the second reign Of William, son Of Moses,
when there was peace throughout all the
land, when the Modocs Of the West had
buried the bloody tomahawk beneath their
lsva-beds, and together smoked the pipe Of
peace; when the Hitites Of the East had
blown from their nostrils the stencil which
had arisen from the extract Of swine, their
came from their midst, even from one Of
the high places Of the Hitites wailing and
gnashing of teeth, and a swapping and
cracking as of a mighty horse whip, WELD
ed by the hand of vigorous warrior; then
there fell upon the land a ealm-not hike
that of perfect repose, but like that which
falls upon the deep after the first burst Of
the storm, and the sturdy mariner shakes
his head, and breads and waits. Thus it
was, when early one morning, the High
Constable might have been seen marching
in high state toward the abode of the Hi
tites and soon returned with Septa, who is
mentioned in the first book Of the Chroni-
eles of the Hitites and Napoleon ", in Gus
tody, and proceeded forthwith to the kings
castle, which is in Windsor, wherein sat
William in high state, and among the
lookers-on sat Freeman, the mighty, and
John Quincy, the second, associates Of VIII
liam, to see that justice should be dispens-
ed to the Hitites. Then there arose q
mighty man of small stature, who signs his
name with ''agent9 as an appendage, and
spoke thusly:
May it please your Highness, have been
sOrely and previously horse-whipped BY
these rulers of the Hitites, and pray you
that they may be bound over to appear at
the high tribunal of the land. And after
hearing the evidence, William said unto
the man with the livid countenance and
frey crest, ''Thy petition is granted; these
rulers shall give bonds to appear at the
high tribunal of the land" And the null

The nIusleal Union Concert.


The concert of the Musical Union on
Tuesday evening last, called out a rather
moderate house. The performance was,
however, Of creditable character as a
whole, while portions of the entertainment
could hardly be surpassed by any mere
amateur vocalists. Some of the voices
were among the best in the place, and
made effective by cultivated taste of exc
cution. We dare not undertake to discrim-
mate, as determinations are odious to mu-
sicians-especially to those Disseminated
against. The character of the music was
sufficiently varied to suit the different
tastes, and the audience gave ample evi-
dence Of their pleasure The introduction
Of Barney Richards Ducth song, the
three Gipsy girls, and the old folks, under
the lead Of the old veteran-Silas Fassett,
and the responsive eourting scene, by Mr..
Sperry and lady, were rather marked fea-
tures of the evening, as contributions Of
novelties for popular taste. The editor
Of the Nsles handles the baton like a pro
fessional teacher, and as to his voice, we
had entertained no adequate conception Of
its fsxibility, richness and depth of tone.
Mr.. Williams, who presided at the piano,
did so with good taste and ready ability.
Thereceipts, we fear, were hardly equal to
either the merits or wants Of the Union.
The Symphonians kindly favored US with
a sample Of their music upon Yiolins and
double bass.

The Georgia excursionists have returned,
excepting Messrs. Sanderson and Hall, who
have extended their journeyings down to
the Gulf State-FIorida-an do not ex-
pect to return before the middle or latter
part of April. Neither of these gentlemen
an in the enjoyment of very rugged health,
and Mr.. Sanderson, particularly. suffered
considerably from the trying character OF
the weather, which was raw and dissgreea-
BILE. Messrs. Crosby and Humphrey reach
ed home several days since-the latter gem
tleman somewhat out of health. Mr.. c.
gives US very agreeable account Of the
trip, and speaks in high terms Of their
treatment, not only by the gentlemen i'm
mediately connected with getting up the
excursion, but by the citizens generally
all with whom they came in contact. There
was no delicaey manifested in conversing
of the ''unpleasantness, the old Confeder-
ate soldiers asserting that they did their
best, but were fairly s.licked.n Some of
them admitted that the war had opened
their eyes with regard to the character of
slavery. They had not before had thought
of its immortality and wrong. They had
now accepted the situation-the results of
the war-and we're ready for peace and
friendship. Some of the old colored people
showered their blessing upon the yam
KEGS, in return for The nickels which were
distributed among them.
The object of the invitation to visit the
State was to put things upon as favorable
footing as the facts would warrant for
the encouragement of settlement The con-
clusion arrived at by our excursionists may
be summed up briefly, in high spprecia-
tion of the climate, an abundance of cheap
lands. much deprecated, and an earnest
desire of settlement, and the sequence of
an infusion of northern energy, industry
and thrift. To bring this about, the best
inducements are offered in hospitality, the
reign of law and respect of private rights,
considerations that for so many years pre-
vious and since the war, have deferred our
northern people from casting their lot in so
many localities south of Mason & Dixon's
line. The course of the citizens of Georgia
is worthy of their patriotism as well as
sound policy.
