Miss ChnrIotte Thompson.

This lady will enter an engagement
at the Varieties Theatre next Monday eve
ming, appearing then in the play Of ''Jane
Eyre" The Memphis appeal says Of her at
the Grand Opera House;
Miss Charlotte Thompson was simply
marvellous last night in the character OF
Mrs. Fan Dyke. the principal one IN the play
of zone Wife, The piece is truly and en-
tirely modern, and represents life as we
know it. 1t is one of much g.ssipy inter
est not without deep feeling and lots OF I'M
holy passion. Jealousy is the ruling pas
sion strong in the plot, and Mrs. Van DyEe
ia the victim of it, There is much to con-
denim in tho character, for passion of SO
base a nature as jealousy ought not TO ind
Judgment in so fair and womanly bosom
as that OF Mrs. Fa,o Dyke. 1t is. however,
to be expected, perhaps, that being mortal
she should be subject to some infrmity.
The grand features of that strong ~
drawn character were beautifully portrayed
by Miss Charlotte Thompson, most loVea-
bic woman. Nothing could be finer than
her conduct in all the trying circumstances
OF that irritating correspondence between
VuJ, DyEe himself and Mrs Hoffman. Al
though the piece is much overdrawn, and
is, in fact, exaggerated from nature, yet the
superior style OF Miss Thompson compelled
sympathy and intensified interest to the
close. There is not much necessity for crit
icising the play itself, except in SO far as
criticism may serve to display the astonlsh'
ing merit Of great artistic, which Miss
Thompson undoubtedly is; The passion OF
simply unadulterated jealousy never was
better shown forth by one so lovely, but yet
it was over-mastered by love, the divine at
tribute. 1t was beautiful and interesting
philosophical as well as aesthetic study to
watch how those two agents of light and
darkness struggled for the mastery. in the
bosom of the fair actress. She carried the
whole audience along with her; aud it
would be injustice to human nature to say
that one person left that house last night
who was not the devoted personal friend OF
Miss Thompson. She not merely dazzles by
her genius, but she captivates by her beauty
and Sweetness, and truth to nature. There
can be no hesitation in pronOuncing her q
great actress-great in her style and in her
sphere She has not that degree of objec
| tionable m0niineSS which enables some deep
toned ladies to do Hamlet, but she IS {
true woman, and lacks no quality TO TAKE
any WOman's part on the stage.

FIGURING.

The Democrats are figuring on
Renublican losses in the coming
Maine election, September 9th. The
majority for Grant in 1868 was 90
4O3: and that for Perham, for Gov:
ernor in 1871, was 10,631. The
arithmetician of the New York
World figures out from these data
that 'sif the Republicans should car
nv Maine by a majority of less than
1900, and they should lose in the
same ratio throughout the country,
Mr.. Greeley's election is secure
Here are two big Ds-''much virtue
in an J.' Both the Worlds hypo-
theses are as improbable as the
coming, after date, of Plantamour's
comet. Maine will go Republican
by over 1900; and if it does not
the rest of the country will take care
of itself and of Grant too. Never
theless. the elections of the Sd inst.
in yermerf, and of the 9th inst, in
Maine, will serve as important indi-
cations of the drift of public opinion
and feeling on the Presidential ques-
zion.

SOLDIERS CONVENTION.

The greatest gathering of this
wear will be the Soldiers and Sailors
Convention at Pittsburgh, on the
18th of September. Great prepara-
tions are being made in all the East
ern and Western cities, organizing
the soldiers into regiments and
brigades to attend the Convention.
The citizens of Pittsburgh are max
ing every preparation possible to
entertain the vast assemblage, and
when the hotels are filled the citi-
zens will throw open their doors for
the entertainment of the soldiers;
and every soldier who had occasion
to pass through Pittsburgh during
the war, knows both the ability and
willingness of Pittsburghers to en-
tertain them. The railroads will
carry passengers to this meeting at
reduced rates. Quite number OF
the soldiers here contemplate going,

GEN. GRANT AND THE DEATH OF
GEN. RAWllNS.

1t would be impossible to keep up
with the ISLANDERS, new and old, with
which the Presidents enemies have
determined to destroy his good
name. One of the last of these was
invented and used by Gen. Kilpat-
rick in Maine and elsewhere, to the
effect that when Gen. Rawlins
lay on his deathbed he telegraphed
to Gen. Grant, at Saratoga: "Gen-
eral. I am dying; l must see you be-
fore ]. die; come here" Grant, said
Fitzpatrick, refused to go, preferring
rather to attend a ball at Saratoga.
Fitzpatrick dwelt upon the theme,
contrasting the dying agonies of
Rawlins with the ingratitude of
Gen. Grant in refusing to hasten to
his bedside. The only grain of
truth in this story is the fact that the
President was in Saratoga during
Rawlins last illness. While there
he received a dispatch from Gen.
Sherman, merely saying 'Rawlins is
worse AT this moment special
train was in waiting, which was to
convey the General to Utica, where
he expected to meet a large con-
course of citizens. There was no
entreating, in Sherman's dispatch
to Grant to hurry back to Washing
ton. He was simply informed,
"Rawlins is worse" Grant instan
tly relinquished the visit to Utica,
and fastened back to Albany, there
took a freight steamboat not carry
ing passengers to New York, saving
twelve hours of time; reached
Washington before Rawlins expired,
and excepted the guardianship ofhis
children, in whom he keeps a con-
slant and affectianate interest,"

A HAPPY HIT.

