Bat not only did he interest himself in bringing about a reform in the character and style of the muaic tuel iu churches, but he labored persevering! and ffiib great Encceas tu improve tbe geaeral musical taste of the public, and to set up a higher and more correct standard of instruction In the scknee.

With the aid of personal friends, several cf whom were like himself, professional artiste, he succeeded in getting up the firt musical association ever funned in Louisville the 4 St. Ctclliu Society." This ossociatl-m was for a numier of years the only means furnished to the ciiizeus of listening to music that was really good. This society was fuUowed by others, from time to time, of a more private character, the main object of which was to give to ibe mcmoera themseivts opportunities of improvement, and to affoid them sources of pleas-au ieercation. Mr. Peters was one of mo3t successful, 65 he was oca of the most excellent choir teachers, that the country has known.

His own voice was a tenor ot moderate compass, but he knew how to make It tlfuctive, whether in solos or chorast3. It was perfectly pure, and he never sang out of tune. His intonation and accentuation wee wonderfully precise. Hlsutteranceof the words cf iLc song tver came to the ear of the listener with as much as tbe melody itself. He hid tbe happy faculty, too, of being able to impart to his pupils no mean measure of those graces of style and accentuation which he possessed in so wonderful a degree.

In ihe year 1S1G, in conjunction with the late 3. Field, Mr. Peters established a branch of his bouse in Cincinnati This house, to the conduct of which be gave, several years later, his pcsonal supervision, became afterwards, in the bands of bis sons Messrs. A. and J.

L. tbe largest establishment of the WfiiGins axd MiEAsnuw. The House Of RepresentaUvie ha: passed a ''perrnisslve'' bill, authorizing the use, in this country, of the metric system of weights and measures; and diiect.d the Secretary of tbe Treasury "to famish to each State one set of the standard weights and measure of the metric siein for the use of the States." If-tbi bill becomes a law, it? effect will be not to change our present weights and mei-snres, but to legalize the use of the metric system. It will give the American people an op-pcrtnnity to try this new system, which Is now used by. ninety millions of people, Mr.

RuggUs tells us, Inducing the populations of France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, many pans of Spanish America, Belgium, Holland, considerable portions 01" Germany and Austria. The House paaed at the same time a joint "authorizing tte President to appoint a special commission to negotiate with foreign government for the tatablishment of a common unit of money of identical value in ail commercial countries adopting the same." These bills, says the Xew Tork Evening Post, miaht be entitled measures for facilitating intercourse between nations, and she interchange of commodities. To establish over the civilized wcrtd one system of weights and measures, aud that a decimal system, Is to coufer one of the greatest possible boons upon commerce, to abolish Innumerable meonveniedces which continually cause the loss of both time and property, and to break down many of the barriers to free intercourse bttween people using different 'languages. There are doubtless many old usages to abolish before the world will use a uniform coinage and uniform weights and measures; but the common sense of our people will quickly lead them lo adopt anything which so clearly offers such numerous advantages. We know that old New Yorkers still count by "hillings instead ol dimes, but the practice, which was seriously attacked not mere than a dosen years ago, has already died cut among the younger Tbos.

Approved, Mav 18, ISfiG. in their Insensate course or recall them to prudence and moderation. They seem driven on, not so much by hope as by fear, not so math by bright anticipations of the future as by inability any longer to endure the present.

They cannot improve their finances, bnt they can bury tbe misery of the State under tbe still greater moss of private and individual misery which war would create. With the wounds Of centuries unhealed, with infant institutions which nothisg but peace, industry, and economy can force Into existence, tbey threaten to involve themselves in the waste' and miseries of fruitless war. There is no prize that any one of the three powers which are interchanging menaces cculd obtain that wotvd compensate it for one hundredth part of the evils war would inflict upon it; aad may well be that they would find, as the result cf an exnaustiug struggle, that they had labored for the benefit cf another power, which, having been a calm bnt not uninterested, spectator of the conflict woulu carry off the prize for which the rivals were ccntenJlsg. 3Mr. Gladstone, in presenting his annual bedgtt, in the House of Commons, and Sir Peto, In his bebk giving the results of hie observations during his recent tour in the Bulled States, sajs a Washington paper, have referred, Incidentally, to our national debt and resources.

These representations are well calculated to impress foreign capitalists with the stability of our public credit and entire safety-o! investments in our Government securities. The statement of Mr. Gladstone, as Chancellor of the Exchequer, is not unfavorable to the financial condition of Great Britain. There will fce a surplus of revenue nexVyear, which he proposes to dispose of bv the abolition oi duties on wine and pepper, and an appropriation of half a million for the conversion of pub-lie debt into terminable anruUIes. Mr.

Gladstone shows that this Is a borrowing ana debt-creating age. He states the debts of tee natlots, follows; Etiglund, Prussia," Holland, 27f. 000,000: Aus'ria, Fiance, Italy, X152CC0.0C0; Spain, Xlid.OOO.COO; Portugal, Turkey, Xol.OOO.OOO total, say equal to to which add debt of the United States, a total of 11,320,000,000. these national debts, most of them are steadily on the increase, and intematic-nal wars, in which they originated, are not to cease, but may be rekindled at any time. The Euro, pean (undid debt must remain, for the most part, a perpetual burden upon the industrial resources of the whole country, even if it be not increased.

The resources of some of themmay also be augmented. But, in regard' to England, the prospect oi increase of sources ol revenuel3 not good. According to Mr. Gladstone, and also Mr. Stewart Mill, the coal, which is the basis of British industry atd prosperity, will be exhausted in the course of three' generations.

So, in a hundred years, according to their calculation's there will be nothing left of British wealth except land, labor and movable capital. The labor and capital will seek other TOuntrles, where It can be more profitably employed. When the coal mines aie exhausted there will be nothing left but the eoil, uulesa a substitute bo found. Manufactures and commerce will have disappeared. A decline in British prosperity will be felt long before the end of the lime fcr which the coal is to last.

