MATAMOROS, Sept. 20, 1873, Private advices received to-day from Monterey State that areport prevailed there that General Rocha had arrested General Escobedo at Zacatecas, It is supposed that the government, becoming suspicious of General Rocha’s loyalty, had ordered General Escobedo, who was at Sam Luis Potosi, to relieve General Rocha of his command at Zaca- tecas, and that when General Escobedo arrived there General Kocha had pronounced against the government and taken Escobedo prisoner.

Signor Salvini appeared last evening as Ingo- mar before a large audience at the Academy of Music. The performance was in every respect a success, and the triumph was as complete and the ovation as enthusiastic as those which he won in Othello.e When, tn 1842, the Baron de Mitnch-Bellinghausen, under the pseudonym of Frederic de Haim, pro- duced “Der Sohn der Wildness” (identicai with the English “Ingomar,” the French “Fils du Désert”’ and the Italian “Figlo delle Selve’), he vindi- cated the’power of a pure and noble love to subdue the heart, modulate the tempera- ment and revolutionize the habits of one who Was, in many things, little better than a barba- rian, His Ingomar is a semi-civilized chief, who, even in his sleep, dreams of pursuing and capturing, of crushing and killing, of triumph and dooty. Curses are at home in his mouth. He is despotic and tyrannical. His will 1s his all-suffl- cient logic, He worshipg liberty, youth and strength, and thinks strength only is free. All that he expects, when he shall have grown white- haired and infirm, is to sit under a tree and await the summons of the gods, He thinks that vigor only 8 life, and that life without it is like a Sheath without a@ blade, a quiver withont arrows. He has no pity for cowardice, not even in the old and decrepit, and despises the egotism that clings to life. The hunts, the rude banquets, the combats and the dangers of his adventurous life content him. His ideal of womanhood is barbarous, He believes that women are voluptuous and false, Playing the coquette from the cradle up,. At first he is so indifferent to Parthenia, who has volun- tarily placed herBelf in servitude to him to redeem her father, that he would send ner away because |. She is of no use, He boasts that be never know fear, and first sdmires Parthenia when her pride masters her tears, But he still regards her as a chattel, and wishes she could make swords instead of wreathe cups with roses, He is first brought to think tenderly of her because of her re- semblance to his little brother, who has died. Tbe exhibition of this soft place in his heart ts artfully employed by the dramatist, and is in keeping with the undercurrent of graciousness which makes it- self felt from time to time, He is prone to tnink of the use of things rather than their beauty, and ad- mires cups and vases as utensils, and not because Parthenia adorns them with fowers, By degrees he comes to praise her workmanship, and swears by the beams of the sun it pleases him. But he wakes to a sense of Parthenia’s purity slowly, He strikes his sword and calls it his wite. He is almost a woman hater, not becanse he has been deceived, but because he has not yet seen any woman worthy to be loved. The conversation between him and Parthenia is ingeniously led up to love by & consideration of the differ. ent methods in which wives are woocd by the Greeks and the wild tribes he governs, He | kvows no love beyond comradeship and the sen- sual appetite. But, bending beneatu the indefina- ble influence of Parthenia, he begins plucking tor her the very flowers which, a few moments ago, he forbade ner to pluck. He even prom: ises to bring the freshest and best perfumed. ly his reference to his little dead brother, it is shown that he was always the servant of those whom he loved, and thus the incredibuity of his seemingly sudden change is softened. Passion is first woke in him by Parthenias’ singing “What love is wouldst thou be taut.’ He fails intoa reverie, whence itis wapossivie to rouse him. He tries in vain io break the chain that binds him. That chain ts love, and until now he has never felt its power, te is thrown into an agonizing tumult. His soul, for the first time, is wounded with the clash of arms. Yethe biushes for this dream of love and seeks to reconcile his past life with ins present feelings by wishing Parthenia were hs younger brother. Again and again he returas Greamily to the burden of her so ‘Two souls with but a single thought, Two hearts that beat as one. At last, in an excess of savage passion, he informs Parthenia that she must be | His wild habits gaining the upper hand he reminds Parthenia that she 18 his slave; but is struck dun her standing motionless before his 1 sword and preferring death ravher submission to his embrace. He weeps, he who had despisee tears, and wincing beneath her scorn | of his violence gives her ber liberty. In the midst Of all this conflict he is conscious of his superiority to his comrades, and wishes her to feel It too. He conducts her honorably to the borders of her ows laud, gnd as le does 80, she carrying Ris Yaice Aint shicid and kg bepping her basket of berries, th> exchange is 24 fective and sque a bit of antithesis as any matist has | ever introduced, yhen finaily Parthenia is about to bid him adien, he wishes that he were sunk with his shield in the swamp, ut Massilia wi at the hottom of the sea, that Ships sailed over {is towers, and that cane and r rose instead of spires.’ Ali his sensuality giv: to nobler fe: ings. He beseeches her to stav with him, telts him that he is a bright star veiled with mist, | arough gem before (he artificer jas fired its t mulous rays, that he worships only strength, that his sole argumentis his sword, and that order and law are foreign tohim. She reminds him that a coi- mon law and sweet customs must find those whein love has united, in order that esteem may purity | and preserve the warmth of youth. He quivers beneath her words, and the lingering savagery of | his nature construes them into iusuits; but, with a heart as great and beantiful as his native forests, be conquers himself, asserts his own worth, and | acknowledges: bis willingness to become a Greek, He grows docile, accompanies | her home, and implores her father, who had once been his despised captive, to reach | him. He dois his hides, trims his hair and beard, | conducts the plough, works at the anvil, and even delivers up his sword. He meekly endures the taunts of Parthenia’s mother; but he cannot mas- | ter conventionalisms, He worships the candor of | the forest still, aud cannot become obsequions to | the Timarch. He refuses to betray his recent com- rades and is willing to forego all the gifts and honors promised him, Parthenia into the bargain, rather than act the spy. Driven forth at last by the people of whom he hoped to become one, he learns with ecstasy that Parthenia will ompany him. Unconsciously to himself he has convinced her that all is comprehended in the gift of a heay- enly heart. We presume there are some réles with which Signor Saivini sympathizes more strongly than with others. Ingomar may be one. But all that he has yet done he has done so perfectly that it seems premature to assert of any particular character that that is Sal- vini's par excellence. Hamlet and one or two other parts that are as op- | posed to Othello as day to night, it would be fooi- | ish to attempt to limit the extent over which bis capabilities stretch, But his acting last night dem- onstrated that his Ingomar is his own as uniquely as his Othello. Through every sinuosity indicated in the foregoing analysis of the processes through which Ingomar’s discipline passed this great actor's genius triumphantly and aifiuently wound, Yet the part is not one which will take as dcep a hold upon public sympathy as bis Othello. The scenes are too pastoral, the sentiments are too ideal, the spirit is too far removed irom the vitalities of every day life. The whole drama is symbolic, pre- figuring the exalting and refining effect of love upon a magnanimous natnre, brought up among savage surroundings, Signor Salvini ts the Ideal ‘son of the forest, He makes possitie the | noble savage, who, like the golden age, has existed only in the poet’s brain. Forest and sunlight and wind and wave have their broad and generous effects in his physique and action. We have not space this morning to go into further details. It | will suffice to add that one of the most striking ; effects last evening was that wrought when [ngo- about to offer violence to thenia, and threatening her life, she exclaims, “Take it,” and holds her head ready tor the sword. Piamonte pro- duced an impression second only to Salvini. She was greatly and deservedly applauded, and Signor Alessandro Salvini was excellent as Myron. The gy, will be repeated to-morrow night. ‘La Morte ivile’’ will be brought out on Tuesday, WALLAOK’S THEATRE. The new piece, ‘Dust and Diaxonds,” which was produced last evening at Wallack’s theatrer is @ good specimen of a very bad kind of plays. It is not pleasant to know that the audience received {t Kindly last night. Mr. Charies Gayler, the author, bas been credited with some power as @ constructing dramatist. “Dust and Dia- monds” should fake from even the faint praise that has hitherto been given him. The presence in the play of all the characters that have done duty for years im novels and on the stage shows how little effort he has made for novelty in one direction, He has taken what dramatic things were at hand aud made them into a play. His straining has been for new and starting dramatic situations, and has ended only in the roduction of sensational and sometimes ridicu- jous results, It is pleasant to have father and child reunited and clasped in each otner’s arms; it is good in several Ways to have the evil persons depicted as o’erthrown by the failure of their own strategy; and a glow comes Into the heart of every roper person when the beneficent effects of unsell- Rin love and care are represented, But these are not ew things in dramatic literature, and Mr. Gayler ssens the 3 truths by unskilfully expressing them in “1 and Diamonds.” The play was writ- ten only for the purpose of giving Mr, Shiel Barry an opportunity to make @ character, A more “Moony Mick” than tne author’s creatvon unless with Mr. Barry giving the part life, contd hardly be conceived.

