No flight to Nap os wii. ad- «nce its condition. It stands alone in the uorUI perliaps without parallel in tiro nates of musical history. It is so esson- |”llv J«i generis that no comparison may he attempted even for simple illustration. Let us listen for a moment to this bril liant display of execution. Seales oc tsres sequences of thirds and sixths, leaps, tours lie force, arpeggio chords of distant extension, tremolos, trills and oilier orna ments of grace carry the hearer along in a •bower of musical eorruseations; the ear i>bedazzloil, if wc may boullowed the. fig ure by the fascinating sounds which crowd upon li. Hut look who it is who thus en trances his hearers. It ,s this poor blind boy -ugly and black—without grace of figuro or feature. Surely this savage, this goril la cannot sway our hearts by the power of'expression. Sny not so, stay a moment. Listen t*> the plaintive melody made so lumiliftr lo us in Trovatore., by that in comparable contralto, Alad. D'Angri. Hear its sud accents as wailed forth by the left hnn«l, while the right throws around itabellimenti light in texture as Mechlin luce, llis feeling is indeed in execs*, and there is sometimes a wish that it might bo moderated, that is, brought down to tho weak digestion of modern civilized appe tites and tastes. Some say Tom is an idiot. Can this bo so? His powers of imitation and memory are miraculous. But ho im provises music, arid even plays some of his own compositions. A storm-piece of his, which wo have heard, gives the best musical description of a storm, with its thunder and lightning, its howling wind and driven rain, that perhaps has ever been composed, and wo aro not unmind ful of Steiball’s Orarjc for tho piano, Neukomm’s Storms on the Lair, tor tho orjjan, Rossini's storms in // Rurbicrc and Ifm. Tell, and Jlaydr.’s rain chorus in tho Seasons, or Handel’s celebrated Hailstorm Chorus. Can this be the work of an idiot ? Is there not hero tho inventive faculty? Can the creative power exist except in tho menssana f Those aro puzzling questions to ho answerod. Wo do not attempt it. Tom’s perception of pitch, whether in musical inatrumonts, bells steam-whistles, or wherever it may bo recognized by hu man ears, is beyond tolief except by ac tual presonco at tho experiments made with him. lie never fails. Tho most complicated and dillicult chords are in stantly analyzed by him, and the notes composing them nnmed unhesitatingly. By what process of mind this is done it is impossible lo decide. Mozart had this power to a certain degree, but doubtless far less than Tom. Tom can play with his right hand a melody in one key, say B flat—another with his left in another key, say A Hat—and at tho sumo timesing a third melody in the key of (J major. It is known of but one other who approach es this, and that is Gustav 8atlor,who can, after long practice, play two parts—one in Gand the other in F. This is considered among musicians as an insuporablo diffi culty. But Tom has such command over the key-board that ho.can play with both hands with his back turned towards tho piano. Let any executant try this. Tom was aided greatly in his effects of imitation by tho varied powers o f ' the splendid Steinway grand piano. Tho wido difference between tho heavy bass rolling out it9 roaring thunder from the soft trick* lings of tho upper octaves that ho used in his imitation of tho musical box whs ob served on all sides to be surprising. For perfect effects in music there must bo a sympathy between tho porformor and his instrument , Apart from Tom’s musical genius, yet inclose affinity with trio qualities making up the ensemble of his talents is tho curi ous imitative ability displayed in his de scription of a locomotive and railroad train; this is his own, and disoovors the twcomica to enter largely into his nature. It i9 difficult to write about this lusus natunr and not incur the risk of being ac cused of hyperbola. Tom i9 a musical inonster, a gigantic genius, doing at voli- Uon what ordinary men and women spend a lifetime of labor and study in attempt- [nj. It is a singular sensation to bo Drought into contact with this boy. You ask yourself is he angel, man or animul.

Phrenology is blown to tbo winds, the scienco of music becomes a joke, tho manipulation of tho key-hoard u itnuiement, and the theory of in fori** niy of race is denied in the person of this poor blind slavo boy.

