The Tennessee Jubilee Singers.

Cdlloto SINC ouC VI CACh SitSA ec''A
ments in Columbia Hall last even
ing, but as it occurred subsequently
to the hour of our paper going to
press, we cannot speak Of them 9th
erwise than from their reputation
elsewhere. That their singing is of
more than ordinary merit, will be
readily believed from the eulogies
of the press and the testimony of
those who have heard them. The
history of the organization of this
company is not devoid OF interest at
this juncture, and hence we quote a
brief extract from their -1drance
Courier: cat the close of the war,
when General Thomas was prepar-
ing to muster out his victorious
army, one of the large hospitals was
converted into schools for hundreds
of eager children, and Christian
school for the education of the Freed
men was established. It was the
first institution established in the
South for the education of Freedmen
with this distinct and avowed pur-
pose. There was one draw back,
however, to the success attending
the enterprise. The hospital build
ing was unsuited to the uses of
the institution, and it was deter
mined to purchase a site for great
and permanent university. In Or
der to raise money for this purpose,
a plan was approved by the trustees,
to give concerts with a band of sing
ers selected from among the stu
dents. The teaching of vocal music
became Il branch of the education,
and soon q large choir of singers was
organized from which to select a
band whose gift of song had been
developed incidentally, and to en-
ploy it to save the institution that
had sheltered and instructed them.
1t was not intended that they should
appear as professional musicians.
They only sought to do whatn nature,
more than art, had taus, hit them, to
interpret the spiritual and religious
power of the slave songs of the
South, and thus touch the hearts of
the Christian people wherever they
went, and secure heirsympathy and
liberal aid"
Their success has been remark
able, and this is the fifth year they
have went forth ona growing COM
mission" to earn funds with which to
endow their institution. The object
itself is sufficient to enlist the SYM
patty of everybody who is willing
to extend helping hand to a
down-trodden people. They per-
form again tonight, in the same
hall, and we doubt not full house
will greet their efforts.

FOREIGN TRADE.-One result of the
Centennial Exhibition is already be-
coming apparent in the increase of
exports of articles of which other ma
tons have enjoyed almost a monop-
oily. Late kilograms refer to meet
ings held by tradesmen in Birming-
ham, to consider the crisis that is
rendered inevitable by the keeness
in American competition. The con-
ference was mainly of those engaged
in the iron interest. The decline in
Swiss exports to America is engag-
ing tho attention of the Commits
sioner-general, and he attributes it
to the development of genius and
superior skill in this country. He
believes that Switzerland must be
prepared ior warm rivalry in silk
and watches.

The New SEoRETARY.-Mr. N. Fl.
Owings, the newly appointed Sec
rotary of the Territory, arrived in
this city with his family, a few days
ago, having came as passenger on
the last trip of the city Of Panama.
He has assumed the duties of his
Office, and Mr.. Strive has joined
that innumerable carrivan" of pa
triots who serve their country without
fee or reward. We may now say
that Notwithstanding his politics,
Mr.. Struve has made a faithful, hon.
est and capable public officer, and
retires possessing in an eminent
degree the confidence and respect
OF those who know him best. Mr..
Owens is a native of Indiana, and
served i'll the army during tho war.
A. the close of his military service,
he was appointed Register of the
Land Office in Colorado. He sub
sequently held the position of Spe-
cial Agent of the Postal Railway
Service. It is quite probable, there
fore, that he possesses the requisite
experience to discharge the duties
of his present Office acceptably to
the public.
