CONCERT. i The concert for the benefit of the a Presbyterian Church canio off on last a Tuesday evening, and was a complete " and brilliant success. Our citizens ? shewed their appreciation of the efforts j1 of the managers and actors to provide an elegant entertainment, and assist a good cause, by filling ihe Mall. The Jl music, instrumental and vocal was very ^ fine; the tableaux were prcity and taste- ' ful. But the most successful part of 0 performance was the "band of comic i . ? ._i.? i liuusircis. nnu ui'ii^iiiiu "iiu iiinu.-v.u the audience by tlicir excellent inu>ic, laughable appearance and funny j??k*s The orchestra, composed of young aina- f tear musicians of our town, performed with great credit to themselves. AItti gether the concert well repaid us fin s attending, as we do no' often have the | opportunity of spending such a pleasant j evening. The lateness of the hour prevent us from giving a more detailed account.? We will thank some of our liiends, who - ii wield an abler pen than ours, for a full criticism in time for our next issue. * . f STOLEN PROPERTY. c Some weeks ago it was stated by 1 Washington letter writers, that three ? boxes "captured" by Slier man's hcioes during their inarch tlimuuh ihis State, had been opened at the War De 1 pnrtuicnt, atid that tliry contained a ? large amount of silver plate, and other articles of value. The following, which we clip from Charleston News, throws additional light on the subject: "It is now positively stated by a cor- 1 respondent of the Cincinnati Cummer- a cial that the three boxes of treasure recently brought forth from the vaults ul t the War Department at Washington, 0 are the property of citizens of Camden, South Carolina. The specie behniuing r to the Catmlen b ink, and the jewelry and plate of the citizens, arc said to n have been dej'ositid in the bank sifts, / which wire captured imt far from the Catawba River. As the captors, nut to give them a harsher name, C"u!d not agree upon a division of the booty, ihoy turned it ov?r to the l'rovost Marshal, . which officer, by order of Ccneral iSher* man, sent it on to Washington, where 1 it lay in the War Dopaitmcut vaults ^ uutil a few weeks ago. The citizens of Camden will know J1 whether the account given in the Com- . inerciul, of the way in which the property was captured, is generally correct s There is no donbt that the boxes rcler- * red to do con ain a large quantity ol ' valuables of different kinds; and our * friends in Camden will do well to come together and take prompt measures for 1 the reclamation of their stolen goods. * ?? prt-if-nnlw ,i fill mn nr li iinlof ' J llt'ic Iff PW.VVIJ ?

Restitution may be made once in n ' thousand times, ami it is worth while . to try whether tho United States Gov- 1 eminent considers South Carolina far '' enough in the Union to entitle her citizens to a restoration of the property ^ pilfered by the Federal troops. If it ' belonged to the negroes, there would be 1 no doubt of t.ic re.-ult. As it belongs h to Southern white men, red tape will r coil itself around the claim, and the I owners nuty expect to encounter all the 1 annoyances uf official impertinence and official p'rocrastiuation. We may be mistaken. President t Grant may bc^ willing to oruer ine nn ? mediate restoration of what Mr. Went- t mick would call "our portable property." If so, our people will give Grant his due."
