THE CONCERT TO-NIOHT.-We publish,
with pleasure, the following communica?
tion with reference to the concert, this
evening, for the purpose of assisting in thc
erection of the Washington Street Metho?
dist Church. Visitors to the concert arc
requested to enter by the sith- gate:
MESSRS. EDITORS: It is gratifying to
?ee once more voluntary and unpaid efforts
made to repair some of the wastes of war
and sacrilege. It is a cheering sign of re?
turning moral health, and evidence of a
sounder tone of the public confidence. The
last fifteen months have seemed an age .
a dark age-of ruin and paralysis. We
sat nerveless amid our desolation, imbibing
and cherishing impressions of horror, until
we became ourselves counterparts of thc
ruins over which we brooded. Not alone
have the hands of men seem palsied,
bnt in many cases their hearts petretied.
The delicate and tender sensibility which
so long and so conspicuously characterized
our community, was, in a great measure,
lost or blunted by hard, material cares.
Bnt we begin to note a change for the
better, affluence no longer looks coldly
upon destitution. Misfortune no longer
excludes its victims from the regards and
sympathies of their fellow-men. Those re?
gards and sympathies are gradually reco?
vering their hold upon our hearts, and one
of tho saddest consequences of the result of
the war-the loss of fraternal feelings and
ueigbborly kindness -is rapidly passing
away, and will be remembered* no moro
forever.
Imperative as is thc duty ol loving our
neighbors as ourselves, more sacred and
binding still is that of loving om Got! with
all the mind, all thc soul and all the
strength. Any effort to repair the waste
places of Zion should commend itself to
our hearts with special force. How sad it
is that ruins should occupy the spots
where rose the holy temples of the Most
High, and that His flocks should continue
to wander without shelter and shepherds!
This evening something will be attempt?
ed in behalf of the Washington Strict
Methodist Church. A concert will be given
hy competent and distinguished perform?
ers and vocalists, lt will he composed of
?elections of the best music, popular bal?
lads, duos, trios, quartos, airs from operas,
and a few instrumental pieces, lu a notice
of this sort, we cannot venture to mention
the names of those who so generously give
their services and talents in aid ?f the
church. We may say. in general terms,
that the very best array of musical skill
and vocal excellence will ne presented, und,
without particularizing further, that the
voice, of one will be heard who reigns, and
long has reigned, a queen of song in our
midst, distinguished no less for tho sweet?
ness, delicacy, power and cultivation of
her voice, than for her control ovei its
highest and lowest notes, and for thc
grace, charm, and geniality of her man?
ners.
We trust that a full attendance and
large receipts will testify to the public ap?
preciation of thu cause'to which the pro.
ceeds of this concert will bo given.
We will dose with one suggestion to the
performers themselves. Sing us some of
the. songs of Zion. p.

The oldest church now existing in
this country is situated near Smith?
field, Isle of Wight County, Va. It
was built in the reign of Charles I.,
between the years 1630 and 1C35. The
brick and lime and timber were
imported f- >m England. The tim?
ber is English oak, and was framed
in England. The structure is of
brick, erected in tho most .substantial
manne:'. The mo tar has become so

A telegraphic despatch to.thoPhila
I delphia Ledger, from Washington on
j thc 8th, gives the following infor?
mation :
Quite a number of Virginians from
the Northern portion of the Shite,
who have been summoned us jurors
for Hie Circuit Court of the United
States, nt Norfolk, passed through
the city .yesterday. They ure all men
who have been noted for their adhe?

The reconstruction debate in the
House, notwithstanding the fine
weather, has attracted but few listen?
ers, and the speeches of Messrs.
Stevens. Blaine and others were de?
livered, so far as- the galleries were
concerned, to "a beggarly account, of
empty boxes." Scar _dy a measure
ol* the season has been discussed in
w4iicb there was so little interest
manifested, and the friends of the
"amendment" have quite lost heart
in consequence, indeed, 1 see more
reason than ever to reiterate what 1
telegraphed y on last week, that it will
be utterly impossible for tho pro?
posed plan to make any headway in
either Congressional or public favor
without a thorough ?iud essential
change in the programme.
The preachers of the Methodist
Protestant Church, whose General
Conference has been in session at
Georgetown for several days, paid a
visit to the President, to-day, ina
body.
