PURIM. | THE GRAND MASQUERADE OF ISRAEL | Splendid Display.at the Academy of Music, Ree — Solomon was a wise man, and great was King Polomon. In the book Keclesiastes, chapter tii., he bas left to the world the following sagacious observa- Bons :— All things have their season; and in their times all ke, he. obi: under Heaven. * © (There is) atime ko weop and a Mie to laugh; time to mourn and a time Reflecting on these remarkable passages, we deduce ‘the pleasant consolation that balls are not, after all, “an @bomiaation of Satan,” as some unco pious parsons -elaim; but, on the contrary, @ legitimate species of ‘ecreation sanctioned by the Holy Bible. Erg», asthe ogicians would say, deducimus imprimis that the super- Pious extremists who hold differently have only their ‘Own unsustained private opiutons as a guide, in opposl- tion to the plain teachings of Holy Writ. The ‘people of New York are evidently advocates of a Uteral construction of the Sacred writings. They go in €or the ball, and “go it with a vengeance.” During the winter just past, and the spring just begun, there have beon more balls—and of the most select and respectable character—than have ever taken place in this city before within the recollection of our oldest sportive inhabitants. Tho Firemen’s ball; «the Arion ball, the Liederkranz ball and the magnificent “Charity ball, succeeded each other in rapid and brilliant succession, and last night the season was very “handsomely brought to a close by the splendid masquer- vade of Purim. In beauty and variety of costume; in ad- «mirable management, and in respectability of attendance, t¢he last was almost equal to the best of those previously venumerated. We write almost, because it would not ‘be stating the fact to assert that any of the other balls vmentioned came up to the standard of the grand display ewitnessed at the Academy of Music on the evening set ‘apart for the benefit of the Nursery and Child’s Hospital. ‘That was the most select and brilliant affair of the kind ‘ever gotten up in the metropolis, in the humble opinion of tho writer, But, leaving the Charity ball out of the question, that of the Purim association last night was fully equal 0 any of the othera. HISTORY OF PURIM. Purim ie essentially Israelitish. It is B ga dd a Sj, Jewish institution. Young Isracl and old Israel and all Isracl delizht in it; and good reason they have for doing so, as will be seen further on. ‘The origin of the Purim festival isto be found in the book of Esther, and may be sketched in a brief form as foilows:—In the days of Abasuerus, or Artaxerxes, who reigned over one hundred and twenty-seven vinces, from India to Ethiopia, there lived a wily edonian tamed Haman, who stood next to the king In power and lory and found great favor in the royal presence. All bent Toler. Haman, exc:pt a stubborn old son of Israel, mamod Mordecai, who considered such respect should only be paid to the fear oon Haman ‘‘was exceedingly angry” when he heard of thia, and resolved to destroy tho entire nation of Jews that were in the kingdom of Ahasuerus, in revenge for the slight cast upon pin Mordecai.’ Artaxerxes was casily persuaded by hi @avorite to sanction the slanghter, Spray it was re- presented to him that the Jews despised his ordinances @nd observed laws and ceremonies pized by the Medes and Persians. In carry- ‘tng out his intentions, Haman resorted to a diabol- fecal species of draft, which consisted in cast- dots into an urn to decide as to what day and iat month the massacre should take place, The thir- ‘kconth day of the twelfth month came out of the urn, and orders were accordingly sent to every part of the ‘Xingdom to ‘destroy all the poner ioc young and ott Ultle children and women,” on day. It haj hat er, the queen of Artaxerxes, was of the Jowish nation, and that Mordecai was her unclo; but the king war —— of both facts, and therefore gave himself no trouble on ths subject. But net so Esther