us. $50 barrels OF molasses, for violation OF the

THE TEEATRE.-The play of the Seven Sisters
was repeated last night before good audience,
whose taste for the drama led them to prefer the
theatre to the circus. Notwithstanding the in
ducements offered by the latter the number Of
theatre-goers has been steadily increasing, and
each representation is greeted by larger audiences.
The Seven Sisters is play OF considerable merit,
and what is lacking in the dramatic is amply
atoned for in the terpscherian part Of the enter
tainment. The prima donna, Miss Alice Vane, as
sumes q number Of characters end In each her
acting is good, Sheis well sustained by the troupe,
who perform their parts with accuracy. The
scenic effect is now much better than it was on
the first night, while the acting has improved pro-
portionally. The Messrs. Templeton have endeav-
ored to furnish the citizens of Charleston with
good dramatic entertainments, and, though labor
ing under great difficulties, they have succeeded
in their undertaking. The operate and dramatic
parts Of these entertainments are well enacted,
but the ballet dancing deserves more praise, as it
ia the best that we have seen for years.

TIE MOUNT PLEASANT DISTURBANCE. SEN
rxscH OF AARON LoaAN.-Our readers will remem-
ber disturbance that occurred at Mount Pleasant
during the progress Of registration, and which was
occasioned blythe action Of Aaron Logan, colored
Registrar de carsed tho arrest OF LIZ. John S.
Frazer upon allegations made by ignorant negroes,
and conveyed him to Charleston, where the tables
were turned and the captor made captive. Logan
was sent to Castle Pinckney on charge OF mis-
conduct IN Office and false imprisonment, and sub
seouently tried before Military Commission in
this city. After careful hearing of the evidence
in the case, Logan was found guilty OF misconduct
m Office and false imprisonment for having used
his authority as 3 Registrar, and compelled an
armed body Of negroes to arrest MIR John s
Frazer and detain him prisoner. Logan was
ssutsnced to be confined at hard labor at such
place IS the proper authority may direct for the
pariod dg two years. This sentence was referred
to the Commanding General for his approval, and
vas mitigated to six months, and Fort Macon, N
C.. designated as the place of confinement.
JOHN RosNsoss GREAT sHow.-The mammoth
pssilion was again filed with dense crowd last
nieht. many being compelled to leave from want
Of standing room. There are few entertainments
that have visited our city that have been more
,onnlar than this great circus. The numerous
attra ,tions it presents, both in its collection o.
wild animals and in the troupe OF accomplished
actors. are sufficient to cause large attendance
but We doubt If the proprietors Of the circus anvil
insted the rush for tickets that has nightly taken
nlace. It is pleasing evidence that Charleston.
ans are not dead broke, and there is yet some
small change left None who have attended this
,bnw regret the expense, for they are convinced
that they have got more than their moneys worth
and in many instances have repeated their visit
The receipts Of this circus have been larger, aDc
the returns To the Government assessor more thai
SoubIe those Of other and similar entertainments
tt ia without doubt the best establishment OF lts
kind in tie country, as it has been IN existence lo'
more than forty years, and is, like good wine I'M
proved by age.
The band, under the leadership OF MIR. L. u
Canh.m is one CT the great features OF thls CIRCUS
as the performers are all skilled artists, and tnen
combination Of sweet sounds an agreeable accom-
paniment to the acting. Yesterday afternoon the
children Of the City Orphan House and the coior
tended the circus by invitation and testified thel
appreciation by frequent plaudits
