The German Vocal Societies in the City and Vicinity. What They Are Called and Where They Meet. THE SAENGERFE! SEASON, Some weeks ago, under the titie of “German Pop- ular Amusements,” we gave a short description of ‘the manner in which the German population of this city pass their leisure hours, It was then stated that rational amusement—pleasant recreation—was as necessary for the physival ana mental weil-being of man as food, This truth no one can or will gainsay; Ror can anybody dispute the assertion that of all mationalities there is none that has cultivated the study of relaxation from the strain of business and work to such periection as the Germans. And at no other time does this appear ®o publicly nor to such obvious advantage as during the summer months, when their mumerons festivals attract great crowds. They have their saengerfest, scuuctzenfest, open air concerts, “Italian nights,” competition prize singiag—as the gingers of old had at the Wartburg, according to he Niebetungen Lied—and a variety of other feasts, at all of which they strive with heart and soul to be happy and jolly themselves and to make all others as bap- py and jolly as possible. And with renewed energy, with reinvigorated vital powers they return to their daily vocations, mindful of the old adage that “there is a time for everything,” for work as well as Jor play and amusement. All will recollect last year’s schuetzenfest at Jones’ Wood, which on some days during its continuance was visited by not less than $0,060 persons, froin morning ull midnight. Then the Germans had also last summer their grand national Germano- American Saeugerfest in Chicago, where a number of the most prominent societies of this city attended and participated iu the three days’ festivities, and even a delegation from Germany, represevting sing- ing societies in the old Fatherland, came across the eccan to celebrate the union of the Old and the New World through the means of German song. Only a week ago the German residents of the Southern States had their annua! Schuetzenfest at Charleston, S. ©., to which a whole company of German amateur sharpshooters from this city shunned not the time and expense to go. It was the “New York Schuet- zen Corps,” a volunteer organization, formed by ever 100 of our substantial German business men, commanded by Captain John P, Gerdes, who during ‘their three days’ stay at Charleston did so well with their rifies that they bore oif the first four principa: prizes, which now adorn their meeung room at Cen- tral tall, in the Bowery. ‘The season of the Saengerfeste 1s now approaching. ‘The New York section of the Northeastern Saenger- bund, consisting of nearly one hunared singing societies of New York and vicinity and numbering over @ thousand vocal performers, imaugurate the season by a grand open air concert and lestival at Funk’s Park, om the East river and Sixty-third etree, The Nineteenth Ward Society started of with a concert and picnic last Saturday at the ferrace Garden. The Arion and Liederkranz societies will follow at the same place during the summer on each alternate Saturday, and = ed Keon Alpen eer gg of which we shail presently give complete list, have srranged each for one or more simular festivais during tae hot term, and the vocal sections of the Turn-Verein, we Allgemeine Saengerbund and a Dumber of minor so- @iciies have also their festival to-day at Jones’ Wood. And then, in Jaly, the grand Saengeriest of we Northeastern Saengerbuud 1s to take place at Baiti- more, lasting from the 10th to the idth of the month. Over thirty societies from this city will take part in mu ©All along during the winter and spring tne rehearsals have been kept up—tirst each society bv itself and then several together—wiuile i 1s now pro- posed wo contunue the rehearsais en masse—that 1s, all the singers to join in falichorus. It is beltleved that at the great mass chorus which is to be per- formed at Baltimore no less than from two to three ‘thousand voices will unite. At all these festivities the recollection of and counection with the good oid Fatheriand is, we are almost tempted vo say, plously cherished, Ibe popuiar poet, Maeiler von der Werra, am Saxony, bas written a hymn, and the Nestor of German song composers, Franz Avi, has seat a beautiful patiolic song which wilt be rendered by we) skilled amateur performers. Thus the ‘heavenly gift of song and music’ ts cultivated among the Germans for their own moral beneut and the delight of the commanity. But tus ig not all. The several socieues have their stated evenings each week, when they meet for practice, exercise and rehearsal, under the leadership of some one of the many prolessors of music in the city, who pnerally receive a liberal salary. 1t does one good visit some of them occasionally, and observe the pain ing endurance with which merchants and protessional men, bankers, artists, physicians and lawyers, mechanics and laborers, all mingie together harmoniously and do their best to learn how to sing well, how to imtonate properly, how to infuse expression and life into the melody. The practice at such meetings lasts for several hours, and howsoever tedious and labo- rious it may be, they gladly undergo the trouble, for u heart is in the work. Some of these sucie- Ues bave what ts called a “mixed chorus,” the wives, sisicrs and daughters of the members joining in the rehearsal, aud 1a the more or less public perform- ances, and several of them maintain, at their ex- pense, regular singing schools, at which boys and gurls are Laught by the musical director of the society. ‘Afier such rehearsals the time is spent in social and convivial envertamment, in which the families of the members generally take an active part. There is most assuredly a certain degree of poesy in this kind of life, in Which the ulte cura duice ts 6 ration- aliy mixed.

