HEADLEY & CO., 230 eb 252 South Hlffli St. K N A B E IA.NO& The following are selected from the numerous Knate Testimonials in our possession : Messrs. Wm. Knabe ft Co. Gentlemen: I haveyreat pleasure in certifying that I hare tried your Grand, Square and Upright Pianos, and find them equal,if not superior, to any in this country. Among the great qualities which distinguish them, is the evenness of tone, the easy and agreeable touch and volume of tone. Wishing you all the success which you so highly deserve, I am, sirs, Yours, very truly, H. TEALBERQ. Translation from the Fbekch. After having played on the Piano of Messrs. Knabe & Co., It is Impossible not to bear testimony to their qualities, which have acquired for them the eminent reputation which they enjoy. The Pianos of their manufacture, on which I nave played, are exceedingly remarkable for their qualities of tore. The Bass is powerful, without harshness, and the upper notes sweet, clear and harmoniously mellow, (chrystalin,) and I da not hesitate to express in regard to these instruments my entire satisfaction, and to declare that they are equal, if not superior, to the best manufactured in Europe or this country by the most celebrated makers. L. M. fctOTTSCHALK. Messrs. W. Knabe ft Co. Gentlemen : I cannot but congratulate you upon the immense progress and improvements which you continually make on your Pianos, which, in my opinion, rank among the very best in the country. JI. BlitAKOSUH. Messrs. Wm. Knabe & Co. Gentlemen : Having recently had opportunities of testing both your new scale Grand and Square Pianos, it gives me great pleasure to state that I have found them to combine all the qualities to make a Piano as perfect as possible, and unsurpassed by any that I have seen either in this country or Europe. For great power and roundness of tone, combined with that peculiar sweet and Binging quality, so often found wanting in Pianos, they are really unsurpassable, and in touch everything that can be desired by the most brilliant player. Wishing you every success, I remain, Yours truly, C. ANSC'HUTZ. MESsns. Wm. Knabe ft Co. Gentlemen : Having had lately an opportunity to try and test your new scale Grand as well as Square Pianos, I cannot refrain, besides reiterating all I had occasion to say at a former period, from congratulating you on the important improvements you nave introduced in the manulacture of Pianos. Your instruments combine all the qualities which are required to make a Piano as perfect as possible, and fully deserve the great popularity they have gained all over the country. Yours truly, L. M. GOTTSCHALK. Messrs. Wm. Kkabe ft Co. Gentlemen : I was delighted on hearing the clear and full tone ol your really Pint Clau Piano, and I congratulate you on the progress you have made in this branch of art. H. VIEUXTEMPS. Messrs. Wm. Knabe ft Co. Gentlemen: Our Opera Troupe are at present using four of your justly celebrated Pianos, and as the exponent of the views and opinions f the various artists, permit me to say : I consider them as uniurpautU in bilUamy and excellence, and pre-eminent, without a rival in this country or in Europe. Their superior quality of tone, combining great depth and powerful volume, with a rich and peculiarly clear and even treble, together with magic elasticity of touch and action, render them superior to the other instruments, which rarely if ever combine those most essential requisites. Profoundly impressed with the many valuable qualitias of these Pianos, I most cheerfully endorse the high and meritorious encomiums everywhere pronounced upon them. E.MUZIO, Musical Director of the Italian Opera. Messrs. Wa. Knabe ft Co. Gentlemen: It gives me great pleasure to testify to the real excellence of your pianos. Ho many of my brother-artists have given you the highest encomiums, that nothing remains tor me but to indorse them. As tar as my own experience is concerned regarding your instruments, I can only say that they satisfied mo in every way, and answered all my demands when I used them at the series of Pianoforte Soiriea I recently gave in Baltimore. With best regards, I remain Yours truly, CAUL WOLFSOHN. New York, Dec. 12th, 1801. Wa. Knabe ft Co. Gentlemen: I have carefully ex-amined your new scale Grand and Square Piano Fortes, and I must say thoy please me exceedingly, both with regard to touch and tone, and I can confidently recommend them as being equal to any in this country or Europe, and you have permission to malts use of my name if of service to you. Yours rcspeetfuily, GEO. W. MORGAN, Organist of Grace Church. New York, Dec. 15th, 18G1. Wm. Knaue ft llo. Gentlemen: Your Agent, Mr. Bauer, asked me to give him my opinion as to the merits of your Pianos -Grand and Square. My opinion "on the square" is that they are all qrani. Yours truly, ItODEK'i' HELLER. Messrs. Wm. Knabe