groes Mortally Wounded and Two White Men
Hurt-NumerOus Minor Casualties.
RICHMOND, August TO- 1863
THIS evening, while large and enthusiastic Sey-
mour and Blair meeting was being addressed by
number OF influential speakers, riot nearly ensued
Colonel Marmaduke Johnson the conservative nomi-
nee for Congress. spoke first He was followed by
Colonel Robert e. Withers the conservative nominee
Tor Governor, whose remarks were greeted with the
widest applause. When he had concluded calls
were made for Colonel Robert Ould late Confederate
Commissioner Of Exchange, who came forward and
made perhaps one OF the best democratic
addresses on record. He created a wild enthusiasm
and ELECTED cheers at the conclusion OF every SEN
tence.
During the course Of his remarks negro in an ad-
joining shany frequently interrupted him. and he
alluded to a certain Ben Scott (negro delinea-
tor OF the laws Of the United States, brick was
thrown by negro at the speakers stand, on which
was band and number OF people; among them m

the same time cry was raised In the opposite
fight was In progress there, and thither half the
crowd ran. Meantime a fierce demonstration was
made upon the shan from which tne brck was
bricks the smashing OF doors and the pistol Shots
the most fearful excitement prevailed. Just at this
moment q fleeing negro made his appearance, pur-
sued by crowd, and some shots were dis
charged at him, but without taking effect. Some
twenty pistol shots in all were fired.
The hour at which the riot occurred was about eight
o'clock. and darkness hid a great deal from the vew
It was afterward ascertained that preconcerted
movement had been agreed upon by the negroes to
break up the meeting and the ruse Of fight in the
other direction was merely to divert attention from
an attack to be made on the stand.
After the first fight several other rotous demon
STATIONS were made by the negroes for the purpose
apparently OF keeping the crowd together.
One white man was severely wounded by q brick
on the head. A number Of others were struck and
just as conclude this report learn that two negroes
were mOrtally wounded and one slightly; one OF
them now eleven P. NJ being reported in dying
condition The adjacent alleys may reveal tale to-
morrow.
One Of the wounded negroes is at the police sta
ton In bad condition. There was one white man
stabbed severely and one policeman knocked down
by blow from brick. Several minor casualties are
spoken of.
A large number of split rails, intended for an
assault upon the stand, were found where the crowd
OF negroes had been dislodged who provoked the
riot. Hunnicutt, few days since, advocated the
tearing down Of all Seymour and Blair flags In his
paper. The speaking has just concluded.

WALLACK,S THEATRE.

The drop curtain at this house was rung up last
night at the usual hour preliminary to the introiuc
ton to large and intelligent audience of the new
hve act drama-founded on the sensational novel OF
the purely French school of fueieton literature,
"Ouida, or Under Two Flags"-enttled "Fire Fly, or
the Friend OF the Flag" The plot, which was pub
lished in the preceding edition OF the HERALD ad-
heres with tolerabe accuracy in Its congratulations
to the original OF course In dramatizing the story
Mr.. Edmund Falconer prepared it, as a manlua maker
would dress for lady customer, for Lotta there
fore to sum up the play, subordinating characters
in whole and In part, Lolita is Fire Fly and
Fire Fly is Lolita. Or, to speak more directly, the
success OF the DRAMA not alone of the character she
impersonates, depends wholly upon the tremendous
exertions, physical and mental, OF Fire Fly Qotta.
The characters are many of them quite conspicuous,
in Ouida-as, for example, the Pioneers OF Corona,
Harold Cecil an English nobleman laborng under
unmerted disgrace and who seeks to end his ills OF
rank and fortune by enlistng as private in the
Chasseurs, who are battling the Arabs in Algiers
The plot Is, to state 1t briefly, worked out OF love-
stupidity. supposed disgrace, sodery misconduct
and the freaks OF child woman Fire Fly,
who Is presented to us as the daughter
OF the Chasseurs, who brought her up In their
hard school, teaching her more than child-women
should know, and yet preserving amid every danger
her chastity. With this impressive character many
possible things are done and many that should he
kept undone. The tabeaux were all fine and char
acteristlc. The whole story Is confined to the camp
OF the French and the Arabs The end of the second
act was with the exception OF the closing scene and
tableaux OF the nfth the finest in the piece. 1t in
cludes song and dance by Fire Fly, assisted by the
soldiers On the dropping OF the curtain Lolita was
vociferously called for, and on finally making her
appearance she stated, having first picked
up several bouquets that were thrown at
her feet, that She had been quite unwell
and had left sick bed rather than that her audience
should be disappointed closing by requesting that
she would not again be called before the curtain. At
the conclusion OF the play she voluntarily came for
ward and apologzed for anv shortcomings, promis-
ing to do better tonight. The drama needs prun-
ing There is much in 1t that Is not necessary to the
development OF the story and much that is simply
ridiculous. There were three ''irst appearances''
who did their parts with the others, creditably OF
course first night cannot be closely criticised.
little cutting down or the conversation, we have
hinted added to better acquaintance by those in
the cast with their roles, and "Fire Fly" will draw
good houses until the reopening of the regular sea-

A PLEASANT INCIDENTAL pleasant little
incident occurred recently on the Baltimore
aud Ohio railroad, near Cranberry Summit,
which shows the better side of human nature
and deserves to be chronicled. The Wheeling
Iutelligencer thus narrales the facts:
'The fast line east, which left this city on
Monday evening, December Sth met prodi
gious fall OF snow in the mountains, and, after
getting within some three miles of Cranberry
Summit, became completely snow bound and
could get no further. The train lay there
till late next day, and of course the passengers
got exceedingly hungry. The snow covered
the whole country to a depth of two feet
There was no place nearer than Cranberry
where anything could be had; locomOtion was
next to impossible, aud the situation was get
ting quite desperate, when a halt dozen clti
zens from Cranberry made their appearance,
with huge buckets Of coffee, delicious bread
and butter, roast veniSon, and other refresh
ments of the most apetizing kind at any time,
and doubly delicious to the ravenOus waytarerS.
They had heard of the detention, and appre-
ciatiug the needs of the travellers, had waded
three mile through snow nearly to their waists
to relieve them. Tin cups were produced, the
coffee was boiled again on the stoves, and most
refreshing dinner, ample for all on board, was
improvised Men pulled out their pocket-boOks
and offered the party money, but not cent
would they accept"
