Tho Advcnt Of EdwIn Forrest.

One of the greatest events that has oc-
cured in the history Of Columbus, Is the
coming of the famous American tragedian
Edwin Forrest, to the city, for the purpose
of giving our citizens and visitors specl-
mems Of his great hIstrionic talents. This
10 an event ofwhich we may well be proud; !;
for Mr.. Forrest is our countryman, native
born American, one who began his public
career In our own State who has, by his
genius. and indomitable perseverance, in
his profession acquired not only national,
but a European reputatlopI ! IA D}AAC
Edwin Forrest is not merely q great
actor; he Is more--a man Of genius, ability
I and intellectual power. In honoring him
we honor not the mere artist, buta represen-
tatlYe man of our country, who interprets,
In his life and character, the spirit and ex-
cellence Of free government and Its insti7
I, tutions, h, ,1o,tf,trts sslt'nffrrn.
Every one should see and hear this great
delineator Of the leading characters drawn
by the master minds iuo the dramatic art,
especially, by the immortal Shakespeare
1t is an opportunity that will in all proba-
blllty never occur agaiii;l for had it not
been. that he was induced, on an extra oc-
casion, to.vlslt the spot in Ohio where he
first began his career on the stage, he would
not likely have come West at all. Another
visit from him can hardly be expected. Let
all, therefore, embrace this, the only oppor-
tunity, for this, if from no higher motive,
to have It to say that they have seen and
heard the great American actor, Edwin
Forrest. ,4a.ij s,.i h. y. l...,iG asli.ll4
Mr.. Forests engagement at the Opera
House for five successive nights only, com
mences, as our readers are doubtless aware,
on Monday evening next, when he will APP
pear in the character of Yirginius, the Ro-
man Father. We gave In yesterday morn
ing's paper his impersonations on each of
the five nights. Many persons from the
neighboring towns and cities will probably
avail themselves of this opportunity to wit
ness the impersonations of the great Amer
ican, of whose name and fame they have
heard so much and so often.
The consequence will be that the Opera
House will be crowded to overnowing on
each night of his engagement. Tickets and
reserved seats should, therefore, be imme-
dately secured for all, or any number of
the five nights. This can be done, on APP
pication at the music store of Mr.. John
Seltzer on State street between 10 A. M.
and p. M.

Another StnbbIng Affnir.


Terrible and shocking crimes seem to be
multiplying at fearful rate. A day or
two since,sa man was stabbed or cut on
High street, in this city, in such a manner
that his life is yet great danger. Another
similar case has just come to our knowl-
edge, in which the wounded party is a
young man, Lewis Dewitt son of SiIas
DEWITT, of this city. ~ &. '0l
+ The young man is brakesman on the
Columbus g. indianapolis Central railway.
Night before last, person was on the train
who refused to pay his fare. The conductor
undertook to put him off the train. The
passenger resisted, and the conductor called
on young Dewitt to assist him. He ac-
cordingly came forward for that purpose,
and the man who was struggling with the
conductor, turned upon the young man and
plunged a knife into his lower bowels, in
fiicting a severe, and probably fatal internal
injury. goOd p d ~ sgtaJ1 if 4}io
His father was Immediately telegraphed
for, who, on his arrival at the place where
bis suffering son lay, telegraphed back to
the city fora physician. We heard of the
affair at late hour last night, and were
unable to ascertain further particulars
We learned, however, that the individual
who inflicted the wound, made his escape
from the train, but was afterward arrested.

ment, No. 165 South High street, near the
Opera House, has opened new Restaurant

We call the attention Of our readers to
the card OF Mr.. Lane. found in another
column, and assure them that their wants

RroKn Highland.

We mentioned sometime since that Mr.,
COe, of Highland county, had recently kill
ed hog weighing 1861 lbs. net, and that
A. Jacobs, of the samszcounty, had lately
sold drove of 400 hogs, averaging 300 lbs.
net, for $4,000. If we were in error as to
the residence of Messrs. Coe and Jacobs,
we were led into it by the paper in which
we found the item. The Georgetown Ne,cs
claims that they both live in Brown coun-
ty, and says itdon't believe Highland coun-
ty can producesuch porkers as does Brown.
As to the latter point, we have no opinion
to express, but are happy to give Brown
the credit to which the Ne,us claims she is
entitled.

1t is the brick cottage No. 70 West Gay

the city, and is SO convenient In its arrange

man who wished to select a location, would
naturally choose. Inquiries, as to terms

The Test Oath.

