Sunday Morn/nj:, June 6. 1868. TU? Bo?tOMl*tl?i4nd Tlirlr .Hou*ter Con? cert-A Glane? at it* Proportions. The "ofaciol programma" for the "Great National Peace Jubilee," at Ben? ton, during the third week of June, bursts upon u -, despite its advertising avant'Courriei's and preliminary proces? sion of Acheralding bravuras, with daz? zling splendor. The Nc*' Tork Time* says of it: Regarded askance, at first, by the sober and solid men of Boston, sneer >gly slighted as merely another adver? sing dodge of the artful but illustrious j [Inaoto, its artistic excellence, patriotio j rpose, popular favor, aud mercantile raiitages, so combined, ut length to tarni hostile criticism, tu?t ircai.fefi?Mfc( [sort of "monster concert,'' ii?der?aSBu; tuc Jullieu of Boston as a fatter of! te\and pecuniary speenj^f?cu, it has io. bo regarded ns o^rond emblem-1 ?gleomo of peacefaud lias swelled irtious of a national fest or lt is patronized by the Pre-, jierihtended by Mayor Shurfe- j the Boston ei'.y government, and ; iL'V jthe subscriptions of mer- i lusicians-in short, it is a | iccess. died the originator of this fe Jullieu of America ; and announcements and arrange-1 '?.nts justify tho title-he himself, with j /'charming JullieinVic admixture ofi / modesty and assertion, simply describes ; Limself thus: "Projector, "Mr. P. S. j Gilmore." But bis magnificent appoint- j cionts, bis superb choruses, bis mighty orchestras, bis anvils, his drums, bands, bells and batteries, dwarf Jullien's grandest conceptions, throw all memory ! cf Jullien's immaculate kids and broad cxpanso of spotless shirt bosom into deep eclipse, and make this Otsa of or? chestral loaders but a wart. Evcrytkiug is grandiose in this festi? val. The building itself is "au immense coliseum," capable of holdiug 50,000 persons. The expanse of preparation is announced to have been, a:ul really had been, "extraordinary." The "oratorio chorus" comprises no less thau S'JO choice-we bad almost said "voices," in our enthusiasm, bat check ourselves in season to put it the way the programme cloes-"SOO vocal organizations." The grand orchestra is ci 1,000 musicians, picked from tho be.-.t bands and musical ?^.'cietics in the country. Indeed, every? thing is done in round numbers. The ? very anvils for tho "anvil chorus" are ' 100 strong, and 103 stout fellows are Lired to hammer them; and the 100 an? vil-players are chosen, by a stroke of genius Jullieu himself might envy, from tas Boston Ure laddies. And while the anvils clang, 1,000 musicians chime in with full force of wiud and string, a battery of artillerv roars for the bass, a chime o: great beds softens tho crash of the gun:?, and the chorus of 600 voices lises harmonious over all. bo, too, when the jip ??lee opens with Luther's majestic "2?tV Fist Burg" the largest nrrj-iu attainable accompanies. If it be a "select orchestra." that performs thc overture t<: tsTannhr?t$er,u yet this "select" body is GOO strong. No voice Lut Parepa-Rosa's could bo thought of in such an auditorium for tho soprano, " none but Puillipp3' for the contralto; but wheTi*^? former sings the ".fire Marin," from Goi??di "the introductory viuliu obligate, usually rendered by one per? former." s played by 200. So, in tho overture *? "F'rn Diacclo," fifty truni } fifers esst? ''trumpet solo" part; in ti-:it to ??pei adella, *' a reed band of 500 perfoi*??* When the "Star Spangled liauusi" is given, ali thc terrifie, business ci the anvil chorus is again done; and when "My Country tis cf Thee" is sung, everything goes ch" at once-cho? ra^, orchestra, organ, bands, every drum r_',r beating, every bull ringing, ever}1 musician blowing, the infantry ufl firing, and the "cannon pealing in the distance i:. exact time with the music." All this goes on for five days, with a performance each day whereof these are Lut faint indications. The very bass drum is eight feet in dinmeter, and it is siid that O'Baldwin, the illustrious prize? fighter, hus consented to serve with the drum-sticks;and though by instinct a man cf war, to join in thc cry, "Lot us have I euee"-ho will probably make it a point ci professional pride to burat the skins, cr, nt all events, to give them "what Paddy gave tho drum." We cannot doubt, in iiuo, that this will prove in? deed "a feast o? .sublimo and inspiring harmony," as per advertisement; nor, cn the other hand, can we doubt that, when the iii'th day closes, and all has been s:.id nud sung, that the audieuce will breathe, even more fervently than at the beginning, "Let us havo peace." There would, doubtless, be a great in? da:: of visitor- from thc South, provided tho railroad companies would reduee their rates. TLink ci ir, gentlemen; there is sufficient time yat to let the mat? ter be known. A FITTIXO REBVKS.