Roddy' scouts in the late war, got into an altercation with Mr. McClure at a billiard saloon in Tuscumbia, Ala, when McClure struck Warren with a cane. Maj. Warren responded with a pistol shot, which took affect on Dr. James Bart, who was instantly killed. ____ THE South Nashville Street Railway will be completed to Broad street, on Cherry to-morrow, which will finish up nearly three miles of track, if we mistake not. The last call for payment of stock has been ordered, and we hope to see it all paid up immediately, so that the good work can go on. We learn that if the Street Committee of the corporation do not have to work on Cherry for the city, the road can be built right away on that street to Cedar. Hope it will be done. ____ We heard of a shooting affair which took place yesterday at McWhirtersville, five or six miles out on the Lebanon pike. It appears that a couple of merchants in that thriving village got into some difficulty, when one of them made a target of the other, snapped his pistol three or four times, but it failing to go off, he turned and fled, hastily pursued by the other. We are happy to say no lies were lost, and that at last accounts, all was "quiet on the Potomac." ____ POLICE COURT. - This city docket of misdemeanors for twenty-four hours, as brought before Recorder Wilkinson yesterday morning, number twenty cases in all. One party, charged with fastriding was discharged. There were eight cases of petty gaming, which paid finds and cocts [[costs]] to the aggregate sum of $89. A drunken and disorderly party paid $9 for leaving an omnibus on the street, and two others for regrading in the Market House, and for lewdness, paid $9 each. ____ FIRE ON THE SQUARE. - About half-past eleven o'clock last night, a fire broke out in the hardware store of Driver & Brown, on College street, between Deaderick and Cedar. The fire originated in the cellar, igniting a lot of straw that was stored there; but whether by accident, or the work of an incendiary, we were unable to learn. The fire engines were promptly on the ground, and in a very short time succeeded in quelling the flames, which, fortunately, did not reach the story above. The loss sustained will probably amount to about one thousand dollars. ____ MORE GAS. - The bill which has passed both houses of the Legislature, incorporating the South Nashville Gas Company appoints Messrs. D.F. Wilkin, Isaac Paul, J.B. Lindsley, F.O. Hurt, M.C. Cotton, M.A. Parrish, Samuel E. Jones, M.G.L. Claiborne, Horace H. Harrison, B.S. Hamilton, and LeRoy Armstrong, commissioners to open books of subscriptions to the capital stock of the company. These gentlemen are requested to meet at the office of Messrs. Nelson & Murfree Tuesday evening for the purpose of organizing , that the enterprise may be put through with as little delay as possible. ____ A JUVENILE OFFENDER. - John Smith, a youth apparently not more than seventeen, an employee at the Sunny Side institution on Cherry Street, was yesterday arraigned before Recorder Wilkinson, charged with stealing books from Mr. E.P. Cone, bookseller and stationer on the opposite side of the street, The young Smith declared he could give an excellent character, and had been employed by Capt. Irvin, quartermaster. He was required by the Recorder to give bond in the sum of $500, for his appearance Monday Morning, for examination, and an officer was dispatched with him to see if he could raise the bail to that extent. ____ A STOUT WEED. - While the Prosecuting Attorney for the City was making an argument, yesterday morning, in Judge Wilkinson's Court, against one whose participation in gaming, as charged, seemed involved in doubt, he alluded quite appropriately to the legislative and judicial severity of the State of Tennessee towards that particular vice. It has been a peculiar vice of Tennesseans, said he, from the very infancy of the Colony. Some of our most eminent men had been addicted to it - me who, in all other respects, were political and social ornaments. The passion for gaming had early become a social disease, rooted in the very constitution of society, as it were. Hence, the Legislature had shown unwonted severity, in its enactments, towards this vice; and in construing those enactments, the Supreme Court had been exceedingly rigid. The wise men of the State believed, and manifested that belief in their actions, that so strong a disease required strong preventatives and remedies. Doubtless the City Attorney took a view of this subject quite in accordance with facts of history; but his remarks naturally suggested that gaming, like some grains and grasses, grows all the more vigorously, the more it is pressed down and trodden underfoot. Behold its gigantic proportions today. From a mere weed, it has grown to be an immense tree, so that the fowls of the air lodge in the branches thereof. Those who dwell under its evergreen boughs, are able, in many instances, to make and unmake legislators. It would not be quite safe policy in a candidate for judicial honors, to say before the election, whatever he might do afterward, "I intend to give gaming no quarter," Verily, the Four Kings are potentates. Ye cannot overcome them. [[column 2]] The Sacred Concert on Friday Evening. We were delighted with the rich musical entertainment on Friday evening, at the First Presbyterian Church, and we think we express the sentiments of the large and appreciative audience, when we pronounce the whole performance a real musical success. Memory reverted to the past, before "the cruel war began," when Nashville could boast her "Musical Union," and her "Philharmonic Society;" and we are happy to learn that quite a respectable number of our talented amateur musicians, who for nearly five long and weary years had "hung up the fiddle and the bow" are about to resume active operations. We hail the event as the harbinger of brighter days, when "peace on earth and good will to men," shall be the leading motive of every heart. But to the concert: The prelude on the organ, but the talented maestro, Prof. Weber, brought out the power of that grand instrument, and prepared the way for the introductory chorus from Rossini's "Moses in Egypt," which was finely rendered by the full chorus. The tenor solo, "In native worth," was very creditably sung by Mr. V., whose voice is of rare smoothness