THE NINKTRENTH WARD READING CLOB CONCERT. On Saturday evening the Terrace Garden, on Third avenue and Fifty-eignth and Pifty-ninth streets, was the scene of a very pleasant reunion, the occasion bemg a complimentary concert to Professor Seivert by thie clob., The large hall of the establishment was crowded by a very fashionable assemblage, con- sisting chiefly of the members and friends of the club, A rare masical treat was provi and sei- dom have the surroundlugs of Terrace Garden heard such delicate stralas, whether in a vocal or insiru- mental point of view.

The Annexation Keeling—Great Decrease of Populatioa—Trade StatisticeExodus of Cap> ital, Honowviy, April 22, 1869. 1am satisfied that the annexationists here are in- creasing in numberg, Men who have in the past stood by the King and Ministry now boldly declare themselves in favgr of annexation, A judi- cious selection of @ person to reside here as Minister Resident of the United States would go fqr towards Americanizing the foreign population o! this kingdom. If the islands are worth anything tq the United States, now 1s the time to act, It is vely generally believed that his Majesty is acquiring Jands and money for a rainy day, or, in other wards, for the change which he feels must take place. A local paper publishes some facts in regard to the decrease of natives ad imerease of foreigners this group, which will prove interesting in connec- tion with the questiog of annexation, ‘The first oiicial census was made in 1832, at which time the total population of the group was 130,315. In four years (1836) another census was taken, which Gave a decrease of 21,738, or over 16 per cent. Fourteen years later another census proved te population to be but 4,165, of which 1,962 were foreign or mixed, the per cent of the decrease for this fourteen years bemg twenty-two, In three years (1863) the fourth census was taken, which showed that the natives had decreased 13 per cent, while the foreigners had gained over 3 per cent. In 1860 another census showed a decrease of over 9 per cent of the native population, while the foreigners had increased over 51 per cent. Of natives under twenty years of age there were but 30 per cent of the whole popuia- tion. ‘The last census of 1866 gives a native popula- tion of but 58,765, and of foreign 4,194. In six years tue natives nad lost over 10 per cent and the foreign element gaiyed 30 per cent. ‘The total number under sveen yeurs of age Was 16,678, or 26 per cent of the whoie population, While the foreign families in- crease in the number of chiidren the natives are losing rapidly. A_ letter from Kanal says that the recent epidemic, scarlatina and accompanying gore throat, bas carried aff almost all the native children under one year old, In 1560 there were 20,420 married couples, while in 1866 there were but 15,643—a falling olf of 23 per cent in six years. In 1866 there were 19,754 people over forty years old, against 16,678 under fifteen years of age. A recapitulation suows that in 1832 the whole popu- lalion Was 140,315, of which but few were foreigners. In 166, thirty-four years later, the uative popiation nad decreased over 54 pericent, while the foreigners had increased over 114 per cent. it ia rumored that his Majesty intends visiting England in 1871; but your correspondent does bot believe that he has any such intention.

