THE SAENGERFEST. MOVEMENTS OF THE SINGERS, Postponement of the Saenger Procession. The Public Rehearsal at the Academy. THE MAMMOTH CONCERT LAST NIGHT. A TRULY GRAND MUSICAL DEMONSTRATION. SCENES AT HEADQUARTERS. THE PROGRAMME TO-DAY, Ke, Kee, kee Though much is being talked and written about the German national festivals just now, especially about the present Singerfest in this city, nobody but the Germans themselves seems to understand the nature and character of these festivities, The singér unions—the singer bunds as they are termed in the German language—are ational demonstrations of a modern type, which were introduced into Germany some twenty or thirty years ago. They were inaugurated in consequence of the rapid growth of the art of music and song, especially in conse- ‘quence of the cultivation of the minner gesang (men’s ‘chorus songs). Ina very few years, almost simultaneously, musical socicties and giee clubs for the manner gesang were estab- Ushed in almost every city and villagein Germany. It ‘Was a new movement, in which the people were engaged ‘with great zeal and enthusiasm. Until this period the exercise of the art of chorus sing- ing had been rather exclusive, and mostly confined to the theatre, the church and art associations, or the choruses ‘were composed of male and female singers (Gemischte chors), who only cultivated classical music. Tho cultiva- tion of national song and music and the com- positions of the greatest masters of the nation ‘were, however, neglected, and manner chorus songs and quartette singing were only cultivated by the teachers of the common schools, teacher associations and confer- o28, at 2 period when the common schools became more emancipated from the church. From this period up to the present time music and song of this description ‘were extensively cultivated, and the manner chorus be- came a@ national institution. As soon as these musical associations had been estab- Aishsd in a!! parts of the coyntry, it was found necessary to inaugurate more extensive reunions, for the purpose of facilitating social intercourso and to ronder the com- positions of the national masters in an effectual manneren masse, This lod to the orgonizatlon of the Singer unions— the Sangorbunds—which celebrated their great singer festivals at Dresden, Wuerzburg, Cologne, Brunswick, Koenigsburg, Berlin, Leipzic, Munich, isruhe, Bonn and other cities under the leadership of eminent com- sand musicians, such xs Zoellner, Abt, Kuecken, Wines: Weber, Rietz and others. Especially in Western Germany, in the lands on the Rhine, this movement became very Interesting. The Germans united with their Germanic neighbors, the Belgians and Hollanders, and Netherlandish-Germau and Germanic-Belgian Sanger Unions were organized, who celebrated their great musical festivals at Arnheim, Cleve, Brussels and Cologne. Even abroad the German art of chorus songs is gaining favor, as has been demon- strated by a late German musical festival at Paris. In Consequence of the increased ivation of music a encral German Sduger band has been estab- shed in Germany, as previcvsly the general German Turner and Shuetzen Unions have been organized. The first general Singerfest was held in the celebrated old town of Niirnberg ona grand scale, where deputations and societies from all parts of Germany met, as they now will meet again Dresden. The great German national festivities are, however, of historic origin, and aro of xreat national and political im; ince as far as the never ceasing movemont for national unity is con- cerned,‘and in ths respect have a revolutionary ten- dency.’ Xven the festivities among the Germans in this country are important as well as interesting. Their na- tionality is preserved, and German art and customs are cultivated. The first German Sangerfest in this country was held at Philadelphia in 1860; the second at Baltimore in 1861; the third at New York in 1862; the fourth at Philadel- hia in 1853; the fifth at Baltimore in 1864; the sixth at jew York in 1855; the seventh at Philadciphia in 1856, Since then the Sanger festivals were to be held every ‘three yoars, The eighth was held at Baltimore in 1859, and the ninth was to be held at the city of New York, but the breaking out of the war prevented it, and it was postponed until the restoration of security and peace. YESTERDAY'S 'ROCKEDINGS. The quantity of lager and weis beer and Rhine wine imbibed yesterday in our metropolis passes computation. ‘The breweries have been at work night and day for the past movth manufacturing the firet named drinks. Huge carts peratabulated through our goreets from an early hour, supplying the various ‘‘yartens,”’ whose stock had deen’all exhausted the previous day.’ To go up the Bow- once was suflicient instruction in the German dialect bie one to speak the language; and to hear English n in our city isararity. {t seemsas if the Bremen had emptied Germany of its inbabitants and m at New York. Yesterday was a gala day for tonic residents: At an coriy hour of the morning they were up and doing, in their holiday attire, and were fully preparcd for the due per‘ormance of the programme erday morning the singers met again at the quarters, and the plan was to organize @ grand precees on, which was to proceed down the Bow- ery and pass through the Park, where the Mayor was to review th: singers, and thence the procession was to proceed through Broadway 'p to Fourteenth street to the Acadomy of Music, This part of the programme was, however, in consequence of the threatening aspect of the atmosphere, abandoned, and the Singer p1 coxssion will take place on Wednesday. The sing however, proceeded in a body to the lemy, where of the day the “public rehearsal fur the main concert, which took place last night, was held by the’ double chorus, composed of all the visiting — sing- ers—some two thousand voices—and by the orchestra, Sines of some hundred artists, under the leadership of Messrs. Pauer and Bergmann. ' About half of the seats were occupied, and the receipts for re- hearsal seats amounted to about one hundred and seven- ty dollars. All the tickets for soats at the Academy uring the main concert last night had been sold yester- day, and the receipts amounted to about three thousand dollars, Besides these, about seventeen hundred doliars bad been taken injand it will be seen that the expenses Will execed by far the receipts, The rehearsal at the Academy, as well as tho monster concert, were great musical affairs; and the various composi which are ‘Yory compiicated, were rendered in a magni t style, We give the following programme of this rebearsal and mammoth concert :— & Oxted « rom 4 5 iverture, '‘Robespierre’ . weer 2 Thuermeriied........... seeceeseeee Rebling, By the whole double chorus, 3.

MOVEMENTS OF THK SINGERS. After the rehearsal at the Academy the visiting singers made excursions in company with their New York asso- ciates to various points, or were entertained at the various headquarters of tho New York socicties. There are at present nearly three thousand singers in this city— about half of whom are visitors—the greater part of whom aro from Baltimore and Philadelphia. The leader, Mr. W. Pauer, went to Philadelphia about a week ago to prepare the singers there for the musical exercises: fad t great deal of labor in Beopit safe the bugenge of a of r in keeping safe the baggage o! the visitors—all of which (about fifteen hundred pieces),, with the exception of one, which was lost, has been’ safely returned to the owners. The Teutonia Society has for its guests four different societies— the Liedertafel, of Balttimore; the Buffalo Singer- bund; Manner’ Chor, of Philadel Liedorkranz, of Syracuse, and the Richmon ingers-~number- ing in all about one hundred and twenty-eight— who are the paren of the hospitalities of the Teuto- nia.

A great man has said ‘Let me write a nation's songs, and I care not who makes its laws,” and there is much ‘more in the saying than would at Orat appear. Poetry, and her sister art Music, naturally go hand in hand, and ‘@ nation’s characterisiics, failings and perfections may easily be determined from its national music. Thus the light chansonettes of the French Opera Comique, espe- cially suited to the pleasure seeking Parisians, ir depict the su; demonstrative and lively charac- ter of the Gaul. The Irish music, at ono time so fraught with pathos and feeling, at another redolent of fun and frolic, especially mark the good! |, sensitive, rol- licking Patlander. Then the English music—what little thereis of it—as hard to{fathom, as changeable, as dece; tive as the nation itself. Going to Italy we have the tender, impressive melody, #0 su; ‘ive of the dolee far nient: of tho native of tho sunny South; but the German forms a striking contrast to all of others. The German music dreams, the Italian sings, the French acts—at least so writes Nestor Roqueplan. One listens to German opera with a feeling leas of pleasure than wonder. He geta con! with the inighty chords which thrill one; infact, German music is thoroughly scientific, and so styled egut 2 It ts as one looking at a picture who is unacquainted with laws which govern ive and light and shade. He admires it— sees that it is true to pature—but in a very different way does the connoisseur examine it; he views it wi the Rp of an artist, and appreciates it. So the listener to Mendelssohn's or Mozart's compositions. He 1s thrilled, but not pleased so much as the phi Dutchman sitting next him, with open mouth drinking in every sound. literature and painting are the same; they are all deep; the coloring of the Flemish paintings is heavy and dull; Rubena, Van Dyke, al! give their works a most sombre coloring. The poems of Senilier and Goethe are all found. The ideas, it is true, are original, but then imagination refusos to plerce-so far into the unreal to judge of their beauty. In the Italian opera the statue is on the stage. the pedestal In the orchestra, whereas in the German the order is reversed. Thus the assertion we started with ie fully proved in this instance. Abstruse, heavy and per- fectly stolid; nothing light about the jon save ita lager bier.

