SENDING SUPPLIES TO TExLs.-The steamer Empire
City, which was chartered by the Government
about week ago, and has been receiving coal and
provisions since that time, now only awaits erders
from Washington to take her departure. Her mis-
sion, like that of the Daniel Webster has given rise
TO much conjecture, which, as usual, is very far
from the truth. The Empire City has been charter
ed for the purpose of taking enc hundred tons of
army stores to Indanola Texas for the subsistence
of the United States troops who are supposed TO
have accumulated at that port to the number of
over 900 men. The original intention was to ship
rations for 600 men for 20 days; but it was subse
quently thought best to increase the amount to
lions for 900 men for the same period-or 100 tons
An army officer will go out in the same steamer to
superintend affairs, but be will not be accompanied
by single soldier. The Empire City carries no
arms or ammunition. What her next move will be-
after she has reached ndianoa is known only the
authorities at Washington; but it is supposed, with
good reason that she will take 600 troops (a that
she can conveniently carrv) and bring them to New
York. This load, with that winch the Daniel Web
ster undoubtedly brought away, will diminish the
number of u S. troops in Texas to about 1900 men,
of which number about 700 constitute fine regi-
ment of cavalry. At last accounts thiS mounted
corps scattered all along the frontier and def
mite intelligence has not been received as to their
fate-whether they have surrendered by squads, or
have got together and determined to retain their
horses and arms against all attacks. They

great success, the delightful weather with the other
attractions insuring the large attendance which
would, doubtless, haze been given On the first
night but for the bad weather We have already
spoken of the merits of the various performers who
were the same as on the rstnight though the pieces
were some of them, changed. Its only necessary to
say that artists and amateurs all acquitted them
selves in such manner as to delight the the audi
ence and to satisfy the most fsstidious perhaps,
when the object was charity and the singers Tolun-
teers, any more discriminating Judgment than this
were better avoided.
RefrainIng, hewever, from criticizing the musi-
clans, we feel indsposed to exercise the same re-
serve regards the audiences at least we are DIS
posed to moot the the question whether the Nash
vile people are disposed to carry the privilege
of encore to an unreasonable extent con-
cert, however good, may be rendered too long,
and apart from that the physical energies
of the singers are sometimes taxed beyond
all reason this was particularly manifest when
the delightful young cantatriee who had lavished
her powers on the execution Of the difficult cava-
tina, Al non oungs, inexorably required to re-
turn to the orchestra and give the echo song Of
EcKERr which she did with the greatest COED nature
but evidently with painful effort. Now, we never
were young lady, and never expect to be, but if
we were we should question the gallantry, which,
under pretenee of paying compliment, called upon
us for extra work after we had exhausted our
efforts to please to render the renewed effort
actually painful.
The new music hall is now well tested, and we
presume viii hereafter be the regular place for
cOdcerts. We are gratihed to learn thst the PHIL
HARMONIC SocrETT have determined upon adopting it
for their concerts in future and that their last
cert of the present season viii be given in it on
Tuesday, the second of next month.
