THE ARRIVAL IN THIS COUNTRY OF


THE ARRIVAL IN THIS COUNTRY OF
JAMES Nc HENRY ESQ BY THE STEAM
Err SooTIA.-The celebrated fnancier and
builder of the Atlantic and Great Western
Railroad has arrived in this Country.
Mr.. McHenry's name is undissolubly
associated with one of the %proudest monu.
ments of American enterprise and perse-
verance. Mr.. McHenry has not only
done this, but has endeared himself to
the American people by his voluntary
contributions to the sanitary Fairs and
other public charities. His arrival at all
points on the line of the Atlantic road
will, we understand, be the occasion Of
ovations. At Meadville there will be a
testimonial of popular favor towards him,
worthy of the distinguished gentleman.
1t would certainly be of great value
to the country if. Mr. Nc Henry could
be induced to remain here and identify
himself with the construction OF some
such national institution as the great Paci.
fc Railway. Mr. McHenry will be warm
ly welcomed to Cleveland.

[From the N. 7. World
Shame ON Massachusetts.
To whoni a may concern !:

The indecent haste of Massachusetts to
get more than her share of the negroes to
represent her sons in the army under the
new draft will fill the country with pro-
found disgust. 1t will be remembered
that the Massachusetts, members Of Con-
gress would not vote to repeal the three
hundred dollar communication clause until
the privilege was allowed the once glo-
rious old commonwealth of buying south
ern negroes as substitutes. It o fur
Their seems that the Massachusetts, men
must have exacted still another conces-
sion from the " ar Department-that of
notifying them beforehand when the draft
was to take place, SO that they could be
the first in the field, and thus have the
largest and best assortzent of darkies to
handle the muskets designed for white
Bay State men. It will be noticed, be,
fore the Presidents call was out, that
Governor Andrew had all the machinery
prepared and that his proclamation was
out before Lincoln's showing that he must
have boon informed in advance of the
other states.
What a commentary all this is upon the
roads of swarming Yankees who were to
rush to arm when an emancipation proc
lamation was issued! at this very day
Massa chusetts has fewer white men in the
ranks in proportion to her population
than any state in the North. Were the
negroes and foreigners Withdrawn, it
would be found that the number Ct native
Massachusetts rank and file would be con-
temptibly small.
OF course we do not wish to be under
stood as blaming all Massachusetts, men
for the conduct of the malignant abolition
lists who have ruled that unfortunate state
for the latt score of years it is easy to
see what taunts and reproaches will be
heaped upon Massachusetts,, both for what
she has done and what left undone since
this unhappy war commenced. While
her sons are represented in the field by
negroes, they are to be found in their
proper person in the ranks cf the bowling
malignants, wherever shoddy rules tri-
umphant or corruption clamors for her
prey.

MANY SUBJECTS.

IMPRovEMENr-In this fast age Of
the worlds history, when the neighbor-
ing cities and towns are being rapidlyim-
proved, we can not see why Dayesvilfe-
the site of Vermillion Institute, which,
under the auspices of Prof. DIEFENDoRF,
has deservedly gained a reputation second
to none IN the United States or Southern
Confederacy,-should be behind in i'm
provements why her citizens do not en-
deayor to keep up with the times, and
commence by repairing the sidewalks
which are, indeed, in a dilapidated cond,-
ton, and more especially on East Street.
Boards warped in every conceivable shape
and nails protruding their rusty heads
six inches above the boards, do not make
a very desirable place to walk. A lady,
in passing along, is sure to come in con-
tact with one of said nails, and if her
garment does not give way, the lady is
uncSremoniously brought to a halt, which
is very annoying, especially if a number
of young guests are bringing up the rear.
While we do not see the use of a young
lady sweeping the pavement with her
dress, We do protest against those ugly
nails impeding her locomotion.
These Placements could, with little ex-
pense,-in the language of ARTEMUs
WARD, be very "muchly" improved
Will the authorities of Hayesville attend
to this matter We shall see.

