The musical display in conneciiln with the
ate Inauguration OF GOV. hahn'i1 n " Or
cans was the work of Gilmore, the Boston
band Header, and was the biggest thing Of it's
kind ever witnessed on the continent. The
main feature was band Of three hundred in
struments and a chorus Of si1 thousand school
children and tt0enty thousand soldiers, with
cannon obligato from fifty pieces Of artillery,
which at the sweep of Gilmore's baton, we're
discharged in succession by means OF gall
vanic battery. We can imagine that the
three hundred, twenty thousand, and ffty,
made an emphatic musical forte. The New
Orleans Times says Of il,
The band struck up " America" This was
played az the other pieces, first, with the full
band then the band with grand chorus the
third time with grand chorus and chin
ing Of all the bells in the city, and finally
The fourth aud last time with the foil band
Ginning Of the bells, and accompaniment Of
artillery and infantry and of the entire audi
ence.
The effect before had been grand and sub
lime, but when thirty thousand voices joined
in the stanza--
Our fathers God, tothee.
Author Of liberty"
the effect was such as to beggar description.
We can form something Of an idea Of the ef-
feet Of three hundred musicians, with the
laundering Of their drums and the swelling
notes Of their brass pieces. We can form a
slight conception Of the effect Of the music
Of ak thousand child voices raising heaven.
ward the pealing notes Of America and
we may form some idea of the effect Of ha,fa
hundred cannon in rapid and continued firing.
But when we add all these joining IN one
chorus, joined by more than twenty thousand
adult voices, and the rapid FIRE Of regiments
Of well-trained infantry, the effect is one that
cannot be described. IL is scene that oc-
ours but once in a life time, and Of which no
one who did not witness il. can ever obtain
an adequate idea or form any conception.
How happy these people we're, under Gen.
Banks " despotsm" Queer, isn't it,

And so it proved. The bottom Of the coop
was tin box, containing several gallons.

In senate, April Z, Mr.. Hendricks OF In
diana dem opposed the an,i-slavery amend
ment Of the Constitution, and Mr.. Hender-
son Of Missouri supported it. 1t ia worth
noting that while Senators from slave states
are for getting rid Of slavery, free state
democrat goes the other way.
In the House the Raritan and Delaware
Bay railroad bill was considered, when Mr.
Woodbridge Of Vermont argued in favor Of
the constitutionalty and expedieney OF de-
claring the roads and boats Of that Company
to be military and post routes. The public
should be protected against that legalzed mo-
nopoly, the Camden and Amboy Railroad
Company, which not only imposed burdens
on the people, but crippled the Government,
in the performance Of its duties.
This company, he said, inierfeyes with the
elections in that State, and designstes who
shall be elected.
Mr.. Rogers Of New Jersey remarked that
the statement was false from beginning to end.
Mr.. Woodbridge took the disclaimer as
true, according to the best information Of the
gentleman, but he (woodbridge) had been in
formed tina; the Camden and Amboy Compa-
ny puts its foot on such nominations as may
not best serve the interests Of the great mo-
nopoly
In Senate, April 8, Mr.. Sumner supported
the constitutional amendment.
Mr. Sherman introduced national curren-
ey bill, doubtless the House bill ihsubstance.
In the House, the Committee on elections
reported against both contestants for seats

TaE Nashville URioE says that John Reid.
formerly Senator from Davidson county, in the
Kentucky Legislature. and an able lawyer, has
returned from Dixie, and accepted the Presidents
Amnesty Proclamation. He advises all others to
follow his example as the Confederacy has gone
up" IfJohn Bell don't want to be eonscripted,
notwithstanding his age, he will be compelled TO
90 and do likewise.
"You can never conquer the South, was
4 favorite expression not long ago, when the
men knew who gave utterance TO such senti-
ments that the only wish and desire Of the
loyal people was to restore the unity Of the
Government in all its departments. But the
people of the South, after a season of desper-
ate war, are coming gradually to their senses,
and beginning to understand the motives and
intentions OF their leaders. John Bell will
yet, we predict, be glad to take the required
oath, and enjoy the retirement Of old age,
minus his slaves.

IMPROVEMENTS IN MINING.

We are much pleased to see the improve
ments made in this District in mining by the
introduction of machinery for working the
mines. The outlay of money in erecting
substantial mining works, argues well for the
value of the mines of the companies which
erect them. Men are usually very careful in
the expenditure oftheir money, and when we
see capitalists putting money into works de-
signed to be permanent, We may be assured
that they have knowledge of some fact
which warrants them in the undertaking.
The value of these works in rapidly develop
ing our mineral wealth cannot easily be esti-
mated but certainly they must be of great
value.
When good hosting works are erected
over mines the miner is more secure from
personal danger-she heavy labor is in a
great degree removed-the motive power is
constant in its operations-the work hurries
forward, and a satisfaction alike exists in the
minds of owners and employees. Another
thing is Observation-Disclosures companies
erect machinery they almost invariably make
proportionate improvements in other branch
es of mining. They then usually commence
to timber their mines with more heavy tim
Der, or in some more scientific manner to
make it secure against slides and caves.
Greater care is then usually taken, and more
science applied in opening the mine, and, in
general, greater spirit of pride prevails
simply because when companies have fine
machinery with which to work their mines,
they have something of which they must be
careful and (which they may well be proud.

TIE VIRGINIA ELECTION.