With reference to the debt of the Uuiud States, Mr. Gladstone nade thefolionintf important nnd paMsfactory statement: I shall refer to one instance which I can contemplate without the least anxiety the deb; of the United Stutea. That debt Is In itself something wonderful as the creation of three or four yta-s. It amounts lo 600,000 000, and the rate of its growth last year exceeded Thatis a wonderful debt, and iw charge is enoimouE. It is not possible in the present ttni.jol financial arrangements in that country 10 itsccilain the charge with precision, but I believe I am not far wrong In saying that it is considerably heavier than our own, although ihe- capital is less.

I'estimate it at about but as the C03t of raising the revenue' in America Is greater than here, I do not think the amount of the charge will be less not including the Southern debt than 35,000,000 per Looking at these fignres, a man would be apt to be struck witb something like despair. But locking at the vigor and energy 01 ihe country which has to bear the burden, I must confess I think the future, as far as finance Is concerned, will not constitute anv difficulty to the American people. I sm confident that if they show with respect to dnance any portion of that extraordinary resolution which both sides manifested during itc war, and if they show that equally remarkable resolution on the return of peace which ihty did during their monstrous and gigantic war, In cutting down their establishments to within moderate bounds, I will not say, to use a irodern phrace, that the debt will be a flea-bite, but that in a moderate time it will be brought within very small limits, and that even these now living may see it effaced. I believe that America la at this moment paving every one of her taxes, and the amount of revenue o'l the United States is, I apprehend, not less than 0 000,000 the largest sum ever raised in any country for the purposes of a central govern-nient. Of this sum only about 10,000,000 is borne impatiently by the people.

The Finance Minister Mr. McCnlloch, strongly urges the policy of reducing the debt, and 1 think we ought from this side of the water to scud him our gocd wfchts ior his success, both on account of friendly feeling and because It is to be hoped that the example of America will react beneficially here. It is not improbable that our debt may be ex-tinpulshed in forty yfars, or a much less period, FOB1S6G. diSHaratka of lie Age in-Hoop Skirts. J.

In the convention, to-day, Dr. Techenor, of Alabama, submitted a report and address upon the aubject of all'ordicg religious in.truction to the colored population of ute South, the encouragement ol day schools among them, and the education of colored preachers by the Bip-tist pastors, Tcis report elicited some euscus-eien, hut it was the unanimous sentiment ofthe convention that the former masters of the slaves were thfir proper Instructors, and thst Baptists, above all others, should actively and energetically exert themselves in the matter.

Mcintosh, of Alabama, and Poindex-ter, of Virginia, alluded to the absutd prrjuidtce ealsting against teaching the blacki. They could etc no degradation in it. Dr.Crawlord of Georgetown' College, spoke of ths laws formerly existing in Georgia, prohioit-ioE even owners'to teach thtir slaves. He and his children had violated thaflaw, for it was a law strains; God- Tte repcrt was adopted without opposition. A preamble and resolution defining the opinion of the canon upon the subject of religious liberty, was introduced by A.

P. Williams, ot Missouri. It ress-rerts that the great cardinal and fundamental principles of Biptlst fiith which have ever been In antagonism to persecution for conscience' sake. The declaration, of opinion gave rise to a discussion of very general interest. The Miouri delegates were opposed to any personal allu-tious to themselveb or the persecution tbey have undergone and are now Bnt the Convention preferred to express its sympathy with its Missouri brethren and Its detestation of tho "despothm" that prevails there.

Speeches were raaic by Dr. Fuller, of and Dr. Burrows, of Richnuad. Dr. Fuller gave his personal experience in the midst of civil war, and how he had obeved the laws of the United States, not for patriotism, but for religion, having stated this to tbe auihoritie-a at Washington when he was thiciteatdwithim-prisonmenL Dr.

Burrows, ot Richmond, stated that he had nothing to repent of in what he had said, or thought, or done, during the past five years, and that to no man living would he ever make acknowledgcrrcnts, or ask pardon of any but the Lord of all. Professor Boyce, of South Carolina, who was, fcr moults after bis State seceded, a warm Unionist, but afterward a staff officer, spoke upon the subject of soul liberty. It was. he -aid, Bible doctrine, as well as Baptist doctrine, and should be and reinstated by the Convention. This discussion gave occasion to the most spirited debates of tbe session, and there was evidently much teeling on the im-poitant question ol military and civil Interference with religions affairs.

The best, snd in short the only practicable route, is via Chat'nnosga, Atlanta and Mncon. The railroad fare for the entire distance from Louisville, is thirty-four dollars. Tte hotels all along the line cha-ge a uniform rate of four dollars per diem, thongh the fare accommodation often differs widely: the best accemnK dation I loaud at Portvallcy, Ga midway between Macon and AcdersonvlUc At the Lanier House, Macon, (like the rst, a four dollar Louse,) we had the strongest butter I ever tasted, welch would have fceca a disgrace to nn Irish board In other rtspjcis ihe fare was passable! We passed through Nashville, where nearly twenty thousand soldiers are buried side by-s'dc in one patch, whh nothing to mark their resting-places but miserabJeioekiag pieces of shir gles, hastily stuck In at the head and foot of each grave, on which tbe name Is some rudely cut with a knife, but mast frequently scrawied with a pencil.

Every bridgQ has its blockhouse, every hill-top its earthworks and As you approach Chattanooga, the country becomes mere rugged and plciurcsqu: we rattle along on 9 narrow ledge of reeky precipice, with huge, massire, overhogin rocks on one side, and a deep chasm on the other, where a very slight mishap would precipitate us into thr fccthlcg and boiling current beneath us. We pass through Chattanooga, Lookout Mountain, Cblckamauga, AllaioonD. Resaci and Atlanta, places hf nceioith remarkable In history, which bear witness to the matchless genius of Sherman, the heroic courage of Tbomos, the dash of Hocker and tbe gallantry of Garfield. Their names and great achievements fjr the life of tte republic will be deservedly hnuded down to succeeding generations, and wii re-mam an Illustrious record through all time in Ihe history or a grateiul people.

