Edmund Lewis has recently completed two large pictures in his own familiar vein, either of which would illuminate a room by the body of light in it, One represents the Valley of the Wyoming: through the midst of the composition strays the brimming Susquehanna, with prosperous fields swell ing up from its borders on every hand and lifting into hills; an island lies in the middle of the picture, rounded like the back of a camel, and shaggy with the deepest foliage; two fine streams of light blue smoke wan der off from it and dissolve in the hot air, giving the only indication of human pres ence. The sky is full of the flat cirro-cumuli of summer. Everything basks in the deep est, most grateful peace. The other picture is more stimulating : in the left foreground, from a pellette loaded with every gorgeous color, the artist has painted a grove of an cient trees hung with all the decorations of the American autumn. Their fantastic boughs curl through masses of the riches hues, and shed rainbow drops upon the ground beneath. Just beyond spreads the broad Allegheny, quiet as a lake, and hold ing in its depths the misty heavens of Octo ber; on its further side rise ranges of abrupt hills, mantled with the wilderness down to the water's edge, and detaining among their higher ledges the drifts of morning cloud, which drag upward through the dewy defiles in every caprice of form and pearly change of color. This picture Mr. Lewis calls " Morning on the Allegheny." Over both compositions the glowing hand of the artist has moved with all the graceful ease of long practice, setting on every inch of the ample cloth the precise touch that was needed then and there. Mr. Lewis certainly paints with masterly facility, but we think he has ar rived at the point where an artist should begin to examine himself with some appre hension. It is, perhaps, time to fear, when we are able to repeat, with perfect ease and skill, some one master-idea whose inception dates back to a moment of enthusiasm long ago. It is by laying himself open to new enthusiasms, and not by exhausting with endless repetition the established and fovo rite idea, that a landscape-artist keeps his eye alert to the continual confidences of na ture. We have ventured just to say this, in the kindest spirit and in the serene know ledge that nobody reads the didactic half of a paragraph. It would take much harder words to shake the fortunate position Mr. Lewis holds in the ranks of his admirers. Mr. George C. Lambdin is still enamored of the camp, and finds with singular adapta bilitythose phases of soldier-life which touch upon his own region of sentiment and ro mance. In two small color-poems he has just been uttering a slightly new reading of an old thought. First, Mr. Lambdin's own pair of lovers—those perennial young per sona, still young and still enamored—stray through arching boughs, with every air of being well at home and thoroughly com fortable; then, in the companion-picture, the better half of that soft pair is far away, quite sunk beneath the horizon, and the youth is seen alone in camp, sitting near his tent-door, in Booth's first attitude as Ham let. His inward feelings have soaked quite through, and made two shades - deeper the Ordinary army-blue he wears.: Aladdin's palace was incomplete without the roc's egg. e Directors this day C.

JEFF. DAVIS. HIS FRIENDS IN TROUBLE. All Employes of the Government .and Others Formerly in the Rebel Service Ordered from For tress Monroe and Its Precincts. They Are Marched Away Under Guard. reorrotpondenee of the N. Y. Herald.] FORTRESS MONROE, January 15 1866. A new and perhaps the most exciting tea- Lure in the Jeff. Davis rescue excitement thus far has just presented itself, and a regular bombshell it has proved to be—a solid shot, spherical case, schrapnel and grape and canister combined. It is not to be wondered at. Its effects have come home to the bosoms and hearts of many nnanticipative of, and therefore wholly un prepared for, this dropping in among them of such an explosive projectile. Casting aside metaphorical mysticism and coming down to plain matter of fact, the whole story sums itself up briefly in this: Major General Miles, commanding the fort and district,yesterdayireceived an order from the Secretary of War, directing the immediate discharge of all government employes for merly in the rebel service, and to see to it that they speedily render themselves invisi ble hereabout. The order went a step further than this. Against all persons in private business or employ, or found in any capacity within the precincts of the point, who had done the confederacy service in the days of its struggling revolt, this ban of ofostracism was likewise directed. Of course the first thing was to find how many would come under this order. While the beads of the Engineer, Ordnance, Quartermaster and Commissary Departments were making out their list of employes once in the rebel ser vice, and making their own verbal expla nations to the commanding general, stores, shops, boarding and lodging .houses were being searched for quondam bearers of Con federate muskets and wearers of Confederate gray. Among all the departments about twenty five were reported as entitled to tickets of leave under the mandatory telegram from Secretary Stanton referred to above. Most of these came from the Ordnance Depart ment. At the head of this gang was a clerk in one of the workshops, a defiant youngster, who has made himself very con spicuous by devoted persistence in wearing his rebel uniform. Among the throng was also a son of the Rev. Dr. Chic's, Post Chaplain here for a good many years past. He was in the Tredegar Iron Works at Richmond during the early part of the war and a member of the Tredegar Guard. But, for all this, his father says that he never fired a gun against a 'Union sol dier, and is as firmly loyal to-day as the most loyal man in the country. Included in the list is, I am told, one obtaining his situation here by a special written applica- tion of Lieutenant General Grant. It is likely the order may prove severe and un just upon some; but it made no exceptions, and had to