- the Logans and Sickle.5-;* are well rebuked in a letter .written by Chic* Justice Chase in re? sponse to ;sn invitation from Charleston, S. C., to attend the ceremony of deco? rating the graves of Union soldiers at Mugnolia Cemetery. He writes: "May we not indulge the hope that ere long v.i -*!.o adhered to the national cause will bo fcqmpt also to join in commemo ratiug thoTNj^oism of our countrymen who fell on uSuothor side, and that thoie who now st^*ally_JB^{B_their loss, consenting^ to ti/*, av ai?, and resum?.ig all their the v c mutry, ono and indivis? join with us ir. like commemorate' thu fallon brave ci the army cf Cition " ti Alliance. ka ago a London special to tho New York Tribune elect lined the country bj anuounoing the formation of an alliance, offensive and defensive, of France, England and Spain, to resist the encroachments of 'the United States. The report has been much discussed on this side of the water, and generally dis? credited. In tho Tribun-;, of Thursday, I we find a letter from the samo corres? pondent, in which the matter is referred to more in detail, as follows: LOXDOX, May 13.-The fact which at ! this moment dwarfs all other facts is the I beginning of negotiations for an alli-1 j ance, offensive and defensive, between England, Franco and Spain, against the . ! United States. This I telegraphed to ' vou two days ago. It is still a secret in j Loudon. I shall say nothing ci the j ^sources cf my information, nor can I add much to tho original statement. 1' do not know who set this project on foot; : whether it was started lu England or France; whether conceived in the brain of a usurper, responsible already fer so ! many mischiefs, or by some British tool of his, who fancies he has inherited the : mantle of Palmerston, and can add au- \ other link to the many the old Premier i forged in the chain which binds England to Napoleon. But it seems to have sprung up suddenly. It was hatched i y the heat of English passion glowing red hot against A.:perlca these last fourteen days. Of course it grew out of tho Ala? bama. It matters little whether au English minister, alarmed hythe sudden fear of meeting just demands, turned for refuge to the old enemy cf England; or I whether Napoleon, in his aler: way, vo? lunteered tho suggestion of a nev alli- | ance. It is thc fashion just nov.-in Eu? ropean circles to resent what is cai led the diplomatic arrogance of America. Napoleon nurses his anger over the ex? pulsion from Mexico. Spain trembles for Cuba. England sees her future darkened by. the shadow tLnt has hung ! over her and paralyzed her ever since the American war ended. Lulled to sleep '? by Mr. Reverdy Johnson, sue hts been j rudely awakene'd by Mr. Sumner. Sue . dreads to lose Canada and her West India possessions. More than.one public mau : na? expressed his regret that England 1 rejected the offer of Napoleon to recog? nize the. Confederacy. They think it: still possible to retrieve, at least partly, , that mistake. France has possessions also in danger if Canad;', falls to the re? public. Thure is St. Piene, hardly ten miles irom the British coast, a nursery . of French seamen,"a pet colony, for one instance. So many considerations agree in recommending snch au alliance that I need not show why the theory hs proba? ble. I have only to say that the account J of the negotiations came to me in a way which seemed eo credible that I was net at liberty to keep silence. I cannot tell how far they havo gone, still less whe I thor they will oven result in a secret I j treaty. But I believe they are in pro j gross, and that if the Alabama claims j were to take the shape of a demand or a I menace, the resistance ot" England;, which 1 i has become certain, is likely :o bo sup- j ported by France. Whether a crisis ! would be precipitated by intervention in Cuba may be a more doubtful point. It is known here that tho Spanish Govern? ment feel themselves strong enough to repel aggression in that quarter. They I havo one, or it may be two, irou-clnds, J built in England, equal to the best ships ! afloat iu European waters, and able to ?sink a fleet of monitors, with their ! shingled sides of soft iron and their j rickety turrets. Probably our naval of fleers know well enough what the fact is. --. ? I The Now York papers contain the j proceedings of tho Old and New