Starr, wife of tie unfortunate man who would have died upon the gallows on Friday next but for the Interposition of the Governor. Tte facts, however, were not made public until last evening, the officers thinking it mtebt operate against the capture of the scoundrel who would thus rob a woman of her all, and st a time when the most hardened should pity, and if ptssible lend her a helping hand. It set ms that a man named James Bell some time ego went to Mrs, Btarr, and, representing himself as a lawyer of influence with the Gov-erncr and others who might be of use in procuring her husband's pardon, or a commutation of his sentence, persuaded her to employ bim to aid her. Being a respectable-Iookiog man of advanced years; and she resolved to leave no store unturned to aid her husband, Mrs. Starr employed bin, aud by one pretext and ar otter he got from her $1,100 as fees and for other purposes.

It was then arranged that he shcu'd accompany Mrs. Starr to Jefferson, and they were to start on Thutsday last. Wednesday night EeU called on her, and gave her advice as to her actions, but declared a very irnpcritnt matter had turned up, and he could net accompany her. He furthermore told her that the State might force her to pty the heavy costs of the late trials, provided her husband was pardoned or bis sentence commuted, and he would advise her as a friend to deposit her money with some reliable person In view of such an event, besides she ought not to take it with her, as she might be robbed, and be offered to keep it ior her, and give It to her on her return. With implicit faith In his integrity, Mrs.

Starr gave him all her money, reserving Enflicient for her trip, amouming to $7,000 in gold and greenbacks. BeB saw her off on the train in the morning, but he charged her par ticularly not to return unut -vionoay. Accomplishing her ami. the unfortunate lady returned on Sunday nighL Calling at the residence of Bell, on Fifth street, between Carr and Biddle, Monday morning, she found the house vacated by bim, and no one knew where he had gone. Then the (ruth flashed uponTier her all on earth of money bad been taken by tht man BAL She immediately applied to the Chief of Police Lallwid.

Officers were detailed and charged to vlidlance. It was ascertained that the villain had sold out all hts furniture on Friday end left -none knew whither, with his family a wife, four daughters, acd a grown son.

It Is usual whh those who have written tketches similar to that which the writer has endeavored to lay before his readers, to conclude their labors with a summary of the special characteristics for which thse whom tbey had attempted to eulogize were dis tinguished. This Is scarcely necessary in the present instance, as these have been, in regard to the subject of th notice, sufficiently touched upon In the conttxt. It has beea seea that the late Mr.

Peters was wholly exempt from that bane to success in the business of life idleness which so often compromisia the best efforts of really talented Inilividuals. He aenieved success by the tncrgy displayed by bim In its pursuit. It has been seen, also, that his whole mind was imbued with the love of his art. In u-aking the choice of a profession, he did not fritter away his time in the pursuit or things which lay in a different direction. In his social relations, he was polite and urbane towards all, and kindness itself towards his friends.

In the prosecution of his business, he was always jest and honorable, and often in the highest degree generous. As a futbf-r, be was in the tacit ot giving to bis children just that amount ef direction which, while it served to command their respejt, served likewise to preserve in them a sense of n. lit nee upon iheir own efforts and abilities, and which proved in the end not only the clearness of his own judgment, but the means of benefitting greatly those whom he hoped would one day occupy his place. As a husband, he was always kind and always considerate. Hts home was not only tbe abode of peace and pltnty, but he ever loved to enliven it with the graces of a hospitality that was trnly genial.

In a word, he pursued an honorable career, lived a uselul ard blameless life, and died respected bv all who had Known him. LopttvitLB, May, ISC5. B. J. W.

The Coming W.rt Europe What Djes Italy Mean? Threats of approaching war croud up. us from every Our tele-giat-h column contains a strange medley ot iu-rbiii aiion, which cannot certainly all be true, tbcugb, unbapf lly impossible to separate truth jrf falsehood. Italy, wc are told, is astonished at the military preparations of Austria, having made no connler-preparatlcn to justify such proceeding. She is watching the frontier line of the Mincio and thePo, and calling under arms the soldiers on furlough. Prince Mct-lenlch, on the other hand, assures the French Government that Austria is ready to effect a ccniplete disarmament in Venetla, if France will guarantee that Venetla shall not be Invaded.

She declares she will not take the offensive against Italy. She asserts that she has ccrumenced disarmament in Bohemia, but refuses to give up ber concentration of forces on the Italian frontier. On the other baud, Prussia believes that she herself is the object ofthe armaments of Austria, and that the preparations oa the side of Italy ere nothing but a feint to draw eff the attention of Prussia from threatening demtnstratlons on her own frontier. Austria firmly believes that Italy Is in alllauce with Prussia, and thai France ha3 given her consent, and perhapE more than consent, to the transaction. With this reciprocally bad opinion of each other's good faith, frankness, and honor, it cannot but excite astonishment that, while negotiations proceed uninterruptedly, armaments proceed faster still, so that every power seems to draw back further and further from the chances of an amicable settlement.

Everybody seems Inclined to advance, and nobody to recede. Time will unravel this great enigma, and point out to 115 who are the dupes and who are the deceivers, and, above all, what Is tbe machinery that is thus sporting with the passions and destinies of mankind. There is something behind to which we have no clue-so me perverse element, like taft, in tho "Midsummer Night's Dream," which delights iu set ting friends by the ears, and involving its victims in the mcst incomprehensible It wculd seem impossible that Italy ahould dare to bring upon herself the whole power of 'tho Austrian Empire, unices Bhe possessed some support more to be relied on than her own newly formed wmy, and not thoroughly united provinces. It may be that she has really entered iuto a treaty with Prussia, and that she is destined to draw upon herself the first attack, so that her antagonist may suddenly invade a naked Austrian frontier; and it Is possible that the Emperor of the French may have come under some obligation to prevent the conquest of Italy, in case the war should not be successful. On the other hand Austria's pugnacity bas probably some other cause than mere hatred or fear of Italy, else she could hardly have vc mured to commence a war with her Southern neighbors, while her Hungarian quarrel Is yet unhealed and undecided.

