The FAST NIGHT CONCERT, by the Mozart
Society, was thoroughly good. All the cho-
russes gave evidence of long and faithful prac
tice, and the one "when thou CONTEST" from
Rosini's sublime "Stabat Mater" in which
Miss Fiske sung the air, was superlatively
good. A great many of the pieces were en-
cored, not one OF the songs failing of this an.
proval. In this way the audience obtained
greater variety, Mr.. Lawrence giving a hui
morous song after his "Infelice," MIR. A. S.
Allen Korner's Battle Prayer after his bass
solo from Mozart, Miss Muzzy repeating a
sweet German song, and Miss Fiske "The
Star Spaugled Banner" in response to
the decided encore which followed her
singing of "Casta Diva" Mr.. Benchley was
not on the programme, and appeared only to
fill place made vacant by indisposilon lie
did it promptly and well in the song, 1.-The

triotic song. The Mendelseohn concerto with
quintCtte accompaniment was very fine and

evening deserve hearty word of commenda.
ton. 'Et Incarnatus," quartette and chorus,
was one OF the superior performances among
the many. "DOna Nobis," from the Twelfth
Mass, fifty ended the concert, Mrs. Pierce
singing the solos most satisfactorily
We hoped to have seen a turnout worthier
the music and evideneing greater interest in
the society; but the many empty seats did not
effect the genuine enjoyment of all who were
there, nor can it deprive the members of the
society of the satisfaction that their part was
bravely done.

FARMERS CLUB.-At the last meeting of
the farmers club, the subject OF book farming
was discussed. Mr. Salisbury spoke at length
of the prejudice against "book farming" and
remarked that men like MIR. Everett, without
practical experience, could tell farmers and
mechanics many facts they did not generally
know about matters which concerned their
departments OF labor. And he had acquired
his information from books. Mr.. Chamber
lain alluded to Worcester farm which had
been unsuccessiully occupied by five different
men, the last of whom was an educated man
as well as practical farmer, and went to work
Understandings and made his farm Il pleasant
and profitable place. The discussion was par
ticipated in by AIessrs. Bigelow, Barnard,
Chafin, Hadwen, and others, when the sub
ject was postponed, to be resumed tonight at
the tanners room in the public library build
ing, and all interested are invited to attend.

FROM WASHINGTON.

WARRINGTON, Nov l0.-Nothing has as ye:
been received, either at the Navy Department
or from passengers arriving from Norfolk to.
day, confirming the reported capture of three
thousand rebels at Plymouth, N. c., by Gen.
Foster.
Ii Is ascertained that tho assignment of Gen.
Burnside to the command of the Army Of the
Potomac is without limitation. Hence the re-
ports that any General will take the position
recently held by Gen. Mcclellan. are not we'll
founded This is at least the present state OF
affairs.
There is nothing in the latest foreign inselli.
genoe to lead to on apprehension OF trouble be-
tween the United States and foreign powers in
connection with American affairs, unless 1t be
from the persistent course of English merchants
and SPECTATORS in ftting out ptivaseers to prey
upon American commerce.
All statements alleging 6isaffection in the
army in consequences OF change in the COM
msnd of the army of the Posomac, are pro-
nounced by those who have the best means OF
knowing, to be without foundation.

Evening and Midnight Reports.
Extracts from Gen. HaiIsCik's Letter.
HEADQUARTERS OF THE ARBY,
WAsBINGToN, Oct. %, 1862,

HEADQUARTERS OF THE ARSY,
WAsBiNGToN, Oct. %, 1862,
Hon. E. M. Stanton, Secretary Of War:
SIR-~In reply to the general interrog tories
contained In your letter of yesterday, 1 have
the honor to report, first, that requisltions for
supplies to the army under General Mcclellan
are made by his staff officers on the chief, of
Bureaus here, thatis, the Quartermaster applies
by his chief Qusrtermsster to the Quarter
msster.GeneFal for commissary supplies, etc.
No such acquisitions have, to my knowledge,
been made upon the Secretary Of War, and
none upon the General-in Chief.
Second. On several occasions Gen. McClel-
Ian has telegrephed me that his army was de-
hcient in certain supplies. All these telegrans
were Immediately referred to heads OF Bureaus,
with orders to report. There has not been, 60
far as could ascertain, any neglect or delay in
any Department. or Bureau In Issuing all the
supplies asked for by Gen. Mcclellan or by the
oiicers OF bis staff. Delays have occasionally
occurred la forwarding supplies by railroad, on
account OF the crowded condition OF the rail-
road depcte or Of want OF sufficient number
of cars.
Third. Soon after the battle Of Autiessm
Gen. Mcclellan was urged to give me informa.
ton of his intended movements, in order that
II ne moved between the enemy and Washing
ton the reinforcements could be cent from this
place. On the fret of October, finding that
he purposed to operate from Harper's Ferry,
urged him to cross the river at once and give
battle to the enemy, pointing out to him the
disadvantages OF delaying till the autumn rains
had swollen the Potomac and impaired the
roads. On the 9Th of October. he was perempt-
orily ordered to Gloss the Potomac and give
battle to the enemy or drive him South. said
to him, "Your army must move now while the
roads are in good condition" Il will be OBJ
served that three weeks has elapsed since that
order was given.
Fourth. In my opinion, tdere has been no
such want of supplies in the army under Gen
Mcclellan as to prevent his compliance with
my orders to advance upon the enemy. Had
he moved his army to the south side of the
Potomac, he could have received bis supplies
almost as readily as by remaining inactive on
the north side.