ft Co. Gentlemen : Itgives me great pleasure to express my entire satisfaction and appreciation in favor of your new scale Grand Piano, which comtlnes all the qualities a ti rat-class instrument demands. Power, brilliancy and sweetness ot tone, evenness of sound through all the registers, and hut, but not least, the magnificent case containing the splendid instrument ; every requisite concurs to make tliis new effort of your time-honored linn a new triumph in your professional career. With my beat wishes for all. the success you so richly deserve, 1 remain, gentlemen, Yours, very truly, Baltimore, July 1st, 18U1. B. COUKLAENDER. Or the many who manufacture piano fortes, there are few who strive more thoroughly to improve their instruments than yourself. In view of this, and taking into consideration tha eminent success which has attended your etlorts, I can only say I know of nono who stand above you who can claim the merit of having done more to advance the ar by producing a porfeot instrument, or who have worked more enthusiastically in iU interest. W. K. BASbFOUD, Pianist. I recommend the pianos of Messrs. Knabe ft Co. to everybody who wants a realty rtt-cla$i instrument. HAND BALATKA, Director of the Philharmonic Society.

ITALY. ! New York, Jan. 30. The Herald's social from Naples, Jan. 29, via London, Jan. 29, says : The eruption of Mount Vesuvius, which has continued with greater or less intensity since its occurrence in the past year, has culminated, if I may so term It, In an tnusual and very fatal catastrophe. Yesteriay evening the side of Mt. Vesuvius lying irlght opposite to the Gate of Castello Unoko one of the fortifications of this city, situate! between the Royal Palace and the sea, fell, tumbling outward. The de tached portion buried several houses built In the vicinity, andoverwhelmed carriages and other conveyances passing on the highway. At this momcnt'the scene is melancholy and full of ruins. The road running In the neighborhood of the VDlcano is filled with rocks and earth, which lately formed part of the mountain. This extraordinary event has also been at tended with considerable loss of life; but the number of persons killed has not been ascertained. PRUSSIA. Berlin, Jan. 30. Herr Twesten, the member of the North German Parliament, who was arrested some time since for alleged Improper language in debate, has been discharged, having been subjected to a slight pecuniary fine. It is thought the decided positloff taken by Parliament that members ought not to be held accountable in any other place for words spoken in debate, contributed in no small degree to this merely nominal punishment. IRELAND. London, Jan. 8. Dispatches rectived from Cork announce that Marcus Adans, a head center of the Fe nian Brotherhood, was arrested in that city last evening. ENGLAND. London, Jan. 30. The city article of. the Times says: Though there Is no steamer of the North German line, Lloyd's will leave Southampton this week for New York. There will be no delay in the transmissicn of the malls, as they will be taken out in tin Cunard steamer from Liverpool and Queerstown. Rev. Newman llall, in an address delivered in the tabernacleof F.ev. Mr. Spurgeon, urged Lord Stanley to bring the Alabama claims to a speedy settlement. WASHINGTON SPECIALS. Anotuir Veto In Proiect . New York, Jan. 30. The Herald's Washington special says: It is reported Hid pretty generally believed that the Presldnt is determined to veto the bill suspendlngthe further contraction of the currency, on tlu ground that It Is a wide departure from lie road to specie payment, and as an advocate of a speedy resumption of specie paymmt, he cannot give his content to it. He believes it would be highly injurious to the welfare of the country at large for this bill topecome a law.

" Meade, it is expected will defend his course upon the groutd that the acts of Congress authorized him to make such use of the State property as he may see fit. This will bring the test of tha constitutionality of the present system of Ihu Government in the unrepresented Stales, and will determine many other similar Instances of Irregularities incident to the unitary administration in the South. The World's Washington special says: The Committee of Ways and Means have decided not to reduce the whisky tax. An Indiscreet Judge. Last evening, at a private meeting of both political parties, one of the Justices of tho Supreme Court spoke very freely concerning the Reconstruction measures of Congress, and declared In tho most positive terms that all these laws were unconstitutional, and the Court would bo sure to pronounce them so. Some of his friends near him suggested that It was quite Indiscreet to speak so positively, when he at onco repeated his views In a more emphatic manner. Expense of Iliiunlngthe Mnchlno.

