The Concert and Leyee.

OS Thursday evening last, the Concert and
Levec at the Town Hall came of, as advertised.
The whole affair was gotten up in excellent
style and conducted in mastery manner
The music was well selected and scientifically
performed-Misses Andrews, Baileys and
Stoekards, holding the principal parts They
each acquitted themselves with great credit and
the execution Of their respective pieces elected
hearty applause Much credit is due to Dr.
Andrews for the handsome manner in which he
superintendent the evenings entertainment
At the close of the Concert, the "Levee" was
put on foot, and the young folks became sud-
denly endowed with great propensity to chase
the flying moments with their feet We were
an admiring looker-on, and by the silvery tones
issuing tween ruby lips were delightfully."- en-
tcrtained But we bravely withstood the spark
ling eyes which occasionally met our entranced
gaze, and came off victorious, with whole
heart-sweetheart-a candied one We regret
exceedingly, that the audience was not so large
as it should have been. Two societies met on
that evening, which many Of our citizens felt
compelled to attend, and therefore, the number
was small at the Concert We learn that the
profits of the entertainment amounted to about
fifty-one dollars.

To the Citizens of Lafayette County.

MR DAVID L. S. MosELY, Deputy Sheriff, who
is now visiting every portion Of the county, is
authorized as agent for the Intelligencer Office,
to receive subscriptions for our paper, and ex-
ecute receipts therefor. During the important
crisis that is now upon the country, events of
the deepest interest must frequently occur, and
questions Of great moment will be presented for
discussion; and Il will be our aim to furnish to
our readers the latest and most authentic intel
l;gence from every quarter and so to treat the
great questions of the day as TO shed upon them
all the light we can gather from every source
accessible to us. Considering the amount Of
reading matter contained in it, and the quality
of that matter, the Intelligencer is by far the
cheapestpaper in the State and we believe that
its circulation in this county, if its merits were
more generally known to our people, would be
largely and speedily extended. Our subscrip-
ton list is already very good one, but of course,
we desire still further to increase it.

The Confederate States Flag.

The first sight caught of the Confederate
States flag, We had on Saturday morning last,
on the East side of the square. We think it
much handsomer than Uncle Ssms's old grid
iron" pattern. Instead of the stars and stripes
we have the stars (7) and bars (S) Red, white
and blue. The revenue service flag Of the Con-
federate States consists of three broad bars
perpendicular, instead of horizontal, like our
National flag. The first bar is blue, and con-
tains seven stars; the second is white and the
third red Very Frenchy.

ously hurt but the 'iron-horse" was put hors
