Tho Southern Relief Fund-Mr. Jtromc's
... Theatre.
The amateur entertainments which have beou
given, imder the auspices of tho Ladies' Society,
for the Southern Relief Fund, at Mr. Jerome's pri?
vate theatre, near Madison Avenue, close 1 laet Sa?
turday evening. The nev receipts for thc thirteen
nights were $12,000. The btory is wry woll to ld in
the following uoatly written op?ogu?, which was
delivered at the closo of the play:
EPILOGUE.
This is the night on which wo say farewell 1
The saddest word, as all our hearts will tell.
That ever passes human lips; now lot tis fly
One moment on thc wings of memory.
Let us recaU-uh, who roamin t>. TS not
The pleasant story of this genial spot ?
Tis a vain thing to "summon up a sigh,"
Pursue the phantom of a day gone by,
icecount tho moments of a golden hour,
Briny back the fragrance to a faded flower;
Or aim at that which was so hard to bit.
Tue vanished bubble of prismatic wit !
Yet who can free him from those fatal wiles.
Tho cherished beauty of remembered smiles !
Tais joyous moment's ours 1 and here we stand
Oirdhng the present with a rosy band.
Yet deem it not weakness, if wo yield at last,
And give ono tender memory to tbe pa** i
But few are present now, but many know
Tue story of our wort throe years ago.
That voice which swelled in fuU impassioned note
?'rom out tho loveliest mouth, thc fairest rounded throat.
(hit Pruna Donna ! here most rightly placed,
We send her greeting from the stage she graced;
Those comedies neat, elegant, and raro,
Our actresses-so gifted and so lair 1
Our runny Man, whose Oxford accent neat
Fins ull his sentences with wis concrete.
All, all were good, and some were of tho best;
.Nor can I pause to tell you of the rest.
Tba operas, balls, the grand munhicence,
In past, pluperfect, and in present tease,
Which makes the history of this pretty place 1
And first we thank, for be has earned the right, v
The host whose favored guests we are to night.
'Tis he who feeds the hungry, helps the poor.
And turns no pleading suppliant 'tom his door.
But .'or his kindness, we had a??t c ?saved
'l he 'rarious solos in which all have played.
His Idndest deed remains yet to be told,
.for like his namesake-in the legend old
As hs was resting in tho busy Strand
A nightingale came, budded in his hand
Her little neat, and thence most sweetly sends
Her mutuo forth to charm tho world, and tell
Of the good heart which cherished har so wed.
But not alone to him our thanks aro due.
But also patient public, unto you.
How much you've borne, alas 1 we ne'er shall know;
How much we've learned, we that at least can show.
Our tittle plays and tableaux vivants bring,
(And not forgetting those who came to Bing)
Twelve thousand dollars-true metalic ring t
It might be worse I Ah, would it had boen more
To heal HMM sufferings-which Gol knows are sore.
But wee bave done our beet, and parting lay
cur grateful tribute at your feet, and pray
That this our theatre-may not pass away;
Let lt remain-let it forever be
The tasteful temple of true charita.
LETTER FROM EX-GOVERNOR PERRY.
We publish below the following letter from Hon.
B. F. PERRY; on the political situation :
'The United States shall guarantee to every
State, in this Union a republican form of govern?
ment"-Section 4, Article IV., Constitution of the
Ur .ited States of America.
Under this authority the Congress of the United
States, afkir excluding from their seats the Sena?
tors aita Representatives of ten Southern States,
has. established in all of tho excluded States a
Military Government, absolute and unlimited in
its powers. It is well known that these States
heve exhausted their power and resources in a
g&Uant und heroic struggle for independence and
self-government. They now have no alternative
but unqualified submission to the military despo
tium thrown over them. It is to be hoped, and it
is generally behoved, that the military command?
ers in the Southern States will exercise their des?
potic powers' wisely and humanely. It is the ad
' ministration of a government, and not the form of
a government, which makes it odious and op?
pressive. A despotism, wisely, justly and virtu?
ously', (j administered, is the most perfect
government that can be established. It is the
government of God, established by Him for the
government of tho. universe.
Five or six mouths agoSouth Carolina, with ah
the other Southern States, rejected with scorn and
indignation the Constitutional Amendment, which
proposed to exclude from offica their leading men,
aaa reduce their representation in Congress un?
less they permitted universal negro suffrage. Now
il; is proposed by the Military Bill not only to ex?
clude ibis class of persons from office, but to dis
franchis? them ana exclude them from voting in
all elections,' and at tho same time to enfranchise
their former slaves, and give universal suffrage to
tho negro. Strange to say that there are many
persons "in the Southern .States whose high sense
of honor would not let themadopt the Constitu?
tional Am ondm en t, who are now urging the peo?
ple to voluntarily swallow the Military Bul, regard?
less of honor, principle or consistency. I am hap?
py to know that they aro secessionists, and never
were Union men. ' . '
The ' inquiry is, which, then, shall we do? While
I have been writing, the telegraph brings the
glorious news that Mississippi and Georgia have
appealed to the judiciary- for the protection of
their co?3t.itntionol rights as sovereign States of
tho Americui Unit OB. ' Would to God that South
Carolina stood by the side of. Mississippi and
Georgia, in thia their Last noble effort to maintain
