New York, May 2.-The steamer Guild
ing Star arrived from New Orleans 25th
and HAVANA 2Sth. The destruction of the
rebel ram Webb is fully confirmed. She
passed New Orleans under heavy fire OF
our war vessels, the Sackawana sending a
250 pound shot through her bows. Only
one vessel, the Hollyhock, Lieut.. Command
er Gherrardi, was ready to follow, which
kept close upon the track Of the Webb un-
til 2S miles below the city. The rebel saw
the sloop Of war Richmond ready for action,
and turned for the shore, the lIOllyhock
going straight at her. The Webb's officers
and crew fired her in several places and fled
into the swamps. Boats from the Holly
hook boarded her and saved one man, aban-
doned asleep aboard, but were unable to
put out the flames, from the inflammable ma
ture of the cargo and the explosion of the
magazine. There were 2l7 bales of cotton
aboard, besides rosin and turpentine. 1t
seems the pilot of the Richmond knew the
Webb. Two of her crew had given them
selves up.
The New Orleans Times of the 25th says
the steamer Gen. Hodges came out of Red
riveron the 23d under flag of truce, for
the purpose of negotiating with Colonel
Spraguc, Chief of-Staff of Gen. Hope, for
the surrender of Gen. Kirby Smith and his
force. Col. Sprague left Cairo on the gun
boat Lexington for the purpose OF meeting
Gen. Hodges at the mouth Of Red river, and
there can be little doubt that Kirby Smith
has surrendered his entire force. The terms
of surrender are those profered by Gen.
Grant to Gen. Lee.
The Lexington and Hodges were at last
accounts anchored at Hog Point, few
miles below the mouth of Red river.
The surrender of the rebel Secretary NAL
lory at Pensacola is confirmed.
Eight millions of greenbacks had arrived
at New Orleans to pay our troops, and as
much more was on the way.
Claiborne, has also been occupied by our
cavalry under Gen. Lucas, after victory
over a regiment of rebels north of Mount
Pleasant, the rebels losing ten killed, fifteen
wounded and twenty-five prisoners. Our
loss is three killed and nine wounded. Five
hundred bales of cotton were secured.

OPERA HOUSE. The audience at the
Opera House was much larger last night
than on the preceding evening, and will be
nightly increased as the merits of the new
company become known and duly appreci-
ated. We are not much in favor of single
artist playing the role of Proteus, but were
most agreeably disappointed last night in
Miss Williams representation of the sun
mentionable gentleman and the other
characters into which she was transformed.
There was such yerisimilitude preserved
throughout that the original parsonage was
clearly discernible in all the transfgura-
tions. This gave an air of reality to the
scenes presented, and created an intense in
terest In the progress and denouement of the
play.
IT must suffice to say that the other per-
sonages in the drama were handsomely and
artistically personated by Messrs. Vincent,
Kent, Hayden, Davies, Gross and Howard |;
Misses Turner and Van Osten, Mrs. Weaver
and others. The farce at the close went off
finely. .a'.s.t 'aA.
Tonight the play ofA"The Irishman's
Heart" will be produced-Phelin Nolen by
Mr.. Vincent and Milly Nolen by Miss VIII
liams. "The Stage Struck Tailor will wind
up the entertainment. slas
We assure our play-going friends who
have not yet visited the Opera House this
week, that, the members of the new COM
pany, If not numerous, possess versatility
and dramatic forceltha enable them to give
frst-class representations. j.; s,S wv

Davis and His Cabinet.

NEW YORK, May 2.-The Herald's CORES
pondent says Davis remained in Danville
six days, under the greatest suspense, fail
ing to hear from Lee, who was expected to
reach that place and make the Staunton
river his line of defense. The news of the
surrender finally came, brought in by scouts,
but was disbeleived. 1t was kept secret,
however, as long as possible, and when it
became known there was panic. The
next morning there was a general exodus.
Stonefnans men were between Danville
and Greensboro, and fired on the train that
carried Davis and his cabinet away. ~, G.

FAMILY GRooERIEs:-One of the finest
grocery establishments in this, and we may
say, in any western city, is that of Messrs.
MColm, Miles & McDonalds, at 124 South
High street. Their stock, in all that per-
tains to the grocery business, is extensive
and well-selected. Especially, in family
groceries, as we know by the test of trial,
they keep on hand articles of the best quail
ity, and dispose of them at as reasonable
rates as any other dealers. The choicest
articles of imported and domestic produc-
tion, including the best wines, cordials,
liquors, &c. may be found at Messrs.
M'Colm, Miles &c M'Donalds. We COM
mend this firm to the patronage OF our
readers and the public.

