The Arions.

On Wednesday and Thursday evenings last our
citizens were regalcd with two fine musical enter
tainments by the above-named troupe, excelling
in merit any similar exhibition that has visited us
for years. The troupe is composed of the follow
ing 6rst-class and well known artists: Mr.. j. b.
Beardslee, First Tenor Mr.. N Coe Stewart, Sec
ond Tenor; Mr.. r. +. Hennings, First Basso.
and Mr.. VI. l.. Grebc, Second Basso. For original
ity, freshness and pleasing variety, their enter
tainments were all that could be desired, abound
in many gems of the highest order of music, and
were attended By a large and approcative audience
upon each occasion. The high musical attain
ments of the Arions, as well as their gentlemanly
and courteous bearing during their brief sojourn
in our village, won the high esteem of our citiseus,
and thsir visit here will ever be remembered with
pleasure while the hope is entertained, that we

petition Of the visit. The Arons will ever find n

City, are besieging the President with
suggestions and plans for the employ

latter day saints, in default of an oppor
tunity for their employment against
Macmillan and Napoleon.
The Times Washington special says
The President has appointed Thomas
Kelly Smith, of Ohio, a Major Gener,

Christmas was universally observed in
Washington by all classes of people. The
places of business were generally closed,
and religious services held in all the
churches.
The Commercials Washington special
says: Intelligence from the city of Mexi-
co represents a noticeable growth OF ma
tionality in that city and in the country.
The French were daily becoming more
unpopular, and their withdrawal will be
Immediately followed by the downfall OF
Maximilian. The new dynasty is only
maintained by force of bayonets, and
the feelings of instability of the Empe-
ror are increasing. Officials are uneasy,
and dread popular manifestation in
favor of the Republicans. The old fac
tions are gradually abating their differ
ences in manner that bodies no good to
the Imperialsts The sentiment of ma
tionality has been immensely stimulated
by the foreign invasion, and by the ehopes
inspired by the restoration of peace in
the United States

Trial Of General Mercer.

NEW YORK, Dec 26.-The following
are the causes of the arrest of Gen. yMer-
Ger. His trial for murder is now going
on at Savannah; given by the Herald's
Savannah correspondent There exist
ed in Savannah in 1864 battalion OF
soldiers in the rebel army, composed OF
Union prisoners who had enlisted in the
rebel ranks to keep them from starva-
ton. These men took every opportunl-
ty to desert to our liueS, and, on one oc-
casion, seven of them were caught and
tried for desertion and shot. Gen. Mer-
Ger was in command. He has been
placed on trial for murder. Gen. Mer-
Ger put in his parole by General Sher-
man, claiming, the writer states, protec-
ton under the Sherman-Johnson agree
ment. The commission is now adjourn
ing from day to day, awaiting a tele-
graph despatch from Washington as to
whether the trial can go on or not. As
no evidence can be produced for the
prosecution as yet, appliIation for bail
was made in the behalf of the accused,
which was refused by the Court. He is
at present confined in the guard house,
under the custody Of the Provost Mar
shall and is kindly treated

The Commercial says: Commodore
Winslow, formerly commander of the
Kearsarge, has been ordered to the COM
mand of the Gnlf Squadron, in the place
of Rear Admiral Thatcher, who has been
detained. This squadron now consists
of twenty vessels, carrying one hundred
and thirty-eight guns.
The guboat Florida, now at the BreOk-
lyn Navy Yard, will soon be ready for
sea, She is intended for the new West
India Squadron. and Commander Henry
Rolaneo, formerly of the Keystone State,
has been ordered to command.
The Supreme Court room was crowd
cd to-day with an audience interested in
the closing portions of the Strong dl-
vorce case At eleven o'clock the jury
was called, after which Mr.. Graham pro-
ceeded to'sum up for the defense.
The Times gives an extract from let
ter received from a gentlemen holding a
high commercial position in Kingston.
1t says the excitement occasioned by
late distuI Dances is passing off All the
various wild reports that were in circula-
tion about an organized conspiracy, has
vanished in thin air, and existed only
in the minds of certain classes, whose
policy it was to make such statements
The very fact that over five hundred
were hanged or shot, besides an innu-
merable number fllogged, without one of
the military &c, having sustained as
much harm as from the scratch of a pin,
proves to some extent that there could
have been no organization. All the out
RACES that were committed by the rebels
did not extend beyond the first day, and
some of the atrocities committed by
them are quite equalled by the cruelties
of the Provost Marshal, and the principle
that seemed to have governed and regu.
lated the authorities was vengeance and
not mercy, and it believes that many
innocent persons were sacrificed.
