pieces performed, convinced all present, that the
students in music at this Institute enjoy superior
instructions. Three of the pieces performed, viz,
Flowers Of May, dedicated to the Editor of the INDIE
pendent, Carolina quick step, an1 Sampson quick
step, were composed by Mr.. stFadela, principal Of
the musical department, and were received with
laundering applause. We know of no institution
in the country where there are better chances of
ceving correct instructions in music than in this In.
stitute. There are many very fine looking speci-
that all the classes receive thorough Instructions If
they should not attain the first grades of scholar
ship it will not be in the want of the best means of
instruction. We glad to see and know, however,
that the young ladies of this school show prof.

Distribution i'm virginia.

The elections in Virginia will take place on the
2sth, the Know Nothings having made distribution
the main test. We shall see how that staunch re-
publican State will deal with the humbug We see
it stated that Wings there are coming over to the
Democratic party, on the distribution question. The
Charlottesville Jefersonian states that many Wings
in Amherst county have taken this step-and the
Martinsburg Republican states that Lemuel Vanors-
dali, the Know Nothing representative from Morgan
county in the last House of Delegates, would have
been nominated for reelection, by County Con-
vention, on the first ballot but for his having de-
cared himself opposed to distribution. johnson
Orrick, Esq, received the nomination.
We do not wonder at old line Wings taking
ground against Know Nothing policy. They know,
in the first place. that distribution is mpracticable
and in the second place. they have no confidence in
the Know Nothing leaders, and will not 60 with
them.