AncIent Fine Arts,

To the Editor Of The New York Herald:
Respecting the relics of porcelain ware
found In the late examinations at Hcrculan-
cum, which have been forwarded to the
Society of Antiquities in London, whereof
your correspondent says the bottle resembl-
ing brakes Plantation Bitters was un-
doubtedly placed among the ruins by the
agent of DR.. Drake, we desire to state that
he is incorrect in every respect. Ifa bottle
was found there bearing our lettering, the
language of the Ancient Romans was diff
ferent from the accepted literature Of that
day. Our Agent has other business than
this in Europe, and has not been in Italy at
all. No doubt Americans carry Plantation
Bitters to Rome; but trying to impose upon
a society of Antiquarians in this way seems
quite useless, and we do not appreciate the
joke. 1t is unnecessary for us to spend
money in Europe while we are unable to
supply the demand for these celebrated
Bitters here. Respectfully,

SHOT AT AND WoUNDED.-As Mr.. John
Schoonover citizen of Brown township,
was riding homeward from the city on
horseback, one evening last month, in the
vicinity of the first toll-gate on the Nation
al road, west, he was assailed by rowdy
party, who tried to pull him off his horse
After getting clear Of these rufliians, he was
shot at by some person unknown, but who,
Mr.. Schoonover thinks, was one Of the as
saulting party. The ball entered at the
lower portion of the shoulder blade, and
glancing upward, lodged in the leshy part
of the shoulder, where it still remains.

"rHE Apostle" said the Elder "was

replied Mrs. Partington, looking over her
spectacles at the Elder, "there's where he
was wrong. What did he want to try so
many kinds of doctrine for when Pinker-
toms Wahoo and Calisaya Bitters would
have kept him perfectly regular" The

him in that light before, and the old lady

To the Creditors and Stockholders of
the Central Ohio IL RailrOad Company.

The Trustees who purchased the proper
ty aud franchises of the Central Ohio Rail-
road Company on the 2Sth of March last,
under the decree of the U. s. Circuit Court
at Cincinnati, on behalf of the parties to the
agreement for the adjustment and capitali-
zation OF the debts and stock of the Com
pany, have determined to extend the time al
| lowed to creditors and stockholders to sub
scribe the agreement, until the confirmation
of the sale. The agreement provides that
all interest warrants on the 4th Mortgage
and Income Bonds, and all accrued interest
on judgments, notes and accounts, shall be
relinquished, and the principal of these
several classes esofindebtedness, OF and the stock,
to be converted into stock in the new organ
ization, as follows:
FOURTH MORTGAGE BONDS.
Common stock at par, or preferred stock
at eighty cents on the dollar.
.r INCOME BONDS. ID
Common stock at eighty, or preferred
stock atsixty cents on the dollar.
FLOATING DEBT.
Common stock at sixty cents on the dol
lar.
ORIGINAL STOCK.
Common stock at forty cents ON the dol
lar.
The total amount of stock and indebted
ness of the new company will be only about
$5.000,000, on which basis it is confidently
believed it will soon become regular divi-
dend-paying company.
The opportunity, therefore, afforded the
remaining few, who from want of informa-
tion of the agreement, or from apprehen-
sions of its ultimate success, have not sub
scrbed il, to avail themselves of the bene-
fits secured by it, is necessarily limited to
the confirmation of the sale. The alterna-
tive presented to them is, the reduction of
unproductive securities to a paying basis,
or the abandonment and loss of them alto
gether. Those who wish to escape such
loss may address William Wing, Esq, Sec
retary Of the Company, at GAINESVILLE, Ohio,
or the undersigned, at Columbus, Ohio, in
closing at the same time their securities.

COLUMBUS, February 18th, 1865.
To achom this may Concern:
Peter Martin, of Cincinnati, has placed
his PATENT IMPROVED HoT AIR FURNACES
in our High School and District School No.
5. The Furnaces in District No. have
been in use two years; those in the High
School during this winter. So far they
have given entire satisfaction. For eff
cheney in warming, quality of heat, econo-
my Of fuel, and promptness of action, they
deserve special commendation. l cheer
fully recommend Mr.. Martins Furnaces to
any who may desire an excellent mode of
heating. E. 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, greater heating surface; produces
a larger volume of heat with given amount
of fuel; the condition of the air in respect
to temperature, moisture and purity, is su-
perior; the admission of cold air, the sup
ply Of 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 a pleasant temperature, as well as to pro-
tect. the wrought-iron air-fues from
the effects Of the fire, 1t 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
fiues from being overheated, and thus secure
the durability Of the furnace, and keep the
warm air in healthful condition. It 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 edifice without satisfactory re-
suits, and because, after 9 careful examina-
tion of large number OF furnaces and
other modes of warming school houses and
other public edifces,. not only in Western,
but also in Eastern cities, Mr., Martins was
believed to be decidedly the best.
