We publish with pleasure the tallowing Communication in relation to the late cantata at the Peace Institute: Raleigh, Dec. 7th. Mews. EdUors of the News; I received in '-the distribution of th mail yesterday evening thti followinu note, under dte of .Di-ctniber the 5 li written in a delicate hand and deli ciously perfumed: "It Mecklenburg would write an article on the Cantata last Friday niht at Peace Institute, and publish it in the News, he would very niu.h oblige many triendaand alm!ivi8auurir the . Ladies op Raleigh.'1 ' I am almost convinced it i3 all a hoax that it didn't emanate Iron) any ladies or lady at all, but trom some masculine genius with a dangerous talent, if not propensity,1 for forgery. But I shall nevertheless (with your indulgence and CO-operation) treat the request aa a flattering verity. I am not quite jissured that it is not, and my rule of service to the opposite sex is like that of the law which holds that it is better that ninety-nine eu'Ity persons escape than one should suffer innocently. Applying the principle more deservedly, it is surely better that countless numbeis of joking masculine 'jail birds" should be unworthily in dulged than one woman not to speak ot "many" should in anything or in anywise be disobliged. I must needs divappoint my lair cor respondents though, do wnat I will. They have doubtless mistaken me (if this note is genuine) for a musical critic. But I am anything else. I love music love it passionately without in the least knowing why. As to torit ten music, that is, and w ill ever remain, an inexplicable mystery to me how any body on earth can read it. The notes and longitudinal bars suggest to me no utlie. association or similitude than that of a five rail fence with very black little "niggers"' climbing it at all stages of getting over. With this trank preface, I proceed to pronounce summary judgment upon the "Cantata." AH the parts, aud all the persons singing them, delighted me, and in my unlearned opinion reflected inlin ite credit upon the pupilage and pre ceptorn of fhe( mu.-ical d p u tinent of Peace Institute. As to u . n ,s;hei :art, the viioIl and m- voicv h;vvv haunted me ever sii.c- Ir. lurtn-r praising her and no ne ti.Nt-, jiarueul .i y, I must not be understtx; ! iiiVidi)Ul. but only as conforming to ttio u -ayt- ami etiquetteot al. courts roy.d to piaisi only Majesty" m the restnve t .M..jsty, or where It is concerned.. Ami the Queen"in this case,I am quite sure, will take toe praise like -Maiesty, and nut et it turn her pretty head except m a more literal senc- somen m- wheu we chance to meet in the direcuon ot one of her most loyal and devoted sub lets. I would I couM dvscrtbe, f.r such readers ol the News as were not at the Cantata, her appearance on that cc sion But.Icoultl us easiiy write an immortal poem. "I must be let off with the easy old comprehension of dtsciip tion in such cases, that she "looked every inch a Queen." But her s'ng ing her voice! Ah, loi that I liny. not evei any easy old formula of empty words to escape in. Yet I can scarcely say uiore 61 it, iu my ignorance, than that it was a wonderful soprano. I be lieve that is what they call it. At any rate, , " . It was like the warbling of a bird, bo sof , so nweet, so delicately clear ! A voice of mel ing tenderness, ideh b.'ent With pure and geu.le musings till the soul. Commingling with the melody, was borne. Kapt and dissolved lnecs.uey, to Heaven. ' But Esther ! mock queen of ancient Persia, and queen most real ol to day in all that makes a queen better than her hand-maidens, wotild'st know the moral of so rare a gift? An, it please you, my liege, even I will suggest jt jt is to use and not misuse it, and to be gratefully happy in it as Heaven which gave it may direct and shape your lot. Like beauty it is a dangerous gift, and especially so when it is com oined with beauty and ambition. T know not if you have the last, but if you have, fair lady fair girl take it not amiss that I, almost a stranger,- should presume to charge you to put it utterly aside, and never be tempted to take it to your heart and counsel at-ain. You may have seen in print (as I have of late) other and higher, because more competent, praise ot your voice than this of mine, and it may have suggested to you a glorious public career. The opinion expressed that you might make yourself the per of any who have en- joyed or now enjoy lame aud triumph on the Lyric stae, might or might not be fulfilled. But in either : case, if I have not read the history and the secret soul of your sex altogether wrong, you would equally find at the end of a;l the. saddest failure of all, in the conviction, too late, that you had mistaken your true mission and missed your own trne happiness in this world.