Van Zandt is expected to-morrow by the Oceanic, The new play, ‘Haunted Houses,” to be produced at the Grand Opera House on Tuesday evening, affords @ fine opportinity for sensational scenic display. The chance bas been cared for by Mr. Daly, and the admirers of gorgeous stage dreasing are promised some thrilling effects. At the Lyceum Theatre “Notre Dame,” now in its third week, will be allowed to run its full course, and other novelties will be delayed, The play is drawing to the Lyceum its proper share of attendants, though the ‘graduated scale of admis- sion prices” may have something to do with the present success of the theatre. Miss Lydia Thompson and her company will give their last performances at the Olympic Theatre this week, and next week they start on what ts their sixth annual tour tn this country, The bur- lesques of “Sindbad” and “Algddin” are yet on the bills, and it is confidently announced by the manager that they give opportunity for the display of the special attractions of the company. The regular season at Wallack’s Theatre will be- gin on Tuesday, September 30, The opening piece will be o three-act comedy called “Barwise’s Book,” in which Mr. Sothern will appear. This and a new piece, adapted from the French for Mr. Sothern, will probably fill out the time until Novem- ber, when Mr. Lester Wallack will return to hisown stage. The old comedies are the main features of Mr. Wallack’s programme, but during the period of his performances he is to produce several new pieces which have been written for him. At the Germania Theatre the opening week was very successful. Mr. Nenendorff’s comedy company appeared in a number of dramas and on Friday his operatic combination appeared, and four new opera singers were heard for the first time, The manager intends to continue the present operet- tas during the season. To-morrow evening Offen- bach’s “Verlobung bel der danterne” will be given, and “Les Brigands’? will follow it next week, The latter opera has never been sung here in the German language. The eighth season of Theodore Thomas’ summer nights’ concerts closed on Tuesday evening at Central Park Garden with a Wagner night. The programme, with the exception of Beethoven’s eighth symphony and a violin solo played by Mr. Listemann, consisted of compositions by Richard Wagner. Tie season just terminated was the most successful one of the series, and it is generally ad- mitted that these concerts—of which nearly 150 were given during the summer—have become an actual necessity to our music-loving public, The pro- grammes have been not only entertaining in the highest degree, but also very instractive, and ¢éon- tained, besides the works of the masters, a number of novelties uever before heard in this country, This is the last week of the Aimée opdra bouge company at the Broadway Theatre, During the week they will perform “La Fille de Madame Angot,” except on Wednesday evening, when “La Grande Duchesse’’ is to be given.

