LOVERS OF GOOD MUSIC will have an opportunity on the 29th inst.. of listening to a first class concert given at the Court House. An entertainment so rare in this place should be appreciated. 'Hhc performers are nil first class musi cians. ifnd some have had many years of experience. Mr. Jerome Stalcy. ll*' leader, is a young man of extraordinary musical talent and ability. He performs \ on several musical instruments with equal j skill and expression—has adopted music , as his-profession—and, as this is his debut, j we hope it may be a success. Vrllmr'M Home Hanaiine. Arthur's Home Magazine, for Janua rv. has been deceived. As usual, it abounds * with rare and ele attractions. The j fashion plates and engravings, as well as . its literary articles, arc of a character that j would honor any Magazine in the country. We bespeak for it a wide circulation. It ; should be read by every lady in thecoun- j try. See advertisement in another col umn. BUTLER TOWN is pleasantly situated : on the North bank of Connoquenessing j creek, in a bend thereof, on an eminence j that commands an extensive and pictur- j esque view of the surrounding conn | and is thirty-three m : VS via the Plank- 1 road North of Pittsburgh. The town con tains the usual county buildings ; a good j and substantial brick and stone Court- : House, erected in 1853 ; the Jail is built j of stone, and. as far as the name is eon- j corned, does very well; but past occur- : renees show that it is not very well calcu- j lated to hold any one who has a strong in- ! elination to escape from " durance vile." i The town was laid out in A. I>. 1800. and j was incorporated as a borough Feb. 26. j 1817. Population, in 1830, 580; in 1840, 861. and in 1860 it contained over ' 1.300. Within the limits of the town j there arc seven churches, one Academy, | the Witherspoon Institute, and two school- j houses. The latter cannot be spoken very highly of. Their architecture and furni- | turc are not such as they should lie. In our humble opinion there is nothing that can be called attractive either in the arch itecture or furniture of these buildings; and it is very self-evident to the most su perficial observer that there is nothing about the exterior, or grounds connected with these buildings, of an attractive na ture or character; but we will not dwell on this matter at present. The town is well supplied with hotels; of these there are six. There arc at pres ent ten eating-houses, or restaurants, with a very fair prospect of at least one more. We have eight dry-goods and grocery stores, three jewelry establishments, two drug-stores, one book and variety store, nine shoe-shops doing a flourishing busi ness in protecting the toles of the people ; six blacksmith shops—those engaged in | this trade should remember to " strike | while the iron is hot;" —three wagon and carriage shops, two plow shops, five cabi net shops, three saddle and harness shops, three printing offices, one clothing store, four tailor shops and two tanneries. Just j outside the borough limits there are two I machine shops, a woollen fictory and two J large ste.im grist-mills. The town does not improve very rapid ly ; in explanation of which many reasons might be assigned, but we will not enu merate at present, as we may have occasion | t j refer to these matters more at length on some future occasion. During the past season, the Presbyterian congregation of this place have completed a very fine buil ding on the site formerly occupied by the old church. This new place of worship j is very elegantly and tastefully furnished. The new brick dwelling house of ('has. M'Candloss, Esq., situated on the S. W. corner of the Diamond, when fully com pleted, will be a decided improvement in the architecture of the place, and will re flect credit on the owner and the archi tects—Messrs. S. G. Purvis & Son. In this connection we would also mention the new, large and fine brick building, on Main street, erected by William Vogcley, «nd now occupied by him as a hotel. It is a very fine building, and one that does credit to the owner. During the past fall, a very extensive and substantial improvement was made in the condition of Main Street. It was very much needed; and, while it is commend able and praiseworthy to keep the main street in good condition, would it not be well to bestow a little more labor on the back and cross streets, and also the alleys ? Of course wo do not wish to be under stood as dictating to the worthy authori ties who have the supervision and control of these matters, but merely as suggesting the propriety of distributing the work and repairs equitably in the different parts of! our borough. The mall, or board wjilk. I Igading to the Cemetery. on tlic North of the borough, which was made during the last season, was very much needed, and is highly appreciated, especially by those who, from locality and business, frequent the same. Of (he professions, there arc eight min isters, four doctors, two dentists, 1 profes sor, four teachers, three justices of the peace, and only seventeen lawyers. We have an industrious population ; with but few, if any. who can be called loafer* or j idlert. All are engaged in some useful ; calling or occupation; each is, in his par ticular sphere, endeavoring to make an honest living. Evening I»arly. Do NOT FAIL to attend the evening par ty at the LOWKY HOUSE on New Years live. Thcobjectis one which commends itself to every patriot, and we hope that j there will be a general attendance; who j will not give for the purpose of relieving j the wants of the soldier's family? Cer tainly there are none but what will be ca ' ger to contribute towards so laudable an | object, as the relief of the wives and chil j dren of our brave soldiers who have per iled their lives in defence t>f oinJ|r itcrn- I ment. It is unnecessary for us to gay any- j j thing with regard to the manner in which | ! the proprietor will serve up the supper; j everybody knows that.he understands his j 'nailing. And will do everything for the J eonifU-t and pleasure of bis guests. BROKE JAIL.