[Correspondence of the Evening Bulletin.] WILLTAN/SPORT, PA., April 21.—Leaving Philadelphia by the nine o'clock night train, a comfortable double-lower berth in the sleeping car insured us a sound night's sleep, only to wake up a little after six o'clock,fuid excellent washing apparatus in the car, and arrive at this place at seven o'clock. Here we were served with a good bieakfast by attentive waiters at the Herdic House, immediately opposite the stopping place of the cars. A Philadelphian feels a conscious pride in the liberal manner with which the Penn sylvania Railroad Company conducts not only its own road, but the Philadelphia and Erie road, which it has leased. A company enabled by its capital to build solid roads, keep them in the best order and furnish the best cars and locomotives in the country, should be a source of pride to every Pennsylvanian, and receive from him the earnest encouragement it deserves for the benefits it confers. We may well • reflect on the immense traffic, lately opened by finishing the road to Erie, which will be lost to us, if roads like the Great Western are to be encouraged and allowed to carry to New York the materials that should give in their manufacture support to our own skillful mechanics. No principle of law or justice would permit a man to leali aside for his use the water of an aqueduct supplied from a fountain-head and running through the ground of another, and yet we are willing to see our great channel of State-produce tapped by New Yorkers, and used for their, and their foreign friends', es pecial benefit. In traveling over the Pennsylvania road as far as Harrisburg, and the Philadelphia and Erie road to this place, this question of encouragement and protection to theseroads comes home to the traveler not only in its commercial and industrial,but in the conse quent progressive development called into ceing by one live, active and energetic asso ciation. The freight trains loaded with lumber, coal, petroleum and agricultural products passing towards Philadelphia, in sure by their sale a wealth for the por ducers that must elevate the mode of living and refine the lives of the producer. Whore, before the whistle of the locomotive was heard, was the rude hut of the lumberman now rises the cosy home of refinement and :location. : 1 the men engaged in foreign commerce in Philadelphia were to display a grain of the enterprise shown by the managers of our great railroads. Philadelphia would not long remain second to New York in any respect. The raw material raised in our State brought over our railroads and manu factured in our great cities, should find in our ships transferment to foreign ports in payment for foreign articles of food that we really require. While the New York Sa tanic Press in articles such as thh on "American Manufactures" in the Herald of 19th instant, laughs at the imbecility which allows New York to grow rich by drawing the life blood from other States, by permitting her to manufacture and ship their raw products, we of Pennsylvania, blindly help them on by permitting New Yorkers and foreigners to attempt the ruin of onr State, by encouraging such roads as the Great Western road to draw off from our own manufacturers the raw materials, and thus attempt the prostration of our rail road companies and the ruin of our manu facturers. The several articles that have appeared in the DTLLETIN in relation to the places of summer resort along the Pennsylvania Rail road, deserve something more than passing attention ; they should arouse our citizens to the active exertion of seeing for them selves what Nature has reserved, until the present time, comparatively unknown to them. Beautiful valleys enclosed by wooded hills,and laurel-covered mountain; down whose sides the clear, fast-running brooks are the resorts of theLspeekled trout; and in whose marshy spots are found the snipe in Spring;, and woodcock in Jaly and Autumn ; all these attract the sportsman, while the weary citizen, with his family, would find a thousand retreats from the heat of summer along the line of the Penn sylvania road, and within a half hour, an hour, or two hours' ride of the city. The noblest State-Rights' doctrine is the advocacy of the right of every man to earn a competency, with intelligence to enjoy, education to ornament, instruction to dig nify, and honor to ennoble it. One of the most powerful means to guarantee such rights to all, by introducing commerce to manufactures, and manufactures to raw products, is the railroad; and ;intelligent legislation cannot do too much to encour age the entire opening of every , I part - of the State to the advantage of their possession, or to their proper protection when once in operation. With the intention of writing you more fully from Erie,in:relation to present the ap pearance and future prospects of that future Great City of the Lake. Yours,a. P. L. SOMETHING NEW.