We do not care to argue the question Of
"inlation" with our friend of the Peters.
burg -Ne,es. we hold that the action of Con.
gress upon this question has done more to
benefit the South than anything else that has
taken place since the close of the war; and
this whether the bill be vetoed or not, The

the currency is hypothenuse whose square

THE OPERA HoUsE.-Sarg"nts Dra-
matte Company was again greeted by II
good house last evening, far the best
of the engagement. The play was Castle
Garden, scene laid in New York, of
course. In the play was portrayed very
vividly, the troubles and trials to which
unprotected emigrantS are subjected on
their arrival in the great American
metropolis. ut the hands Of cmigrant run
ners and sharpers. The plot was quite
exciting; there were an abundance
of sensations, and the audience seemed
well pleased, and SO expressed them
selves by frequent rounds of applause.
Many opportunities were afforded t"
Rena and Maeder to make good hits and.
invariably, they took advantage Of them
All the rest performed their parts well
likewise. This company has steadily
grown in popularity since its arrival
here. Tonight Rena takes a benefit, on
which occasion purely local Drama
called The Poor and Proul e Wheel
ing" will be produced. We expect to
chronicle All overlooking house, both on
account Of the popular beneficiary as well
rs to see how our poor and proud con-
duct themselves.
