The SHERIFrALrY OF RIcHLAND
misunderstanding to an order is
sued by Gen. Sicllles, few days ago,
the election for Sheriff of Richland
District, which was to have been held
on the 18th Instant, is postponed,
and the General announces that, on
the expiration OF the term of the
present incumbent, he will appoint n
successor. We feel confident that we
express the almost unanimous scnti
ment of the people, when we say that
the re-appointment of the present in
cumbent, j. l.. Dent, Esq, would
give perfect satisfaction, rs he has
been connected with the Office for
several terms, and has always dis
charged the arluons dntics with
promptncss and with due considera-
ton for the feelings of those with
whom he has been brought in con-
tact.
THE NEW PKIMA Donna, Miss Nc
C,LLoCH. The New York citizen. Of
the Both ultimo, has the following
notice Of our fairyoung townswoman,
Miss McCulloch, who is So success
fully achieving lyric honors in New
York:
The great musical event of the
week WAS the rendering, on the even
ing Of Tuesday last, of Mozart's mag
niticent opera, "Don Giovanni"
Compared with this, all else musical
seems of but little interest. 1t was
rendered in II style that may be pro-
nonnced nearly faultlcsS, and the
cast was the strongest that has been
brought together in many years.
Never, since the days of D'Angri,
La Grange. Gassier and Formes, has
there been II company able to render
1T SO well as it was done OH Tuesday
evening, by Nine. Parcpa Rosa, Miss
Kellogg, Miss McCulloch, Baragli,
Bellini and Ronconi. OF this con
stellation, the newest and least known
to the public is Miss NlcCulloch,
whose re-appearance as Elvira was
almost debM. She is IL Young
Southern lady, with many admirable
and commendablc traits of character.
During the late war, much of her
fortune was lost or destroyed, and
the choice Of her present profession
was rather one of necessity than of
inclination. She devoted herself di
ligently to the study of music, and
her wonderful proficiency gave early
promise Of more than ordinary sue
cess. Her oIebW was at Wailack's
Theatre, two winters since; but Mt
that time not 4 great deal of notice
was taken of the young prima donna.
Last winter, she again appeared,
during the brief season of italian
opera At the Winter Garden, in I'm
Ballo NIaschera," receiving much
cautious praise from the press.
Critics generally like to avoid ex-
pressing themselves definitely about
q dedmamte until that great Mrs.
Grundy of the critical world-thc
public-has had its little say and cx-
pressed it's sublime opinion, from
which there is no appeal. Miss Nc
Culloch was, therefore, welcomed
with qualified appreciation by the
critics; but her success in the difficult
role she had chosen, and the gene
rally favorable impression mndeupon
all who heard her, made her reap
pearance decided success. Since
that time, she has devoted herself
closely to her studies, only OCCASION
ally singing in public, and then at
concerts, where but little was re-
quircd of her beyond the brief solos
customary on such occasions. Last
