sive Of the amount ground here which
would largely Increase the figures. TIE
increase is accounted for by the fact that
our planters preferred using their home
corn for stock-feed, and purchasing meal

State treasury, all having been removedln view ol
the probability of such q seizure as the present.
An order dated the tenth, appears from Gov.
jenkins, suspendiDg the collection Of all State
taxes up TO the first Of May next The old law
authorized such suspension, and the convention
by resolution, adopted in December last, re.
quested him 20 use his power for that purpose.
The effect OF this suspension will be to forbid any
collection of the tax imposed by the convention
for the payment OF its expenses.
10 the convention to-day resolutions were intro.
duced to draw sixty thousand dollars from the
State treasury for per diem. and
To recommend Congress TO donate public lands
TO the negroes, and thus give them an opportunity
TO demonstrate any capacity for self.government
they may have.
A resolution commendatory of Cen. Hancock
was indefinitely postponed by l23 to Is.
The following was adopted, after loss Of a mo-
ton to postpone, by Ga to "A:
"Resotued, That In the opinion of this conven.
ton il is unwise and nexpedient to directly or in.

Theatrical.

ST. CHARLEs.-The power and intensity of Mr..
Forests action could not find finer display than
last evening in the character of Virginius." His
audience watched him with breathess interest,
from the beginning to the end of the perform
ance, and each word, as il came from his lips had
power, meaning, which carried the listener in.
sensibly back to the days when Rome was in her
glory. There was nothing to mar the symmetry
and beauty of the impersonation. One watching
it was carried on with it to the end, unconscious
of the realities surrounding him, simply knowing
that before him was being enacted one of the
tragic pages in the history of the Seven Killed Ciy
of old. Mr.. Barton Hill, as Iciius, was proud
Roman, tender sutor. Miss Lille, as Virginia,
gave some specimens of very graceful eocution
and pleasing acting. Mr.. Pierce. as Den'dt,te,
and Mr.. Guion as ApptUS Cdudius were also
worthy OF compliment. Tonight Mr.. Forrest ap-
pears as OttetO. We presume that Mr.. Hill and
Miss Lille will play as Iago and Desdemona.
VARIETHs.-AnOtheT excellent audience saw
Mr.. Jefferson last evening in his second imper-
sonation of the good-natured RIP Van Wnlkle.
The reading scene in the first act the mountain
top in the second and the recognition in the
third, are the striking points in the performance
and any one of them is well worth visit to the
Varieties. The play Is TO be repeated this evening
ACADEMY OF MUsIC.-The screaming farce of

LADIES' CONCRRT.-Fo-morrow evening there ia
to be given at the National Theater, under the
direction Of Mile o. Romey. a musical entertain
ment for the benefit of the asylum recently estab-
lished by Father Turgis for the widows and
orphans Of Southern soldiers. Appealing as this
object does directly to the hearts of SO many in
the community, it certainly ought to receive the
attention which it deserves. Tickets for the en-.
tertainment may be purchased at any of the mu-
sic stores.
CRESCENT CRY MUsEUM.-The numerous vsi.
tors entering this favorite place of amusement on
st. Charles street, are a sufficient indication to
strangers Of its whereabouts. There are some
very rare curosities offered for the inspection of
guests, and none come away dissatisfied. The
museum is always open from A. NJ. unt mid
