EXTBACt FROM A. LETTFR. London, July 16tli, 1851. ‘l presume tliat you have already liad vol umes recounted to you of tlio manifold perfec tions and numerous excellencies of Catharine Hayes, the last great vocalist England has re cently found. In truth the present is, or has been, very prolific of musical celebrities. eon tan had vanished but, turned up again as Ma dame Rossi, with a fresher and more exquisite voice than. ever sh« had before. Alboiu vras discovered, Tiardot Garcia returned to us, Jenny Lind culminated, .and Catharine Hayes arose, while Persian! was the only star upon the vocal stage whose lustre dimmed on the horizon. Well you had .Tenny Lind amongst you and her success has been so magnificently beyond nil anticipation—having indeed, cast the- tri umphs of Fanny EUsler and the rewards of Ole Bull completely, iuto the shade—that a second flight of singing birds is about to wing its way to your shores, and I confess , myself somewhat cu rious - to know what manner of reception it will meet with. - . , . In fact, Catliarinc Hayes is more the class ol singer to captivate your public than any other with whom I havef )r some time heenacquamted She is strikingly handsome, and is, perhaps, one of the loveliest prxma donnas that wo have yet had on tlio Italian stage in England, Her hair is auburn in color, with a slight tendency to red —her eyes are a deep and vivid blue, and the whole contour of her face is classically correct and beautiful. This, of course,, would weigh for little, were she not also, a great vocalist; for Fa vanti> alias Miss Edwards, the contrafto who ap peared on the boards of Lumley’s opera (Her Majesty's Theatre) some years since was singu larly beautiful. She, however, labored under the strango incapacity of being unable to sing „in tune, and this,’of course, rondoredher unsuc cessful after her first appearance, when her face took the'house by storm. On the second night the audience began to think about her singing, : and on the morning following she was severely criticised by the press. Then came her third appearance, and after this she stood “nowhere” in public estimation. • Miss Hayes, however, has nothing of this to fear, for our musical criticism has made immense progress since tliat period, in addition to which the rivalry of the two establishments has placed it out of possibility for any singer to bo: cried up beyond her real merits. As Covent Garden naturally takes every possible means of calling public attention to the deficiencies of Her Ma- jesty’s Theatre, so Her Majesty’s is ever prone to point out the defects of any singer who makes her appearance at the other theatre. In fact, Catharine Haves has a most brilliant and clear zjooranoy which lias been cultivated by her with the greatest success Under two of the most able • teachers in Europe—Garcia and Filipo Ronconi. Indeed, she was a very nearly three years study ing under the first named of these two masters ; and, previous to her going to Milan to study un der Ronconi, I had heard her, and confess that I should have considered her musical education finished. Indeed, I scarcely know what she could have gained under Filipo Ronconi, uuless it was the experience of the stage, as he super intended her first debut at Mitan. where she was strikingly successful, haviilg from tliat moment occupied the first place upon the opera stage in Italy. Here she sung at the opera in Milan, Naples, and Florence, afcd everywhere with a success which was unexampled. Indeed, her first benefit, at Milan, produced one of those houses where judgment seems completely merged in enthusiasm, and stamped her as pre-eminent ly the favorite of the Italians. Her fiorituri are unexampled in their Bweetncss and flexibility with which she employs them, while the passion; and ucrvtf with which she brings out the more forci- bly dramatic portion other music more thnn equal even her skill. Indeed, it is in her thorough appreciation of the intention of the composer that I consider the power of Catherine Hayes principally resi des. She seems to feel with and for him, and - never fails to bring out every bit of meaning and intention whifch he has given to his composition. As a dramatic artist, (nor do I apply this to the stereotyped form of the lyric drama, but to her singing m the concert room of oven an Irish balr lad or a common English air,) she confers inter est on themostcommon-place thought, and Borne half-dozen of her Irish ballads are, indeed, the finest aud sweetest examples of lyric feeling— I had almost said passion, although the words would have been out of place hero—which I have ever heard. I am somewhat anxious to hear what success she will have on your shores. Of course there can scarcely be as great a pecuniary success as Mile. Lind has had ; yet I have no hesitation in anticipating for “la holla Catarina” an oven greater success in point of reputation. Sho will • gain insensibly upon you every time you hear her; and in a year if you do not write and tell -mo that she stands fully as high in reputation, all over the States, as Mademoiselle Lind now does, I scarcely know what I shall think of your capability ofjudging music. Suffice it now, that you will have in two months more, the freshest voice and one of the greatest of modern vocalists among you, and I trust, as I firmly believe, that she will have no reason to regret her pres ent determination to see America. Costume oftlte Soldiers of the Revolution. A correspondent of the Philadelphia North American says it would be very gratifying as well ns useful, if some one or more of the now remaining “ oldest inhabitant’* would contribute to the public press their recollections of: two important items of Revolutionary fact,. The one is the form of the hat or cap of tho infantry, and the other is the hind of regimental colors and their device. Tho writer says: ■ “It is remarkable that we have so little now of reliable facts in the premises. If we look in to Graydon’s Memoirs, himself a captain in the Revolution, we find nothing to enlighten ns in the premises. The nearest approach to what we wish to learn is in “ Watson’s Annals of Philadelphia.” He there says, in his chapter on “Militia and the Colonial Defence,” speaking of the Philadelphia companies after tho Peace, (as if following some of the uniform of the preced ing war) that Capt. .Sproat’s company of infan try —the “Buck-tail company”—wore a Bhort blue cloth coatee, lapelled with red, white vest and breeches, white stockings, blaok knee-bands, Short gaiters, the head covered with a felt hat or cap, the front turned up in an oval shape about the low crown, and ornamented with -a buck-tail pompon. The artillery at the same time, under Capt. Fisher, wore a long skirted blue coat, turned np with red ; yellow vest and broeehes, black leggings, and wearing the large “artillery cocked liat,” square to the front with a long black feather. In another plnco the same author describes the American Flag, as borne by the Alfred frigate, when she sailed, having on board Paul Jones, as Ueutenont, having thir teen stripes of red and blue, and a rattlesnake in a running attitude, with the words “Don’t Tread on Me.” i Some of us can remember “ old soldiers,” ns they called themselves, coming abroad to ask charity, who wore felt lints, covered over the crown with boar skin, and one side looped up with a buck’s tail. The Americans, too, were provcrbially.called Buck-tails. Now is the time to gather up what can be known. Will any con sider?” ' ■ Me.

