The Concert.

The Concert.
We attended the youths concert on Fri
day night and enjoyed the exercises very
much. An intimate acquaintance with the
children of McGregor and a great parliality
towards them may warp our pen, but VIC
will hazard the charge Of favoritsm by stat.
ing as we have heretofore done, that there is
no equal number of little folks in America
that can excel our McGrcgor flock in apt.
tude, intelligence and grace Of action. To
the older guides they are indebted for in
struction, but there is a sort of .tastaess iii
we may so express it, about the children
that renders the business of training them
both easy and pleasant The crowd of mat
ter, public and personal, in our columns,
prevents us from giving an extended notice
of the performance. 1t is always labor Of
love to speak commercially of children
because it makes us happy, at the same
time it infuscs spirit Of emulation in their
young h arts, that is productive Of great
good in future life. Praise the young (as
UeU as the old) and you prompt them to
deeds corresponding with the credit you
give them-scold and growl at them and
they regulate their conduct to fit the
charges you make against them. This rule
has its exceptions but they are rare.
We cannot name the orators, oratrcsses,
and singers, without referring to all of them
and that, our little readers will readily see,
would take up too much space in our Times.
The parts We're all well performed and the
sales Of tickets showed commendable in.
terest in our Volunteers. There were some
actors on the stage that night who exhibited
extraordinary capacity both in the serious
and the comic, but it would be invidious to
name those who cxcelled; we therefore leave
each one to think th,t the wreath is due t.
her or himself.
We have learned that Masters Allison
Hammer and Henry Gay were prepared
with original addresses pertinent to the times
and the occasion, but either from want OF
time or some other cause, they did not de-
liver them. On the next public display Of
a similar character we will have the pleas
ure Of hearing them.

MORE TRooPs.-Thc rendezvous for Nortl,

in suitable apparel for the approaching hot
weather (if it comes). Persons in the coun-

going Immediately to Clermont and making
arrangements with these enterprising men
for their spring supplies, not only in the
wearing way, but in the eating, toy, medi.

of their advertisement VIC believe they keep
nearly everything needed by human beings,

The Border State proposition is the old Mis-
souri, Compromise, with the addition of a stipuIa-
ton that neither Congress nor the Territorial I.e-
gslatures shall either introduce or exclude sla-
very South Of 36o 30', but leave the institution to
fight its way in the courts, and before the peo-
pie when they come to form State Governments
The proposition OF Mr.. Adams, of Mass achusetts
looks 10 the immediate admission of New Mexico as
a state, with such Constitution the people may
frame at Convention next autumn: also to the
Incorporation into the Constitution of a guarantee
that the Federal Government shall never interfere
with slavery In the States. There is little differ
ence between the supporters of the Border State
and the Adams propositions, and all who would
sustain one of them would sustain the other, prob
ably, if necessary to provide an adjustment of the
pending national issues.
OF course in this list some are left out whose po-
tica status never is known until thev discover
which course the majority will pursue. few
doubtful gentlemen are counted among those
who are willing to make accommodating terms
with the Border States, as they will undoubtedly
be found voting thus when a vote upon the subject
is reached This class includes both Republicans
and Democrats, who are willing to accept some one
or all the measures that have been proposed
Those who are set down against compromise,
are those gentlemen who by their words and votes
upon the few test questions that have arisen, have
thus far exhibited disposition to yield nothing to
the Southern States to "make concessions to the
slave power" as they term it.
1t is not to be presumed that this canvass strict
y correct, but the result stated is certainly not far
from the present complexion of the House What
effect may be had upon members by events of
the ensuing week, before the end of which a vote
cannot probably be reached, cannot be foreseen.-
Should the Border States demand more than has
been already offered them, the anti-compromisist
will have majority of the House at once. Should
the same moderation prevail which has marked the
past week in the House, almost any one Of the
present pending propositions, except Mr.. Critten-
dens, will receive large majority of the votes of

Chung Wang, the chief of the Chinese rebellion.

predicting that the Tartar dynasty will soon be
swept away, and inviting Americans to open COM
mercIai relations and send ministers to the ports of