We heir more of the prci aralions of every other power than that of which has hitherto been considered the mcst adventurous and pngnaciou3 of European States. One question must occur to cvcr- cue has France abdicated the control she has hitherto exercised over Europe? Have her counsels lost their former weight, herlplo their skill, or.her armies their valor? And, if not, why does she permit the breaking out oi a conflict which seems likely to spread a conflagration through every kingdom In Europe! It seems to rest with her to say a single word, aud theee threatening preparations would subside as speedily as they have arisen. But that word ii not said, and we are left to imagine that If Europe be Involved In war it must be because France Is not concerned to prevent It. In France herself the idea gains ground that the far-sighted director of her destinies views with no very serious annoyance the present conjuncture of affairs. The condition of Austrian and Italian Seance, If nothing else, should deter those countries from these costly demonstrations.

They have drained their exchequers and ruined their credit in supporting vast armies, which inflict upon them in peace many ofthe evils of war. War ig a fearful scourge, but like other great mla-fortunee, it has Its uses; it braces, the energies and strengthens the nerves of a nation; it is, after all, tbe ultimate arbitrator, from whom there Is no appeal, in the decision of controversies in which the tongue and the pen have been employed In vain. Rights may become so blended with wrongs that human justice is powerless to decide between them, and tbe barbarous rule of force has, at any rate, this advantage thai, whether right or wrong, it is sure to give a decision of some eoiL But the plan of rival armaments, of a competing expenditure in time of peace, inflicts upon a nation most of the calamities of war without offering any equivalent. Austria and Italy have each provided themselves with an enormous army, which they cannot support tor want offends, and dare not disband for fear of each other. It is a melancholy spectacle if all that has been done for the advancement and civilization of the human race is to end in this that great monarchic are to be perpetually arming and disarming, adv causing each other to arm and disarm, and thus uepcnd money which they have not got, and know not where to raise.

To gratify this passion for military display and power, their subjects ait bowed down with intolerable burdens. agricuTkure Is neglected, commerce languishes, and all he arts of life are arrested In their onward progress, while all that the Slate gains for so many sacrifices is the procession of a vast machine, a sort cf military Frankenstein, endowed with a life and volition cf its own, and capahla cf plunging Its possessors Into the most terrible calamities. Constant experience has taught us thai when nations arrive at the point of exaltation which Prussia, Austria, and Italy have now attained, the advice of well-meaning friends is lit-le at tended to. We surrendered all hopes hit. anjthlsg which can be urged by the Govern-t, nrccU the Parliament, or the press of Great Britain will arrest these daogerous gamesters kind in the West, and scarcely ice numoer 01 11s pnmta subjects and In the extent of its busluesi operations, to any other In the country.

In 1318 hid Louisville was merged Into thar, of Pctera. Webb, Co. the firm comprising himself as senior parlner, bis brother, Mr. H. J.

Peters, aad Mr. B. J. Webb, the two list bfiog of the pretest firm of Peters, Webb, extensively ca gated in tbe manufacture ol piano -fortes in LoubTillc. A year later he sold to bis partners his entire interest in the business, and removed to Baltimore, where he opriaeJ, and for a short time carried on, a similar house.

The exigencies of bis business In Cincinnati requiring his piesmcc and personal mention, be removed lo city in where be ercr afterwards resided. Frtm this time he devo'cd himself in a enpcial manner Lo th labor of nnd perfecting his already extensive catalogue of musical works. giUlng up reprints of many Eimuaru European pucneaiions. ne gave employment to native talent, in so far as be conic, snd thus enriched his catalogue-with Lurmrous original productions. The labor of preparing so mmy subjects for tbe press was Immense.

As in cotnpoiiiwns that are purely literary, even whea they are tbe e-ifipiicg of minds of the highest order of genius, blemishes often creep iu from a careless manner of writing, so in regard to musical compositions, ihe writers are too apt to loox at the thought that happens to occupy their minds at the time, than at tbe exactness of tho language with which they would clothe it. Too irequently, in song wilting, they permit tie accent of the mut-ic to ren where the libretto decs cot admit of any accent at all, and as frequently tbey reverse this order, and leave the harmony unaccented when the wording requires that It sxiould be. No man understood better than Mr. Peters, nor felt more sensitively, how detrimental both to verso and music was this incongruous style of compefcliion. in the meantime bis own pen was not Idle.

Not even in bis younger days, an excusable sentiment oi ambition might be supposed 10 have prompted him to tucb exercise of bis talent, had he written so much or so variedly. At home iu every department of music, and apparently as much interested while engaged in simplifying a primary lesson for children as he was when employed in some h'gher branch of crinpositiOB, ne seldom devoted less man one-third of each day to writing. He had been long actively engaged in the business of teaching, and his experience bad giren him a cltar Insight whatever was wanted to the practical development of the art iu this country. As a publisher he had to deal as well with inexperienced teachers, themselves ball taught, and poorly-gifted pupils as with gocd musicians and with scholars that were both talented and ambitious. This lact will explain why it was that he wrote so much that dots net bear hhs noma, and why it Is that bis catalogue of original subjects presents so di-versidtd on ospdet, in regard as well to the degree of reerit the compcsition3 as to ibe difficulties which they offer to the performer.

It should have been mentioned In Its proper place, that In the year 1812 Mr. Peters attached himself to tbe Catholic church, of which body he continued, during the remainder of bis life, a consistent and exemptaiy membar. This change In his religions however, brought with no tstiungtment between himself and numerous Prottstant friends, and bia Intercourse with these continued to be of the most cardial character. Free himself from anything bordering on fanaticism, ever unobtrusive of bis ofin opinions, aud genial in hii intercourse wiih all men. It was impossible foronyone either to doubt hid sincerity or not to honor him fur the open manifestation ho tbeu gave of tbo change thfct had taken place In bis religions views.

