CHELSEA CoNTINENTALs.-Our great char
ity concert was success, SO far as it depended
upon the services of the Continentals, or the
satisfaction of those who attended it, That
Mechanics Hall was not packed must be at
trlbuted to that common scapegoat the wealth
er-thiS time, justly. While we all regret it,
and have the right to grumbe about it to our
hearts content, let us not forget what was gain
ed. Our Chelsea friends did their best to be-
friend the orphan and they will receive the
never failing reward of such service; their
hearers were delighted; and the ChiIdrens
Friend Society will be aided SO it was
charity thrice blessed
We envied our grandfathers the endowment
of that evening. Music was to them more
than it ever can be to us, so few, in comparison
were the objects to draw off their attention
and now, associated as this music is with SO
many memories, how could they be other
wise than deeply moved But when the
Colonel brought the olden times visibly
before us with his pitch pipe and his choir,
the youngest was as attentive as the eldest.
The selection of tunes was nearly the same
as last year; and contained the very best of
the "antient psalmody." And they were well
sung We ought not to suppress an express
ion of the universal satisfaction with the singing
of the lady who gave us my Mothers Song"
and who led off so sweetly and spiritedly in
"Miriam's Song" We will not forget our
venerable friends who did such ample justice
to the tune of Worcester, as to deserve the
encore they received. "Jehovah's Praise"
Strike the Cymbal go forth to the Mount"
and the "Tenor duet" were all well received.
We missed some of the costumes of last
| year, but we were glad to see the turban so
conspicuous. Whether our satisfaction with
it should be attributed to the beauty which
shone so fair beneath it; or to its "eternal
fitness" we shall not decide. We state the
fact and leave our readers to construct the
| theory

the case SO utterly hopeless that they
made no effort, while from their quietness
and inactivity the republicans took alarm,
imagining tina. it was only on the surface,
and that the democrats were playing q
deep game to hull the republicans into
faucied security The consequence was,
tha, the republican forces were thoroughly
aroused, and nearly their entire vote
brough, out, while the democrats, except
N two or three towns, got out less than
half their vote In La Sale, besides that
the democrats felt Indifferent, 80 refused
to vote at all on account OF local difficult
ties, SO that, instead of the usual 100 de
mocratic majority in that city, we are beat

Mas SENATOR DoUGIAs.-The rumor that
was current III this city last week, of the
serious illness Of Mrs. Senator Douglas
which caused so many hearts TO sadden-
soon developed into the certainty that she
was in dangerous state, and that by her
physician and her husband, her life was
almost despaired OF. The rumor that was
flying from lip to lip of our citizens, on
Tuesday, and which took form in the an
nouncement in some of the papers yester-
day morning, to the effect that she was
dying, or perhaps dead, was, we are happy
to state, probably an exaggeration of her
case. She was on Sunday and Monday
extremely low; but at time, as we
learn, was she thought to be dying And
it gives us great pleasure to be able to in
form the public that now she is thouehtto
be slightly amending, and considerable
hopes are entertained of her recovery
! Such is the latest intelligence by the tele-
graph, as sent by Senator Douglas himself,
to his kinsman, Mr.. Spencer c. Benhsnl,
of this city 1t will be gratifying intelli-
gence surely, to this whole communicate
which she is so well known and so much
admired and beloved. All, too, will hope
for herspesty restoration to perfect health.