and compass. "Gratius Agimus Tibi," was most artistically rendered by Mrs. H., and evinced rare qualities of voice and execution. The justly popular terzetto, "On Thee each living soul awaits," was hardly equal to its merits, owing to a want of a nicer balancing of parts, and more promptness in execution. The bass aria, "Now heaven in fullest glory Shone," with the opening recitative was sung by Mr. W. in fine style. The beautiful and descriptive solo, "With verdue clad, "Haydn's chef-d'oeuvre of art, was admirably sung by Miss A.E., "Rolling in the foaming billows" was taken by Mr. P. It wanted a little more weight, but was very creditably rendered. Topliff's popular and expressive piece, "Ruth and Naomi," was very neatly and effectively sung by Mrs. P., and added much to the pleasure of the evening. The tenor solo, "Now vanish before the holy beams," was well executed; the clear enunciation of the tenor robusto, Mr. D., shone out with telling effect, and the chorus was all that could be desired. Torrente's master piece, "Show my thy way, O Lord," was charmingly sung by Mrs. H., and was one of the brightest gems of the programme. The beautiful and pathetic alto solo, "He was Despised," was finely rendered by Mrs. N., and here the skill of the organist was exhibited in the exquisitely sympathetic accompaniment, leading the mind to contemplate with subdued pathos, "the man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief." "On Mighty Pens," (another delightful effusion of the immortal Haydn) was tastefully rendered by Miss F. We had heard the talented songstress in this piece before, but think we discovered considerable improvement in style and execution. The grand and massive bass solo, "The Trumpet shall Sound," was assigned to Mr. W., and rendered with great power and expression. The spirited chorus, "The Heavens are Telling," closed the performance, and in promptness and vigor of execution would favorably compare with the best exhibitions of musical skill. We again repeat, the whole affair was a decided success - a rich treat of classical music well conducted and successfully executed. But we have far exceeded our limits. We cannot, however, close the subject without expressing the wish that we may soon be favored with the like again; and were we allowed a suggestion, we would prefer a whole "Oratorio" and by preference the "Creation" - for it is ever fresh sparkling and new for the benefit of the poor widows and orphans of our city. Who could refuse their aid for such an object? The sparkling eye, and the silent, grateful tears of widowhood and orphanage would be ample reward. And higher, still, higher would be the plaudit, "For inasmuch as you have to it unto these, ye have done it unto Me." ____ Amusements. THEATRE. - Alf. Stewart's benefit last night was not what might be called a tremendous affair; still the house was comfortably filled, and were it not for the rain which poured down during the evening, would doubtless have been crowded. In the "Irish Emigrant," the beneficiary played the character of Tim. O'Brien with a reasonable degree of success, albeit his Hibernian brogue was somewhat exaggerated and unnatural. By studious care and cultivation, Alf. would make what he is more than anything else adapted for - a rollicking Irish comedian. He has a good deal to learn yet, however, before he is a thorough master of Milesian peculiarities, and in saying this, we profess to know. As Robert Emmett- the less said, the better. In doing the dignified and pathetic, Alf.is as much out of his element as a fish out of water. So we say once for all, Alf, if you wish to succeed, keep within corduroy breeches and a ragged coat, and don't ever assume anything above the richest Corkonian brogue. On Monday evening, the distinguished actress, Miss Charlotte Thompson, commences engagement. THE MATINEE. - The performance yesterday afternoon attracted a much larger audience than we anticipated, the majority of whom were ladies and children. We are pleased to be able to state that in the future a matinee performance will take place every Saturday. THE FENIAN CHIEFS. - Next Wednesday evening, General Sweeney and Col. Roberts will deliver addresses at the Old Theatre. In connection the fine Irish drama of "The Fenians of 1600" will be produced. We expect to see one of the largest audiences present that ever assembled within the same walls. Remember, the proceeds are to go towards the purchase of arms for the Fenian Brotherhood. FRANK, VERY. - Miss Helen Western is playing an engagement in Memphis. Here is what the theatrical critic of the Argus says about the lady, which, if not complimentary, has at least the merit of frankness: "Without desiring to suggest or to enter into criticism, we offer the opinion that the management would make money by paying off the star (!) to the end of her engagement and running the stock company the remainder of this and next week. The public would also be served and gratified at the same time. A CINCINNATI dispatch of the 9th says: Edwin Forrest plays here next week at the National Theatre. The actor and Mr. Pike could not agree about terms. LOTTA has made a big strike in the staid city of Boston. She appeared last week at the Howard Athenaeum as Topsy, in "Uncle Tom's Cabin," and is pronounced the best representative of the role ever seen in that city. Lotta, until this engagement, was a stranger to the Bostonians, but no artist has ever received a kinder welcome than she. Frequently she has been called out to repeat special acts of either a banjo solo or a dance for the third time. On the 2d she took a benefit, and the house was crowded. The Chicago Times having handled the [[column 3]] performance of "L'Africaine," as rendered by Gran's Troupe, without any glove, Gran has foolishly come out in "Card to the public," stating that the Times had demanded and received "from fifteen to twenty reserved seats" every night of the opera season in that city. BARNEY WILLIAMS and wife are in their fourth and last week of their engagement at the Holliday Street Theatre, Baltimore. MAX MARTZEK'S Opera Troupe, including the Misses Kellogg and Phillips, brought forth "Martha" for the benefit of Young Men's Anglo-African Institute, to an immense business, on February 1st, in Music Hall, New Haven, Connecticut. ____ Religious Notices.