The Wool Trade.

The fall in the wool t:ade still continues,
and very little is now charging hands in
this State. Occasionally some speculat or
who finds he has more of a load than he
can carry, sells ont-but those who are
not pinched are as stiff to-day as they
wer three weeks ago Where sales have
been made, 81 to s1,05 has been the
range. The only comment made by those
who are compelled to take these figures
is a regret that they cannot see the thing
through, as they all have an mistaken
faith In high prices in the immediate
future. Private advices from the east,
as we'll as the opinions of the commercial
press, indicate the strongest faith in the
future. Of the condition of the New
York market for the week ending on
the 10Th, the Economis reports:-"Our
market during this week has been quite
dull, and prices are lower. There is rath-
er more disposition to sell. and the upward
tendency for fleece wool is Csc to l
10, the bulk of the transactions have been
between 81 to / 05, and mostly at 81
One dollar seems to-day to be the value
of fine fleece wool in the present uncer-
tainty of matters and things, and as ali
manufactures ar. willing to pay and they
are not eager purchasers even at thai.
Dealers are more willing to pay enc
dollar than manufacturer are, and to
these lots of the sales have been made,
though manufacturers have bought some.
The state in which the wools are grown
is not now of SO much import as formerly,
and when we mention the range for fleece
we include all the better tates. Consider
able Michigan and York State wool has
changed hands at one dollar, and Ohio
at 81. OF to l 05, and some at 81, 10 are
of the time"
The ptoughman of Saturday remarks
that the Boston market wool is still in
steady demand at firm prices. The sales
of the week embraced about $50, O0Olb

BE On last Friday evening, the Ohio
Normal Academy of Music, now in session
at Ashland, gave their first noble 6ehear-
sal in the shape Of Concert, at the Town
Hall, to a large and appreciating audience
of ladies and gentlemen of Ashland and
vicinity. The programme comprised some
of the most difficult compositions of the
masters, and we hesitate aud fear not to
state that they were rendered in a manner
worthy of the lofty themes clothed in the
language Of melody. 1t would be almost
an ungracious task to p~articularize any of
the songs or singers, when all did SO ad-
mirably and performed their parts so we'll
But without wishing to be invidious, We
cannot deny ourselves the pleasure of
bearing this our humble testimony to the
fine rendition, by Miss TAFT, of the "cra-
die song"-and the sweet and elegant
singing of Miss ST1LLMAN in the old ia
vorite song of "Within a mile of Edenboro
town,"-and who is there that 'ihath mu-
sic in his soul" and is not Git for trsa-
son, s~trategem and spoils" but carried away,
stored in some clustered nook of memory,
the lingering tones of that gifted child of
song, Miss GooDENow, as she warbled with
thrilling sweetness the song of Annie Lau-
RE ; like the heroine of the Scottish ballad,
seher voice is low and sweet1an1 we
doubt not she will yet be recognized as
chief among the best of singers. Appro-
pirate among tie list of excellent selec-
lions was the "Star Spangled Banner" by
that practised vocalist Mrs. JEFFRIEs.-
Seldom has the great National air been
bette r rendered in public by a single fe-
male voice. The execution cf Mrs, JET
FRIES was not only spirited and correct
as a musical exercise, but we were partic-
ularly gratifed with the distinct enun
citation and proper %elocution exhibited
in the rehearsal of the words of the i'm
mortal FRANCIS s. KEY. The pianist
Mr.. KILBURN, faithfully performed his
part, an arduous and difficult one, requir-
ing care, good taste and varied execution
throughout a long and difficult programme.
We trust the Academy may again be heard
from in public before their separation as
a class-long may they continue to chant
their sweet melodies in the midst of war
and desoIation, reminding us of the hal
cyon days of dove-winged peace, which
GoD grant may soon return with healing
on its wings
ssThen the nights shall be filed with music,
And the cares which infest the day
Shall fold their tents like the Arabs
And as silently steal away"