FORTIETH CONGRESS. SENATE. Washington, Jan. 80. Mr. POMEROY offered a rpsnlnt.lnn Ir. quiring into the expediency of changing the 1 i I m i . .. . - . uurwuTu uuuuuury oi voiorauo irom tne ast to the 42d parallel. The bill In relation to the act regulating the tenure of civil olllce, came up, when Mr. PATTERSON, of N. H., moved to amend by substituting an entirely new bill, dispensing with the special agents heretofore appointed under acts of 1792, 1793, and 184C. Mr. SUMNER moved to amend, at the persons employed by the State Department in foreign affairs ; provided they were paid from the Department's contingent fund. After rlphAtp In thn ir.nrao tf whloti AT - w- J v VWMSUW VI VTUlsU 41.1.1s HOWARD said these agents of the State Department had been very numerous and very mischievous. Its further consideration was postponed. Mr. PATTERSON gave notice that he would press a vote to-morrew. The resolution relative to the International Maratime Exposition at Havre was debated without action. HOUSE. Mr. SCIIOFIELD, rising to a question of privilege, offered a resolution reciting that the Washington Evening Express of yesterday contained a statement that at a private gathering of gentlemen of both political parties, one of the Judges of the Supreme Court spoke very freely of the reconstruction measures of Congress, and declared in most positive terms that all those laws were nncon-constltutional, and that the Court would be sure to pronounce them so; that some of his friends near him suggested It was exceedingly Indiscreet to speak so positively, whence at once repeated his views In a more emphatic manner; also reciting that several causes under such reconstruction measures were pending in the Supreme Court, and directing the Judiciary committee to inquire into the truth of the declarations contained in the newspaper article, and report whether the facts constitute such a misdemeanor in office as requires this House to present to the Senate articles of Impeachment against such Justice of the Supreme Court, with power to examine witnesses, and report at any time. The SPEAKER asked whether there was any objection to the introduction of the resolution.Mr. PRUYN rose and asked whether the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Scofluld) assumed the responsibility of stating the facts recited. Mr. SCOFIELD said of course he did not. but hoped to find out the truth or falsehood of the allegation. The SPEAKER announced that the reso lution was before the House. Mr. JOHNSON said he had risen to object. but he was willing to let the resolution be offered, if he designated the Judge referred to. Mr. ELDRIDGE asked whether the reso. lution was before the House. The SPEAKER replied that it was. Mr. ELDRIDGE said he had reason for his purpose of objecting to the resolution, but had supposed the gentleman from New York (Pruyn) to be making objection. After an answer to that .gentleman's InqHlryhe did make the objection. The SrEAh.hK remarked that according to the gentleman's statement he had not ob jected in time. Alter considerable uenatc, ivir. remarked that alike paragraph was published In the Morning Baltimore Gazette, giving the name of the Judge as Stephen J. Field. Mr. JOHNSON said if this was a blow at Judge Field he wanted the name Inserted in the resolution. Mr. SCOFIELD suggested that he would allow the gentleman from California to move to amend the resolution by inserting the name of Judge Fle'd. Lauglit.-r. iir. JUiiASUJNiueciiuea to avail himself of the opportunity. Mr. HIUBJiiK declared that lie had been familiar with Judge Field during all years of the rebellion, and that there no man truer to the Union ami more in lavor or the suppression of the rebellion than Judge Fluid. Mr. 1SA1VEK said tuat such a grand charge should have a better foundation than a mere newspaper article, and therefore he wanted to vote against tho resolution. After some remarks by Messrs. Phelps and Eldrldge Mr. SCOFIELD moved the previous ques tion, which was seconded. Mr. ROBINSON moved to lay tho resolution on the table, which was negatived. The resolution was then adopted. The Houso resumed tno consideration of the bill reported from the Committee on For eign Affairs, concerning the rights of American citizens in foreign states. Speeches were made in criticism of the bill by Messrs. Donnelly, Woodward, Wood Wilson ol lowa, rue ami .Myers. The morning hour havlug expired, tho bill went over till tho morning hour of Tuesday next.

