MATTERS ABOUT TOWN.

A PORTLAND Boy.--We find in New
York paper the following notice of concert
given in that city by Mr.. Jno. X. Paine, OF
! Boston, for the benefit of the Sunday School /:
Mr.. Paine is young organist, born in Port
land, Me-, and educated at Berlia, where he
studied three years to such good purpose that
he is certainly the finest interpreter OF the
true organ schoolof music at present claiming
the honorable title of american 1t is but
two years since his return, and he has now a
reputation throughout the American world OF
musicians and amateurs which many others
have taken five and ten years to obtain His
audience on this occasion consisted, in great
measure of prominent musical characters,
both professional, editorial aud private, aud
they were treated TO a feast such as is rarely
enjoyed in this crazy whirligig city of Italian
re-hashes and sensation virtuosity perform
ances.
This is hardly the place for a severely crti
cal notice of such classical and scientific
specimens of the art of which Mr.. Paine's
efforts were an exponent, but VIC must men
ton that the principal features OF his pro-
grainmc were the last movement Of Bach
"7fio Sonata" in 4 fiat, the same composers
"Toccatd In r." and Mr. Paine's own concert
piece on the Austrian Hymn
The rapidity, clearness and nerve OF his
execution are truly remarkable, and his play
ing Is singularly free from the common muddi-
ness and indistinctness SO distressing in most
organists, who are not more than half edu-
Gated. The applause last night was both fire.
quent and spontaneous, especially after the
grand Toceata in +, the pedal playing in
which we consider one of the most remarkable
performances we have ever witnessed.
We hope to welcome Mr.. Paine again in
our city, on similar occasion, before many
months.

From the RicIsntoad Enqaiser- Exchange OF
Pris0uers.

From the Richn.oad Eaguirer-Erckange OF
Pris0aers.
WASHINGTON, Dec. "a.
The Richmond Enquirer Of the 18th says
that our government has abandoned every
point, excepting the treatment Of negro pris-
oners. Now the simple truth is, our govern
ment has not abandoned any point; it is
known that Maj. Gen. Butler, who has super
seeded Gen. Meredith as the agent or medium
for the exchange of prisoners, has no such in
structions. The prisoners at Fort Norfolk,
McHenry and Point Lookout, have been
placed under his orders and he is authorized
TO conduct the exchange man for man and
officer for officer of equal rank with those
paroled and sent forward by himself. The
object is TO make an even exchange as far as
the prisoners in the rebel possession will per-
nit, and, governed by humane motives, the
effort will be made TO procure the release Of
those who have for the longest time been held
as prisoners. Colored troops and their officers
in conducting the exchange will be placed on
AN equality with all the troops, and so OF col
ored men in civil employment. This is one Of
the points hereafter to be adjusted. The
honor and dignity Of the government In the
protection Of sach colored persons and their
officers viii not be compromised.

NEED OF A DRY Dock. There are or
were yesterday three vessels in our harbor
ready to 60 into dry dock, provided we had
one, for repairs. But this facility could not be
furnished them and they must 60 elsewhere to
have their repairs made. We would urge upon
our Mercantile community the necessity for
the erection of dry dock at this place. There
cannot be doubt that it will pay well, and be
good investment. Will not our Board OF
Trade take up the matter and act with their