In 3837 a great mlsforlune overlook him in the death cf bis wile, whose health lui been failing for several years. This excellent lady, whie urbane ho-pitality and unaffected manners hid made her general favorite with all who knew ber, has her best eulogy in the chiid-len whom she lived to see prosperously engaged iu bnsiness, and honored and respected for the possession cf thise qualities of heart and mind which command general regard. From this time he gave up, iu a great measure, the practical workings of his bnslnes into the hands of his sone, contenting himsslf with lhat general supervision and advice which their comparative Inexperience rendered neceisary, and reifining exclusive control over the publishing department of the concern. The most important work that engaged bis attention at thie time was bis Eclectic Pianoforte School." The immense sale which this work commas ded from the time it was first issued, and the csttcm in which it is now held tbroughont the country, both by teachers and scholars, give ecQiclent evidence of its intrinsic merits as a work of instruct as well ai of the care, even to the minutest details, which was bestowed upon its arrangement by tbe outuor. Soon after hl3 removal to Cincianati Mr.

Peters had purchased a suburban dwelling hcuie. with extensive grounds attached, on Walnut Hiils. Here he resided, and here it was that his leisure hours were pasecd. His plans for the Improvement and decoration of the place were very thorough, and they Involved a great Amount ol labor. This labor, however, served him in the place of recreation.

When not otherw ise engaged, his whole tm6 was given to It His most notable characteristic, indeed, ap-peartd to be an industry that was indefatigable. He was iever idle. Even bis social hoars were spent, either in discussing matters of practical utility of interest to himself or others, or in gathering and imparting valuable information having reference to hi favorite art. For twenty-five years of bis life hi literally lived in his counting-houfc and in his private study. In the one he mltht be found at all' hours of the day, his clear mind directing the mtnuteH details of hU business, and In the other he pased his stceiliis.

still busilv emoloved In composing. or correcting the various cubjects he nau on nana tor publication, now mcessauuy he labored wilt be better understood when the fact is slated, that bid own published compositions and arrangements numbered at ihu time of his death no fewer than Ueentyfice distinct eubfects. Much Ihe greaterpart of ihete, to be sure, were published anony-roccsly, not because of any lack of merit in Ih'j compositions themselves, or of care iu their arrangement, but because the too frequent repetition of his own name as author, 1b the cata-icguc of the house, suggested to him a certain idea of impropriety. It may be said that we have had in this conn trv composers of more genius than Mr. Peters: musicians more facile in tbe line of practical illustration; students that had gone deeper Into the theory of the ait, and who had thereby acquired a more classical taste.

Though this may be all true, it Is yet extrcmaly doubtful if there has been a individual connected with the profession In the Lulled Slates who has done more for the advancement of the science of music than the late Wm. C. Peters. In pronouncing judgment upon his professional merits, it should be remembered that he was bub a musician and a merchant. Few among his customers and patrons were of the class a class even-where small iu point of numbers that were disposed lo give up to the study of the art tbe time necessary to make them proficient either in its theory or its practice.

Had the issues of bis cress included onlv those sub jects which were regarded as possessing a high oroer 01 merit 100 nign to do propcrry appreciated bv the great mass of ordiniry playershe would bave but insured his own failure as a man of business. He was thus placed under the necessity of writing and publishing such music as would not be certain to remain upon bis shelves, uncalled for, because unappreciated by the majority of his patrons. In saying this much, in answer to those who may be' disposed to depredate tbe character aud style of his compositions and publications, tbe writer wonld not be understood as allowing that there was any lack of merit in the various productions of his pen, or that tie general issues of bis press were inferior in this respect to those of the other publishing houses of the country. Many of his compositions, on the contrary, indicate great musical powers, and there ii not one among them that shows any want of knowledge, on tbe author part, of those rules which govern tbe art. 8ome, to be sure, arc as simple as he cculd make them, because they were written for those, as be very well knew, who would not or could not devote to their mastery, bad be rendered them more difficult, the time necessary to accomplish such a task.

But as he never wrote in a careless manner, nor in a style lha: was in tbe least decree faultv. the simplicity of these sDeciil tnh- jects, instead of being a bar to progress in the an, nas proven, reauy an am to its development. His relations with parties connected with the "music trade11 In this country were alwava of the most pleasant character. He was himself a leadlrg member of the "Bard of Music Trade of tbe United States," when that body was first organized, and hia clear-sighted views upon the various subjects discussed at their meetings, never failed to have their just weight In the decisions arrived at by the association. The writer was present on the occasion of a visit paid to him In 1559, by the members of this Board, at tbe close of thtir deliberations their meeting having taken place that year in Cincinnatiand it as pleasant to witness the with which he welcomed his guests, and the earnestness wiih which he sought to render their x'nit both agreeable and entertaining.

BALPEHAX, Courier. IIAHNH.Y, IIUGUKS. M.uch 12. MONDAY, MAY 2S, 1866. TO THE PEOPLE OF KENTUCKY.

The attitude assumed by tbe dominant party, of section only, In the National Congress denying one of tbe fundamental and vital principles of free government tbe right of representationand tbe substitution of military government under the control of enbordinate and Irre-t-poneible agencies, JofiUy excite the alarm of all thoughtful men throughout the country, and give rise to grave apprehensions aa to the security and preservation of constitutional lib-crty. The bold and manly efforts of our present Chief Magistrate In arresting the revolutionary movements of this sectional majority hare thus far saved us from tbe latal effects of permanent consolidation of all power in a centralized government unknown to the founders and fatal to our free system of government. The danger ii not putted; tbe bold and reckless men whohavein-auqurated these revolutionary schemes for the overthrow of constitutional freedom, though by the action ol the President, are not dismayed; but, vritn renewed zeul and malignant hate, are now engaged in forging measures in rapid succession which look to tbe ear-tain destruction of the rightful powers of the States over questions of local government which were wisely confided to them by tbe founders of our National Government. Men of all parties, posseted of an enlightened jadgment and a just appreciation of the difliculUes which environ the path of President Johnson in this critical hour of our natioaa athiirs, cannot longer withhold their approval of bis manly and noble struggle against the eiforts of a dominant party to reduce one-third of the States of this great Unton to the con. dition of conqnered provinces, which, if euo efssful, would prove alike disastrous to victor and vanquished, and render the triumph of our national arms a solemn mockery and ruinous failure.

