We regret that VIC are compelled to enter
our dissent from this important document.
Let Gov. Yates policy be carried out, and

the whole country. He is in favor of sub

taking armed possession of the seeded

This vast sum is to be used to place the

The Governors recommendation to pass

for war, but while some of the speakers
believed that the war should be waged for
the abolition of slavery, others took the
more Gignifed and patriotic stand Of vim

HAS EOyejOy Volunteered Yet?
While patriots are rallying in defense of

cannot learn whether our Congressman has
proved his fidelity to our flag. VIII some of
his friends inform US whether he has VOL

CLASSICAL SHNPHOuE CoNcERr-ws are.
informed that a classical symphony concert
will be given in this city in the course Of a
fortnight under the direction Of Prof. L.
Ritter. The programme is finely selected,
consisting Of symphonies of Beethoven and
Mozart and Weber's grand concerts fer
piano and orchestra, with other choice So
l%ections from the great masters. lr
We have bad very few instrumental classic
entertainments during the past season, and
to fill this vacuum is the object of the must
clans who propose the present concert. We
hope and think the entertainment will be
largely attended, and feel confident that it
will be a musical repast of a high order.
NATIONAL THEATER.-This evening is set
apart for the benefit of Miss Sallie st. Clair,
who will appear in the beautiful drama of
the Fairy Of Home which won so much favor
last season from the habitues of the Opera
house, the farce of C~oHtentment VS. Riches
concluding the performance.
MELoDEoN HALI.--Madame Fabbri's class
ical and sacred concert will take place at the
Melodeon, this evening, when she will be
assisted by Signora Rosetta, the mezzo. So
prano, Charles r. Adams, the tenor, and
Herr Mulder, the eminent pianist. The pro-
gramme is well calculated to display the
capacities Of the performers, and those who
attend will doubtless enjoy themselves.
RUMsEY h NEwCoMB's ETHIOPIAN MIN
sTRELs.-Next Monday evening, as will be
seen by an advertisement, Rumsey & New

by the immense houses that have greeted
it during the past week, Notwithstanding
the very disagreeable weather. Unsworth's
originality and eccentric wit have stamped
him one of the first comedians of the age.

TRE WEATHER AND ITS EFFECT ON Trade.
The weather yesterday assumed a better ap-

was most gratifying. During the entire day
the dry-goods houses were filed with Gus
TONERS, and the sales made were much
heavier than on any previous day this year.
The wholesale business, which does not
depend upon the weather, has been rapidly
augmentiDg for several weeks. The hotels
are all crowded with country merchants,
many of them being compelled to turn away
a large number of applicants for aecOmmo.
dations. In every respect, business appears
as active as is usual this time in the year.

BUSINESS MEN's PRAYER MEETING AT SMITH
attendance at this meeting, yesterday morn
ing, and more than usual interest mani
tested. The exercises commenced with the
singing of the Fortieth Hymn, and the read
ing of the latter portion of the sixth and
beginning of the seventh chapter of Mark.
In reference to the passage read, it was
remarked, by one, that the text, "Take 10
thought for the morrow" might be better
understood, if the word "anxiety" was sub
stituted for Thought" He related an in
stance, in point, of a wealthy man in this
city who had become so absorbed in bust
ness that, upon the breaking out of our re-
cent national troubles, he was scarcely able
to sleep for weeks, and, at once disposed of a
large portion of his real estate for gold,
which be regarded as a safe support for him
self and family. How much happier is he,
whose hopes are centered in Heaven, and TO
whom the chances and changes of earth can
be of little moment
Another speaker was forcibly struck with
the Savior's manner and skill in judging
human character, which afforded one of the
best evidences of his divinity. This was
veryremarkably illustrated in his intercourse
with the Pharisees He, who had penetrated
the lowest depths of the human soul, had
said, Judge not" and it would be well for
man to beware. 1t was a good rule, always
to consider that 'men are better than they
appear"
Several incidents were related, tending to
| show the deep feeling of unrest which inhab-
its the soul OF the unconverted, and the
sweet comfort and peace" which dwells in
the breast Of the Christian. A few days ago
a man had come TO the house Of a gentleman
in the city, in great distress Of mind, and
begged his pray ers. After receiving all the
instruction ard comfort that could be given.
prayer was offered, and he departed. Yes
terdsy be had returned to thank the gentle
man for what he had done, and to %announc
his intention of ~leaVingthe city Immediately
He had despAired of being able to reform

HENRIE HoUsE.-This popular hotel is
still crowded with country merchants. The
plea of hard times tends to increase the pa
tronage of this hotel, as merchants who have
been paying 81 so and 50 per day at other
hotels, with no better accommodations, find
it as convenient to save their money by
stopping at the Henrie at only 81 per day.

ARREST OF A THIEF. - Joseph Boswell
was last night arrested on.a charge of break
ing into the store of Joseph & Co., on Main
street, between Sixth and Seventh, a few
days since, and stealing $50. 1t appears
that the clerk of the establishment was
standing in the front door, when Boswell
climbed in at a back window and took the
money from a drawer. He was discovered,
but not in time to arrest him, nor secure the
money. He was seen by the clerk, and
pointed out to the police, yesterday, and was
Immediately taken into custody.

ing an inquest, yesterday, over the body Of
Charles Stanfield, mate of the Sunny Side,
who was killed at the Monongahela House,
