0~F The Soldiers Concert last evening.
was a complete success. From hints we had
beforehand received, our anticipations were
high, hut they proved te have been far below
the reality. The Chorus Club sustained IL
self with an efficiency, harmony ana spirit,
we were entirely unprepared for. In the ex-
ecution and mutual blending of the different
parts, there was evidence of the most thor
ough drilling under competent hands. Our
opinion Of the musical talent of our Borough
is decidedly changed for the better
But Miss VAILbANT, whose kind services
and sweet voice, we shall ever remember with
gratitude and pleasure, was The life of the
entertainment. Her brilliant execution, and
rich, full. ringing tones delighted and sua
prised an enraptured audience, who also gave
satisfactory evidence of the most hearty ap-
probation. Effective and charming as bal
ladist, she gave fullest scope to her we'll
trained and powerful voice, in her operatic
selection. The popular CavatinG, from "Ro-
bert le Diable,' was most admirably render
ed. The Laughing Song, from Gfanon
PESccUt, was more skilfully executed than
anything of its kind we have ever heard
Her encores were in excellent taste. Miss
valiant has made many friends among us.
She has made an impression on our hearts
which Old Time will End much difficulty III
removing. She carries with her to her home
our most sincere and abundant gratitude.
We cannot close this article without max.
ing known the fact that fer the richness o.
the treat, those who were present at the con-
cert, are greatly indebted to the exertions o.
the Rev. Mr.. Heilig. From the inception
of the concert TO its closes he labored untir
lngly to have IT to pass off as TO make
1t worthy of the great cause TO which il con-
trlbuted, and worthy the patronage of oul
citizens, and we but re-speak the public
sentiment when we say he was emincntly
successful in both. The manner in which
he presided at the Piano Forte, would have
proved creditable even to Professor
Just going TO press, we cannot stop to speaE
further il detail. The entire performance
was grand success. There was not an
ineffective or an inappropriate selection il
the programme.
Notwithstanding the storm during the day
the audience was respectfully large.
The receipts we learn amounted TO $40. GO

INDUCING his Propensity.

X Democratic friend has shown US an
article IL the Eastcn Argus of this morn
ing, Which for bare-faced lying and men
dacity, beats anything we ever read
The editor sets cut with insulting our re
turned Volunteers by saying that "a par
ty Of drunken soldiers went to the ofice
of the -Hoaroe Democrat, at Stroudsburg.
some time during last Saturday afternoon
or evening, aud destroyed the greater
portion of the material, throwing it into
the street." and then goes on to recon-
mend dreadful things by way of retala-
tion. Now what are the facts. 4 lad
about Il years of age, under the infu-
eence Of bad whiskey, broke open the
shutters. got into the Office, threw desk.
aud some papers into the street, and up
set halfflled upper case Of small plea
on the floor, when through the influence
of a Republican he was arrested in his
work, and lie destruction stopped The
whole of the damage, both to building
and material, was estimated by the Editor
Of the Democrat at tweh ty-fiyc dollars,
which, we learn, was promptly paid to
him. From the batch Of lies which we
have quoted from the Argus, the Edito,r
proceeds to draw the inference that the
attack was the result of Republican tam
perlng with the soldiers. No sensible
Democrat in this neighbood believes any
such nonsense. They, (and we include
the Editor of the Democrat in the they.
know better. The outrage was con-
demned as freely on one side as on the
other; and yet this valiant quil-driver,
who would be the last man to take the
lead in carrying out his suggestions, re-
commends the holding of county meet
ing for the purpose of destroying our
property, and indeed, suggestiveIy speaks
of the Democratic capacity to drive every
Abolitionist (meaning thereby Republi-
cans) out of the county. A wonderful
muddle is Billy Hutter and his Easton
Argus, truly.

