The late Fitz Greene Halleck said "a

of my literary friends in the city of New

it was model of beauty and elegance. l
then determined to solve the mystery, and
l went to the house where she was en-
ployed, and asked her how it was that, in
her humble circumstances in life, she had
acquired a style so beautiful that the most
cultivated minds could not but admire it.

An opera Rouse.

We have advanced at various times II
mn columns the advantages Of building a
first class theater or opera house IN our
r.tv. Such temples of amusement are
nuilt and literally patronised IN other clties
fhrouobout the country. Why can not the
slme be done here? We are told by those
mo are familiar with such matters that
there are two very substantial reasons why
aersons having means and experience IN
grauatic business are not inclined TO IN
,,est money in such enterprises IN TINS
state First. the license tax IN our state
amounts 10 virtual prohibition. The
,}tete license is $500, and each county has
the right TO exact the same, while the mu-
,Icinei authorities demand a city license
IN some cases as high as 81, 400, while the
.,1tire license for a theater in New York
.itv is $500. in New Orleans, 5000, IN
I.ouisyille. $500. Cincinnati, 600, Chica-
90 no. in st. Louis, 500. This enor-
mons taxation on theatrical business has
,een the means of running nearly every
me who has invested money IN any leg1u-
,aato theatrical enterprise The first step
therefore. towards the encouragement on
tirst-class temple of amusement Is mooh-
fication of the license law.

NNENTERESTNC CASE.

A case of much interest was before the
Supreme Court Of the United States Tues
day. The title of the case is Hickman as
Betz and others, in error from the United
States District Court for the Southern
District of Alabama. Hickman sued
defendants for malicious prosecution
and false Imprisonment III 1868. Pend
ing the war Hickman was indicted in a
court sitting under Confederate authority
for treason against the Confederate govern
ment. Upon this charge he was arrested
and confined in prison from January
TO May in that year, and on his
trial and acquittal was discharged. He
was subjected to heavy expense by the
employment of counsel and other causes,
and his suit is to recover that amount and
damages for his imprisonment. Some Of
the defendants had acted as grand jurors
in the Confederate Court, and iii that
character found the Indictment; and other
defendants under the same authority made
the arrest They defended themselves
upon two grounds first, that the court was
a legal one. because established 10y
government &c tdCto, secondly, because the
plaintiff, as they alleged, had partici-
pated in the rebellion. The court
below overruled the first ground, and
ruled upon the second that if the jury
found that the plaintiff was not, during
the entire rebellion, loyal TO the United
States, he could not recover, and the jury
found a verdict for defendants. As to the
Loyalty to the United States of the plaintiff,
there was no conflicting evidence, and
there was evidence from which it
was said in the argument the jury
might have found that, although the
plaintiff was at first disloyal to the
United States, he in good faith returned
tohis loyalty and continued 50 until the
close of the rebellion, and that this was his
condition when he was indicted and ar
rested. The case was argued by Hon.
Reverly johnson for the piainu1 IN error.
1t will lie seen that both questions are Of
great public interest. The first involves
the night of secession, and the legality Of
the governments established under 1t, and
the other, whether a party, originally con-
cerned in rebellion. could not resume his
loyalty. and share the protection OF the
constitution and laws Of the United Statea

THE PROTESTANT CHURCH In
PRUSSIA.

By late foreign papers we find that his
Majesty the King of Prussia has issued
the following decree:
''The great movements which in our
age are making themselves felt in the re-
ligious life, both of nations and indiyidu-
ais, and are pressing forward to deci-
sion, and the tasks they impose on the
Protestant Church of our country, are ap
parent to all, and admonish us to entreat
the support of Almighty God. 1t is,
therefore, my will that day be set apart
in the Protestant churches of my country
for special prayer that God may pour out
His blessing on the present important de-
liberation as to the constitution of our
church, and to implore Him to protect
the Protestant Church from all dangers
that threaten it, and to strengthen the
ties which unite its members to each
other andto the church universal. have
appointed the 10th November, the birth
day of DR. Martin Luther, for this pur-
pose, and hereby commission the minis
ter, and the highest ecclesiastical authori-
ties of Prussia, to make the necessary ar
rangements. WILLIAM.

NORTHWESTERN RAILROAD.
An Important Link.

The ihgant business of this road is IN
fortunate Mr. Burns, the President of it,
feels aggrieved at the proposed lease of the
road to the Nashville and Chattanooga
road. The latter road has leased it for q
term of years, though the lease has not
been confirmed by the Legislature. The
Chattanooga road, as we understand the
matter. desires the Easement of the North
western, not with view of max
ing money out of it SO much
as to build up the interests Of the former
road. The Northwestern, running as it
does through one of the most fertile Sec
tons of the country in the State, and
striking the Mississippi river at Hickman,
makes an important link of railroad COM
munication. That it needs repairs and the
funds to keep it up is an undeniable fact
The freiphts, the cotton and the produce
along its lines is no small matter They
had inst as well come here as TO pass rs by
in the shipment.
The Chattanooga road has The funds and
the administrative ability, as we understand
the case, to run both the roads into one,
keeping each in complete repair and max
ing a continuous line from the Mississippi
to the Gulf The meeting Of the steamers

made at that point with the Illinois Cen
tral RAILROAD, makes the Northwestern one
of the most important railroad links in the
whole country.
Really it makes an unbroken chain from
the Northern lakes to the breezy bays of
the South. Connected with the Chattanooga
road transverse trains from all directions
making immediate connection, will bring
and take to and from our growing city and
country surrounding, a large proportion of
the merchandise and agricultural products