their dignity and honor as States, and the just
rights' and li berti ea of taeir citizens. If this last
grandexpiring effort ii favor of freedom should
fail, then the South will have to quietly meet the
tyranny of Congress, but ni meeting she need not '
embrace the hideous thing. When the military
"" order is issued for a' registration of voters, let
everyman, not disfranchised, go forward and reg?
ister his name. When the election is ordered for
a Convention, it will be the duty of every voter to
cast bis Toto for the wisest, best and most trust?
worthy, men, who are eligible to seats in that Con?
vention. This much ho is forced to do for self
protection, and to keep the State Government
hom miling into the hands of unworthy and base
men. He need go no further. Let him then en?
dorse on his ticket, -lNo Convention " If he is a
S,triot and an honorable man, he cannot desire
e ohange which tho Military Eil! contemplates,
and be should not vote a lie !
^th the cunning which always characterizes the
tjivot, .Congress, has enacted that the people
themselves shall endorse the call of a convention,
in order io give legal validity to its acts. Without
this endorsement, the whole proceeding might be
regarded as forced on the States by the military
government, and, therefore, null and void. Heneo,
the trick of making the people endorse the call of
a convention... It is to bo hoped that they will not
be caught by this cunning device, and that they
may . be able to influence their freedmen to act
with them. But should a majority of the votes be
for a convention, then it is to assemble, and not
otherwise; When it assembles, the honor and
destiny of the State, will be in its keeping.
But if the people should voto "no Convention,"
what then? The honor and dignity of the States
will, at .least, not be thereby sacrificed by their
citizens. We shall remain aa we are, under a mili?
tary rum, un td there isa reaction at the North.
It has already eommenced in Connecticut, and will,
sooner or later, sweep over the whole Northwest?
ern and Middle States. ' Then we shad be restored
to our rights in the Union, with honor unsullied
and the right of suffrage unchanged. Let us await
th?Democxatio -triumph, be -it a"hundred years,
rattmrihan ee?k-new associations with oar Black
Republican tyrants and oppressors, and be guilty
of the baseness.'of. abandoning our friends at the
North, who have nobly defended our cause for two
years past, and sacrificed themselves in the strug?
gle for Southern rights and constitutional free
If we are unwilling to bear the ills to which we
are subjected, for the maintenance of honor and
principle, then we deserve our destiny. It is said
that, if- we do not accept the degrading terms now
ofiaredj' wors? will be imposed 1 Have we any as?
surance that worse may not be imposed, if we do
accept ? Like the woman who consented to her
own dishonor to save the lifo of her husband, and
was then made to witness his exocution 1 There is
no faith in tyrants. Threats of confiscation are
futile. Almost every ono has been pardoned, by
taking the amnesty oath or by special application.
The Southern people may be robbed and murder?
ed; but their properly cannot be confiscated.
In order to debauch prominent Southern men,
offers have been made m Congress to remove then*
disabilities, and it would seem, not without suc?
cess I. Threats to tl ie many, and bribes to a few,
.is the pohcy adopt ed for radicalizing the Southern
States.' * with universal negro sufirage and
debauched politicians, we may bid farewell to all
hope of republican institutions. Yirtuo and in?
telligence alone can sustain a republic. When the
negro has acquired intelligence to understand his
political rights, and prop Tty to make him feel an
interest in the proper exercise of them, he should
be allowed to vote. This principle has been adopt?
ed in most of the Northern States, and is wiso and
just. B "t it is wicked to put ballots'into thc hands
of those who w?i be the passive tools of their em?
ployers, or the mischievous agents of Black Re?
publican emissaries.
Not bin * can be more unjust and iniquitous than
the discriminating disfranchisement of the Mili?
tary Bul. a AUnion man, whose lifo has beeu spent
in trying to maintain the interests of the Union,
but who-was a member of the Legislature ora
Judge ten or twenty yoars ago,. and who, after his
State seceded, fed or clothed a son in the Confed?
erate army, is disfranchised ! Butthe man whose
whole life may have been spent irr treasonable ef?
forts to destroy the Union and involve tho country
in a bloody civil war, who was a leading member
of the Secession Convention, and afterwards a dis?
tinguished Gerieralin the Confederate army, hurl-:
ing his'commited against the,United States forces
in a hundred bloody fields of battl?, is not dis?
franchised, unless" he had previously, takou au
oath to suOTiort: the Constitution of* tho United
States ?. There aro many instances of this charac?
ter which might be mentioned; snowing the injus?
tice and folly of this disfranchisement". It is be?
hoved that neither Gonerals Beauregard, Hill,
Magruder, nor General Lee himself, tho illustri?
ous commander-m-chiof of the Confederate forces,
is disfranchised. But the humble Union magis?
trate, who relieved the distresses of a sou or
friend in the Confederate army, is disfranchised?
There is not the remotest hope or probability of
the Southern States being restored to tho Union
till after the next Presidential election. Why
then, shall wo voluntarily degrade ourselves, au4
five up our dearest political rights for a delusion ?