Regarding the Union restoration policy an-nounctd by President Johnson in his annual menace, ard, also, the principles declared by him iu bis late veto messages, as vital to the preservation of constitutional liberty and free Government, all men iu Kentucky should unite in giving an authoritative expression of tlielr hearty and earnest support of' the policy and principles set forth in said messages, that the President may be encouraged and have his hands upheld by a grateful people while he makes battle for the right without regard to party associations. Unfortunately for us at this time, when unity of action has becomeof the utmost importance, we find rival parties in our midst preparing for political meetings which will inevitably tend to widen the differences that have hitherto divided them, and thus destroy the moral force and tflect of their power, when it is obvious that a common interest is involved which can alone be justly and appropriately vindicated by a barmoulous and united uction. With ihe view, therefore, ol preventing, if poteiMc, further dissentlons among those who agrtc up6n Ibu HueraI Principles involved In these vital issues, and the necessity of unity of action, we appeal to all men fill partfe3, who earnestly d-siro tbe restoration of godd covern-mtnt and the preservation of a Cotwtituthtiol Union, Lo meet in mass convention at Louisville, 30th day of Mas, 1SG6, for tho purpose of giving tho voice of the people of Kentucky utterance upon tbe questions of tbe hour, and also to pls.ee her in harmonious relations with all men North, South, East, and West, who, in the language of the gifted Stephens, in his recent address before tbe Legislature of Georgia, are ready to banisb tbe passions and prejudices engendered by tbe late unhappy struggle, and unite in the restoration of a constitutional Union, freed of the excrescences which nave out of a state of war;" and we invite all who wish the Constitution unrolled and expounded and observed in all of its parts, and the complete restoration of civil authority, with the restoration of the great writ of buman freedom, which Is the citizen's right iu time of peace, to meet In council on that day and give embodiment to their wilted and harmonious action. lion.

Ccmri'fludencc ci the New York Herald. WHAT IHE FREEDMA2T3 BUREAU REAL LY 13 1 VIRGINIA. NORTH CAROLINA, AND SOUTH CAROLINA. WHAT IS THK liCREAU." In Virginia the Bureau means a court composed of three gentlemen, one au officer In the Lolled ctaua army, tne second a representative ehesen by the citizens of tbe district, tho third 1 representative elected by the freedmen, all three of them being, as a rule, men of sound common sense and honesty, neither speculators nor fenatlcs, but anxious in the main to act fairly by all parties. Hence In Virginia the Bureau, though disliked as a Federal interference and part of the army of occupation, had aroused no violent passions or antagonism Norfolk only being laid on one side as an case.

In North Carolina the Bureau means a one-man power as Governor Holden put it a tribunal composed of one man, who Is judge, juror, sheriff', and constable; who makes arrests, imposes licet, decides knotty questions of title 10 Und (even though he should happen to be, as was Chaplain lav is, ot GoldVboro, so Ignorant of taw as not to know a civil from a criminal case), picks out the best cotton Iar.ds In the State and farms them on his own hosk, with the best labor be can get In a labor market over which his officinl position gives hint entire control, nnd who, if he happens to bj placed in chaise of a negro settlement, constitutes a little Whz, with the title of "Governor," and tortmeg, fleeces, and imprisons the freed-ntti. at his pleasure. Hence, in North Cirolina tbe Bureau Id hated by both whiles and blvckst ivcd is proving an almoit unmitigated nuisance, Iii Scuth Carolina the Bureau means neither a three-man power nor a one man power, bat simply a disturbing agf ncv, without any power at ex'cept to und to collsct charges for the provost courts to dispose of. Soon after the" evacuation of Charleston a contest relative to their respective powers between Generals Gilmore and Saxton led to the esf ib-lisbment of provost courts, by whose agency the judicial business of the Bureau is virtually transacted. Hence in and around Charleston theie is ccnluskn, and a continued clashing between the military authorities and the agents of the Bureau, aud the abolition of one or the other is Imperatively called for, or the! consolidation of both in one.

The powers and of administration of the Freedmcn's Bnrcau in ttese three States, It will rims be seen, dir'er as widely as do tbe organic laws Dahomey and Massachusetts, and to talk of the Frecdmen's Bureau in the abstract aeeomewie end beneficent institution, shed-diog a benignant influence over the colored race throughout the South, Is to speak of something that docs not exist and never has existed. The Bureau is a good or bad institution, according to tbe personal character or the agent who administers It; it varies In evcrv county and changes with every change of officers. This is one of Its greatest weaknesses, and one oi the strongest a-gumtnts against iis permanent continuance. srjniraSTS or Tim cttizexs. A few of the representative citizeu3 of waiicd upon General Sieedman last evening.

They told the same story we have h' ard eve: yw here. No outrages, no burning of school houses, no antigonism of races, kindlv feeling towards the fiecdccn, aud a disposition to act fairly and indulgently towauls them. The ct-rtbel, General James Connor; who was prcft'Dt, asserted that the Bureau was doing a terloue frjmyto the cUss it was designed to aencut in mis way. mie tne uurcau was in existence the frcedmen would not abide by their contracts, and the planters were employing white laborers, I cannot tcil how far thii may te ttc case. I only know of one instance of tbe kind, a Sea Island planter, a Mr.

