nounced THOMAS M. ALLEN, of Boone, a
candidate for Congress. The Missouri
Statesman states, "by authority" that he is
not, nor will not be candidate, and says
mo man in the State would make better

lister the affairs Of State according to Law
and Copeland we, too, SHOULD hail his
election in As as an event suspicious TO the
sound interests of the people,"
OFThe last Democrat regrets that the
candidate for Congress was not taken from
the Sd District, as there are "stacks of
men within its limits capable Of discharg-

for nominating a Governor comes on, "our
own district will be attended to, and Claib

RECEPTION OF THE WAR NEWS AT
WASHINGTON.
The Washington Union published the same
account of the battle which will be found in TO-
days paper, and says: ain addition to the infor
nation thus received, we have had the pleasure Of
seeing Capt. Eaton, who has brought dispatches
from Gen. Taylor to the War Department.
Capt. Eaton left our camp at Monterey on the
evening of the 25th Of September He deserves
great credit for the aacrty and energy which he
has exhibited in reaching Washington from.

night. Our army has again covered itself with
glory. 1t has driven the Mexicans from their
strong entertainments, on very precipitous heights,
on both sides Of the Rio del Tigre--sorming
them in the face Of the enemy and their guns
beating an army Of double their own force, as has
been estimated-and after four days fighting, and
driving the enemy from one entertainment after
another, and from street to street, compelled them
to surrender Monterey, with all its supplies Of
ammunition, provisions, &C., and cannon, with a
very small exception. Neither army is to pass a
specified line-which is perhaps nearly half way
between Monterey and Satilo-under eight
weeks. But this armistice, in the first place,
does not embrace our other lines of operations
and, secondly, it is subject in cypress terms, 10

ments. The army is worthy Of all praise for the
gallantry and skill which have been displayed by
our officers and troops, both volunteers and regu
lars. This is another brilliant military event in
the annals Of our country.

THE GREAT RELIGIOUS ANSfvrRsARrEs.-Thes
important assemblnges may be said to commence
this evening, at the Tabernacle, in Broadway, as
viii appear by the following notice:-
FRIDAY, May sth. = ma
African Education and Civilization Taberna'
Gle, IN Broadway, 10 commence at O'Clock, I'm.
Preparations are making throughout the city,
for tho reception Of the clergymen; and we have
no doubt there will be goodly number present
One of the greatest difficulties in rendering hospi-
talities to the country clergymen, arises from the
beastly practice which many of them have of
chewing tobacco. On former occasions, many
religious families have entertained cergymen,
and paid them the greatest attention and the
only return which these pious men left behind,
was destruction to the carpets and furniture, by
splitting, produced in consequence of their intem-
peratc use of tobacco. We hope and trust that
the clergymen will reform themselves in this re-
spec, and try to conduct themselves like well-bred
gentlemen. There is no chewing tobacco, or
splitting in consequence thereof, in the Kingdom
of Heaven; nor is there any biblical or other
authority justiiying such practice. When our
Lord in the wilderness worked his miracles, il
was to supply loaves and fishes-not tobacco and
splitting boxes.
Among the other religious assemblies which we
see, IS convention of the Provincial Council of
the Catholic clergy in Baltimore, next Sunday.
This great council will consist of twenty-six Ca
tholic Bishops-marked thus land others of
the Catholic clergy, who will meet, with closed
DOORS This is not the mode Of conducting reli-
gious affairs, consonant to the institutions of this
country, although it might do in Rome, under
Constantine the Great. The Catholic church should
be as open in their proceedings as the Kingdom
of Heaven. We shall endeavor, however, to give
report of their proceedings, in spite Of their
crecy; and we request some of our Catholic cor
respondents in Batimore-whose names shall be
completely concealed-to give us the full particu-
lars of the proceedings that may take place there,
even by the telegraph, if necessary, and we shall
pay all expenses.

MUSICAL MATTERs.-One of the most curious
freaks of musical and fashionable society in this
city, is the entire failure of all the concerts recent
ly given, with the exception OF one--a matter of
peculiar personal effort This was Hcnrich's
concert, which was more in the nature Of Grand
Musical Frolic, where fun and fine music were
mixed in equally large slices. Theatricals seem to
be growing at present, and musical matters on the
wanc. This decline in musical matters appears
to have prevailed since the withdrawal, last year,
of the Italian company, including Madame Pico ;
also, of De Meyer and Templeton. 1t is possible
that the musical taste may be revived as some Of
these eminent artists return, which may be in a
few weeks. Madame Pico is already here, and
we shall, doubtless, have an opportunity Of judg-
ing thereof, when she gives her concert.
Awopos, in regard to musical matters, we have
received curious letter from Charles Perabeau,
the musician and musical critic, in which nc ac-
knowledges himself to be the source and origina-
tor of piece of plagiarism, taken from Black
acood's Magazine, and applied to De Meyer, which
appeared in the Herald some time ago, and which
was meanly taken hold Of by some OF our contem-
poraries. Perabeau mingles with his confessions a
great deal of impertinence and impudence, and
some remarks against De Meyer, not worthy
attention. This is proof and sample of the inn
pertnence which prevails among the musical cri-
tics; and as we have nailed already one of them
to the counter, there to stick, example to the
rest, we do not one button for their quarrels
rivalries, or jealousies, nor shall we enter into

Tobacco.

Our readers are perhaps aware that there mas
been great loss on Tobacco the past season.
Common Tobacco has frequently sold IN the BaItI'
more market for less sum than would pay the ex'
pense OF packing and sending it I'd market. Why
is tbisl The reason is obvious. There is too much
common Tobacco raised Farmers had better let
their Tobacco rot on the ground, than undertake
to raise more than they can properly assort ana
handup
But while there is such depression in the pri-
ces of common Tobacco, the best article OF onio
Tobacco is bringing good prices. we have been
credilabIy informed that Mr.. Lamping, OF Balti'
more, sold this year one hogshead Of Tobacco for
Mr.. Hance, of Belmont county, at 30 dollars per
hundred; and one for Mr.. Hare, OF this county, at
sls dollars per hundred! AT the same time sound
common Tobacco was selling for from 81, so to w
per hundred. We say again to our farmers, as We
said few weeks since, leave two-thirds of your
Tobacco to rot on the ground, rather than have It
all of an interior quality.
Bya letter from Messrs. Sullivan & Sons, OF Bal
timore. of Sept 18th, we see it stated that there
was on hand 40, 900 hlds. OF Tobacco. Theietter
then goes on to state
"This is enormous, far beyond the wants OF con-
sumers. and is an evidence that the production has
ia, exceeded the demand When the crop grown
last wear is all n we estimate that the supplies ON
hand in this country and Europe, viii be sulhc'e"t
for all purposes of consumption for two to three
wears to come, even ii none should be raised III
MARYLAND and Ohio for the same space Of time:
"To correct the depressed state Of the marker,
and as the surest means of ultimately enhancing
prices, the planting in Ohio for several succeeding
wears should te greatly diminished; and we would
earnesy recommend the farmers 10 leave all theii
i, common Tobacco standing in the fields and not
gather it, suffering it to return to the ground iol
manure. as the most profitable use that could be
made otit. If the common Tobacco be sent 4
market, it will not sell for enough to cover thu
freight and we therefore strongly urge upon yo'
t the impoicy Of dealing in such description on an!
4 terms"
