The RICHMOND ENQUIRER, the organ of
tile rebel authorities, contained, on the Dist
ult., the following significant intimation of the
policy which is likely soon to be established
at the seat of tile Confederate" governm emit,
if the rule of iron has not already begun -
at seems to us that aliens should now be re-
CURED to take the oath of allegiance to our
government, and that the same test of loyaby
might ceTy jHdiciousLy be applied to those amongst
as aolto are kqonn to haze voted eeo brief months
ago, against the ratification Of the ordnance of Sc
ceSsion. Many Of our aoedbiy men opposed seces
sion to the last, and may be still opposed to separa-
lion and southern independence. If this class be
not attended to, and if, by one of the vicissi.
tudes incident to war, the enemy should han
pen, for however brief a season, to approach
the capital, Ue might hare the spectacle of at least
another nucleus Of feconstructionists.' They
would come out OF their holes and offer pro-
lection to the fearful, or attempt 10 intimidate
the timid non.combatants. We should pro
vide for every contingency, and all who are
not friends are enemies. Not only all the
wealth, but all the blood OF the south, is
pledged for the redemption of our country.
The man who will not fight, and he who dares
to depreciate the credit of the government. are
alike TRAITORS"

bales of hemp. The bales were placed with
the ends facing our Qualifications, affordng a

Mr.. ALIENS CONCERT. - On Saturday
gratified large party of his friends with
musical entertainment, characterized by the
best taste, both in the selection and the per-
formance. Surely the cause of music owes
more to this gentleman than to all the graui-
tous service ever rendered here. Not demand
ing any reward, he is at liberty to exercise his
own refined taste in the substance and manner
of the treat which he so generously bestows.
Consequently we have never to regret the
introduction of anything of the mere I'D cap
tand,m to move the boisterous applause of that
large class in every community who have no
idea in music beyond rhy thmical noise.
The grand names of Bach, Haydn, and
Beethoven were duly honored, while, second
only to Them, shone conspcuously Rossini,
Chopin, and Won Weber.
A voice, new to our public, won admiration
in the Prayer from eli, /" and in the exquisite
duet from "Stabat Mater" added itself to the
familiar voice OF iavorte singer, with beauti-
full effect. Messrs. Burt and Stearns are
steadily improving, so that we hope great
things fcr them on their respective instruments.
Mr.. Allen himself gave two fine pieces, with
all that vigor and delieacy which is never
wanting when he takes his seat at the piano.
We give the programme -
