Since the storming of Grafton, the
siege of Msrtinsburg, the RAID on the
"coons" and canalmen at Sir johns Run,
and that brilliant coup detdt during the
niger, hard cider and sulphur water war
at the White Sulphur Springs, our brave
little Mathews Light Guards have been
on the scent for glory, and are deter
mined to allow no opportunity TO pass
them by wherein they can seek the Duo
BILE reputation IN the muskcts mouth.
They have inhaled the pleasant door o,
exploded gunpowder as 1t came from the
muzzle of breech-lo4ding shcotlng-lrons,
and liking it, are determined TO win glory
and renown on the Held OF battle, even
though II be of their own making. with
this end in view, movement was put
ON foot some time since, TO nave
sham battle take place al the
Fair Grounds in this city, which is now
about tc eliminate in a successful issue,
and which will take place on Thanks
giving day, provided the authorities IN
terpose no objection to firing within
the city limits. Arrangements hav-
ing been perfected with the different
railroad companies running into the city
for the transportation OF troops DIT hall
rates, correspondence was some days ago
opened with all the war.scarred veteran
militia for miles and miles around, and
seven companies have already slgnlned
their willingness TO participate, exclusive
of the Light Guards, and it is more than
likely that three or four more Will re-
| port themselves as not AFRAID OF blank
cartridges. The companies tina! have al,

Berkeley Light Infantry, OF Martins

stood, too, that the Guards will
make n wise provision in TIE
management OF the affair, e., al adinls

Lawrence Barrett.

Tonight the eminent tragedisn, Law
renee Barrett, opens q season of three
nights at the Opera house, in Bulwer's
historical play OF "Richeleu." Mr.. Bar
rett has reputation in his profession
second to none, and therefore it is to be
expected that treat in the way OF the
legitimate drama will be given our peo-
Pile, such as they have not seen in this
city tor gears. Having witnessed Mr..
Barrett's Improvisation of the crafty
Cardinal on former occasions, we have no
hesitancy whatever in recommending it
to our people, and as additional evidence
we quote from the Detroit TTiJWne's re.
marks on his appearance in that city
, He was called before the curtain repeat
eddy, Tor it seemed that the people could
not be satisfied by nsnilestlng
their approval in any kind of
moderation. Would that the space
permitted US to point out the
many striking merits OF last evenings
performance, for we can conceive of no
task that could be pleasanter. Those
present last night may consider them
selves fortunate, They were more than
repaid. Mr.. Barrett can feel that in his
old home his talents are appreciated. We
will not close without saying a good
word for the company. 1t is very much
better than the average. We are glad TO
recognize this as An evidence that the
principal actor is not so jealous of his own
eminence that he cannot tolerate capable
assistants.
Owing to the large sale of seats, per-
sons desiring them will have to be about
the box office early this morning, to
secure what is LETT, as it now looks as
though the standing room" card will be
hung out early in the evening.
