The grand ocatorio OF ''Jcptha" Is to be re-
pcatcd at Carusi's Saloon on Monday evening,
9Th inst, with an increased and complete or
chestra. Some distinguished amateurs, who
took part in the last Concert, will lend their
effective aid on this occasion, We entertain
not a doubt that the reproduction of the orato-
rio, which has been universally requested, will
he brilliantly and numerously attended. We
viii add, that We heartily wish so; for it is due
not only TO our excellent townsman, Professor
Hewitt, but also TO the encouragement of the
native musical talent of the highest order, which
mas been splendidly manifested in the chasto
and beautiful oratorio of Jeptha.
The late heavy frost has made sad havoc
among the thousand Dablias which have sdorn-
cd the Capitol and Presidents grounds; and
those beautiful retreats look now shorn of their
glories, like
"Some banquet hall deserted"
The weather this evening is exceedingly dis
agreeable; the sky is very cloudy, and we shall
certainly be visited with chilling rain before
morning. Is.

,Hcss1S. EdtorS:-lt appears that Thos. Will
son. Esq. purchased Barling's Railroad Hotel
for the "Granite Manufacturing Company"
who are making extensive purchases to carry
out their glorious designs In fact, their estab
lishmenl, when fully completed, will be a vii
iage IN a village occupying both sides of the
Uver The usual cry is; "Great cry and little
wooin-but surely it now is here" Great cry
and great deal of WOOL" or so many factories
would not be rising in Lowell splendor. We
are FREE, and thank God, we shall soon be IN
dependent, o,-mahutacturing our own goods
from our own materials, without depending on
England for the very shirts on our backs, and
the "stfing" for that "gro,cing erit" called the
hustle! 1t is gratifying fact, especially TO the
Native American, that the South is co.operat-
'ng with the North in putting down that go
reign monopoly which has so long made US the
dogs OF the European manufacturers and CAPT
taI'sts, submitting TO be chained for the privi-
:ege of being fed from their hands,!

In the store of Nathaniel Ellicott & Palmer,
by the way, one of the largest and cheapest
IN this place, where the ''Chpper" clips the fol-
es of the age while they are clipping the goods
i saw nnety-fre stalks of rye which had
grown from single grain, on the farm attach
cd to the Union Factory, conducted by Thos.
Kenny. Could be convinced that the over
seer labored on the Lords day, should say
that the erira labor produced the extra fecundi-
y; but, Judging otherwise, am compelled to
declare that the intrinsic value of home produce
tam is exhibited in the wonderful curiosity!

i it really belonged to him, SO accommodating
were the host and servants. Such is ai,caus the |
case at this hotel.
Last night accompanied some ladies to the |
Howard Lyceum. The question was, "Has
Congress the power TO abolish slavery in the
District Of Columbia?" Mr.. Welsh was Presi-
dent The debate was opened by Hastings, in
The affirmative, and Nelly, in the negative
Ile former soon showed that he is teaching Il
school, and the latter that he has been in the
'HIFlHhd Legislature, so scholastic and loren
SIC were their arguments. The debate, not be-
ing 'crm enough to ,cmm the room throughout,
as there was no fire in the stove,-the ladies',
escorted by myself in picturesque manner,
were obliged TO leave the arena, without hear
ing the learned opinion Of Jas, Wingatc, Esq
on the subject.
A project, called "The Black Cat Spccula-
hon,' Is brutcd in this place. | know not
where it originated. The plan is tn purchase
an island-stock it with black cats-fatten
them, and then kill them, exporting their skins
to tho China market The words 'Requies-cAr
IN pace /" will die away; and if cats have nine
lives, they will have terrible time "a killing
on 'em" 1t is black gGair--I am supersti-
nous, and hope 1t does not betokon some black
calamity to our country
We swarthy cats that new,
Think in grief of you,
That you Wust shortly emgralc
Without your wsh--O cruel fate.
