NITRIC 41 ir
'ITALIAN - uew opera, Romeo
Gielletta, was produced last evening at the
Academy of Music, the audience being a large
one. considering the severely cold weather and
the attractions to the public elsewhere. The
principal scenes of Shakespeare's drama are
given in the opera, and the music bears marks
'of great care and thought. As Gounod's repu
tation was made iu this country by his Faust,
most of the audience made comparisons of the
new opera with' the older one, forgetting that a
etimpos.er of real talent tries to avoid imitations
of himself. There arc, indeed, 110
situations in Romeo and Alice that
could demand music like that written
for the Kermesse, or
,for the Soldiers' chorus, or
for Mephistopheles. And yet the best qualities
of the music of Faust are to be found, in the
music of Romeo and Juliet. Melodies that avoid
the common-place forms to an almost painful de
gree; harmonies and modulations that are con
tinually creating surprises; instrumentation elabo
rated to the finest degree,
and often producing
novel and striking effects, while avoiding the
stunning noise that is so often the chief agent
for producing an effect—these may be mentioned
as prominent traits of M. Gounod's new eompo
given. - •
T le opera opens. after a brief orchestral intros
auction, with a prelude sung by the chorus, and
chiefly without accompaniment. This lasts bat
a few moments and the curtain falls to rise again
on the first act, early in which "Juliet" (Miss
Hauck) appears, with her father. There are
some charming choral strains that announce her
approach, and she sings a pretty air, in waltz
time. A more novel and characteristic air is that
of "Capulet" (AutOutteci) which follows—a brisk,
jovial song, accompanied,. at the close, by a
chorus. "Mercutio" (Bellini) has also a capital
song in the same act—the ballad of Queen Mob,
sung to "Romeo" (Pancani). In the next scene,
where "Juliet" appears with the nurse, she
sings a brilliant and very beautiful
waltz air, and in the next scene, where "Romeo"
encounters her, he declares his love and she re
turns it, the duet being charming. The finale
of the act. where the guests discover "Romeo,"
is very spirited, but the author avoids all the com
mon tricks that are used to make finales effec
tive.
The balcony . scene opens the second act.
"Romeo's" music, both recitative and melody, is
full of tenderness and passion. That of "Juliet"
is no lessee, and the duo at the close of the act,
"Ah non partir," is singularly beautiful. The
situation in this act is not unlike, the garden scene
in Faust, but the musical treatment of it Is quite
different.
The fourth act gives the scene in the cell
of "Friar Lawrence." The marriage scene is
very impressive, and the music for it
extremely well written, especially the
little quartette at the close of the scene.
The page "Stephano' (Mile. Roneoni), has then
a quite long and characteristic song, which loses
its effect because the singer's voice and manner
arc not equal to it. The rest of the act. which
includes the deaths of. "Mercutio" and "Tybalt"
(Signor Testa), is very spirited, the instrumen
tation and the choruses being remarkably rich.
"The fourth act, which represents "Juliet's"
chamber, opens, after a brief recitative, with a
duct exquisitely tender and full of passion. It is
highly elaborated, especially in the second pass
ago, where the lark and the "jocund day"give
warning that it is time to part. The subsequent
scene, where "Juliet" hears of her father's deter
mination to marry the "County Paris," and re
ceives the drug from "Friar Lawrence," is full of
fine declamatory and dramatic music. The tomb
scene affords some magnificent passages for
"Romeo," and Paseani sang them all with great
intelligence and tenderness. The finale, between
the two lovers, is also extremely impressive.
The new opera is so elaborate and its music •at
-times so severe and learned,that it cannot be ap
preciated at one hearing. While less effective
than Faust, no one who knows anything about
music can say that it is less well written or less
deserving of admiration. The role of "Juliet"
is well adapted to Miss Hauck, whose youth and
' beauty fairly represent the poet's ideal. Pancani
is not, in appearance, the ideal of "Romeo,"
but he is a fine actor and very impassioned
singer. The other characters are not important,
but they ate competently filled, except that of
the tinge, which might be omitted with advan
tage to the cast.
This evening Luerezin Ilaigia will be played,
with Mme. Gazzaniga, Mme. Testa, Baragli and
'Antonucci in the principal characters. For to
morrow evening Linda is announced, with Miss
Hauck in the title ride. _ .

The funeral of Mr. Bradbury took place at the

Miss Fanny Crosby, who Las written so many
verses for Mr. B. She was led up to take a fare
well grasp of the cold hand of her friend.
The galleries were filled with children, who
sung at the opening Mr. B.'s beautiful tune to
Miss Crosby's words :
We are going, we are going,
To a home beyond the skies;
Where the fields are robed iu beauty,
And the sunlight never dies.
In front of the pulpit stood it square casket of

relation to his heavenly home. An elegant star
of japonica was also contributed by a friend and
neighbor,_ The body was laid out Iu a full suit of
black, and death seemed to have produced little
change. The funeral was conducted by Mr. Hull

After the reading of appropriate selections of
Scripture, Dr. Clapp was introduced as his early
friend, and made an address, in which he exhi

