from her station in the St. John's river to j
Port Royal, far rcy.Urs, was unable toj
.cross the bar. at the mouth of the St. j
John's, in consequence of the storm, j
-which raged fariossHy at that point dur- j
ing the flow ?f the spring tides. She j
will doubtless be able *> effect a safe passage
over, the bar, on the next spring
tides, which aarve in u few days. Commander
Geo. B. Bulch, senior officer in

ship* Tlie Pawnee has performed valuable
service ia the river since the occupation
of Florida, and will doubtless return

pleted. The following is a correct lb t of'

The C'iinerone, Commander Hughes,

Anil repairs. She experienced the gale |
off Cape Ilattaras, and encountered a j
terrible sea, which did her paddle-boxes
considerable damage, and imperilled the
safely of the ship itself. Fortunately
the ship rode out the gale safely, although
badly shaken up, and reached
this port In a rather disordered condition.
As soon as her preparations arc completed
she will proceed on her course to
New Orleans.

DRAMATIC.
Tick Baktjx Dramatic Association*
continue to prosper, playing four nights
in the week to crowded and appreciative
audiences. There is a manifest improvement
since the opening, as the company
get well at their work. Some portions
of The Rent Day, as rendered on Monday
and Tuesday evenings, would have
been creditable to a stock company at a
first class theater North, and several of
the raemb ts, in the after pieces, have
shown fine capacity for comedy parts, a
class of performance which really requires
as much talent and cultivation as
a melodrama or even high tragedy. The
couii>any contains several good vocalists,
and with Mr. Dickson and Mr. Wliite, who
have followed the profession of the stage,
the combination is excellent. The bills
for the coming four performances are announced
in our advertising columns.
Tiik Thiro New Hampshire Ban*i>
furnished the orchestra for the Union
Theater on Monday and Tuesday evenings,
in the absence of the Post Band,
away on special duty.
Benefit ok tue Post Band.?On Monday
evening the Post Band, who have
furnished the regular orchestra for the
Union Theater, are to liave a benefit.
The Band deserves well of the public,
aside from its material aid to the success
of the Theater enterprise. Wc need not
bespeak a good house, for the Union
Theater haR had no other since its opening.
Death or Past Officer* of tiie B.
D. A.?Orderly Sergeant Daniel Cox, of
Co. F, 48th Regiment, for a long time
Vice President of the Barton Dramatic
Association, died on Monday night, in hospital,
at Hilton Head, of wounds received
at the battle of Olustee. Orderly Serg't
G. A. Beissenhera, of the same company,
formerly Treasurer of the Association, wa s
killed outright at Olustee. The Association
have passed resolutions of respect,
which appear elsewhere.
JiKNKFIT of TIIK SANITARY UOMMIS8IOX.
We understand the Association have
tendered their services for eight nights
for the benefit of the Sanitary Commission.
Flf.as have made their appearance
again, with appetites whetted by abstinence.
If it is good for the soul to torture
the flesh, verily fleas are saintmakers
; but if profanity is wicked, then
fhey arc* indeed artful devices of the
devil to make men sin.
Arkansas Free.?The result of the
recent State election in Arkansas is exceedingly
favorable, and indicates an intention
on the part of a large number of
loyal" voters to bring the State back into
the Union, under the provisions of the
President's Proclamation. Partial returns
from eleven counties give more
votes than the whole number required to
replace the State in the Union again.
The vote also confirms the action of
*l? ?#.nr.nnt!nn iliinlonnfr alill'PrV 1
ull" iluc i v/h tvuviuii^ uwiuatu^ forever
abolished in the State.
Ick.?Mr. C. A. Van Zandt lias made j1
such arrangements for furnishing the j
whole Department with ice, as will, we j
believe, enable us to linve a full supply <
this summer, without intermission.

Arrival from Boston.?The steamer
Ashland, from Boston, arrived here yesterday
afternoon. She brought flies of
the Boston Herald to the 22d, but no
mails. Her later news is unimportant.
A New Tax Commissioner for F;:.obida.?Ex-Congressman

of Wisconsin, who accepted Koger A.
Pryor's invitation to fight a duel,
and proposed bowie knives as the
weapons, which Pryor declined has be in
appointed by the President and confirmed
by the Senate, Direct Tax Commissioner I
for Florida.
General Goriha's Cask.?The courtmartial
in the above case has completed
its labors in the trial on charges preierrca
by General Gillmore, of disobedience of
orders. Another trial commenced Tuesday
morning on charges preferred by
Lieut. Bingham. The proceedings and
finding of the Court, in both cases, will
Ixj sent to Washington for approval. The
result cannot, of course, be made public
until the decision is made known at
Washington, as the court was convened
by the President's order.
Chief of Artillery.?Lt.-Col. C. R.
Brayton, of the 3d R. I. Artillery, has

Auction Sales.?Mr. A. L. Stimson
sold at auction, last Friday, a quantity
of damaged government flour, for 75
cents per barrel, and a quantity of sugar
crackers at $2 55. The sale was but
thinly attended, and there was not much
competition, which accounts for the extremely
low prices, and suggests that
traders will do well to watch the advertisements
of auction sales.
Mails Expected.?The Massachusetts
is expected to arrive here this morning,
from Philadelphia with a mail. The
Arago, from New York, is also due today.
