THE MUSICAL Society CoNcERT.-The Cons
cert Of the Cleveland Musical Society this evening
at the MelOdeon, will be as hne musical treat as
our citizens have ever enjoyed; 1t has become an
established fact that we have talent here which viii
not suffer by comparison with any from abroad,
aud the concerts Of this Society afford an excellent
opportunity for all to prove the correctness Of this
statement
The programme for this evening is one which
viii be very attractive. The voices will be Miss
Nellie Harris and Mr. ]. P. HolbrOok, both well
known and both special favorites. The former
will sing that beautiful ballad "The Song of Home,
and the latter the cavatina from "Il Bravo, while
Duet by the two will complete the vocal portion
Of the concert.
Prominent among the instrumental pieces is the
Tower scene from I'll Trovatore," BY Verdi

composer, Verdi, is one of those unique and bril-
liant gems which made the opera 50 fam GUS, pos
sessing, IS It does in the Highest degree, those
pecuIisr original musical idiOsyncrases, and won
derful dramatic characteristics which stamp the
compositions OF this master with a distinctive
beauty and its performance will be one Of the
leading features Of the evening. To those not fa-
miliar With the plot OF the opera it viii be inter-
estbg to know something oIthat part expressed

confined in the tower, and sentenced to death by
bis implacable enemy. In the opening Of the
scene. LeOnora, the betrothed Of TrOvatOre, ap-
pears, and breathes In song her agony and despair
Trovatore replies from the tower. This Is followed
by powerfully Expressive aadante passage, con-
sisting Of the performance Of the misererS by the
monks, during which the solemn tolling Of the
funeral bell Is heard the scene. closing with q
thrilling allegro movement by thefull orchestra.
Let the Hail be crowded with those who may
thus testify their appreciation Of the efforts Of the
members Of the Society, and the unWearied labors
of the excellent Conductor, Mr. F. <. Byeriy.

Possibly some Of our readers haye.rtad the
former work Of this author under the formidable
title specified above. II so, they have the advan-
tage of Us, and will probably be letter prepared
than We to understand the eouras of reasoning in
this book. The author stsrts out with The aSser-
tiOn that the geological system, as expounded by
Hugh Miller and his colaborers, is antt christian,
position that we are unwilling to admit. He
statesth the object Of this work is to show that
he (ths geOlOgstl has no more seen the beginning
than the end; tnat what be declares to science,
ia simply matter Of faith; that this faith is infe.
rior to the Biblical Christian faith, which the geOl-
ogists are endeayOring 10 overthrow and annhate,
if Lot in all its parts at least in its foundation and
material element" He then states the points at
issue Between the geOIogists and the biblical
Christans to be upon the preAdarnits fossils; the
former claiming them to be the result of plant or an
mal life and the latter that all such fossils we're made
By creative fat But the author forgets that earn
est, hearty, and conscientious Christians ofmodern
times have agreed with the geOlogists and at the
same time with the Bible. They do notbeEeve
that because the Bible account Of the creation says
the world was created in six days, that we must Of
necessity believe those days to be none other than
our days of tWenty-fOur hours. But we have not
space to discuss the matter or fully review the
book. We do not agree with the author, but give
him credit for ably pleading his cause.

Lieut.. Gov. Ru~h.

We notice a paragraph going the
rounds from the Fairfield Jefersonion
Dem. stating that Lieut.. Gov Rusch
has resigned his position owing to hav-
ing been appointed Emigrant Commits
sloner for the State at New York. Au-
other Democratic paper remarks that the
Republicans were sick of Mr.. Rusch. and
rot him appointed to this latter position
TO get him out Of the first! Now Mr..
Rusch has not resigned his Office Of l.,
Governor, and he is not going to do it
Moreover if he wanted to do so. his
friends wouldn't let him if they could
help it. There is no. the sligh,es. ne
cess''y for him res'gning an office which
he has filed so credtably, and had there
been any such necessity he would no,
have accepted the appointment of Com
missioner or Agent. Instead of the Re
publicans of the State being sick Of Mr.
busch, he is now more popular with
them than ever before better known
and therefore better liked and more
highly valued. -Dor. Gazette.

From Washington.

WASHINGTON, April Is.
The Tribune correspondence contains
Mr.. Buchanan celebrated letter of July
18th, 1857, to Robert J. Walker, then
Governor Of Kansas, with regard to the
submission Of the Lecomp,on Constitu-
ton to the people OF Kansas. Mr.. Blu
chanan says: You must Judge with
what satisfaction We received an account
Of the proceedings of the National Demo.
cratic Convention, held at Lecompton, on
the Sd lust. The point on which your
own success depends is the submission Of
the Constitution to the people of Kansas,
and by the people | mean, and | have no
doubt you men the actual bona fdc res
idents, who have been long enough in
the Territory to identify themselves with
its fate. o. this question OF submitting
the Constitution to the bona fide resi-
dents of Kansas, l am willing to stand
or fall. /. is the principle Of Popular
sovereignty and the principle of all pop
u ar gove, nments the stronger it will be-
come. Should the Convention of Kansas
adopt this principle, all will be settled
tremendously In another portion Of his
letter Mr. Buchanan reitcrates the doc
trine, saying, l would advise you to
make the great principle Of the submis-
sion of the Constitution to the bonn tide
residents of Kansas conspiciously prom
iuent, as in this you will be irresistible.
With the question Of climate, every per-
son is acquainted, and the more you in.
sist upon that, the more will our oppon-
cnts urge that We are violating the priu-
ciples of non Interference at the founda-
tion of the Kansas aud Nebraska Bill.
