CONCERTS . —On Tuesday evening of
last week the Juvenile pupils of Mr. It. A.
McClure's Singing Class gave a concert in

fornied their several parts in a manner high
ly creditable to ihemSelves and their teach
.. Oa Tuesda evenin last a sewed con-
cert—the Cantata of Esther—was perform
ea and resented on Thursday evening. On
the last mentioned occasion those of his pu
pils more advanced in music participated,

ARRIVED.—We are specially gratified
to learn — th it t-our—youttg—friend T -11l
C001!Elt, Fife Major or, the 77th Reg.
P. V., arrived in this place yesterday morn
ing. He was. taken a prisoner at the battle
Chickamauga, and up to quite recently was
in Richmond prison. His sufferings at the

RE\'EN E FUL—Several copperheads
in this place seek to annoy our carrier by,
telling him that they wouldn't take the REC
ORD to light cigars, that he carries a "smut
machine," `•abolition documents," &c. flan•
ly, couragious mode of seeking revenge, al
together a compliment to our paper. Were
such tattle to speak of us or the paper in
other terms we would be almost induced to
take the oath. that some of our 'fiends across
the line couldn't subscribe. to at the late e
lection, fearful that our loyalty might be
questioned.
A SURPRIS.II—We learn from the last
Pilot that whilst the Rev. J. W. Witrrn-
MAN, Pastor of the Presbyterian congrega
aou of Gicencastle, tvig — away on wed

members, principally the's° in the town, a

its acceptance fin' the congiegation as an
acknowledgement of their attachment to him.
The Pastor makes an appropriate acknowl

REMEMBER FORT PILLOW !—After
the British had brutally massacred the little
garrison at Fort ~'riswold. (Conn.) during.thc

termined 'to avenge that outrage. When they
stormed Strong Poia€, their cry was : "Re

for the murderous'acts of their brethern.—
In the Union Army the cry now is : "Re