—On Wednesday evening ; of last week, Dr. P. Dockaleer, better j ! known as the French Doctor, cbntrived,! during the absence of the Jailor—Capt. j Brackenridgc—to effect his e-eape from | u durance vile." By watching his oppor- ! j tunity he managed to pass out at the door j I while one of the females of the Jailor's household was replenishing his cell or | room with fuel. Notice was immediately L-iven to Sheriff Scott, who, in company with his son, Columbus, gave chase; and as it was snowing at the time, they wore enabled to geton the track of the fugitive, who had taken the road leading from But ler to Harmony. After a smart chase of an hour or two through the woods and fields—to which he had taken—they suc ceeded in rc-capturing and bringing him back to his old quarters, where lie is now confined to serve out the remainder of bis apprenticeship and sentence given him 011 the.first Monday of the last Court. Truly, "The way of the transgressor is hard." TREES AND SHRUBBERY.— I The atten tion of growers of fruit, ornamental trees I and shrubbery is directed to the advertise ment of It. C. Sharp, which may be found in another column of this paper. Every farmer should endeavor to have a good orchard on his plantation. Choice fruits always cotpmand the highest prices.— '•A gooil tree, will produce good fruit," and Mr. Sharp is prepared to furnish the choicest fruit trees of all varieties and on as liberal terms as the heart of man could desire. Do not fail to read the advertise ment and supply with a choice lot of fruit trees and shrubbery, and in after years, when '■(' hill November'* wnrly blast, Mak.-s field and forest bare" you will then have reason to be thankful that in the course of human events you were so fortunate as to improve the rare opportunities offered to you now.

Mr, llazlett has four sons in the army of the Union, and was himself, a member of Capt. Jas G. Campbell's Militia company, that went from our county at the time that Leo and his rebel horde made their first laid into '■My Maryland." CAMP, 6TII U. S. CAVALRY, 1 VIRGINIA, Dec. 11, 1863. } DEAR FATHER : I received your letter safe at hand, and was very glad to hear from you, ami to hear that you were well. lam well at present. We have just re turned from over the Rapidan river ; we had some very smart skirmishing for three days, when Lee, tho Confederate com mander. found an almost impregnable po sition, on high ground, suited for all his artillery, and a deep run or stream, called Mine River, between us and him. where lie fortified himself, where he appeared sure of a victory. But Gen. Meade, our commander, was not to be fooled, he just fell back to his old position : lie merely n-cnt over to let old Lec see, that if he sent reinforcements to Bragg, in the South West, he might expect to get well whip ped by the operation." We have very cold weather, and our Infantry suffered con siderably from the cold and rain, while ly ing (jx> the cold, wet ground without fires, in the battle line; but now we are all pret ty snugly fixed, in the woods, with good camp fires, although we have got no or ders to prepare winter quarters. The ar my is now taking things very easy, enjoy ing themselves on soft bread aud beef steak. I think we will do no more this winter, without the rebels actually come to visit us in our camp. I think in the spring, with the three hundred thousand men of reinforcements, we will be, able to get hold'of the rebel capitol. The rebels ; arc loosing heart, and begin to weep a lit { tie. They are beginning to see the folly lof their ways. They have now lost the | whole of Tennessee, where their main supplies for their arm}' came from, and as time flies on, their cause looks more hope less and cloudy; while our Army and Na vy gets stronger and braver. The leaders of the rebellion have ruined their coun try. and they know it, for the desolation it has caused is awful. But the)' still stick to it; they must Ight till tho last man; but they had better cover their heads with sack-cloth and ashes, and repent of their folly, and confess their error, and not mur der and destroy the balance of their un fortunate population. The charges against the leaders of this rebellion, and the pun ishment which will be meted out to them, wll be hard indeed. But [ hopo and trust that peace and prosperity will soon be in every homestead both North and South. Give my best respects to all enquiring friends and acquaintances. From your affectionate son. WM. HAZLETT. DON'T SWEAR.—Profanity is one of the most offensive and disgusting habits to which unredeemed humanity is given. To say nothing ofitssinfu ness, (which every one of course un derstands) profane swearing is a vile vulgar, low-bred habit, from the indul gence of which a proper self respect should restrain a man, even if he has no regardfor the dictates of religion. It is a habit too which increases with •fearful rapidity when once given way to; and we have known instances where men who were once highly res pectable, but who unfortunately con tracted this habit, have sunk so low as to use profane language in their own families, and even to 6wear at thoir wives and children. WHY is a deputy sheriff like the first Roman Emperor ! Because he's a "seizor." Our Mercies of Kf-OcciipitMon. L ! A few years since a maguifieeut speei | men of Young North America—physically ! and morally—appeared in Philadelphia, from Boston. He became the Rector of the Church of the Holy Trinity in the city ' of Philadelphia—and very shortly filled i this new church organization to its utmost i capacity. Among his pewholders was | George W. Woodward, who, in December 1860, expounded not only constitutional law, but indulged quite largely in that species of Theology known as the Bible argument iu behalf of slavery. The Rev, Phillip Brooks has the slightest possible reverence for the Bible Argument in be half of slavery, and so