at Darts hall, tomorrow evening, onswhieh
occasion benefit viii be given to Mr.. Wal,
ter BRAY. a very deserving and talented CO.
median. Mrs. Waugh will assist, and by
her excellent acting, add much zest to the
occasion. Another fine actress Miss Davis
has been added to the company since they
were here, few weeks ago. The popnlari-
ty of Mr. Bray, and the improvement made
in the company ought to draw a crowded
house.
The programme will be distributed to-mor-
row. The principal piece will be the Lady
of Lyons-something belonging to the legit-
innate drama, possessing much interest, and
intoxicating a most excellent moral. Mr..
Bray personates the character of Claude
Melnotte most excellently, and Mrs. Waugh
is capital Pauline. We look for a full
house.

Why IS IT2-We cannot understand WHY
1t Is that merchants, dealing in cloths will
persist in sending east for goods when fully

cheaper, can be obtained almost next door.
We refer to Shields wooden mills, of DaTen
port. We have not only seen many samples
from this establishment but have tested

The President today sent in to the
Senate several nominations for small Of
fees and several documents required by
the tenure -of-office bill.
The Radical caucus is to hear the report
of the committee and consider the state

100000, of which senators, representa-

ments have been distributed since the
origin of this committee.
The committee recommends an active
campaign for the ratification Of the con-

ALARMING STATE OF AFFAIRS I'm
ALABAMA.
AR.NED RISING OF THE BLACKS.
ORGANIZATION OF THE WHITES.
Sent to the spot-Arrests, &c.

MONTGOMERY, ALA, December A.
Alarming excesses have recently been
committed by the blacks in Bullock
county. In the neighborhood of Perote
the colored Loyal Leaguers organized and
resisted the processes of civil law. Under
instructions from colored emissaries they
formed code Of laws to govern the negro
population, opened court, officered and
organized, arresting by night all blacks
who opposed their unlawful proceedings,
and carried punishment SO far that their
victims applied to the civil authorities for
protection.
The black "shcviif" and his deputy
were finally arrested, but other insurrec-
tionary leaders organized the negroes and
made armed resistance. Aid from other
leagues was summoned, and the blacks
nocked to Union Springs, threatening a
general rising and determination of the
whites and taking possession of the coun-
try. The black leaders went to planta-
tions and forced laborers to join them for
vengeance, showing pretended orders from
General Swayne giving them the right to
kill all resisting their authority.
During the excitement o negro church
at Perote was burned by unknown parties
(alleged to be the negroes themselves) to
influence the blacks. The whites univer-
sally regret it.
The white citizens have organized for
protection.
General Swayne was appealed to, and
promptly sent o detachment Of troops to
the scene of trouble to restore order.
Fifteen black insurrectionists have been
arrested and lodged in Jail to be tried by
the civil authorities.
At last accounts order was restored and
all was quiet.
