The elegant Varieties Theatre was regu-
larly opened last night by this famous band
OF minstrels. Although the Wagner troupe
has just given US a weeks enter ainment ia
this line Of amusement, there seems to be
no lack OF currency or patrons for first
class exhibition Of this kind, and a full
house greeted the new comers. The troupe
is well organized and composed Of talented
performers. IN tho first part of the pro-
gramfne. Mr.. Frank Dumont sang the beau
tlful song Of his own composition entitled
THE Flower Of Kildare" with fine effect.
and was ehcored. Mr.. Thomas L. Dixon,
who has remarkably fine voice, sang the
ballad, I'VE sat by the river" The Witt
eisms and comic ditties Of Lew Benedict
and George II. Edwards took immensely.
Following this, Frank Kent gave the "Sara.
toga Belle" act, Fox and Ward did double
song and dance acts, and the whole CON-
pany appeared in bualesque opera, and in
individual specialtiss. making an excellent
bill and pleasing and refined entertain
melt. The season is for two weeks only.

In case any delay occurred the doors were
forced open. There was no killing, nc
shooting. no Ill treatment of those who
chose to submit. Five Spaniards who fool.
ishly fred upon the Cubans were shot, as
well as tive negroes of the town who were
caught making off with goods. These were
the only casualties.
At A. NJ on the morning of the twenty
seventh, after the Cubans had taken from
the government and other stores an i'm
mense supply Of provisions, clothing, medi-
cines, together with some few arms (all in
the place) and respectable quantity of
ammunition, the retreat was sounded. Men
fell into their places in the ranks, the pack
mules and horses were driven ahead, and
the whole maneuvre was executed with
the precision Of a military parade.
Our informant, who saw and conyersed
with many Of the Cubans. assures us that
all were we'll clothed, the officers we'll
mounted. and that the whole force was
armed with Remington OF Spencer rifles.
IL has been rumOred in Nuevitas sihce

place was in unison with the Cubans. 1t

the north, tioated toward the interior.
there was or not any connivance
on the part Of the governor, will probably

shortly appear before cOurtmartial.

Coprs ltemss

Yesterday was essentially Field day In
the First District Court. The arguments Of
the counsel for the defense in the Sheen
hausen case were eloquent and ingenious,
but failed to damage the testimony for the
prosecution. The Attorney General made
one of his most eloquent efforts, reviewing
the whole testimony and reciting the law,
and the jury brought Shoenhausens career
to an end.
Immediately after the jury retired Colonel
Field said he was ready to proceed with the
trial of the Burgesses, and they were
brought to the bar. 1t was then twenty
minutes of three O'Clock, and Mr. Whitaker
suggested a continuance until to-day. Col
onel Field insisted on commencing the case,
and the court sustained him. Mr. Whitaker
made several motions for q delay, which
were all overruled without argument. The
court room was packed, and everything that
sounded against the two accused was re-
csived with approval by the crowd. Mr..
Whitaker referred to this and was checked
by the court. He challenged the array,
twelve jurors being ont on the Shoenhausen
case. overrulsd. He asked for time for
the medical experts to report. Overru!ed.
He Moved for a change Of venue. Denied.
The ease vas then opened and two jurors
accepted, when tho Shoenhausen Jury re-
ported the second time and che court ad-
journe6.

Quick Passage.

The three-masted schooner John +.
kranz, named for the eldest son of the vet
eran ice president, and in part owned by
that worthy citizen. has just made one Of
the quickest passages on record; having
reached thi, port on the eleventh day out
from New York. This passage is hard to
beat. And, as usual. Captain Pitcher re.
ceived the horns. judging from the humber
OF times he was captured by his friends and
carried TO Cassidy's yesterday.
This fine schooner, as soon as unloaded,
will take cargo OF black walnut and cot
ton for Boston. and endeavor to reach that
port before OF with the frs. snow of the
season.

From erusal Of a private letter from
Judge r. =. Register, which we have been
pernitte 1 to see, We have learned some ad
ditional particulars in relation to the kill.
ing Of che two Lewises 7-s
The parish court should have been opened
on Monday, the sixth instant. Coroner Il.
Deshayer requested his deputy to open it,
and was informed his life had been threat
ened il he should do 80. The judge then
gave written order to open and adjourn
court till the next day. On this the deputy
made oath, in writing, that his life would
be in danger if he should do 80. The judge
then directed the sheriff to take advantage
Of the absence Of Nash and the HadnOt',
and perform that duty. This he did. At
this time the police jury was in session.
McDaniels and others having some claims
they wished to get through, Joshua Kemp
and Nash promised to protect the jury if
they would act on them. There were then
present c. H. Willett, Thomas johnson, Lo
rengo Smith and John b. Mccoy. Judge
Register demonstrated against their accept
ing the protection of Nash, as they would
by that action place themselves in his
power. They were proceeding when John
H. Lewis and John N. Lewis came in,
armed with guns, and commenced using
abusive language to Mccoy. He, in conse-
quence Of the abuse he had received from
them after the previous meeting, had
brought gun with him this time. This
they took away from him. The difficulty at
this time was prevented by Joshua Kemp
and others. It wss after this that Nash
amused himself by making target of the
court room inkstand.
The jury adjourned. and Kemp, still pro.
tecting Mccoy, went with him and Jones to
Shelby's. They we're followed by the
Lewises, who again abused and threatened
Mccoy, and we're again prevented from
harming him by Kemp. They then left, and
subsequent Developments showed that they
ambushed themselves at the crossroads
where Mccoy would have to pass. Kemp
and Mccoy reached this spot, Jones having
left them previously, and were about to
take drink from q bottle, when John N.