About a quarter past three o’clock an explosion occurred which put®out the lights in ail three mines.’ The workmen at this time were hurrying from the Crown Point and Belcher shaits, and all escaped except six, whose bodies have since been recovered. Communication between the Imperial on the north and the Crown Point on the south has been cutoff.

Work will be commenced probably in the Belcher and Crown Point mines to-morrow, as they have sus- { tained but little damage, ‘Tne following were Killed and their bodies recovered :—Lewis Losalla, J, B. Waters, W. Broadmater, Tom Niles, J. Cusick, George B. Nudd. A number of others are suffering from burns and inhaling of gas.

One morning Jast winter, upon the application of certain parties the City Treasurer for their bonds, called “city sixes,’ the authorities were astounded to find that $20,000 worth had mysteriously disappeared, It was ascertained that these bonds had been taken from the Tragurer’s office at the time they were ready for transfer to the Philadelphia Bank, Of course, they were of no value to the parties hold. ing them unless they could explain how the bonds came into their possession, The bonds were the Property of a certain Mrs. Parker and were all made out in her name, Upon @ certaim day Mrs. Tamer ©. Johnson went to @ well known broker and requested him to sell the bonds as soon a8 possible and the firm negotiated for the bonds, Tamar C, Johnson, representing herseif to be Mrs. Parker, then in Kurope, called upon another woman named Maria Fury to prove that what she had said was the truth. Some time ater this the real Mrs, Parker, as be- Jore stated, called at the Treasurer’s office and de- manded her $20,000 worth of bonds. They were missing and could not be found. Nor bas it yet been ascertained who stole them. The Philadelphia Bank, in the name of which the transier had been made, sent for Maria Fury, Who is a woman of some means, and asked where this Mrs. Johnson was who represented herself as Mrs, Parker. Mrs. Fury repfea that she did not kno: but the police authorities soon learned her whereabouts and arrested her along with a certain George Ranking who was sup- posed to have played no minor part in obtaintng the bonds, The rites were arrested lor larceny and several months ago Were put under bailin the sum of $10,000 each. ‘The case never has come to trial, and journals, both in Philadetphia and New York, have placed a@ very peculiar construction upon the circumstance of their being withheld from Court. Indeed the strangest rumors have been afoat, and many aay that @ compromise nad been effected and that all the stolen money was turned, Ten days ago, in answer to immense external pressure, the Court of Common Pleas issued a bench warrant against these parties for forgery, and since that time Captain Franks has been searching for the parties in every quarter’ of the city. He found Mrs. ‘Tamar ©. Johnson, for whom he has been diligently looking, this morn- ing, and took her and all the other parties men- tioned above before the Court, where they were held for forgery, their bail being named at $5,000 each, The case will be tried on Monday next.
