A considerable excitement was caused last eve
ming at the faIr being held at Stewart Hall by
the M. Il. Church South, by the entrance of a
number of soldiers, bearing with them a large
United States flag, which they posted in a con-
spicuous place in the room. They all paid for
their admission, and spent very freely of their
money while in the Hall. Shortly after their
entrance, they requested the removal OF the
portraits of the rebel Generals Lee aad Jack
son, which had been allowed by the managers
to be put up N different parts of the Hall. The
portraits were promptly removed by the mana

manner, taking with them the flag which they
brought.-hle1dndyiG Journal.

THE DEBATE Recommendations the best
efforts of the day yesterday in the debate upon
the loan bill was the forcible speech of Mr.
Darling, of New York, in it's support He took
ground in favor of providing for the payment
OF the compound interest notes; in favor of
keeping legal tenders (non-interest) afioat as
the circulating medium; in favor Of exempting
incomes below two thousand dollars from tax
alton, and in favor Of protection to our manu-.
factures, and of a discrimination in favor of
the poor, by removing taxes from the actual
necessaries OF life. These ideas he elaborated
with much force and ability

INCORRECT

The statement recently made by one Of the
Washington papers, that thirteen thousand
dollars in fractional currency only is issued
daily from the Printing Bureau Of the Treasury
Department, does great injustice to that branch
of the Treasury. The amount Of fractional
currency issued daily from the Printing Bureau
is seldom less than S5O.NOO.

DIsMANTLING THE FORTS.
THE DEFKNCEs OF THE FEDERAL METEOPOLl
ON PEACE FOOTING.


ON PEACE FOOTING.
Major General Augur yesterday issued an
order TO dismantle the following forts of the
defences north of the Potomac: Forts Carroll,
Stanton, Baker, Mahan, Lincoln, rotten, Slo-
cum, Stevens, Reno, and Sumner. He has di-
rected all ordnance and ordnance stores to be
turned in at the Washington Arsenal, and the
engineer property TO be disposed OF under in
structions from the Engineer Department.
This reduces the famed "defences of Wash
ington" to peace footing, and leaves of them
only the powerful water battery on the Mary
land shore, above Fort Foote, which, armed
with the heaviest and most impro we'd artillery,
commands the Potomac river for miles below
and above; the formidable work on the Viz
ginia shore, near Alexandria, known as Bat.
terry Rodgers, mounted with heavy guns Of
long range, also essential to guard the river
approach to the Metropolis; and Fort Whipple,
in Virginia, about midway between Alexan-
dria and this city, used n military prison,
and TO which the Old Capitol prisoners were
removed. The two former will no doubt be
permanently retained and strengthened One
or two works in Virginia are temporarily re-
tanned for storage of ordnance.

THE OPERA.-There was a fair attendance at
Growers last evening to hear NOzalt's sDon
Giovanni" but its rendition was not as salts
factory as on former occasions, although soma
passages were given with great effect We may
instance the charming trio in the first act, by
Johannsen, dc ma Anna Rotter, donna FL
Vira,) and Habelmann, (Dsn Octavio,) which
was enthusiastically applauded. Hermann's
conception OF ''Leporello'' is fair, but he did
not sing and act the part with his usual spirit
Formes acted the part of sDon Giovanni with
easy grace and abandon, but his voice is made
quate 20 sustain such trying role. Lehman
and Dziuba as "Masetto" and "Zerline" were
passable.
This evening the immortal Beethoven's only
Opera, "Fideiio,' will be given with a strong
cast, and Johannsen will undertake the part Of
''LeonOra," role so trying that the great COM
poser kept his Opera from the public for years
because he could not find singer to give the
music OF this character, in accordance with his
conception of IL.
