be remembered that this is the vessel

Green gives no details in the dispatch,

Hill of Baton Rouge did not fail at
the West Point examination from any
deficiency in scholarship, but was re-
jected because of IN affection of the
throat. The physical test is the most
difficult portion of the examination.
and many fine scholars are excluded
for some very slight physical defect,
some times nothing more than bro

We sympathize with young Hill for

OUR NEW YORK LETTER.
Especial Correspondence of the CHrEF.l
NEW YoRK, October 18th, 1873.

SOStlCuldtlHS, hurry ing W anu no
failure depicted on their countenan-
ces, was the state'of hundreds of the
Wall Street SPECTATORS ..on lastsMon-
day when another panic was evident.
But it was but a'passing breeze. Fur
ther than the suspension of four bank
ing firms, and two commercial houses,
Wall Street did not suffer materially.
But the shock..ha had most salutary
effect. Business has received a new
yigor and
THE FUTURE LOOKS BRIGHT.
Confidence has been partially restored,
and banks, business firms, and other
institutions in neighboring cities and
towns who had withdrawn their de-
posts from the New York banks are
NOW returning them. Factories, foun-
dries and other branches of the indus
trial aud mercantile trade, that had
suspended owing to the drain on the
money market, are now resuming
work. Wall Street during a panic
has been so often portrayed, that it
would be but waste of time and space
to reproduce it here.
THE FALL CAMPAIGN
/ is fairly under way, and promises to
be well-contested one. The New
York City Democraeys are divided.
Tammany leads the bulk and Apollo
the smaller fraction. The Republi-
cans are united to o man, and unless
coalition is formed by their adyer-
saries, will be as fortunate as last
year, when they elected the present
Mayor and council. Well thinking
Democrats will follow Apollo, as it is
free of the Tweed element. On the
opposite side of East river Brooklyn
the Democrats have been more har-
monious and have united on ore
ticket, but have not been very choice
in their selection of candidates.
The Tribune of Wednesday Oct. Is,
in an editorial comment on the Louis
lana State debt statement, recently
made by Governor Kellogg, and pub
lisled in the FinaRcier, says that the
Governor has understated the actual
debt s26, O0O,000.O and intimates
that it is simply a blind to induce
Northern capitalists to invest in South
ern bonds, which itintimates is bad
investment. This shows that the
spirit of the founder of that organ
still lives, and any thing that will re-
fleet to the discredit of the Southern
people, is still aired in it's columns.
There is only one man who places any
reliance in the Tribune, and that is
Jay Gould, the great II AM among
the bears. He is the actual proprietor
of the organ, and uses it to grind out
stock advertisements to those who
are fools enough to follow the advice
of Reid and his aids. 1t is known to
but few that the Tribune is owned and
controlled by Jay Gould.
Our people who were to all appear

GIN THE COUNTRY"
FOR A VACATION.

The lord of the manor would make
his exit early and return late, taking
free lunches in the gin mills and 9th
er foundries, his family merely
moving the rear portion of the houses
and keeping out of sight whole weeks
at a time. But, as I have said, they
have returned" and it is quite re-
freshing to hear their eulogistic dis
courses of the beauty and captivating
features of Il summer residence in the
country. That does we'll enough for
city bred folks, but if they would ven
ture their splendid fishingn yarns,
beautiful ripping brooks and a
lot of those things which you only
see in poetry, to country lad or las
sic, it is very probable there would
be insinuations against some folks

Editor Spectator:
Our ''little town" seems to have lost ell in

suit In progress, between the Southern Mu-
| tual Insurance Co., and W. w. Majors, for the
benefit OF Col. NJ. G. Harman aud g. A. White
purchasers OF the Lexington Hotel property
relative to the loss Of the fine sable attached to
said hotel By fire after their purchase. It is said
to be the closest contested case for years in this
Court. Col. Baldwin and Judge Sheffey from
your town, the former assisted by Maj. Dorman,
the latter by our ex-senator, w. A. Anderson,
makes the fight about equal, and quite interest
ing. or one would suppose SO from the attend
ance the case commands, as the house is gen.
orally crowded. 1t was conceded by all parties,
that Judge Shefey, on yesterday, in speech
OF some four hours length, surpassed anything
OF the klnd ut being law peintl that has Oc-
CURED in this court for years. The Judge car
ried his poiot not only by the opinion Of the
Court, but with the appreciation of all bearers,

As our ex-senator has concluded never TO al

Letters from the People.

An Amateur Reporter on Soiree.
Editor Spectator:
Your reporter gave brief,
very brief too brief notice of the musical enter
tainment at Zion Church, In your paper Of the
18th. He either failed to be entertained him
self, or was incapable of approaching the
sublime, souI-inspiring strains, to which he
was permitted to listen.
The occasion was the closing exercises of the
musical class taught by Mrs Hamilton during
the Winter, ct Zion Church, near Waynesboro.
Permit me to say that Mrs. FL. is a good vocal
ist and lady OF rare administrative ability
''rung her household (class) wel." She was
assisted by Professor Drake, Ia gentleman dis
tinguished alike for the compass of bis voice
and the size of his mouth, )who presided at the
organ and by Professor Leonard, (who, though
small in statue is a man among musicians, and
Mrs. George Coiner, lone OF the finest alto
singersI have ever heard, and By o host of
smaller satellites, who constituted the reserve
force. Among these, some were tall and some
we're short, some were fair and some were fair
er; but one was more conspicuous than the
rest, on account of his age and bald head, form
ing so strong contrast with the surrounding
juVanility, Said bald headed boy seemed deter
mined to make up for his evident lack OF musi
cal talent. by the violence and rapidity of his
gesticulation, usually spoken of as keeping
time Mote! When you and were play
ing soldier, few years ago, ICE kept time soith
our feet. to the music of hepl hep hep! ID
He struck right, lett, down, up and all around,
with such violence as to endanger all who were
near him. / said to myself, Lay on McDuf
His earnestness seemed to evidence his deter
mination to conquer or die" The audience
was large and intelligent, and gave evidence of
their appreciation by their frequent applauding.
Indeed they applauded sometimes when an
old fogy, like your correspondent. could not see
the point at which the applause came in
There were spirits there that were not obedient
to the subduipg influence Of music's gentle
strains. The selection of pieces (rare and new)
was good and the singing delightful, The dis
loyal spirit manifested by the performers 10 the
rendering of two of the pieces, Victoria and
''Lubin is our Fairy King" would have caused
Mr.. GRAFT, had he been present, to hasten back
to Washington, and order out the military to
preserve the Unon
But the most attractive feature of the even
ing was little, five year old girl, the daughter
of Prof Leonard, who stood upon chair and
sang 10 fine style the alto, to the accompani-
mept of the organ, and one soprano voice, to
Il Il pray for thee at Nightfall," and Fair as
the Morning."
The evenings entertainment wound up with
dialog,cdl song, rendered in fine style by Mrs
Prot Hamilton and Prot Leonard, known as
"Mr. Browns Courtship. This brought down
the house and the curtain, and closed the per
formance much to the satisfaction OF the en-
tire audience More anon,
