Mrs. CLARK's CoNcERT.-The programme for
this concert at Brinley Hall, tomorrow evening,
contains very choice selection of the best pieces,
and is calculated to bring out the resources of the
company, and afford rich and varied musical
banquet. Madame Clark will sing the "Casta
Diva" from La Norma; the English ballad,
The Dream;" the celebrated English cavati-
ma, "The Birding" which calls out unbounded
applause whenever she sings it Meyerbeer's
"Gpsey Song and Donzettis celebrated duett,
Dear Home Beloved" with Signor Clementi.-
The latter sings, also, cavatina of Donizetti's
Wallace's song Why do l Weep for Thee :"
and the " Marseillase Hymn" These, will the
gems which will be given by Apply on the violin,
and Dressler on the piano forte, should satisfy
the most fastidious and exacting. If we are to
credit the entire expression of the press, in New
York and other cities South and West, this com
pany is one of very decided musical ability, and
the concert will be one of the highest order. We
are informed that Signor Clement gives the
Marseillaise with power and effect such as
no other singer now before the public in this
try is capable of. Brnley Hall will probably be
crowded on the occasion.

A FILLMORE PAPER OUT FOR Fremont
Reasons far the ChaRge-H01c Willard lCas
Elected The Jacksonville Republican. one
of the original Fillmore papers of Indiana, ap,
peared on FRIDAY morning with the Fremont
and Dayton banner flying at its mast head
The Republican gives very good reasons for the
change--the substance of which is SIMPLY that
it regards the contest between Fremont and
Buchal an, ard between freedom and slavery,
the recent elections having convinced it that
there is no chance for Mr.. Fillmore, and that
the leaders Of the Fillmore party in Indiana
have been sold to the BUCCANEERS. We make
, the following extracts from the Republicans
recantation articles -
." We are now fully satisfied in our own
mind that the Southern leaders are using Blu
chanan and his party with the avowed pur-
pose of dissolving this Union. We are forced
to the conclusion because they tell us so -
What then are we to do to defeat his disunion
party ; As we said in former issue, when
the question assumes shape that places Free
mont and Buchanan before the people as the
represent atives of those principles, our posi-
ton is already known. We are for freedom
and Fremont. We hoisted the name of Mil
lard Fillmore four months before he was nom-
: mated, and kept his name at the head of our
paper in living capitals, until the present is
sue, and would have continued it, but for the
disposition manifested by TIE old line bogus
Democracy. Every free man should then unite
upon the man that will be the most likely to
defeat Buchanan, the disunionist, and we con-
ceive that man to be Mr.. Fremont

RESURRECTION IN MEXICO We have official
particulars of conspiracy in Colorado county,

of the entire white population, with the sig
niticent exception of the young ladies, who,

the authority of a Committee of Investiga-

negroes were concerned in the plot. although
only three were executed "with the unani-

country believe, with an intent to kill. Now,
sir, I see that VERY RESPECTABLE
AND EXCELLENT GENTLEMAN from
Massachusetts has in his hand e cane of the
ordinary size for gentleman of his age. and
beg him to raise it for the inspection of the
member from New Jersey. [MR. DEWITT
ELEVATED HIS CANE Now, sir, ask
that member to answer as gentleman beg
his pardon, that is word which he cannot
comprehend-but as man on the witness
stand, is not that cane double the weight and
thickness of the one used by me, and which
you have impudently and falsely called a
bludgeon : =
No remarks upon this scene could add to its
impressiveness, but word or two of explana-
ton may be needful. The scene occurred the
day previous to that on which Mr.. Dewitt
voted TO exculpate Edmundson. Whether
Brooks knew of Mr. DeWitt's favorable feel
ings towards his accomplice, and therefore
felt sure he would be willing to take part in
the tableau, or whether the Colonel's vote was
given out of gratitude for the compliment paid
to him by the chief culprit, must be a matter
of conjecture unless some explanation is af-
forded.
We frankly confess, that taken alone, we
should not consider this scene in the House,
as at all conclusive of COL De Wits weak
ness of backbone. But taken in connection
with the votes the day after, we do not see
how they can be explained, except upon the
hypothesis stated by Lowell in one of the Big
low papers, which we quote:
tBesides, there's a wonderful power in latitude,
To shift a mans morril relations an attitude
Some fossifers think tibet fakkilty's granted
The minnit it's proved to be thoroughly wanted
Tibet change o. demand makes a change o. condition,
An that everythings No thin except by position;
H. for instance, tibet rubber begun bearin
Wen p'htcle consumes come into wearl',-
Tibet the fears of mons ey, whose holt CHANGED to fail
Drawed the Vertibry out to prehensie tale;
So, wen ons choss to CONGRESS- he's in it,
collar grows right round his neck in a minnit
An sartin it is that cannot be strict
In bein' HIMSELF wen he gifts to the Deeshict,
Fer coat that sets wal in ole Massachusetts,,
Wen it gifts on to Washington, somehow askew SETS"
This matter between Col. De Witt and his
constituents is not however to be settled by
tableaux or satire like Biglow's, but by the
facts Of the case. These we have stated fair
ly and fully, and having placed them before
the. people, shall not probably have further oc-
casion to discuss the subject.

try to pick an American editor to place among
the corps of able writers attached to the coll
umns Of The Thunderer to select a person
sufficiently well informed to take charge Of
American affairs in that famous journal, and
write on that subject with the proper amount

on Thursday morning had a most fortunate
escape from terrible calamity. As the train

were engaged in hauling huge log across the

harnessed their team, md left the log directly
across the track. The engineer shut off the
steam and reversed the engine, while the fire.
man jumped from the train, and was followed.
by the two engineers and conductor. The en-
CINE which was Of immense weight and pow

ment, and striking the log, knocked il off the
track, and before tho passengers were aware
Of their danger, II was passed. Another &C.
count says the engine run with the log on the
COW catcher for quarter Of mile. The fro
man, It is thought, cannot survive tho effect
OF his leap; the engineer escaped unhurt;

the marsh and bog fires. In the vicinity of
Battle Creek, it is said that consumptive per-
sons have died in spasms, cattle have sufocat-

acres have been burnt over, and immense
damage has been caused to property. The
smoke was so dense, and the air so quiet for
few days, that many people lost their way ON
the public roads.
There arc extensive fires in the woods and
marshes of Canada, aud serious losses have
resulted. The smoke from them interferes
with the navigation OF the lakes.
