THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 25,1868. 7 Art Items. The Mailt artcr or Artists' Club, of Duficldorr. founded by ih late Bmarnl Leutzp, omitted lt annual fcstlYal this year on Recount of his death, the newt of which was rtcclrcd only two days before the festival was to have taken place, and after all tbe arrangements bad been wade. The black flag was run up, and the club woiit Into mourning for eight dajs. The journals of Daneliiort 'and other German cities apeak of the death of tbe artist with rrgret.ln long biographi cal and obituary notice. Mr. Coumant Meyer li painting a large figure Composition of a Sunday School room. The figures are life-size, and the artist hai endea vored to treat tbe subject in a ilmple bnt im pressive style. A lady dressed In black, and with an expression of gentle tadnes on her countenance, is teashlng a little girl of humble appearance, while In the background other figures are seen. Mr. Victor Nehllg has nearly completed a large picture of St. Paul preaching before Agripra, Tbe composition 1i of a classical treat ment, according well with the subject. Romans of stately guiee, some beautiful woman among tbcm, aie seated on tbe tribunal. Draped sages are by, ready with counsel. Several Korean soldiers are included in tbe composition, armed With the peculiar weapons of the period. The preacher, with the imaginary aureole beaming around his bead, stands In an impressive atti tude before the tribuual. Throughout the pic ture tbcie Is a great deal of rich and contrastive color, us well as of tbe vigorous academic draw ing of tbe Fiench school. It .18 raid tbat when Rutliin first saw Church's ' Ninpara," bo pointed out an effect of liRht upon vrat r which be declared he had often aeen in nature, ct-pceially among the Swiss waterfalls, but never before on canvas: and so perfect is the optical illusion of the Iris in the ssme piclure that tbe critical author of the "Modern Painters" went to tbe window aud ex amined the glas?, evidently attributing the pris matic bow to the relraction of the sun. Ti e desifin tor tbe Ltacoln Monument by Laikin (. Meade, Jr., which has been aioptcd by tbo Committee, though not as elaborately ornamented as some others presented, is in ex quisite taste. Tbe die Is 70 feet high, and the total height is 100 feet. The foandation and sub-bane are of granite, and the artist proposes the architectural work to be of Havercconl marble, and the statues of brouz. The obelisk is surmounted by the eagle aud globe. At tbe base a pedettal !? projected in front, on which is a colossal statue ot Lincoln. On a plane below, at tbe four ordinal points, are four pedestals, on which nie groups representing the infantry, cavalry, attillery, and marine arms of the ser vice. Encircling these pedestals ara tablets, on which are. written the Barnes of all tbe States. Thee tablets are Hiked together, and the whole work Indicates that through the wise counsels of the President and the endurance of the soldiers aod sailors, the Union has baen pre served and perpotuated. On the four sides of the base are tablets for inscription. That in front and antler tbe statue bears the name in full Abraham Lincoln. Tbe sub-base is reached by stairs Irom tbe corners of the base, and nnder the base is the crypt for the remains. Tbe door of tbe crypt is also the entrance to the parage and stair way, which ascends the monument in aide. Mies Hosiner's desij.. was an emble matical temple, repiesentiu tbe two grant phases of the war emancipation and tbe pre servation of tbe Union. Mr. II. 0. Yolk's plan provided a receptacle for relics and mementoes connected with the -career of Mr. Lincoln; the monument to be surmounted by rive groups of statuary. Mr. Merrill's was a classic temple. Mr. Leonard W. Volk oflered two mausoleum designs. The contrast with Mr. Meade was executed on Saturday. It provides lor tin erec tion of a mouumcLt at Oak 11 id ire Cemetery, near this city, all the exterior portion to be of granite, and all to be of the most durable mate rial, the sculpture to be of bronze; the founda tion to be completed during the summer and autumn of 186!), and all the architecture on or about the 1st day of January, 1873, and all the sculpture, or any part of it, to be added within four years after. The detailed specifications audwoiking plans are to be furnished on or before the 1st day ot February next, and the 'final contract, is to bo executed Immediately thereafter, Mr. Meade giving ample security for the fulfilment of said contract. Mr. Meade to receive $2000 'or tbe architecture and sculpture. Tbe contract provides lor the building of a crypT suitable and sufficient to contain the remains ot Mr. Lincoln, and for a family tomb. Glgnoux has nearly completed a Long Island sctne, an autumnal effect. There is an open bit ot water ana towiana in front, flanked on each side by a lew trees, whose foliage shows the brightest autumnal colors; they make a sort of framework for the retreating landscape in the background, which is lit up by the warm rays of the sun rising behind a bank of clouds, the little fleecy clouds above showing a rich purple on one Bide aud light and yellowish hues on the other. Bills are in tbe distance, nnd a ioiet-t in tbe middle ground, left partly in (badow. The design of the artist has been to show the Indian summer warmth ot atmosphere and of color. William De Haas has sketched mountain and pastoral scenes during the summer in tbe Susquehanna valley. Among his sketches of mountain scecery peculiar to tbe region, and of striking character, be exhibits a beautiful draw ing of "A Dell Among the Hills," shaded by luxuriant forest tress and towering rocks. A eabject possessing greater breadth and power is sketch of "The Buffalo riange," shown under tbe e fleet of a passing shower. Mr. De Haas has now upon the eael an example entitled "Sunset on the Susquehanna." In it tbe sun is pictured just sinking behind the mountain which lises abruptly in the distance, and its flashing rays light up the landscape with daz zling bnllianey. Tbe suriace of the river in the middle distance catches and reflect the gorge ous color ot the heavens, and sends it back with unabated power. In tbe ioregroand is a tangled mass of shrubbery springing up from a carpet of ferns and