MARIE SEEBACA.
VOIeric-A Gun of Ten.

Snieric-A Gup OF rem.
Madame seebach played two characters last night,
which presented her IN an entirely new light The
first was that OF Valerie, the blind orphan, creation
OF Scribe, something OF the style OF "King Rene's
Daughter" but stronger In character and handling
OF the plot. The plot Is as follows:-This play
has hitherto been familiar only to the French and
German stages. ITS chief character IS Valerie
blind young lady, who is In love with Count Ernest,
whom she has known as professor OF languages
for several years. He returns from Paris where he
has studied under an eminent oculist with view
OF restoring vaerie's eyesight. touching scene
takes place between Valerie and Ernest on his re-
turn, after q long separation. The VIII by which
Ernest has inherited his rank and fortune contains
a stipulation by which he is to marry widow lady,
Madame de Saldern, Vaerle's friend and hostess, in
order to compromise long pending lawsuit. 1t is
expected that ne will do so. and Valerie is for mo-
ment t0rmented by the pangs OF Jealousy. But she
is soon undeceived when overhearing conversation
between the Count and Madame dc Saldern. The
Count restores the disputed property to the latter
offers his hand to Valerie and cures her blindness.
The title role gave Nine. Seebacn an excellent OPP
portunity to display her rare delicacy her aresa-
ness OF manner and her wonderful power in de-
lineating passion. The scene In which the blind
girl is restored to sight Is thrilling IN its intensity
and IfelIke portraiture, and the curtain fell with q
perfect torrent or applause to greet the dis
tinguished actress In the little comedy, "a Cup OF
Tea, written by Nine. Seebach herself, she gave
proofs OF considerable talent In the line OF comedy
1t Is little thing In one act with only four charac-
ters Nine. Seepach appearing as the baroness, q
perfect specimen OF an tnt,TguGnte. Her coquetry
and polished Wit lighted up the entire play. On
Monday she appears for the third time as Marie
Stuart, role IN which she has surpassed RstOrl.
On Tuesday the theatre will be closed for rehearsal
OF Jane Eyre" and on Wednesday that play Will
be brought out.

WASHINGTON, Oct. l, 1870.
The destruction or property along the Potomac. at
Georgetown and in this city, by the terrible feshet
which began in this locality this morning. Is beyond
calculation. Owing 10 the nature OF the coun-
try and the swollen condition OF the river
and tributary streams 1t mas been mpos-
sibc to ascertain anything definite beyond
Georgetown. At that place the extensive coal
wharves OF the various companies have been swept
OF their freight and all places OF business along
Water street completely submerged. Business was
entirely suspended to-day. the merchants being en-
gagged In removing what goods they could to places
OF safety. The cham bridge which formed such an
important link between Maryland and Virginia
during the late war, has been partly destroyed
IL had been In very bad order for months
past, and was considered unsafe for travel
The Potomac has been covered all day with
the debris OF the property destroyed at Harper's

freshet have been during the day thronged with
spectators. Aqueduct Bridge, which crosses the
