e destitute of all munitions and provisions, and there is no hope of their being supplied from any quarter. At Santa Fe the rebels levied heavily on the merchants, in some cases taking as high as $15,000 worth of goods, paying for them in Confederate scrip. It was believed that General Canby would now follow the rebels and drive them out of the Territory. No doubt exists as to the ability of the United States troops to keep out he invaders, but an accession of two or three regiments of troops is necessary to keep the Apaches and Navajo in subjection. They have been committing depredations for months past, stealing and mules and everything that came in their way. The report of the formation of a Territorial Government under the rebel authority, has no foundation. All the territorial officers had returned to Santa Fe and resumed the performance of their duties. Chief Justice Benedict is on his way to the States, and there is to United States Judge now in the Territory.

Carolinian, writing from Charleston on Monday, says: The house of Mr. Barrett, on Society street, was first struck by a shell last night. It passed through the roof and two stories, and buried itself in the cellar, without injuring any of the sleeping women in the house. Another struck the carriage establishment of Benedict & Co., passed through and fell in the cistern; two fell on the lot of the Artesian well, exploding, scattering bricks, & c.; another struck Martin's Insurance Office, next the Courier office, without damage; one passed through a house in Queen street, and several at other points, but with no loss of life.

It has been decided that this regiment of "colored men must be mustered out of the service," in consequence of this situation between an officer and some of the men. The New York Times has an account of the mutiny at Fort Jackson. It grew out of Col. Benedict's asking ten negroes coming in from beyond the lines their authority for leaving. They answered insolently, and be, seizing a whip, commenced lashing them, and a revolt ensued.

excellence of its stock company, and a careful regard to the proprieties of scenery and costumes, which gave it eminence among American theatres. In 1861, the present Wallack's Theatre, the leading theatre of the United States, was established at the corner of Thirteenth street and Broadway. "Mr. Wallack was probably, up to the time of his retiring from the stage, the best of the old school of actors. He was, perhaps, most admirable in what might be termed the romantic drama, in such representations as 'Benedict' and 'Reuben Glenroy.' Although critics might be disposed to question him in the highest works of tragedy, in parts that merged upon the melodramatic, like 'Julien St. Pierre,' he was inapproachable in his time. "Mr. Wallack has suffered for some years of affections often incident to old age. He always dressed with the most fastidious taste, and had rather a Parisian appearance. His name was ever spoken with respect by the members of the theatrical profession."
