The genius of the pruna douna appeared to exercise a magnetic in- uence over the company as well as the audience, and therefore the performance of “Martha” was eminently satisfactory. ae and Jamet gave the duet, “Solo Profugo,” in first act unusual ex- pression and effect, and the former brought down the house by his exquisite rendering of ‘‘M’ Appar.” ‘The rollicking, drinking song of Plunkett was hn with Inimitable drollery by Jamet, who nas pro himself this season aD artist of real merit.

THE SWAMP OUTLAWS. Additional Rumors of the Death of ; om Berry Lowery. STATEMENT FROM WILMINGTON, N, C. Either Murdered by His Brother or Drowned. ANXIETY OF THE NORTH CAROLINIANS; Wirasinaton, N.C, March 6, 1872, Reports of the death of Heury Berry Lowery, the chief of the Robeson county banditti, were preva- lent here on Sunday, bus it is pot known whether they are unfounded, One report had it that he was assassinated by his brother during an altercation, or immediately after @quarrel, Another rumor had leaked out to the effect that he was drowned while fishing in the Lumoer River, ‘The greatest interest 1s manifested in everything said or done in reference to these “swamp out- laws,” and consequently the rumors nave'created considerable excitement and no little discussion. ‘The general opinion here 1s that Lowery has either been kilied, or that the rumors have been started with a view to throw sand in the eyes of the authori- tes, as it is well understood the Governor has be- come so far interested as to sanction an organiza- ton of the militia to secure the band dead or alive. THE GALE IN THE SOUTH. A Fearful Hurricane—Blinding Snow Storm and Wind at a Speed of Seventy-eight Miles an Hour—Disasters at Norfolk and Portsmouth. FORTRESS MONROE, Va., March 4, 1872, One of the most severe storms that has. occurrea here in fifteen years set in on Saturday morning shortly berore daylight. The weather nad been very mild and pleasant the day previous, and there were no indications of asevere storm approaching—not even a storm-signal warning irom the Signal Sere vice Office. The wind had been fresh from the eastward during the day, but about two A, M. hauled in north-northeast, and at four A.M. we had a gale and a snow storm, such as ts only expe- rienced in the mountatos of the Far West. Atnine orclock THE SNOW WAS BLINDING and the wind had reached a velocity of sixty miles an hour. It continued to increase Ull noon, when it had reached @ speed of seventy-eigut miles an hour, which was tne maximum. This kept up with unabated fury until about four P. M., when it gradually moderated, and shortly after dark the Wind hauled in north-nortnwest and the sky cleared off. At about two P. M. the tide was ut its height and was said to be higher than for twentv-five years, It carried away considerable lumber, wood, &c., which had been pilea up tor shipment at what ‘was considered a safe distance, and in the morning the Roads were filled with this driftwood and dépris. THE SEA FLOWING INTO NORFOLK. In Norfolk business was almost entirely sus- pended, except the fire Department, which was kept quite busy, both in that city and Portsmouth. ‘This was caused by the tide overflowing the wharis and getting into several limehouses. Santas & Brother's was the first to go, the water slacktag the lime and setting the bulding on fire, But litte assistance could be rendered by the firemen, a8 throwing Water on the building only added fuel to the flames. They succeeded, however, in confining it to the building in which 1¢ originated, which was entirely consumed, The loss is about eight hundred dollars. Another Limehouse, pelonging to D. D. Simmons & Brothers, took fire about tnree P. M. and was burned to the ground. Their logs is about six hundred dollars. IN PORTSMOUTH two Imehouses, one belonging to A. W. & J. Neely & Co. and the other to Neimeyer, Eldridge & Brooks, were consumed, with their contents. Both, however, were fully jnsured. ‘The storm was so severe that none of the river or bay steamers would venture out, except the Baittmore line. THE STORM DOWN EAST. EastTPort, Me., March 6, 1872. The most severe snow storm of the season oc curred yesterday. In ten hours’ time the mercury in tue thermometer dropped forty-nine degrees, and last night the cold was intense, tue thermometer being fifteen degrees below zero. ‘No mails have been received, in consequence of the trains being blocked by the snow. PORTLAND, Me., March g, 1872. Trains on all the roads running into this city are badly disarranged by the snow and weather. The Ogdensburg train from Conway arrived about three hours late, The train on the Maine Cen- tral road, which leit Bangor this morning, ran off the track shortly alter siarting, and another train was made up this side and came Ihrough between two and three hours late. ‘There are four mails due irom beyond Bangor, On the Grand Trank road no trains or malis have arrived from beyond South Paris for four days.