—The Newnan (Ga.) Herald publishes an application to the County Ordinary for letters of administra tion by a colored man, on the estate of a de ceased friend. This is the first instance of the kind under the law passed by the last Georgia Legislature. HERR EGERSTOFF, of Hanover, an exten sive engine manufacturer in Germany, has withdrawn his proposal to send specimens of his engines to the Paris Exhibition,on the ground that the Emperor has appointed a child to be president of the exhibition, and that the exhibitors had thereby been sub jected to treatment which no German espe cially should willingly submit to. MESSRS. ALLEN & CO. have arrived at New Orleans from Calcutta to open a direct trade line of ships with New Orleans. The company is composed of Englishmen, who say there is much demand for timber and Western products, bacon, hams, oil, ezc., in the East Indies. They promise to bring back gunny cloth, teas, coffee, spices, and all kinds of &wearies. PENNSYLVANIA ACADEMY OF THE FINE ARTS. Forty-Third Annual Exhibition. Under certain circumstances there ii something peculiarly touching in the first view of a Fine Art Gallery, where the pie-: tures are fresh from the studios of the artists, and where you feel that but a few weeks ago the creators of this shady corner Of a tangled wood and of the sweetly pen sive face that hangs in yonder recess were giving the last loving touches to conceptions upon the success of which their future suc cess in art may be depending. The privitta view of our Academy was held on last Saturday evening, and as usual the quiet observer may have seen much that told of disappointed hope. For instance, here is an artist in conversation with a gen tleman who is evidently a connoisseur. "Where is your picture placed ?" is the in quiry one cannot help overhearing. In answer thereto the painter casts his eyes aloft, and there, perched upon the highest line, is the object sought for. The motto of my picture has been "Excelsior," the artist remarks, judging from the pinnacle it now occupies; it is unfortunate that I cannot furnish the public with step-ladders. With this he smiles sadly and is lost to us in the crowd. The gay visitors smile recognition to each other, chat pleasantly about this or that picture, and go home carrying pleasant reminiscences with them; but it strikes us that in cases like the one we have men tioned; the souvenir will be of a slightly different character. Happily these things are not of very frequent occurrence, hang lug committees being generally composed of gentlemen who accomplish their duty impartially. This year, however, the dis satisfaction is general, and there are many complaints of partiality for the favorites of the hanging committee. Next in order of preferenee come the New York and foreign artists, thus rendering it necessary to place many worthy conceptions of our own painters in inferior positions. The watchword of the Academy should be, " Encouragement to Philadelphia Art." Two prominent artists of our city, Messrs. Thomas and Edward Moran, have recently contributed to the New York Spring Exhi bition some of their best works. It was thought proper by those in charge of that establishment to give thesegentlemen's pic tures such elevated places, that it is a matter of regret to their admirers that they were ever confided to the hands of a strange com mittee. Now, the moral of this is plain. If the Directors of the National Gallery appre ciate the importance of favoring their own artists, it is safe to assume that the adoption of a similar policy here would be attended with the most beneficial results. We trust that hereafter the Academy will show some energy in protectingThiladelphia Art. We are tired of seeing this Institution display ing such indifference to those who have a right to look to it for support. Our citizens are prepared and eager to buy works of art. Then, it is the duty of the Managers to fos- . ter the talent that is amongss, instead of creating a receptacle for the unsold works of' European studios. In our desire for the prosperity for the amiable brotherhood who inhabit our city, we have spoken earnestly in the matter, and if any benefit result from our remarks, we shall rest contented. The exhibition of this year, taken as a whole, is not equal to any previous one that we remember. Many of the pictures have so often figured in auctions, ttc., ttc., that they may be truly termed "old stagers." This fact of course dims the novelty of the display. In the southeast gallery the most prominent picture in size and position is Kuwassey's fine rendering of the "Monte Morra Alps." It is a noble