We may take this opportunity of saying that the failure of the Gazette to notice the organiza tion of the I*. & S. Railroad Company arose, not from a feeling of hostility, as the Post charac teristically charges, nor through an oversight, but hecauso the notice passed at once into the advertising department, and did not come uhder the oyc of the acting editor until after the pa per was issued. —Pittsburgh Gazette. Hi jf” It is an old remark that “a poor excuse is better than no excuse.” The open hostility of the editor of the Gazette, and his keepers to the Pittsburgh and Steubenville Kailroad is well known in this community. If the Deacon fall i ed to notice the organization of our Pittsburgh i Railroad, “ through an Oversight,” wo will i overlook tho matter, if he promises to give it a fair, honest and candid notice between this and the time for electing Directors. The above par grapli, extorted from him reluctantly, really amounts to nothing. We wish to have from tho Gazette a distinct acknowledgment and recogni tion of tho importance and necessity of con structing a direct W cstem Kailroad from Pitts burgh to Steubenville, Columbus and Cincinnati. Nothing short of this will satisfy the people of Pittsburgh especially the business men, who are now investing money in a Road which will secure them trade and travel they otherwise will inevi tably lose. If the -Editor of the Gazelle would mingle with the business men of Pittsburgh, ho would soon learn that his course in opposing the Rail road to Steubenville is universally condemned. But the truth is, Mr. White is a total stranger to nine-tenths of the business men of Pittsburgh; and very few of them even know him by eye sight. Ilis interests, feelings, iustincts, habita tion, property, all—all, are centered in Alle gheny. His treasure is thore, and there is his heart also. The Democracy of Westmoreland* A Norrißtown paper having stated that the Democracy of Westmoreland county rcoently re pudiated the instruction in favor of Mr. Bocman an,. the Editor of tho Greensburgh Argus, John M. Laied, EBq., thus puts the story at rest: ; “In May last, tho democraoy of this eountyin mass meeting, passed a strong resolution in fav;or of Mr. Buchanan, for tho Presidency. “That resolution was subsequently reiterated in a convention of Return Judges mthout a sin gle dissenting voice. Since that time there has been no public ex pression in this county. Call you this repudia ting, Mr. Watchman ? But the people of tliis county have not been inattentive to the unjustifi able attempts which are making to stigmatize the reputation of a great and good man and when they next speak, it will be in a voice of deeper thunder. “Tho enemies of James Buchanan, strive in vain to conceal his strength in Pennsylvania.— Two conventions coming direotly from tho bosom of the people, have already deoided that ques tion by overwhelming majorities.” Wheat Ceop in Wisconsin; —The wheat crop in this great wheat growing State is by no mcanß flattering. The Milwaukee Advertiser learns that inmany parts of that State, the rust and in sects have literally destroyed the wheat crop.— And the most fearful apprehensions that this disaster had becomo more general throughout the main agricultural districts were everyday roalized by tho news from the interior of tihe State. Senator Berrien, who opposes Mr. Cobb and the other Union candidates in Georgia, is now called a f ‘locofoco” by Borne of the northern whig prints.