and Morde- ai, The latter put on sackcloth and strewed his head with ashes, and weut crying through the streets of the ity of Shushan, ‘showing the anguish of his mind.” pray Rhea took Migr oven iyewagd Casting aside her ro: , she put on garments of mourn- ine, “covered her head’ with ashes and dung,”’ “humbled or body with fasts, and all the places in which befora ho was accustoi to rejoie she filled with her torn ‘bair.”” “All Isra*l very naturally was in despair, seeing {ts almost ee hilation in In_ those days to approach thed{ing unbidden was punishable by unless his Pa deigned to hold out the golden ccptre in token of clemency. ag Esther knew ‘this, but resolved to pasos every ‘ing for ber people. At the en: of three days, according to the Scriptures, vgiittering in Cir robes, she went before the King, ‘who sat upon throne in all of ect over . inst the door of the house.”” And when the King saw er “she pleased his eyes, and he held out toward ‘her the golden sceptre, which he held in his hand: and ahe drow near and kissed the top of his sceptre.”” To avoid too many Scriptural quotations, it is sufficient +toadd that Esther, after some skitful feminine mancen- ‘wring, got the better of Haman, who was hanged ona fifty cubits high, which had been intended as the «teaffold of Mordecai. Thus virtue triumphed and vice met ita deserta, Furthor, the King ordained that all the enemies of the Jews should be put to death on the same » @ay that Haman appointed ior the slaughter of tho Israel- rvites, The royal mandate was stricily carried out, and the number of those slain in fetaliation for Haman’s wickedness amounted to seventy-five thon- gaud, The noxt day—the 14th of the month Ador—the Jews left oif the slaughter and en- lendid holiday, with feasting, joy and wfoyed ei m that time to the present the Mth of the month Adar, corresponding to the 1éth of March, has oen observed asa grand holiday by the people of israel in commemoration of their deliv rance by Q een Esther. The day ia given to Joy and social festivities. Presents @ro exchan-ed among frends, surprise parties tak» place, old a ances Visit each other, the scattered branches of families coms tocether, and the occasion in many re- spects is kept up much in the same spirit as New Year's day. One of the most laudable features of the celebra- tion consisis in the distrib tion of alms to such members of the faith as may stand in need of assistance. Only @bout four years ago, however, was the idea of having @ » grand masquerade ball in honor of the festival put into Practical shap’ by a few enterprising young men. From all this it will be seen that re, of =criptural origin, and this is our apology for oting so copiously irom the sacred writings, both in pport of the propriety of balls and also in relation to the history of Purm. It will be noticed also that the ‘Modern representatives of the house of Israel have vastly improved upon the manners of their ancestors. Instead of slaughtering thousands, as they did in the time of Esther, they extend a helping band to thoso in distress and cultivate the heavenly virtue of charity. Instead of dancing with savage joy over the blood of their foes, they content themselves with masquerad ng, ‘and become worshippers of the divine Terpsichore. The change strikingly illustrates the progress of mod:ro ~ Civilization. But let us return to the ball) The Academy was erowded, and the dresses and decorations were all that could be expected on the occasion. We will first glance at the decorations. THE DECORATIONS, Maximilian was the artist—not he of Mexico, but he of Gotham. The parquet, balcony, tlers and tage were most appropriately ornamented, but much im the same etyle as at the Arion and Liederkranz balls, There wei ~ fome novelties, however, that deserve mention. On the front of the proscenium a neat allegorical representation of commerce, with the national colors arranged in grace- ful folds, was to be