Mr.. Lincoln's Attorney General, Hon.
Edward Bates, of Mo, publishes letter In
the Missouri Republican, in which he gives
his opinion Of the Congressional test oath.
He says:
Test oaths, odious, oppressive and cow
ardly always, are always the resort of des-
perate parties, who (as violent as timidity
can make them seize upon this method to
weaken their adversaries, whom they are
afraid to meet in fair and open cOntrover-
sy. 1t was of frequent occurrence during
the French revolution, and one remarkable
Instance has been preserved for our instruc-
lltion by the great historian of that epoch.
The two legislative councns-the Ancients
and the Five Notwithstanding to their
adyersaries the crime of RoyalisIn, hoped
by an adroit trick 10 get rid Of their pres
ence in the councils, and their, influence
with the people. And so In the forged
name of ,Repu6licanism, then decreed that
all the members of the councils should
on a certain day, take an oath of
hatred to loyalty. The opposition quite as
good Republicans, in fact, as their hypo-
critical oppressors) resisted, as best they
could. Complained and protested--bR they
took tte for they had no notion Of de-
serting their place In the Government, and
thus leaving their unprincipled adversaries,
nnresisted. to work out their wicked viii
in the mis- government Of the country.
And the philosophic historian dismisses the
subject with this brief remark: This for
maiity Of an oath, so frequently employed
by parties, never could be considered as a
guarantee; It has never been anything but
an annoyance of the conquerors, who have
taken delight In forcing the conquered to
neri1re theniselves.,n ~ ~ oi leIi Z e'sh

YESTERDAY was one of those gloomy days
which often occur in mid winter In this
latitude. Itsprlneipal characteristics werea
clouded sky, a foggy atmosphere, driE-
cling mist, mud and water in streets and
alleys and on sidewalks, and, to crown all,
daylight struggling with darkness in an
unequal contest in favor OF the latter. Be-
sides, the rarity of the atmosphere was
about as enervatlng as on the plains OF the
torrid zone. 1t requires no little mental
vigor and some physical stamina to endure
a succession Of such days with anything
like equanimity.

Governor Anderson in IA New Role

GOYcrnOr AnuersOn IN a. NC" AAVAO
The Cincinnati Gazette says that Governor
ANDERSON has arranged for the establish
ment of a daily Union paper at Dayton,
and that the stock has nearly all been sub
scribed. There is now published at Dayton
a daily paper that makes especial claim to
being a Union paper-the journal; but it's
in the interestof General sCHENoK, and his
views are not, we presume, what Governor
ANDERsoN regards as Union views. Other
wise, we cannot see why the Governor
should desire the establishment of another
so-called Union paper at Dayton. 1t issur-

crepancy of opinion among the self-vaunt-

The Democratic Address.

The address of the Democratic members of
Congress TO the country is weak affair. 1t
lacks the vigor and bitterness of Democratic
speeches against the war and against the Gov.
ernment during the Rebellion, and fails to make
up in argument what it lacks in spirit. OF
course, it assails the policy of the Union party;
but that we expected. We have not sue
ceeded in pleasing these gentlemen since
the war first broke out. 1t Is too late to
hope 10 do so now. Dangers threaten the
Constitution" they tell u.s. and so they have
told us periodically for the last five years.
They said so when we commenced to "coerCe'
the Rebels, when we freed the slaves, and when
we put arms into the hands of the blacks, with
which to fight for the country. the citadel of
our liberties is directly assaied," they cry. We
think we heard similar remarks from Mr.. VAL
LANDIGHAM and other Democrats when the writ
of habeas corpus was suspended by President
LINCOLN, and when the Rebel spies at the North
found themselves somewhat arbitrarily arrested.
In short, we have heard all this talk before. II
has lost the charm of novelty. 1t is as stale as
last years almanac.
The Union people understand the Constitu-
tion OF this great country truly better than these
Democratic politicians do. They have quite as
much interest in preserving the ''citadel of our
liberties" as the men have who gave aid and
comfort to the rebellion, and declared the war
Failure" The Union party saved the coun-
try, when the leaders of the Democracy had
plunged it into Rebellion. They are fully COM
petent to attend to its affairs now. The Consti.
tuition is safe in The hands of the men who
saved it from overthrow. The "citadel of
liberty" is guarded by those who love liberty,
and who know how to defend it.
