Herr gtocpel, ana Mad. Lovarnjr's Concert,
We extract the following notice from the Rich

"Wo hnvc seldom been more delighted by any pub

singers, at the Kxchange Concert Room on Wednes

by the most favorable, reports, the entire Northern

any performance ever comes up to our previous con
ceptions, that we went prepared for a disappointment
of a nature the opposite- of that which we actually
cxcrienccd. Wc are not) skilled in the technicali

as they w re all of such u diameter as to be under
htood nnd appreciated by any, llio least cultivated
ear, they called forth, on each fresh occasion, a burst
of heart-fell applause, Myie, Lovarny, whose voice
is obo of grcut sweetness and compass, was compell
ed, by the admirution of the audience, to repeat near
ly all the pieces In which she song.
The most wonderful port of the whole performance'
however, and one which so nearly resembles magic,
that it would hove obtained lor tne periormer, in me
dark ages, the questionable honor of being reckoned
a nrofessor of tho black art, was thnt of Herr-Sloepel
unon the Xvlo C'hordcon. This instrument, as its
name inuiorts. is nothii L' more than a number of
pieces of wood, connected at the ends by cat-gut or

which we took to be steel, and wnh wh:c i he struck
the bsrs of wood, eliciting hc most varied and ex
traordinary sounds, rancinc, in volume, Irom the
low notes of a large bell, to the highest key tone of
tho piano. Upon tins primitive insiumcni, ijerr
Stoepel contrived to execute, to the amaiemcnt and
kliuht ol tne numerce, several uimcun pieces, wnn
the most perfect execution. The rtect upon th-
audience was electrical, and when the performer had
completed the first piece, the applause was so long
and continued, tnot he was compeiiea to re-oppr.--
He did so, and struck up hrst tne "iioatman s
Dance," and then "Yankee Doodle." "
All we can do is, to ask the inasic-loving people of
our city to go and judge for themselves, as they will
give a Concert this Evening at the Moxart Hall for
which see advertisement.
FROM THE SENIOR EDITOR.
Raleigh, Feb. 14,1849.
The liberal action of the Legislature, rolative to
internal improvements, hal given animation to the
feelings of tho residents of the "beautiful city of
Oaks." There appears to be but one sentiment in
regard to the Central Road but how fai the approval
will operate on the important matter of taking stock,
remains to be seen. It is a scheme that ought to be
talked of in no other way, than as one that must suc
ceed j nor is there, at present, any strong opinion
adverse to such a result.
The notion lhat there is a "Raleigh Clique," hos
tile to the odvanccnicnt and prosperity of Wilming
ton, ought to be put to rest now and forever. There
is no such "Clique ;" on the contrary, Wilmington,
her people, her enterprise ond her public spirit, ore
universally spoken of in terms of commendation,
and under the influence of a desire to be more close
ly uni cd with our citizens In interest and in social
communion.
It is supposed that there exists a feeling of jealou
sy on account of the aid the State has afforded the
Wilmington interest, In the Wilmington and Weldon
Road, as It is now called. This is a mistake; at least
so far as any general opinion here is concerned.
There may be here and there a croaker, but n ne Of
them are competent to influence the public mind.
It is not forgotten that the Legislature of 1833, pass
ed several acts, proposing Improvements to our dt
izens, and that the people along the line of our Road
and the citizsns of Wilmington, were the only per
sons who availed themselves of the opportunity af
forded, and applied their money to the enterprise.
This, so far fr in giving a plea for withholding Leg
islative aid, is a commendation to the favor of tho
government.
The olicy of the last Legislature wss evidently
characteristic ol enterprise, soda desire pre
vailed to foster some improvement that should 0e
ralc within the borders of (he State ; tho Central
Road eminently sustains this policy. 1 do not be
lieve thai the Manchester Road was objected to,
merely because it dois not conic within this category;
but because the inipn. Yemenis had been necessarily
catried to as great an extent ns the public mind
would sanction at this time. Hut let the citizens of
tho lower action of the State, with their neighbors of
South Carolina, lay their strength to the wheel, and
"Hercules" will be at hand in senson. The govern
ment of our State will assuredly lend its aid, should
i I be needed for the light is abroad ; and the people
will soon become more unanimously in favor of In-
ternal Improvements, than on any other subject thst
could bo possibly presented to the public mind. The
evil spirit of party already quails before the risings of
this power, and fresh disciples daily proclaim their
admiration of lta beauty and its glory.
1 leirn, incidentally, that Mr. Holds has lost
some subscribers to the Standard, in consequence
of the ground he bas assumed on the subject of In
ternal Improvements. He ouht to publish their
names, that respectable Editors of all parlies msy
sec that their List of subscribers is not disgraced by
addiag hf.m o it. What do such Vandals as these
know about a Newspaper, or how it ought to be con
ducted I "Throw pearls before swine" but never
put a newspaper into the paws of auch mooncalves J cel st 11 o'clock instesd of at 11 Several smend
as theses I am pleased to learn, ss I do on the beet : ments were offered, and a long discussion ensued t
authority, that some whig friends of Inteinsl Im
provements have subscribed lo his paper. Not lhat
they expect he will be influenced to recede from the
politic il ground upon which he atands, bulaa a trib
ute due to the patriotic impulso thst disowns :he in.
fluence of mean and contempt! U demagogues, who
sacrifice every interest, and violate every principle,
human and divine, that they may get into the Leg
islature, or some public office. Too ignorant to teach
truth to the people, or too vile to love it, they operate
upon the passions of the unenlightened, snd aban
don the interest and honor of their country to pro
mote thrlr own aeldsh views. But these gentry are
getting Into a dark corner, In which they will find
themselves continually sinking Into 0m slough of eon

