TIE New ORaAN.-It was cur privilege last night,
in company with hundreds Of others, to he present
at the trial of the new organ, just completed for
Grace church. This organ was constructed in
Charleston by one of our citizens, Mr JoEN BAKER,
highly skilled organ builder, Of more than so
years. experience. Tho church was fllsd to its ut
most capacity, and the majestic notes Of the No
uana Organuna we're received with silent rapture
by an appreciative audience. The organ Vas tested
by Professor BaRKHAo1, organist Of Grace Church,
Prof. RUDDooK, Of Central Church, Prof O'NEALE,
of the Huguenot Church, Prof EcKEL, of st. Pauls
Church, RADcLIFFEBoRo, and Prof. HARRISON, OF
the German Lutheran Church.
The organ, under the touch Of these master
hands, was made to give forth the entire comoass
and the utmost volume of its sounds We regret

our consequent inability to criticize the instrument
in suitable language. But we can speak Of its
effect on untutored ears, both for ourselves and
from what we heard others say, thnt the music
was pleasing in the highest degree. Tho effect
Of the uorhumana and trena,sto stops combined
when played by skilled organist is truly enchant
ing. The limitations Of the human voice is almost
perfect.
The organ is "divided," allowing the splendid
Gothic window in front to be seen between it's two
halves. By this arrangement the organist sits at
right angles TO the pulpit, and not with his back
to it, as is usually the case. There are great

organ not to be found on any other in the city; and
while in sweetness Of tone and completeness in oil
it's parts it is equal to any organ in the city, it is
also equal in power to all save one and very nearly
equalto it. The wood work is finished i'll very
handsome sty le, entirely in accordance with the
style of Grace Church. The pinnacles, fnials
are Of the purest Gothic, and all the oth=r arch'
tectural nicetes OF this order are perfectly pre-
served. The organ cost about $4,000, decidedly
the finest instrument for the price we have ever
seen in our city congratulate the yestry, con-
gregation, and cho. Of Grace Church on the ac-
QUESTION Of such an adiuvant; and congratulate
Mr.. BAKER on the eminent success which has
crowned his labors