The orator of thc occasion, a ven?
erable and impressive man of Cod,
gave the President assurance of the
continence they had in him, in his
laudable efforts to restore the Union,
and bring back the entire country to
peace und happiness.
The President was assured that thc
prayers of the clergy and congrega?
tions of the Church they representen
would be freely offered up in his be?
half, and for the success in his patri?
otic and praiseworthy purpose.
The President cordially thanked
the Conference for the generous ex
I pression of their confidence in hit
; official acts, remarking he would cou
i tinue to merit it and their prayers.
I by a determination to restore, as fai
\ as he could influence results, peace

Thc Attempted AMawlnRtion of iii?
Emperor of Rusai?.
The news by the China brings the
foll<Hviug interesting account of the
attempt to assassinate the Emperor
of Russia, it is from the Invalide
Russe:
Yesterday; tho 16th, whilo the
Emperor'was walking in tho Slimmer
Garden, a crowd assembled at the
gate to seo his Majesty enter his car?
riage. Among those people, -who
wore animated with feelings of devo?
tion and love towards tho monarch,
whose name is never mentioned by
anyone except with expressions of
respect and gratitude, there was a
miscreant meditating an attempt upon
tho. most valuable lifo in Russia.
Thank Heaven, the criminal design
\\as not realized, and tho pages of
Russian history remain unstained by
a sanguinary deed of unprecedented
atrocity. The chroniclers of our time
have boen spared tho distressing duty
ol" handing down to posterity tho tale
of a nefarious act hitherto unknown
to the annals of the Russian people.
The life of him whose rule, at this
moment, is so indispensable to Rus
sia, has been providentially preserved.
At tho moment when the crimi..al
design, long matured in tho miscre?
ant's head, was about to be carried
out. Providence, taking pity upon
Russia, mailt; a simple peasant, Ossip
lvanovitch Koniniissaroff, tho instru?
ment of its will. Ossip (Joseph)
Kommissaroff, a young man of twen?
ty-five, was born in the village of
Molvitino, Province of Kostroma.
The village belongs to liaron K?ster,
to whom Kommissaroff stands in tho
relation of a liberated annuity-paying
serf. Having been lately allowed to
go to St. Petersburg ami work in a
halter's shop, le- soon ros !?: his
calling, became foreman, and tarried
a peasant girl, 1>;. whom In- has a
little daughter eight mont lis old. lb
was still foreman at Mr. SadolVs, tin
hatter, when fate el ian ire 1 his desti?
ny, and in an instant altered his en?
tire career. The 16th being his birth?
day, he went to say his prayers in th?
chapel near the house of Peter th?
(?reat. Coming to tim river side
close to tho marble palace, he per
ceived that the bridge was removed
and the passage temporarily inter
rupted. Retracing his steps, ho thei
made his way to the Summer ( larden
at the gate of which a crowd was as
scmbling round au Imperial <-?nii
page. Knowing the carriage to Ix
the Emperor's, and longing for th?
happiness of beholding his Majesty
lui joined tho crowd waiting for th?
monarch's arrival. Presently thor?
was a stir and animation in the crowd
and he saw his Majesty in an over
coat. His Majesty approached iii
carriage, and was putting on Iii
. cloak, when a young man, w ho ha<
been standing behind KODJ mi-.taro fl
tried to push him aside. This indi
dividual had repeatedly attempted t
penetrate through the surroimdin;
j crowd and get m arer the earriagi
but Kommissaroff, wishing to see th
Emperor, would not suffer him t
squeeze through and plant himsel
before him. At the moment who
tho Emperor was putting ?MI his eloali
tb*1; individual, pushing Kommissar?)
aside, made his way to the iron
ranks of the multitude. Kemmiss:
rofl" followed him closely. Heidi
; had the assassin got near the fhnpi
mr. winn, drawing a pistol fro]
underneath his overcoat, he leveled
at the Emperor. Kommissai'off. wh
had noticed this movement, instant]
caught him by the arm. and. diver
ing thc pistol from its aim, caused
to discharge in the air. In anotlu
i moment, the assassin was arreste?
land Kommissaroff, a prey to a thot
j sand anxieties, lost in the surgin
I crowd. Thus was the valnal le life?