Mccoy. The latter was too quick for him,
and fired with fatal and instant effect. John
H. Lewis then rose, and received the con-
tents of McCoy's other barrel, falling dead
ut the gate Of Darro bridge.
From this account it seems the killing of
these two Lewises by Mccoy was in SELF
defense. A warrant was got out by Alfred
Lewis against Mccoy, Jones and Kemp,
and posse, composed of Nash and other
Of Colfax, started to arrest
them. Nothing had been done up to last
accounts. .
The effect of the taking off Of these des-
pefadoes has been most salu,ary. Peace
eeigns ip the parish. The iaw1ess feudez-

Many Of the gang who have kept up the.
disorder have manifested an intention to
become good citizens and respect the laws.
The court was opened and transacted its !
business without any interruption.

SPAIN.



MADRID, October l9-The British dis
patch boat from the harbOr of Cartagena,
arrived at Alicante last evening with news
that the insurgent irOnclad frigate Numan-
cia had run into her consOrt, the Fernando
el CatOlicO, and sunk her. More than half
of the crew of the latter vessel was drowned.
The catastrophe is attributed to the inexDe-
rience Of the officers.
Another version of the affair is current
here. 1t is reported that the Numancia
fired into and sunk the Fernando ell Cato
lcO, because she parted company with and
refused to obey the signals of the former.
Minister of Marine In Command.
The Minister of Marine has resumed tho
command in person of the government
squadron at Gibraltar, which sailed yester-
day for Cartagena.
The Insurgent Squa dron.
The insurgent squadron from Cartagena
was sighted off Alicante Saturday night.
As q part of the troops have been with
drawn from the town, there are fears 1t
will be unable to resist in case acquisitions
are made by the insurgents.
Will Retire.
General Marionez will probably soon re-
tire from the command of the army of the
North Oh account of bad health.
Prospects Of Another Engagement.
Ihe lntranslgentes squadron from Carta-
gena arrived off the harbor of Yalepcla On
yesterday, followed and closely watched by
several British, French and Italian men Of
war Contreras, commanding the SQUAD
ron, sent boat ashore, with demand for
money and provisions. He declares he
wishes to avoid bomba rment, and appeals
to cantOnal independence in Valencia, to-
see that his demand is conceded.
The authorizes of the city, however,
promptly refused to comply, and are active
ly preparing for defense. Troops are going
forward from the capital to reinforce tho
garrison.
The insurgents threaten to seize or sink
the Spanish gunbOat LepantO, which is now
lying in the harbor of Valencia. They have
already captured three Spanish merchant
men at the entrance Of the harbOr.
The British admiral demands that ninety
six hours notice be gwen before the bonn
bardment begins, and has warned Contre--
ras that if shot is fired upon the LepantoD
before the expiration of that time the Eng
lish, French and italian vessels will open
fire on bis squadron. 1t is thought the
rebels will make no attempt to land, but
will proceed to some port on the French
coast after collecting all the money they
can terrify the Spanish towns into deliver
ing up.

Last Wednesday night, during tho pro-

report of pistol and cry Of agony from

was ascertained that Mr.. Andrew Cooper, .

which, the hammer striking the edge Of the
gallery, was discharged, and the ball enter

THE ACADEMY OF MUSIC.
Uncle Toms e,ahin.

The Academy last evening vas crowded
60 its fullest capacity, when was represented
upon the stage for the first time in New Or
leans. the great drama Of Uncle Toms
Cabin, OF Life Among the Iowly" For
more than twenty years this piece has held
the stage, and has been played in most of
the principal theatres throug gheut the Union,
and in England. At the present day it's pro
duction has no political significance The
blight OF the institution of slavery has hap
ply passed away, and che incidents upen
which the novel and drama are based, are
only pictures Of the past. There were
Legrees and Iow Lockers. with curses and
whips. even in Louisiana; but there were
also 81. Glars, kind and good even to
bOndmen. II Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe
exaggerated certain phases of Southern
character, and made them seem more re-
pulsiEe than they were. she also carica-
tured and made ridiculous type of per-
sons supposed to exist at the North. Leq,ee
is as real as G,,mption Cute, and in a sense
the mirror 10 held up to nature exhibiting
the brutalities Of the one and the meanness
OF the other. 1t is creditable alike to the
management Of the Academy TO put upon
the stage one of the best acting dramas
ever produced, and to a discriminating pub
lie for appreciating its merits, as will surely
be the case. judging from the applause its
first representation received last night. As
a matter Of record we publish the cast of
characters:
