Not having been among the invited guests,
Tin fact none Of the press was thus honored)
and presuming that the entertainment was
select, We could not overcome our natural diff
fdence by al intrusion. We do not, however,
complain of this, out merely mention our po-
sition as explanatory Of an absence Of further
mach joy to the Juveniles and the compare
lively few adults who were privileged to wit

and our praise Of the entertainments least
SO much Of il as We witnessed-sincere.

THE CONCERT, by the Marine Band, this
svening at the Presidents grounds, will doubt
ass be largely attended the weather being
beautiful, and the love Of instrumental melody
not having abated in this community. The
effects Of music are incalculsble, soothing
even the savage" according to the fancy or
the personal observation of tie poet, and GER
tainly promotive Of happiness to the civilized
and enlightened portion of humanity. Some
Of the losers Ct money on the result of the
late Virginia election might, in all proba
bility, be cheered in their dependency by
the performances of the following Pieces which
will constitute the programme: Grand Quick
step, Fra Diayolo Overture, Dolly Day Quick
step, Grand Terzetto, Duetto in Ernani
Evening Star Waltz; AS view these Scenes
30 Charming, from the opera Of Sonambula
horn solo L Eco du Monte Blanc Polka; Few
Days Quicks.ep, arranged for the Marine Band
by the leader and conductor, F. Scala.
WATCH RETURss.-0ur city has been re-
msrkably quiet every night during the past
week. Even the excitement caused BY the
election in Virginia has lot been sufficient to
draw our people from the path Of rectitude.
There has been some little contention; but 8
kind word Of advice has settled every Raisun-
derstanding No political controversy has cre-
ated riot ss yet, and We believe our citizens
hsEe too nuch good sense to permit il to do
30. Our day ard night police certainly de-
serve credit for tie manner in which they
have performed their duties as gentlemen and
officers, of there has been 10 necessity to
record single United States or Corporation
case at the guard house since the Goth inst.
