EVENING STAR. Ws BD. WALLACH, Editor and Proprietor. WASHINGTON CITY: WEDNESDAY............ APRIL 11, 1866. S7 READING MATTER ON EVERY PAGE. BEE OUTSIDE GRAPHIC AND OTHER MATTER. FBEEDMEN'S SFr AiR IN NORTH CaBo- The Chief Surgeon of the Freedmen’s Burean in tbe State of North Carolina, in answer to the question, im case the Freedmen’s Burean ‘were withdrawn, whether the inhabitants were | prepared to do for the freed people what the bureau was now doing, answers that he had sought the co-operation of the civil authorities of almost every town in the State, in taking care of sick and helpless freedmen, He says there bas been very little of actual help ob- tained from them; the most, as general ruie, bas been a certain passive friendship. There have been one or two exceptions to this rule. The people, generally, say they are too poor to take care of Log? A but themselves, and that the burean is here for the purpose of caring for the colored people. He does not think the people of the State are yet ready to do all that might be needed, if the bureau were withdrawn. TO BE MUSTERED OUT. ‘The War Department has ordered the mus- ter out, on account of their services being no longer needed, of the following-named officers: On the 9th instant, Major Emmons E. Gray A.D ©., and Capt. Lewis Weitzel, A. D. C.; on | the 15th inst., Paymaster Richard H. Whiting; on the 30th inst , P2ymasters Lather T. Thustin | (brevet lieutenant colonel,) John A. 3S. Mor- rell, Jesse C. Dicxey, Jeremiah Fenno, En- gene A. Osborne, E.S. Bailey, Thos P. Havi- Ispd. Mark Hollingshead, Wm. R. Snyderand Franklin Ames. APPOINTMENTS. Brevet Major General J. B. Kiddoe has been appointed Assistant Commissioner of the Freedmen’s Burean for the State of Texas, to relieve Brigadier General E. M. Gregory, who is ordered to report to Major General O. O. Howard. Brevet Brigadier General George J. Stan- | nard has also been appointed Superintendent of Freedmen’s Affairs in the State ot Mary- land. LEAVE OF ABSENCE. The Secretary of War has granted leaye of absence for six months to General Alfred Pleasanton, U.S. A. Tue ITALtay Orena.—The Ghioni and Su- sini Opera Company gave us the Barber in fine style last night, and those who were not there missed atreat. Madame Strakosch’s Rosina resembles much that of her illustrious sister, Adelina, who is now considered the prima donna of the age. Im London, Paris, Berlin, Vienna and Milan noseascn is considered com- plete until Adelina has appeared at least once. «Una Voce,” with its beautiful cadenzas and staccatos, as well as “Kathleen Mayoureen,” in the singing lesson, were finely rendered by her, and rapturously applanded, as alao “With. in a Mile of Edinboro,” which was given as an encore. There are few Rosinas equal that of Madame Strakosch. Mancusi’s « Figaro” and Susini’s “Don Bartolo” were both superior performances. Errani,as “Count Almaviva,” seemed to be less effective on account of hoarse- ness. He is, however, a fine actor. Marra’s « Don Basilio” was very comical, although his voice lays rather high for this role, in which we canuot forget Carl Formes in his balmy days. Chorus and Orchestra were very good. The uniform of the soldiers was, however, out of place—tbat of the 14th Brooklyn regiment being substituted for that of Spanish soldiers 200 years ago. Verdi's Traviata is to be given to-night, with Gbioni, Errani and Mancusi in the priscipal roles FiNaNnctaL.—The New York stock market is Weak. The apprehensions of cholera are sad. Gied with the chief responsibility for the change in tone. The Commercial Advertiser says Governments are quiet. Five-twenties are depressed under a report of the return of bonds from Lendon, and an 2 that the threatening complications between A ustriaand Prussia may force b a considerable amount. Five-twenties are ¥ lower; Ten- forties de- clined % im sympath: ixes of 18=1, '; lower. Private advices from London quote Five twen- ties 69% a7, at latest dates. This, at the pres- ent premium on gold, leaves a wide margin for profit on their shipmentto this side. Com- pound notes are in active demand. Money is in moderate demand from the street. The pri- vate bonkers are well supplied with funds, and lend on call at a6 per cent.; with the banks the rate is generally 6 per cent. Discounts are fairly active. Prime names are current at 7a 7% Per cent; with exceptions ofextra choice at Gay Der cent.: “good” at S49 per cent, other graces at lvals per cent. Gold is unsettled, but upon the whole firmer. Rah sebagercnn of the return of Five twenty bonds has strength- ened the premium. The short interest appears to be quite moderate, and gold is offered on Joan at 1-16 per cent. per day, very freely, 1-32 being bid. It was quoted at 126 at noon yester- day. —$—$——$____.

