Manager Johnston and his new Company
opened a season on Saturday night by the
performance of the Carpenter OF Rouen
and Bob Nettles. Both plays, were well
presented, especially the former. Thefin-
itiation of Antoine Bellard (Mr. George
HSltchinson) in the second act into the Con-
.frererie, was a striking and impressive scene.
AS Marteau, the Carpenter, Mr.. Johnston
was atihome, and rendered the part inn
pressively and with animation. Miss Gro
yer as Madelon, Mr.. j. B. Turner as De
Saubigne, Mr.. w. Marble as Nykin, Mr.. G..
II. Tyler as Grander, Mr.. Mortimer as the
Magistrate, Mrs. Tyler as Madame Grand
er, and others, gave to the characters they
severally represented, very handsome rem
ditions. Generally, their. enunciation was
clear and distinct, though sometimes, strong
passionate utterances needed little OF that
moderation which preserves self possession
and strength in the progress of the most
violent storm of words and gesticulations.
The Rag Picker of Paris and the farce of
Betsy Baker will be played tonight, with
an intervening dance by Miss .Lotta How
land. In the former play, Mr.. Johnston
will personate Father Jean, the Rag Picker,
and in the latter, Miss Grover Will assume
the character Of Betsy Baker. The Compa-
ny afforded evidence on Saturday night
that the principals in these pieces will be
ably sustained. .. .2ti

WASHINGTON Nov. 25.-Owing to the
meagreness of the statement in the dispatch
from Mississippi published yesterday, pur-
porting to give the substance OF Presi-
dent Johnson's dispatch to Gov. Humph-

copy OF the dispatch as follows: '

The troops will be withdrawn from Mis-
sissippi when, In the opinion of the Gov
ernment, peace and order and the civil au-
thority has been restored and can be main
tained without them. Every step will
be taken while they are there to enforce
stri,.t discipline and subordination to the
civil authority. There can be no other or
greater assurance given than has hereto
fore been, on the part OF the President
or Government. There Is no concession
required on the part of the people ol
Mississippi or the Legislature, other
than a loyal compliance with the
Laws and Constitution of the Unit
ed States and the adoption of meas
ures giving protection to freedmen, or
freemen, in life and property, without re!
all their Constitutional relations in the Fed
eral Union. The people of Mississippi may
feel well assured that there is no disposition
arbitrarily on the part of the Government
to dictate what action should be had, but,
on the contrary to simply and kindly ad-
wise policy that is believed will result In
restoring all the relations which should ex-
ist between the States comprising the Fed
eral Union. 1t is hoped that they will ap-
preciate aud feel the suggestions herein
made tor their benefit, and offered in thai
spirit which should peryade the bosom o

New ORLEANS, Nov. A.-The Times
Brownsville letter of the 18th corroborates
the statement of the Imperialsts firing on q
Federal boat going down the river. The
crew ran ashore and took to flight. The
Imperial fire was harmless. The Captain of
the boat narrowly escaped, musket ball
passing through his hat. 1t is understood
Gen. Weitzel demanded explanation of the
affair. 1t Is also understood quite spicy
correspondence is going on between Welt
zel and Mejia relating to firing from the
American side on the Imperial gun-boat
Elartona, and evident sympathy shown for
the Liberals, the nature whereof has not
transpired. ..ra u..
Mejia's order prohibiting intercourse
with Brownsville can't last long, if the
Liberals again surround the city, as they
will be compelled to draw supplies from
Brownsville as heretofore. 1t is supposed
the order was issued to prevent the egress
of spies into Matamoras.