Potatoes. The following interesting and instruc tive description of potatoes and their cul ture, wo clip from tbo Journal of Com merce's correspondoi ce of a Commercial Traveler. Notwithstanding tho adapta bility of soil and climate, our Southern farmers have not given that attention lo tho cultivation of Irish potatoes which they should have done. They can ho raised to perfection here,and are certainly a remunerative crop. The writer below speaks of raising two hundred and thirty bushels per acre on “poor land.’’ We aro now pay-ing from $1 oO to $’2 per bushel. At the former figure an aero of ground would yield &31f> in potatoes. Can lAiids be made lo yield more in any thing oho? We invito attention to the facts recited in tho following extract: Returning from my Southern tour I paid a visit to an intelligent family and fntniliar^Yiend engaged in agriculture. Calling at his place of bu.-inoss in Phila delphia, tho first thing that presented it- s,elf to my sight was a number ol barrels of potatoes, while large quantities were strewn on tho floor. Both as regards „ , size and beauty (if 1 may be allowed this ! ly mustered into the service of the United term) 1 have never anything lo S ates and in consequence thereof under oqufil. Before obtaining any information ; the act of Congress ubovo alluded to wore from Mr. H., he took mo lo a platform | free, and had tho right to travel wherever scale on winch were fifty potatoes, the j tbo}* pleased without a written pass. To Another Kentucky Diclslon. Not long sin' o the Appplluto Court of Kentucky decided that the legal tender act of Congrcf-s was ancons'.iiu ional. It appear* from the following that anothor court decides another law of Congress un constitutional, Wx* learn from tho Kentucky Sentinel that Judge Apporsnn, ntthe August term of the Montgomery Circuit Court, in the suit of Henry 1\ Held against the Ken tucky Stage Company, decided the “Act of Congress approved March 8, 1865," freeing tho wives and children of negro or colored soldiers, to bo unconstitutional. The suit was brought by Mr. Held agai.i't the stage company for damages al leged to have been sustained by him bo- caus(vsaid ( stage company, ns ho alleged, had permitted six of his negroes to ride as passengers on their coach on the Lexing ton road without written authority from him, and by suid act of said company said slaves had escaped from him.* The Stage Company, wi'h other matters of defense, relied upon and plead that said negroes, were, at tho time they so traveled on said stage, tho wifo and children of nry Skinner, a colored soldier, regular eight of which reached sixty and tilled an entire bushel! These are callod the Monitor. Tney wero raised on very poor soil, without animal manure, and produced 265 bushels lo the acre. Another kind which Mr. II. showed me is called tho Goodrich, far superior to the Monitor. These come off tho ground so early as to allow making another crop— ruta baga, a Swedish turnip. On poor land 230 bushola have boon raiso i, and on rich land over 400 bushels per acre. An other kind which Mr. 11. exhibited to mo i* called the Cuzoo. On the same land 262 bushels were raised. A gentleman at Calawissa, as Mr. 11. informed me, on rich land, obtained 440 bushels. Now for the treatment. The potatoes wero all planted whole, of lurgo size- three feet equal distance, covered six inches, and cultivated entirely flat—no hilling being permitted at all. Too crop was dug by hand with digging forks. Mr. H. regards the plow us tho most wasteful implement lor harvesting potatoes. As regards expense, it cost him $12 per acre to dig, gather and store the crops named. No rot ever occurs under this system, and no failure of tho crop. As high as thirty bushels per acre of seed wero used of s »mo large kinds. In storing one pint of froshlT slacked lime in powder is mixed with each bushel of potatoes. Any tendency to de cay from cut or bruised tubers is entirely arrested. Mr. 11. plows and subsoils deeply*in the fall,-nnu if the land is poor manures on tho surfaco and harrows in. In tho spring subsoils, harrows, rolls and marks out for corn. At tho intersection of tho furrows Mr. II.* opens six inches deep with tho hoe, drops a whole potnton, upon which ho applies a handful (fifty bushels por acre) of mineral compost of wood ashes, plaster, shell lime, hone dust, (or supor phosphate), arid a little salt. Covers and rolls. Thiee times hoes in each direction, and three times hand hoes. By this method Mr. II, claims— 1st, That there is no failure of the crop. 2cl. No rot of sound varieties. 3d. Tho largest yield the soil is capablo of. 4th. Tho largest proportion of largo marketable potuloe. 5th. No degeneracy of varieties,* but constant improvement. O h. No necessity for rotation of crops, as tho potatoo can bo grown indefinitely, on the same soil, with constantly increas ing results. 7th. Tho groatest economy of eulturo and harvesting. Twonty-ono varieties wero grown by Air. II. this year, of which the early Goodrich and the Harrison (not a seeding of his) ho esteemed far superior to any other ho has ever raised, and next to tho Cuzco. Air. H. plants the largest and finest ho can got, and never allows a cut one to bo put in tho ground. It is note worthy that his small potatoes average one-lenth loss than this crop. Mr. H. raised on 47*100 of an aero 400 baskets of tomatoes (three equal to two bushels) which is oqual to 1010 baskets or 690 bushels por acre. They were raised on tho same soil, manured with one shovolful of barn compost iri the hill at tho time of planting. Mr. I!, was once a land surveyor and civil engineer, and - his measures can be taken as authentic. T E It M a OF THE DAILY ENQUIRER.