be carried out to the letter. Some are married and have families here. It is upon this class especially the order proves the hardest. Most are young men, and they assume a careless indifference at being sent away. Not particularly comforting or flattering was the mode of departure meted out to these whilom shining lights of the con federacy. A mounted guard from the fort acted as their escort. They were marched together across Mill Creek bridge, and thence to Hampton, from which place they are to rind their way to remote regions elsewhere with the utmost possible despatch. The search outside the government de partment workshops was not very remu nerative. A store—where Arnold, one of Lincoln assassination conspirators, was for merly employed—it was thought would suffer.in its clerical force by this order; but it so happens that the store has recently changed proprietors, and its present clerks are all loyal. Only two were gathered up outside. One of these was the agent of the National Express, opening his office here only a few days since. This gentleman joined in the march to Hampton; but sub sequently took steamer to Richmond, where he was doubtless going to report to the ex rebel General Johnston, President of his company, for instructions in the premises. An order supplementary to the one above mentioned has been issued. This latter order prohibits the employment within the Fortress grounds in future of any one serv ing the rebels in any capacity during the war, and also forbids allowing any such to land here. It is of course clear why the orders I have described have been issued. Foremost the politic and palpable object is to throw addi tional hindrance in the way to carrying to successful end the alleged plot to rescue Jeff. Davis from prison. If such plot exists the easy way to carry it out is through help from within the Fortress, through the aid of traitors in the camp. To weed out all such possible traitors in or about the fort was the obvious design of the first order, and that of the second to prevent any future foothold being gained here by any Part of the conspirators. It is not unlikely that before thb thing is through with there will be more weeding still to be done, and most thorough searching ofrecorth and ante cedents. As the case stands those who would rescue Davis must bravely face the music, and submit themselves a sacrifice as cheer fully as that far-famed band at the renowne4 gates at Thebes. There has been no let up yet in search of all vessels coming into port, and watching their movements after their arrival. It still continues an unremunerative undertaking, at least as regards finding any one upon whom sufficient suspicion can attach war ranting an arrest. This rumor of a plot to rescue Jeff Davis; bad, I am told, its origin in Washingtori. No one here feels the slightest apprehension Of danger from the probable carrying out of any such plot. I very much fear that if Jeff Davis has to stay in prison until he is rescued through successful storming of the fort by his Mends, the limit of his natural OITR WHOLE 0017NTRY. • life ticone will be the limit of his •sojourn here. CaPtain • Bennett, of the g(?vernment steamer 8. 0. Pierce, reports, in coming down the James river to-day, seeing the ruins of the tug Thomas Bonita, just north ofe Chickahominy. She was burned to the ater's edge. No one was upon the wr , but there can be no question of the ti safety of the crew. , As the steamers are about leaving for the North, a hail storm is raging, clouding the sky and presaging a wild and dangerous night on the water. A northeasterly wind accompaniewthe storm of hail, WAsarrierrou, Jan. 16, 1866.--Gen. Miles, commanding at Fortress Monroe. has re ceived orders to remove tne present com mander of the arsenal al that place. His having employed a number of late rebels as laborers in the arsenal gave rise to a suspi cion that an attempt to liberate Jeff. Davis was premeditated and has cause his remov al. No overt act is alleged to have been committed. Another Fire at Merrick's Foundry-The Alain Boiler Shop Destroyed. This morning, between three and four o'clock, a fire broke out in the main boiler shop at Merrick cti Sons' foundry, at Fifth and Washington street. The building was located on Washington street, about half way between Fourth and Fifth, occupying a space of about 150 feet on that thoroughfare. It was about 50 feet in width and at the rear of the end towards Fourth street were some frame attachments used forstoring patterns, the whole forming an L. The structure was frame and was not of much value, but it contained considerable machinery used for the manufacture of boilers, and a valuable planing machine. Owing to the combustible nature of the building the flames spread rapidly at first, but then burned stubbornly, and the fire men were kept in service for several hours. The boiler house and attachments were entirely destroyed, and the machinery was either ruined or greatly damaged. The structure is a complete wreck. The most of the patterns were also destroyed. They will constitute the principal loss. The pat terns were to have been removed to one of the new fire-proof buildings in a day or two. An estimate of the loss could not be made this morning, but it will not. exceed $15,000 or $20,000 and is covered by insurance. It will be remembered that a destructive tire occurred at this establishment on the 17th of May last. At that time nearly all the principal shops except the boiler shop were demolished. Alt the buildings de stroyed then, have since been replaced by substantial fire proof structures and the boiler shop destroyed this morning was the only one of the old establishment left. Plans for a new building to take its place are now in preparation and the structure was to have been pulled down in the spring, The tire of this morning will not interfere with the operations of the firm, as work will be immediately commencedl in the boiler shop on Federal street. . The fire was discovered by a man who gave the alarm to the watchman on the pre mises. The man is requested to call upon Fire Marshal Blackburn. SOLDIERs' FAMILIES.

