THE Texas lNptANs-We learn from gentle
man recently arrived from Texas that Major
G. T. Howard, the Indian Agent, has acce pied
offers made to him by several public spirited cit
liens of that State, donating large quantity of at
present uuoccupied land fol the temporary settle
ment of the wild tribes now starving among the
barren rocks to which the necessities of the set
tiers have driven them. The bill setting apart
certain amount of land for the use of these tribes
having failed before the Legislature, Major Fl.
concluded to settle them temporarily upon lands
offered for that purpose, and Gen. Harvey. 10
command of the Department, heartily acquiesced
in the plan, only STIMULATING that the Indians so
settled should be confined to certain defined
tract, and held responsible for oil de2redations
committed below that line. Thus. the Lipans
have been located upon the head waters of the
Nueces and to be- provided with agricultural
implements and the necessary teachers. The
other Indians, such as the Camanches Wacoes,
Wishitas, &c., remain to be settled, and arrange
ments are now being made for that purpose.

A NEW FEATuRE.-We are informed on re-
liable authority that on Sunday last at the White
Oak Church, in Stafford county, after the religi.
Gus services were over, Governor Smith, the De-

electioneering and something never before heard
of in Virginia. we publish 1t for the benefit of
the candidates at large. We made up our

nounced another concert. Emboldened by the
success which attended their first effort-encou-
ragged by the applause of their fellow-ci citizens,
and in accordance with what seems TO be the
general desire, they will give another Musical
Entertainment in the First Presbyterian Church
Tuesday evening. We trust the second con-
cert will meet with the same evidences of popular
favor which were SO heartily bestowed upon
the first. The programme selected for the oc-
casion WILL we doubt not be found quite as at
trhctIve, aud tie performers more perfect
because having passed the ordeal of public
debut they naturally feel less embarrassment
We trust, then, every lover of music in the city
will represent Tuesday evening. Let those who
possess a ear for music as we'll as those who
have acqureda taste for that delightful science at
tend. The Society may be induced, by proper
encouragement, to give series of musical en-
tertainments during each season. We have album
dant talent among us to produce entertainments
of the highest degree of excellence. All that
is now wanting is proper tlaining-rigid practice
Encourage the Society properly, and in few
years, instend of relying as we now do, almost
wholly upon foreign artists for amusements of
this kind, we shall enjoy the satisfaction of at
tending excellent concerts given by native resi-
dent artists.
We have alluded above to those who possess
Il taste for music in contradistincton to those
gifted with an ear for music. Some may be dis
posed to cavil at this distinction. To all such
we would say, in the language of Coleridge. that
''an ear for music is a very different thing from
tnste for music.' "And he proceeds to mark the
distinction in his own case, thus: 81 have no ear
whatever; could not sing an air to save my life;
but have the intensest delight in music, and can
detect good from bad. Nald good fellow, re-.
marked to me once at concert that | did not
seem much interested with piece of Rossini's
which had just been performed. l said it sounds
ed to me like nonsense verses. But [ conld
scarcely contain myself when thing OF Beet
hoven's followed" The distinction is most aptIy
drawn.