f dishonor must come, do not embrace it. Ii* wo
are to wear manacles, let them be put on bv our
tyrants, hot by ourselves. If aman threatens to
kisk you, self-respect would forbid your exposing
your person to him and asking him to kick you at
once and be dono with it. We have lived already
two years under military rule,' in groat poverty
and "distress, and havo been cheered all thc time
by the consciousness that we aro not a degraded,
though a conquered, people. Weean continue to
five in the Bame way two years longer, or if need
bo, ten years, and feel a pride in knowing that wc
have^m?intained our honor, and made every effort
possible to preservo oui- freedom and constitu?
tional rights. A man who feels that he has dis?
honored himself is lost, and so it is with a people.
Let us Uve quietly and peaceably, attending dili?
gently to ?ur various vocations in lifo-obeying
patiently the powers that be ; but never thiuk of
voi"Jitarily voting away our rights as a Stato cr
or ?OLorand freedom as men. Let us trust ina
returning sense o?^uatice on the part of our op
pressoir?, which Bootler or Inter must como. Havo
patience, forbearance ami loug Buffering. The
Southern Statos tonghi four long bloody yoars tor
what thoy behoved to bo a sacred right proclaimed
by all the American peoplo in their Declaration of
independence. Can they not now afford to live
four years .'ongor ont of that Union, rather than
.sncrillee theil* honor, their rights as States, and
tho groat republican principles of freedom V
B. F. PERRY.
HIGH CHURCH PSESEYIEEIAKISM.-An Edinburgh
(Scotlaand) corespondent of thoN. Y. Observer
(Presbyterian) writes:
''Tho only ecclesiastical incidents which soem
to bo attracting much attention here at present
aro connected with certain curious movements in
tho Established Church. You are cognizant of a
tendency on tho part of would-bo fashionable
peoplo tb join the Episcopalians. A numbor of
Established Church ministers havo como to be of
opinion that tho only way to chock the current is
to make their services externally as attractive as
those of tho Church of Euglaud. Hence, during
tho last few yoars. wo have had organs introduced
into nianv Prosbvterian Churches-a thing before
unheard bf in Scotand-and Dr. Robert Lee, of
Edinburgh, has gone further, and actually manu?
factured for himself a service book and liturgy. Of
this last act the Church Courts have taken notice,
and last May Dr. Lee was required to lay aside his
book: but the Doctor is extremely clever, and ob?
serving that the act of Assembly only interdicted
thc uso of a printed book, he continued to do as he
dono before-only reading his prayers from a man?
uscript! His Presbytery got word of this 'dodge,'
and the whole matter has been reopened-tho
question now is taking the shapo of how far each
congregation is at liberty to regulate its own form
of worship. Apartfrom that, however, it is being,
quietly discasBed in many circlos, whether it is
not possible to make such changos on tho severely
simplo Presbyterian form-), as to render them rich?
er cud more devotional. We cannot hide from our?
selves the fact that society has changed and that
the long sermons and long prayors and unmusical
singing whioh satisfied om- lathers are not accepta?
ble now-a-d*?ys."
larPOBTAST DECISION.-lu the Memphis Post of
the 1st, we find a verv important decision ren?
dered in tho United Skates District Court in that
city. The case was that of Biddle vs. Pillow, in
which a demurrer to tho plea of defendant was
argued, and the Court sustained the demurrer,
giving defendant until August rules to filo a new
plea. This case is au interesting one, aa it in?
volves the question of the individual responsibili?
ty of Confederate officers for acts done under
military authority during the war. It is an
action brought against General Gideon J. Pil?
low for goods taken by lum while in com?
mand of the Confederate fore CB in Tennessee,
during the war. The defendant's 'plea, filed by
CoL Haynes, sets forth tho facts and circomstaucea
of the war, tho exigencies and necessities of the
case,, and was a plea of 'Confession and avoidance
or justification. 'The court held that the plea was
Dad, and said that the facts of the case and justifi?
cation might be shown under the general issue.
Both counsel in the caso, viz*. CoL McRae for
plain till, and CoL Haynes and Gen. Chalmors for
defendant, expressed their convictions that the
case would go to the Supreme Court of the United
States.
VITALITY CT YANKEES. -A short time ago a Lowell
(Mass.) physician published some statistics, and
d?ductions therefrom, winch attracted much atten?
tion, and were generally commented upon by the j
press, his argument being to the effect that the
native population of NOT England is rapidly dying
oat, and that .the. country is destined to be over?
whelmed with the increasing foreign elements.
Somebody has now gone over this gentleman's
figures, and discovered a radical error which en?
tirely invalidates his theory. Tho statistician
counted as a foreigner, in his list of births any
child whose paients, or one of them, should have
born abroad; while in tb o catalogue of deaths, all
ii ? reckoned Americans who wero n ot themselves
born abroad. Correcting this serious blunder, the j
figures in the case of Boston are as follows: Amer?
ican parentage-births, 1,650; deaths, 1,245; gain,
405. Foreign parentage-births, 3,587; deaths,
2,868; gain, 719. Unknown parentage-births, 38;
deaths, 428; loss, 300. So, instead of a loss of 1,502
to the nativo American population, there really is
a gain of 405-relatively a greater gain than that
ol the foreign born population.