Women and children are not held to owo military service to the Government, and freedom could not there* fore bo conferred on them for any merito rious or sufficient consideration moving from them, it is admitted by tho defen dants, sub silentio, that these persons claimed by plaintiff, wore onco his slavos, and whether slavery be considered a con dition or a mere relation, Congress could not change it in regard to these "dry" pa triots any more than it could break tho bonds of apprenticeship of a white sol dier’s wife or child. It could not absolve tho soldier himself from such bond—but could hold it in abayance only until tho first and highost service claimed and held by tbo Government was rendered. Thu act is therefore deemed to bo unconslitu- liorml and void.” We are informed that tho defendant, excepted to this judgment by their attor neys, and intend to take tho case to tho higher courts—first to tho Appellate Court cl Kentucky, and if not successful there, lo theSupreme Court of tho United States.

Mr. lihott finally got an nudienco with the President, and with assumptions ol groat importance proffered his advice to Mr. Johnson as to tho policy that should bo pursued towArd the South, etc. Mr. lihott then visited tho F rood men's Bureau and stated to Gen.

Not for themselves alone, but also for tho true and Bisting interests of the colored man, have tho sagacious men of that organiza tion in Indiana, Ohio, New York and Pennsylvania placed themselves at his side, and prepared the way for groat tri umphs at the polls.

Ilur- lot, an American Missionary in Asia, who has been making investigations in the re* gions passed over by the Israelites in their exodus from Egypt, describes tho discov ery of a*cloft ruck in tho vicinity of Mt. Horob: Tho direction of the spring was straight across the valley . from tho camping ground. After leaving the tents, in about two minutes I ascended the ground where we made tho circuit, then passed down a slight declivity, alter which the ground gradually rose until 1 reached the spring, in about ten minutes, by a rugged path, over large boulders of Sinate granite.— Here 1 was surprised to find a liuo spring of pure water issuing from a rent in the rock; the ront was in an oblique direction, tho highest part of it on tho loft, and sloping down toward the right. The low est part ot the flssuro was high as a man’s head from tho ground. Tho surrounding rock is tho solid rod granite of Sinai, smooth on its face and unbroken by fis- suro or seam. Tho fissure is about six loot long, about four inches wido, live inches deep a 1 , tho bottom and Iwolvo at the top, and runs down into tho rock parallel with the perpendicular side of tho mountain; tlio water seems to issue about two feet above the bottom of tho ront, flowingovor tho lowest part of it in a stream about tho thickness of a man’s finger. Tho reser voir i* about twelvo foot long by live foot in width, and lour feet deep, and was nearly full when I reached tho piano.— When full, the water is lotofl* to irrigate twenty odd fruit trees. As l was tho first (so far as I am aware) to observe this sin gular “rent” in tho “Hock of lloreb,’’ und am unable to find any allusion to it in the books of Burckhardt, Hobinson, Stanley, or other travelers, 1 have thought it my duty to inform tho public of tho fact, in order that future travelers may not fail to see it.
