Editort~-Aecording to your invitation I begiß to give my thoughts to the opera perform ance«, which Master Field is showing up at the Varieties theatre, for a few nights only. I never •] seed an opera before Monday night last, and in 1 course everything about it was most attractable * to my eyes. You may know when I came to k the city some weeks ago, you told me that Mister 1 Field was going to bring Mar Ma-root-suck, or ; Make-a-rat-sick, on to St. Louis about the Ist of , October; and so I laid off, and thought I would J not come over until Max arrived. But then I ’ heard agin that Mix fizzled out, and Mr. Field was in a bad way; and I was thinking that 1 maybe I couldn’t git to the opera at all. How somever, I peeped into your paper one day, aad ! the first thing I seed was that Mr. Field hid begged another ops; a, and that it would begin to show on the night of the With instant. So I told brother Jabe to tend to stock, and watch out for rain so thathe could go to plowin for \ wheat, while I’d go over to Saint Louis and see the opera a bit. I arrived in town on Saturday night, as you know, and put up at Barnum’s a fust rate tavern, by the way, exceptin they make a Seller walk up so high to lay down in his bed. Well Monday night come; Ido suppose if I done it once I done it fifty times—that is, read the big opera bills on thie corners and sides of the I* walls, and by the time night had come, I J knowed all the singers’ names. There was a singer Grab-and-toe, and singer Low-in-eye, who the bills said was prime Bn the Ass-o-lute— a new kind of instrument, I suppose. And then there was singei Ross-in-your-eye, and singer Cut-your-eye, and singer Brat-in-your-eye, and Rock-you- oh! and Pick-you-oh ! and Boss-you oh ! and so forth, and so forth, but I can’t think r-- offialf of ’em. A dollar I thought, was a big price, but i had been layin up for a good while, and felt a little flush, and so I planked right down at the door keeper. In I walked. I had been totheV a - ! rieties when I was at the city before, to see the theatre perform, and in course, the place wasn’t strange to me. I got in pretty late, and most of the men and women had all filled up the boxes. ! I couldn’t see any vacant seats excepting those in the boxes which were fastened up by little pine bars across ’em, and so I just walked around the row of seats as big as any of ’em. But I raus’nt stop to tell of these things any longer. I want to write how the opera per formed*' The first motion I seed in the neighbor- j hood of the stage was a whole lot ol leilers com ing uffriut of the orchestra’s hole, with fiddles I had heard ’em before, so 1 know’d that it wouldn’t be long before something else M come. .. The feller that sits on the high chair com- BHa sawin’ up and down, just as I had seen and the music begun. They played a bile, and up roHed the curtain, and in hat the bills called the chorus—a lot of th feathers and caps, striped linsey coats thing on their legs. They sung very I thought, and I guess all the people thought so too; for all of them commenced nod din’ their heads to one another just as I have seen old fellows at Methodist meetings nod and bow to one another when the preacher give it to the devil and talked of glory. Well, the feller without breeches soon went off the stage, and here come a great big feller, dressed a little better than the chorus men, and be begun to sing also. Heavens! what a voice he had.— It was just like our presidin’ elder’s, and he is the biggest camp*meetin’ preacher in all our parts anyhow. Well, this big opera feller com menced a singing too, and one of the chorus fel lers sung back at him, and nobody to line for ’em either; and then, every now and then, the big opera would come steppin’ up to the gas lights, and hold bis hands over the fiddler in a high chair and sing away without any particular metre, h Hefei* isfetf iratTfor him, but when he got done and turned his big, broad back to the people, they all commenced clappin’ like thunder. Wasn’t it strange?