trict S. Cy to the President Of the
United States, in behalf of the Hon.
JEFFERSON DAVIS, and which petition
we heartily endorse and trust that Presi-
dent JOHNSON may take into cousidae1a.
tion.
The character of.the extract above is
not at all surprising to us. Every per.
son who is familiar with the course of
the Progress for the past four years, win
only treat with Che contempt they de.
serve; such paragraphs emanating from
the. source.
The Hon. JEFFERSON DAVIS, the
President Of the late Confederate States,
was not leader Of the people, but
servant, and every person in the South,
who aided the rebellion, either directly
or indirectly, (and the editor of tbe
Progress is among the class in both in.
stances are as much liable to be taken
up and tried for treason as is the gentle.
man referred to-.
The people of the South, those loyal
to the Government of the United States,
watch with deep interest the approach,
ing trial of Mr. DAVIS. Their whole,
earnest prayer is, that his life may be
spared, the opinion of the Raleigh
Progress to the contrary notwithstand.
ing The people of The North as well
as those of the South, and the President
of the United States, must look with
contempt upon the loud-mouthed pro.
testations for the Union ofa person who
was known, as was the editor of the
Progress, to have engaged in the late
civil strife. The administration at
Washington must know, and no doubt
appreciates, the weight of the silent but
true feeling of those at the South, who
have taken the amnesty oath to
support the Government while it
must look with doubt upon those who
are always blating about their being
such good Union men, as continually
as does the editor Of the Progress.
There is not decent or respectable
paper in North Carolina but what depre.
Gates with loathing and contempt, the
attempt upon the part of the Progress to
stir up 'animosity and ill,feeling again in
the South The course of suclf journals
does more to embitter the feelings and
sentiments Of the people of the South to.
wards peaceable readjustment of the
Union, than all other combinations put
in force against them, combined.

y Lord P almerston is In his eighty-ff year,

before, and shake even his iron frafne Two
months or SO hence we shall be plunged into

prepared, after that is over to resign his lead
ership in favor of q younger man.1y But the
young men who relikely to succeed him are
getting old !; Gladstonee is fifty seven, and
Granville is upwards Of fifty. There are few

Earl Derby.

This British Lord stands at the head of the
Tories who hate and despise this country and
It's Government. No man in England is more
bitter, malignant and insolent, than this gen
tleman. He suffers no opportunity to pass
unimproved when he can pour out his wrath
against Republican America. And what may
beamatter of surprise to many, he is exceed
ingly ignorant of our country and Its affairs,
and ifhe were really not ignorant, his preju-
dices are 50 strong against every thing Of a
liberal character that he Is totally unfs to
Judge of our affairs.
When Earl Russell moved an address to the
Queen to express sorrow for the assassination
of President Lincoln, this aristocratic Derby
took advantage Of The occasion to eulogise the
Southern rebels, and speak OF their courage
forbearance, manliness, ehivalry and civic vir-
tues! Mr.. DIsraeli is very different man in
many respects, although he is a tory Of high
order. he is very far from being ignorant of
this country and its institutions, and did not
take upon himself the task of bespatterlng
Southern Rebels with fslsome praises when
the address to the Queen was moved by Earl
Russell. We have no doubt Earl Derby feels
great sorrow at the sudden collapse Of the re-
peillon. Thank Heaven, all British statesmen
are not like him, il they we're, the fast anchor

rs Il HANDSOMELY SAID. Halifax Sun,
which has been an outspoken and unwavering
friend of our Government throughout the
great rebellion. concludes some remarks on
the remarkable vitality we have shown as
nation, as follows: ~ g
"The Ship of State, so often talked OF. is
clipper built, bright coppered, aud moves SO
swift through the waves ofprogress that there

TO the Editor u tbs Press:a
Y There was grand vocal and instrumental
concert yesterday aiterno "a at Music Hail.
A full fashionable and brilliant audience was
present and the Hall presented magnificent
spectacle. Mile. Frederick. Mrs. Kempton,
Franz Hermes,. and Jos. Hermanns, were the
Focalists for the occasion. The seats of the
chorus singers we're vacant, but the orchestra
were present In full numbers. There are in
this great orchestra seventy i've stringed in
struments. and, every one who knows any
thing about music knows that such instru-
ments have more soul in them than any others.
They are next to the human voice, and the
violin heads the whole Of instrumentation !;
but the female voice is above and over all.
; The Handel and Hayden Society were de-
termined to eclipse all other musical exhibit
tons ever given on this continent and they
have done it. Ali the free States were hunted
over for The best vioifnists (It Is fair 70 pre-
sumo there's not much good music In the
South, nor many first class violinists there
qabout this time.) New York, Baltimore, and
all ourlargel cities, and even Ut. Louis, were
brought under contribution, and furnished
their portion OF the halt hundred of players
on THE monster Instrument The afternoon
concert was all that was promised, and the
music, both vocal and instrumental, was Of
high order. Thus far the Festival has fully
come npto the high sounding manifestoes the
Bostonians have put Iorth concerningit.
Yesterday was a splendid day. and the
fashionable streets were crowded with pedes-
trians. The ladies were out in full street
costume. On Washington and fremont Streets
it was almost impossible to make Roadway
through the crowds, and men were compelled
to escape from the mass OF crinoliue, leave the
sidewalk and foot Il along BY the curb-stones.
