THE DAILY EVENING TELEQKAPII PHILADELPHIA, Til U IIS DA ST, SEITKMBKR 2, 1869. unw-ToanisLis. Prom Our Own Cvrrttjxmamu New York, Sept. 2, 18a!). rtaln Albert Defcroot, who Is not altogether unknown to fame, and who might be excused tor thinking that the sun rises and nets for Commodore Vandcrbilt, has Just finished a work upon which he has been engaged for two years and one week, and which has reduced hlin from one hundred and ninety pounds weight to one hundred and forty, lie Is a nlco, plausible man, takes well with newspaper people, has a jolly, sociable way, and spreads extensive "feed," at which champagne flows like water and wit flows like champagne. The work upon which he h:is been engaged is The Allrsnrlrnl lt-prpcnnlon of Commodore Innricrbill' in Jlron.o. He showed me the completed design of it yex- terday afternoon, and I should have been de lighted with it even if ho had not asked mo immediately afterwards to partake at 4 P. M. of a collation that he had provided at a certain place in St. John's Park. I declined the colla tion. I always do. But I admired tho bronze. The work is stupendous. The figure of Vandcr bilt U particularly good. Tho bronze chef d'wuvre will occupy tho top of the front of the new depot erected on tho site of old St. John's Park. Over half a million of dollars have already been expended upon it. In honor of its having been completed, some of the best repre sentatives of Getham journalism yosterday afternoon partook of tho Degroot collation, and recovered Mifliclcntly to go to their evening work comparatively sober. But let me In a few words be as explicit as possil ,1c upon a subject which is really very Interesting and im portant. During the past month fifty men have been secretly employed in erecting this bronze work on the north wall of the new Hudsom Hiver Kailroad Depot. It contains Commodore Van dcrbilt's life in bronze. The project was con ceived in 1807 by Captain Albei t Tcgroot, the builder of the Prcscott House on Broadway, and the former commander of the Reindeer, the Niagara, and other Hudson river steamboats. He secured the services of Mr. Ernest Plussman, one of tho most Bklllful artists In tho country, and an immense foundry was built for the pur pose of making the castings. Ten mouths elapsed before tho models were completed. Last September the work was cast in smarc sec tions of manageable size. The various parts were securely boxed up, and by means of an immense scaffolding hoisted to their places and held there by more than 2000 iron anchors, weighing more than four tons. Tho completed work covers more than 3125 square feet, in a straight line, and thirty-one feet in extreme height, weighs nearly 100,000 pounds, nud costs, as I have said, more than $500,000. It consists of an immense bronze statue of Commodore Vandcrbilt, which occupies the centre, and which Is surrounded by those scenes which symbolize his progress from his youth to his old age. It is twelve feet high, nearly solid, weighs four tons, and is probably the largest in the world. It follows the well known photograph by Brady, and represents the Commodore with head uncovered, wearing a heavy, fur-trimmed overcoat, his left foot slightly advanced, his right hand inserted beneath his vest, and his left extended. The bas-relief Is ten feet high, and terminates in massive scroll work, representing leaves and plants. On the right hand is illustrated the Commodore's marine life, on the left his railroad life. At the right are Neptune, grasping a rudder, and the Pali sades of the Hudson, with Drcd, the little two masted "perryaugur," in which, fifty years ago, Vandcrbilt carried passeugers from New York to Staten Lslaud at two shillings a head. It would be tedious to follow the allegory through in all Its minute details. It is sullieleut to say that both the marine and the railroad life of tho Commodore arc followed out on a scale at once gigantic and minute, and that the result is a ma.itcrpiecc in bronze such as was never before witnessed in this country. Governor IIofTmnn was in town yesterday. 1 saw him walking down Broadway alone, and as unconcernedly as though he were only Mayor, instead of Oovornor, and in the habit of signing orders "O. K.," as Mayor Oakey Hall, I ought to eay.is in the habit of doing. Tliis Is what it is to have a man of genius (instead of a man of judgment) for Mayor. Your men of genius are always sinners against the proprieties. Give them a hinch as an Englishman once said to me), and they take a hell or send you to it. Count Johanne has been writing one of his characteristic three column letters to the Ilcrald in defense of Lord Byron. That gentleman (Count Johannes, not Lord Byron ) always puts one In mind of "Mr. Solomons" In Tlie Stranger, the amount of cor respondence and the degree of intimacy he man ages to keep up with distinguished people in all quarters of the world being something truly amazing. His present pretensions in regard to Lord Byron tiro that he was well acquainted with his half sister, Mrs. Colonel Leigh, and mildly Intimates that Queen Victoria and ho were not far from nobuobbing together over his Lordship's character and Mrs. Leigh's tea and toast. The Count says he would dofcid Lord Byron's character to the death, if necessary. Ho floes a great deal better in having defended it to the life. I am sure no one in New York could ' do it better, although if the defense came to bo lccide(l bv mortal combat the Count would pre- lialilv flud that the peii Is mightier than tho sword, or the pistol cither, for that matter. There is only one man better known in New York newspaper ollicca than Cuuut Johanucs (with that brown wig and that black coat), and that man is Daniel Pratt, the great American tra veller. Every editor feels like travelling when Piatt or the Count comes around. I thought Annie I.oiimIuIc, the plump Miultrette, was dead long ago, but now it seems -lie is to play the pari of "Mrs. linker, in Formosa, at Niblu's. The last time I saw her was eight or nine vears ago at the then Continental Theatre, iu Philadelphia on Walnut street, above J-.lnlitli. tsho was then saucy, blooming, and obese. She must now be fair, fat, and 1 am afraid to say ut what "lustre" the remaining f would Hunch me: but report fays that her complexion Is jiiht as fresh and her smile just as rippling us ilicy were ten years ago. e shall see. Mrs. Stanton wants Ida Lewis to come to New York and open A I'unbkounUlo Kivliimilng School for YomiK I think the idea Is a good one, looking at it in a strictly business point of view. "Young Ladles' Natatonum would look well, and I dare say, ven if the project did not gueceed aeeordlug to Mrs. Stanton s expectations, It would at least ret along swimmingly. Theodore Tllton W de termined, if be has any Influence, that, when his Ideal negro woman becomes Prcsldentess of the republic, Miss Ida Lewis shall be Socrctarycss of the Navy. Every time I see Horace fJrrelcr I expect to seo the sawdust roll out of him, for ho looks moro and more like a great disjointed doll. He regularly makes his appearance in front of tho Tribune ofUcc about noon, as though ho were bent on taking it by storm, and bearing an Immense portmanteau, which it Is the un alterable conviction of tho bootblacks and uews boys contains his editorials for the day. This account of II. G. is strictly voracious, and I hope those editors who do mo the honor of copying my remarks will give due credit there for. This pattern of giving credit is one that I am proud of scttlug, and I herewith commend it to those editors who copy my letters, and do riot copy ahem I my example. Ai r B aha.