— Where’s the opera? says I to myself. Why don’t he come out and go through the regular theatrical motions and quit singing? They > * kept on singing though, and the people seemed / to take it all easy; and so, thinks I, I’ll not both er myself about it, either. I always liked good singing, such as Hail Columbia tunes, and Away Down on the Sawnee River, and Jerusalem’s my Happy Home, but I’ll be dad if I could sto mach such hop-etep-and jump singing as the big feller done, anyhow ; 1 couldn’t hear a word he sur.g nuther. He just kept sayip’ over and over, ah! oh ! uh ! i-i-, ker-r-r-r-r, and sich like : but all the ladies laughed and looked at each other, and they stuck their goggles out at the feller, and looked right at his legs —which ’ wasn’t much, either, for I’ve got bigger ones myself, and better shaped, too, excepting they are a little knock kneed, and then looked around to the gentlemen sittin’ along with them and smiled, and said, 41 beautiful—delicious!” Well under the circumstances, I had to believe the feller was some myself.^ Well, the curtain went down after a bit, and then it was jerked up again, and here; comes out two women, who, a teller by my side siid was the prirny donny’s. I looked at my programme and saw that they was the ones that was to play on the Ass-o-ltUes, but they had nothing in their hands, and as soon as the music commenced they commenced singing too. The one that sung the most I liked the best; she had such hearty look about her; but then|she played the fool so, caper ing aiound the stage—squaling like a wild mare on the prairies—grabbin at the air with her hands, ketching the other woman, w r ho didn’t seem to have many verses to sing, by the arms and jerkin her about. I laughed fit to kill at her. She had on one of those pessy dresses too, that slipped down over her shoulders, and seemed to feel awful bad about it at times, for when she stood over the gas lights, every once in a while she would put her hands up over her bosom and give her body a wriggle and twist .to get the dress up again, and then findin it wouldn’t come, she would give an awful screech and run away up the stage, just as if she was tearing mad, and then all the people clapped at her lor doing so; and then she’d come back and do the same thing over again. Wasn’t it strange? I kinder liked the woman for her spunk, and my blood fairly biled as I was coming out of the thertre and beard one of the ladies who wasn’t half< ? pret ty as the prima donny, say that “she 100 .ed just like a chambermaid, and had no look of soul or intellect about her at all.” Now, as fur as I could see, she had a big place for a soul, anyhow, and as fur as intellect is concerned she must have been smart, for I saw a good many St. Louis lawyers listening to her, and they couldn’t take their eyes away from her. Well, she sung along, gittin a leetle higher than the big feller did, but not quite so low, until a good many other opera fellers came on the stage. One of ’em I liked mighty well. They call him Singer Benny Ventano. If he only behav ed himself, and just give us one or two good speeches, or i little Shakspeare, and then instead JJv of thronin’ his sword down on the floor, if he had only stuck it through the pesky big feller with his pipestem legs, I’d like him ten times better. But he kept a singing too, and I could’nt understand a single line or verse. He had almighty sweet voice though. It made me think sometime*, of the night when my good old’ mother died—when she asked sister Jane to set down by her bed-side and sing to her, and sister Jane sung so low and sweet, and her voice trembled so, as the tears run down her cheeks, that I thought it might have been an angel sing ing to mother. I like Benny Ventano first rate. It made me feel bad, though to see him stick himself just before'the curtain fell. I wanted to bear him again, but now in the language oi Shakspeare, he has gone “to be born in a coun try from whence no traveller has been diseover- and, in the language of that little ugly feller ■ of the Republican, “over his body the wild waves SB sing an eternal requiem.”' But, Mr. Editor, T H think of writing more about the opera, I will not B vou an r more trouble jist now. Hoping &c., m Illinois. Frost, or no frost, the air of business which pervaded our streets on Friday *nd Saturday last, from Lawrence Street to the steamboat wharves, indicated very plainly that the scramble for dollars had commenced, and that the panic caused by a dr<tad of the saffron-hued giant was at an end. All was bustle and activity—cotton and other articles of commerce came in freely— the steamer Ariel was at our wharves on Fri day, and the Jenny Bealle on Saturday, dispen sing “goods, Wares and merchandise” to smiling consignees—drayman wheeled said goods, wares and merchandise off to various store houses, whence they will soon diverge in divers direc tions and be lost to our view. In short, the tide of Business has set in with a velocity of vieing mm that would do honor to all who may have business to attend to. g|But mind, we don’t say we have had a frost yet; we may not have one before Christmas.