The Commission from the State of Penn sylvania to paint, for the capitol extension at Harrisburg, a great picture of the Battle of Gettysburg, has been given to Mr. P. F. Rothermel, of this city, who will doubtless produce a work worthy of the subject, and of which the State and city will have reason to be proud. The artists are all preparing to take their summer holidays, and a number are going abroad. Mr. Thomas Moran has departed for Europe with his"family, intending to re main several Years. He has taken with him a number of unfinished works, in cluding a splendid landscape which he in tends to place in the Paris Exhibition of 1887. - Mr. Henry C. Bispham, our chief animal painter, is also packing up for Europe, in tending to sail within a fortnight. He takes with him many4ommiasiorus, and will doubtless have enough work to occupy him as long as he chooses to remain in Paris, where, of course, he will make his head quarters. We hear of the intended departure for Europe of Mr. W. T. Richards, Mr. Edward Moran,•Mr. D. R. Knight, and various others, though some of them will probably not leave before next fall or spring. Mr. Milne Ramsay, whose still-life pic tures are fast growing in the public estima tion, has a lovely little fruit piece in the window of Bailey & Co.'s store, on Chestnut street. We have never seen peaches or grapes painted with more fidelity to nature, and all the details of the picture are excel lent. Mr. B. Scott, Jr., finished last evening the sale of Mr. D'Huyvetter's collection of pictures, at the Art Gallery, No. 1020 Chest nnt street. The attendance was good, and some of the pictures brought fair prices. The picture-selling season is now brought to a close. Mr. Scott's sales of works of art, we hear, have amounted in the aggregate to about $150,000 during the past three months, exceeding the aggregate of the New York sales. His gallery has been an attractive place of resort, and he contemplates im provements which will add to its attractions next season. The annual exhibition of the Pennsylva nia Academy of the Fine Arts will close this evening, and the pictures, &c., will be returned to their owners next week. - Facts and Fancies. The Canadians who witnessed the canal boats of the Finnegans, with their steam tugs approaching Fort Erie, exclaimed 'When Greek joins Greek then come the tugs of war." President Baez has left Porto Rico to Its revolution and its fate. No laurels to be won there any more, now that Porto Rico hest lost is Bays. Complaint is made that the Prince of Wales is cavalier and impatient in the per formance of his public duties. At the Royal Academy dinner he gave the wordlo the speakers to be brief, and spudged up the Archbishop of Canterbury in a manner that greatly flurried that dignified gentleman. The Prince isn't at-all-king yet, himself, and therefore he does not like to have a talking going on around him.

TEE NEW CATHOLIC CATHEDRAL IN PORTLAND.—The corner-stone of the new Catholic Cathedral in Portland, Me., was laid yesterday by Right Rev.

SC3ENES AT THE GRAVE The Ceremonies in the Military Academy Chapel. We take from to-day's N. Y. World, an account of the obsequi of Lieutenant Gen eral Scott, at West Point, yesterday after noon. The correspondent describes the de corations of the chapel where the body lay, and says: "The coffin has on either side three silver handles; a rim of.. silver borders on the cover; it is lined with white satin; a silver plate over the breast is circled with a laurel wreath; the material of the coffin is mahog any, and it is six feet six inches in length, a foot and a half deep, and two feet and a third wide. It is solid and austere, like the soul it cannot contain, and it is raised three feet above the floor, so that all who pass by can look upon it in passing, and see among the things within the deatbly.faee, so famil iar in its living outlines to every citizen and schoolboy. At one o'clock there were seen through the doors and windows, great throngs of troops and people upon the plaza, and every newly-arriving steamer and train of cars brought large accessions to the thousands of quiet and well-dressed people on the ground. The sound of martial mimic, slow piping, was momentarily heard. Now the flies began to play, and the solemn proces sion came up the aisle, after the following order: The Order of the Day.

The reverend divines advanced up the aisle, reading by paragraphs the solemn services for the dead, and between the verses the organ and the choristers joined, the organ being played by a military offi cer, and the voices being very tender and grateful. The clergy advanced to the altar, the mourners took allotted seats, and soon the little chapel was filled. These were the pall bearers—men of mark, -not unworthy to bear even these revered ashes to their well earned rest ;• Admiral Farragnt, tall, grave, graceful, with an eye that was fixed in solemn contemplation upon the bier, and -lifted no glance to see what curious admiration he might be receiving: Here at the grave of one whose long career of usefulness was passed in duration, even this fine old Vl king's, Farragut was little regardful or re- . sembling the fiery spirit that led his ships into circuits of fire and iron, and would be glad to die in wooden walls. Adjutant- . General Townsend, busy these many years with rolls of active, famous soldiers, bat with no name as yet evokes more pro found regard in ita iteration than this of the splendid surname, typical of a life that did truly win fields and cities, to be at last set down in this mountain quiet, and leave its bones among those of the graduates and ca dets. General Cullum, whose tenure here will be marked by no event of more signifi cance than that he stood at the - bedside of the dying republican soldier, and under his auspices made the grave of Winfield Scott to the cadences of his cannon. General Van Vliet, white haired, • yet ruddy and full of merriment, who has sent the sinews of war to every campin con tested land, and gives to this occasion the cheerful dignity of well-conserved years. With these were Delafield, celebrated in court-martials; Palmer, a scarred and in domitable tar, like Powell and Ringgold who were with him. General Schriver and General Mete, made up the pall-bearers of the precious dust of Winfield Scott. The thin, stately figure of Bishop Potter was well adapted tothe chief devotional and sacred function of the day; he, read in fall canonicals, with tender sonorousness, and was assisted by the more pertly Dr. French, the Post Chaplain, who stood at the dying bedside of this departed soldier and the world he was enterlng. From Garrison's, across the river from. West Point, came also to give his assistance to the dying ministra tions, Rev. C. F. Hoffman, and from Eliza beth, New Jersey, a former pastor of Gen. Scott, Rev. J. F. Warren. These made a body of ministers not unworthy of any country, and admirably entitled to teach the leisons of a rendered life to a republican and Christian people. Beyond the pall-bearers, if we run an eye over the chapel, we see the bearers of names newly famowa in this solemn epitomization. 01TR 'WHOLE COUNTRY To the immediate left are the family mourn ers; two bright-eyed grandsons of the Gene ral, six and eight yeaxs old, much resem bling him; Mr; Hoyt, their father and one or two other family friends; ' behind these were Congressmen, and the New York and New Jersey Legislatures; adjacent were the leading Generals and their staffs, Grant be • ing nearest the altar. Across were naval officers, corporate delegates, militia and volunteer officers, and a delegation, among others, of Mexican republicans, who for gave this soldier the conquest he had made of their capital, in admiration for his just and lenient administration. - The following were the members of Con gress and other civil officers present : Benators—Reverdy Johnson, of .151aryland; Garret Davis, of Kentucky; Wilson of Massachusetts: Lane, of Indiana; Foster, of Connecticut, President of the Senate; Anthony, oUßbode Island; Grimes, et Iowa: George J.

