A Sad Mistake. —Two years ago, a

The money which h<* pa-sed was a five dob j

taken b_v the person receiving it to the Suf
folk for deposit. The teller ol the Suffolk
pronounced it counterfeit, anti wrote‘coun

the bill counterfeit, and the teller's stamp
went for evideuce. About a month ago.
the bill which had been safely kei t in the
District Attorney’s office, by accident fell
into the hands of the former cashier of the
hank, when he immedwoly prmmuoced it
genuine. Whereupon the young English
man was set at liberty; after a confinement
in the .States prison of nearly two years.—
The question now is, who ought to pay the
damages, the State or the Suffolk Bank?

Dear Major, —Time flies swiftly by
while we roam in this world <-f mixtures.—
It -eems but yesterday when we were all to
gether in a social hand, singing Psalrns and
praises to the Amighty King; and vet an
other twelve months have passed away,
since that time. I have not been idle du
ring this interval, hut have been engaged
in a different cause ; yet my heart 19 with
you, my prayers for your success in that
glorious cause in which so many have en
gaged.
“Music hath charms,” and he that hath
tasted its sweetness cannot forget the flow
er. Once I enjoyed the blessing, and that
blessing 1 cannot forget; hull have strayed
off and left you for a season, and must stav
yet another season, but I hope to meet yon
bye and bye—if not in this world—in that
world above, where sin and sorrow reigneth
not, hut peare and love abounded) ever
more. There ive will 9iug praises to God
in tbe Highest.
I meet with some of the boys now and
then, and feel that all is not dull with me
yet, for when we meet, we sing like we did
in days of yore. Yes, 1 met with one this
evening, and soon found another, and we
sounded a few pieces, which cheered me up
and brought to mind times that have flown
sweetly by. And l met some of them last
Christmas, and changed a few rounds at old
801 iety-Hill, hut I was disappointed even
in that general excitement; 1 anticipated a
happy Christmas with brethren E. T. P., —
J. L. P., —TANARUS, W.. and the Messrs. Rees’,
but failed to see a single one of them. I
also expected to meet brethren J. T. H. v

Wr- to h>- W.
J|Knd r p. P. W.. I aft no tmrsiWr com-
I'mutueations from mimed in. our
brother W. H. B. iVL, had ;l wn to. bull
find he is not ret gone, but ft. F. M. M. 1 ,
and A.'D„ have certainly passed off thp
stage of action, for l have ty>t seen or heard
a word from them for lo! these many
months. Boys ibis is n<>t the way to do
business, be up and doing all the while, fok
your stay is hut short at best.
There is few of the boys-yet that have
n'Ot faltered, but are still in the field,at\d with
•‘Helmet, sword and shield, laying most all
opposition to Sacred music, if all would
stand boldly up, with sword in hand, the
battle would soon be fought, the victory
won, and all jvould. then go shouting bomd
to glory.
f know not when f shall ever meet you
all again I fear never—but go on while it
is yet day, for soon |night will overtake you
and you may miss your wav. I leave you
now to your own redaction, but if permitted}
1 will meet you yet another day.

Columbus Ga. Jan. 31st, ’55.
Mr. Superintendent, Dear sir Suf
fer me lo again appear in the columns of the
Oroan; provided I don’t get lost in the at
tempt, as I expect a journey after, or a pur
suit of one, who acknowledges launching
into the almost unfathomable deep.
1 noticed in a September No. of the Or*
gan, a communication written from Gum
Swamp . dated Sept. 26th 1854; this article
should have been answered earlier than tbit
if 1 could have had an opportunity of doing
so; my paper containing the communicg*
don, was lost from me up to thfs date.-**
Another reason why I have delayed, in this;
a greflt’poriion bf my thnfe; | fiaVe been
away from home; a th'ud reason, I have*
been waiting upon one better informed than
myself, I however, undertake the job at this
time, rather reluctantly. Ido not promise
the writer of the article full satisfaction,
neither shall I coincide with him. io all hit
wanderings. From the fact of the article
j being written from Gum Swamp . I cau ex*
cuse my friend, and bear with him in the
many strange opinions he entertains upon
the,Science of music; 1 know that uo person
placed in a Gum, can have clear conception
or give light upon any subject; let It t>e
what it my.
My worthy friend appears to be in ad*
vanee of the major poriiou of our modern
and ancient writers, while they each hold
settled principles and fixed modes, some
rise up and affirm to the contrary, and such
appears to be tbe opinion of Mr. Sikes.
1 must confess that 1 prefer to hold on id
the old laud markes, and fixed principlei
set forth by our ancient and modern com*
pilots, notwithstanding some may hold to
certain principles which 1 would
lo be wrong; I would be as far from theirs
as I am from Mr.’ Sikes’; 1 only want to
sustain certain Theory.
Mr. S., says that he has watched the Or
gan, in order to gain information relative to
the ascending thirds from the key. Having
failed to gain the desired information, bo
marfes a few suggestions. His first is this,
‘•Are the ascending major and minor thirds
from the key the same, when both are keyedt
on the same letter,” My friend owns that
• there is a difference in the two, that is the
major and minor thirds,” but he is pestered
te perform the difference between the two.
He says, “have we the vocal ability to per
fot rn ib* difference'?” fTeTe is where Mr.
SiVes wants information.
Bo far at ability is concerned, I think if
is as easy in one scale as it is in the other*
I find no difference, that is, I have no great*
er strain in singing a puce in the minor
mode than I do in the major, hence 1 per*
ceive that it is no more trouble to perforin •
minor third than it is to perform a major.-
I think we need uot be in any difficulty
about vocal ability to perform either of the
thirds, for if nature is left to take its course*
it will need no help ; many are wont to help
where there is no need of help. 1 can’t teH
or say, why we should not be willing to con
form to the laws of nature, —submit and let
them take their certain course. If lam not
deceived, it is in music like it is in every
think pertaining to nature.
That there are fixed laws in nature fa be
governed by; I am pretty strong of opinion*
that in the fulfillment of these laws, ability
is sufficiently granted; no law could be fill--
; filled without ability or power to fulfill, t
| know not; why the power and ability is not
framed in vocal causes, as it is in others;
’in peisuaded that some assistance will bo
given in the performance of this law, as
that of any other, or is necessary to be gi
ven. Ido not know that changing of toe
keys from one letter to another is going to
make any difference in the performance of
tbe thirds. We may place the minor key;
