mately the effect OF the free movement Of
Breadstnffs 10 the seaboard, and the return
trade in merchandise this Summer and Fall
ought to be liberal one.
HThe entries of Foreign Dry goods are
now so light that a sensible reduction of
present stocks is anticipated, and it may be
that some description Of Goods will become
scarce as the season advances. The import
of General Foreign Merchandise has been
running fair through the Spring months,
and up to the present time in June, but with
the exception Of o few leading staples, like
Sugars Teas and Coffee, the sales are slow,
| and the results to the importer not satisfac-
tory. There has been a partial advance on
the recent very low prices of Sugar, and as
the impression gains ground that Congress
| will impose war.tax upon Coffee aud Tea,
these articles are held with more firmness.
"The Import entries of the past week
amount to 1850, 982 against SO, sos, 5l3 the

tive State, want you TO follow, or shall
have to 20 alone" Colonel McCook stopped
him, or he would in all probability have
slaughtered the whole body Of two hundred
and fifty men, by running them into the fire
of the batteries.
The conduct of Colonel McCook showed
him to be a mau who knows his business,
but Schenck is another General Pierce. The
affair at Great Bethel and the one at Vienna
are worthy of being placed side by side ia
the category Of blunders, which are caused
by the Government placing politicians in
high military offices, for which they are
totally unfit and to which they had no
claims, except the part they took in placing
the present Administration into power. In
doing this they are overriding men in the
regular army, who have grown gray in the
service, and the most Of whom, at least
know better than to lead their men into the
very jaws of cannon and into the valley of
death, when there is no necessity for such
action, and no chance for victory to pay for
their lives.
If the Government persists in placing mill
tary power in the hands of such men, am
very much afraid the rebels will out-geaeral
us, for there is no doubt they have good
leaders.
forgot to say, in regard to the fight, that
it occurred between four and five o'clock, on
Monday afternoon. Tuesday morning, the
Second regiment broke up their camp and
came to our present camp, which is on the
same railroad, about four miles from Vienna;
our old camp was obout eleven miles from
Vienna.
There are two Connecticut Regiments en-
camped close by, and the New York Eighth
andNew York Sixty ninth are also close by US.
The First and Second Ohioare together. The
rebel forces are very near US, as they can be
seen from heoutposts Of the Connection boys
camp. Night before last we we're expecting au
attack, and had orders to retreat to Arlington
Nights in case Of an attack. ! should not be
surprised if an attack were made on Wash
iDgton in less than two weeks; every thing
looks that way at present. Colonel Hardie
is reported by our scouts to be within four
miles ofus, and Beauregard is, think, with
out doubt at Manassas Junction.
Colonel Wilson has received a commission
as Captain in the regular army.
Since we have been in Washington we
have received new muskets, which are
somewhat better than our old ones. We
have also received a new uniform, which is
little better than our old one, but in regard
to money we have not received a red cent

Miss RowcRoFT's CoNcERT.-Tf as has
been said, the test of merit is success, then
does Miss Emma Rowcroft possess merit I;
for the Concert at Smith & Nixon's Hall last
night was, all things considered, a success.
An ssaudience, fair in respect of numbers
and appearance, and liberal in applause as
sembled to greet the first public appearance
here of young lady who, a few years ago,
went from among us girl, bearing the kind
wishes of many friends,
Undoubtedly many of those friends were
among the audience last night, anxious to
ascertain if the promise of the lady's youth
full talents had been fulfilled, and their YER
dict if it were truthfully represented by the
manifestations of applause, was in the high
est degree favorable.
Nevertheless we apprehend q portion, at
least, of this kind reception, must be attribu-
ted to personal regard, for the performance
barely merited IL.
Miss Rowcroft is good, but certainly not
a great singer.
Her voice, pleasant mezzo-soprano, has
evidently been assiduously cultivated chiefly
in the upper notes, but it lacks power, and
is much better fitted for the drawing. room
than the concert hall. She sings with ease
at least, without apparent phyical effort and
manages her voice with considerable skill
Evidently she labored under the serious dis
advantage of what is technically termed
"stage fright" which compelled an unpleas-
ant cOnstraint of manner, and was te some
extent perceptible even in her voice. AL
though gradually reasured by the generous
greetings constantly renewed, it was moi
until nearly the close of the entertainment
that she appeared fully at her ease and en-.
tered more entirely into the spirit of heI
songs.
To what extent this timidity really af
fected her execution, of course we can moi
tell. AT first we were inclined to pronounce
her unsympathetic, but this impression
gradually weakened toward the close.
The "Shadow Song" from Dinorah, and
the little Irish ballad, called "Katie's Let
ter" eVinced more sympathy with the spirit
Of the subjects than any that preceded them
although, as piece OF artistic execution the
VaLse du Concert of Venzano was uudoubt
edly superior to either.
Whether the lady's talent is better suited
to ballad singing, or whether she is capable
of winning laurels ON the lyric stage, car
not be judged from last nights performance
OF the gentlemen who assisted Miss Row
croft, Messrs. Smith and Appfelbaum arr
too well-known here to need any remark.
Mr. Henry Hahn's performance on the vic
LIN was very good, and Mr. Critters accom-
! payments on the piano were played will
his usual skill and taste.