Joan- son brought down fifty white laborers. Taey coft him five hundred dollars for i Hon, and when be got them fairly to woik they struck for higher wagw Mr. Johntou is rather liktlv to go back to colored labor. It was maintained by another gentleman at the meeting; as a proof of tbe deposition of the planters, that in districts wheic there wits no Bureau ikeie was ten to one less destitution, lea to one fewer deitbs, and ten to one less imposition on tie ntgroes than in districts where the Bureau existed. General Connor stated that in ICer- 1 shaw connty, whcie there was no Bureau, the frcedmen made their own anj were gettixig on much belter than elsewhere.

1 TUK SKA ISLANDS AS T1IRV WERE. Of the present state cf affairs on the Sea 1 Islands I shall te better able to speak in my next, but Gentr! Beecter, who Uwk command of a department inclnd'vg these islands in Ar-gnst last, gives a strange picture of the law-lustcse and disorder that then and had for some time previously prevailed under General Saxfon's administration of affairs. Frauds and rascalities of every description, from petty lar-tiny upwards, were perpetrated under of the Freedmen's Bureau. Thi negroes, instigated by unscrupulous civilian r-gents of the Bureau, who tola them they had a right to the land, and man keep every white man off the Island, formed an armed or j-aniza. tion and arrUd every white man who at tempted to lard.

Armed bands of negroes made predatory forays on the malu-laud and drove off all the cattle tiat came in their way. Tbe allotments of lands set apart for the frcedmen under General Sherman's order were universally left uncultivated. In JannarylastGeu-eral Beech er found but two acres "listed out" for plantirg In the whole Edlto Island, and it was only bv stopping the supply of rations and placing the alternative ol work or starvation before the negroes that he could get them to take hoe in hand. These same "forty acre" allotments were fcund of most elastic dimensions. The smallest was three and a half acres, and the largest four hundred and fifty, and they ranged sll along between these two points.

Dc-zens of negroes holding land orders for one island were found in possession of lota on another island, aud the greatest difficulty was experienced in dispossessing them. General Beecber suppressed the armed lawlessness, and was in a fair way to organize a Evstem of labor, when the Frsedman's Bureau bill passed Congress and again threw everything into confusion and renewed the lawlessness. Since the veto of that measure by the President the state of affairs bas improved, thongh the islands are still far from being in a satisfactory condition. From ninety to a hundred plantations on the four islands are In fair working order. Tbe frcedmen ore getting over the idea of a necessary antagonism between the races.

They find they are not oppressed, and are beginning to act up to their contract. The great drawback here, as everywhere in the South, are want of capital and too much of the Bureau.

He formed musical societies, opened musical halls, and did far more to mako ours musical city than all others had ever done before him. He was not less great as a musical compeser than as a musical performer and teacher. And he was universally recognized as a most genial and excellent gentleman; he W3: beloved and admired by all.

Wm. C.

Peters was born in Modberry, connty of Devonshire, England, on the 17th dav of May, ISOo. He came to the United States sometime in the year 1821, and btcame an inmate of the family of an older brother, John Peters, thtn and siUl resiling iu the town of Blaiisville, Pu. Having been from early youth gteatly attached to tbe art which he afterwards to eminently illustrated, he took special occasion at this time to qualify himself, so fur as his opportunities and means afforded, for the he had chosen that of a teacher of muac A few years later he was en.pl-yed In this cspucityat the German eelr-tltment of Economy, where his success as teacher gave indications of that after cele- biity acquired by him through tbs force of engine luenstry ana an ardent love ol hts art. Mr. Peters removed to Pittsburg, eariv in the year where he at once took blgb rank in his profession, uud where, during a residence of over four years, ho gave lessons to the daughters ol many ef tbe most respectable citlaeus of the.

uuuiuj Mwt uhj a.r.tai ui umuurg, he received the appointment of organist and dtiecior of tbe choir in the church of the Rev. John Henry Hopkins, (now EpiscopaljBIahop of Vet mom). This position he held for several years, to the entire satisfaction of ihe pastor and congregation. It was tnrough the considerate kindness of Dr. Hopkins, "for whom be tver attewards reiaiced the warmest affection, that he was introduced to some of the most promineui cit'zms of Pitt csnddeuce and friendship te continued to enjoy, not onlv during his residence there, but fur manv years alteiwards.

Among these miv in gpectallv mentioned, the late Chas, Van Bonhorst, E-ri and Dr. Cioghan. During the second tcr of his reffceuce in Pittsburg, he was united Iu niauinionT with Mies Charlotte Midzlcv, of Troy, N- Y. Though his duties at this 'time, Jarfct-jy ncreaseu by his appointment to the diivctorsbip ol Dr. Hopkins's Cor.rch choir, gave him little time for research, lost no opportunity to Improve mind through the study of muBtcnl works as happened to be within his reach.

'3 leisure hours, instead of being given up to recreation, as would have been the case with most persons under similar clicnmstnuces, were spent either In study or in tbe endeavor to acquire greater proliciency In the practical department of his profession. Early in the year ho conceived the idea of establishing himself in the music business in one or our Southern cities, and In furtherance this Idea be took paesage, about the 1st of Febiuaiv, in a steamer bound lor New Orleans. The boat reached Louisville in the midst of tbe great flood of lhat year. The writer ha? of ten henrd him relate the fact lhat his entry into the commercial metropolis of Kentucky was by yt ir.dow in the second story of bis hotel. The oat having been detained for several dayi in consequence of tbe tlovid, be Jouud ample op-porniLity to examine the locality iu which he Unnd himself, and the result wts a determiaa-iku on bis part to proceed ro further, bat to take up bis residence in Louisville He at oace advertised for pupils, and it was but a short time lefcre he had as many as he could attend to.

