The Savannah Theatre.— Last evening, an
entirely new bill was presented at the theatre,
In which the company appeared in a style of
entertainments different from anything they
have hitherto produced. The domestic
drama entitled, “All that glitters is not Gold,’’
has, from the day it was first placed upon
the stage ever been deserved!) popular. The
tone and sentiment of the piece arc good, and
as they serve to set forth dramatically the
great truth, which is the boast of our Repub
liean land, that the working-man may elevate
himself io a position which shall be equal
with that of the mau of the most nristocfatic
pretences, the play always engages the
earnest sympathies of its auditors.
On this, their third night, the new dramatic
company weffe fully up io the high standard
of excellence promised in their first perform

We are greatly indebted to our friend, Mr.

Head, for Northern reports of March 11th.
\V« make extracts regarding the most im
portant news.
[From tho Philadelphia Inquirer of March 11]
Friday, March 10, .1865. —The great de
cline in gold has been the leading feature in
financial circles to day. There is a difference
of nearly 7 per cent, between the closing
prices of yesterday and to day. Yesterday
afternoon, at four o’clock, gold was quoted
at 1951-4. This morning it opened at 191,
and declined steadily until noon, when con
siderable effort was made to rally it, but
without much success, for at tour o’clock it
closed dull, with a downward tendency at
186 1-2.
New York, March 10. 1865.
The Money Market is active and firm at
G(g7 per cent, for call loans, chiefly at the
latter rate. Foreign Exchange is dull at Him,
gold. American Gold is heavy and decided
ly lower, opening at 191, declining to 190 0-8,
advancing to 191, declining to 186 1-4. Gov
ernment stocks are quiet and without decid
ed change. Stocks arc lower. - Michigan
Southern has declined 1-2; Canton, :u4;
Cleveland and Toledo, 1 ; Reading, 1 1-2;
Hudson. 1 1-4; New York Central, 1 1-2;
Eric, 15-6; and Illinois Central, 2 percent!
New York, March 10.—By the arrival of
the steamer Dudley Buck, which left New
bern on Monday ’last, at 4 P. M., we learn
that up to Saturday night, February 4tb,
waruijshowers had been falling for a week,
which bad made the roads bad. It cleared
up on Saturday night, and when the Buck
It'll, there was a promise of good weather.
The soil being handy, the roads will bo hard
and good in a lew days. The enomv had
felled great numbers of trees along the roads
and paths leading from Newborn to Kinston,
which were being removed by the force ad
vancing from Newbem, which force was
within a short distance of Kinston when the
Dudley Buck left.
Rt tugees who arrived iu Newbem all stated
that Fayetteville was iu our possession last
week, and that General Sherman was within
forty miles of Raleigh. That the Rebel sol
diers were deserting in companiens and, in
some cases, by regiments ; that most of them
were retiring to their homes ; that the people
pay but little heed to the proclamation of
Governor Vance, calling them to arms, and
that in most places in North Carolina tho
people go forth to meet Sherman with words
of welcome, and are not particular about
placing their stock and suppplies out of his
reach.
Many of the inhabitants of West North
C u'-liiia were on their way to meet their rel
a ves and friends in Sherman s army, from
th Western States- Their wagons were
well stored with provisions, native wines,and
suc h other comforts as Sherman’s Union visi
tors will relish.
From ilie toue of the ltaleigli papura, wi-'ii
the exception oi the Confederate, it would
seem as though no one could have the hardi
hood u> entertain a hope tor the success of
the Confederacy. The Progress says that
Sherman will soon be in possession of Ral
eigh, and will go wherever fie desires.—
Quite a panic.prevails nrnoug the negroes in
North Carolina since the announcement that
they are to be conscripted to tight iu the
Rebe l army.
The Rebels are now gathering them up for
the purpose. A strong combination exists
among the conservative slaveholders to resist,
the measure, some of whom are arming
their slaves in order that they may defy the
Rebel authorities'and thus retain their ser
vants, who exhibit a readiness to tight* lor
their masters aud their homes rather thau to
light for the Rebel Confederacy. Great num
bers of. negroes are flocking to Sherman's
army with the assistance of their masters,
with the promise that they will return and
work tor wages as soon as it will be safe for
them to do so. This gives the negto ques
tion an interesting aspect
W.vsiiia«To.v, March 10. The Star haa the
following:—On Monday last, thirteen trans
ports, with troops front Portress Monroe,
accompanied with the gun boats Commodore
Read Acting Volunteer Lieutenai.t- om
mauder K. - Hooker, and Yankee, Acting
Master Cook, proceeded up the Rappahan
! nock on n raid, the principal object being the
capture of a largo quantity ot tobacco known
to have been sent from Richmond to Fred
erioksburg. to be smuggled into our lines.
On the way up the expedition proceeded
very cautiously, and the gunboats scoured
• the viver well lor torpedoes, and, it is believ
ed, cleared it of all such missiles as far as
Fredericksburg. A schooner, bound up,
with a cargo of whiskey and salt, was tlrst
captured by the Read. ‘ The crew were se
cured as prisoners, and after the cargo had
been removed the schooner was blown up.—
On arriving at Fielerickalmrgh, it was ibur.d
to be garrisoned by rebels, who, however,
Ottered no resistance., atul the troops were
landed, as well as a detachment of Bailors,
the latter being under the command of Cap
tain Hooker, and the town was taken pos
session of.
The Rebels retreating, our forces captured
the tobacco, which had lately arrived, to the
amount of ninety five tons. It was manufac
tured, ami it is estimated to bo worth three
hundred and eighty thousand dollais. The
depot of the Fredericksburg and Richmond
Railroad was destroyed, as well as consider
able rolling stock. The railroad bridge on
the rear of the city was also destroyed and a
force went out some distance on the railroad
destroying culverts, bridges, Ac. The coun
try about Ftedericksburg was scoured pretty
thoroughly, and dicing the raid over four
hundred prisoners were Liken.
Our men several times eaiue in contact with
the enemy s pickets, atul some shots were ex
changed, but no one was hurt on our side,
ihe gunboats returned to their original sta
tions on \\ edneadav uight. On the way down
the river botli hauks were found to be well
lined with the enemy s pickets, Moseby's tnen
being on the northern bank, but not a shot
was tired by them, although at one place
where a number of them Were seen, several
sludlswere thrown into their midst. Atone
point a number of deserters ca.ne off and
gave themselves up. At another eight men
who hail deserted from the Twenty-fourth
Virginia Cavalry, came oft - . They were very
anxious to get to their homes io Accomac
countjq Virginia.
We shall give further extracts to morrow.