A western exchange very happily
hits off the varying phases through
which the canvass has already run.
1t affirms that one of the chief mer
its of the coalition was that it, was
going to shove aside the military
candidate for the Presidency, and
bring in a civilian; but after all, they
have got General. The Tribune
said at first it was general enthusi-
asm, but now that it is general tor
por. The World calls it general
stagnation. The Herald says it is
general reaction. The Herald's cor
respondent, who has been over the
State of New York, looking for
Greeleyism, says it is general indif-
ference. Greeley, in Maine, prom
ised a general division of the Offices
among his supporters, without re
gard to their party antecedents, but
it is more than doubtful if that gen.
eral will ever be brought into ac-
tiOn .... #... ..-F

A QUESTION,

The cry of the Democratic party
is "Anything to beat Grant. 1t
was the same during the war.
Did anybody ever hear these same
men "enthuse" under the cry OF
Anything to beat JEFF DavisT' II
the Democratic party had exhibited
as much zeal to put down the rebel
lion and jeff Davis as they now dc
to beat Grant, the war would moi
have lasted one-third of the time II
did, and the party would then have
made record which they would
not to day ask the nation to bury
and forget.

GRANTS ELECTION ESSENTIAL TO
BUSINESS PROSPERITY.

Finding it impossible to ignore
the palpable fact that nearly all the
steady-going men who control the
permanent business enterprise of
the country, and who stand at the
head of the various interests upon
which its solid prosperity is SO
largely based, are unequivocally in
favor of the election of the Repub-
lican Presidential ticket-the Gree
ley organs are trying to create a
false impression concerning it, and
to arouse the prejudice of the work
ing classes of the country, upon the
alleged ground that the interests of
the capitalists and of the working
men are squarely opposed to each
other, and that what tends to bene-
fit the former must necessarily in
sure to the corresponding disadvan-
tage of the latter. This sophism is
altogether too shallow. Fortunately
for the whole people we don't have
any superior or inferior classes in
this country-at least we have not
had any since the Republican party
wiped out of existence the colossal
oligarchy of the peculiar institution,
and removed from the honest brows
of labor the stigma which slavery
had affixed there. Our rich men to-
day were our poor men of yesterday,
and the capitalists of tomorrow is
fully as likely to be drawn from the
factory or forge of TO day as from
any other quarter. Moreover, the
business condition of the country
affects the poor man perhaps even
more directly and vitality than the
rich. If the commercial, financial
and manufacturing classes cannot
afford to intrust the policy of the
government into the hands of reck-
: less and unsafe theorists like Gree
ley, neither can the millions oil
workers who, with their families, ARE
dependent on the continued exist.
ence and progression of these vari
! GUS agencies and activities Of ma
tional growth and power, afford to
do so either. The prosperity or ru
in of the one class is the prosperity
or ruin of the other, and the hum
blest worker in the ranks of toll has
as profound an interest, as vital @
stake, in averting the general finan
, cial convulsion and industrial col
lapse which would follow the elec
tion of Horace Greeley, as the mar
: who counts his money by the mill
b. ion. The Republican party may bt
the rich mans safety-it certainly
: is the poor mans only hope.

a decided reform in keeping out al

will be allowed for sale within the
grounds, and very heavy police
force has been detailed to preserve

THE WRECK OF THE NETS.
The Terrible Disaster in Long Island
Sound-Statement Of Passenger.

The telegraphic dispatches have
announced the terrible disaster ON
Long Island Sound and given dis
connected details. Briefly summar
lied, the fact seems to be that the
Metis, steamer of the Providence
and New York Steamship Company,
on her way from New York to Prov
idence, collided off Point Judith
with a schooner, while the hurricane
blowing at the time prevented all
mutual recognition. The Metis pro-
ceeded on her way, but had not gone
far before the engineer reported that
she was filling fast. She was imme-
diately headed for the shore, six
miles distant, but her fires were ex-
tinguished long before she could
reach it. Soon after, the vessel
parted, the lower portion sinking,
while the upper deck floated. In
few moments that, too, went to
pieces, and broken fragments of the
wreck were all that remained of the
steamer.
A scene of terrible confusion fol
lowed the engineers first report.
According to one gentleman's ac-
count the stronger and most cow
ardly seized upon three or four life
preservers each,upon mattresses and
chairs, and every article that could
be obtained, leaving helpless women
and children to shrek and faint un-
noticed. A rush was made for the
hurricane deck, amid the driving
rain and wind, and when even that
last resort was reached many were
washed overheard by the surf, which
ran enormously high. AS morning
dawned and the people on shore
caught sight of the survivors float
ing here and there on pieces of the
wreck, every assistance was offered,
but as no boat could live in the fear
full sea little was available.
The number of passengers is said
to have been 10l. There were forty
four officers and deck hands.
About half are supposed at present
to be safe. Beside such fearful loss
of life, the loss of the very valuable
cargo of the Mettis seems too insig-
nficant for mention.