From this time to the end of his career as a lender, he never had occasion to seek for pupils. They came to unsought many, Indeed, from the surrounding districts, where his reputation as a successful instructor soon became aa rccll known as In the city Itself. Ju the year 1834 he established In Louisville a hon for the sale of sheet Bjnflc and mnslcal instruments. In a small room on Main, above Third street, ho first opened his stock, which consisted of three pinnntortes, a few guitars, violins, tlates, fcc.t together with a small eelectlon of sheet music The latter was kept In an ordinary wardrobe lilted np with This little concern was the nucleus from which aiterwards arose the extensive establishments connected with bis name in Louisville, Cincinnati and St Louis. About this time Mr.

Peters made bis first es-sas In musical arrangement and composition, bis primary effort resulting in a two page piece of mcsic for the Pianoforte entitled '-The LonLs-ville March." This piece became at once popular, and It still retains its place in public favor. His tuslness was moderately prosperous up to tbe year 1S37, when the financial crash of that year involved him, as it did so many others, In serious losses. Not di-heartened, however, he pereervered In Its propecutlou, and wss soon enabled, not only to make up the losses he had sustained, but to materially increase both his resources and his business facilities. Having no press of his own, bis numerous compositions and arrangements, up to this time, and till the year 1814, were disposed or to Eastern publishers. The best known among these are the songs, ilO Doubt Not," and the "Ssilcr-boy," "Oh Prahe the Lord," sacred anthem, Peter's Mass in and the "Vesper Hymn to tho Virgin." The high merits of these compositions are tco -well known to the musical community lo require, at the writer's bands, either comment or eulogy.

In May, 1814, he established a press for printing music in Louisville, find made a beginning of that latgc and valuable catalogue of sheet music and muieal works which, at tbo time of bis death, numbered over five thousand distinct subjects. His pleasant manners and other social characteristics made Mr. Pkteks' society especially agreeable to ihos ewho took an interest in the development of talent in the fine arts. His most intimate associates, during bis long residence in Louisville, were of this class. Among these may be mentioned the late Jos.

G. Drake, and Mrs. Amelia Welby also F. Cosby, George D. Prentice and W.

D. Gallagher, Eq'rs. Several productions of each of theee writers he set to music, wedding to their flowing verses the element of harmonious sound, and thereby giving to them a fame more Immediate and more extended if not more enduring and more deserved than they could otherwise have acquired. Fi cm his first connection with the church choir of Dr. Hopkins, in Pittsburg, to the erd of Lis life, Mr.

Peters took great interest In all that relates to what is called pncrid or church music. Everywhere be found the church choirs a spiritless and efftte custom of singing and chanting, which gave abso. lute torture to his educated sense cf proprietv. his own choirs first in Pittsburg, and afterward in Louisville and Cincinnati his primary efforts weicalwavs dliccted'witb a view. to reform in this particular.

About two weeks ago a practicing physician of this city, mined Ong, whose tflice, we believe is, or was, ou Third street, between Broudway or bycamorev was arrested at lha In-ftanee ola lacy, bIso of this city, who clurged him with seducing her daughter, young girl onlv sixteen vears old. Tie mother ot tbe ucfortunflte victim has occupied a very respectable position in our city, and is well ktown to most of our Influential citizens. The daughter was found misiing one morning and the mother knowing that the Doctor was In a position to accomplish such au set, charged him wiih tbe offense and caused his arrest, as stated.

The case came up before 'Squire Powers, who continued the case in order to give the mother time to find her truant and victimized daughter, and in default of bail, ujsde out Ibe proper commitment papers to send the Doctor iojmI. These papers, tot-ether with the Doctor, were placed In the hands ol Constable Millar. The mother asked permission, on tho way to the jail, to hold a conversation with the doctor, wLich the consiablc granted, and which ulti-mnitd In the Doctor agreeing to flndfthe girl if Millar would hire a horse and buggy and go with him. This was agreed to and, instead or gcing to jail, the gay Doctor w.nt a riding iu company with the constable. The parly proceeded lo near Richmond, Indiana, where the eui wap, and taking her in the vehicle started to return to the city.

Whea about thirteen ji'iHs frcm here, between the hours twelve ono one o'clock, the Doctor received permission to enter a house rm tbe read side, leaving the constable and the girl seated in tbe buggy. The result of this was that tbe Dr. made bis eiCApe. After waiting a sufficient length of time for the return to the vehicle of the man of physic, the CoEMsble dismounted and learned to his astonishment that tho bird had flown. He brought the girl lo the city and gave her over to tbe charge of her mother, and at once proceeded to telegraph to all large cities a full description of the fugitive.

After eome davs had elapsed, the Chief of the St. Louis Police detected a letter addressed to a certain party in that city from the who was then at Cleveland, nisder tbe alios of Mr. Henry Smith, asking that all letters that came to him there be fa word td to him at Cleveland and directed as stated. 1 The St. Louis Chief at once telegraphed Chief Enfiln, of this city, who telegraphed to the Chief of the Cleveland Police to arrest Smith, Ihe Cleveland Herald reports as follows 'On Saturday, Capt.

Fumal received a dispatch lrom James L. Ruffin, Chief of Police, Cincinnati, to arrest, Dr, Ocf who was supposed to be In this city. The case was put into the hands of detective, who succeeded in finding the man, late in the evening at the Weddell House, where he was stopping, wiih a woman, under the tome of Henry Smith. "The authorities at Cincinnati were notified, and officer Millar from that city, arrived this moraine, OEd returned with his prisoner. Oag alias Smith, has been under arrest in Cincinnati, charged with forgery, seduction, and em-tezzlement, but effected his escape last week.

He Is about twenty-eight years of age, of medium size, and is a fine looking man. He says the only thing ihev can possibly bring against him is seduction. When the arrest was ma.de he affected to think hirnsell crossly insulted, and went back" upon his dignity in the most polisher) manner. Mrs. Org: alias Smltb, was also taken into custody, but was subse-mentiy released.

'The telegram from Cincinnati stated that Org would probably call for letters at the-ppstcfllce. Our officers Informed the Postof-fice officials of the facts, and thev promised to give the necessary Information if he called.