subject,grandly heated; the white-capped peaks in the dis tance contrasting beautifully with the rich grey tones of the foreground. The painting of the rocks is a fine illustration of the tech nical ability of the artist. The highest merit of the work consists, however, in the spirit of quiet and solitude pervading the entire scene. It is one of the lions of the gallery. It will not be considered a jen, de mots, we hope, when we say that Mr. H. C. Bisp ham's contribution (No. 554) may receive the same appellation; in factiso very leonine is this specimen of animal painting that we rather shudder at the wild glare of the eyes of the Forest King, and get out of range as quickly as pOssible. We have gazed on it long enough to assure ourselves that it will be long before the artist surpasses this pro duction. "Before the Bath" (58S), by Bouquereau, of Paris, is a good picture. We would call it charming, but that does not mean any thing. Young ladies use the term so often and ct tout propos. Therefore let us be con tent in saying that the thawing is as nearly perfect as anything we have seen, with this exception: the woman's hand is conven tional, academical, and would be more in place were the subject of the picture a Duchess, instead of a mother of the Italian peasant class. No. 517, Mr. Faulkner's large picture of "Ben Nevis," is a good representation of the artist's ability, careful and yet vigorous in execution with good general effect. His smaller productions that we have seen on former occasions were very popular. We regret that he has not some 01 them in the present exhibition. Mr.E. D.Lewis ifihere represented by a very large work (No. 532). Edge of a forest on the Susquehanna (early morning). It pos sesses all the good qualities of this artist, and all the usual imperfehtions. A rapid execution distinguishes Mr. Lewis, and a most remarkable aptitude for seizinga good subject; but on the other band he paints his own idea of nature, and not nature as she I really is. The proof of this i found in the fact that all his pictures are the same, with this exception, that his cloud v lied mountain, or graceful clump of trees (as the case may be), is sometimes found on the right hand corner near the frame, sometimes on the left, and occasionally in the middle. Yet it is always the same song played in a differ-. ent key, with a running accompaniment, where Lewis predominates. Notwithstand ing, we admire his talent and trust that an earnest candor , in regard to it will not be lost upon him. .No. 521.—"0n the Head Waters of the Conemaugh," Hetzel. The water in this picture is most successfully rendered. Were it not for a nuance of crudity in the color of the foliage, the picture would be a perfect success. No. 521—" Caravan overtaken by a sand storm in the Desert," by C. G. Rosenberg. This picture possesses many high qualities, one of which the artist would willinglyhave transferred to the hanging committee's pro ductions. Nevertheless, he may rest assured that its position does not prevent its merits from being appreciated by those who seek excellence without regard to position on the walls. • Dir. S. Rintes poetic treatment of OUR WHOLE COUNTRY "Evelyn Hope" is quite hors ligne in merit, and finds many admirers. Passing to the Northeast Gallery the pro minent centre is occupied by Mr. Bother mel's "Paul preaching at Athens." The co loring is, of course, the chief technical merit of this conception, but we would not be un derstood to intimate that the drawing and expression are more than usually defective. We select the matchless richness of the flesh tints,; the silvery pearliness of the greys, and the general effect of tone, because we know none in the country who can compare with him in this specialty. . When we had proceeded thus far through our intended perambulations through the galleries we found that the company that had filled the place to overflowing early in the evening had departed. An excited in dividual now made his appearance, whose object (judging from the manner in which. he flourished a long pole furnished with a hook at the end) we presumed to be the ex tingushing of the gas lights. It was time to go, and we left slowly and with the "air distingut" that is proper to an art critic. Affairs in Union Square. Latest Reports from the Border Capture of Arms by the United States The bubble of Fenianisrn appears to have really burst. True, o'.Mahony is still at Union Square, but we no longer hear of the receipt or large sums of money, no rumor of warlike preparations are afloat, no 'mass meetings are being or to be held, the pro phecies of the arrival of Stephens and the conquest of Canada, or fighting in Ireland, in Bermuda, in Australia, in India, and the centre of Africa, have not been fulfilled, and