Tho concert given by Brooks'" school, on Tuesday evening, we are happy to state, was well attended, and as far as we have been able to ascertain, gave general satisfaction. Music has been cultivated by hefcw in Sirou&sburg, while the majority have been only listeners and admirers. This state of things should not ex ist, and we are fully aware that had as many more availed themselves of the last quarter's schooling, we should have had just so many more good singers. The Choir was in excel lent voice, and rarely, if ever, has been wit nessed in Strondsburg, so brilliant a display of beauty and talent, as on this occasion. The ladies (God bless them) acquitted themselves with great credit, and exhibited courage which would have done honor to Gen. Taylor. They were alone on their parts, excepting the assis tance of two soprano singers from Mi. Bethel, beautiful girls, and splendid singers.) The Bass was wanting in strength, but they sang in fine tune, and produced a fine effect in the solo passages of " Hoty is the Lord." Their pro nunciation was perfect. Good pronunciation in singing, is a matter of importance with us. We cannot do without a distinct enunciation of the words in vocal music. The Moteit was not all that we were led to expect, from the manner the other pieces were performed. The Alto had become weary, and sang without that pon taneity which is the life of song. " The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof." was per formed with skill, and showed taste as well as alent. The style of the words was strictly adhered to; at times the voices would die awy to a low, plaintive murmur, and anon break forth in a deafening chorus. The answer lo the question asked by the Bass and Tenor, " Who is this King of Glory ?" was sublime, and not a single listener could avoid responding with the Choir, " The Lord of Hosts." On the whole, this was a grand display of musical talent ; such an one as never was known in Stroudsburg before ; such an one as does credit to north-eastern Pennsylvania. As for Brooks," we have only to say, that to praise his school is to praise him as a teacher. He is too well known in this State to need " puffing." As a teacher of music, he is past criticism. May he live long, and teach thousands to aing of the praise of the Redeemer, and at last learn to join the chorus himself. We have al ways believed that sacred music was a refiner of the hearts and feelings of men, and that to be a.inger was but to be good, and we must adhere to this opinion still, (single circumstan ces to the contrary ) Musical men if a; have the outward appearance of uncommon depravi ty ; Mill we cannot believe that thir heais are entirely shut to the prompiings of a better na ture. There is too much of heaven in music . admit of it ; and all who are !o happy as to each those blissful courts on high, will be eted on their entrance with a gush of glo rious heavenly music. The Odd Fellows. Wednesday of last week was appointed as a gala day with the Odd Fellows, it being the an niversary of Fori Penn Lodge, No. 134. Long before the appointed hour had arrived, the streets of Stroudsburg presented an uncommon lively appearance, citizens and strangers li ning the aide-walks, all evidently worked up to the highest pitch of expectation. At 2 o'clock, the procession formed in front of the Court Hotise, and marched through the principal streets of the Borough, to the stirring music of the Mi. Bethel Brass Band. The members of the Order were dressed in full regalia, and pre sented at once a novel and imposing appear ance. The day was flue, and nothing trans pired to mar the splendor of the scene. The procession repaired to the Methodist Church, and likened to one of the most enlightened, and interesting, discourses on Odd-Fellowship, by R. E. Wright, E-sq., of ANentown. Taken as a whole, the address was a masterly effort, and reflects credit alike upon the speaker and the Order. We trust that all will avail themselves of tfie opportunity of reading it. It is admira bly calculated to do away with superstition, and all who peruse it with care-and attention can not but feel favorably inclined towards the doc trine it inculcates. 'Tis the doctrine of the Bihle 'tis a spark of heaven left to germinate among the memhers of fallen humanity, and al though it is in an embryo .state, it is destined to fill the whole earth, and make glad the hearts of millions vet unborn. Siatc Treasurer. The Hon. John Banks, of Berks county, has been elected Siaic Ticasurer. The vole stood for John Banks, 72 his. R. Snowden, 55 P. Sherlock, 1 The high character of Judge Banks for abil ity and integrity is a guaranty thai his election to this important station, will be received by the people of Pennsylvania with a unanimous approval. io better man ot culler party can be found within the length or breadth of this Commonwealth. Robert M. T. Hunter was chosen U. S. Senator for six years from the 4th of March next, by the Legislature of Virginia, on the 15ih inst. He succeeds Mr. Archer, the present able Whis member. The result, as we learn from the Richmond Whig, was effected by the co-operation of most of ihe Whigs with a few of the Loco-Foco members. Mr. Hunter was chosen on the sixth ballot. Board of Canal Commissioners. James M. Power, Esq., was duly sworn in, on the 12th inst., as Canal Commissioner, and the board organized by the election of Joshua Hartshorn as President, and Thomas L. Wilson, formerly Clerk, and an Anti-Shunk ! man, as Secretary to the Board. Whig State Convention. The Harrisburg Telegraph contains a list of Delegates to the Whig State Convention to as semble in Harrisburg in March next, for the purpose of nominating candidates for Governor and Canal Commissioner, from which it appears thai of the delegaics already appointed there are 32 utiinstrucied. " 22 instructed to support Gen. James Irwin. 15 recommended to support the Hon. James Cooper. 10 recommended to support Gen. Irwin. 