We received by yesterday’s mail tho Indian apolis papers of Wednesday, from which wo learn the gratifying nows that the Democracy of Indiana have !aehicved a brilliant .and glorious victory! Whiggery has been- perfectly used up in the gallant Hoosier State! For Congress, the following is the result, so far as ascertained: :AUGUST 11, 1851 Second District.— Cyrus L. Dunham, dom., elected over Roger Martin, fed., by an incrcasod. majority; Third District. —John L. Robinson, dem., re elected over Johnson Watts, fed. Fourth District. —S. W. Parker, fed., elected over G. W. Julian, free soil abolitionist. We are rejoiced that this vilo disorganizer and traitor has been defeated. Fifth District. —Thomas A. Hendricks, dom., elected over Wm. P. Rush, fed. Seventh Diet net. —J. G. Davis,'dem., elected in this , Gibraltar of whiggery, over E. W. Mc- Gaugboy, a Mexican federalist. The above returns are official. There are ten Congressional districts in the State, and in a day or two we shall doubtless have a little moro Democratic thunder! We are without any telegraphic despatches from Kentucky during the last two days, owing to the wires notrbeing in working order. Yesterday we received the Louisville Democratat Tuesday morning, in ■ which wo find tho following para graphs, showing tho election of Powell, tho Dom ocratic candidate for Governor: The returns received so far indicate the elcotion of Powell by a considerable majority. Dixon will see that his first impressions, that he could not he elooted, were correct. He might have had a better chance had it not been for his odious dootrinos of submission, that he preach ed with so much zeal and' industry. JSgy Powell gains so largely m all sections of the State that there can be soarcoly a doubt of his election. If he gams at the same rate in the counties to bo heard from, lie will have a ma jority of five or six thousand. Making nil rea sonable allowance, lie can hardly be beaten. After preparing the foregoing, wo opened tho Louisville Courier of Thursday which admits the election of Powell, So we have : a Democrats Governor at last in old Kentucky! Huzza! Huzza!! Huzza!!! Lhe result Erom the returns before us, we nro enabled to pretty nearly guess at tho following results : Powell is elected. Thompson is elected Lioutenont Governor. Lynn Boyd, (D.) iB elected to Congress from the First district; Ben. Edwards Groy, (lud. W.) in the Second district, by a large majority ; Presloy Ewing (W.) in the Third (list, by 690 maj ; Wm. T.

Breckinridge, (I>.) in the i Eigth district, by 530 mnj ; J. C. Mason, (p.) m i the Ninth district: R. 11. Stanton, (D.) in the I Tenth district. Tho Whigs will have laTge majorities in both branches of the next Legislature. Page is elected Auditor of . Public Accounts, without opposition; W intersmith, Treasurer, by a large majority; Harlan, Attorney General; McCurdy, Register of the Land Office; Rev. R. J.

Wo spent half an hour very .pleasantly the J other day in passing through', the extensive Ware- I house of Messrs. Penned:, Mitchell *v Co., on] Liberty Street. 1 The old Union Foundry, under the management of these gentlemen, is now | turning out some very beautiful specimens of | castings, which wc think are an honor to tiie genius of our Pittsburgh mechanics. W*e were particularly struck with a new palor and office stove, the patent for which has been purchased jointly by Messrs. Nicholson k Payne nnd Pen nock, Mitchell & Co. Besides being an-ornamcn tal piece of work, it combines many advantages i heretofore not possessed by any other stovo. It i is so constructed as to burn either coal or wood, a very small amount of either of which articles will beat a largo room. Tiic draft is so regulat ed that all the annoyance of “ smoking clnm ] neys” is overcome by tbeso stoves, which of it ] self is certainly a great recommendation. By | means of a sliding front, tho tiro can bo exposed ] to full view or entirely shut m from sight, and | this without any doorssivinging on hinges. There | are’many other conveniences about this stove | to recommend it to all who desire comfort about their dwellings during the cold w inter months, | which we deem it unnecessary to enumerate. I The price, too, is astonishingly low. v-yj-3 J . INDIANA, ALL HAIL I CROW! KENTUCKY ELECTIONS Wo copy below the Courier's summing up of A Brief Survey. Union Foundry Warchontf* ggy Tho Boston Journal thus discourses upon Pennsylvania politics, and foretells the defeat of Wm F Johnston. The Journal is an influen tial Whig paper: | “Our own opinion is, that the amendment of fered by Sir. Scott expresses the determination of nine-tenths of the Whigs of Pennsylvania, but that the true reason for rejecting was the samo timid and Bomowhat crooked policy which has come near breaking down tho IV lug party in our State, which did indcod throw it into the hands of the coalition last year—a fear of offending a few Free Soilish Whigs, and a hope of cathing a few Abolitionists—a poor weak and weakening policy. Those who oppose tho “faithful execution of tho fugitive slave law do so with their oyes open to the consequences. If their opposition is sus ceseful; if by their action, the law is repealed, or rendered nugatory, m spite of southern wishes and southern opposition, then comes dissolution of tho Union as surely as night follows day.” Yet Johnston says that tho Fugitive Slave Law must be amended—“that the law requires no allegiance,” there is no danger of a dissolu tion of the Union.