around, he had not been arrested before
he progressed as far as he did in his de-
structive work There is heartfelt dis
position on all sides, in our borough, to
entertain feelings of love and respect for
our citizen soldiers; but such proceed
ings as took place on Saturday cannot fail
to eradicate all that, ifpersisted in. Our
soldiers should remember that when they
leave the enemy's country, and return to
their homes they become as much the
.conservators Of the public peace, as are
other citizens and that it is as much
their duty to deport themselves pcaceably
and quietly. Their duty on the battle
field is to defend and maintain the laws, and
it is equally their duty on furlough to re-
spect and obey them. We are pleased to
be able to announce, that the proceedings
of Saturday meet the unqualified condem-
nation of our citizens, and also of the
soldier companions Of the lad who engag-
ed in them. IIallock was arrested on
Monday and lodged in Jail, whence he
was afterwards released on bail
We learn that the damage, which was
estimated at twenty-five dollars, was
promptly made good blythe friends of the
lad.

De- olation in the South,

General Neal Dow, who has travelled
extensively in the South, says that eve
rywhere lie was he bcheld the desolation
of war, but when he crossed the Potomac
and came into the free States he could
see nothing that reminded him of war
lie says; You know nothing of war,
you feel nothing of war, except those OF
you who have offered up loved ones for
the honor and safety of the country. .
The resources Of the Rebel Government.
he says, are exhausted. The leading
men OF the South, he says, "until within
a Few months, confidently believed in the
success Of their undertaking. Now they
begin to realize the tremendous power of
the North in its naval resources, in men,
money, and all tic appliances of war, and
everywhere they despair Of success" .
General Dow confirms the previous re-
ports Of the barbarous trea tment Of our
prisoners in the Rebel prisons, and he re-
iterates the statement that the Rebels
had mined the Libey prison upon the ap-
proach of General Fitzpatrick, with the
intention of blowing it up, and all the
Union prisoners in it. lie states that
"on the morning of Wednesday, March
I'd, after We had been informed of the
gunpowder plot, Dick Turner, the In
speetor of Military Prisons, was asked by
many officers, at different times, if we
were correctly informed, and he assured
them it was true; that large quantity of
powder had been placed under the prison
to blow US up if Fitzpatrick had come in,
and that it would be yet done if attempts
were made to rescue US"

pa. The London Spectator pays this
high compliment to our noble Sanitary
Commission: "In every way we cannot
help thinking the existence and success
of this Commission is most creditable to
the American people. 1t shows not only
with what resolution they entered into
this struggle, but with what a fund of
good sense they are endowed. We doubt
whether even in England voluntary So
ciety could be entrusted with so much
power, and yet so carefully abstain from
trenching on the province and duties OF
the executive. In America they can dc
these things, and the same Cabinet Minis
ter who originally gave the Sanitary
Commission six months span Of life
now admits that it has been of the great.
est service to the country; that it has occa
stoned none the evils expected form. it

The HAPPY FAMIly-5ome of the Abo
ltion sheets express mach disgust that some
of their organs in this State continue to
quarrel with each other in the most embit-
tered Kramer. 1t is useless to pretend that
these newspaper quarrels ate exceptional
cases--for the "cat and dog procIiyities of
the Aboitionists are proverbia. A cotem~
porary, in the following, happily hits off the
grumbling, growing disposition of those
professed patriots:
Senator Wade and Henry Winter Davis
attack Lincoln. Weed attacks Chase. Chase
attacks Seward aud Lincoln. The Colum
bus Journal abuses Wade, and the New York
Tribune abuses Secretary Stanton. The St.
Louis Democrat assaults the BIairs, and the
Bairs attack Chase. Weadell Phillips aud
DIR. Cheever attack Lincoln, and Garrison
attacks them. Weed attacks Mayor Oplyke
and Collector Barney, and those gentlemen
return the compliment Tho Cincinnati
Commercial attacks Eg5lest5o, an the Ga
zete attacks the Commercial. The New
York Tribune arragns Generals Burnside
and Meale for incompetency, AMI the New
York Times puts the blame upon General
Grant of the Petersburg defeat. The Wash
ngton National IntelIig'ncer declares that
Grants campaign is a failure. Gen. Sher
man q,arrels with General llooker an
Secretary Stanton qnarreis with GEN Blller
The category of qnarreIs might be indefinite
" extended, bat enough is given to show
that the harm my that now prevails IN the
Republican ranks is of very peculiar
character.