The room was well filled with children, and many of their parents, as well as other spectators were present. All seemed well pleased, and enjoyed the occasion. A beautiful tree, adorned with flags and cornucopias, was a great feature in the affair. These occasions are always looked forward to with pleasure by the children of the school,and aresources of benefit to them. This school is in a flourishing condition, and numbers more than one hundred Lildren. The entire school of the church, in both branches, is ably managed, and of them the congrega tion has need to be proud. linEADrur. Aoczniorr.—At a late hour yes terday afternoon a little girl, aged about five years, daughter of a Mr. Bozarth re siding on Fourth street below Mickle, while playing in the basement kitchen, had her clothes take fire, and when she was discov ered she was so terribly burned that she died in a few hours. Her little body was roasted into a complete crisp, and her head had swolen to twice its original size. The child's mother was also lying very low at the time of the accident. The fire was com municated to her clothing from some rags, which a little boy about her own age was burning. They were alone in the kitchen, and what was singular neither of them made any noise or called for help. Env RAILROAD TRAIN. —Through 'the in strumentality of Judge Yorke, Treasurer of the West Jersey Railroad, the Camden and Amboy Company have added another train to run between Camden and Trenton, form ing a close connection with the lines on the West Jersey road.

An Appeal from Tennessee. LOOK OCT MouNTALN, Ga., Jan. 5, 1866. Jos. PARKER, SECRETARY AA' ERICA N UNION COMMISSION—Dear Sir—Sad, heavy hearts on Lookout Mountain look to you for relief, as starvation must -- visit some families here _unless help iaextended. The family of the .blind man, Mr. Lowry; the iamily of the lame man, Mr. Camp; the family of the sick man, Mr. Conger, the :amily of Dr. Jackson, the writer, formerly for six years a Missionary of the American Sunday School Union, of whom Rev. R. B. Westbrook, of New York city, former Sec retary of the Union can give information, or Rev. Thomas McCallis, Presbyterian pastor [at Chattanooga, must sutfer,as money to buy the necessaries of life is not obtaina ble. The 'destruction of the winter's crops by the army, together with the loss of oxen, mules, Ltc.; and all efforts to obtain means to support my family having failed, I see no prospect of relief, unless God, to whom I continually look, cause your society to afford some timely aid. Can money be sent to purchase food for the families named above. Yours respectfully, P. S.—lf I can once more obtain a footing by which I can contribute to the stream of benevolence, I feel assured that I shall pour into the stream far more than I would now wish drawn from it.

Morrell, says the New York Tribune, is an extensive producer of iron at Johnstown, Pa., whom The Evening Post saw fit to have a tilt with. Mr. Morrell turns upon his saga lant, and says in sub stance: The question of protection is purely a labor question, since the cost of a ton of iron is almost entirely made up of the labor which produces it. I can make iron as cheap as my British rivals, if you will sup ply me with labor at the prices they pay; but since I have to pay more than double, while the cost of transporting my iron to the great seaboard cities is about the same as that of bringing British iron from the producers to the same Markets, I can't make iron without protection so long as I must pay $2 per daSt for labor for which my British rival pays less than $l. When you say Free Trade, then yon mean either that I shall not make iron at all or that my workmen shall receive no higher wages than those employed by my British rivals; which is it?' It seems to us that Mr. Morrell—though a business man purely, and not a logician by trade—puts his op ponents into a dilemma wherefrom they can with difioulty extricate themselves. THE WOOLEN MAHDFACTIIRE.—The re port of the Secretary of the National Asso ciation of Wool Manufacturers states that returns were received up to the 25th of Octo ber of 917 woolen mills, with 4,100 sets of cards and a weekly consumption of scoured wool of 2,225,545 pounds, of which 1,619,038 pounds was domestic,• 6.13,497 pounds, or 24 per cent. foreign wool; 550 pounds scoured wool is the weekly average per set.

