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 ance. II there were any “hitches,” such as Inevitably attend the initiatory perlbitnauces of a newly organized company, the genius of Mr. A- 11, Davenport and the high artislic ability of Messrs.

[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. W. C.