seen. From the dome bung sus- ended a fantastic military tent, resting ona vase of jowers. The balcony and ters were crowded with comic cernival scenes, painted in oil colors on piec 8 of canvass, Many capital politival hits were thus conveyed to the Spectator, Let us give a few samples. In one place you Baw an f!lustration of the Monroe doctrine in the person of Maximil «n running off from Mexico with his Venetian um- brelia and the parrot he brought with him from Austria, In nother place you saw a picture of Old Abe reconnolt- - ering Richmond through a epygiass, and contemplating Jeff. Davis sanding in an cinpty glass, disconsolate and mourning the loss of his “bittom.’’ In anothor place you beheld the novel exhibition of the “Pulka Grenvilles,” or frog dance. In another you saw repro- sented the efficiency of police in arresting Ly op ont | + guilly of amall offences, while big criminals are suffe to run away. In_another you behold John Bull seeing the elephant in Paris, and, in another, a free fight in Dublin, On the sides of the stage were two copies of the order of dancing, ainted on Immense pieces of can- and surroun with a variety of monkeys a ‘ crocodiles, * The number of comic representations was too numerous to admit of special notice in every in- ‘stance, The above will suflice for our purpose. THE PURIM GAZETTE. This was only one part of the comicality. Contem- pues the crowd, Nee found there so many thin; adinite and laugh at that it was hard to deci which was best. The Purim Gazette came in for ® share of cncomium. The Gazette was a sprightly little Barer, for the occasion, containing jokes on subject jewish puns and Wel effusions. As a feorkea we my extract the {¢ ‘ing lively versification of the Pu- iw story :— Esther was a pretty maiden, As all maids named Esther be; Hycs like jot and hair of raven, ‘But no water full wore she, Hlaman was a wretched villain And his heart was full of guile; ‘Whiskey drank he by the galon, ‘Till his liver turned to bile, ‘The King he was a jolly fellow, And he loved wine, women, song; But his skin, it was 8 yellow, And bis name was very long. ‘Haman to the King satd on Lot as hang up all the Jews And I wish you'd do ft Monday, For then the clothes lines we could use, £ ‘and when Esther heard that Haman ‘Asked this favor from the King, Abo said, “you ugly old highwayman, #or your spite I'l make you ening,” ¢ ball is, in a mens. *| NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 15, 1865. * Now whon the King raw Ifttle Esther wens on a barren rock, approached Ler and addressed her, ‘And he asked her what's o'clock," then, Esther up and told him 1 about that wicked man, Till bs foclings quite controliea him, When she did unfold her plan.

It is hard to describe were hike behind the provoking just enough was visible to create the ces Any one of those sweet forms could doubtless match with that of Esther herself, all ber famoas beauty and boxes alone ome saw loveli- ess u! and the display there was certainly very brilliant. We doubt if New York could send out a more formidable array of female beauty. Israel has no cause to blush for her daughters ‘on the score of personal at- tractions. The dresses were as varied almost as the minds and tastes of men and women, and that is a good deal for them. icone P had could thi of was repre- sented, from a wn to a boot black and Belse- bub. ‘The Yankee, the Irishman, the Grand Turk, the Chinese, the Russian, the Johnny Bull, the Johnny Cra- pau, the Sambo, the duke, the duchess, the queen, the Prince, the Spanish grandee, the sailor and the soldior, mingled together in picturesque harmony and amicabil- ity. It is surprising what a killer of ceromony a mask 4s. Everybody talked and saluted, and bowed in the most friendly manner to each other. Everybody joked. Everybody was sure everybody else was sombody else, and, asa eral rule, ever ly was mistaken. It would be useless to dwell much longer on the sub- Ject.