There is a frightful mania existing in this for “big things.” To be good the cor of the dimensions of the article is indispensable, and its excellence is meas- ured on scientific grounds, as the he ape the size. This phase of human weakness, having first exhibited iteelf in crinolines and waterfalls, is gradually permeating society.

The part arranged as @ quartette was particularly beautiful, and elicited the hoartiest approbation from those present. Mendelssohn's Sheree, Gitiows én Colonos, was well rendered ; but absence of the aopranoelemont which was prosent at the previous concert was plainly noticeable. This completed tho Qrst part; the curtain fell; criti- cisms which remained unexpressed before, in conso- quence of tho jon of those present, wore now ven an opportunity of being exchanged; and the per- formers it isto be supposed in sundry and not unfre- set draughts of nor and good old rhine wine forti- themselves for the ‘SKOOND PART. The overture to Rienzi, which commenced the recond Part, was scarcely equal to that of jerre, cithor in composition or instrumentation. Set of the violins goomed to have become unstrung, owing to the ultra proscenial arrangements referred to; but still it was ren- dered effectively. The Hymn to Music, by the full cho- under the skilful baton ot Herr Paur, was sung with remarkable sweetness. In the case of the vocalists the lager seemed to have improved their powers. The gem of the evening was, however, Zoeliner's Prayer of the Earth, by the Baltimore Singerbund. This title is a misnomer, If music 1s born in heavon, truly this prayer is a first offering of the celestiala. The sunny South cortainly not deteriorated as regards musi af this day the Baltimoreans are in as good voice they will as- suredly carry off one of tho prizes offered for compoti- tion. Rietz's “Battle Song’’ terminated the programme, which was well selected and admirably carried out. His famous song was done ample justice to by the full chorus and orchestra. At its conclusion a sigh of dis- appointment at its brevity took the place of that of relief generally manifested on such occasions, and repeated calls brought Herr Paul to the front of the stage, where be received the applause which certainly he well Tne concert this evening promises to be the most in- teresting of the series, as it will give us an opportunity of judging of the respective merits of the various socie- ties. 6 programme 1s replete with the most beautiful German musical compositions, and the prizes will be adjudged to the most proficient in the art, OUR STREETS. Improvement in Their Appearance—More Outrages—Tho Strike—Mass Mocting in the Park, &e., &e. The contractors are keeping their word, and our streets are vastly cleaner, They have now every appliance necessary, more carts than they require, and a sufficient number of men. All the wards are now weil supplied, and the work goes bravely on. More outrages of the present character have, however, been committed by the strikers. In the Seventeenth ward, on Siinday night, the stable of a Mr. Hopper, in the service of the contractors, was entered, and the throat of a valuable horse cut. The roc neal ne eee this state to bleed to death. Can rutality go much further? One of the contractor's boats, too, used in conveying dirt to Jersey, was scuttled yesterday, and another cut adrift, © misguided men who are acting in thia inhuman and highly culpable way will ultimately be brought to Justice, and be compelled to undergo the penal- ties due to their unnatural conduct. A small but decidedly demonstrative aseemblage gathered yesterday afternoon around an improvised piat- form in the City Hall Park, to listen to addresses relative to the recent action of the Commiasioners in awarding the contract of cleaning the streets to the so-called now contractors. THE STRERT SWEEPERS’ STRIKE—MERTING AND SPERCHES IN CITY HALL PARK YESTERDAY. The meeting was called to order by Mr. Joax Lrxcu, who nominated for chairman Mr. T. J. McAlear, which Romination was unanimously endorsed, subsequent to which the following preamble and resolutions were offered for adoption :— f the misstatements of inte: public of New York may be ind to betiare that the mee for, merly employed in the cleaning of the streets have acted from different motives from that ‘which is really the true cause; and whereas, it has been industriously circulated, », that the men A refused, tt the press and otherwise, under any circumstances, to work for contractors; and has been, on more than one occasion, asserted ‘artmen ‘and laborers were politically interested in the non-sucoess of the contrast; and whereas, on the asaump- tion of the contractors to thett positions, they attempted a juction in the: jem e men, thereby offer em an faruflicient remunbration for the support of themselves and their families; now, therefore, be it Resolved, That we, the working men of the city of Now York, do most condoma the misrepresontations of interested parties to injure us in the face of au Intelligent public.