Sr. Louis, March 6, 187%, The despatch from Topeka to-night says that Senator Caldwell did not state the facts in the Senate when he said tnat the Legislature had re- fused to order the testimony of the Investigating Committee to be sent to the Vice President. On the receipt of the report of the commitree the House agreed to it and a@ resolution was unanimousiy adopted directing the Secretary of State to senda copy to each Kansas Senator and to the Vice Presi- dent, to be laid before the Senate. Three days after the Senate took up the resolution and struck out that portion requiring the vestimony to be sent to the Vice President. The House re- fused to concur in this, and the Senate refused w recede. The House theu, thinking the Senate would do nothing, passed resolutions of its own, directing the Speaker of the House to send the testimony to the Vice President, When the Senate found that the testimony was to be sent independent of its action it receded from its amendment and passed the reso- Jution in its original form. When this action became known to the House it rescinded its actions directing the Speaker to send the testimony, as it preterred it should go as the action of both houses. In the last hours of the session the Senate carried &@ motion to reconsider its action on the promise of Caldwell’s friends to vote for a certain appropria- tion of $25,000, which tney did, and which the Senate could’ not have carried but for these votes, After the Appropriation bill was passed ihe question of agreeing to the House resolution again came up and was passed, the Badcve who nad agreed to vote against it in consideration of the vote on the Ap- propriation bill going back on their pledge. Caldwell’s friends seemed to think it of the utmost importance that the testimony should not be for- warded to the Vice President, anu to stop its being gent they Would vote for or against all otner Measures; but they utteriy failed to carry their int, Pst now comes another fact. The original reso- lution directing the testimony to be sent to Wash- ington does not appear on the Journals otf either House. ‘The resolution is said to have been stolen, but there 1s ® copy of it in existence, and it 18 posstole that the fear ol the con- sequences May overcome the desire to make money, and that the resolution and testimony may go to Washing ‘The ve ony will not be printed until the last of March, and it is a printed copy that is to be sent. It may be as well to state that some intimate friends of the Governor have said that if the journals do not show a true state of the proceedings of the Legislature an extra session will be called, THE HERALD AND DR.

When the city awoke yesterday morsiny tie mier- cury in the thermometer stood at seven degrees above zero, {t had gone down twenty-oule degrees’ Within three hours. This was not a pleasgat pros pect for the thousands of up-town residents and those wno live over in Brooklyn or Jersey. The rec- ollection of the previous day’s sufferings must have been deterring, and no doubt miserable feelings seized possession of the wayfarers as they betoo&® themselves to work as best they might, shivering in the biting morning air. Seen in imagination, the spectacle of New York going to business on . & MORNING IN MARCH, with the vemperature only sevén degrees from zero, Presents so many contrasts that it would be difficult to portray the ever-changing scenes along the way; and hence it may be as well to leave to fancy the coloring of a picture that can as easily be made ludicrous by @ few touches as be rendered pregnant with political, polemical, social and many other meanings and suggestive features, At nine o’clock A. M. the mercury in the tler- mometer had crept up to ten degrees, and con- tinued to ascend until at noon it had got up to seventeen degrees. At noon the sun shone out pleasantly, amd the sky was clearea ef those heavy, leaden clouds that have overhung the city since the cold snap set in, There was enough of frost in the air to counteract the in- fluence of the sun’s rays, the result being that the Streets remained dry, and where there was frozen snow on the ground it was crisp under the foot, It looked as if . THE GENIAL SPRING had asserted herself and relieved the city with a cnarming, fresh and health-giving glow of sunshine and warmth. The streets were filled with people, on business or out for pleasure. In the principal thoroughfares ladies appeared in spring fasntons. The afternoon was a breezy but pleasant spring opening. tn the evening, though the wind blew keenly and the temperature was