The members of the Produce Exchange and citizens generally held a meeting at the Produce Exchange to-dav at 1:30 P.

Judsa Peckham decided to quash the writ of cer-torari granted by Justice Welles In General Cole's case. District Attorney Smith gave notice that he would move for a trial in the case. Ihe counsel for defense opoose the motion, and ask for a postponement of the case over to the next term, on the ground of the absence of James T. Brady, one of the counsel for the defense, and material wit nesses. Judge Thurman. The Dayton Journal says of Judce Thur man : "He docended immediately from one of the 'first families of Virginia.'" Hardly, in the sense in which the Journal uses the phrase. Judge Thurman's father was Rev. Pleasant Thurman, a minister of the Metho dist Episcopal Church, who died in Chilllco-the about twelve years ago. He was a man of deep and fervent piety; in politics a Whig, but thoroughly anti-slavery. Being in very limited circumstances, his son, Allen G., when quite youngr became the protege of Hon. William Allen, of Chllllcothe.for whom he was named and by whom he was educated. When he was a young man he was as radical an anti-slavery man as ever his father was, but under tho tutelage of Allen he soon lost his abolition proclivities, and in his public life has been consisteuly pro-slavery. He married into a rich, pro-slavery family, of Virginia descent, and that is about all the "F. F. V." there is about him. Ex. We do not know that the truth of history Is very Important in this case; though It may not be amiss to correct some of the mistakes In this little paragraph. In 1834-5, we lived in Chllllcothe. At that time William Allen was the member of Congress from that dis trict. His sister, several years bis elder, was the mother of Allen G. Thurman, who was then a stndent or law, with his uncle, Mr. Allen. His father, Pleasant Thurmant was a local Methodist preacher, who may have been anti-slavery for anything we know, though we guess not, as he was cither a Virginian or North Carolinian; though that was just at the beginning of the abolition excitement. As to his piety, that was not a remarkable feature In his character. He was altogether a rough kind of a man, and was not popular as a preacher. His business was auctioneer, deputy sheriff, court crier, constable, and employment of that kind, and in that capacity he was respectable. But Mrs. lhurmau was a very superior woman, and to her, both her son the Judge, and her brother, the Senator, are Indebted for their training and subsequent distinction; for William Allen was so much her Junior, that his education and training was almost wholly under her direction. He studied law, under the stimulus or her ainbitlou, after he had served an apprenticeship to the saddle and harness business. Tho Aliens were from North Carolina, where they enjoyed a good social position, without much if any wealth. Mrs. Thurman was quite aristocratic In her sympathies, and was never tired of talking of the high-tone of society among the gentry of her native Mate, ucr education had been good, ami though then In reduced circumstances, she was well qualltled to inspire tho ambition that has led both her brother and her son. Judgo T., we suppose, has risen by his own talent and Industry. Ills Southern sympathies and aristocratic manner were fairly inherited, though they are no more In sympathy with real Democracy than they aro with liuaMHm.AsiiUiOttia beiiunti. SECRETARY OF STATE. We are Informed that tho friends of Gen. Isaac R. Sherwood, of Williams county, will present his namo to tho Republican State Convcutlon as a candidate for Secretary of State. Although this Is the f.rst public announcement ot such design, wo have reasons lor tho Heller that uen. Micrwood s name will lo received with much favor wherever known, and especially In Northwestern Ohio. Of his fitness for the place, no acquaintance can cntertalu a doubt, while In personal character, loyalty to tho Union at homo and in tho field, and In sound political principles, uono can excel him. Entering the army as tho bearer of a musket, he served In nearly every position from tho ranks to tho command of his regiment (the 111th), and was mustered out only when the surrender of tho rebel armies made his services no longer necessary. We feci every assurance, that Northwestern Ohio will bo a unit In the presentation of the namo of Gen. Sherwood, and In view of tho very meagre representation of this section In the State House, especially under Republican rule, we cannot doubt that such request Will bo honored by tho delegates from tho other portions of tho State. Tho Comptroller of the Treasury lor two terms, and the Attorney General for one, constitute the entire attention given the Northwest by the Republican party since Its organization, thirteen, years ago. 2Wto CommtrcM.