MILITARY NOTES. Orders will be issued to-day for the Twenty- second regiment, National Guard, State of New York, to proceed to Sing Sing on Friday, the 21st of this month, for the purpose of one day’s target practice, the expense to be paid from the regimental fand. It is expected that every member of the regiment will attend, and fines for non-ttendance wil be strictly enforced. There will be several prizes presented for the best shots, one of them being a very handsome siiver-mounted rifle. The board of officers have offered two prizes. At a meeting of the board of officers on Saturday evening it was decided to abandon the Boston excursion and the encampment for tig seagon and devote the summer to target practice and outdoor drills, The ramor that the regiment willremain “five years at Sing Sing’ 18 discredited in official circles.

As far as heard from the Ta of the compa- nies of the Seventh regiment which have already taken a vote onthe excursion question seem to be in favor of Saratoga.

Constitution of the 13th instant publishes a letter from Governor Henry 8. Foote in relation to the authorship of certain peace resolu- tions introduced into the Confederate Congress shortly after the second battie of Manassas. The ex-Governor #aya:— To speak of ine, as Mr. Pollard has done, as being, at the time of bringing forward these peace resolu: tions, “in intimate relations with Mr. Davis,” and to attempt to subject this gentleman to the discredit of having been guilty of cunning and ambidextrous political management, in the instigation of a deceptions public movement mtended te beguile the Northern democracy, seems to me to be one of the most extraordinary [fae that I have ever heard of.

SPORTING. The Prize Ring. Although in the approaching contest between Mc- Coole and Allen, the tormer is confidently asserted as the favorite, still the friends of Allen are not without some hopes of victory. For the past week he has been traming vigorously at the Buckeye House, near Cincinnati, and however little his prospects of suc- cess, he evidently means to give battle to the best of his ability. On ‘the other hand, McCoole has been very active in his preparations, and has already re- duced himself considerably since the fight was first agreed upon. Being a man of lara frame and powerful build he will probably not fight much under 200 pounds, Present circumstances seem to indicate that the affair will be very resolutely contested. The arrangements for the encounter have been partly comp'eted. There has been as yet but little betting, but as matters come to a crisis the interest mcidental to such meet- ey) will doubtless increase. irginia ig said to be the ground whereon Tim Collins and Barney Aaron will contend for the light weight championship, the latter having agreed to fignt for $1,000 to accommodate his opponent.

An international contest of this descripion Will, doubtless, awaken many feelings besides taose of pleasure, but promment and above all the scales of jusuce must fairly upheld before the world. ‘The programme of the annual contest between Yale and Harvard has been changed owing to the forth- coming international contest, According to the ar- rangements of the Ll: committee a crew of the men, thought to be next best to the four who shall be selected for the English race, has been got to- gether. With this crew it has been agreed upon to row the six oared race at the time and place named im the original challenge. Affairs have assumed quite a lively aspect on Lake Quinsigamond. The Worcester Gazette says there are no less than four crews, wiih suell boats, already at work. ‘That best kvown is the champion iDape ioNtge who have yet to be vauquished by a local crew. They will use the same boat they have rowed for the past two seasons. Next 1s the Union crew, who have re- cently purchased a new shell, fifty-two feet long, nineteen inches wide, eight inches deep and made of Spanish cedar. The Leary crew, sv called, have also received a new shell. She 1s forty-elght feet long, twenty inches wide and is a very fast boat. ‘The old Union shell is still a very good boat and will be used by a crew of young men whose names are not yet divulged. The crew who last year rowed in the old Phantom lapstreak will probably have a new shell this season. A match has been between Wm. Fergu- son and Walter Benjamin to row from Newburg to Cornwall.

At a recent meeting of the Academy of Sciences of Paris @ letter was read from M. Lepage, a silk grower at Douera. This gentleman had optained most wonderful revaits by a peculiar system of treat- ment, which may be described as simply consisting of great cleaniiness and good ventilation. The slik- worms Were, at each stage, transferred to a new hurdie made of fat reeds; four times a day they were fed with hashed muiberry leaves, always moistened, &c.
