A FINE ORGAN FOR THE FIRST BAPTIST
CHURcH.-This splendid instrument, built
by Messrs. Simmonds s. Co., Of Boston,
has been creating quite sensation among
the lovers of sacred music in that city.
On the day before its shipment for Rich
mond four of Boston's most gifted organ
lists performed upon it before apaying au-
dience. Critics inform us that in many
respects the instrument is very remarka-
BILE, and the attention of the hearer cannot
fail to be arrested by the depth, power,
and richness of its tones, and the charac.
teristic quality Of its orchestral stops
which possess unusual delicacy Of finish
The quality and articulation Of the reed
stops are said to surpass in splendor any
before made in this country.
The organ cost five thousand five hun
dred dollars, and will hardly be put up for
less than three thousand. AS there is not
sufficient room in the gallery to put it in
position, the congregation contemplate
making an addition to the rear Of the
church building, which will not only allow
room for the organ, but will also comfort
ably seat full choir above and in rear of
the pulpit.

RAISING THE SUNKEN WRECKs.-The
enterprising firm of Messrs. Hartwell,
Dick & Co. having completed their ar
rangements for raising the sunken wrecks
which now so much obstruct navigation,
will at once begin the work. The barges,
with all the necessary apparatus, left Nor
folk yesterday in tow of the two steam-
tugs which are to be employed in the
work, and will arrive here to-day. Opera
tions will be at once commenced on the
Patrick Henry, lying alongside the wharf
at Rockets. The removal of this wreck
will be of great benefit to the shipping
which arrives here; for her hull has so
narrowed the channel as oftentimes to
make it difficult for vessel to pass it on
account of the swiftness Of the current.
The energetic gentlemen who have un-
dertaken this work will push it forward as
rapidly as the nature of the work will adj
nit of, and before long we hope to see our
river once more clear of all distractions.

The JUNK-DEALING CAsEs.-The con-
tinued cases of a number of junk. k.dealers,
charged with carrying on their business
without proper license, were brought be-
fore the Mayor yesterday, and the ques'
tion of the validity of the ordinance pro-
scribing this class from dealing under GER
tain conditions not required of other
classes carrying on in their business the
same trade was entered into. The heated
and crowded condition of the courtroom
rendered the hearing of the argument of
Colonel August in behalf of the defend
ants-a most vigorous penance, which
neither the attendants of the court nor
the Colonel himself scarcely deserved so
the counsel consented to draw up his
points of argument in writing, and submit
them at the earliest possible opportunity.

ROBBERY BY NEGROES Yesterday morn
ing two negroes entered the store Of Mr..
w. T. Lindsay, No. 42O Marshall street,
and began to price groceries, trying to
create the impression that they. wished to
purchase large lot to carry into the
country. Presently one ordered some fish
to be weighed out, and while the propre-
tor was thus engaged, the other reached
over the counter and managed by dex-
ferrous movement to take from the cash
drawer pocket-book containing forty dol
lars in money and number Of valuable
papers. The stolen property was missed
in few moments after the negroes left the
store, but the thieves could not be found.

THE HENRrCo MURDER.-The public are
interested in all the details of this pain
fully mysterious affair. Our reporter,
however, has gained few further particu-
lars concerning the Identification Of the
murderer. = We learn that Annie Phillips,
nee Pitts, Was last seen in the company Of
her husband, who is now in prison. This
was on the 9Th Of February, when they
were met on Eighth street by an acquaint-
ance, who recollects distinctly that they
were walking up from the depot, having
arrived in the city by the Fredericksburg
railroad.
Detective Knox and Constable John
W. Cole left Richmond last night with
subp9nas for the relatives of Mrs. Phillips
and for the minister who performed the
marriage ceremony, besides other parties
whose names we are not yet at liberty to
publish. To the officers mentioned too
much praise cannot be awarded for their
efforts to ferret out murder the author
and victim of which were yelled in COM
plete mystery. Seizing upon slender
clue, they pursued it silently but dill
gently until they possessed full chain of
circumstantial evidence, no link of which
seems wanting.
The preliminary examination will proba-
bly, take place on Tuesday next, until
which time we must exercise due patience.
The prisoner has employed counsel, as
stated yesterday, and, protesting his inno-
cence, calmly awaits the result.