Sch ol Presbyterian Churches lately represented by their General Assemblies in that city. There is a decided tendency hi both these toward a re-union. There are also indications that these two Northern mem? bers of tho Presbyterian family would not object to admitting their sister of the South. The General Assembly of the Southern Church ha? lately held its meetings in Mobile. The proceedings were not of a nature to attract public at? tention or to get generally reported in the newspapers, but we understand that matters of grave importance were consi? dered. Some say that au important change in the form of church govern? ment is desired by many influential members of tho Assembly, aud it is pos? sible that some modifications may be made which will tend to delay a union with the churches of the North. Tho lower House of the Rhode Island Legislature refuses to oct on the fifteenth amendment at present, and defers the mattor until January. The trouble is this, says tho World: Under tho consti? tution of Rhode Island, no person can vote there "unless he holds real estate the assessed value of which shall be I 3131 over and above all inenmbrances i and lions upon it." This excludes thou I sands of mechanics, clerks, artizan s and j laborers from tho privilege of voting. The passago of the fifteenth amendment ! removes this restriction, and will give ; this large class the right to vote. Tho i Republicans lear that this will give tho ? State to tho Democracy, and, although they aro anxious that the ignorant blacks of the South shall bo allowed to vote, aro unwilling to surrender their power in Rhodo Island to accomplish that ob? ject. meeting of the surviving officers of he First jt?r?ta<l^ of South Carolina Reg ilanj was held in Ghafte&lou ou Friday pfc, at which it was resolved to erect a gionument to the memory of their de vii officers and mer. New York World nct& of tbe Memphis au GoSeroiai Convention hi [/UfiJ^lntion strongly in th the Southern i'aoi?c lix connection, it learns that have been made to pu? building cf the Memphis Parino Railroad during th! present sum? mer, in the anticipation'of aid from Congress at tbe coming session. En? gineering parties have been placed.in tate ii dd along the line of the road, and a strong force of laborers collected for tho grading at various points. The company hhs decided to use heavy iron and powerful engines, in order that the J highest rates of speed, with safety and regularity, can be obtained, so ?3 to place Norfolk, Va., and San Diego Ave days apart. The iron for the section o: 150 milts from Jefferson end Westward i be chipped from Dunkirk and? Ant rp during the months of June, July I August, and it is expected that 100 es in Texas will be finished within nest ?is mouths. 1 RELICS cr err 1)Z\D IS VxncttsiA. Geberai T. M.

Vol. FATAL Arran; IN XortTH CAROLINA. A special despatch from GohUboro to :i:c Richmond Dispatch says: Late advices from Jones County bring fearful accounts of the state of things in ti.:.: section. Gu Saturday last, Mr. O.. R. Colgrove, the Sheriff of Jones, while on his way from his residence to the town of Trenton, about three miles off, was fired upon l>y persons concealed in the bushes by the road-side, and was in? stantly killed. The Sheriff's negro ser? vant, who was mounted ou a mule, be? hind the carriage, also received a mortal J wound, and is since dead. The radicals say that Colgrove was a political martyr, and the negro militia, fully armed, ure now scouring the coun? try, threatening murder, burning houses ami devastating generally, under tho orders of one Wilkie, a member of the Legislature, and a great Holden man. His instructions to the militia are to "shoot every suspicious character they meet,'' and he threatens to lay the Oeunty waste, according to Butler's programme, if tho murderers are not speedily brought to justice. Gi course no good citizen justifies the assassination, but on the contrary, it is generally condemned, although the de? ceased Sheriff was a mau of notorious? ly bad habits, having been guilty of various crimes, and in his capacity as an officer, acting entirely independent of the law. His own party acknowledge that he had no reason to expect a better fate, as he had made himself so obnox? ious to the community. A terrible state of affairs is reported as existing in Jones. Tho Govornor has offered a large reward for tho murderer, and the negro militia have made several arrests, but of parties who, from their distance from tho scene, could not hive been in any way implicated in tho out Tnr.