frequently expres sed himself on this subject that the said George W. Woodward, in disgust, order ed his pew to be sold and left .Mr. B's church. The preacher has not in the least lowered his tone since his church suffered the calamity of the Judge's with drawal. A friend has just sent a Thanksgiving ■Sermon preached by the said Reverend Brooks, under the title at the head of this article. His text is the 14th and l<)th verses of the l(sth chapter of Jere miah. \\ e append a few sentences as specimen bricks—on of the ruin that was to come upon us here at homo, in the derangement of labor, iu j the scarceness of supplies, iu the stop page of business, in the insccur™ of property. The war is almost three years old, and industry was never richer, homes were never happier, trade never paid so well, harvests never crowded the bursting barns more fully than iu the abundant prosperity of this battle-autumn. What shall we do ? Is it the part of earnest men just to come up to our churches and thank God for the corn-field and the busy stores, and say nothing about the war, un der whose red glare the. sickle does its peaceful battle with the grain, and the qui'ck dollars pile themselves upon your desk. I think not. I think no grati tude is loyal or reasonable that does not carry the earnestness and solemnity of all our present life into every thank -giv ing that it has to pay. On page 11, he says: Tt seems to mo every dollar made in these war times ought to he sacred. I should think every man who is staying at home and making a fortune now, would want to take at least one poor man who has been to the war and been disabled; and, counting him his substitute;*provide for him and his for life. A man who is coin ing money out of his country's agony, and keeping it to spetul upon himself, must feel so like a very Gehazi. "Is it a time to receive money and to receive garments, and olivcyards, and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen When those whose duty to be there is no more than ours, are putting every comfort by and standing between us and traitors, camping in the wretched ness of the cold open corn field, fighting the front, ranks of our thinned armies, suf fering in the solitude of far-ofl' hospitals, starving in that loathsome prison which is going to make Southern ci\iiization the everlasting by-word of the nineteenth cen tury —what right fcivo wo to occupy the prosperity, under whose groaning portals wo enter in with thanks to-day, save as the guardian holds his solemn trust, sacred from common use, ready to answer to the last demand of those for whom he holds it, to whom it all belongs. On pages 23,21 and 25, he thus sketch es his views of Bishop Hopkin's argu ment on slavery. The fifty-five Demo cratic members of Congress who voted for the Bishop for Chaplain must have esti mated it more highly than didJMr. B. : 1 should do great injustice to ourselves and to the day, if it did not commemorate another great re-occupation of this past year, whereby not only the people but the church has entered in and repossessed the old land that the Lord gave to her fathers. Christianity, I believe, will never cease to sorrow that the Church of Christ was led and not leading in the crusade against hu man slavery in the United States. The future historian of the Church will look back and wonder at the sight he sees.— j Year after year the Church stood back, while they who fought the battle went out from her, and the whole movement against slavery became not only unehurchly but openly infidel, disowning all interest in every presentation of that Christianity of whose spirit and operation it was never theless itself the legitimate result. The child Philanthropy not merely deserted its mother Religion, but disowned her. But like many another lost child in the world's moral history, its inherited birth-m.tr ks, the brow and eyes it took from her, would keep speaking out its parentage in its own despite. If in thisyearthe recreant moth er has at all. come out and claimed her child; if in this year the Christian Church has taken among us an irrevocable position of his hostility to human slavery in every shape, let us thank the 1 rejoice in every symptom tending that way I rejoice in this last struggle whereby it is fighting its way into its dishonored grave, of that old miserable creature, the most foolish of all follies, if it had not been the most im pious of all impieties, which has been dignified so many years with the name of "The Bible Argument for Slavery." I cannot tell you the half of my joy—some of you will understand it by your own— when in this most conservative of all con servatisms, the Episcopal Church, the ro : assert ion of a Bishop of this tame old so called Bible Argument for Slavery, stirred the ministry of this diocese to an utterance ; which no man can mistake, of utter enmi ty to slavery and whatever has anything to do with it. It is of very little importance in the world ; it is of very little importance in the land; but it is of very great import ance in the Episcopal Church, that, for the first time in her history, she has get herself flatly, fairly, unmistakbly against the sin of the nation. As name after name added to that protest; as the assent came in so unanimously from every direction— from the mission chapels in the hills, from the cathedral-churches in the city, from the seats of our schools and our seminary, and above all, thank God, from the honor i ed dignity of the Bishop's chair, made | dear love for him, who we pray may long sit in it to do true things like this —it ; i seemed to me as if every new assent wiped I from the vesture of the church wo love some stain of her long compliance, and gave ! promise of the day when «he shall stand . up in her perfcctand unsullied excellence. ! j. ; and. wrenfthig her venerable beautv with | Y , HU ever-fresh and verdant love for all God's i truth, be such a church as (here is not iu I': the land.— Pittfbviqh Commercial. r 1 HPECIAL JTOTICES.
