EIIsLrn's AraENEuM.-we were highly

ELLsLER's ATHENEUM.-We were highly
pleased last night with the representation
of Tobin's beautiful comedy of "The
Honeymoon" as played by the talented
dramatic company from Pixies Opera
House, Cincinnati, now playing at this es-
tablishment. Had we space to permit it,
we should be pleased to accord to each in
diyidual member Of the company an ex-
tended notice, as their merit deserves. The
organization as whole is one of the best
we have ever witnessed in this city, and we
heartily commend it to citizens as worthy
of their support. Among the prominent
members of the company are the following
talented artists: Messrs. LangdOn, Sheri-
dan, flanagan, Hale, Garrison, Murphy,
Bcechcy, Drake, &C., Mesdames Langdon,
Singleton, Phillips, Andrews, Benedict,
Mailing, &c, forming an array of talent
seldom witnessed in one and the same COM
pany.
The bill selected for this evening is one of
unusual attraction, consisting of Sheridan's
favorite comedy of 1.-THE Rivals" and the
laughable comedietta of "The Rough Da-
mond," in which the full strength of the
company will appear.

WASHINGTON, May 23.-The Court met at
1890 this morning. Mr.. Aiken said that as
the Government found it incOnvenient to
close its testimony at this time, to show that
a conspiracy did exist, but not with special
reference to the prisoners at the bar, he
would tomorrow be ready to 90 on with
the Defense as he was not disposed to waste
the valuable time of the Court.
Col. Burnett, the Judge Advocate, re-
marked that four or five witnesses were yet
to be examined with reference to the ac-
cused. Some of them were in Baltimore
and some in this city, but the latter had not
been able to cross the line of the military
review to reach this place.
The testimony taken yesterday was read.
Mr.. Ewing made request, which was
granted, to have his former statement
amended so that it might appear that he had
asked that all the testimony against the ac-
cused be introduced before the commence
ment of the examination of the witnesses
for the defense, the counsel for the defense,
however, having no objection, that testi-
mony as to a general conspiracy might be
hereafter introduced by the Government.
Judge Advocate General Holt briefly
stated the difficulty of procuring the at
tendance of witnesses at this time and after
brief consultation the Court adjourned
till Thursday.

OPERA HoUsE.-The Opera House Com
pany of the present lessces and managers,
Messrs. Kent & Weaver, seems destined to
increase in popularity. The plays recently
selected have opened wide field in which
to test the dramatic talent of the corps, and
it has passed the ordeal with credit alike to
the managers and to individual members.
The audience last night was large for the
season, and the general satisfaction and de-
light were evinced by unmistakable signs.
In the play OF "Camilles Josephine Ty-
son enacted the coquette almost to perfec-
tion. Mr.. Kent as Armand Duval appeared
as usual to be master of his part. The en-
tire piece was rendered with great skill and
fine effect, and the interest of the audience
was unabated till the final denouement.
Tonight the great sensational play of
East Lynne, dramatized from Mrs. Woods
romantic story of that name, will be pro-
duced--Josephine Tyson personating Isabel,
afterward Madame Vine. Her capacity for
a successful and powerful rendition of this
character was made manifest on a former
occasion. An amusing farce will follow in
the wake of East Lynne. i

Suggestion 10 ihe See 'etary of


INDIANAPOLIS, May 23.-GC ernor Nor
ton has suggested to the Secl AIRY of War
the proprtty of issuing an OF n directing
that all field, staff and line o. ;ers now in

their commands, who have b. 4 promoted
and commissioned to higher AIDES in re-
spective regiments and compal es, but who
have not been mustered into sa grades by
reason of commands being bel, the mini
mum strength, be so mustered as of the
date of their muster out. 1t is claimed
that the officers have assumed all the re-
sponsibilties and discharged the duties con-
nected with the positions to hich they
have been commissioned for leritorious
service. and that while their ! lster-in as
proposed would not increase tn, pay, or in
any manner affect the Gov, nment, it
would be regarded by them valued
compliment, a mark of appre ltion and
recognition of their faithful serN ;es in saw
ing and restoring the country The CO.
operation of Governors of er States
has been invited to secure the ssuance of
the order mentioned.

CIRcLEvILLE, Feb. 10th,

CIRCLEVILLE, Feb. 10Th, 1860.
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, compara-
lively, greater heating surface; produces
larger volume of heat with given amount
of fuel; the condition of the air in respect
to temperature, moisture and purity, is SUI
perior; the admission of cold air, the sup
ply ofwarni 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 pleasant temperature, as well as to pro-
tect the wrought-iron air-hues from
the effects of the fire, it 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
hues from being overheated, and thus secure
the durability of the furnace, and keep the
warm air In healthful condition. 1t Is
deemed proper to State in this connection,
that our Board of Education was induced
to order Mr.. Martins Furnace, because two
G.. L
our school edifice without satisfactory re-
suits, and because, after careful examina-
tion of q large number of furnaces and
other modes of warming school houses and
other public editices, not only in Western,
but also In Eastern cities, Mr.. Martins was
believed to be decidedly the best.

New YORK, May 23.-The Herald's Mo-
bile correspondent says: The rebel fleet
in the Tombigbee river, consisting of twelve
vessels, was surrendered to Commodore
Simpson, Fleet Captain Of the West Gulf
Squadron, on the 9th lust. Two commo-
dores and $50 other officers of the rebel ma
Wy surrendered with their vessels and were
paroled.
Colonel George Deas, of General Beaure-
CARDS staff, left in charge of his headquar-
ters at Selma, has arrived at Mobile, having
been captured and paroled. He is going
North. He expresses himself as thorough
ly disgusted with the rebel service, and
says he has learned from the sad experience
of the past four years the goodness as well
as greatness of the old Union.
A large number of the citizens of Dallas
county assembled at Selma on the 10th inst
and passed resolution requesting the
Governor of Alabama to call the Legisla-
ture together, with view to the restora-
tion of the State to her former position in
the Union. Judge Byrn, an influential cit
izen, made short address, in which he said
the war had decided two questions-seces-
sion and slavery, and both adverse to the
South. He counseled Cancellation and mod
Grafton, and said it greatly depended on
the generosity and magnanimity of the
victors whether conciliation and harmony
would be permanent and substantial
