SALE.— IO be sold at once , a house and

over News Room. Sept. 6, 1865.—2 m.
It is announced that MR. C. JEROME
HOPKINS, the celebrated Organist from New York
will give a concert in Troy, on Wednesday even
ing ; and we have been informed that measures
have been initiated by some of our citizens to in
duce him to come to Towanda.
Mr. Hopkins is an organist and composer of
wide reputation, and his whole artistic career
has been marked by the endeavor to elevate as
well as charm the public taste. It is to the disin
terested eflorts of such artists as Mr. Hopkins
that the public owes much of its musical culture.
We are now beginning to recognize the fact, that
music, like oratory, is an art which appeals to the
public heart, a language which conveys the migh
tiest thoughts, and which needs only to be known,
to become among us, as in Italy and Germany the
vernacular of the people.
It is this intellectual character which has always
distinguished Mr. Hopkins' compositions, and he
has always striven to maintain that, as Americans
are more intellectual and are actuated by higher
feeling than the people of European nations, Amer
ican music must eventually take the lead in the
world. He makes a constant appeal to the patriot
ism of his countrymen, and desires pre-eminence
in art, as well as in freedom.
Mr. Hopkins' execution upon the Organ is some
thing wonderful. He evokes from the pipes their
hundred voices—he flings out whole handsful of
chords, harmonies and progressions of harmonies
roll out from beneath his fingers—he calls forth
the harping of birds, the murmur of streams, the
sighing of winds, and through all the heroic strains
of humanity struggling and conquering—he throws
in the sweet, high notes the amenities of nature and
in the minor strains vails out the requium of mor
tality—and with the pedals reveals the majestic
tread of conquering immortality.
We trust Mr. Hopkins may be induced to come
to Towanda, and that the citizens will give him a
reception worthy of his genius and reputation.
Rev. Mr. Douglass hoping to secure this great
advantage for our citizens has offered Mr. Hopkins
the use of the Organ in the Episcopal Church.

AGENTS WANTED FOR THE SECRET

The most interesting and exciting book evi-r publish
ed, embracing Mr. Richardson's un para lied experience
for four years ; traveling through the South in the se
cret service of the "Tribune"' at the outbreak ol the
war, with our armies and fleets, both East aid West
during the first two years of the Rebellion; his thrilling
captnre ; his confinement (or twenty mouths in seven
different rebel prisons ; his escape, and almost miracu
lous journey by night of nearly 400 milts. It will
abound in stirring events, and contain more of the fact,
incident and romance el the war than uuy other work
published.
HORACE GREELEY says:—-'A great rnauy books will
yet be written concerning this War, in addition to the
many already in priut ; but not one of theiu will give
within a similar compass a clearer, fuller, more readable
account, entirely from personal observation, of the na.
ture, animus, purposes, tendencies and instrumentalities
of the Slaveholders' Rebellion than does the unpretend
ing narrative ot Mr. Richardson."
Teachers, ladies, energetic young men, and especial
ly returned and disabled officers and soldiers, in want of
profitable employment, will tind it peculiarly adapted
to their condition. We have agents clearing $175 per
month, which we will prove to any doubtiug applicant.
