MEssRs. EDIToRs The criticism
signed =, in the Daily Gazette, of the 25th
inst, on Mr.. Hulfs gift concert, exhibited a
meanness and jealously on the part of its
author, and those who heard the concert
will pronounce it a contemplate fling at Mr.
Hull and his force of vocalists.
Aperson possessing even an ordinary ear
for music, is competent to pass upon the
question of harmony or discord, as applied
to given musical performance
Now, if the looks, actions and interests
so visibly manifested by the audience,
the night in question. and that too through
the whole evening, speak anything, they
conclusively show the fact that the audience
appreciated and were delighted with the
entire programme, and when this cynic
critic sagely says: in one or two pieces th G
singing was fair, in others decidedly slop.
enly, and in more than one instance horri6i,
out Of tune, it Is patent either. that thi.
reviewer himself, was horribly out of tune
with the balance Of the attentive audience
or else that he maliciously bslied the
performers and wsntonly outraged their
feelings.
As this critic says, he over came al
'scruples' in order to attend this concert
This furnishes solution to the whole mat
ter. This critic is not the first person who
has seen q mote in his brothers eye.
In conclusion would advise him, if de-
sirous Of having reputation of possessing
musical ear, and not the ear commonly
possessed by we'll known Animal, in order
to guard his nervous system from the shock
of hearing even " "slovenly singing" or pie
ces horribly out Of tune" or sccompani
ments shockingly done," or songs executed
in - style not Scottish (D, hereafter te

st. Louis, Dec 23
An express recently arrived at Leaven
worth from the Utah Expedition, brings in
formation that the whole force with the ex-
ception of Col, Cooks command is concen-
trated at Blacks Fork, and were moving
towards Fort Bridger. They progress very
slowly, sometimes making only two or
three miles. per-day. Their animals were
giving out hourly, and it was thought all
would perish this winter. The supply
trains are all with the military and provis-
ions abundant.
The report that two companies of infant
~ met with reverses en- route to Utah is
without foundation.
Five companies of Col Summers regiment
first cavalry were taken into winter quart
ers at Fort Riley.