AUGUSTA, April 22..-FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
Business generally dull In all branches of trade.
GOLD-Improved during the week, and Brokers wero
selling at 138 and buying at 186.
SILVEE-Unchanged; selling at 132 and buying at 130.
EXCHANGE-IB Improving; our Bank checks at K pre?
mium; out-door rates % off. Very, little time"Exchange
offering.
COTTON.-Some activity marked the first two days of
the past week, at prices ranging about 25??c. for
Middlings; but on Wednesday and subsequently
throughout the balance of the week, warlike rumors
so depressed trade as to stop all regular business.
The few sales being made then by the necessities of
planters were forced, off for the best price to be obtained,
and, as may be supposed, under sdcu circumstances, at
very low figures-say about 22??o for middling. Asa
general rule the offering stocks are withdrawn, and but
little is to be seen on the floors. Sales of the week sum
up 442 bales. Receipts for th/ some time, 383 bales.
On the 18th we suggested to planters and farmers to
reflect as to whether it was not-better for 'them now,
while they can,' to plant for a.certain supply of corn; and
then so dispose of their crops as to once more have plen?
ty. Full cribs and smokehouse will secure constant and
reliable labor at reasonable wages. Think of lt.

MOBILE, April 19.-(kwro?i-The business bf to-day j
has been almost nominal-sales being made entirely to