By the bye, I de sired the driver to put us down at the “ National Hotel"— but he positively refused. So, with bag and baggage nolens volens, wo staid at the Swans. It was indeed well wo did not proceed further—for such a night I never experienced; successive - streams of lightning flashed across, and illuminated the whole heavens, whilst the heavy crash of oft-repeated thunder, and a tre mendous wind made tho scene terrible and sub- Great dangers, and indeed loss of life, have been occasioned by this remarkable storm. . I havo seen its ravages in these mountains, where its resistless force has struck down whole forests! From IJmontown your route soon leads you to the “Laurel-Hill” —why it should be called a “bill” is somewhat remarkable. It is three miles by the road to its summit, which is I be lieve some 2000 feet above tfniont-own-—how far above the level of the oceau I. aiu unable to say. Nine miles brings you to the Springs. They are half a mile from the National Toad, iu alittle,val ley or “hollow,” with the primeval forests around, nud towards the South a tolerably exten sive and quite beautiful view of mountain sce nery. The water of the springs, I learn, have been analysed, but l have been unable to ascer tain tbeir properties. They are, however, strongly impregnated with iron, and very cold.

He wn-s brought two days march from that fatal field, and the remains of the army under Washington's com : mand encamped near a run, where Braddock died. In order to conceal the plnce of Ins burial the body Was interred in the middle of the road, i and the army marched over his grave. i About a mile from the grave, near the Nation- j |al road, once stood “Fort Necessity.” Wash-] ington wnd enrainped near this place, and after j tho aflair with Jumervillc, of winch I shall speak ; hereafter,) lie learned that a largo body of i French and Indians were advancing upon him. Having about GOO men under his command, he determined to make a stand; he rapidly built a stockade, in the form of a half star, which he named “ FortNcccssity.” The tort was tutua*. ted in the “Great Meadow, ’ with a srrndi run embraced within its fortifications. The evening of the ild of July, 1754, found tins immortal man with his brave men within the walls of the Fort thus hardly erected, when it was invested by 000 French and Indians, llut he success fully defended his position, and the next day, July 4th, having no hopes of success,: and-his ammunition being nearly exhausted, be mado%>n orable terms ofcapitulalion with the French oilicer m command, Dc Mllters y and marched forth with his Hags, anus, and all his baggage.

Very truly your fnend, The Democracy of Pennsylvania' to the . Democracy of California, Greeting X The last Harrisburg Democratic Union contains the addresses of the Democratic State Central Committee. We have only room for the short est one this morning: Wk Accept the Challenge. —The Deniocra- i cy of California haying nominated Col. John Big- | ler os their candidate for Governor, have ap pointed a committee to offer a challenge to the Democraoy of Pennsylvania, as follows: “Tho Democracy of California propose to 11 present the Democracy of with i “ a splendid Banner, embroidered with Cnliforn i “ ia gold, the whole to be worth not less than l 44 $l,OOO, provided California throws a less ma jority for Col.

Sad Doings In California The Daily Pacific Star, San Francisco, of June. 30th, brings us the following tragical Terrible Affray at Sonora ! —The Debtor of the Ilerahl Shot. —Wo learned last night some in definite particulars of a painful affray at Sonora, on Friday evening last, in consequence of an artiole which appeared in the Herald, in regard to the gamblers. A party of them attacked the office, and in the affray Dr. Gun, the Editor, a Mr. Christian, one of the proprietors, and a Mr. Coufforth were killed; and four others era wounded. Several arrests of those engaged in the attack, have been made. The above particulars wo gather in the street, and may not be entirely reliable. We hope, at least that tho rumors are greatly exagerated. I A Nice Little Fion-j.—The Whigs of Somer -1 set, Bedford and Fulton are in' a bad fix. Ilam lilton B. Burnes, Esq.; of Somerset, has been I nominated for the State Senate by the Whigs I of that district, and Baml. W. Pearson, Esq., has I been announced as the Independent' Whig can- I didato. Franciß Kimmell, Esq., has been nomi | nated for President Judge of the above counties | and Franklin; and-Wm. - Lyon, Esq., -ot Bedford, j has also received a sort of nominations. They are both Whigs. M. Kimmell is the best quali fied for the Btation, and if a Whig is to bo elec ted we hope he will succeed. Mr. Lyon is one of | your fourth rate lawyers and seems to be little thought of even in his own county. Wo intend to look on, and will from time to time notice the drubbing that the Bedford Inquirer receives from the Somerset Herald and Whig. Stick«. it I to him Ogle.— HoUidaysbxtrg Standard.