The United States steamer Union, Acting Volunteer Lieutenant Commander Edward Conroy commanding, arrived at this port yesterday from the East blockading squadron by way of Fortress Monroe. The Union loft this port on the 2d of February, with two hundred and fifty men for the South Atlantic squadron and fifteen officers for the East Gulf. She reports all well. She brings home five officers and ninety sick and discharged men. The following is a list of the officers of the Union :— OUR KEY WEST CORRESPONDENCE. Ker Wuzr, Fla., March 8, 1865: The Attack on Fort Meyers—Cap'ure of the Pickets—The ‘Margaret Ker Stilt Ashore, de. T have just received some important information re- specting the attack on Fort Meyers, up the Florida coast. In consequence of the scarcity of forage the mounted pickets that were usually posted three miles from the fort were posted on foot one-half that distance. The Consequence waz that the rebels, who must have good information of the state of alfairs, actually captured the pickets on the morning of tho 20th ult,, and the first intimation of the affair was the appearance of the rebel force before the fort, and a demand, under a flag of truce, to surronder in twenty minutes, This demand was signed by Major Footman, of the rebel service. Captain James Doyle, in command of Fort Meyers, by- the-by, did not send to tell the rebel oMfcer that he would see him damned first, but he sent Captain Bartholf, of the Second United States colored regiment, to inform the Major that he (Captain Doyle) thought he could hold the fort, and therofore he deciined surrendering it. Captain Bartholf describes Major Footman’s conduct as being per- fectly courteovs and gentlemanly. Ten minutes after Captain Bartholf’s return from the front fire was opened by the rebols from two twelve- pounders, most of which fell short, though some of the shells burst In the fort, severely injuring some women and children. The fort itself only mounted two een six-pounders, which were well served by Captain Dewey. The cannonade was kept up during the whole afternoon, during which a line of skirmishers was thrown out, and fn the meantime the steamer Alliance was sent to Key West with the news, as mentioned in a previous letter. In addition to the capture of the pickets, about a dozen men who were out of the json, engaged in haunting, washing, taking care of cattle, &c.,'wore captured. One man—Henry candera, of Company I, United States color- od rogiment—was killed. The enemy made their appearance before the fort in evident expectation of finding a reduced garrison, which they would have found had they arrived only two days earlier. The fact is just this: the fort was surprised, and nothing but the bull-dog courage of Cap- tain Doyle and his command saved Fort Meyers from capture, Captain Bartholf may consider himself a lucky man. A womaa saw a man attempt to pick him off from behind a tree three times; but he escaped. ‘The United States steamer Cherokee arrived here from Havana this ate: 2 The Captain of the British ship Margaret Ker, of Greenock, has arrived here with most of his crew.

General pton__admin- faters @ wholesome lesson to the ruiflan Sherman upon this matter. Sherman has been eneou! long impunity, while he traversed the un; coun- ties of la and South Carolina, not only Hlaging, but burning and destroying houses and ing help- lam propia af hia pioeture, He seems to have almost reached the conclusion—and not quite without some show of reason—that our government had abandoned all claim to the rights of belligerents, and all ees un- der the laws of war, and had accepted for itself and for us the position of criminals evading and postponing as long as possible the day of lawful retribution for our crimes, but no more presuming to exer. cire retaliation than a band of skulking outlaws would pretend to retaliate, as baron, roe upon ot ot | the sheriff and the powe jus. Goneral Hampton has put an end to this delusion; and when Sherman writes to him, with his usual affectation of superiority, that he understands twenty-seven of his “for ‘have been “murdered,” and that be has or- dered a similar number of Prisoners in his hands ‘to be disposed of in like manner,’ Hampton sternly replies by reminding him that there is such a thing as the law of war—that he (Sherman) and the troops under his com. mand, have habitually violated that law by “fring dwellings of those citizens whom they have robbed that accordingly he (General Hampton) has ordered his men to shoot down any marauders found so employed as if they were wild beasts; and that In the meantime he holds fifty-six of Sher- man’s men as hostages for those whom§Sberman had ordered to be executed. Sherman’s lettcr to Hat ts dated beghag 2, and the revly, on the 27th. eral Sherman at that time said, ‘I hold about a thousand jsoners, oaptured in various ways, and can stand It as long as you.”’ The privoners captured in various ways of course include such non-combatant Confederates as he has thought r to arrest; and he thus signifies his intention to “murder” those peaceful citizens dragged from their own hearths, in ret ion for the execution of his thievish ‘1 re’ caught burning houses. Thus he boarts that e can stand it as long as the other. Since the dato of the letters, indeed, our forces have captured about two thousand federal soldiors in fair fight; but probably General Sherman means to make the balance oven by picking up a nam- ber of old mon, or even women, and making them answer Hampton’s murders ‘to the extont of life for life.’ There would be nothing new in this; for the Yankeo Wyld in North Carolina hud the brutality to ar- rest ladies and put them in trons, and notify General Pickett that he would retaliate upon them whatever should be inflicted u; Confederate deserters whom he chose to call his ei 1 soldiers. This is a most re- volting and horrible kind of contest to enter upon; but if General Sherman chooses to provoke it, there is no possibility of evading it with nafety, and General Hamptom, at Irast, is apparently not the man to evade it, He seems tobe aware that even for the sake of humanity he must go through with the repulsive and hideous task; and that the real barbarian ie he who makes a pretext of humanity to avoid that duty, and so leaves his own soldiers and bis own fellow citizens to be executed as felons with impunity. There is reason also to believe that other command! officers pond Confederate we ina bap of the ol em of enduring every outrage to their men “ ake of humantte;" nd that we are about to sion, it a long as you," indicates precisely the whole philosophy of the thoory and of retaliation.