consequently the Irish bonds are few and far below par, and even the most enthusi astic Fenians begin to lose confidence in the movement. The principal work of the Union-square authorities at present consists in supenntending a fair which is being held in Germania Hall for the benefit of the families of the Irish State prisoners. Bond agents and cabinet officers have thrown aside the cares of State and are there in conjunc tion with the Ladies of the "Red Hand" Circle, engaged in soliciting their Fenian admirers who happen to visit them "to put down their names for a chance in a breast pin, a silver pitcher or a picture of the Colonel." It is said that General Killian arrived in the city from Fastport, Maine, last evening, bringing with him the entire funds and leaving his confreres to pay their own expenses on the little excursion back. The rank and file are dispirited at the dm duct of C..e leaders, and probably hencefor- N..-ard the_ ewill be a very sensible diminu lion in t ';ie receipts of the Treasury Depart nent. Vozens daily go to the headquarters of the 011ahony party, demanding their money, which they allege to have given under the expectation that hostilities were to be commenced a month ago; but the fol lowers of the Head-Centre very soon eject the disaffected parties, and send them howling into East Seventeenth street. Hun dreds of others would make similar de mands had they not been intimidated by the cry of "British spy" and "Tmtor to Ire land," with which the officials of the Moffat Mansion assail every one who happens to differ from them. The Roberts-Sweeny men are making very serious preparations fora march on Canada. They keep their movements entirely secret, and only solicit not money but cartridges, o. 58, of which they say they require about 5,000,000. Before two weeks this party shall have taken some definite action. Sweeny intends "to move" about the first of May,,, and promises "victory" or "death." Gen. Mullen, who adhered to the Union square colors, has resigned his position there, and left for the West, where it is said he de-, livers lectures pronouncing the whole thing a "humbug." Still O'Mahony has a few adherents left, bui the great majority now seem to look to Roberts as the only hope of Ireland and Fenianism. Latest from Eastport. [Correspondence of the World.] EASTPORT, April:22th.—Everything quiet here. There are no prospects of a fight, and the men and officers are discontented. The Fenian force is distributed as follows: Calais, 32; Roberton ' s, 33; Eastport, 100; Pember ton's, 18. The officers are not veterans, and the whole is under the command of civilians. Seven hundred and seventy arms is the number captured by the United States Go- vernment. Gen. Meade has attended a sacred concert given by the ladies to-night. Great excitement prevails in St. Stephens. A new barrack has been condemned and and another one is to be built. [Correspondence of the Tribune.] CALAIS, Me., April 19, 1866.--The arrival 0114 Irishmen at Calais two weeks ago, who, two days later, were joined by 32 others, all of whom are supposed to be Fenians, threw the Provincial authorities and people into a fever of excitement, and thus was initiated the "Fenian war on the borders." The 46 Fenians quietly distributed themselves along the river St. Croix, from Eastport to Calais, taking quarters at hotels and in private families. It is reported, with Born blame of truth at least, that the object was, primarily, to "establish Fenian circles, and to recruit for the Irish Republic." On Friday, Mr. B. Doran Killian, attended by two young men, arrived at Eastport,and entered their names on the hotel registers with titles affixed, indicating that they were officers of the Irish Republic. This caused great excitement in Eastport, which soon extended up the river and across to the Provincial towns. Their names were sub sequently erased from the book, in order to allay the excitement in and about the hotel. The steamer New Brunswick, from Bos ton, which arrived on Tuesday, April 10, brought a number of strangers, all of whom Were supposed to.be Fenians, and were es timated to number about eighty men. In the evening of the same day, the following address was circulated among the Fenians: EASTPORT, Me., April 10, 1866.