commencement by whomsoever is the
leader in the meeting, and often with
much feryor, earnestness and power,
the infinite God is invoked for his

blemishes, defects, about New York
but, to nay thinking, the Fulton St.
prayer meeting is not of them; a
green spot is this--a Bethesda

that this is all that should be, or that

The American Organ.

1t is with no little pride that we point
to the fact that the young giant West has
already manifested determination to keep
pace with the East and the rest of the world
in matters pertaining to scientific research,
bellies lettres, musical progress, and the fine
arts generally. In musical matters cS-
pecially in this case. The people Of the
West are essentially musical people
From the rag-picker in our alleys to the
hard-fsted farmer and the gloved merchant
prince, they all acknowledge fondness for
music and give evidence of the powerful
charm that it throws around them Happi-
", then, our music dealers are men worthy
to cater and provide for the full enjoyment
of this taste. B@ $$ ~ 4
The East has been in a furore for some
time over the qualities OF S. D. & II. w.
Smith New American Organ. Eastern
journals have Haunted their praises of these
instruments, and their fame was almost
national. We confess to having long expert
enced keen desire to see and hear one Of
these instruments, and yesterday we were
gratifed w. W. Kimball, ESQ, the well
known music dealer. at 142 Lake Street,
having just completed arrangements for es-
tablishing general Western depot for their
sale at his store, called us in, and we saw
and heard the American Organ. We would
write enthusiastically Of that Organ but that
we prefer to speak calmly and truthfully of
its merits. It's style of finish is superior
to anything that we have seen-but in that
which appeals to the ear and the heart it
is grand beyond description. 1t is rare
combination of powerness and sweetness :;
has immense volume, and yet is as mellow
as flute while its easy action, adapting
it to the most rapid execution, is truly won
derful. We predict for the American Or
gan the most brilliant and substantial tri-
nmphs and sale as rapid throughout the
West as it has been in the East Chicago

GEN. GRANT AND THE SLAVERY CUES
TIoN.-Some days since, says the Jour-
nal, we published the extrast from let
ter written by GEN GRANT, and quoted
by Sen. WILSON in a speech at Philadel-
phia The extract, it seems, was only
the substance Of Gen. GRANTS letter, as
remembered by Mr.. WILSON. The New
York Herald has called it's thruthfulness
in question. This has brought out the
original letter, which was addressed by
Gen. GRANT to Hon. E. B. WAsnBURN.
under date of August 13, 1868. The
following is the portion relating to slay-
cry: RI
The people of the North need not quar-
rel over the institution Of slavery. What
Vice President Stevens acknowledges as
the corner stone Of the Confederacy is
already knocked out Slavery is already
dead. and cannot be resurrected. It
would take standing army to maintain
slavery in the South, if we were to
make peace to-day guaranteeing to the
South all their former constitutional pri-
vileges. I never was an Abolitionist,
not even what would be called anti-slave-
ry, but | try to judge fairly and honest
ly, and it became patent in my mind
early In the rebellion that the North and
South could never live in peace with each
other except as one nation, and that
without slavery. As anxious as I am
to see peace established, | would not
therefore, be willing to see any settle
ment until this question is forever set
tied. ~" orr 7a8

SOUND SENTIMENTS VIGOROUSLY Ex-
pREssED.-The following is from the an

tary Of the Treasury:
No prudent man will recommend
economy [ in the conduct of the war; at
the expense Of efficiency. Such nominal
economy is real extravaganza. But eff
cheney is not promoted by profusion or
waste, and least of all by misuse of pub
lie money or public property Every
dollar and eyory man are freely offered
by a generous people how sacred the
obligation that not one man should be
wasted, and not one dollar misapplied. =
Nor is rashness, in war, vigor. But the
vigilance that misses no opportunity, the
energy that relaxes no effort, the skill
that vitalizes all resources, and the per-
severance that never grows weary, these
make true vigor.
