Tne Headquarters at National Guards'
Hall.
The National Guards' Hall, on Race street,
between Fifth and Blxtn, has been selected as
the general headquarters of all tbe societies
during the continuance of the festival. To pre
pare it for these purposes tbe Interior and ex
terior have been elaborately decorated, at an
expense of about $2000. On the railing in front
of the gallery at the rear of the hall there Is a
large glided harp, adorned with roses and sur
mounted by an arch of silver stars, Below this
Is a crimson curtain fringed with gold, and the
large trl-oolored shield of the United States.
At the rear of the gallery are lull-length por
traits of Mozart and Beethoven, the one reclin
ing his head upon a desk, the other standing
erect. Surround in if each is the representation
of a large wreath of evergreens, entwined with
bands ol different colors, on which are inscribed
the titles of the principal operas and oratorios
of these great masters.
On the wall to tbe tisht. as you enter the
hall, are similar representations ot Haydn, Men
delssohn, Schubert, Gluck, and Mejerbeer. To
the left are the portraits of Wagner, Haudel,
Weber, Abt, and Bach. These are tbe produc
tion of Stoeckhardt, of New York city. Between
the portraits, on all tides of the hall, are varie
gated shields, bearing the names of the Phila
delphia and visiting societies, alternating with
lavorite German motto in the language of the

The Programme for Sunday.
Sunday will be nominally a day of rest and
recreation: but it Is doubtful if much ot the
former will be enioved bv the nartir.inants. on
account of the excitement which will naturally
attend the final preparations for the treat events
of the week. The "Liedcrkranz. of New York.
who are the special cuests of the
of this city, will devote the day to an excursion
clown the Delaware, which has been tendered
them by their hosts. The steamer Pilot Bov has
Decn secured for the occasion, and will Iphv th
second wharf below Arch street at in nV inr-t tn
the morning, returning by 8 in the evening. As
two lull brass bunds will accompany tbe party,
it may be anticipated that they will enjoy itioru-
- neRrtllv in the pood old fashion of the
r-l'therfllfiOi 8oc,etics wi" amuse them
selves ,by feoihg on excursions to the laburos ot
the cltyt I'M Hlenherchor Of tbid city have
charteitu he steamer Star, on which they will
make an excursion up the river with the Ger
roania Mamuerchor of Baltimore, the Teutonia
MecuDcrchor of New York, and the Wilkesbarre
Mannerchor as their guests.
Tbe Great Concert of Monday
evenil,K
will be the most attractive feature of
tbe lestival. A rehearsal will be elrai at 10
o'clock in the morning at the Academy ot Music,
and It is announced that the holders of tickets
who desire to avoid the gret crowd tftat will
be present in the evening will be admitted to
this preliminary concert.
in the evening tbe grand concert will take
5t is expected thai
the afl'alr will entirely surpass everything that
has been witnessed there in a musical way.
Tbe orchestra, selected from among the best
instrumentalists of Philadelphia, will open the
exercises by the performance of the grand
overture to Weber's opera of Vberon. This
will be followed bv two grand com-

Psalm, to be sung by ihe Baltlmoreans. But
the creat tea'.ure of the evenlnz will be the
singing of several choruses by about twenty five
hundred voices in concert an achievement
which has never yet been attempted in this
country. Tbe pieces selected are the following:
Handel.
Tbe Prize Concert on Tuesday Evening,
to be held at the Academy ot Music, will deter
mine tbe ouestiou as to what societies are to be
the recipients of the prizes. At the two last
festivals, the first prize has been awarded to the
Sirrperbund ot this citr. but on this occasion
none of the Philadelphia societies will euter
into the competition.
The prizes are three in number, consisting of
a silver goblet, a beauuiui ciecoratea Dann er,
manufactured by Klein, of New York, and a
handsome sash and banuer.
The first of these, the grand prize of the festi
val, is of great intrinsic value, being sixteeu
inches lu length, and of the most elaborate
manufacture. The ornamentation is very fine.
Un the too of the 11 1 is tbe Goddess ot Music in
effigy, and around the body are the busts of
three distinguished musical characters. It
bears au inscription in German, stating that it
is tne prize oi tne xentn uenerai oientreriest,
held in Philadelphia lroni July 13 to July 18.
18C7. This fine specimen of the silversmith's
art was manufactured by George Sharpe and
Christian Laug, of this city, and Is certainly a
credit to the ingenuity and workmanship of
Philadelphia mechanics.
Tbe following eminent Philadelphia must
duns have been selected as the Committee to
deterniiue upon the award of tbe prizes:
Messrs. Gairtner, Fischer, h.unzer, Hememann,
and Uartman.
The following Societies will compete for the
prizes above-named: The Colonla, Llederkranz,
Mozart Verein, Beethoven Mtennerchor, tiar
Aurora, ot Egg Harbor City; Eintracht, or