The gold-fever bars is not in the ascendant. It is
doubted very touch if any combination will be form
ed, (as indicated some time sgo) to make out an ex
pedition from this city. It appears that there Is a
Protocol to the Mexican Treaty, which has been call
ed for in ths House of Representatives calculated, as
rumor says, to do away with that Treaty and this,
as a correspondent of the New York Herald says,
would give a large slice, if noj the whole of the gold
region, to Macnawara, the Irish Priest, who had con
tracted with Mexico to settle a colony of good Cath
olics in California, in order to prevent the country
from being overrun by "Methodist Barbarians."
Mr. Polk will, no doubt, explain tho Protocol, and
the Correspondent's suggestions will prove a humbug
as most of them do.

A man, named G. A. Willis, near Nashville, Tenn.,
U'inir repulsed by a sister of Henry A. Rire, made a
furious attack upon her with a lurgu knlle in the pre
sence of her brother who rushed to her rescue. In
the scuffle Willis had his knife knocked from his
hand, and then Icli having received thirteen wouads
from his antagonist, almost any of which would
have proved fatal. Rice immediately afterwards gave
himself up, was tried before Justices, and acquited.
The Asthma Ccbasle. There is no dis ascmore
distressing than the Asthma, and then are but few
who sutler with it who are acquainted with the prop
er method of cure. In fact, ilia a complaint that
for a lona time baffled the skill of physicians, but
deep research, snd much study, has at hut shown
that it can now be classed as a curable disease. The
symptoms of Asthma are straightness of the chest;
languor; disinclination to motion; loss of appetite,
wind in the bowels ; weight over the eyes; nuusea ;
headache. These, or sonic of them, mark the ap
proach of the fit, which usually utlaeks its victim
about the middle of ihe same night. Then there
is a struggle for breath as if the paiunt were suffoca
ting. Asthmatic persons will find in Clickcner's
Sugar Coaled Vegetable Pills a certain remedy.
These pills will, if token in doses so as to operate
gently upon the bowels modify tho fits to which
asthmatic persons are subject ; and in time will so
tone the system as to resist them altogether.
The pills, being composed of die finer and purer
portions of curtain plants which have been long
knowq for their eminent qualities, arc sure to effect
a permanent removal of thia distrcssig disease, and
restore the suflerer to his wantid health. We make
the assertion upon the authority of several persons
of out scquaintance who havo used the pills with
the most dscldrd effect.
