Miss GJERTZs CONCERT OF LAST EVENING
This talented young lady gave her first concert last
evening at the Washington Hotel, and fully sus-
tanned the reputation of being superior pianist,
which she had acquired at Knoops and Ole Bulls
concerts. Her style bears the stamp of Kalkbren-
ner's method, which leaves knocking and tours de
farce of the wrist to the worshippers of the modern
eccentric school, and confines itself merely to the
fingers, as Beethoven and Hummel did. There
was much originality in Miss Gjertz's conception
Of the different pieces she chose, and although she
played them all beautifully, we give the palm to
The first Mr. Rapetti and Madame Otto acquitted
themselves of their respective morceaur with their
usual and well-known brapoure. Mr.. Barton, the
celebrated hutist from London, made his first APP
pearance before New York audience, and was
very favorably received He is one of the best
futlsts we have heard, and certainly has few
equals in sweetness of tone and grace of execution
Mr. Berg who is quite young man, presided at
The piano-forte, with much aplomb, and evinced
superior order of talent The room was not very
tull, owing to the piercing cold of the evening.

THE WAR DEPARTMEST.--Now that the result ef the Presidential election IS known, there will doubtless be good deal of specu- laiion about the formation of the new admin isration. Of whom the cabinet will be com posed, and from what sections of the Union it's members will be selected, can only be known to the President elect. We have no fears but the selections will be wisely made, and prove gratifying to the great mass of the people In the ranks of the democratic party, in each section of the country, arc to be found statesmen of enlarged patriotism and com manding talents.
 Our foreign relations require a statesman to manage them, at once firm and determined, vet, frank and liberal. With England and Mexico, there are open questions to be ad- justed, and false step taken in relation to them. might lead 10 disastrous consequences, But, perhaps, at this time in particular, there ought to be at the head of the War Depart lnent man of higher administration talents than in either of the other departments, In addition to other and most arduous duties, there deyolves on the Secretary of War, the management Of our Indian affairs. These, of late years, have assumed a high importance On our Southwestern border large tribes exist, powerful in numbers. and in the advance some of them have made towards civilized state They are removed, some of them unwillingly, from their ancient hunting grounds, and the graves of their forclathers. Their resentments may have become partially allayed, but cannot vet be extneuished, the fires are buried over, but slight causes might fan them into devas- tating flames. Should our bickerings with Mexico, ripen into active hosiilities. who can doubt but the Indian tribes along our whole border will be intrigued with, to induce them to raise the warcry, and unshealh the scalp ing knife against us2 If 1t be SO. and who will doubt it? it is of the most vital impor- tance to have at the head of the War Depart ment. statesman of talent and energy, and ono thoroughly acquainted not only with our Indian relations generally, but one who is practically acquainted with the Indian char actels, customs, and manners. We allude to the lion. A. II. Seyler, now Senator in Congress from the State of Arkansas. Dur ing long legislative career, he has acquired a high reputation for talent, stralghtforward- ness, and business habits. He has grown with the growth of the Southwest, is inti- mately acquainted with, and devoted to. its interests. He has not mere general, but practical knowledge of our Indian relations, and, if placed at the head of the War Depart ment, would, VIC doubt not, become a secre- tary as distinguished for his abilities in ad- milistering Ii. as was Mr. Calhoun. n the Cabinet of Monroe. When it is remembered. tha. no difficulties need be apprehended in any otses part of the Union, than our West ern bofder- and that a great part of the Army will hc necessarily stationed upon ti,at fren-

\ HUGE CAnBAsE.-Co. Richard Dunn kindly presented us on Monday last, from his farm in this county, the finest cabbage head we ever saw. It was about three feet and half in circumference, foot, at least deep, and the beautiful white leaves were all folded over upon each other, as to make it solid and compact bulk. We placed it in the hands of the accomplished hostess of the City Ho- tel, who prepared it n various dishes for the table and after sixty more gentlemen had dined upon it, there was enough left for at least as many more Such cabbage speaks we'll for the soil and horticul tural skill of Col, Dunn. Such presents will always be acceptable.
