Hi. Henry's Minstrels made their
first appearance in Washington Hall
in this place on Thursday night last.
They were greeted with 4 large and
a~ppreciative audience, and gave an
entertainment which, taken all in all.
has never been surpassed, if equalled,
by any troupe visiting our town. 1t
is q clean show, renders what it adj
vertises and has some of the best
performers of the day-all gentle
men, and every man an artist. The
Company travels in its own car,
which is attractive in its outside APP
p%earance and n perfect model of
convenience and comfort within.

Thursday next is designated by the
President of the United States and
the Governor of this State as a day
Of Thanksgiving and Prayer, and we
hope its observance will be general
and sincere in our county; that BUS
mess will as far as possible be sus-
pended; that there may not be the
mere outward formality of closed
blinds, whilst proprietor and clerk, or
either of them, remain behind the
counter and wait upon customers with
out ccssation-but a w~hOlc-sOulcd,
genuine observance of the day, &C
cording to the full intent of the proc
lamati0ns by the executive heads of
our State and Federal governments.

thanking those who wore the gray
who participated in the ceremonies
incident to the dedication of the mon

Join II. Hewitt, in his WAR Sketches
in the Balttmorean, gives the follow
ing paragraph regarding the noble
women and gallant soldiers of this
locality:
The wild joy with which the inhab-
%itants, especially the ladies. greeted
our army in Winchester and Charles
town, can be more readily imagined
than described. The 2ud Virginia
Regiment, composed of volunteers
from jefferson, Clarke and Berkeley,
marched through Charlestown with
scarcely a halt; such was the pres
sure of military discipline their brave
commander enforced, that they Meth
err asked or received the privilege of
hating to shake hands with dear
ones and friends, though a twelve
month and more had passed away
since they took the field. The activ-
ity of the perpetual I" forward" seems
to pervade this entire army in every
department. In the ordnance they
never get out of ammunition, in the
Quartermaster Departmentthey never
lose baggage or stores, whether drawn
from the government or captured
from the enemy; in the Commissa-
riat no army in the field has been so
weil-almost luxuriously fed.

Musical Association Concert.


The Concert given at Washington
Hall, by the Charlestown Musical As
ISOLATION, last Friday evening, for the
benefit of The Lee Memorial Associ-
alton, was a decided success. The
audience was a good one, the pro-
gramme well selected, and its rem
dition, under the skillful direction of
Madame Ruhl, highly pleasing and
entertaining. Where all did so well
we dislike to be invidious. We can,
however. freely say that the Charles
town Musical Association embraces
some of the best musical talent in our
town, and is an organization of which
our people may justly be proud. We
hope to be able to announce another
concert by the Association in the not
distant future. The following is the
