MANCHESTER ITEMS.


The long expected concert of the Manchester
Singing Glass of Professor l.. ID. Tatum came
of on Friday night with great success, and the
Methodist Church was filled with select and
appreciative audience long before the hour
announced for the concert TO commence The
church was beautifully decorated and its APP
pearance reflected great credit on the taste,
energy, and industry of the Lady members of
the class On the walls We're displayed pic
lures of the prominent heroes of the 80 Lost
Cause who, though absent, were still re-
membered. The class was, in appearance, all
that could be desired and 1t would be dill
cult TO express our sense of qualification
at the excellent manner in which their
music was rendered. Mr.. Smith, organist,
and the Misses Cunningham, and Messrs.
Bradley and Snipes, volunteers from Rich
mond, contributed in no small degree TO the
attractions of the evening, and cordial
thanks are returned 10 them for their kindness
and courtesy, and musical skill. At the close
Of the concert, the Rev. John l.. Edwards
addressed the meeting complimented the class
in graceful terms, ana asked That the concert
might be repeated. This request was acceded
to, although At personal inconvenience 10 Pro-
fssor Tatum, and the second concert will be
given tomorrow night, and al the same place.
1t may be stated, in conclusion, that the class
had only taken about twenty lessons, ana that
the whole affair was IN entire success.

an IMroRTANT MovEIENr. - The wcll-iu-
formed Washington correspondent OF the Bal
timore S"a says that the conservative Repub-
hcan movement inaugurated there by mem
bers of Congress will soon exhibit great political
strength, power, and resources. They possess
every element OF political strength, and can
not fail TO succeed in the campaign for which
they are preparing. They have with them the
Executive power; they have with them the
whole South, and will necessarily have more
than half of the entire North 1t is believed
that they will confer freely with the Presi-
dent, and perhaps, under their advice, he may
make some Cabinet changes a. an early day.
Let them agree with the Democrats who
unite in the movement TO drop the name of
that old party, and take Il new one. North
and South, many people dislike The name OF
Democrat

SOUTHERN EMIGRATIOS.--We are glad 10 see
that the NetropDliton Record, of New York,
unites with the Southern journals i'll dcpre.
eating emigration from the Southern States.
II considers the abandonment of their country
and their homes Il serious, unnecessary, and
10 say the least, uncertain enterprise. 1t de
clares that the assistance and cooperation of
the Southern people is needed III the great
struggle which has been inaugurated by the
Conservatives of the country, with the Presi.
dent at their head, 10 re-establiSh the Union
upon its original foundation of constitutional
freedom. The men Of the South should remain
at home and strengthen the hands of those
who love the institutions of our fathers, and
who, full of hope, have determined TO restore
them 10 the whole country. 1t asks, moreover,
if the political horizon were darker than ii i,
will Imperialism in Mexico or Brazil satisfy
the cravings Of the Southern heart? viii
contact with grcascrs in Mexico, or negroes in
Brazil as equals, prove more acceptable to
Southern men than intercourse with negroes
as universally recognized interiors Is there
any more promise Of peace and stability III
countries where revolution is chronic, and dis,
order the normal condition ? These are qUeS-
tons which Southern men who propose 10
emigratp will do well to consider.

CArTAIS SEHMEs.-We are pleased 10 learn
from one OF the New York papers that the i'm
preston gains ground that though Captain
Scmmes will be tried by mixed commission,
composed OF military and naval officers, his
conviction and release will turn almost solely
upon the question OF whether or not he No'
lated the usages OF war in escaping from his
vessel after striking his flag. 1T i conceded
that the laws OF war justified his burning,
sinking, and destroying his prizes, and that hc
is protected by the terms OF Lees surrender
from acts of lawful warfare.

new locomotive Icngine Fredericksburg, assem-
bled at the depot, on Broad street, on Satur-
day morning At about the time that the early
morning services were over. The wind was
rather cool and keen, and several preparatory
or precautionary measures were wisely taken
before it was considered safe 10 make start.
OF course the Press was fully represented, and
m about two minutes before o clock several of
the honorable and learned representatives
poured out preliminary lbation in honor of
white, nearly being left in consequence
by the impatient fredericksburg, which was

THE TRIP To THE GREER.
At 5 o'clock the special train started, and
the guests settled down into their respective
corners for a quiet talk. The whole affair, so
far, was particularly quiet the spirit had
moved no one, and even the conversation OF
the honorable representatives was fiat and
Improbable There was nothing IN the
country through which the party passed to
excite any peculiar interest. The same old
fields, covered with the reddish brown grass,
the second growth pines, the interminable
fences, aud a general absence OF life aud ac-
tivity. Here and there Il negro looking GU
riously at the train rs II passed, and occa-
sionally Il melancholy cow, throwing mp her
tail, and with head down, numbering into
obscurity and place Of rest, where cow
catchers and locomotives are seen no more.
At Milford the train stopped ten minutes, n
snack was spread, and when the whistle
sounded ani Il fresh start was made, the COM
pany showed 4 lauduble increase OF life and
animation. As the Corks popped, 50 the jokes
flew about, and the honorable representatives
having no one else to pitch into, began 10 pitch
into each other. In due time the train reached
Fredericksburg, and there the Mayor and
other prominent citizens joined the pleasure
party. The trip 10 the creek was made IN Il
hurry and while dinner was being prepared,
the guests had an opportunity Of being frozen
stiff by the cold bleak winds Of Aqua, the

THG LADIES FAIR AT THE FIRST PREsBYTE-

fund for rebuilding the Central Presbyterian
Church, will be opened this evening at the
lecture room of the FRS Presbyterian Church,
at the corner of Tenth and Broad streets, and
will be continued during the week. Every
dainty TO tempt the eye and delight the taste
will be offered for sale: and the collection OF
fancy articles will be sufficient 10 turn the
heads and empty the pockets of any who are
attracted by beauty Of form and delicacy OF
execution. We have already alluded, in the
columns Of the DiSpafdt, 10 the new religious
cdifce which is proposed to be erected by the
CONGREGATION OF the Central Presbyterian
Church. and we can only repeat that the
cause is one which must commend itself 10
every Christian, and that no better deed can
be done than that of patroniZing Literally
the graceful ministers Of the Central Presby-
teriau Fair. OF course, money is scarce ana
difficult to obtain but if we have the will, we
can always find Il small sum to contribute for
purposes of charity and religion, and we
earnestly hope that the Fair will be, in every
sense of the word, an entire and unqualified
success. Our citizens are always liberal ana
generous aud they will not be chary of their
means when they can not only perform meri-
torious action, but also obtain at the same
time substantial 1"d pro qno.
