from which he escaped through his
personal daring and now proposes to give
the cause Of the rebellion n death-blow in
aiding TO elevate its former victims The
Journal Of Freedom is published weekly, at
four dollars per year.

IN ARKANSAS.
A Rat. ARat, Dead for n Ducat

An exciting scene was witnessed in street
car near Willard's this forenoon. A lady,
well dressed and of genteel and respectable
appearance, stepped into the car from the
Fourteenth street crossing, and upon taken
hor seat seemed to receive momentary
shock. She did not lose her presence OF
mind, however, but seized with energy a
portion of her apparel on one side Of her LAP
and called the conductor. That official ap,
preached, when the lady coolly said to him,
there is something under my dress which is
alive. Please to grasp it hard just where
have hold of it," The conductor did SO, and
felt living animal, which he choked with
his fist until 1t was paralyzed. The lady
meanwhile putting her hands under her dress
pulled forth a goods-iEed rat, whose rodent
career was soon permanently ended with q
few blows from the butt Of the drivers whip.
The impudent beast was cast forth into the
highway, and the horse-car went on its way
rejoicing, the passengers being divided in
opinion as to whether the rat was resident
of Willards' Hotel or tho cars of the Wash.
ington and Georgetown Railroad.
