AN INsoLENT SPEECH.

On the adjournment of Gov. Pierpont's leg
islature in Virginia, dozen men perhaps,
Mr.. Speaker Downey said
Gentlemen IL have no speech to make,
but congratulate you very much for the
manner in which you have ended the term Of
service for which you were elected. At the
time OF your election it was said that the
halters were preparing for your necks, and
that JED. Davis WAS making the rope
Since that time we have had two sessions,
and have kept Virginia out of the hands oi
the abolitionists, who are now pitching al
Andy Johnson with a red-hot poker, hoping
to influence him to adopt their radical views
But, thank God, we are safe and though
they may force negro suffrage on other States
with provisional governments. they canno
pile il upon US. Gentlemen, l wish you
safe return to your homes"
Our impression is that Virginia will mo-
find do'ony bed in Congress, il that bod]
does its duty. We think the question of re-
ceiving Virginia members is still pending. anC
has been ever since the new Alexandra Con
stitution was formed. If 80, Congress ha
the strong hand still. But there is a valua
BILE hint here, to wit: ii Congress once ad
mits the members of any state under an anti
Republican constitution, the error for tha
state may be irreparable. SO Congress mus

stunned at fret. No one in the car escaped
injury of some kind, but it is thought all

there are rumors that one man is still miss

Mrs. Lou M. PARSONS Concert last even
ing drew very respectable audience. Mr..
Shaw commenced the entertainment with the
old Musketur, and sang it with life and spirit
Mrs. Parsons appearance upon the platform
was very pleasing. She possesses fine form,
and pleasing continuance. Her motions are
graceful and easy. Her voice is quite sympa-
thetic, but not pure soprano. She executed
her roles exceedingly well, and highly graft
fed the audience. Mr.. Pease had powerful
instrument under his fingers, and swept the
keys with great rapidity, and struck his note
with much assurance. He is a bold player
and manipulated the keys somewhat after the
style of Leopold de Meyer. He has great,
execution and made the instrument give out
thunder as well as more dulcet tones.
The duetto from Donizstti was admirably
rendered by Shaw and Morgan, and their
voices blended tremendously. The trio from
AttiIa, performed by Mrs. Parsons, Shaw and
Morgan, filed the hall with sweetest music
1t was sung in fine taste, and with much feel
ing. So well did all perform their parts that
they were eneored. We must not forget Mr..
Milliken's Accomplishments, for they were
artistically performed. He touches the keys
in fine style, and his notes are crisp and dis
tinct. On the whole the concert was we'll re-
ceived, and gave entire satisfaction.

Gen. Scho6eld makes the following report
OF the capture of Fort Anderson:
Fort ANDERSON, Feb. 10,
Via Fol- tress Monroe, Feb. 49, 1865.
To Lieut. Gen. U. S. Grant, City Point
General:-I have the honor to report the sue
cess of our operations against Fort Anderson
and the adjacent works on both sides OF Cape
Fear River. Yesterday. while the gunboats
maintained heavy fire upon Fort Anderson,
pressed the enemy on both sides of the river,
and sent force under Gen. Cox about sixteen
miles around swamp to turn the enemy's
right. This force made its way along mar
row detle between two swamps, and complete
ly turned the enemy's position. As soon as
the movemest became known to the enemy, he
abandoned his works and retreated towards
Wilmington. We captured ten guns uniDiur-
ed and considerable amount of ammunition.
We have about fifty prisoners. The loss in
killed and wounded is small on either side.-
The troops are pursuing the enemy, and the
gunboats are moving up the river.
Fort Anderson and its collateral works are
very strong, and rendered almsst inaccessible
by swamps. A small force could have held
them until their supplies were exhausted. My
information is that the rebels have line OF
defences beyond Tom Creek, where they pro-
pose to make stand. II so it can probably
only be short short one.
l am General,
Very respe ctfully,
Your obedient servant,
