THE Messiah, Thursday, Feb. 1, 1872.
Another Grand Musical Feast.

We are glad to learn that the Choral So
Ciety have decided to repeat Handel's grand
OratOriO, "The Messiah" at Masonic Hall,
next Thursday evening, Feb. l. The
"Chorals' performance Of this "master-
piece" on the last occasion gave unbounded
satisfaction to the refined audience then
present, and the encouragement they have
since received from almost every quarter
has induced them to repeat it. This ex-
preston of opinion is especially gratifying
to the members of the Society, for in it
they not only see their efforts to please have
been appreciated, but they recognize the
fact that Notwithstanding the tendency of
the age to negro minstrelsy and such like
stuff the taste of our citizens for the higher
order of music is just as great it was in the
antebeIum days.
To music we are indebted for one of the
purest and most refined pleasures that the
bounty Of heaven has permitted to cheer
the heart Of man. Whilst it softly steals
upon our ear it luis to rest all the passions
that invade our bosom and arrests our
rowing fancy. Often when wrapped in
melancholy the sweet voice of music charms
away our cares and restores our dropping
spirits, or awakens in us the sentiments of
honor and glory.
And surely that which can assuage our
grief, pour balm into our perturbed breasts,
and make us forget our sorrows, is deserv-
ing Of some consideration, and should be
made use Of to glOrify our benefcent Crea-
tor.
Both philosophers and physicians have
prescribed music as a powerful means of
alternating the sorrows and cares of human
life. Music reyives the languishing soul,
affects not only the ear, but the very arte-
ries, awalens the dormant powers raises
the animal spirits, and renders the most
dull and severe and sOrrowful mind elate
and lively.
Sacred music touches the finest chords
of piety, inspires the soul with the most
sublime sentiments and feelings of devotion,
and commands the heavenly ear to listen
30 mortal strains,
I" When the full organ joins the tuReful choir
The immortal pOw'rs incline their car;
Borne on the swelling notes, our souls aspire,
While solemn airs improve the sacred fire;
And angels lean from heav'n to hear"

Bogus Money.

Last night Albert Gwinn, colored, tried
to impress an old lady, named Mrs. Conley,
with the advantages of education and the
duty of supporting public universities. Al
Lert accordingly gave her one dollar bill,
University "scrips." Being rather lady of
good sense than one of literary credulity,
Mrs. COnley did not receive the bill as a
greenback, but had Albert arrested for
attempting to pass bogus money. He gave
security for his appearance before Judge
Halle tomorrow morning.

DE-. 10. Wyatt Killed.

In an alteration at or near Franklin,
Tennessee, on Friday evening last, DR.. 10.
Wyatt was killed by Mr.. James Cloyd. An
old grudge, lasting for upwards of two
years had existed between the parties, and
on several occasions since that time, the in
terpositiOn Of friends prevented them from
settling their differences. We hear it stated
that hostile meeting came near taking
place about two weeks since, when Mr..
Cloyd was burying his child. Since that
time, Mr.. ClOyd had gone prepared and
meeting bis adversary at the time above
mentioned he leveled his gun, and killed
Wyatt on the spot. Cloyd gave himself up,
and telegraphed Gen. Bate of this city, to
proceed to Franklin to defend him.

LEBANON, Tenn, Jan. 20, 1S71.-The

The Tobacco Trade of Nashville.

The Huntsville Vidette complains of the
apathy and lack of enterprise manifested by
the merchants of Nashville in permitting
the tobacco trade to pass away from them.
The Vidette says: "BefOre the war Nash
vile was the pioneer in fostering the to-
tacco interests of the Upper Cumberland,
and gave an impulse to production that is
still felt. But since the war she has puT-
sued passive policy and to-day permits
Louisville to command the finest tobacco
trade in the South, and trade too that
passes through the limits of Nashville in
transit to the Falls City. She even uses
Nashville Packets to transport tobacco to
the Louisville and Nashville Railroad.
This, we think, is enterprising in Louisville,
but the lack of it in Nashville.
"The value of the tobacco crop i'll this sec
ton since the war aggregates annually more
than $500, O00-all of which could have
been, and in the future may yet be retained
by Nashville. The producers Of the weed pre-
fer to sell at Nashville to either Louisville or
New Orleans. First, because it is nearer
home, and second because their former eX-
perience taught them that Nashville buyers
were safe, liberal and reliable. Now we ask
why it is that our chief city lets this great in
terest lie dormant? Is the command of three
hundred thousand dollars nothing in the
way of trade? Is it not worth their serious
consideration, as they now not only lose the
handling of this tobacco, but also the sale
of commodities to that amount. For, let
the producers know that they can find
good market at Nashville for their crops,
and there they will purchase all their sup
plies"
The Vidette urges on the merchants of
Nashville to take Immediate steps to recover
the lost trade, and says: sit is true this
season is too far gone to secure the present
crop, for, already the agents for Louisville
and New Orleans have contracted for much
oft. But let the growers know that next year
Nashville will buy all the tobacco that can
be raised in Tennessee and Southern Ken
lucky, and we know that she can secure it,
and also increase the acreage Of production.
