There is better state of things in college now.
Music is at least beginning to be recognized. The
government have gone so far as to appoint an in

in proper training. recent concert gave evidence
of higher musical culture among the students
than past experience led us to expect. The vocal
selections were mostly OF a high order; and the in

taste in treatment.
The "Pierians'' are no longer a mere flute club;
they numbered upon this occasion three good vio-
Inns forming the lett wing); a cello (worthiy pre-
siding in the centre, with steady and controlling
dignity; two flutes plus one cornet, for the right
wing; the whole hanked by grand piano played
by four hands: just nice little ochestra for the
graceful Strauss and Lumbye waltzes. These were
played with precision, delicacy and spirit which
showed skill enough to master higher kinds of
music, with the addition of few more instruments

toms columns arrived at Mohar, opposite the Shor-
apore Chat on the 30th. Brigadier Carthew, with
small force, had marched for the same point on the
10Th of May.
Some apprehension is entertained that the rebels
in Barcitch may more attempt to seize Luck
now The garrison of that city, originally 5000
men, contributed part of the column with Lugard
and the whole of the column which, under Sir H.
Grant, has proceeded to relieve Colonel Rowcroft
who with a very insufficient force, is watching the
great body of Sepoys and rabbe still collected in
Fvzabad If this body and the Bareitch rebels
marched simultaneously the city, Mr.. Mont
gomery might have to sustain the third siege of
Lucknow. On the 10th of May a very large body
oftroops, with infantry, cavalry and artillery,
within seven miles of the city, which contained just
1000 effective Europeans and the Volunteer Cav
airy. They will hardly, however, venture an
attack The people, it is believed, will aid them
no more. Mr. Montgomerys acceptance of the
zemindaree system has conciliated the landhoders,
who have come in in numbers, and without them

Some of the New York journalists profess to be
very indignant at what they are pleased TO con-
slider great breach of hospitality on the part Of
the Baltimore military on the occasion of the re-
cent involuntary visit to this city, of the Seventh
Regiment" on its return from the funeral cere-
monies at Richmond. These gentlemen have
either been grossly misnformed as to the facts of
the case, they have wilfully perverted the truth
in regard to them. When it was first supposed
that the military escort of the remains the late
PRESIDENT MONROE would pass through Baltimore
measures were Immediately taken to ensure a
proper reception of our distinguished visitors, and
to pay them every possible attention while they
might consent to honor us with their presence

the officers of the New York Regiment, and ten
dered the hospitality of Baltimore to them but it
was promptly and politely declined, upon the

will not be quite ready to condemn, before tbev

GARZAS DEFEAT-PREPARATIONS FOR RESISTANCE TO
vIDAURRI'S CHAMPION.
We have been favored with perusal of some pri-
vatc correspondence received in this city from Tam
pco from the Sd of March to the 10Th of June, in
clusve). The principal part of the intelligence re-
lates to the ignominious defeat of Cara by body
of troops under the Indian General Mejia. After
describing the uniform of Meia's soldiers who wore
the motto 'Reigion or DEATH upon their caps, the
writer proceeds:
On the 18th Of May, early in the day, General
Meiia made spirited attack on GarZas forts, and
in less than five hours he had them all in his pos
session. He met with desperate resistance at a fort
called the ''Piochas.'' Mea rallied his in per-
son three times, and at the fourth he charged the
enemy at their head, being the first that leaped the
earthworks. The taking of this fort by Mejia
most shameful retreat, or rather flight, took place,
Cara and his chief officers being the first to aban
don the battle field leaving his soldiers to fight il
out best they could. Cara lost all his artillery
and munitions of war, and thirteen officers killed
On the other side the loss, including dead and woun
ed, was about ia men. Garza's total loss was
never known, as the dead of both parties were
burned in the bitches of the forts.
Mejia received a vote of thanks from the Board
| of Aldermen (Ayumtamiento) and a grand ball
given in honor of his victory, which, however
was not honored with his presence, for he said he
could not dance and enjoy himself while his soldiers
had no money, and his officers without the
means of appearing decently. few weeks after