FETIIERSTON. Publister. DQUBLE SHEET, THREE CENTS. Dr. C. C. JACKSON Among the problems of high science which the Doctor presents in it, is the start ling assertion that the friction of the tides upon its surface, retards the earth's revolu tion• upon its axis, or holds it back with a feriae of six thousand millions of horse powers. Hence it is easy to see that with out some counter force, the globe must rotate slower and al ower i untll its revolutions whol ly cease. Then with perpetual night upon one side, and a degree of cold far below any now known, we should have on the ether "fervent heat" from the sun which would melt the rocks and make the mountains run like water. But we need feel no alarm. He shows a counter poise which nearly balances this resistance, and will maintain, substantially, the present mundane condi tion, through ages upon ages yet to come. Morrzy RECOVERED.—Seven - thousand dollars of the money recently stolen from the house of Mr. William Earhart, of Blairs ville, Indiana county , Pa., has been recov- , ere& It was found by a son of Mr. John: Stitt, hid under a loose board in the stable of Mr. Alexander Graff, in the .vicinity 9f Mr. E's ' ,residence.

To-morrow even ing Mr. Richard Smith, the scenic artist, has his benefit. THE Ancn.—"Fortunio" will be repeated this evening, with a comedy and a farce. THE Weractrr.—Mrs. John Wood appears this evening. in "London Assurance" and in "Jenny Lind." AMERICAN THBATRE.—The CirellEltroupe. with the Bedouin Arabs, still draw good houses. Tau SnErnrx..—No doubt can exist bat that the best novelty in the way of "phe nomenal magic" which Hr. Heller is nightly displaying.to wondering crowds at Concert Hall 41 the Sphynx. Undoubtedly it is a decided puzzler to those whe see it. A head without, a body; in other words, a bust can very easily be placed upon a table. But when the table aforesaid has its less uncovered, its face so shallow as to contain no drawer of any reasonable dimensions, and is sufficiently removed from the cur tain behind it to make it well-nigh impas sible that any body can be attached to the head, it positively becomes a modern miracle that the aforesaid head can open its eyes yawn, speak, take its glass of sherry, smoke its cigar and, in other words, disport and entertain itsPlf and its audience, as if it belonged to the rational complement of body, arms, hands, legs and feet. Indeed, where the several portions of this spectral head's remaining members may be is a. serious question; also,how Heller contrived to capture this head; moreover in what manner he 'managed to make it speak; again, where the sherry it swallows really goes, are questions which may puzzle the acutest observers. ASSEMBLY BUILDING.-Blitz is still triumphant at Tenth and Chestnut streets. He gives day performances on Wednesday and Saturday, in addition to his evening entertainments. Facts and Fancies. The Richmond Times gets off a pretty hard one on the well-known modesty of the F. F. V's when it says, with becoming solemnity • " General Lee, yesterday after noon, yielded to the vehement demand of his admiring friends, and delivered a short address, which was characterized by that modesty and chaste sentiment that is ever graceful to the feelings of a Virginia audi tory." We admit that the Virginians were considerably chased, during the war, but where does the modesty come in ? Gerald Massey's father is an active canal boatman. Does it follow that both father and son have a donkey at the end of their lines ? They kill rats by electricity in Paris.' Shocking! Mothers are feasting on their infants in India—no other food. Here, a child thinks nothing of eating its pap. Reno City, Pa.,is to be celebrated by the sinking 0(200 oil wells there. If they sue ceed, the place is to be called Rhino City. The Boston Board of Aldermen have adopted an order prohibiting horse railroad companies from removing snow from the tracks within the limits of the city, without first obtaining permission of the superin tendent of streets and the committee on paving. We are not much troubled with our railway companies in that way. Ketchum, Son ik Co. have taken down their signs in New York. Edward Ketch um's "signs" turned out so very unreliable that nobody is going to Hire 'ern. President Lincoln, on being told by cer tain rebel sympathizers that the Confed. army would soon make its headquarters in Philadelphia, simply replied, •'U-lie!-ses Grant!" Soldiers' Families: To the Editor of the Evening Bulletin:— It would be a great convenience to many that I am aiding, to have some grocery stores in the northern, north-eastern and north-western sections of our city, where they could get their orders put up near where they reside. One in the neighbor hood of Fairmount, one on or near Broad street, about Green or Coates, one on Second street near Frankford road, and one in Port Richmond and West Philadelphia. Let respectable grocers from these quar ters send me their names, with the price 6 which they will charge soldiers' widows and orphans, and I will send orders to them which I will redeem every week on being presented.