3 instructed to support P. S. Michler, Esq. 3 instructed to support Waller Forward, Esq. 47 delegates are yet to be appointed. Since our last issue we have nothing from Congress of any importance, except the death blow given to the Lieutenant-General, in the Senate, and the debates upon various subjects in the two houses, not of sufficient interest to occupy our paper. On Saturday, however, when the Oregon Territorial Bill was taken up, Mr. Hamlin, of Maine, addresed the House in defence of the constitutional right of Congress to prohibit slarery in new territories. The sentiment of the North, he said, was opposed to any further extension of the area of slavery. No solitary interest of any State would be af fedted by a prohibition of its introduction into new territories. This was no Missouri com promise, no annexation of Texas question, and the free States would never consent to the in troduction of slavery into free territory, ac quired or to be acquired. Mr. Bowdon of Alabama, spoke in opposi tion to these views, and iMr. Thompson of Pennsylvania in their favor, after which ihe previous question was callep, the yeas and nays taken, and the btll passed 133 to 35. The bill as it passed we believe prohibits for ever the introduction of Slavery into the terri tory, and the Sou'hern members resist this as a precedent for other territory. Buck's County Intelligencer. Pass round their ftiunes. Mr. FICKL1N, of III., and Mr. THOMP SON, of Mi ssissippi, a pair of servile Locofo cos, made a disgraceful assault in the House, on the 8ih insi., upon Gen. Taylor's conduct, in not preventing the Mexican forces from cross ing the Rio Grande after their defeat in the bat tie of Resaca de la Palma. The Administra tion had been charged with neglect in not fur nishing him with pontons, to cross the river ; why, they asked, did he not cut off the Mexi cans before they reached the river? Mr. Jos. R. Ingeusoll replied with patriotic indigna tion, that Gen. Taylors forces had been 30 hours without food, and numbering only 2,000 lo the 7000 Mexicans! And yet Gen. Taylor is to be denounced by menials of the White House, for not accomplishing impossibilities. Pass round their names! Let them be remembered. The Lehigh Reporter, in noticing the dis graceful attempt of the Locofoco press to create the impression lhat their own partizans chiefly compose the volunteer companies fighting the battles of their country in Mexico, states that of the ninety-four men composing Captain Na gle's company, only seven are LocoTocos. Senator Pennybacker, of Virginia, died at Washington, on Tuesday morning of last week. His death was announced in both houses, and they immediately adjournod. On Wednesday they attended his funeral. Mr. Newton, Whig, is said to be elected to Congress to fill the vacancy in tho Arkansas delegation, caused by the resignation of Col. Yell, Loco. We learn that the two-horse stage between Easton and Philadelphia, known as the "Light ning line," has been drawn off for the present. The New Orleans papers mention the death of Patrick O'Donnell, a Pennsylvania volun teer, from Carbondale, Luzerne county. It is recommended in New York, to lax ev ery pauper arriving in that city, one dollar, which would bring an annual income of one hundred thousand dollars. Mr Semple, the Senator from Illinois, is, it is to be appointed Governor of Oteon. The " Devil." The word devil, said a cer tain parson, is mean, any way you can take it. Remove the d, and it is evil ; remove the r, and it is vile ; remove the v, and it is il, and. the 1 alone has the sound of hell. Beware, then of the devil he is a mean rascal.

ISas'i'is&iirjr aily IaaSe5aigefisccB- On the commencement of the ensuing session of the Legislature, the Pennsylvania "Intelligencer will be published Daily during the session, and Weekly the remainder of the year on the follow ing terms : For the session Daily, $2 00 For the vear Daily and Weekly, 3 00 ID3 Payments in all cases to be made in advance. The Daily will be published on a medium sheet, the size of the dailies heretofore issued at the seat of Government- We have made arrangements for the employment of competent and experienced re porters, and will give lull, accurate and impartial reports of the proceedings of the Legislature. Ample sketches of the doings of Congress, ac counts of tho progress of the war, the news of the day, and a general variety of political and miscel laneous matter, will also be 'given. We will so arrange as to issue every evening, a few hours after the adjournment, so that the pro ceedings of each day will be contained in the pa per of the same evening, and will be delivered through the first mails that leave after the adjourn ment Ml fhe Weekly will retain its present size and form., and will contain as great an amount and va riety of reading matter as any other paper publish ed at Harrisburg. Apart from the consideration of any political measures that may be brought before the Legisla ture the ensuing session, tUe fact that there is a Whig majority in both branches, comprising some of the ablest men of the party, will tend to render the session one of peculiar public interest, not on ly to Whigs, but to inen of all parties who have the good of the State at heart. An early, full and faithful report of the proceedings, cannot fail there fore, to be desir?i"ble to the mass of readers. The proceedings of Congress will also be of absorbing interest during the present session, of which we will give a daily report, as full as our limits will possibly permit. Of the political course of our paper we deem it unnecessary to speak. We refer to our past ca reer ns a pledge of our fidelity to the Whig cause, which we shall continue to advocate with our best y bility. Prominent amongst the great principles of the Whig party, is the cherished Pennsylvania doctrine of protection to American labor, which shall ever find in the Intelligencer, so long as we have the honor to control its columns, a sincere and ardent advocate. We appeal therefore, espe cially, to Whigs and Tariff men to aid us in our enterprize, confident that if a generous support is extended to us, we shall be able to publish such a paper as will be of service to the cause, and will give universal satisfaction. Clubs Three copies, Daily, for 5 00; seven, do. do. $10 00. Any person obtaining four sub scribers will be entitled to a fifth copy gratis.
