A correspondent of the Louisville Courier
Journal, writing from Richmond, Ky, says
The life of the Inflated Col. VIM. r. Cook
whose tragic takiog off at the hands of gov
eminent officers on Monday last, in thi
county, has been reported, reads like VERT
able romance. The careers of but few me,
are checkered with so many events. Born i,
Garrard county, Kentucky, fifty years ago, q
bastard, his mother married when he wa.
young, and from his step father he acquired
the name of Perkins. His mother was
Terrill and his father was said to be Thoma.
Kennedy; hence he was related to the sew.

circles He passed through tho Mexican wal
as a private in Capt. Jennings Prices COM
PanY, HumPhrey MaEshara regiment, and
vas brave soldier. In his younger days.
he was q race rider, and once ran the famous
horse Denmark sixteen miles in win
ming four mile race. He has been sus
pected of counterfeiting for at least twenty
five years, and twenty or more years ago he
was knownsto be engaged with the notoriou.
Hawkins and his clan on Round Stone
creek, in Rookcastle county. Hawkins wal
also murderer and much married man;
killed Sheriff Land, of Estill, while under
arrest, and was hung at Irvine about thu
beginning of the late war. Cook was or

base coin. ~
1t is not known when he acquired the
name of Cook. He won't into the war as
sutler, and bis goods having been captured

ant of the Eighth Tennessee cavalry. Ht

great praise for heroism in desperate con.
test, In which he was dangerously wounded.
On account Of that injury be be-
came q pensioner. His soldiers presented
him with $500 sword as q mark
to their esteem. The war closed, he return

rested in Whitley county for counterfeitinR.
Last year he was arrested in this county,
where be lived, on similar charge. He
gave bail, and, on FORGETTING it, decamped;
was retaken six weeks ago, and escaped; was
again taken last week but again escaped, and
on Monday he was shot dead rather than be
taken, or even escape, as he could have done.

THs announcement 10 made from the
treasury department that no new greenbacks
can be furnished to the banks. This is pre-
cisely what we expected. It represents the
policy of Mr.. Sherman, who allows no op.
portunity to pass to thtow discredit upon the
legal tender currency of the country. The
shallow pretense of lack of means will not
avail him in this case, for if he chose he
could supply all demands from the funds in

his hands by Chicago workingmen. expresses
repentance and wants to return and face The
music doled out by the Chicago courts. He
has constructed very specious story, but its
principal fault is that it has been too long
delayed. 1t will not be accepted at this date
as an extenuating circumstance of tho rob-

The Rendition Of this Popular Opera Last

The familiar and captivating opera, "The

last evening, to q large and appreciative au-
dience. Notwithstanding the frequent rep

is an irresistible charm in the numberless me.
lodies IN which the scene abounds that never
fails to draw oulsand captivate the most cul.
tivated AUDIENCE es,z,s-,---~,-~-,.,.s
The audience last night was thoroughly
sympathetic, and the deepest interest was
manifested in the performance from the rise
OF the curtain to the last note in the libretto.
The name of Miss Abbott was entirely elimi-
mated from the cast, the leading role being
acceptably filled by Miss Marie Stone, who
gave pleasing rendition of the numbers in
the rather difficult score.
The role of Mignonette is susceptible OF
some of the finest lyric possibilities, and the
dithcult exactions of the score are far beyond
the range of common place medioority
Without celebrating to any extent on The
performance of Miss Stone, it is only neoes-
sary to state that in the rendition of many Of
the most difficult passages she exceeded all
expectations, and her performance was such
as to call for repeated encores. ~, 80 H..
The histronic exactions of the role were
given with admirable fidelity, and the vi
vaoious acting of the fair s.Marchioness' wal
productive of infinite amusement to the aud.
itors. Miss Maurel, as Germeine, acted and
sang her part in highly pleasing and &C
oeptable manner, and the Robin Moore of Mr.
Karl was thoroughly finished representa-
ton. Mr.. Ellis Ryse, as Gaspard, received
full recognition from the audience, his &C
ton being particularly pleasing. The Other
characters were fairly taken, particularly tina
OF Mr.. A. E. Stoddard, who made himself
popular as the "Marquis.' .....',. 81
The highly successful season will CLOSE
with the representation of "Paul and Vir
glnla" at the matinee, this afternoon, wher
an entertaining performance is anticipated.
