Alluding to the outrages of Holden's

Alluding to the outrages of Holden's
minion-Kirk-in North Carolina, the
Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel says:
The people in that section of the State
seem to be getting thoroughly aroused,
and we should not be surprised to hear
at any moment that having exhausted
all legal means of redress, they have re-
sorted to force for their mutual protec-
tion. This is certainly desperate state
of affairs, and in the absence of Govern
ment protection, the people must pro-
tect themselves. We are very much mis-
taken as to the character of the descend
ants OF the Mecklenburg declaration if
they submit much longer to these infa-
nous outrages. If neither the courts,
the State Government or tho Govern
ment at Washington will give them pro-
lection, they must do as their fathers
did, strike for themselves. In such q
struggle they will have the warm sym
patly OF all good citizens North and
South.

A New York letter, of Monday, says:

holders OF almost every description of
foreign merchandise are putting up
prices, in some instances to very cx
travagant figure. German and French
goods Of every description nro from 10

tence may answer the purposes of parti-
sanship, but it is not historically true.
The latter part of the sentence, although
containing only al opinion, is worth
more consideration. The probability in
creases every hour that this will be war
of colossal magnitude. It is said that
the United States cannot possibly be
drawn into it, but how can there be my
certainty of that? A misunderstanding
with regard to any American vessel, in.
tercepted on the high seas by bellige-
rent power, might compel US to take an
attitude which would end in war. At
present we have, unquestionably, bet
ter prospect Of peace before us than any
great power on the face of the earth.
We might do trade unequaled in our
history-we might, perhaps, re-instate
our foreign commerce at single stroke
If the policy of Congress hadaonly left
the hands of our ship-builders and mer-
chants free.
If the sympathies of the American peo.
pie nro at present with Prussia, that is
no reason why We should wilfully blind
ourselves to the incontestable facts of
history in reference to this contest.
France, rs we have already shown, had
many temptations to provoke an issue
with Prussia-but when it is assumed
that Prussia is an inoffensive power,
which has been goaded into war by wan
ton insults, without doing anything to
provoke the suspicion of enmity of
France, her true position is entirely fals-
fed. No living man would be so much
amused with this theory as Count Bis
marck, the guiding principle of whose
life seems now to be, .12ectere 81 neoueo

About fifty suits we're entered in tho
United States District Court last week
against parties in Richmond city who
had neglected to stamp their receipts.
Among the number are some most re-
spectacle citizens, embracing every class,
who have occasion to give receipts in the
amount required by law to be stamped.
Sun-strokes are reported in all parts OF
the country. Those who are compelled
to labor in the sun cannot be too care
full in every particular. All excesses
should be avoided, and when it is Mt all
possible. the direct rays of the sun should
be avoided by mechanical contriyances.
Such attention to health will pay.
The commissioner of internal revenue
has prescribed rs method for canceling
stamps, that they must be SO cut and mu-
tilated ms to render the rouse of them i'm
possible. He, therefore, authorizes the
use of any canceling machine which
will do this, and directs collectors
throughout the country to forward sam

which does not cffectually conform to
the method prescribed.

In the drama of Foul Play" there are
few who can excite the emotions of an au-
dience as Miss Fanny Price does in her per-
sonaton of Helen RoUestone.
In some of the scenes she scars high above
the actress and the arts OF the stage, and
becomes the impassoned woman she per
sonates. If Miss Price continues to i'm
prove as she has done the past year, she
will soon hold the very highest rank in her
profession. Mr.. Pope supports her admira-
bly, and correctly. Benefit OF Miss Price
this evening. and "Foul Play" matinee to-
morrow at twelve o'clock.
Eyceum Hall
Tomorrow evening that celebrated violin
list and pianist, Senorita Josefina ,Filomeno,
will give her second grand concert. She will
be sustained by very talented artists, whose
names are mentioned in the amusement
column.
FiIomeno's Con cert.
There was not very large audience at
Lyceum Hall last night to hear Filomena,
but the few who were present enjoyed rare
musical treat. The young South American
senorita is most wonderful performer, and
would, under active and judicious manage
ment, create a furore in this country. 1t Is
difficult to decide which most to admire, her
performance on the violin or on the piano.
She appears to be able to make either in
strumeDt do everything but talk, and it
sometimes almost comes to that. Another
concert will be given on Saturday night,
when we hope to see better attendance.
