After the Battle, Peace--Reopening o
the Theatres---Base Ball and BOATING
NEW ORLEANS, LA,
| September 22nd, 1874.
DEAR CHIEF:
The cruel war is over, Governor
Kellogg having again taken posses
sion of the State House. Thousands
Of rumors are atloat as to whether the
will. or will not resign, but I prefer
not to speculate on them, rather leav-
ing time, that great solver of such
puzzles, to do the business in this
case. One, thing IS certain, he is
again Governor Of Louisiana, and
performing the: functions Of that office.
The streets Of New Orleans are
scarcely more crowded during the
carnival week than they have
beenfor the past seven days, but the
presence of armed men has o. late
given away to those having a more
peaceful. appearance, and the crowd
is intermingled with bevies OF the
fair sex. ..........
On Sunday of last week the Acad
emy Of Music opened its theatrical
season with Sheridan, Mack T.
Days Combination troupe. The
opening performance was greeted by
a full house, apd Messls. Sheridan and
Mack were applanded to the echo.
Since their last appearance before IL
New Orleans audience they have ma
terially improved, and their sketches
now are marked by a smoothness and
finish that, proclaims them trre ar
fists i'll their line. On the 18th ultimo
the Globe Theatre, under the able
Of "kitt," otherwise
known as Mr.. kittredge, late treas
urer of the Academy of Music, will
open with a first class variety COM
bination. This Theatre has under
gone an entire change within, and is
now one of the handsomest places, of
amusement in the United States.
Dsnallsonvillians visiting oar city
md wishing to enjoy pleasant per-
fornlance should not fail to visit the
Globe. The Varieties, under the
Of j. E. OWENS will
open during the coming month, though
no datc-is fixed wet. IL IN under
stood that Mr.. Owens will be the
cigning star during the opening
weeks. The " San Carlos does not
commence it's season until
and previous to that time
will assume Il coat of paint. Alto
,ether the theatrical outlook for the
coming season appears exceedingly
Fright for the public; whether it pans
,ut well for the managers, is another
question entirely, though we presume
N the Resumption of a lasting peace
nd when things get running in their
Id grooves, "4geod houses" viii be
he order of the night.
In spite Of the Enfield and gat.hng
AL practice so prevalent last week,
re observe 30 falling off Of the other
,ational game, Base Ball i'll fact the
opulation ,;,f the city is composed OF
bout eighty seven thousand base
alters, besides others. A visit along
he levee .ary evening Will prove that
his correspondent paid especial at
antion to the arithmetical portion of
is education. In this connection it
-ould be we'll to say that the K. +.
zee Club, one of our crack nines,"
eccntly paid a visit to Texas. 1t is
reported that the Texans
elieve that there's something En
ase ball after all. The Lees have
OF meet with single defeat so far
have heard it said that Donaldson
illc supports club that is well up
l the mysteries of winning; why not
i've the Crescent city the benefit of
your play?
Boating was the rage a short time
go, every body talked Of it; You
ouldn't ''get your oar in" if you
led ever SO hard, but it received an
brupt check from the fact that the
.gatta occurred on the day set apart
n the Revolution. AS there is con-
derable dissatisfaction concerning
