Captain Adam's Great Historical Panoramic Views of the Wars will be exhibited at Long's Hall on Friday and Saturday evening, Sept. 16 and 17. Truly, this is the finest piece of fine arts ever produced in the city of New York, and by far the best exhibition of the kind ever shown in this country. Capt. Adams is an old soldier, having been in many of the battles that he will exhibit, and his statements in regard to them will be both instructive and interesting. Doors open at 7 o'clock P. M.; performance at 7 1/2 o'clock. Admission, 50 cents. Children half price.

THE QUOTA OF MISSOURI. -- Gen. John B. Gray, Adjutant General of Missouri, has gone to Washington to look after the interests of this State in procuring credits to Missouri residents enlisted in regiments of the States of Iowa, Kansas, Arkansas, and the Territory of Nebraska. These, it is thought, number about 2,500, which will, if credited, give us a considerable reduction in our quota.
