port prevailed on Thursday and yesterday that
this bank had suspended payment. The con.
sequence was that its notes, (of the denomina.

persons who have passed some of these notes

obtained from them in their stead. The notes
represent that the directors are personally

Columbia Musical Concert.

MEssRs. EDIToRs: Your appropriate notice
OF the concert ON Monday night by the above
association, with the wish expressed that the
association might prosper, and that sense Of
the value Of such an association in our midst,
and the amount Of talent there is among US to
be cultivated, might be appreciated, meets with
hearty response from all and it brought to
mind the happy condition and the many fond
hopes cherished one year since, when our IN
strume7itat wes united with a vocaL department
What has become Of so honorable an organiza-
ton, and one which bade fair to be SO useful?
For one, would like to see such united So
ciety once more, after the manner and musical
influence Of our larger cities Not that the
Columbia Association should change its present
form for many and other useful purposes; but
that the vocal talent should be added to it, for
the double purpose of having popular public
concerts, and the improvement and union of the
whole musical talent of the city. In this way
societies and associations will prosper, but can
not well in any other. ''In union there is
strength"
And, then Messrs. Editors, you will be agree
ably surprised to find how much good and highly
cultivated vocal talent we have in our city. As
q tolerable judge of music, / believe some of
our female singers to be fully equal to many Of
our foreign applauded vocalists. Attendance
at several late rehearsas fully confirms this
opinion; and, indeed, the concerts given last
year, under the devoted and popular president
of the Columbia Association" were certainly
highly complimentary to our fair friends, and
gentlemen too Now, why should not such gifts
and requirements be brought together, and each
help the other, and all work together for the
good and honor Of our city, MUSICAL.
