Nor iy Tae Biuts.—During the parformance of the “Carpenter of Rouen’? at the
theater on Saturday night, when the success
. of the revolutionists was being celebrated
. by the burning of red fire, the dog Prince,
who was chained to the leg of the stove in
one of the dressing rooms, awaiting bis time
to xo on, became annoyed witb the smoke
and sulphurous sieach, and giving a tug at
. his chain, upset the stove, letting down the
pipe with acrash, overturning a water
bucket, and raising thunder generally. Jo
his alarm, Prince rushed out upon the stage
. dashed through the orchestra, and was making speedy tracks out of the house when
. some one near the door checked him and
. turned him back. In the same play a very
. aflecting scene occurs where Madelon (Mra,
. Perry) comes on with a child in ber arms,
. The infant provided for the occasion was a
. lusty seven-year old boy, who became
. frigbteued and began to kick and squirm to
. get loose. Madelon, however, beld on man‘fully to the slack of the youngster’s trowsers, which were drawo up in such a manner .
as to display an immense supercies of cowhide boots, The scene was so ludicrous that
Madelon, notwithstanding her grief, was
. obliged to turn her back to the audience to
hide ber Jangbter; the rest of the company
on the stage caught the contagion and
them bad a sort of half-defined impression
that that wasn't exactly the place where
the laugh ought to come in, nevertheless
overcame their ecraples, and laughed loud
. and long at the funny contre temps.—[Stockton Repub,
Errects or THE FLoop.—A_ visitor to the
. valleys cannot but be surprised and impressed, to bebold the vast amount of damage wrought by flood along the immediate
. channels of the Yuba river and its mountain tributaries, The rich and fertile bottom where Turner’s bridge was located, is
almost entirely covered with sand, to the
depth of from two to five feet, Gardens,
apple and peach orchards, higher up the
river, have entirelyly disappeared, or reluxuriunt and vigorous proportions. From
to the slough which margins Maryesville,the
former magnificent valley land—teeming

hardly sell for an amount sufficient to pay
the taxes. In this vicinity the Marysville
workmen are now engaged in reconstructing it, Until such times as itis finished,

This is getting along pretty well, The
rebels are ahead of us, however, Besides
. the 25 pieces they fairly captured at Ball
Run, they “took” from us, at Norfolk, 400
. pieces; at Charleston, about 300 pieces; at
Savanvah, 100 pieces; at New Orleans, 200
. pieces; at Mobile, 100 pieces; in the Flori. da forts. about 150 pieces; in Texas, about
50 pieces; and io North Carolina, about 100
. pieces—total, 1,425 pieces. Their acquiritions Were nearly all before the war commenced and may be eaid to have been sto.
len, while ours were won in combat or
gained by military manceavres equivalent
to victories,
DesvondENcY IN ReBELvom.—The advices
. from the rebel States are, almost without
exception, of the most doleful character.
Even the braggart Wigfall, who was going
to dictate terms of peace to the North in
. Faneuil Hall, has given himself over to
. despair. A Richmond correspondent of
the New Orleans Crescent says, in a recent
. letters
You will natorally desire to know how
'the people of the Confederate metropolis
‘stand these tryiog times, for it is evident
‘that we are not safe in these days of light
. draft gunboats aud bigh water. I answer,
. in the main, we stand it very well. Some,
. to be sure, are downhearted, and nobody
. wears eo broad a griv as they did the day
. after the battle of Leesburg. Still, there is
. universal determination to do or die—to
. go down, if need be, with our harness on,
. warring like a brave people to the last. I
. passed Gen, Wigfall on my return from
. dinoer, and asked if there was any news’
. “No,” said he, “I don’t believe we have
. been whipped since dinner; I expect,thongh
. to hear of another defeat in the uext five
. minutes.’ Somehow I can’t help thinking
. of Halleck’s assertion by telegraph to Me. Clellan that “the Union flag is on the soil
. of Tennessee, never to be removed.” This
. is brag, but the Yankees bave, up to this
. time, stuck like leeches wherever they bave

_ requires no poking or stirring, as do other . fact, which disheartens me more than anyleoals, It should be left, generally, to burn . thing else. J have no hope now in anbody