Powder Cargo-lnsane Survivors,
List Of Survivors and Dead. al

HAVANA, Aug. 30.-Captain JEFF
ferson Maury, of the steamship BIZ
enville, arrived here this morning
from Nassau and reports the burning
of the Bienville at sea The steam
ship Bienville left New York on the
10th of August for Aspinwall.
When in latitude % degrees II min
utes, longitude IA degrees 15 min
utes, at 3:45 on the morning of the
18th instant, fire was discovered
among the cargo. Steam and water
were Immediately turned on but the
steam pumps after few revolutions
broke down and could not be worked.
Captain Maury then ordered the
matches to be battened down, hoping
thereby to smother the fire, and at
the same time fire extinguishers
were used between decks and the
steam kept on. The fire gained,
however, and at six o'clock Captain
Maury, fearing an explosion from
powder stored in the hull if he re-
mained by the ship any longer, Or
dered six boats launched and pass
engers and crew began to embark.
At 7:3O Captain Maury was forced
to leave the ship, being the last one
on board. One of the boats was
capsized after leaving the ship, and
from seven to ten of the inmates in
Guiding two women were drowned.
After sunrise a fresh breeze sprung
up. The capsized boat was righted
and bailed out and reached Cat Us
land in safety. The other boats ex-
cept one, reached Eleuthera Island,
a distance of $50 miles from the
scene OF the disaster. The missing
boat had not been heard from, but
it is supposed it was picked up by
passing vessel, as an empty boat
was seen adrift near Eleuthera Is
land with life preserver in it.
One ofthe boats in attempting to
land at Eleuthera Island, capsizsd
and nine were drowned, including
Mrs. Brandon and her three child
ren. At 80 p. NJ. the Bienville
exploded and Immediately sunk.
When the fire was first discovered it
was supposed to be in the fore hold
where large quantity of the pow
der cargo was stored, but it proved
to be between decks over the boilers
and among the cargo. The passen
gers and crew lost all their baggage
and saved nothing except the cloth
ing they had on.

Senator Wilson's
Record.
The Charge That He Was a
Know-Nothing.
He Declares 1t False.


A number of Brooklyn Germans,
among whom were B. Fievert, u.
Boedeker, Charles Schiller, H. Lin
demith, NJ. Maier and John Fischer,
about four weeks ago sent letter
to Gen. Henry Wilson, inquiring
concerning his previous connection
with the Know-Nothing party, and
asking him to inform them whether
he was ever member of it. Gen.
Wilson sent a reply, written in Ger
man, of which the following is a
literal translation:
NATIcK, Mass, August 26, lS12.-
Messrs. Bernhard, Ftecert and
others-GENTLEMEN: l am in re-
ceipt of your honored favor in which
you inquire whether the reports that
1 was once a member of the Know
Nothing party are founded in truth,
or are tictions created by political
enemies. Let me say to reassure
you that I hare nerer been a mem
Der of fMeKnow- Nothing party, and
hare necer Uoted aoith 1T, but that L
hare alUays ererted myseJ
to fight against ats detrf-
mental principles from the beginning
of ats existence, both by word and
action, and upon every occasion.
From the subjoined extracts of my
speeches, which have appeared in
several German papers, you may
gather that have always declared
freely and openly the principle that
adopted citizens of our Union ought
to enjoy the same rights as the ma
tives, and that whatever oppression
of any class of citizens exists be-
canse they differ from some other
classes, and principally because they
are foreignborn, is in striking con-
tradicton to the principles of true
religion, the fear of God, and the
spirit of our enlightened age, and
that such warning against our
immigrated citizens is most unjust
inhuman, and impolitic. .es.
These utterances are in perfect
accord with the liberal views which
1 have always entertained during
my long political career. On this
basis rests the whole fabric of oul
powerful Republican party = the
party of progress-whose immova
BILE pillars are freedom, equality and
fraternity. This now is, and will be
my watchword as long as l live and
labor. With greater energy, there
fore, l must denounce such a calum
: nious SANDER, and declare it con
temptible maneuver which, though
without success, has been uset
against me several times, especially
in the years 1855 and 1858, by thu
opponents of the Republican party
AS you, honored gentlemen, are wei
able to distinguish truth from false
hood, you will, 1 hope, Sirs, favol
! me with your kind confidence in thu
, future. In this agreeable expecta
tion, and thanking you most heart
lily for your frank letter, l subscrib'
myself, with all due respect you