wild grasses, over wlmb. is thrown the lengthened shadows of the maple, beech, birch, and the staid sumach, with its cones of scarlet blossoms. At uoupil's Gallery, New York, there is now on exhibition a new picture, painted in Switzer land, by Church. This is the most recent work of this' artist. It is a composition from Mr. Church's tropical sketch s, and gives tbe effect of a sunset behind a low bank of clouds over a luke, wbicb is surrounded by low hills on each side, with mountains In the distance. There is, also, a new and smaller picture by Bierstadt, which represents a casile on the Rhine looming up ngaiUHt the i-ky, in which the light of the setting sun is struggling with floating clouds. The high bills on tbe opposite bide are lit up, while tbe open declivity in front of the castle is loft in twilight shadow. Mr. James M. Hart is flushing bu picture of ''shower and Sunshine," which was begun early last summer. Kuinv-lookint; cloud cover tbe ripbt, on tbe edge ot which a bit of rainbow suggests tbe ormlng sousMre, while on tbe left the sky is clear, save a few light clouds. On a road which comas from the woods on the right into the foreground a farmer is driving a double joke of cattle, attached to a waon, and loose cattle are driven behind. The rond is filled with little pools of water from the recent shower. On the lult is a field of ripe grain, behind which a streum it just disclosed amwug tbe trees. In the dibtance are mountains, and bouses, and . church uuioug tbe trees in tbe middle ground. Mr. Lsndt Thompson has been engaged all summer on bis statueaot Mr. lirjatitand General Sedgwick. He bas in his studio the brooze nlate on wb It'll Is the Inscriprion for the West Point monument to the latter. It is simple and expremive: "Major-licaeral John Sedgwick, U. S. Volun teer, Celonel 4th Cavalry. U. S. Army. Born Sepl. 13, 1813. Killed in battle at Spottsvlvaula, Virginia, May 9, while In comoiaad of tbe 6i h Corps, Aimy of the Potomac.

She has no postal system, and her only means now of communicating information la by courier on land, and by steamers on water. The WtsternWorld knows tbat China Is a very large country, In the main densely peopled; but tew yet realize tbat she contains more than a third of the humau race. The latest returns made to her central authorities for taxing purposes, by the local magis trates, make her population Jbur Hundred and Four teen Milllom, and this Is mere likely to be odder than over the actual aggregate. Nearly all of these who are over ten years old not only can, bat do read and write. Her civilization Is peculiar, bnt her literature is as extensive as that of Europe. China Is a land of teachers and traders; and tbe latter are exceedingly quick to avail tlemselves of every proffered facility for procuring early Information. It is observed In Camoriiia tuui iuo vmuwo uiua imk ubo ui me telegraph, though It there transmits messages In En glish alone To-day, great numbers of fleet steamers are owned by Chinese merchants, and used by them exclusively for tbe transmission of early Intelligence, If tbe telegraph we propose, connecting all tbelr great seaports, were now In existence, It Is believed that Its business would pay Its cost within the first two years of Us successful operation, and would steadily Increase thereafter.

Although this read Is built with great rapidity, tbe work Is thor oughly done, and Is pronounced by the United States Commissioners to be first-class In every respeot, be fore it is accepted, and before any bonds can be issued npon lb Sapidity and excellence of construction have been secured by a complete division of labor and by dis tricting the twenty thousand men emplored along tbe line tor long distances at once. It Is now probable that the WHOLE LIKE TO THE PACIFIC WILL HE COMPLETED LX 1869. The Company have ample means of which the Got ernment grants the right of way, and all necessary timber and other materials found along tbe line of lit operations; also 12,800 acres of land to tbe mile, taken In alternate sections on each side of Its road: also United States Thirty-year Bonds, amounting to from 16,10 to $13,000 per mile, according to tbe dilllcultles to be surmounted on the various sections to be built for wbich It takes a second mortgage as security, and It Is expected tbat not only the Interest, but tbe prin cipal amount may be paid In services rendered by tbe Company In transporting troops, malls, eta THE EARNINGS OF THE UNlONt PACIFIC RAILROAD, from lis Way or Local Suslnesi only during the year ending June 30, li68, amounted to over FOUR MILLION HOLLARS, Which alter paying all expenses was much more than sufficient to pay the Interest npon Its Bonds. These earnings are no Indication of the vast through traffic that must follow the opening of tbe line to the Pacific, but they certainly prove tbat FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS UNANiJIAL. costing nearly three time Upon such a propeity their amount, ARE ENTIRELY SECURE. The Union Pacific Bonds run thirty years, are for 1 1000 each, and have coupons attached. They beat annual Interest, payable on tbe first days of January and July, at the Company's office In the City of New York, at the rate of six per cent. In gold. Tbe prlncl pal Is payable In gold at maturity. The price Is lot and at the present rate ot gold, they pay a liberal Income on their cost. A very Important consideration In determining the value of these bonds Is t'.e length of time they have to run. It Is well known tbat a long bond always commandl much higher price than a short one. It Is safe to assume tbat during the next thirty years, tte rate ot Interest in the United States will decline as It has done in Europe, and we have a right to expect that each six per cent, securities as these will be held at as high a premium as those of this Government, which in 1857 were bought In at from 20 to 2a per cent, above par. The export demand alone may produce this re sult, and as the issae ol a private corporation, they are beyond the reach ot political action. The Company believe that their Bonds, at the pre sent rate, are the cheapest security In tbe market, and tbe right to advance the price at any time Is reserved Subscriptions will be received In Philadelphia by DE HAVEN & BROTHER No. 40 S.