Sales of the week were 4400 bales.
MONETABY AND FINANCIAL-Gold opened this week at
237ai38. and dropped to 136al3C Monday, and ruled
steadily at thia figure tip to Thursday, when a reaction in
New York caused an upward movement here, and price3
touched 138, with holders refusing 'any amount at this
figure To-day the market has been excited, in sympa?

There has been but little done in commercial Sterling,

tiating any but strictly Al blfls. We near of no transac?
tions in Francs-rates ranging nominally from $3 85a
3 90.
The transactions on New York direct have been of a
limited character, most of the Exchange being made
through foreign bills. The week opened at >? per cent

New Orleans Market.
NEW ORLEANS, April 18_COTTON.-Tho movement
to-day has been almost entirely suspended by tho dis?
couraging tenor of the Liverpool and New York advices.
At noon the lor ai er market was reported dull and decli?
ning at il;?'d for middling upland, which was followed
by later dispatches announcing increased depression,
and quoting middling uplands at ll&d.; while tho feel?
ing i the hitter was represented as tending toward fur?
ther inactivity, with prices, lower and greater deprecia?
tion impending. Thu im mediate effect of this intelligence
was to bring operations to a standstill, as most buyers with
drew to await kiter instructionfl,while those who continued
to purchase, confined then* attention principally to scatter?
ing lists, mostly intended for thu completion of unexe?
cuted orders. Under these circums. onces, the sales
were trilling, comprising barely 800 bales at irregular
but lower prices, the market closing BO completely un?
settled, that an approximated attempt even at accurate ,
quotations, is entirely out of question. The marked :
irregularity which characterised the movement in 8ter- ;
ling exchange also operated to tho disadvantage of the \
staple. . .

I have always recommended tho Faber Polygrode
Lead Pencils os the only pencils fitted for both ornamen?
tal and mathematical drawing; but, after a thorough
trial of tho American Polygrado Lead Pencils, man?
ufactured by the American Lead Pencil Company, New
York, I lind them superior to any pencil in use, oven to
tho Fuber or thc old English Cumberland Lead Pencil,
being a superior pencil for sketching, ornamental and
mechanical drawing, and all tho ordinary uses of a lead
pencil.
These pencils oro very finely graded and have a very
smooth lead; oven the soltcst pencils hold tho point well;
they are all that can be desired in a pencil. It gives me
great pleasure to be able to assure Americans that they
will no longer bc compelled to depend upon Germany or
any other loreign market for pcno'ls.

EUROPEAN TESTIMONIALS.
Received during ike month cf August, 1806.
LONDON, July 26,1867.
Missus. Cmoxxnnio & Boss-Gents: I have much
pleasure bl enclosing a document signed by the first
composers, musicians and profesa ora bi Europe. I held
your Pianos in such high estimation (vide my certifi?
cate) that I felt it my duty to take one of them with me
to Europe, to ascertain the opinion of my professional
brethren. The enclosed certificate will prove how
unanimous they have been on the subject. I bog to
forwrd, at the same time, a letter I received from my
friend, Mr. Collard, which I am sure must be gratify,
lug to you.
I have the honor to be, gentlemen, yours very truly,

Janet M. Wehli, Esq. :
Mr DEAR SIB: I have great pleasure bi asking you to
convoy to Messrs. Chic bering the expre-aion of my
highest approval of their instrument. It ls, I consider,
not merely the best instrument of American manufac?
ture that I bave tried, bet one of the flaest Grand Piano,
fortes that has over come under my coservation ; and
the Messrs. Ohickering may well be proud of having
turned out from their manufactory on Instrument
which, for touch, quality, power and workmanship, it
would be very difficult to surpass lu any part of the
wide world.
Dear slr, vory sincerely yours,