— Montgomery (Ala ) Jour. Qth. Land Sales. —There was a large amount of landed property sold among us on the eale-day just past. The rates were not very high. Sa luda raky woods sold at from 7 to 8J dollars per acre—Saluda pine land from 2 to 5 dollars.— Sofcne dark corner land brought nearly 10 dollars per acre. A lot in the town of Hamburg (the Spout spring lotj containing within a small frac tion of twenty acres, went lor $1450. Mr. C. Hartnond was the purchaser. The well known and very valuable situat.on on Saluda, known as “Mt. Willing,” was purchased by Messrs. Ar thur and Louis Youngblood. We observe that Dr. R. G. Mays, of Florida bought a thousand acres or so in the same vicinity—hope it is an indication of some disposition an the Dr.’s part to get back home again.— Edgefield Advertiser , 9. Fins Cotton Picking. —Mr. H. B. Gallman, manager for Col. F. W 4 Pickens, on his lower Saluda plantation, sends us the following state ment ot cotton-picking among his hands on the 26th, ult. We must add, what Mr. G.’s modes ty forbade his keying, that it is very hard to beat for this country. “Twelve bands,” says he, “picked out four thousand and thirty-two pounds, making an av erage of 336 pounds to the hand. The whole number ot hands in ths field on the same day | was 36, and the weight of cotton gathered wa5.7513 pounds. They all began after sun rise and stopped picking at sunset. Cotton dry and day hot.” Had the Col.’s whole force picked on that day in proportion to the above, he would have had near forty bales gathered, at one sweep as it I were.— lb. ould begin ant. So I watch out Prospects of Gold. —Several good prospects of a golden harvest are rising up before the en raptured vision of certain citizens of our district. We have seen specimens from a mine of Mr. Musco Samuel, and also from one worked by Mr. John Lyon and others of our town. The pure stuff shines out palpably enough in both ca ses; and all interested are filled with hope? of brilliant gains. May none be disappointed ! lb. “Our Galls.” —We have a good many big, fat, fine-looking girls in Edgefield, and no unpre judiced person will deny the fact. But we know of one not eight miles Irom our town who “takes the rag off the bush,” for size, so completely, that the rest of our pretty ones must all sing low tor the future. She is only 14 years old, and is 6 feet high nearly and wears No. 13 shoes. We are permitted to make this statement by those who have the best right to grant that permission. Talk no more of woman’s degeneracy while we can raise such Amazons in old Edgefield.— lb. A Confidence Man. A young man, with a modest exterior, who gave his name as Henry Holmes, crossed over trom the city to Algiers about three weeks ago, and took board at the Telegraph House kept by Mrs. Thompson. The reason given by him for deserting the city was that he wished if possible to avoid all contact with the yellow fever; and, moreover, he had become disgusted with the lashionable frivolities and vice which prevailed in New Orleans to such an extent. At the Telegraph House, Holmes passed for a man of great conscience and wealth. He was also remarkable for his religious deportment, and on Sunday never lost an opportunity of mingling with worshippers-pjwid of joining with solemn 1 mein in all sacreuexercises. In fact, Holmes became quite a confidence man, and, as le con fidently informed the lady of the house 'hat he had, in a recent visit to California, become poss essed of exbaißtless wealth, and was then en gaged in negociasing the purchase of a million , «*.