[From the New York Timex.]
Ricumaso, Va., Monday, Jan. 13.—General
Butler arrived here at 1.30 to-day, and was met
at the depot by au innumerable multitude of
negroes and a delegation of white members of
the Convention. The negroes mounted guard,
with drawn sabres, music and banners, and
acted as hie escort-to the Ballard Hotel. The
streets were thronged with people to see him as,
he passed, in an open carriage, accompanied
by Mr Wardwell and a colored man
named Brooks. His reception was cer
tainly a grand ovation on the part of. the
blacks, and it wail evident that he - is - first in their
hearts. At the Ballard he was waited upon by
General Schofield and staff and a large number
of prominent Union men, while the curiosity of ,
the Southern people to sec him was intense. It
was known that he was to speak at the African.
Church in the evening; the crowd commenced
collecting at :1 o'clock, and by 6 the church was
densely packed, and all the approaches to it
blocked up. SUch a multitude of negroes
was never before seen gathered there.
lt was with • the-.utmost difficulty that General
Butler could , find an entrance through the solid
mass when he arrived. An organization was
finally effected. Mr. Wardell took the chair.
(;en. Butler was introduced amid a succession of
the wildest cheers—banners waving, music play
ing„, handkerchiefs flaunting. Gen. Butler spoke
an hour and a half. Ile commenced at the Revo
lutionary. War, which was fought to establish
the independence of the nation
and the inalienable tights of man,
and spoke of the Constitution as
a perpetual compact entered into by our fathers
to secnre liberty to their posterity, but they had
not foreseen the evils that must flow from one
blighting cause.--the institution of slavery—
which they left intact in tithe belief that it
would • die out. It existed thus in almost
every State in the Union. They enacted
that the slave-trade should cease after a short
time, and they- believed it would cease;
but slavery became profitable, and it In
creased. lie then gave a full history of the war
in Congress between the Slave Power and the
Free Scalers, concluding it with the election of
Mr. Lincoln and the war made upon the Union
for the perpetuation ofthe institittien. Up to that
time many in the North believed they were bound
to sustain slavery, but when war came every
man was • released from those obligations. At
the -beginning of the war slaves , were retained,
but at length statesmen ameed that slavery
should be eradicated. Here fellowed a relation
of the facts connected with gradual abolition, in
which he busily took'an active part. It was not
accomplished till one hundred thousand black
men had fought and bled. and it was the fault of
those who went into rebellion that the slaves
were made free. He went on to draw a parallel
between what the white people say of the
negroes now and what was said fifty years ago
by the English of the American nation. It
wits taunted with having no statesmen or soldiers,
and with being of account • but we have
found their assertions' false. ,This is what the
Southern people now ssy o[The '.Ganes, who will
in thirty years hence prove the fallacy of their
ideas. The South had never been prosperous
and never would be until the rich proprietors
should divide and sell their lands, and that the
negroes would ultimately become the possessors
of tracts and homesteads, and be a prosperous,
industrious and enlightened people. One thing still
remained from the upheavingot the French Revo
lution—the division of the lands. He advised the
landholders to sell, and those who had none, to
tiny, for thereby they would become a portion of
the great conservative as well as the radical insti
tutions of the country. In 1850 the Southern
people held that great statesman of Massachu
setts, Pattie! Webster, by his constitutional
shackle's, and forced the Northern people to swal
low their prejudices against slavery. He now re
turned to Virginia, after this lapse of years, to
teach the Southern people new ideas, to divide
their estates and place the negro upon an equality
with themselves. They would have to come
down to this. He had been told that the negroes
wanted to be the dominant power, but he saw
CO evidence of it; all they seemed to desire was
their rights. Speaking ofa war of races; he said
if anything of the kind was ever contemplated it
would have been done during the recent war, and
»ot,at this late period when the negro was de
sirons of being placed in harmony with his late
master. At the surrender of Lee the rebels
were Willing to accept any --terms i - -and
• even to grant the right of suffrage: but
the success , of the elections -in the . North,-
and the unwise action of the President, had de
luded the Southern people and caused them to be
lieve that there was something better in store for
them than the Radicals would give; but the Gov
el-molt must goon as It is till March, 1869, and
by that time.the matter would be settled some
way. A Democratic President can do no more
than Johnson can do , now; for the Senate will
remain the same for the next six years. The
right of suffrage was accorded the negroes as a
es fegnard and not from motives of revenge, and
as soon as the whites were. willing to come for-
Mard and take part in the Government with
joyal and true hearts, he was willing to repeal all
test oaths and penalties and receive them, bat he
would not let go the reins as long as the horse
balks. He paid a high tribute to the colored
people present, some of whom ho recognized as
Wing seen in battle; and as they had shown them
selves good soldiers, he trusted they would be
able to prove themselves good American citizens.
"With malice toward none and charity to all,"
they should march steadily forward to that high
destiny which God in His providence has marked
! out for American citizens and American freemen.

tet ruintd to attain infamous notoriety both as a
personal traducer and panegyrist.
Undertaking ostensibly to write, Gen. Grant's
biography, he has commenced the hopeless task
of writing him into the Presidency. In this
effort he has gone out of the way to assail me,
and only echoes his master's malevolence.
• It is rather, then, of his master, from his posi

very briefly speak. Let him publish the cares

Sometimes Gen. Grant's sense of justice, but
oftener his passions, have controlled his conduct
toward Me. Especially has this boon the case
since the brilliant and successful issue of the
Mississippi campaign, in which the Thirteenth
Army Corps,whlch I had the honor to command,
bore such a meritorious part. In his official re

or malice. falsifies important facto, honorable to
that corps and to me, to the disparagement of
