THE BLACK CRooK.-The performances
at the Theatre are sorry imitation OF
those at Niblo's Garden, New York.
There are few passable scenes, and one
or two pretty girls. But the affair, as u
whole, is not worth seeing. Indeed, it is
much worse than nothing. How striking
the contrast between the fashionable au-
diences, the delightful music, the charm
ing performances, and the elevating inhu-
ences attendant upon beautiful opera,
and the noisy crowd, the rolIicking songs,
the dancing, and the other performances
of this company? We call for the dis
missal of the Black Crook, and the pro-
duction of the opera.

"Dwell in the Land, and Verify Thou
ShnIt be Fed.''

About two months ago we saw several gen.
tlemen from the northeastern part OF this
State in this city, en- route for Texas, whittier
they were going to spy out the fatness of the
land. We endeavored to show the impolicy
of such q step, and exhausted the entire stock
of argument against emigration. In vain For
every reason We advanced in favor of staying,
our friends could show two why they ought to
20. They went; all of them, however, re.
turned, and yesterday we had the pleasure of
seeing one of them again on his way home
from the distant West, entirely, radically
cured Of the Texas fever. They had many
inducements to remain, purchase land and set
tie, Eut weighing the odds of moving, trans
plandng out trees, going into hotter and in
salubrious climate, and voluntarily depri7lng
themselves of all the comforts and privileges
Of civilized society, schools, churches, friends,
neighbors, kinsfolk, etc., etc., against the ad-
vantages of good land and brisk business; /;
weighing also negro supremacy aud green
backs here, against gold aad large white
majority therc-the balance still largely pro-
ponderatcd in favor of old South Carolina.
The accounts they give Of the country are
not very encouraging. The cotton crop In
Alabama is tile best they saw anywhere on
their route. As they went further West they
found increased traces Of the ravages of the
army and boil worm. In some sections these
plagues have deslroycdnlmost the entire crop,
in Others about half crop will be made.
Ins Texas they report considerable activity
iusbusiness notwithstanding the great heat,
and the maarious fevers Of different types
everywhere prevalent. Grccnbacks are scarce
ly known in that unreconstructed State, cX-
cept to pay taxes with. All moneycd trans
actions are in hard cash-gold or silver.
Politically, also, according to our prospect
ing" friends, the people arc much more hope
full than ourselves.
We recommend tho experience of these
temporary emigrarts 10 others afflicted with
Texas or Florida fever. We advise them TO
ponder we'll before they move.-Charleston

THAD. STEVENS ON THE PRESIDENTS Views.
-Thad. Stevens recently wrote the following
c;lcr, with the view, doubtless, of influencing
lie la;e elections in Pennsylvania:
Dear Sir In anawer to your inquiry,
/" What effect the success of the Presidents
views will have on the national securities" }" |
am of opinion that its effects would be
injurious.
The President contends that the body Of
men acting as Congress has no constitutional
powers, and can do no valid acts in the ab-
Senqc Of tho excluded States. The Congress
ses that authorized the war debt and laid the
internal duties to pay it, were composed Of
precisely the same number Of representatives,
from the same States as the present. If it
should bo decided tbat those Congresses had
no constitutional existence, the fye.twenties,
ten-forties, seven.th;rticc and the legalienaer
gfecnDacks will have been issued without au-
thority, and will be worthless.
Whether they would ever be redeemed
would depend on what the President would
consider : constitutional Congress, after the
admission Of the rebel representatives, when
the condition Of the debts Of both bellgcrcnts
would be considered. YourJ, truly,
THADDEUS STEVENS.

A QUEER WEDnlNG.-The Hartford Post
relates q curious incident ncal that city. Mrs.
Eliza Barnsley, q young war widow, had been
courtcd and won by young lawyer from
Providence, who spent his vacation in the
noighborhood. The day for the marriage was
tixcl and all the arrangements made, but at
the appointed hour the bridegroom came not.
He had gone from the town in the carly train.
The bride was disconsoate, the friends out
ragged. Worse than all, the dinner was get
tins spoiled by waiting. Seeing this state of
affairs, one of the invited guests, middle
aged farmer, who had been secret admirer
OF Mrs. Barnsloy, whom she had encouraged
before the formers advent, stepped up, offered
to take the groom's place, and was accepted.
They were married, ate their dinner and
promise to make happy couple.