-a r\f jb- ■ -*■ —» Tjjv«d, ♦*- «■ 4U « wealthy stranger became whispered abroad, and invitations to dine and supTtegan to pour in up on him from the tlite of our right bank vis-a vis Within a week he was engaged'to be married to the fair r , and had employed a fellow boarder, at a salary of SBOO per year, with a bonus of |4OO acres of land, to attend his estate in Texas. This fellow boarder had previously been engaged in teaching the “ young idea how to shoot,” and had saved up about $l5O, and when he and his employer were packing up to to start, Holmes displayed several boxes ot what he called gold dust, but which may reasonably be supposed to have been brass filings. He also showed a sealed box which, he informed his newly employed secretary, was filled with S2O gold pieces. Then, at his employer’s suggestion the ex-schoolmaster gave his lunds into the-safe keeping of the supposed millionaire, and went to visit a friend prior to his departure to the Far West. In the meantime the confidence man re moved the greater portion of his effects to a steamboat, and stated that he would be back in just an hour and a halt to pay his board, and de part with his secretary. He, however, never returned, and the ex-schoolmaster, when he got back, discovered, to his great regret, that he had’ been detrauded by a swindler, and the landlady at the same time discovered that she had been j cheated out of three weeks board. Such are some of the doings of one of the 44 confidence men” who have recently been operating in our goodly city.— N. O. Delta , 2d. Crops and Famine. —For the last lew months I the short-crops and starvation croakers have had ; full sway and every section where rain has been ! scarce or crops unpromising, from Maine to Tex* as seems to have had its evil genius to report the worst, often exagerated, in a paragraph for ; the two thousand newspapers of the country to publish and copy, and send out to their millions i of readers, all over the Union, while no pen was ; ready to give circulation to the excellent crops of a thousand sections which are never heard of, until a posative panicon the subject, almost na tion wide has resulted. But we are glad to see that croakers are growing fewer, and feebler, the panic subsiding, and a better, and healthier state of public feeling is beginning to prevail. The fact is, the deficiency in tho crops ot the season, has not, at any time during the gloomiest period, justified a tittle of the complaint 60 freely indul ged. The wheat crop, taking the country over, was by no means to be complained of. The corn crops, in some sections are greatly be'ow tbe average, is good in the West and South-west, in the main ; and the crops has beer as good as usual in neighborhoods, and small sections throughout the territory of the worst of the drought. The hay crop is far from* being a fail ure. Oats were very good. Out of the various articles used for winter feeding of stock, a very respectable supply has been laid up. Besides, trans-Atlantic crops are abundant, and we will, of necessity, become our own consumers. Much less will therefore be required to supply home necessities. It may not be amiss to mention al so that tfy tbe late reciprocity treaty, Canada has access to our markets on terms that will render the supplies of her good crops available to our large cities in the North-east. Upon the whole, we think there is no need of alarm, economy is the most that is required. By promptly taking care of what is produced, there will be plenty. The hog crop is abundant. The supply of pork, however, will depend in a great measure upon the grain crop, borne sec tions will fatten but few bogs, in order to save grain ; but take tbe country over, we do not ap prehend either a scarce supply, or an extravagant price. The corn crop in some places has been excellent, and some of the pork packing States, it is stated, will have more than twenty per cent above the average quantity, On the subject ol meat and breadstuff's, we think the country may rest easy. —Knoxville Statesman. la Prepare Starch for Shirt Bosoms.— lake two ounces best pulveiised gum Arabic; put it in a pitcher, or other convenient vessel, \ pour oo it one pint boiling water, cover it, and i let it remain twelve hours, then pour it carefully Irom the dregs into a bottle, cork, and keep for use.

