GRAND CoNCERT.-The citizens of Ru.-
land and vicinity will be glad to learn that
the world-renowned pianist and composer
GoTrsCHALK, accompanied by the cele-
brated Prima Donna and universal favo-
rite, Nine AMALIA PATTI STRAKosCH, will
give Concert at the Town Hall in this
village on Wednesday evening next, June
Sd. Nothing need be said by us, beyond
the announcement of the names of the
performers, familiar as 6 household words
to all music-loving people, to insure the
filling of the hall to overlooking. We will
only append notice of one of Mr.. Cots
chalk's concerts in New York, from the
New York Tribune. In the course of
long article, it says:
Mr.. Gottschslk has Just given two
brilliant concerts at Niblo's Saloon. In
these he displayed a prodlgious power of
execution which places him beyond being
surpassed. In exactitude, clearncss, ra-
pldity, sorority, power of sweeping over
the keys, thrilling and iteratng notes, hu-
man fingers cannot surpass his He has
exhausted the dazzling qualities of the in
strument In heroic delneation he out
reached all we have heard here; not ne
cessary to name Thalberg on the list, who
was deficient in fervOr. Mr..
Gottschalk's reputation Is now as firmly
established in Europe as that of any other
living pianist, both in performance and
piano transcription ;"
And of his new series of concerts it
says:
"Mr. Gottschalk was IN full force.
Firm, brilliant, certain, delicate, of ire
mendous power and rapidity; this all
may be said of him. He is a magnificent
master of the instrument, and transported
his hearers into plaudits and enoores, al
ways with each effort. He has shown
what an American can achieve in fact, and
IN public estimation"
Either Gottschalk or Mime. Strakosch
would alone attract crowded house
both together will furnish a grand mus
cal treat rarely afforded to the people of
this vicinity

The SEVENTH REGIMENT.-A letter
to the Chronicle from the 9TH Regiment
thus speaks of the religious condition of
the regiment:
"Mr Hopkins, our present Chaplain, is
very successful. His labors are continual,
his patience unwearied, and in the man
agement of his church affairs he has the
sympathy, good wishes, and willing aid of
every member. For many months previ-
Gus to his coming in November last, we
had not known the enjoyment of preach
ing and religious observances on the Sab
bath, but no sooner did he come here than
he begen to look about and enquire what
might and must be done. We were at
the time in Pensacola. Service according
to the Episcopal form was regularly at
tended on the Sabbath. The Episcopal
church in Pensacola was prepared as a
regular place OF worship, by being made
serupulously clean, and beautifully deco
rated with evergreen in doing which no
officer more interested himself than Cap
tain Charles Parker, of Co. E, who is the
only Captain in the 18th who has ever held
prayer meetings."

IS. Paymaster for this State, has re-
moved his Office from Boston to Albany,
