The spirit of old Sebastian Bach has stirred
the hearts Of our liberal and art-loving people
and we are 10 have an organ which will take
its place among the largest, and we trust the
best of the world. In these papers we shall
give brief history Of the organ from its ear
Hest beginning to the present time mention
ing the great organs OF the world and any
thing interesting to those who love this sub
lime instrument.
The organ had its origin in the earliest age
OF man, for in the fourth chapter of Genesis
we read, ''And Adah bare Jabal; he was the
father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as
have cattle. And his brothers name was ,Jubal:
he was the father of all such as handle the
harp and organ" The word organ, as used
In the Old Testament, should not. however
De COMPOUNDED with the instrument now bear
ing that name. The term was taken from the
Greek translation, and the ancient Greeks had
no particular musical instrument bearing that
name, but used the word organ in the same
sense that we use the word instrument. The
ancient classics ascribe the invention to the
sylvan god Pan; the fable says that it was
made OF reeds that grow by the river, and that
Pan thought it superior to the Tyre of Apollo
whom he challenged to Il trial of skill
Apollo accepted, and Midas, the umpire
decided in favor of Pans pipes. Virgil de-
scribes the shepherd Tonius, playing upon the
tuba utTicularts, which was an organ having
wind chest-Pan's pipes being blown by the
mouth; and it is often found upon ancient
medals.
The next step was the invention of the Inv.
ur"ulic OF water organ, about which has beer
much discussion. 1t was moro or,,o,, ~,
than Its predecessors, and blown nv vo+o,

The PRISONERS FROM Fort WARREN.-We
learn fir ON the Newburyport Herald that
these prisoners went ashore at Rockport on
Wednesday afternoon, and afterward at
StraightSmouth Point, some mile and a half
east of Rockport. About o'clock the same
afternoon, a boat was seen off Little Bears
Head, in which two men appeared, who made
signs indicating distress. One of them ;at
length landed, having nothing on but shirt,
and apparently in an exhausted condition.
He called for food, saying he had eaten moth
ing for twenty-four hours. He reported HIM
self from Boston, and as having hired the
boat for one hundred dollars, to be delivered
in Boston that eUening. He obtained what
victuals he could, bought pail which he filled
with water, and with two pairs OF old pants
started for the boat. On reaching her, the
sails were soon set, and away she went, not
IN the direction of Boston, but of Portland.
The telegraphic dispatches say that they
were captured at IL o'clock on Thursday,
eastward of Boon island. They made no re-
slstanee. Capt. Webster, of the cutter j. C.
Dobbin, boarded every vessel he met until he
captured the prisoners. They arrived in
Portland at 6 O'Clock on Friday morning. and
are now secured in the Portland Jail. One of
them proved to be James Thurston, second
lieutenant on board the Atlanta, alias Fingal,
and one was Lieut.. Alexander, captured soma
time since.

The War in Tennessee.

New YORK, Aug. 2l.-A letter from Parson
Brownlow, dated Cincinnati, says 1--WE
have driven the rebels out of middle and west
Tennessee, with the exception of Il few small
thieving bands, who are not regularly in their
army. Burnside is now marching upon Knox
vile with heavy force, in person: and, by
the time this letter reaches the readers Of
your paper, he will have established his head
quarters at Knoxville. Rosecrans is now
marching upon Chattanooga with large army
in fine condition, and in few days he will
have taken that key to all their strongholds,
and after having garrisoned Chattanooga he
will march upon Atlanta, and after that meet
Grants forces at Montgomery, the capital of
that infamous rebel state. Then farewell to
the southern confederacy' and all its long
talked OF greatness"
