Juveniles* A large and delighted audience greet ed the second appearance of the Marsh Troupe last night. The “Brigand" went off with fine effect, and little George heat Burton and the world in Tocdles, To-night the great dramatic spectaclo of the “Sea of Ice,” will he presented. The Atlanta American, alluding to the performance of this piece in that city says: On Saturday night the Troupe per formed with admirable effect the new Drama of “The Sea of Ice," before a full and delighted audience. The entire paraphenalia belonging to this play scenery, decorations and wardrobe—are gotton up on the most extensive scale and in the most tasteful and magnifi cent style. The Atlanta Intelligencer, speaking of the same piece, sa.rs : “ Decidedly the crowning act of their performances in our city was the “Sea of Ice,” which closed their engagement with us on Saturday evening last. Killed by the Car.. A negro boy named Jake, a carpenter belonging to John Piiinizv, Sr., was run overby the cars about three miles from the city, as the train was coming in last night, and killed almost instantly. Harper’s Magazine. We have been favored with a copy of Harper for January, by Mr. Norkeli.. Its leading papers are illustrated sketch es of “Tropical Journeyings,” of the “People of Red River,” and of “Que bee.” “The Virginians” is continued, and the “Editor’s Table” is full and varied as usual. This magazine is bound to maintain the high rank it has acquired among the periodical litera ture of the day. [communicated.] Serenaders should not always leave in a hurry after they have finished play ing their pieces. Last night an egg nog was fixed up, with the intention of ask ing “um in," but they were found miss ing when looked for at the door. Admirer of Serenaders. [communicated] “Tilt Money Changers.” Mr. Editor:—A card signed “Fair —-“Rijn,” appeared in your paper on yes terday, reflecting very unjustly upon “a person Or persons,” who buys uncurrent money at the Georgia Railroad depot. Aslamthe only individual, “not offi dally connected with the road,” who make it my business to accommodate ‘ the public in that way, I deem it pro per to state, that I charge in all cases t ates of the brokers in the city, and I cheerfully refer to any man, who has trausactions with me, and is acquaint ed with tho customary rates of ex change, and travelers regard it a con venience to got current funds without hunting for a broker’s office. Green travelers may think it proper for me to do this without charge, but the intelli gent public will not expect it, and 1 shall give them no cause to fear being swindled. G. A. Blount. Collapse of Imperial Crinolin*. — The following intelligence is from a pri vate letter, dated at Paris, November 25th : “The Empress created a great sensa tion at Compiegne last week by appear ing in a dress without crinoline, very small at the top of the skirts, with the immense old-fashioned hoop at the bot tom. Next year the ladies will ho wearing the dress of the old pictures of the days of Louis XIV.” The Savannah Races. —The annual meeting at the Ten Broeck Course, Sa vannah, commences on Tuesday next, January 4th. Already the season tbero is attrr.cting the attention of horsemen. Col. Boswell’s Planet and’ other hoases that have been in training in onr city for some time past, leave Charleston to day for Savannah to win a few purses there, ere competing for the Hutchin son.— Charleston News. — Bermuda. —An officer of the Sabine, in a letter dated November 3d, says : lam glad to have an opportunity of seeing Bermuda, for it is rarely or never visited by our national ships,and not one has ever, I believe, been driven here for relief. Great hospitality has been exten ded to us by the officials of the island, and every facility afforded for repairing the crippled frigate. In the event of war with us, Bermuda would be of in estimable value to England, and a ter rible thorn in the side of the United States. Against the natural defence of this group of islands—a coral reef—mil itary sciences would be of no avail, and the narrow channel way is not only de fended by shore batteries, but also by one of those powerful iron shot-proof steam batteries- built for the Baltic —carrying 16 8 inch solid shot-guns.

Louisiana Orange C'p.or.—The orange crop of Louisiana this season is very large, and the eorp is selling from plan tation at from six to eiclit dollars per thousand. Last year a planter below the city was offered, for fifteen hundred dollars, a small tract of land adjoining his, und which was planted with orange ’ trees of full growth. He refused, and this season the owner of the tract iu question has sold his orimge crop for three thousand dollars. Accident to tiie Steamship Hunts ville. —A dispatch to Messrs.

Being fond o experim nt, I have tried, for the last twenty-five years, every va 5 riety of Cotton that promised a large yield, and have found nothing that equals my present stock of Seed. It is a Hybrid ol the Boyd’s and other Proli lies with the Petit Gulf. I luve stalks ! uow in iuy omce, Four feet high, with 165 bolls on it. i Three feet high, with.... 125 “ “ Two feet high, with... .75 k ‘ “ As many as two hundred and fifty bolls and forms have been counted cm a few large staiks. Every persou who has seen my crop pronounce - it the heaviest boiled cotton they ever saw. One planter pulled off a limb, twelve inches long, t having nine bolls on it. As this Cotton does not limb as long as Petit Gulf, it can be planted 1 closer in the row and drill, thus securing a } greater number of stalks to the acre. 1 will fill orders for Seed at One Dollar and - Twenty-five Cents per bushel, sneked in new . cotton sacks, and delivered in Augusta, and for * warded as directed.