We regret to perceive, says the Charleston Courier, from a telegraphic dispatch, that Mrs. Hamilton, the venerable widow of'the illustrious Gen. Hamilton, Secretary of the Treasury under the Administration of President Washington, died at her residence on New York Avenue, in Washington, yesterday, at the advanced age ot ninety-sixty years. Dr. Hall was her attending physician, and her affectionate daughter —Mrs* Holley—was unremitting in her efforts to soothe and comfort her beloved parent. Two sons ol Mrs. Hamilton—James A. and John C. Hamil ton, Esqs., of New York—were also present.— The distinguished lady was the daughter of Gen. Schuyler pf revolutionary fame. Charge of Attempt to Kill—The Accus* ed in Jail. —The Savannah News of the 9th says: Not a little interest was excited yesterday morning In this community, by thp announce ment of the return of Dr. R. A. J. Repiton in the custody of 2d Lieut. Wylly, of the Mounted Police, under a charge of having conspired with Mrs. Mary (P. D.) Hilzheim to compass the death of her husband, Mr. P. D. Hilzheim, a clothing merchant, of this city. We have not learned any ot the particulars of the assault or whether such was made, and only know, from reliable sources, that on Monday last, Mr. H. ap peared before Justice Raiford, and swore to the charge. A warrant was immediately placed in the hands of the City Constable Gallbway for the arrest of Mrs. H. That officer proceeding to its execution, found Mrs. H. at her store, in the act of packing her goods, with, as she told him, the intent of leaving the city the next evening. Meanwhile another warrant was is sued lor the arrest of Dr. Kepiton, and placed for service in the hands of Lieut. Wylly who proceeded # to Macon by the night train, a,nd ai rested the Dr. in that city by nine o’clock, A* M. Tuesday. And returned with him to this city yesterday morning. Both the accused are now in jail waiting further examination. Os the merits ot the case we know nothing. We may say, however, of Dr. R. that he has been actively engaged as a member ot the Young Men’s Benevolent Association of Savan nah during the epidemic here. As an investi gation of the affair may not be had for a few days, we bespeak for the accused, a suspension of opinion until a judical examination can be obtained. Counterfeit Quarter Eagles, which almost de fy detection are in circulation in New York They are said to be made from a genuine New Orleans Mint die, stolen some years since and bears the “O” under the talons of the eagle.— Professor Torry, Assayer at New York, has an alyzed the coin and find that it is made of a cast ing of pure gold, filled with silver and probably platina, to increase the weight. The weight is 60 5-10 grains, which is only 4 grains light, ajxl the casting of gold weighs 30 1-10 grains. It is therefore worth $1.17 in gold and 8 cents in sil ver, or $1.25 in raw material, beside the labor ol making. The maker and the vender could not, therefore, realize rnsre than $1 each which wou d seem to be a small profit, except that the coun terfeit is so well done that there is but little risk or .detection.-- New Brunswick papers received at Boston on ; Sunday last, state that the reciprocity bill has ! passed the House of Parliament by a vote of 19 to 4, aDd that the following gentlemen are to compose the new Ministry .—Chas.

J Washington, Nov. 6.— The Reciprocity Trea ty.— Mr. Perly, of New Brunswick, returned here on Saturday from Quebec on business rela tive to the Reciprocity Treaty, and has had in terviews with the President, Secretaries Marcy and Cushing and Mr. Crampton the British Minister. Canada and New Bruswick ha 1 ing affirmed the treaty by Legislative enactments and provided for its going into immediate opera tion. This government has promptly consent ed to admit the produce of those Provinces in to the United States on the terms recently es tablished with respect to colonial fish. And an other Treasury circular letter will be issued ac cordingly. Prince Edward Island produce would be included in this circular but no official infor mation of the Legislative proceedings in that colony has yet reached here. The Provinces are much indebted to Mr. Per ly lor his energetic and successful exertions on their behalf. He left this evening, and, it is said, proceeds to Nova Scotia, which province has not yet taken any action on the Treaty and is there fore excluded from the advantages of the pres ent arrangement. It is reported here that Sir Edward Head leaves Boston to-morrow for Canada to assume the post of Governor—and that Lord Elgin will very shortly sail for England alter first visiting New York and Washington.

The bodies of the victims have not yet been found. [second despatch] The name of the miserable woman arrested for the murder of the illegitimate offspring, is Pamelia Myers, alias Snyder. She confessed her most unnatural crimes to Mayor Conard, and said she had killed in succession five chil dren. as soon as they were born! Two were by _one lather and three by another. The last child «vas Lorn a tew days since, and she made way with it, like the others, by throwing into a sink.