low, yet a vast improvement had taken place, ana most people were, conse- quently, gratified at finding a restoration to toler- able colt feelings, The sufferings of the preceding day were in gloomy contrast with THIS ALMOST EXHILARATING SNAP. City cars and ferryboats were more endurable, and it was not possiple for pedestrians to reach the end of @journey without a sore bone and a doubt a8 to the soundness of ears and noses, Poor drivers of trucks, ’busses and railroad cars, in the prospect of @ moderate punishment, cheerfully continued their day’s tdul. The working girls, on thelr way irom shop or factory, stepped out more nimbly than: they had for two days previously. A brighter pros- pect generally prevailed, and 1t was feit that the expiring winter had done its worst, had given its aying spasm with all the strength that was in it. There was not anything like the sting of the pre- vious days in the air, but even though it was uu- pleasant enough to bear * TRE KEEN, BITING CHILL, it was something to know that the end of it was near, judging from the experience afforded by former cold snaps, Records show that Jack Frost seldom Ree ps 3s so vehemently disagreeable a mood ashe nas nm since Monday for a longer period than seventy-two hours. So, then, it ts to be pre- sumed that with whatever mischief he may have done last night he will rest content, and that this morning we shall have a bright spring day. In general the ferries yesterday were able to cross the streams, if not quite regularly, at least nearly 80. Both rivers were, of course, at points, full of ice, but at those ferries where the greatest trafic prevails THE FERRYBOATS WERE RUNNING at reasonabie intervals under the circumstances. The Fulton ferryboats ran pretty nearly regular trips all day. The Cortlandt atreet ferry dumng the alternoon and evening was able to do the same, but in the forenoon the boats were considerably delayed, and made trips only at long intervals. The Desbrosses street Doats were impeded aimost constantiy. Hamilton ferryboats made nearly regular trips, with an oda delay. South ferryboata did not run at all until five o’clock in the evening, owing, 1t was sald, to the masses of ice in their course. Wail street poats were about the same. Atall the ferries there was, more or less, some delay, most of the boats, except Fulton, having at umes stoppages in the river, varying trom fifteen to fifty minutes. complaints are frequent that the ferry employés on both rivers have availed themselves of THE EXCUSE OF THE ICE to ignore the rignts of passengers and treat them ina manner they would not dare do at ordinary times, For instance, yesterday morning the boat due to leave Peck slip for Williamsburg at about half-past one o’clock did not leave the slip until haif-past four o'clock, On the flimsy and false excuse that the ice would impede ‘the trip, The boat was loaded with ladies and gentlemen, who were returning home from festive gatherings in this city, and by gentlemen whose work requires late hours, It subsequently transpirea that the 1ce in the river was not at all sufficient to impede the Progress of the boat. But as soon as the hour ar- rived for all hands working at the boat to be re- lieved from duty the officer in charge, by some un- accountable meaus, learned that he might venture to put on steam, and then only was 1t consiaered Ume to think of the passengers, who had been KEPT WAITING THRE HOURS in cabins without sufficient heat to warm them. ‘This was @ gross Outrage, whicn should receive the atrention Oo! the mere The boat might have Tun her regular ben with but slight delay, Again, on the North River, another occurrence ik place which shows most culpable management on the Hoboken ferries. So little attention had been ald to the condition of one of the boats making pee during the night that in the middle of the stream THE GAS GAVE OUT AND THERE WAS NO STRAM, passengers being left in the dark and to freeze in the cabins for want of warmth. The boat left the ferry slip at two A. M. yesterday morning and reached Hoboken at five o'clock. It has been said above that the South ferry did not have any boats running until evening, and this can scarcely be accounted for. ‘The Hamilton ferry- boats were running all day, and it is dificult to see how the South ferryboats could not also cross the river. If the ice, pressed in (rom the North River to the East, permitted the Hamilton boats to run, it could scarcely have accumulated at a point higher up the stream s0 as to impede altogetner the pas- sage of @ ferryboat irom the South terry slip.
