REPLY.

GExrLEHEN;-Your polite md com
plimentary communication1fo myself
and a number of musical friends de-
serves corresponding reply. Our So
eiety is hardly organized as yet, but as
soon as We are prepared we will be happy
TO comply with your request, as We in
tend giving concerts at regular inter
walls, not only to assist in maintaining
the society, but for charitable purposes.
1t is proposed, however, by the mem
bers, to assist the Crescent City Band, to
give consert for the purpose of raising
money to procure a new set of instru-
ments. In this connection allow me to
remark that it is pretty generally known
that our Band has done a great deal of
hard labor for both civil and military
purposes, and have received nothing for
their services, until Adjutant J. Sonntag
("may his shadow never grow less J
with psrsevering Industry collected 1854
from the officers and privates of the
"Legion," for which he and they will
please accept the grateful thanks of the
Band.
In addition to the above amount, we
were presented with $25 so by Mr. De-
Frees of Terra Haute, this being the
sum due him as a former member of the
Legion. These donations are fully ap-
preciated by US. But we must have q
now set of instruments, and they cost
81 500. A concert or two will assist,
but viii not pay all this amount Being
a particularly interested member of
both the society and the Band, my re-
marks Gfe rather lengthy but l think not
uncalled for
Please accept the thanks of the society
for you complimentary note We shall
endeavor to make the Society and Band
a credit to the city of Evansville.

BosToS, Jan. % - The correspondent
of the Trareller, writing from Newborn,
says information has reached there, tina
a call had been issued at Raleigh for a
State Convention for the purpose of Sc
ceeding from the Southern Confederacy.
The writer says Gen. Vance and nearly
every leading man of North Carolina,
desired to return to the Union. He also
says an army of 10000 men, under Gen
Butler, could march to Ra leigh take pos
session of the capital and free the State
from the rule of traitors in one month.
Such an army would receive an enthusi-
astic welcome there and all along
