NEW YORK, Feb. 10, 1870.
f e oliver Dyer's Double.
It has been said that every man has his 'dou-
blen--that is, that somewhere in the world there
exists as perfect a counterpart of himself IN
form and feature as is consistent with the uni
yersally recognized principle that nature never
does send forth an exact repetition of herself
The friends of Mr.. Oliver Dyer have been very
forward in claiming that nature never did
attempt to repeat herself in bringing forth
counterpart of him. An impecunious impostor,
however, has been making the round of New
York streets during the past week claiming to
be-not the counterpart of Mr.. Dyer, bat that
gentleman himself. To make his claims
good he has been Stimulating number
of interesting diseases, each OF which
was presumed to present distinct and peculiar
claims to charity. He talked "good," boasted
of his spiritual woes and warfares, and without
exactly displaying sores-like a modern Laza-
run ''on the make" and bent upon creating a
sensation-he managed to intimate that they
were ''all there" and that he, the sufferer, was
identical with that magazine-chap of genius
who wrote the Wickedest Man out Of a money
making groggery on Water street, and into a
respectable temperance grocery, where he just
manages to make his rent. Now should this
accomplished outcast q refer to the imposter
and not to the genuine Oliver) travel to Phila-
delphia, there are between him and the maga-
zinist one or two points of difference of which
wish to give the broad-brims warning. The
original Oliver has no wounds nor bruises either
of a physical or spiritual nature and If he
had he would keep them to himself and
not make them means Of extorting aims.
Theatrical Sensations.
There are three theatrical novelties now claim
ing the attention of the public. One OF them Is
the tsHamlet' of Mr.. Fechter, another the
''Hamlet" of Mr.. Fox, and the third Mr.. Dalys
Frou-Frou the long-announced drama OF
''powerful human interest" OF the two Ham
lets" Qeaving out all consideration OF Mr..
Booths), / think prefer that OF Mr.. Fox. 1t is
about all that it processes to be-extremely
humdrsome. When, with the attitude and bear
ing OF the graceful Edwin himself, Mr.. Fox
comes upon the scene with a pocket handker-
chief in one hand and the Police Gazette in the
other, the burlesque is no less laughable because
the stateiness and dignity of Mr.. Booth are
seen to be the material upon which the burlesqut
is built. Mr.. Foxs appearance of late in
roles of legitimate comedy have not been very
successful when compared with his pantomimit
Representations, but in this travestied Hamlet
he has made hit which fills the house ever,
night, and will bear him prosperously on to an
4 other run of fortune. iW sa
grieve to say that by presuming TO appea
in a character which Edwin Booth has mad

The Twenty-Second Of February.

This day is made a legal holiday in this
State and lis observance in the cities of Bal
timore and Annapolis was very general. In
the latter place. the occasion was enhanced
in interest by the presence in the harbor of
one of England's largest ships of war, the
Monarch and the attendance of her officers
upon the celebrations in honor of the day
We reproduce from the Baltimore Sun the
following extract from an Grafton by cX-Gov-
ernor Lowe, delivered year ago in Brook
lyn, N. Y, as interesting in connection with
the memories enkindle,l by the day, and rare
ly surpassed as beautiful and just tribute
to the memory of the Father ot~his Country
Speaking of the men of the revolution and
of Washington's purity of character, CO.
crnor Lowe said:
There was one man who lowered above
them all in moral grandeur and sublimity of
soul. He was as free from guile MS the most
simple hearted child. To the humblcst faith
full citizen he was as gentle as II mother,
whilst the highest, proudest dcmagoguc,
was withered by his hook. He was not an
orator, and yet his few words have been in
tclibiy RTdNtH upOH thC lCitItS VI ull iitll-
kind he was not poet, and yet his life was
the grandcst epic poem ever yet written in the
annals of men he was not Il philosopher,
and yet he unconsciously reduced to practice
all the wisdom of the sagcs he had not been
trained in the science of war, and yet he led
undsciplined armies TO victory he was not
n learned scholar, an erudite jurisconsult,
II willy diplomatist, and yet he conducted a
young republic to its place amongst the pow
crs of the earth, and guided its first tottering
steps along the crowded highway of nations.
Perfectly unseltsh absolutely incapable of
dish nor, just and yet mcrciiul, stern, and
yet full Of tenderness, loving his country and
mankind more than all other created things,
full of intuitiye wisdom and knowledge, gift
ed with the rarest moral and physical cour-
age, and, above all, possessing reverential
and religious spirit-this was he who was
called by the Supreme Ruler from the silent
meditation of the forest, to stand up before
the nations as the providential man of the
New World"

The New Political Element in Maryland.

A meeting in honor of the ratification of the
Fifteenth Amendment. was held in Baltimore
city, on Monday evening last, composed of
white and black citizens, in heterogeneous
mixture. Judge Bond, of course, took a
leading part and addressed the meeting in
quite stirring speech. Among others who
spoke upon the occasion was Archibald
Stirling, Jr., ESQ, who according to the ten
or of his remarks as reported by the SIN,
delivered himself of the following:
Archibald Stirling, Jr., Esq, was next in
trOduced, and also spoke outright in favor of
equality. He wanted to wrest the State from
the rule of the democratic party. There
were two things to be asked in this connec-
ton. Have they votes enough, and will they
organize and poll such votes; and in order
to accomplish the latter it was to be seen to
that no colored man is seduced from the
right path. A colored man should know his
place, and be made to keep his place.
There is considerable smack of the old
time language Of slavery in the last sentence,
as given above which we are afraid is the
result of a bad habit contracted by Mr.. Stir
ling some years since, in speaking of the col
ored population and will not go down well
with "men and brethren" under the new
amendment, now that they are to become
voters. Or is it n fact that the negroes are
to be mule to keep their places, and vote ac-
cording to Republican dictation, whether
they will or not? We are afraid that we
will not see peace" in the ranks of the truly
logal if the above is the programme laid out
by the leaders.

all ofthe year. Mr.. Coale has laid our read

his kindness in furnishing to our columns
these original contributions, written In style
and with freshness and piquuncy ofdescrip-
ton that could only have been acquired by
his many years of experience as writer for
thepress We may mention, in this connec-
ton, in proof of the estimation in which
our correspondent is held among the people
OF his own section, that our circulation has
been extended to both North Carolina and
Virginia, to a considerable extent, on account
of the desire to read his productions appear
ing in our coumns-a club of ten subscri-
bers from one post office having been sent us
recently from the latter State, besides many
single subscriptions from other localities
We can promise our readers rich entertain
mcnt from these productions of former cit
izen and native of our county, and one whose
reputation as a writer is so well established
in Virginia and the neighboring States. We
cannot close this brief notice without again
thanking Mr.. Coale for his kindness in fur
nishing us with rich literary treat, and we
speak "that we do know" when we say that
our readers join in our acknowledgements