! his Majesty tin- Emperor saved. H
! Imperial Majestv at once drove1.? t!
I Cathedral of th?: Holy Mother of Oe
I of Kasan. Then- he alighted to than
j his Maker, who. through tho agem
of so humble an instrument, lia
i (.liveried the assassin's hand from h
royal person. The news of the nm
derons at tempt rapidly spread throne
thc town. At first, no one won!
credit the report. The like of ii lui
never occurred in Russian histor;
and people WOllld Hot believe t!
current rumor. But soon ali doub
were dispel], d. The members ?>1 t!
i Council of State, who bad just ht .
holding a sitting in the Winter I*
lace, won- the first to express t.- li
.Maj. sty the feelings of horror ai
joy occasioned by this overpower!]
event. At 7 o'clock, all general
officers and other persons havit
access at Court, assembled in tl
Winter Palace. lu all thisassembl
there was no one capable of accoiii
ing for the 1 reacher?MIS deed, or at :
acquainted with thc person ?iud eli
raider of the criminal. W hen 1
Majesty condescended to make I
appearance among the gentlemen w
j wer?- waiting to pay him their i
spects, he was greeted with tu?
I scribable enthusiasm. His Majest
1 having addressed them in a few iri
I oions words, wished to sen Komm
saroll'. The eyes of all were intent
directed towards the young man. I
is i>f middle si/.c and common
appearance. The Emperor, havi
I expressed his monarehial feel i nj
i condescended to signify to tin- you
man that he had raised him to t
' rank and 'dignity of ;. noblem;
.Many and l'uni wi re the hurrahs tl
; resounded through thc ball upon tl
announcement of imperial favi
After this, J.H present repaired to t
. Preobrasheuski Cathedral to atte
! divine service, and return their hea
! felt thanks to the Almighty for 1
pres ovation of thc beloved Czar. In
thc t "vening, the town was illuminated.
An immense concourse of people
thronged round the palace. All were
delighted to learn that dod had pre?
served the life of their liberator, the
life of him whose rule and wisdom
are so indispensably required for de?
veloping the new principles of our
civil administration, consolidating tho
integrity of the Empire, and securing
a felicitous future to our race. Hence?
forth, tho name of Kommissaroff will
bc one familiar to all Russians. From
generation to generation, it will be
handed down to the latest posterity.
The Russian nobility abounds in
illustrious families, who have do
served well of their country. Their
number has now been increased by
ono whose founder - himself emanci?
pated by Alexander II preserved for
tho benefit of all Russia thc lifo of
his liberator.
CONGRESS WAHNEU.- The Constitu?
tional Union, published at Washing?
ton, in its issue of Wednesday con?
tains an n?tido on Congressional ac?
tion in the following words:
"These men had better beware;
they are not a legal Congress, but an
unconditional body of usurpers. The
country feels that the one great error
nf the President was ia his ever
recognizing them at all. lu their
self-imposed rump condition, they
liad no claim for recognition as au
official boily from an honest man. or
any other branch of Government.
We doubt whether the Supreme
Court will ever ailinn any of their
acts to be valid. This thing of
Congressional fanaticism and treason
ought to be ?lone away with. The
American Congress now is the fac?
simile, of that rump Parliament which I
stunk in the nostrils of all go >d men. ?
and whiei, Cromwell kicked <>ut of'
doors, and sen ed them just right. A |
little Cromwellian [duck is just the
thurn needed now. and there art'
.j.on,i.on;) Democrats at the North
who would face that kind of pluck S
with a good tleal of relish just now. I
Tin- issue should be joined at once." ;
R\i? ATMOSPHERE. A New York
man. who had not been out nf the I
city f ir many years, fainted away in
thc pure air of the country. He was
only resuseitab I by putting a dead
fish on his nose, when he slowly re?
vived, exclaiming. "That's good-it
smells like home."'
Wi ndell Phillips, in his speech be- !
fore the Anti-Slavery Society in New.
York, the other day, said: ""If Jeff.
Da vi-- co uki have 1 ?cen hung, he would ]
have passed into history as a senti?
ment perhaps, like ( Miarles ?1. as a 1
power: but the time for haugiug him
was passed." j
