THE SAENGERFEST.
The First Grand Concert-Arrival Of the New
York and Foreign DELEGATIONS.


York and Foreign Delegations.
CHICAGO, June ls, 1858.
The grand concert OF the Saengerfest place
this evening" that Of last night being rather an In
formal opening.
The e,vants perdus, of the Pittsburg and Fort
Wayne Railroad, who were detained twenty
two hours in little Ohio village named Van
Vert by the washing away OF bridge, arrived
to-day in this city in safety, tired and dsgusted
with railroad travel There are now about seventy
singing societies In this city, or about three thousand
singers.
The principal officers of the Fest are Claussems,
President, and Balatka, Musical Director. The pro-
ceedings during to-day were not OF any special inter-
est with the exception OF the greeting OF the New
York singers by the Concordia and Germania Maen-
nerchOr OF Chicago.
The city seems to have been transformed into a
forest OF evergreens and German devices and Ger
man faces peep out beneath overAanging arches,
on which at night many odd little lamps
twinkle. The Americans, too, are much in
terested in the Fest, for many Of ,'eir houses
are decorated in its honor Two immense arches
span North Clark street and wabash avenue-one
opposite the headquarters of the Saengerbund and the
other opposite the Rink.
Regarding to-night's concert we have word of
censure to say. First, the musical director took
most unwarrantable liberty with the pro-
gramme leaving out whatever he pleased. Nine.
Lumley. who was to sing a grand aria frop
the "PrOphet" aye Priests OF Baal" and Non Piu
Mesta" from cinderella" was prevented from sing
ing on account of the refusal of the director to
company her with the orchestra, although that was
expressly stated on the programme. Again, the
chestra, one hundred and twenty instru-
ments, was led In slipshod, irresoute
manner that made sad havoc with some
OF the members, especially in the accompani-
ment of Hilers piano concerto played by Mr.. Gum
scarcely deserved better. But the gems
of the entire concert were ION the
by Mohring, sung by the New York Lederkranz, and
the "Hymn An Die Tonkunst" and the Battle
Hymn, from "Rienzi," sung by the New York Arions.
The magnificent baritone voice OF Stems, Of the
former society, and less effective tenor of Canddus
OF the latter in their respective solos won the adm
ration OF all. The Rink was crowded and, consider
ing that there were no means of ventilation in it
and the thermometer was in the nneties, the effect
may be imagined. Another grand concert tonight.

inferiority. They have not only ceased from
the enjoyments of their rights, but are not
the peers of their former slaves. The Con-

The largest portion of the banned people

good Union men. But we should concede
their right to differ from US, on public meas