A Tame VV hale. —An eastern traveller, in a newly puohsbed woik, entitled “Notes ot Tra vel,” relate, the following singular tact which came under his observation at Muscat. No visitor to tne harbor is better welcomed by the natives than the “Muscat i'om.” This name has been given by sailors to a male tin-back whale which has made an habitual practice for over forty years to enter, feed, and frolic about the cove several hours in each day, always leav ing before night.. Sometimes a smaller member ot hts tribe, supposed to be a female, accom panied him. His length may not be less than seventy feet, and that of his companion silty. Since his aruval signalizes the departure ol the sharks which infest the harbor to the prevention ot sea bathing by the natives, the most stren uous caution is observed not *to interfere witti his pursuits and diversions. He shows no fear oi such vessels a3 trespass upon his* watery field. One bay as he came rolling leisurely andjohly alongside of a vessel at anchor in the harbor, and on which I was, one ot the crew threw with considerable impetus a stick of wood into his open rnouth, as he raised his head out ot the water. This breach ol the good treatment which he had been wont to receive did not draw any signs of displeasure from his whaleship,although more than one malediction was bestowed upon the imprudent tar by the exasperated natives who had observed his censurable conduct. Gov. Johnson.—This distinguished individ ual spenba day or two in our city the first of the present week. He appears to be in fine health and spirits. He is a favorite son of our State, and the democratic party may be proud of such a leader. While he fills the Executive Chair, Georgia will suffer no loss. He is eminently worthy of being the chief officer of the Empire State of the South.— Dalton Times , 9th inst.. A Warning.—Delay not; harbor not your mind that sentence of fool’s philosophy, that a disease will get well of itself,or that you can euro it with certain medicines for a few dollars. Beware how you tamper with your general welfare. Ye wild and vicious youths, why will ye persist in dosing with the filthy, nauseating compounds daily proffered, thereby impairing your appetite and digestion, and destroying you mentally as well as physically, when you can be cured with a few j doses of pleasant medicines 7 Ye rake 3 of every age and condition, why will ye suffer and repine and drag out a miserable ex istence, unfitted for the enjoyment and even ordi | nary pursuits of life? You who are thus annoyed, j and wish to be rostored to health and vigor by a 1 treatment at once pleasant and effectual, should oonsult Dr. Morris. His success in chronic dis eases has been greater than that of any other phy sician of his day. Many who have been for years afflicted with diseaso or consoquences resulting from excess have been restored tp health and vigor under his really scientific treatment.

The Livbrpoql Cotton Marke.t—T&e Cotton accounts differ considerably. Tbe Bro kers Circular of the 27th ult. says that the advices from America had a favorable effect upon the market, and that prices were stiffer, bdt not quotably higher. The circular of Messrs. Brown & Shipley, and in fact the majority of the other circulars, say that the American advices had scarcely any effect upon the market, which was quiet but steady, the demand being moderate, in consequence of trade not being good at previous rates. Middling Mobile was quoted at 5'3-16d. The stock of American Cotton, exclusive of that on shipboard, comprised 457,000 bales. The circular of Messrs. Milligan, Lemprier & Evans reports that the sales during the week ending the 27th ult. comprised 40,000 ba’es, ot which speculators took 3000 and exporters 4000, leaving only 33 000 bales of all descriptions to the trade Pr'ces were a little stiffer, and Fair Orleans was quoted at 6p!., Middling Orleans sjd., Fair Uplands at 61., and Middling Uplands at 5Jd.

So efficacious were they in all cases of Liver complaint, that they be came famous, and attracting the attention of the medical faculty, passed into general use. They act with great certainty- and regularity; the patient almost imiriediately feels the dispersion of his dis ease, and is gradually restored to health. With some the effect is almost miraculous, frequently ex periencing immediate relief, after having for months resorted to drugs and medicines of another deserip tion, in vain. Diseases of the Liver are very com mon in this oountry, and are often frightful in character. Those who experience any of the pre monitory symptoms of this dangerous and compli cated diseaso, should at once procure a box of Dr. M 4 ' ane’s Pills, and perhaps, thereby, be saved a world of misery. Purchasers will be careful to ask for Dr. M’Lanes Celebrated Liver Pills, and take none else. There are other Pills, purporting to be Liver Pills, now before the public. Dr. M’Lane’s Liver Pills, alone his Celebrated Vermifugo, can now be had at all rospoctable Drug Stores in the United States and Canada. Bold by Haviland, Risley & Co.,Wm H.Tutt D.
