GERMAN OPERA.-The largest au-
dience that we have ever seen in the Rich
mond Theatre, assembled last night to wit
ness the performance of 4" Der Freischiitz. -
The sssemblage, too, was as brilliant and
fashionable as it was large. Our leading
citizens, beautiful bellies, and chivalric
bcaur filed to repletion orchestra and dress
circle. "Der Freischiitz" has long since
been adjudged by the critics Of the musical
world as Weber's masterpiece. The music
is extremely intricate, and none but first
class artists can attempt its rendition. I'M
like Troyatore, Martha and Stradella, it re-
quires so thorough musical training to
apprehend and appreciate its beauties, that
in a great degree it is removed from the
popular affections. " Der Freischiitz,"
apart from its grand music, is largely depen-
dant for successful performance on scenic
effect. OF this great auxiliary in producing
it we were deprived last night. 1t cannot
be expected that an itinerant opera COM
pany can put it on stage for single night
with due regard for spectacular effects. Tho
Formes-Habelmann combination ha /, there
fore, only to avail themselves of such facil-
tiles as our theatre supplied. These were
meagre, indeed, so meagre as to make the
grand incarnation scene failure. When
this scene is put on in all its grandeur, it is
one of infinite spectacular magnifcence,
and also of thrilling horror.
Madam Rosetti made her third appear
ance as Agatha. While she acted very
finely, the part does not give full scope to
her great dramatic powers. 1t is in char
acters like Leouora, Magaruitte, or Lucretia
Borgia, that she can illustrate her dramatic

night was delightful, and her voice came
out in all its power, pathos and melody.
Mile Dziuba again captivated her audi
ence with her charming acting and singing
This lady may be pronounced one of Rich
mond's greatest favoritas.
Mr.. Weinlich had his first ample OPP
portunity to- show his great voice,
and histrionic talents. His Casper was
equal to any we have ever seeh. In it he
discovers that genius which has made
him so distinguished an artist. The great
characteristic Of Weinlich, in both singing
and acting, is intensity, earnest, fervid,
most expressive passion.
Hablemann, as Max, sang with exquisite
melody. His voice was in better condition
than it has been on any night since Faust.
The more we see of this gentleman, the
more are we impressed that his voice is
better now than it has ever been it has
more power, more strength, and is more
velycty. In addition, too, he now sings
more in the Italian than German school.
William Forines and Carl Beaunard had
but little to do, being cast in subordinate
parts.
The chorus last night was very fine, the
German society of this city aiding the com.
pany. 1t received cordial encore.
Tonight the opera Of "The Merry
Wives of Windsor" will be presented for
the first time in this city. Carl Formes
appears as Falstaff. His reputation in it,
as a piece of great acting, is known to
every capital in the Old World.

MONEY, NOT PRINCIPLE.-Hon. Mr..
Evans, Of Petersburg, yesterday introduced
into the House, resolution asking that
body to invite colored ministers, as we'll as
white ones, to open its meetings with
prayer. The resolution was laid upon the
table the Democrats opposing it and the
Republicans favoring it. We were sur
prised and mortified to find this partisan
spirit so early exhibiting itself. We would
like for these Democratic gentlemen to ex-
plain the difference between sitting in the
same body with colored man or listening
to one of them pray ; and for fear we may
not be accommodated, we propose giving
our views of the difference.
To listen to colored mans prayers
would not increase the amount Of money
they receive, but to sit in council with one
brings in six dollars day. Thus the an.
swer is given, if there is any money in {
disagreeable arrangement it is all right i
there's no money it all wrong.

LATE BrT SENSIBLE CoNcLUsIoN.--
jackson Il. Taylor, editor Of the Peopte's
Dcfmder, Newman, Ca, comes to the
following late, but sensible conclusion.
Mr.. T. resided in this city during the war,
and was, we believe, ain office-holder under
the Confederate government. On his re-
turn from his Northern tour, Mr.. Taylor
spent several days among his old friends in
this city, and was cordially received by
them all. In late issue Of his paper he
says:
recent visit to the Northern States has al
forded us a more correct idea of the resources OF
our brethren over the line than we ever had be-

their wealth, their facilities for manufacturing

GOOD ARRANGEMENT.-T officers
of the Fire Department are engaged in di-
vidng the city into fire districts. When
this is perfected, only such portion Of the
department as is needed will be called out
in case Of an alarm, thus saving vast deal
of wear and tear Of machinery and exer-
ton on the part of men and horses. In
case Of trivial fire, the nearest apparatus
will be called out +; if the services of others
are needed, they will be called for by pre-
concerted signals. This is good arrange
ment.
A new fire alarm box will soon be
erected in front of Chief Ainslie's office,
on Tenth street, between Main and Cary,
with an alarm gong inside the Office, at
tached, which will better enable the chief
to direct the operations Of the department
in case of fire.
