A SUGGESTION it not bo as well says tie
NewLeriy Herald for our planters to put in little
more cotton than they did last year. plant up to the
limt. or even beyond 1t might prove wise meas
rlre in the end. If peace is made, cotton will be
scarce and the demand great while provisions will be
abundant and cheap. Should VIC have no peace,
nothing will be lost by the planting Off, for if we be
overrun, it will make no difference how much or little
is planted. Think oft planters.

Gated that the attack would result in the utter

hesitation, the advancing forces pressed on

confusion, and after a feeble attempt to rally,

The continuation of the line from Arm.

seeing the Yankee regiments pouring over the

rear, also gave way, but, as we learn, not until
ordered to do SO, and fled. Some however,
rc<olutcly stood their ground, and were finally
captured at their posts. n
The militia, of course, scattered in All direc-

The Dispatch and the Reporter were Destroy

The Rebel office was not seriously interrupt.

atcd the city, when an order was issued from
Gen. Wilson to fire the Office.
This order at the earnest entreaty of citizens
whose property would have been involved in
the cont1agration, was So modified as simply to-
embrace the destruction of the office without
injury to the building. The squad sent to
execute the order performed their work very
thoroughly. The presses were broken with
sedge hammers, the type was thrown from the
third story window, and the cases and printing
paper were piled up in the middle Of the street
aud burnt. The type, Of which We had an
unusual quantity, embraced two or three hum.

THE GRAND ORGAN CONCERT at the
new Universalist Church, which was given
last evening, was eminently successful. des,;te
ofseTeral quite untoward circumstances. The
announcement of its postpone1nent. published
in the morning papers, had doubtless tho Of.
feet to keep some persons away who would
otherwise have been present. NEVERTHELESS the
large church was filed nearly to its utmost
capacity. Then, too, the discomfort of cram
ing ones neck, to look backward, dampens
somewhat the enthusiasm of an audience: and
we could perceive that the habitual feeling of
reverence, which people carry into church
several times operated to check the applause
which, in the City Hall, would have burst
forth in storm.
Ii IS certain that the performance was high
" satisfactory. The organ is very fine one,
though from the short time which has elapsed
since it was put up some mechanical rough
nesses still remain which will be obyiated in
time: 1t has great compass and variety of
tone, and under the skillful hands of Mr. Paine
is capable alike of the soitest and most
zephyr-like breathings, and of such harmoni-
Gus tempests of sound as jar the very walls.
The choruses were performed in manner
which did credit alike to the singers them
selves, and to the admirable training of Mr..
Shaw. The quartette from Stabat Mater, by
Mrs Ftz, Mrs. Alison and Messrs. Thurston
and Shaw was received with especial favor.
OF the singing of Mrs. Fitz we are free to
confess that it exceeded our expectations. Her
voice is one not only of great compass and
power, but of much sweetness also. She rises
smoothly and lightly from the lowest to the
highest notes, and without any apparent effort
in the transitions. In the Infamatus. also from
Rossinfs Stabat Mater, the extreme lexibility
other voice was finely exhibited. II, however.
we were called on to designate the piece with
watch We were most pleased, we should give
the palm to the beautiful solo from the aCrea-
tion," with verdure clad" as in our opinion
best adapted to exhibit the peculiar beauties
ofthis lady's voice.
at the late hour at which we write it is i'm
possible to more than touch upon the main
features Of the entertainment, which was GER
tainly one of the most satisfactory to which we
have listened in Portland.
