Theatbi.—Last aijat was comedy nigbt at the
theatre. Ike performance commenced with that
glorioaa cemedy of the Serustu with Mr.
Welfe as Awincdab S’.etk, who pers-uate-i the
saiffitag, puritanical hypocrite t* perfection,
though ae iaterpeiated various local bits which
agreed rather oddly with the text. We have
thought, hitherto, that is w*« impossible for Mrs
Clarke, se thoroughly is she imbued with the
epirit of Momai, t» assume a grave face, but she
agreeably surprised aa a* J/ *. f -,-eas, looking as
serious and demure as a qaaker. Mrs. Crisp, as
Lady Somrby Or-atnby. enterea into ‘.he sp-irit of
the character with infinite zest. Mr. Hamllt* n,
aa the Captain, was gay and easy. The singing
was much better than usual- “Oar Jessie" sing
in* “Sparking 'unday Night." with muck grace
and naivete'.

HoaaißLE Villaixv.—The NewY'ork Herald of
the 6th, says the Richmond Dispatch 1 ith. has been
received in this city. In it is a letter from Grant to
Sheridan, in which he direct.* him te burn every
house in the Valley; te kill every horse, cow, hog.
sheep, or other animal: to destroy efery mill: to
set fire to every bara. wheat or hay suck: to cut
down every ornamental tree and carry off every
negro. He say* if this war continues twelve months
lenger, he desire* to convert the whole Valley into
a howling wilderness. Tnere is nothing ia modern
history so atrocious as this order. It is the act of a
man with ma i brains and great vanity, who has
been beaten and baffied until his senses have Cod
completely. It is tie out-pouring es a beaten and
wounded spirit. He cannot whip Lee, but he can
starve the women and ehiidrea. We turn him over
to Gea. Leo.
This order was issued while Shmdaa was, as he
thought, carrying every thing before him. It had
not time to be published before he was flying down
the Val ey with his freeWecers, and Early ia pur
suit. Is there a man belonging to the Valley whe
can stay away from his colors under such circum
stances ? If there is, he most be dead to all the im
pulses that ennoble man. Never wa* vengeance
m re loudly eaUed for.
Tie Cincinnati Commercial is mendacious enough
to report the story that Got. Brown tendered peace

Infernal .Machines.
The Cincinnati Commercial furnishes the
following description of the infernal machines
lately discovered in Indianapolis .
These implements of destruction are of the
qjost formidable character, and one of thetp ia
particular, deserves a minute description Tbi*
is the hand grenade. It consists of two hoi-,
low iron globes the one being contained with
in the other. The larger or outside globs
consist? of two neniispheres which screw to
gether. making a perfect sphere. Thie is
three inches in diameter, and when the two
parts are screwed tight together it presents ao
opening. The smaller sphere, which is con
tained in the larger. bus of course, perfectly
disconnected therefrom, is also hollow aui
about two inche* ia diameter. In the exterior
surface of the globe there are seven holes, one
being a quarter of an inch in diameter, and
the other six. say a sixteenth of an inch.
The large hole is of course isteaied simply te
ee used in placing the Greek fire er other combi*-
i tibles within the inner glebe of the shell. The
other holes, which are punctured at Icgniar at*-
taices in the glebe, are covered on th* exterior
•nrface with smah brass tube* simitar to a piste!
tube or "nipple,” on each es which a cap fit*
tightly.
Now let thi? shell be filled with the elements et
destruction, each tube or nipple cevere i with a
can, this longer orifice tightly plugged, and the
whe.e affair, as thus prepared, cestaised within
the larger globe, and we have the most formidable
band-grenade ever [made —the most surely des
tructive ever known ; and for thi* reason : The
smaller globe doe? set by any means fit tightly
within the larger, bat has room to move, eecse
qneatly the leas: motion causes one of these iiflle
aipp.es te *trike against the outward surface of
the outside shell with more er less violence, and it
requires but slight concussion te exp.ode the affair
and scatter destruction around.
The other articles are less formidable ia appear
ance. One is a conical she!!, aa inch in diameter
at the base, aad about six inches long, intended te
St on the end of a rocket. The other is the modei
cf a peculiar rocket bat*try te be ssed ii dischar
ing- say a dozen at a lime, of these iheil rocket*.
Marriage or Miss Belle Born.—On the
morning o: Aug. 25, a ni-st icterssting ceremony
of marriage took place at the Church es .St. James

’ officer ia the United States Xayy, holding the
rask of Lieutenant on board es tae American
war steamer Connartacu. Toe lady, who is abeat

daughter of Gen. Boyd, of the Southern State?
army, who lately expired in prison, haring been
made prisoner by the Federais. The lady’s ca
reer isfull of the most eventful, heroic and roman
tic feat are#. Her father Gen. Boyd, who possesses
vast estates in the territory af Virginia, early am
braced the cause of Soathern independence, ana
was soon entrusted with a command, obtaining
the rank of General. His daughter, the bride en
thuasticaHy embraced the same cause, followed
her father to the field, and accompanied him
through: at his campaign with the celebrated
StonewsL Jacksen, and on two occasions, heroic
ally. as a modern Joan of Arc, led on the treep*
te battle; she was, however, in a skirmish, cap
toned aad made prisoner*, and conveyed to Wash
ington, where she was imprisoned.
Here she remaiaed thirteen months, when ska
was exchanged for Gen. Cochrane, who had been
made prisecer by the Confederates. On her re
turn to the South, she went en board the Grey
hound, a Confederate steamer, which was captur
ed by the Federal steamer Ccnnae tacit, while run
ning the blockade. Lt Harding was sent on heart
the Greyhound as prise master, with his young
heroine as a prisoner. The result was that they
mutually became enamored, and escaped togeth