—The President of the Convention hereby thanks the Delegates for their promptness and dis cipline, and trusts that, while waiting in structions from the Central Office, the Dele gates will make due allowance for the civic inconveniences. All has been done that could be done to consult their comfort, and the President need only, in farther sustain ment of his zeal, allude to the very many downright hardships and sufferings neces sarily undergone by our soldiers in the late war—sufferings and privations lengthened WolvwiLvi6EAMl'Ml New York. Authorities. [From the Newyork 'Tribune, of April =Li and intensified owing to English neutrality. He has no doubt, however, that the same spirit which animated our soldiers will in inspire our civilians, and that the delibera tions of their Convention will be marked . by wisdom and decorum. On receipt of neces sary intelligence, the President will pro ceed to develop the subject matters to be discussed by the Convention. For the time being the Delegates will fraternize with the good people of Eastport, and have oppor tunities of appreciating its many natural•. advantages, as the Frontier City of the re presentative Republic. B. Doedor KILLIAN, Preaident 'of Convention: On Wednesday evening a public meeting. was held at Eastport. Addresses were mede by "Kil lien, Major Sinnptt, Col. St ephens, McDonald, and O'Riley. • They claimedito appear as citizens in convention to agitate the question of Ireland's liberty, and said that though private citizens now, the good people of Eastport must not be surprised if they wake up some fine morn ing transformed into something else if occa sion require. They said they were not raiders, and intended taking no man's life or property, but what was to be done would be done in an honorable way. They spoke' of dissensions existing fn the Provinces, particularly alluding to the question of Confederation, and said if the British gov ernment showed a determination to force the measure upon the Provinces, and a portion of the people were to raise the standard of revolt, they were ready to step across and resist such coercion. They trusted such would be the case, for unquestionably such a step would lead the conversion of these Provinces auto an Irish Republic. They spoke strongly of England's aid and sym pathy to the rebels, and claimed that Irish men bad a right to expect the gratitude of all Americans for the aid rendered them in suppressing the rebellion. Each arrival of a steamer from Boston brought rumors of large arrivals ofFenians. It was said the steamer New Yore brought SO and the New Brunswick, on Tuesday, landed 150 more. It is now claimed that over 500 men are on the border ready to strike at anv moment, and yet no man can tell where They are; and it is undoubtedly true that they are quartered more in the imaginations of frightened citizens and de signing Provinciarpoliticians than on the borders of Maine. No such numbers of Then have arrived nor are hereabout to be found. Add to the primary object of establishing Fenian circles and holding meetings on the border, the fact that the Confederate move ment in the Provinces is served by the Fenian excitement, and the explanation of and occasion for all the sensational articles in the Provincial press and despatches to New York papers is not difficult. The Provincial authorities have been greatly alarmed at these movements, and intense excitement prevails along the southern borders. The entire volunteer force has been called out, and the several organizations are under arms; the militia have been ordered to parade on appointed days, and to be held in readiness to respond promptly to a sudden call. Thus, the whole military force is practically marshaled and ready tbr active service. Yesterday Admiral Hope's flagship Dan can—S6 guns and 900 men—arrived at St. Andrews, having on board 600 regular Eng lish troops; 300 of these are to be stationed at SL Andrews, opposite Rastport, and 300 at St. Stephen, opposite Calais. Three English men-of-war had preceded the Duncan, and the fleet of four vessels is moored in the har bor. With these preparations the British authorities, with manifest anxiety, are awaiting further developments. Meantime rumor has it that Fenians in small squads and in parties of from 50 to 150 continue to arrive on the border. All is quiet, however, and the strangers arriving down to this time have been civil and or derly. On Tuesday night there was a fire alarm on both sides of the river, and consid erable confusion ensued. It is the custom :n case of, fire for the people residing on op posite aides of the river to cross to each others' relief. On Tuesday night strong guards were placed on the bridges and no one was allowed to cross. There is a great effort being made by re porters here to manufacture sensational de spatches, 'and hence the "Fenian war" is much more formidable elsewhere than at its reported seat, Thus, a few days ago, two English soldiers, who had been drinking freely, wandered across the bridge to Calais, w here they were accosted as "lobster- backsn' and, becoming quarrelsome, were promptly sent back to the St. Stephen side by order of an English lieutenant, and without any vio lence whatever from any source. This is the whole of the " First Battle