Melodeon and Organ Manufactures.

This branch of business is now carried on
quite extensively in this city, and no better
instruments can be found, By going the world
over, than can be got up in Portland. Mr.. J.
ID. Cheney's Mandatory is at No. 1876 IL
Middle Street. He always has few of the
different kinds on hand, or can manufacture
TO order precisely what is wanted. Mr.. Che
ney was employed as tuner at one of the best
manufactures in the country, and has devoted
his entire time to the business of manufactur-
ing and tuning melodeons and organs. He
has been in this city about eight years, and his
instruments have gone into all the towns in
the vicinity as well as into many towns more
distant. Each instrument is constructed un-
der his immediate supervision, and for dura-
biity, fulness and sweetness of tone, is rarely
surpassed. He gets up a great variety of
styles and qualities. varying in price from SO
to s225. His excelsior organ, which is alto
gether different from the common melodeon,
is being used in many churches, aud is found
to be the best substitute for a pipe organ
that can be obtained.

Return of the Reyol,ed Stat. :.

The Evening Post has no sympathy for any
attempts to put State Governments in opera
ton, in the reyolted States, by the interference
OF any extraneous power. In Virginia So
called Constitutional Convention has recently
been In session at Alexandria, and adjourned
without any provision for submitting its work
10 the people. The Post don't object to this
fact, however, but with no little sarcasm sug
gests that, under the circumstances, this refu-
sal appears but natural, as there is Just now.
no people to refer it to; the whole State. with
the exception OF few counties on the Poto-
mac, and Northampton and Accomac, separat-
ed from the rest of Virginia by the width of
the Chesapeake bay, being either in the enc
my's hands, or debatabe ground, across which
guerillas sweep, and where armies may fight
any day. To submit a Constitution and ordi-
nances TO the votes Of these counties and few
scattered precincts, the Post insists, would be
ridiculous.
The Post further suggests that the Conyen-
ton itself was not such body as to either
represent In any way the mass ofeyen the I'm
Ion people in the State or to secure for its acts
the approval Of the people. Its proceedings
have attracted but little attention, public
opinion having set mark upon II from the
first
The following is the conclusion OF the Posts
article:
What is the use Of such hasty attempts to
reorganize State government? What is the
use of plucking unripe fruit? No one really
believes that body like this which called il
self Virginia State Convention has authori-
~ TO commit the State to any course. SO in
Louisiana, the interference of the military
arm which commanded an election, deprived
that election of the moral force of an act of
the people. 1t was widely different in Arkan-
sas, where the people acted without a hint
from the military power, without the interfer-
ence OF the general government, and even
without consulting with it. There the State
was really cleared of rebel armies only pre-
datory guerilla bands roamed here and there
and robbed secessionists as we'll as Union men.
The people Of the State after due notice, met
and chose convention for the express pur-
pose of re-establishing civil government and
returning the State formally and by solemn
act to Its due allegiance and place in the IN
ion; the greater part of the people of the State
voted the convention was held in proper form
at the State capital; and its proceedings were
approved by an open vote Of the people. No
one could object to these acts; they had the
moral force OF acts of the people; even rebels
were silent before them; and there can never

The Fort PiUow Massacre.

WASHINGTON, May 2.
Senator Wade and Representative Gooch,
of the committee on the Conduct of the War.
have returned from Fort Pillow. They took
fity-seyen dispositions, all of which more than
confirm the newspaper accounts of the massa-
ere. They say it would be impossible to ex-
aggerate the cruelties committed. Among
the witnesses examined was the negro who
was buried alive, and who dug himself out of
his own grave.
There is no doubt that one or more persons
were nailed through their flesh to pieces of
wood, aud then burnt alive. Not only on the
day of the surrender. were such fiendsh acts
perpetrated, but on the next day in cold blood.
The victims seen by the committee we're
pierced and cut in the face and eyes with bay
onets and swords, while other parts of their
bodies were smashed and dsfgured either by
steel or lead.

From Richmond.

WASHINGTON, May 2.
The Richmond papers of Thursday say, the
langor in the commercial market shows that
the town people will have to live on half ra-
tons until the country people who have pro-
visions to spare, shall have heard of the defeat
of Grants army. We may then expect sup
plies from all quarters, and revival of BUSH
ness on descending scale of prices
A dispatch from Orange Court House, dat
ed April 9th, says all the Yankees have left
the Valley to reinforce Meade.
A telegram from Parkersburg, of the same
day, says: "As yet there are no indications
of Grants movements towards Fredercks-
burg"
