" M r . 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.,

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.—

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.

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.

Death of Mrs. Hamilton.
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.--

The sentiments of that, letter meet my cordial

propriate to myself credit entirely due to another,

ty.— Mr. Perly, of New Brunswick, returned
here on Saturday from Quebec on business rela

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

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

The firsl information of these most revolting
crimes was commui icated to the vsayor in an
anonymous letter, when steps were immediate
ly made to bring the woman to justice. '
The murders were committed in Nicetown,
in the upper section ot tt.e consolidated city.—

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.
Should a personal interview be objevtionable,
state your disease in writing—enclose five dollars
—adfirSss Dr. W. 11. Morris, through the Posts
Office, Nashville, Tonn., and a package of Medi
cines, securely put up, will be sent privately, and
with dispasch, full directions therewith, and no
questions asked.
Persons living at a distanoe, and afflicted with
Scrofula, Old Ulcers, letter Cancers, Piles, Fistula
In Ano, Gravel, Strictures, Gleets, or any disease
iwhatever of an aggravated or malignant character,
can be cared at home by consulting Dr. Morris,
by letter, post paid, enclosing a fee. These Medi
cines. pleasant and safe, can be sent per mail to any
j part of the United States.
Particular attention given to the treatment of
| female oomplainta. Ladies who may be afflicted
with irregularities, Flour Albus or Whites, Pro

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

Li ™ r —The Liver Pills of
Dr. M'Lane were'first used fcy him ex
clusively in his own practice. 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.

Among which may be specified “Dr. Hooflands

used with remarkable suocess in Liver Complaint

“Wc feel convinced, that in the use of the Ger--

Bitters are pleasant in taste and in smell, and oan
be administered under any circumstances?, to the

by al I persons with the most perfect safety. It would