Our neighbor, Virginia, is soon to have
municipal election, and such an election it
will be- In looking over the advertising
columns of the city papers, We find tickets
advertised to an abundant extent" No
less than seven PEOPLES Union Ticket"
are advertised, and any number of " Citizens
Tick,' " Regular Union Ticket" Miners
Sound Union Ticket" ETC., appear conspicu-
Gus in their columns, besides scores of aspi-
rants for office, running on their Town
merits" Now, We have no objection to any
body running for Office in Virginia, or any
other place, especially when it is no gain or
loss to us, but we do claim the privilege Of
saying word, when such hungry set Of
ofice-seekcrs infest and burden commu-
nifty as now hold forth in the city of Virginia.
The people of that place claim to be loyal to
the Government, and yet men who are at
heart and in sympathy against us for the pre-
servation of the Union, and who in Califor-
MIA were loud in their denunciation Of the
Lincoln Dynasty" present themselves for
Office. Perhaps loyalty pays better in this
Territory than open sympathy with rebellion,
and they think they ought to have position as
an inducement for them to remain loyal, as
was an instance in San Francisco lately.
Several of these fellows are running for
Office in Virginia, some OF whom were in
California and "always voted the res'lar
Democratic ticket" We cannot but admire
consistency. If any of these men are elected,
the people of our neighboring city will have
been most outrageously fooled.

TERRITORIAL ADVANCEMENT.

Shortly after the breaking out Of the re-
beIlion and the withdrawal of several States
from the Union, Congress set about to Or
game the long tract of fertile country and
rich in mineral resources west of the Rocky
Mountains into governmental Territories.
Five was the number created, and the people
began to assure themselves that the notch
caused by Southern treason would soon be
filed up. But not only can we congratulate
ourselves on the final restoration of all the
States in the Union, but also on the beauti-
full indications that before many years, fine,
great, noble and wealthy commonwealth
will be admitted as free and equal States.
Such rapid increase in population and prodi-
gious expanse in wealth and resources, was
never before witnessed. The probabilities
are that another Territory, taken from a por-
ton of Washington and Dacotah will soon
be organized, thus increasing the number of
Territories to nine Nebraska, Colorado and
Washington will probably be admitted as
States at the present session Of Congress
increasing the number of States to thirty
seven. We feel proud that Nevada is reck-
oned among the young and beautiful parts of
the Union capable Of extending aid and sup
port to the older members in the effort to
suppress rebellion. The mineral wealth of
these Territories will be sufficient, so it is
generally estimated, to defray the entire ex-
pense incurred by war.
Some Of the finest agricultural tracts in
the world are to be found west of the Rocky
Mountains and so soon as the great project
of the day-the Pacific Railroad-shall con-
meet the Atlantic with the Pacific, so soon
shall we see the hills and valleys bloom with
the beauty of civilization. We cannot but
love these newborn districts, and rejoice at
their assumption of sovereignty and useful
ness.

Nor 4 Book, But LIBRARY.-The ire
mendous report of Gen. Mcclellan is the most
ridiculous thing of the age, and who cannot
agree with the Philadelphia Press, that if the
Administration shall ever be found guilty Of
extravaganza, it will be because of the publ
cation of Gen. McClellan's report? We are
afraid to give an estimate of the expense, lest
j, should shake the confidence Of the people
in our ability to pay the national debt; but
we must say that had the same money been
given BY the Government to any of the valua-
bic tract societies, entire heather countries
might be civilized at once. Had it been given
TO the poor, the poor would cease to be; had
it been used to present Gen. Mcclellan with
l new sword, as a testimonial of his distin-
guished services, it would have supplied the
handsomest and most costly ornament that
ever hung to generals sash. But it really
seems wasted in the publication of library I;
for this report is not one book, but many. 1t
is an autobiography in a startling number Of
volumes, and like the Brahminical record Of
the Hindoo mythology, cannot be read in a
lifetime. We shall read the beginning, but
only our grandsons shall get to its end. Thus
it will take three generations Of readers to
find out of what Gen. Mcclellan has to COM
plain. 1t is true that he wrote this colossal
lament in less than three years; but writing
and reading are not equally easy. Cores
pondents send US poems, written in an hour,
that we really cannot read in months. In
the old DAYS, when men lived nine hundred
years, such report as Gen. Mcclellan has
so industriously compiled might have found
public; but now he must despair, for Methu'
saleh is dead.

STOP THE Wharf.-The Copperheads are
awfully "put to" for reasons why the war
should be stopped. The last one urged, we
find in the Marysyille Erpress-but it is
about as good one as all its other argu-
ments. Here it is, speaking Of the large
number of horses required for the army IN
order to crush the rebellion:
1.-THE horses of mature age being taken up by
the Government so fast that young horses are
put to work too early, the result of which will
ultimately bee seen in the diminution OF the ave
rage size of the breed"
The Government should stop the war
right of, for fear the breed of horses
will diminish in sizei The traitors and their
sympathizers had better look out for their
own breed, for Of all living scrubs, they of all
detessable creatures who draw the breath of
life, they will be the most diminished" and
hated down to the tenth generation. Stop
the war to save the breed of horses that Is
the most original idea extant.

T8F CENTRAL COMMITTEE.

The Virginia Union of this morning takes
very questionable position on the subject
of the Union Territorial Central Committee.
1t seems 70 think that the Committee which
was appointed by the Territorial Convention
on the LIST OF January, has not got iegiti-
mate existence because the candidates nomi-
mated at that Convention were not elected to
otiee, the majority OF the people having
voted down the Constitution! The position
taken bv the Union is radically wrong. A
Central Committee, whether State, Terrific
rial, or County, always exercises its func-
tons until its successor is appointed. The
old Central Committee ceased to have an
existence when the new one was appointed.
The idea, that because the ticket nominated
bv the Convention which appointed the Com
,ai,,ee was defeated at the ballos-box would
vir;ate the existence of that body is hardly
tenable.