Having played upon a Piano-forte made by Messrs.
Ohickering ?lt Sons, of Boston and Now York, I have
much pleasure in testifying to its general excellence.
For B wee tn os a and brilliancy of tone, delicacy of
touch and magnificent power for concert purposes, I

SYDNEY SMITH. certs, London.
Among the ohiefpoints of excellence of the Ghlckor
lng Pianos, of which Bpeak the renowned artists in their
congratulatory testimonials to the Messrs. Ohickering,
are the greatest possible depth, richness aud volume ot
tone, combined with A rare brilliancy, clearness and
perfect evenness throughout tho entire scale; and,
above all, a snrprisbig duration of sound, the pure and
sympathetic quality of which never changes under the
most delicate or powerful touch.

known and valuable improvement They have invaria?

THALBERG.
I consider Ohickering ? Sons* Pianos, beyond oom
parisou, the host I have ever se en in America.
GOTTSCHALK.
I con Bider Ohickering A Sous' Pianos superior to an;
in the world.
They are unrivalled for their singing qualities and for
the harmonious roundness of tht'lr "timo. There ia a
perfect homogeneity throughout ail the registers. The
upper notes ara remarkable for a clearness ami p rm tv
which I do not find in any other instrnmout, while the
bue is distinguished for power without harshness, and
for a magnificent sonority.
WKliLl.
Your Pianos are superior to any I have ever seen in
this country or in Europe.
I have never heard a tono no perfect ; it jieldB every
expression that is noodud lu mush:, and its quality is
capable of chango to meet every oentimcnt. This is a
raro power, amt ls derivod from the perfeot purity ol
its tone, together with ita sympathetic, elastic and well
balanced touch.
POZNAKSIii.
During.the paat eight years I have constantly played
upou th-* justly celebrated Krard Pianos; yours aro the
only instruments that I have found, either here or in
Europe, to equal them in all their points of excellence.

FOR THE CURE OF CONSUMPTION, PAINS IN THE I
CHEST AND SLOES, DIFFICULTY I.< BREATH
ING, BRONCHITIS, CATARRH, ASTHMA, COUGHS,
HEMORRHAGE, and all affections of tbo Lunes.
This great jwiviiyer is offered to tl ie public, that all j
who will avail them -el ves of its remedial power may be j
bencfittcd.
It only requires a fair trial to confirm its invaluable
agency in diffusing through each cbannel of the human
organization a restored vitality. It invigorates and em*
bues the Lungs with healthful elasticity; restores warmth,
which is their essential element; rouses the sluggish ves?
sels into activity; heals the affected lobes ^purifies and
enriches the blood; regulates the circulation; induces
free and easy respiration, and expels, through its admin?
istration, each and every concomitant disorder present in
the malady recognized as Consumption, and hitherto
deemed hopeless and incurable.
This compound is perfectly safe, possessing neither
narcotic nor emetic properties, which unfortunately axe
always e.uployed as essentials in every preparation- for
Cough or Lung affection-a mistake which too of ion in
its irritating and debilitating consequences, only con?
duces to much general derangement of the system, de?
stroying appetite and creating an injurions nervous ex?
citement, augmenting BufferiDg with frequent fatal re?
sults.
Under the influence of this approved and invaluable
Specific the most distressing Cough yields, difficulty in
breathing and pains and soreness subside, hemorrhage
is arrested, and health and strength re-established.

I have been.for a year or more past in the habitai
taking the water of the "Excelsior" Spring of Saratoga.
Accustomed daring the great portion of my invalid Ufa
to use the different waters of the several fountains which
bod np along that remarkable valley, dependent, indeed,
upon them lor much of the comfort I enjoy, I sin satis?
fied that the Excelsior Water isas well adapted as any
other among them, if not more eo, to the purposes for
which they are generally employed. It is very agreeable,
strongly impregnated with the carbonic acid, lively and -
sparkling. * * * I can heartily and conscientiously
recommend it to all who need a gentle cathartic and