in the Fenian vier" reported in the New York papers. The reported capture of an English rev enue flag is equally false. There was a dispute as to whether the revenus boat should be at India Island or at Campo Bello, and while the matter was in abey ance, a squad of the Campo Bello party seized the flag from the revenue cutter at India Island and carried it away. Fenian ism and Fenians had nothing to do in the matter. Down to the present. no collision or any thing approaching it, has occurred between the Frovmcialists and Fenians. Governor Corry has sent Adjutant General Congdon to Eastport and Calais to see that the laws of the Statesuffer no infraction. Gen. Meade bas been ordered here to maintain the neutrality of the United States Government and to see Unit the nation suffers no indig nity from either of the belligerents. He visits Calais to-day. J. R. S. Facts and Fancies . . The fair sex in France are getting expert with the violin. Some half-dozen young la dies have been playing solos and concerted music in Paris with great success. They are said to manage their beaux beautifully. The English papers give quite a large re port of the trial before one of the Assize Courts of a child ten years old, named Emily Ballard, on a charge preferred by Rev. G. R. Gray, of stealing a penny from a schoolmate named Sarah Jane Gough. Mr. Gray considered it a Penny-tentiary offence. Girardin is succeeded in the editorship of the Paris Finesse by M. Emile Olivier, who is to direct the politics of the journal at a fixed salary, with a franc a line for every thing signed with his name. We can hardly imagine Olivier "asking for more." Prentice says that the "portly majority that the Connecticut Radicals had a year ago is reduced to skin and bones." Never theless, the skeleton seems to worry him a good deal. Some of the London merchants have in stituted a custom of charging an admission fee those who enter their stores without buying. The lady eight-seers can enter by paying a small fee, and examine, all the latest styles and costumes without making any purchases. Well, its all right to make prophets out of seers. F. 1,.

Herd.] The epidepidemic at present preva al iling among the passengers of the steamer Virginia is still on the increase, andis daily committing further ravages among the unfortunate vic tims now on board of the hospital ship, de spite the excellent precautionary measures adopted to prevent the farther spreading of the disease. Twelve now cases have oc curred, which makes the total number now in the hospital seventy-nine, and there were five additional deaths on board of the Fal con making fifteen in all since the Virginreaated this port. There was no communication between the shore and the infected vessels yesterday un til.a late hour in the afternoon, when Dr. Swinburne, the Health Officer, proceeded in a tug to the lower bay, fortheparpose of as certaining how matters at the Lower Quar antine were progreeeing. It being very late when the tug returned, no later intelligence than what is stated above could be ob tained in regard to either the Virginia,Eng land or the hospital ship Falcon. Daring the squall on Saturday afternoon the small sloop Four Brothers, acting as tender to the hospital ship, and employed for removing the dead, conveying the sick, and carrying stores, was capsized in the lower bay, but fortunately no lives were lost, those on board taking to the small boat, thus saving themselves by the merest accident. The tug which conveyed Dr. Swinburne to the Quarantine also towed down two stall]. lighters, which were employed yesterday evening in raising the sloop, and it is ex pected that she will be again placed upon duty this morning. Facts Relating to the Steamer England.- The steamer England, which arrived at this port on Saturday morning from Liver pool via Halifax, had fifty deaths among the passengers during the passage, and while at Halifax one hundred and fifty more occurred,:which made a total of two. hundred.* Dr. Slater, the Health Officer at Halifax, who in the faithful discharge of his duties proceeded on board of the Eng land to alleviate the distress of the afflicted, was stricken down with the disease and died on the 6th instant. While at Halifax one hundred of the sick were removed from the England to sheds upon an adjacent island, and at the time of the steamer's departure for New York bat sixty of these remained, the other forty pa tients having taken French leave and de-• camped for parts unknown. All the pas sengers now on board the England are look ing remarkably well and are evidently well cared for. The surgeons on board the vessel report the present number of passen gers as 16 in the cabin and 872 in the steerage. No new cases have occured for several days. COURTS.