A list of Vice Presidents was then announced, and was unanimously endorsed, when the Caainuan stepped for- ward and proceeded to address the assemblage. He stated that he would briefly ect forth the objects of the meeting which had been called by the Workingmen’s Union in behalf of the laborers in the employ of the city contractors. B mattered but little to what class they belonged; thoy were not capitalists, and conse quently took an interest in the we! of the working- men. They all sympathized and were identified wit! ‘any measure which might tend to ameliorate the condi- tion of the laboring classes. And they had assembled to take into consideration such plans as might be conducive to the welfare of the workingmen, and, as a conse- quence, to the welfare of the city; for nine-tenths of the oar were not capitalists, and therefore thoroughly dentified with its imterests. Some persons might be- lieve, but the speaker could not, that the rates of the gm contract were favorable to the taxpayers, jevertheless, who were taxpayers? Not moa worth one or two hundred thousand dollars, but those who earned one doliar and a haif or two dol- lars per diem, whose daily bread was purchased by the sweat of their brow—these, and these only, were the men truly interested in the result of this discussion. ‘The misstatements vow current were only being put for- ward by persons eager to make large fortunes. He did Rot doubt that the Commissioners were conscientious men; but the surplus money given for the intended ex- excution of that contract had undoubtedly vanishod in some manner or other, and it was possible that at the ond of tho year the appropriation would be no smaler than ikon toad occasions. The speaker reminded bis hearers that they had to deal with men of capital, and that they bad themselves no funds wherewith to con- tond aguinst men wealthy, though thus far they had the pathies of the press and of a portion of the clear. ighted public, But though they had a great monopoly to over must pursue their course calmly and ably. ‘They to prove—and it was proven—that Teo men who awarded the contract had power to annul itin case of non-execution.

CORCORAN'S IRISH LEGION. The Irish Legion is expected to arrive in New York to-day, having completed its three yoars term of ser- vice. It ofiginally consisted of six New York regiments, commanded respectively by Colonel Matthew Murphy, Colonel McIvor, Colonel McEvily, Colonel McMahon, Colonel Burke and Colonel Reid. The nucleus of these was the Sixty-ninth New York National Guard, which had already so nobly distinguished itself at Bull run, under command of Colonel Corcoran. On the release of Colonel Corcoran from the Southern prisons in August, 1862, the public were enthusiastically excited over the event in consequence of his heroism and self-devotion to the cause of the Union. The authoritics at Washing- ton, Philadelphia, Boston and New York vied with each other in ovations to him, President Lincoln having commissioned him a brigadier general, Corcoran immediately set about raising an or- ganization of Irishmen for the defence of the Union. His old regiment, the Sixty-ninth, was the frst to volun- teer. Then offers of men from every city in the Union rushed to him, but for some cause the great majority of these volunteers were sent to other organizations after being enlisted, and the six regiments already mentioned were all General Corcoran commanded when organizing at Camp Scott, Staten Island, in September, 1862. Hav- ing been ordered to Newport's News, Virginia, in No- vember, these were consolidated into four regiments— namely, the Sixty-ninth, the One Hundred and Fifty- fifth, the One Hundred and Sixty-fourth, and the One Hundred and Seventieth. The following was the roster of the field and staff of those regimenta:— SIXTY-NINTH REGIMENT NEW YORK NATIONAL GUARD. Colonel, Mat. Murphy; Lientenant Colonel, Thomas M.
