CAPITOL SQUARE is at this time one of the
most cool, cosy and beautiful places in the
city. The trees are dark anil heavy with
foliage, and the luxurious grass Of the plats,
springing foot high, will soon require the
scythe of the mower. Under the present
regulations of the military authorities, all
animals are excluded from the Square, and
all unnecessary gatherings of negroes there
in are also prohibited. Capitol Square is
now what its founders intended it should be-
the lungs of the city, the romping place for
children, and the singing place for BIRDS
The fine music discoursed on the Square
every other afternoon is another and extra
attraction, which calls out the ladies in large
force. On these occasions, blue and grey,
formerly antagonistic colors, mix very rea-
diiy.

.. 1t is absolutely essential that the indus
trial resources Of the country be at once ap-
piled to the cultivation of the growing crops
in order to supply the wants Of the people
during the coming year; else the food ne
cessary to the support of the inhabitants
now barely sufficient to last till harvest
will not be raised, and restitution aud star
walton must result. All must work to live.
Negroes will, therefore, remain at their
homes and plantations to which they belong,
attending to their work as usual, and those
now roaming over the country will at once
return 10 their homes and their work.
Questions of compensation for labor so per-
formed will be determined hereafter by the
proper authorities.
3. All guerillas and paroled prisoners who
break their parole, will be hung at once; and
marauders of every description, and all dis
turbers of the peace, wall be dealt with in
the most summary manner.
4. The civil authorities, as above indica-
ted, are expected, in connection with the
military, to do all in their power for the pre-
servation of order and the re-eStablishment
of industry; and all military commanders
are enjOined to aid them in their endeavors
with such force as may be necessary.
;. Ii is understood that arrangements for
the full re-establishment Of local authorities
in this State will soon be made.

ASusEAESTs.-People can sup full Of ira.
g'c stage horrors nowadays, and 60 to bed
with ears tickled by fancies, quaint and Gu
rious, grotesque and otherwise. The great
event that excited beyond measure the juve-
ME community, was the opening Of Messrs.
Stone K Rosston's circus, under a monster
pavilion, corner Of Main and Sd streets.-
The first performance took place at 2 Pm.
yesterday, and the second at7P.M. We
have neither space nor time now to speak
of the performances in er.enso, but shall
take occasion to do SO tomorrow. The
crowds in attendance gave promise of very
successful "run" of the show, which, though
minus its great and generally accepted chief
attraction, an elephant" is still worth the
price of admission, and more too.
Wray'S troupe of many parts, at Metro
politan Hall, have presented, and are still
sustaining, most successful series of at
fractions. The meldnge of song, wit, senti-
meht and dancing, fancy and heavy, is so
nicely varied, and the interest kept up with
such consummate taste, that an audience
can never tire, for when the yawn comes in
the programme changes.
Sharpley's Minstrels, at the New Theatre,
terminate their engagement, we believe, on
next Wednesday night. Our opinion of the
performances, as expressed yesterday, have
not been changed by subsequent exhibitions.

now in the North, has been heard FROM
He says he has met with very gratifying sue.
cess in the selection Of stock company,
and will be back to Richmond the present
week with the flowers of his newly selected
flock. The public will welcome the change
from etete, worthless negro minstrelsy to
the legitimate drama Of the stage.
The renovation Of the old Varieties The.
atre, that is to mark its transformation into
the New Canterbury, is progressing, and
the old habitueS, when they visit the place,
will hardly recognize it in its new dress
The troupe engaged for the Canterbury will
embrace some Of the first actors and ac-
tresses now performing in New York and
Philadelphia.

NEW COMMISSION HoUsE.-The revival of
business is indicated by the great number of
new firms that are announced from day to
day. In this connection, We notice a new
commission house under the style OF Cosby,
Pugh Co., who have located on Franklin
street, between 18th and 10th streets. All
OF the associates OF the firm are well known
business men and gentlemen of integrity
The firm will receive and sell on commission
manufactured and smoking tobacco and al
kinds of country produce. We recommend

Mr.. KEEFE IN HIS TERRIFIC LEAF, WHICH
HE DIDN'r TAEE.-We have received note
from friend of Mr.. Keefe, who failed in his
performance at the Hall on Thursday, and
Friday night of last week. The writer de-
MES that Keefe ever authorized Mana
ger Wrsy to advertise him to leap forty
feet; asserts that the feat never had been
performed, and never could be. Further
more, the writer says Keefe did not run off
with portion OF the Company's wardrobe;
he was not so hard up as all that. Finally,
he charges that Manager Wray wanted to
"nixie" a little, when he made the an.
nouncement. All we know about the mat
ter is, that Keete failed to perform what the
Manager said he promised, and to that ex
tent the public hold him responsible.

New YORK DRY GooDs.-The advertise
ment of Messrs. Lathrop, LndingtOn & Co.,
dry goods dealers, Broadway, New York,
appears among our New York business cards,
to-day. The house of this firm is one of the
largest in New York, and they offer very
liberal inducements to Southern merchants
to purchase their dry goods of them.
Mr.. John G. Long, formerly associated
with the firm OF Lanier, Brothers & Co.,
Baltimore and Richmond, is now connected
with this important New York house and
his extensive acquaintance throughout the
South constitutes him very acceptable
