SHAw's BENEFIT CoNCERT.-Our citizens
have generously rendered to Shaw's Quartette
benefit concert this evening at City Hall,
ard we have doubt of their being great turn
out on the occasion. This Qusrtette combines
some OF the best musical talent in our city,
and its members have freely given their best
music on all occasions when the people have
assembled for works of charity and benevo-
lence. The music furnished by this choir dur
ing the Independent Course of Lectures, will
not soon be forgotten, and especially will it be
remembered this evening. We very well know
that these vocaIists added much to tie interest
of those lectures, and helped to draw over
flowing houses. On other occasions, too, they
have cheerfully volunteered their valuable SER
vices, and afforded much pleasure to the peo-
ple. At the same time they greatly aided our
sick and wounded soldiers. If such deeds do
mot deserve grateful acknowledgement, then
we are at loss to know what deeds can.
We expect to see City Hall as full this even
ing as it was during the lectures; and, if so,
our citizens will give substantial evidence that
they are not slow to reciprocate favors, or to
appreciate good music. Let us give these
open-heartsd, and accomplished vocaists, a
bumper this evening.

THE SPoILs OF WAR.-The Manchester
n. H. D mo,rat, Of late date. says -
I'VE learn that valiant Captain from
this city, who is now serving with the
army at the South, recently sent home a
large amount Of booty Of which he had
robbed the people there. Among other
valuable property which he sent here was
q set of splendid and very costly window
curtains. 1t is said that his friends have
sold these curtains to one of our rich
Abolition citizens, and that they are about
to adOrn his mansion which he has about
completed. y Is it strange that such fe
lows pray for the continuance Of the war?
Since the removal and disgrace of Butler,
Administration organs admit that he is
little better than thief The example
he set his subordinates has been faithful
ly followed, as the large amount of booty
the Captain mentioned above sent home,
proves.
