Miscellaneous.

The James Raymond, which has been
tied up above Wolf river for a long time,
has started for St Louis. She is to go
into the st. Louis and Alton trade.
The Bostona, which has been keeping
the Raymond company for long time,
has also gone up the river. She is to be
turned into wharfboat..
At Louisville the river is falling slowly
with seven feet ten inches water in the
canal, BY the mark, The weather con
tinues warm, with the thermometer at Is.
On the falls, there we're scant six feet
water in the pass, and falling slowly.
The steamboat water over the rocks was
about five feet
Steamboating at ST. Louis, with the ex-
eeption Of the Missouri river trade, is
very dull, and most of the packet lines
are restricting their business, and the
boats fast dropping out or tying up.
Another line of boats, says the Louis
vile Courier, plying between St Louis
and the Cumberland and Tennessee
rivers, known as the Caflrey line, con-
sisting of thirteen boats, has been par
TALLY suspended, and the boats offered
for sale. They also were imbued with
the speculative mania but having
transportation only one way, with
very poor return trips, and no big
Government contracts to iatten on,
had to succumb to the regular and legiti-
mate course of trade, and are also played
out. The Atlantic and Mississippi
Steamship Company have suddenly,
despite their great loss of boats, ascer-
tanned that they have more boats in com
mission than they have trade to keep
them busy, and the great Ruth has been
added to the laid-up feet at St. Louis.

THEATRE There was n very large at
tendance at the theatre last night to wit
ness the splendid representation of East
Lynne 1t was truly frst-class per-
Torrance. The company all doing won
ders. Miss Thompson, as " Isabel,
could not be surpassed. In the scene
where she questions her children and the
motherly feelings overcome all others
when she throws of her disguise and dis
covers herself, she was grand beyond de-
scription. 1t was an outburst of nature
soch as is rarely seen only in truth.
We can conceive of nothing mere truly
sublime. Who can withstand that moth
erly love which rises above all other
feeling, ready to perform any sacrifice
for her oifsprings2 The audience were
perfectly electrified by the mastery con-
ception of Miss Charlotte Thompson's
Isabel" The piece gave so much sat
isfaction that it win be repeated again
this evening. Il is well cast, and brings
out the entire strength Of the company.
All who desire 10 see mastery acting,
from the leading character down, should
be sure to be present at the theatre to-
night and witness the second represen-
iaiion Of East Lynne.

A Fighting Generals Opinion of Benjamin
r. Butler.

General James B. Steadman, one of
the fighting Generals of the war-a man
whose courage and patriotism no man
ever dared to question, made speech in
Toledo, his home, on Monday night, in
which he drew this life.like picture of
General Butler, imported by the Radicals
from Massachusetts to stump Ohio. As
Butler addressed the Radicals at Car
thage, the sketch which Gen. Steadman
gives of the man, his courage and his
principles, will be well worth reading.
General Steadman says:
81 know that distinguished Massachu-
setts General, Benjamin F. Bntler,
laughter says he is going to march
from Massachusetts to Washington with
his militia Well, now, he didn't hurt
anybody during the war, and | have no
idea that he will hurt anybody now.
Laughter.l If he marches and there is
any fighting going on, will warrant you
he will march in the rear of his column.
/ have searched that gentleman S mill
tary record in vain to find a place where
he led column. He never did lead il
anywhere Perhaps he thinks as he
didn't make any reputation IN the last
war, it is necessary for him to get up
another one, in order to redeem himself.
Laughter No doubt General Butler
had good many fierce people to deal
with during the war; no doubt he was
provoked a good deal during his admin
istraton in New Orleans, and goaded to
say n great many things that do not look
well on paper. | do not like to comment
upon anything done by Union General
but i am bound to say now that
throughout the war, that General was
remarkable only for his severity on
women and children. Cries o.
"Spoons." He was fierce to deienseless
people. That required no courage
People who were within our lines, and
whose protectors were gone-he was very
harsh tc them. 1t is true, their protect
ors had no right to go, and they deserved
perhaps, all they got, but no brave man
would take an advantage of that kline
against women and children and Gen
Butler is the only man that ever did it, .