Military Instruction In Colleges.
Major Whittlesey, of the regular arm v, has,
under the direction of General Grant, and by
special order of Becretary Stunton, after con
sultation with the authorities of the principal
colleges of the United States, matured a plau
lor the introduction ot a system ot military la-
struction into the colleges.
The plan proposed by Maior Whittlesey is in
the loroi of an Act, which It is expected Con
giess will pass at an early day. It provide
that upon the application of any established
college having the attendance ot two huodred
students, tbe President of the United States
shall detail an army officer to act as a military
proiessor, ana wnne so empioyea to naveiue
rank and pay of a lieuteuant-colouel, if he
has served twenty years in the army, and
if he has the rank and pay of a major.
The President shall likewise detail a compe
tent lieutenant ot the army to act as mili
tary assistant. Whenever any college has esta
blished a course of instruction In military
studies, this act provides thatth enecessary text
books shall be issued gratuitously to tne stu
dents, and a suitable collection of military
books ot reierence be auaeu to toe coiiege
library, and military maps, models, eic, bo
furnished lor the lecture-room. The course
ot study is to comprise "Instruction In the
Theory of Ordnunce, Projectiles and Gun
nery, in Military Engineering, in Military
j,aw ana tne rracuce ot courts juaruai.
and in the Art of War." It is provided that
from each class as it graduates hve shall be
selected who have distinguished themselves for
general proficiency in the collegiate course,
special attainments in military science, ana ot
good moral character and ol sound health, and
that the names of thee five shail be publisher
in the Army Register, and that one of the rive
shall be commissioned as a Second L'eutenant
in the United States Army, upon precisely ihe
same footing as sraduates ot West Point.
The Plan has beeu presented to the Faculty ot
Amherst College, and has received their approval.
The Trustees are to act upon it ut the present
Commencement.
Exterminating tbe Indians.
Those riprsom who talk hghtlv of "extermi
nating the hostile Indian tribes,'' as though it
was a comparatively easy matter to ao tnis oy
lorce ol arms, are no doubt ignorant or misin
formed as to the actual numbers and poer of
these fighting tribes. It is for their benefit,
therefore, that we give below a statement of
tbeir numbers, and the prooaole strength ot the
confederation drawn trom them, as it is made
by a border newspaper. This statement is as
cllows:
Apaches ' 7,000
Arapahoes ,iiou
Blackfeel o.WH)
Crows 8,000
Camanches t'O.OOO
Klowas... 4,000
Cbfyennes 2.500
uroB ventres 600
Ml ii a tares 2,500
Naveloes 7.600
Kloux 22,000
Tota) , 78.0U0
These are only the prominent tribes, most of
whom are more or less hostile, and as each may
not be drawn into the confederation ot which
Red Cloud is the head will carry on the fig at
Independently. Should the league be as com
plete as indicated, comprising many small tribes
not above enumerated, it would possibly etn-
biace ioo.oou souls. This would enable R-d
Cloud to bring 25,000 to 30,000 warriors into
the field, the mobt of them mounted and well
armed.
With the above figures before them, readers
may see what a bloody and expensive work a
war of extermination would Drovp. to sav
nothing of its wholesale barbarity, and the great
uuki laiuiy oi its uuai success.
With such an enemy conuuest mav be cam-
paiatively easy, but extermination is exceed
ingly problematical, while conciliation is as
suredly easier and cheaper than eitoer. After
all, the Iudianb have undouoted wrongs and
outrages to complain of ad well as we. aud
where there are errors on bath sides, it is
well tor the stronger to temper justice with
mercy. .
