HORSE STEALING has come to be an established
Constitution" among thieves, who see in horse or
mule valuable investment, to DO readily convert
ed into Treasury notes.
On Wednesday, horse was stolen from the farm
of George W. Chalkley, in Chesterfield county.
The same day, horse bell nging to Eugene Brady
was stolen from his stable in Rockets, which was
broken open by the thief
On Monday, horse was stolen from the lot of
William Sledd, Brook road, near the cattle pens.
On Thursday, two mules we're taken from the
premises of Dennis O'Neil, 18th street, near the
Central Railroad shops.
At the same time, the same thieves took two
mules from Thomas Rielley, living in the same
neighborhood.
The above are but small number of the horse
and mule thefls that perpetrated in and around
the city almost every day, We would suggest to
losers that they attend every Saturday morning
upon the horse sale carried at the horse market
on Council Chamber Hill. They might, we think,
occasionally be able to recognize their property
among the heterogeneous collection of animals Of
fered for sale there.

APPOINTMENT or KEEPER OF PUBLIC ARCHIVES
Major General Halleck has established in Richmond
Bureau of Public Archives, and appointed Col.

Since the occupancy of the city an almost incredible
number of books, maps, pamphlets, and other mat

nected history of it, have been slrrepttiously re-
moved from the city by persons ambitious Of pre-
serving mementoes of the "Rebel Capital" TO I'LL

In contamination OF the undertaking, all officers
and men in the service Of the United States, all
citizens and all persons heretofore in the service OF
the 'so-called Confederate States, having in their
possession such documents, are required to imme-
diately deposit them in the Archives Rooms. All
such articles belonging to officers OF the alleged
government, who have fed this jurisdiction and
these lines, are held TO be now the public property
of the United States.
1t is further ordered that all documents Of this
character, found in any public Office of the military
department, be carefully preserved, with view OF
turning them over to COL Cults, with whom all Off
GERS and men are OF dered to cooperate to the end

MUSICAL Undoubtedly one of the best brass
bands'which have delighted the public ear of Rich.
mond with the discourse of genuine music, is the
band of the oath Massachusetts, regiment. Ere.
quent rehearsals and artistic comprehension of the
dynamic harmonies render the performances of this
band almost perfect. Several of its members con.
stitute "glee club" and it is no exaggeration to
say that their vocalism would delight the most Sc.
we're critic. We hope that they will be induced to
give public concert before their departure from
the city.
The band is stationed at present vt the head.
quarters of the Gath, corner of Franklin and 18th

PROPERTY WITHIN THE BURNT DIsTRIcr.-Owners
of the lots in the burnt district are nearly all
moving in the matter Of getting their property in
the market, either for sale lease. Their FIRST
choice is to rebuild thereon themselves, if they
could get accommodation in the way of loans; but
the money is.not to be had in the South, and time
enough has not elapsed for Northern capital to
offer itself. Almost any reasonable rate of inter-
est would be paid upon such loans, but the money
is not here; hence the efforts of lot owners to sell
or lease to Northern men in search of sites for
stores and dwellings.

VAcoINATIoN ORDER.-In consequence of the
existence Of some cases of small pox in the city,
and the threatened spread of the disease, Brig.
Gen. Dent, Military Commandant, yesterday issued
an order directing the vaccination of every inhabi-
tant, white and black, who has not heretofore
been-vaccinated for the disease. Gratuitous vac
cination will be performed at the U. S. DISPENSE
ry, corner of Broad and sth streets; at the Libby
Prison Hospital, and at the Stuart Hospital, head
of Main street.
The commanding officers of regiments are direct
ed to see that the order is carried out by the sur
geons in charge. The order will be found pub
lished on the "officiaP' page this morning. A
prompt compliance with its requirements on the
part of citizens will perhaps save the city from the
scourge of this loathsome pestilence.

AMUsEMENTs.-The great military drama OF the
French Spy was put upon the stage Of the New
Theatre, last evening, in unexceptonable style by
Manager Ogden, and Mile Ravel sustained a new
triumph in the succession of characters in which
she appeared as the Spy. The sword combat be-
tween Mile Rayel and Mr.. Fannin, during the play,
was thrilling episode, and her dexterous hand
ling of the weapon, not TO speak disparagingly of
Mr.. Fannin, drew upon her all the applause of the
audience Her subsequent performance upon the
tight-rope stamped her the queen of air and mo-
tion7-the title to which her admirers lay claim to
for her.
The funny burletta of the Dutch Actor showed
Mr. Glenn of to good advantage in his humorous
vein of the actor, ,Mein Her Won Sphoff.
Mile Ravel and Mr.. Glenn make their last ap-
pearance in this city tonight, unless the Manage
ment effects their re-engagement, which we hope
will be done. Monday night change of programme
is effected by the debut OF Sharpley's Minstrels,
said to be inimitable. Mr.. S. s. Sanford, Of San
fords Opera House, Philadelphia, is among them.

GOOD NEWs-THE LABOR CUES.
TION. ....-

We take pleasure in announcing to our
citizens, and to the planters and farmers
of the adjacentscounties of Virginia aand
North Carolina that at last a practlc al
step has been taken to furnish them with
all the assistance they may need in the
way OF farm hands, house servants. &c.
DR.. James E. Bell now of this city, but
ormerly OF Princess Anne county has
AIKEN this matter in hand He has recent
ly visited New York and after full and
free interchange of views, with the Com
missioners Of emigration in that city, on
the subject OF emigration to this section,
rs is so firmly impressed with the utility
and feasibility of the work of supplying
labor to our farmers and others, that he
has determined 10 undertake the matter,
and to put it into operation at once. lie
will issue his circular in few days set
ting forth his plans, and inviting orders
for laborers from all portions of Virginia
and North Carolina. The benefits to be
derived from such public benefaction to
the states of Virginia aud North Carroll
ma are too obvious to need comment al
our hands. That plantation stripped
Of it's labor, can be refurnished with all the
labor the planter may need, at cost of a
few hundred dollars,is fact Of such vital
importance, that to mention it suffici-
ent to revive the hopes of all, and to give
us the strongest assurance OF future
wealth and prosperity. ass
The public spirit which has lmpelled
DR.. Bell to undertake this matter, is wor.
thy of all commentator. In seeking the
public good, he may, as he should be,
personly benefited. But what rewards
would be too great to bestow on any citi-
zen, who shall re-populate our deserted
farms and set this wilderness to blossom
again, an the rose DIR. Bell, will in few
days open an office in this city for the
transaction Of this particular business In
the meantime, we call the attention of all
to this important subject and bespeake