We publish to-day some proceedings of the Board of Health, in relation to contemplated sanilary measures for this city, which are of More than ordinary interest at this time, in view of the reported arrival of the cholera at Halifax. There is no occasion for immediate and unnecessary alarm, because it is not cer- tain that the disease on board the steamer England is Asiatic cholera, as she sailed from Liverpool, where we have no reports of the prevalence of the epidemic since last sum- mer. But while we see no occasion for a panic, the necessity of adopting all the pre- cautionary measures that experience has demonstrated to be useful, is now rendered clearly apparent, and we hope no pains will be spared to keep the streets and dwell- ings of our city clean, to abate nuisances, and to enforce the most rigid quarantine regulations that are authorized by law. Oternliness, temperance, and pure air, are almost certain barriers against choler: ad if al! weuld live in accordance with these sim- ple sanitary regulations, there would be no enuse for apprehension. Every house that is not already up to the proper standard of clean- liness, particularly tenement houses, should now be thoroughly purified; ample ventilation should be secured; yards, areas and alley-ways should’be cleaned; and no kind of animal or yegetible refuse suould be deposited about a bouse, where it will be allowed to decompose. In this connection we have to suggest that basements may be thoroughly ventilated by a hoi in the bottom of chimney flues, (those where fires are kept up are best,) and that drains, cess-pools, and closets may also be ventilated by connecting them with any chim- ney by an earthen or iron pipe three or four inehes in diameter. SS So THR TEMEEEARCE MOVEMENT IN CON- In the Senate, this afternoon, Mr. Wilson in- troduced a resolution to prohibit the sale of spuituons liquors in the Capitol building, say- tug that during the last few years employes of the Capitol bad been taxed to keep members of Congress in whisky. Mr. Clark speke of dis- graceful scenes about the building lately, and said he had known little boys employed as pages to be sent home drunk. Mr. MeDougall snnaunced himself “in favor of wine, whisky and war.” The resolution was passed, Messrs McDougall and Davis only voting against it. FREEDMEN GOING SOUTH. There are at present in the city quite a nnm- ber of planters and nis, for the purpose of hiring Ireeamen to labor on plantations in Tenne Mississippi, and other Southern Stttes, among them J.J. Walker, of the latter te, Who wishes to hire two hundred and dup to Saturday night had engaged bearly two hundred; and Mrs. Grifting, of the former State, who will engage quite a number. Itis estimated that about four hundred aud fitty were hired last week by these and other parties, and Jeft for their new plac-s of abode. —_———______ BUSH FOR WESTERN LAND. A wonderiul rush for land for actual settle. mentis now taking place. Reports received at the General Lans Office show that over i0,7.0acres were entered atthe District Land Office of Booneville, Mo., the greater portion for homestead actnal settlement, a part cash sales, amounting to $10,462, and the residue bounty land locations. At La Crosse office, Wisconsin, 7,436 acres were taken up, and at Topeka, Kansas, 5,000 acres were taken up, making in 41 65,162 acres. —— THE PATENT OFFICE. Hon. T. C. Theaker, Commissioner of Pat- ents, bas invited individuals throughout the country to send to the Patent Office busts of authors and inventors, and of all men who were celebrated for mechanical skill or inge- nuity. The busts to be of plaster, metal, stone, bronze or otherwise. To all such busts the Commissioner can assign very appropriateand conspicuous positions on the top and frout end of each case containing modeis. Places as shove described can be found for about two hundred busts. DECISION ON EXPLOSIVE FLUIDs. Secretary McCulloch has iustructed officers of customs, supervising and local inspectors of steamboats, that crude petroleum, naphtha, ne and benzole should be classed among ‘explosive burning finids” referred to in tbe 7th and Sth sections of the steamboat act of August 30, I-52. And that on and afterthe first of Msy no vessel propelled wholly or in part by steam, and carrying passengers, will be permitted to carry either of the above-named articles withent having procured a special license therefor. PARDONS GBANTED TO-DAY. Warrants for pardon were issued from the Attorney General's Office to-day, by direction of the President, for forty individuals, the ma. jority of whom are residents of Georgia, Lonis- jana and Texas. A few were pardoned under the first exception, but the majority of them were under the twenty thousand-dollar clause. MURDERER ESCAPED.

U. S. Grant, arrested for fast driving, as settled by the General paying the tine. We are informed that when the poli man went to Army Head Quarters and laid his warrant on the table before the Gseneral, that officer looked at it, and turning to the ser- vant of the law, remarked, «I suppose you take a pride in this?’ The officer said :—“No, General, I only do it because it is my duty.” The General pleasantly intimated that under martial law the tables might be turned, and the server of the warrant sent to the gaard-honse, The officer replied that the General might do as he pleased, but he had performed his duty, adding. +1 also did my duty under yon, Gen- ral, at Vicksburg, and you did not find fault with me then.” The General immediately acknowledged the service of the warrant, Appeared before Justice Walter, and paid the tine. The General would, no doubt, be pleased to have some place other than a public race course where he might exercise his horses, and so would many other gentlemen here, who, like him, suppose they violate no law by fast driving in the thinly-settled suburbs of the city. ee ee Tue District FeNIaNs.—We learn that within the past few weeks Fenianism in this District has been on the increase, and that Dis- trict Centre Oulahan has in his District, which embraces the District of Columbia and Alexan- dria county, nine circles ot the brotherhood and two of the sisterhood, one of them hav ing shy organized on Monday night on English mm Great activity is now prevailing in the cir- cles, and besides arms (of which about 7,000 haye been forwarded) and money for bonds contributed; almost daily some of the young and robust leave for “the front.” The are agen seem to look for news shortly, but do not expect, Teported, Head Centre Stephens to come to Sramingeent asitis stated py the initiated that when be reaches New York he will remain there but a day or two. . ———.——— THe TEMPERANCE MOvEMENT.— Within the past six or eight months the various temper- i to have been prosper- especially the Sons of number was 1,555, including about 630 ——- Seciaonshorn ~ —s ae do- gv well, muc! threngh their ‘efforts, asalso through the ef. forts of the Catholic Total Abstinence Society, which now numbers about 200 members, ——e-—— OnrHans’ Court, Judge Purcell. —Y.
