Y. Times. The Assasination Dramatized in Vienna. At Vienna you will see, a theatre is representing .a, piece entitled, ‘‘Four ’ years of Civil War in America, or the Death of Lincoln.” A French writer proposes t© write a drama which shall include the following details —enough one would suppose for half a dozen ex* citing dramas: He proposes first to ’ introduce Booth, senior, with his singu” lar trait of character —the s~ene ol put” :mg himself, in the pawn-office window;, and that of sucking liquor through a pipe-stem inserted in the lock of his temporary prison. 2, Scenes in Lin-> coin's early life ; boating on the river; the Black Hawk War. 3. The John Brown Tragedy at Harper’s Ferry, and appearance of Wilkes Booth at the Charlestown gallows. 4. Lincoln Presi dent,, .and incidents of the terrible four years’ war. 5. The interrior of the Surratt House at Washington * and a meeting of the • conspirators therein. — G T 1 ic scene of the murder at the the” atre and at Mr. Seward's house, and the chase after the murderers. 7. The ter” ribic scene .at the burning barn, and the death of Booth. 8. The magnificent funeral and apotheosis of Lincoln. .. The writer who recommends these eight tableaux as the subject of a grand drama; expressed the hope that some master hand like that of Alexander I)us mas,-shall take them up, so as to keep them out of the hands of the theatrical farseufs, and thus secure to the public a drama worthy of the thrilling realities on which it shall be based. ’ Southern; mm all! ivll bfllrM! ’ CAPITA!, hnlilS COMPANY is now organized, and we 1. are prepared, to make liberal advances on and’.other produce consigned to <tur Agent in • ‘ • LIYERP#OL.
