THE CONCERT last night, at the Citadel Square
Baptist Church, was a most distinguished success.
Although much WAS expected, no enc, ne believe
was disappointed. The church was filed BY one
Of the most appreciative audiences we have ever
seen in Charleston, and the sacredness Of the
place forbid them to give loud and repeated ap-
plause to the many mastery performances Of the
evening. The clergy were largely represented
and, as was meet, occupied the seat of honor.
Their presence lent solemnity to the occasion, and
doubtless exercised wholesome influence
Mr.. G. Q. ROBINSON, the n1estro, has evcry rea-
to feel gratfed with the ecnt that crowned his
long and laborious efforts in arranging this con
cert. The programme was well selected; the voices
admirably chosen and well adapted to their several
parts; the choruses, evidently had been thorough
~ studied, and were excenently sung. he has
thus added another stone to the edifice of a long
and well-earned reputation. NJ
NJ. T. D. RuDDoog was the organist OF the
evening" and added no little to the interest Of the
occasion. The organ ID very superb instrument
by far the largest and finest in the city, and Mr..
R. showed it of in all its power. He made it equal
to large and well-appointed band Of many and
varied instruments, in turn Stimulating all Of them
both separately and together. His accompani-
ments were the admiration Of every connoisseur

The several choruses were well chosen, and
rendered with great spirit. An adept by our side

OF the Recitah We and Aria seWith Verdure
Cled, }" from seThe Creation" We have never heard
q better or more pleasing interpretation than was
given last night by Madame PLEHaE. She is clear
ly an ortiste both Of fine talent and large and in
dustious cultivation. She sings with much ex-
preston, and invariably carries her audience along
with her. On hearing her excellent conception Of
HADXN last night, we no longer wondered that she
had earned the enthusiastic plaudits Of some OF
the most highly cultivated audiences in Germany.
She egain gave evidence of her powers Of pleasing
in the Solo Of Kyie," and in the Duett eeGracefu,
Consort," :" from 9"The Creation" which she sang
with Mr.. IssERTEL.
Mr.. IssEarM has one Of the sweetest bass voices
to be metwith. BE reads music well, and gives
fine, clear notes, and withal has voice OF large
compass. He did himself great credit. There is
one feature specially in his singing that pleased
us. His enunciaion is clear and distinct, and
every word is heard intellgently-a quality not
usual with scienti fc vocalists
The length Of our comments admonishes Us that
we must bring them to close. Our thanks, and
those Of the entire audience, are due to Mr. ROB
NsoH, and his corps Of assistants, for the very
splendid entertainment they afforded us last even
ing. We have heard of many who were unavoida-
bly, prevented from attending last night, and who
are very anxious Mr.. r. should give repeti-
ton Of this concert at an early day. We throw
ont this suggestion for his consideration.
Few CAN imagine the popularity gained by MARS
DEN's PEcToRAL BALM. The question naturally
arises, why should it have become so? The only
answer we can give is by referring to the thousands
who are walking testimonials Of it's efficacy. For
