The ST. Louis Republican of the 23d says " The
prospect for wheat in Southern Illinois is not so
discouraging as some have supposed. Al wheat
sown as early as the first and second week Of Sep

CoycFFr OF THE Rock CRY SILVER BAND-ThC
theatre was crowded Tuesday night with fashiona-
BILE and apprecative audience on the occasion Of the
Concert given by the excellent band above named
Most of the pieces went off admirably, and there
can be no doubt now entertained Of the very high
musical ability in the members Of the band. The
most favorable specimens in two opposite styles
were to our taste the quintette played in the first
mart. and the Webster Military Quicks.ep, witt
which .he second part was opened; the former
a beautiful specimen Of broad full harmony the
latter a dashing. spirited piece Of military music
The beautiful playing of Mr.. BELER in these pieces
as well as the technical skill manifested in Their
arrangement and in conducting their performance
altogether stamp that gentleman As a musician OF
ver- high endowments, and we cannot but regard
the Rock CITY Band an institution worthy OF all
consideration in Nashville.
A correct solo by Mr.. VoGT, and beautiful voca
quartctte cLastely and skilfully executed, by fou
gentlemen amateurs added much to the night
amuscmeuts Messrs. BENT and DoRNAN, withou
whom a concert in Nashville is never complete
contributed their valuable aid, and Mr.. WHEELER
pleasing tenor singer from Boston, appeared t
much advantage in an aria and duette from Luci
di Lamm crmOOr.
Two youthful soloists Violin and Piano. were
listened to with interest; the pianist especially
evincng natural musical genius with careful train
