THE LATEST SENSATION IN TIE Mu-
sIoAL WoRLD.-The latest sensation in
musical circles was given by Jerome Hop
kins Ia son Of r.. Rev. Bishop Hopkins
of Burlington,) at his concert on Thursday
evening last, in New York, at Steinway
Hall. After playing his " Snow Nymph
Polka he was encored, when, instead OF
playing again, he responded by whisiling
an intricate and ford fantasia upon well
known Italian opera A reporter says
"The surprise and astonishment of the
vast audience of at least twenty-five hun
dred persons knew no bounds. They sat
entranced through the trills, appogiaturia,
cadenzas, and roulades, which We're like a
canary bird educated by note, until at the
conclusion there was an unanimous burst
of applause and he was recalled again and
again. Mr.. Hopkins may congratulate
himself upon having caused the newest
sensation in art"

Mr.. MoRRLLI.-The Troy Times thus
speaks of Nj. Morrill, and his speech on
the currency question:
"Mr. Morrill, will not be accused by
any one who knows him or who has
watched his course in Congress, of being
either hot-head or an alarmist. On the
other hand, his head is too we'll informed.
his Judgment too cool to make him vision
AIRY, and his honesty is too homespun and
pronounced to permit him either to deny
or dissemble the simple truth. He speaks
The convictions which are in him, and that
with vigor of diction and clearness OF
statement worthy Of a strong. thoughtful,
earnest man. The extract below closes
bis speech. The sentiments expressed
may fail Of finding approval in the vortex
of Wall street ; those who daily throng
the stock and gold boards, or who 60 on
change daily ether to make or lose for
tunes, may wonder at the shade of the
picture, and have their cheap sneer at
/" fogyism !" but such should remember
that Mr.. Morrill, is plain Vermonter |;
that he speaks in behalf of State suffi-
GENTLY removed from the scenes of CON-
mercial excitement TO be uninfuenced by
them-for a people who know no road to
wealth but industry, who look for no sea-
sons of prosperity but such as come from
increased labor, genial suns, fertilizing
rains and grateful earth and who have
been educated to believe that the liquiGa-
ton of Indebtedness, public and private, is
a duty to be performed at the earliest
practical moment, and only in that direct
and honest M, thod which awards exact
value for value"

Jan. 81, l867.-The New Orleans in
vestigating committee have brought to
light certain. hitherto unpublished CORES
pondence relative to the garbling at the
White House of General Sheridan's des-
patches concerning the riot. 1t appears
that the mutilated reports were printed in
New Orleans at the same time they APP
peared in the New York Times, and Gen.
Sheridan at once telegraphed to General
Grant that one essential paragraph was
suppressed, and asked him if he could tell
who was guilty of the breach of military
honor in giving it out in that shape. Gen.
Grant at once responded that it did not
get into print from his headquarters, and
said if General Sheridan had no obiec-
tons he would ask to have them published
in full. General Sheridan, on the follow
ing day, telegraphed that he did not for an
instant suppose that the dispatches were
thus published by General Grants author
ity, and he thought he had right to feel
justly indignant at the person who did
give the authority. He had nothing to
say, he continued. as to the publication of
his other dispatches they were not writ
ten for publication, but were at the service
of his superior officer. On The same day,
Aug. III, General Grant sent correct cop
les Of all the dispatches to the Secretary
of War, asked their publication in full, and
continued -
ALREADY garbled version Of one of
these dispatches and an incomplete copy
of another, have appeared in the public
prints. These publications put General
Sheridan in the position CT taking par
tisan vies of the whole question, and what
is still worse, of being one day on one side
of the question and another day on the
other side. His dispatches in full show
that he takes no partisan view, but reports
what he believes to be facts, without re
gard TO who is hit. am Just in receipt
of telegram from him showing displeas-
ure at his dispatches getting into print in
a mutilated and incomplete form.
Mr.. Stanton, on receiving this letter, at
once referred it to the White House, say
ing that he did not feel authorized to act
in the matter without the Presidents d.
rection, and he therefore submitted the
papers for instructions. The President
took the matter under advisement, and d.
recled a collection of all letters and des-
patches relative to the riot and convention,
that had passed between the military and
civil authorities at Washington and New
, Orleans, saying at the same time that they
were to be examined in view of publica-
ton full in the order of their dates. The
papers were at once collected and laid he
fore the President. He examined them
and two weeks later, after cutting out this
:, correspondence relative to the garblng o.
. General Sheridan's report, gave permits.
sion for the publication of the other letter:
? and dispatches.

HE REBEL SPIRIT IN LOUISE ANA
A letter from 'he chief justice of the
Sup, eme Court Of Louisiana to Represen-
,ative Eliot of this State, furnishes trust
worthy testimony as to the bad and dan
g~rous influence Of the old rebel leaders
in that state. 1t is dated on the 9Th Of
January last, and the material point Of it
is as follows:
t" From conversations with secessionists
l know that an issue will arise between the
president and Congress, or between the
United States and some foreign power,
which will precipitate war, and through
this hoped for war they believe they will
rid themselves of the people and govern
ment which are odious 10 them. They
would, to-day, join in any movement to
rid themselves of the government of the
United States, provided there was fair
prospect of success. Most of the people
honesty believe that in the late struggle
they were only contending Cor the right of
| self-covernment that the war carried on
against them was iniquitious, and was
waged with inhumaniry ard brutality, and
that they have been robbed and plundered
of their rights and property. With such
impressions on their minds they can enter
tain no loyalty to the government Of the
| T1-.tnI fri. n1lx uraattnna fos
the people of the North. There is many
an honest man who engaged in the late
rebel ion believing he was right, but being
now overpowered. would submit to the de-
cision of the sword, were il not for the fac
that most Of their military leaders now
have control and excite these ell-meaDias
men. If the United States military forces
we've to-day owed from Louisiana, ant
;f there was no fear Of interference by ,h,
United States, these base men, their mill
ltary leaders, among the conspicuous o

and blood, and no Union man, whethe

OF The House committee on the New

CT The House committee on the New
Orleans Massacre reported on Monday,
and it presents that Horrible butchery in
its true light as proved by hundred Wit
nesses whom they examined in their in
vestigation. Among these witnesses was
Major General Sheridan, who fully re-af-
firmed his opinion of it as expressed last
summer, that in revolving cruelty it was
not excelled at Fort Pillow. The report
proves most clearly that it was the work
of organized rebels with Mayo Munroe at
their head, and who are as defiant as in
the palmiest days Of the rebellion.