Address WEEKLY HERALD, corner of Fulton and Nassau streots, New York city. Mining on Pacific Coast. Rew Yonx, Maceh 18, 1868, To mx Eprror or raz New Youx Hunaup:— ‘The subject of gold and sliver mining on the Pacifie coast as treated in the editorial columns of the New York Times of this morning, 1s calculated to give some esoneous and ex- ‘Agerated impressions as to the method and: extent of the business of extracting gold and silver from the ores of that - country—as for instance, upon the authority of the distin- guished Prof. Silliman, the article states that eighteen mil- Mons ($18,000,000) of dollars had been extracted from the Gould & Curry mine up to June, 1864, from ores that should have produced thirty-six millions ($96,000,000) of dollars. ‘The truth is that up to the date above stated not to exceed ine millions ($9,000,000) of dollars had ever been extracted from ores taken from the Gould & Curry mine. ‘The following statement shows the sield of that mine up to the lst of December, 1864, six months later than the date given. The exact figures for 1860 and 1861 are not at hand; nearly all the ores taken out were shipped to San Frauciseo at heavy cost, as there was no machinery in Nevada at that time to work for silver, The total yield from that source those two. aid not exceed. $250,000 00 cy from tans of ore was extracted. 881,190 68 To 1868 from yoo prope gasp canner . In 1866 from tons of ore was extracte 4,808,000 51 ‘Total yield to December 1, 1864, about,.........99,060,107 60 Showing your statement of the yield to be too large by half. iio Now as to what the above ores ought to have yielded 1s & matter that neither Professor Silltman, or any other profes- sor or person could form any intelligent opinion, unless in- timately acquainted with the character and value of the ores As they were taken from the mine from day to day during the four years the mine bas been worked. The low grades of ores that were worked aj Custom Mills generally yielded from aizty to sixty-five per cent of the metal the ores con- tained. These mills had no conveniences for saving the “tailings,” consequently what remained in the ore was lost; tm fact, the “tailings” from that class of ore would not pay to rework until the general expepscs of doing business In that country be greatly diminished. ‘The better class of ores which were worked at the com pany'sown works wore generally more dificult, being so combined with the baser that held the procious metals with such tenacity, much greater care had to be used In handling them; but never a pound of the “tailings” were allowed to escape, and a considerable per centage of the present yield of the Coinpany's works is from the re-working of those “tal. 11 the ores In Nevada are necessarially worked at great dis- advantage (greater Formaerty than now), owing to tle Inac- bie, positon of the mines on the dastetn slope of the errs Nevada thountalna, The coat of portation of ma chinery and being 20 great, and tp want of experience of the manipulators, The stockholders to realize large profite in ‘th contributed largely to the wastage | ome extent t impatience of stock market has of ores in that countr; forcing the working of their mines and ores in a most unw: ntable manner in order to pay large dividends, aud there. 7 pp the stock. ‘As tot ricans ignoring science in the workin; of ores, the very contrary (s the fect.
