gade. The whole command was actively engaged, and materially aided in the victory gained. At McDowell Junction, on the 27th of September, at Jones' farm, Gravelly run and Hargrove's house, the brigade was engaged with varying success, but with continuous pugnacity. In November Hampton made his cattle raid, and dashing in at Grant's depot, City Point, drove off over 2,000 head of cattle. This raid was admirably planned and as admirably executed. On the return the North Carolina brigade had a brisk rear-guard action at Belcher's mill. On the 8th of December, when the North Carolina Senior and Junior reserves so admirably defended the Weldon railroad bridge near Belfield, the pursuit was conducted by General Barringer, and he states that two squadrons of the First regiment, commanded by Captain Dewey, made a splendid mounted charge. General Bar-ringer puts the losses in his brigade for this campaign as follows: Killed, 99; wounded, 378; missing and captured, 127; total, 604.

ent Jim Franks, a private in Captain Robert A. Bell's company, who at first fired on it, from shooting down the bearer. He afterwards plead his ignorance of the sacredness of a flag of truce in extenuation and excuse for his grave misconduct) it was borne out by a young captain in an Indiana regiment (I regret having lost his card given me on that occasion), accompanied by a guard, in my immediate front, when (Colonel Smith and Lieutenant-Colonel Bullock were both shot down and dying, and Major Bar was that day acting on Chalmers's staff) it devolved on me, as the senior officer present, to meet it; which was done about midway our lines. The officer informed me that General Chalmers had sent a flag in on our right demanding a surrender; which was refused, but that an armistice for the purpose of removing the dead and wounded had been agreed to, and that ten minutes notice would be given before the flag would be withdrawn. These facts were communicated to our men, who at once began

s exerted himself to the utmost, and by long and persevering labor has succeeded in completing a series of scenes of wonderful beauty. The author of the play is Mr. Burdett Howe, whose merits as an actor we have often alluded to, and who is deservedly popular with the public. It is stated by those who have witnessed its rehearsal, that the piece exhibits much literary ability. In its representation, a good deal of the supernatural is resorted to, and as it progresses, the beholder is astonished and bewildered by those strange mechanical effects which contribute to make up a gorgeous dramatic spectacle. The principal parts will be sustained by Messrs. Howe, Bailey, Meldrum, Lamb, Warwick, Phillips, Meer, and others, Mrs. Phillips, Mrs. De Bar, Misses Newton and Hartington; while a large number of auxiliaries are employed, and nothing has been neglected in the minuteæ of the piece.-- "The Necromancer" will be played to-night for the first time. We hope the house will be thronged.

Theatre. --To-night the patrons of this popular place of amusement will be treated to the play of Fortunio; or, The Seven Gifted Servants; the Highland Fling, (old regular dance,) by Mrs. DeBar, who is 53 years old, and is as "good as new" in anything she undertakes; also, the Opera of Norma, Mr. Meldrum playing the Priestess and Mrs. DeBar Adelgisa--a rare combination of extremes — concluding with the interesting play of Isabella; or, Woman's Love, the whole forming, we conceive, a rare bill of entertainment. The performance is for the benefit of Mrs. De Bar.

between the gentlemen. Mr. Montagur offered a resolution, which was adopted, requesting railroad companies to report to the Convention, as early as practicable, the number of negroes carried over their roads, on route for any Southern States, within the years 1855 and 1861, inclusive, Mr. Tredway, of Pittsylvania, called up his resolution, which was laid on the table on Wednesday last, for the appointment of a select committee to inquire and report as speedily as possible as to whether any movement of arms or men have been made by the General Government to any fort or arsenal in or bordering upon Virginia, in- dicating a preparation for attack or coercion. The resolution was discussed by Messrs. Bar- nour of Jefferson, Borst, Early, Tredway, Jackson, Carlile, Harvie, and Wickham; after which it was put to a vote and passed. Various resolutions in relation to the national crisis were then presented and referred to the Committee on Federal Relations, when the Convention adjourned.

illed the audience. It is in this that the chief merit of the production lies; for we confess to but little interest in the "story of the play," and found the prolix dialogue of the minor parts somewhat tedious. So great, however, was the influence of Miss Bateman's portraiture of the trials and sufferings of Geraldine, that we experienced a sensation of regret that the play was over, when the curtain fell at the close of the fifth act. Mr. Bateman played acceptably as David of Ruthin. Mrs. De Bar, as the Nurse Joan, was excellent, as she is in every part she undertakes; and Lamb played the character of the Earl's Jester so well, that we doubt very much if it could have been improved upon. Miss Bateman played "Parthenia" and "Gertrude" for her benefit last night, and, we doubt not, continued to win the applause of the public. To-night "Romeo and Juliet" will be repeated. Of Miss Bateman's performance of Juliet we have already given our favorable opinion, and we advise all a

Comedy of Self. --Mrs. Bateman's excellent comedy, which was performed with great success at the Richmond Theatre a few years since, will be produced to-night. Miss Bateman appears as "Mary Apex," Mr. Bateman as "John Unit," and Mr. T. L. Moxley as "Aunt Chloe." This is an assurance that the play will be well performed; but in addition, the general cast of characters has been judiciously made, including Mrs. Phillips, Mrs. De Bar, Miss Ida Vernon, Messrs. Meldrum, Bailey, Warwick, &c. The incidents of this play are irresistibly humorous, and it is admitted everywhere to be the best portrayal of American peculiarities ever placed upon the stage. It has been for some time in preparation at our Theatre, and its production will be distinguished by all the merit of stage and scenic effect in the ample resources of the establishment. We well remember the enjoyment the comedy of "Self" imparted to our citizens four winters ago, and we anticipate a renewal of the pleasure on this occ

Richmond theatre. --We are enabled to state that an arrangement has been effected through which the people of Richmond will have an opportunity of indulging their passion for dramatic entertainments during the fall and winter. The theatre, which is now undergoing some necessary improvements, will shortly be re-opened under the management of Prof. J. H. Hewitt, of this city. He is now engaged in securing the services of a good company, which will probably include Miss Ida Vernon, the Misses Partington, Mrs. De Bar, Miss Ella Wren, and other favorites of former days, with valuable accessions from the Southern States. Prof. Hewitt is thoroughly familiar with the popular taste in dramatic and musical matters, and we confidently look forward to an agreeable "season." It is his present intention to commence about the 1st of November.

Dramatic --The performance at the Theatre last night was for the benefit of the Hampton sufferers, which we consider a laudable proceeding on the part of the management.--The house is crowded every night, and we hear good opinions expressed of the manner in which Miss Wren, Mrs. De Bar, Messrs. Daiton, Warwick and Ogden, and some others, acquit themselves. On Monday night next, Miss Ida Vernon, a young lady of excellent accomplishments, will commence an engagement, which we prophecy will be a brilliant one.