The following are the representatives present of the New 'York militia: The Fourth Brigade of the First Division was repre sented by the officers of the Fotuth, Eleventh,Twenty second, and Seventy-ninth regiments, The Third Brigade was represented by the officers of the Fifty-fifth, Thirty-seventh, Seventh,. Hlghth, Ninth, and Firstregiments. The First Brigade, infantry, was represented by the officers of the Seventy-that, Second Ninety-fifth, Ninetv-ninth and Seventy-seventh regiments. The First Brigade, cavalry was represew ed by the officers of the First and Third cavalry regiments. The Second Brigade, IC lugs' County, was represented by the officers of the Fifth, Twelfth and Thirteenth regiments. Übe Second Division of the Sixth Brigade, Gen. Ram liton, was represented by the Sixteenth, Fifteenth and Bights-ninth regiments. 'She United Slates Marine corps was represented- The following generals were present from New York : ben eral s Sanford, Aspinwall, Spices and hall, each with his staff. The simple burial service of the Episco pal Church was recited, the Bishop reading a verse and the people responding with the alternate ones; music fell in between, con sonant with the varied changes of the les son,_ and that paragraph relating to the fight with the beasts, at Ephesus, seemed to have the dlasest applicability . to the General of anything that-was said. In the end, all the auditors joined in the Lord's Prayer, and .the undertaker, stepping up screwed down the coffin lid. Six artillery men then lifted the ponder ous coffin upon their shoulders and carried it out to the bright daylight, to its hearse, an artillery wagon belonging to Duncan's battery. Behind the hearse, which was covered with flowers, a valet led the General's favorite horse, a brown, of great size and strength, but lame with age, and it was covered with mouning, while the late owner's boots were put in the stirrups, with their rowels turned toward the horse's head. To dead marches all the procession walked, a battery of artillery heading the corpse, and the whole corps of cadets constituting the escort. And all this while the great guns in the battery at the water side sent minute peals of resonant regret which made the moun tains roar. The echoes at West Point are always prolonged and tenacious of exis tence; but many persons who 'visited the post yesterday had never heard their moun tain voices before, and as the great Parrott pieces blew the winds to ribbons, Old An thony's Nose, across the river, threw back a shock like an earthquake; Cro' Nest took up the rumble shudderingly; and far Highlind cliffs felt the tremendous transmission, WI to these strangers it seemed, indeed, that the soul of the dead soldier was traversing the mountains he loved so well, or that their grand sympathies spoke at thenews of his demise. Between the cannon peals and their rever ations came the shrill plaintiveness and wailing of craped cymbals and trumpets. and the beat of muffled drums, as between the Highland cliffs fell glimpses of pale re ceding waters, and the flight of silent sails. The sun shone cheerfully, but a gracious coolness came through the mountain gap from the north, bearing all the freshness of waters and the, many scents of early sum mer. The wide plateau was soft and green; the quiet people gave of their flowing gar ments all picturesqueness to the linesof trees which belted in the grounds with their en vironing shadows, and, like a proud regret, around the plateau would the slow probession to very mournful drums,crossingthe parade threetimes, skirting for quits a mile the steep terraces of the river, passing and re passing the chapel, and winding beneath the open window of the room at Roe's Ho tel where the soul of the ancient Captain floated away so shortly before; then it de scended into the glen without the post gates, and, winding up the bankage came to the green promontory of the cemetery. Here the concluding service war recited. General Grant came forward to the frame; and the solemn clods were thrown upon the box that contained the coffin. Then the cadets fired three prompt volleys over the tomb, and the gravediggers began their mournful work. In a few moments the body of this famous general was quite shut away from the sight, and the people scat tered quietly toward their homes. Items from Washington. The Tribune's correspondent telegraphs under date of yesterday: Secretary Seward and "T. W." are re ported to o have gone a-fishing together, to day, np to Great Falls, on the Potomac. It is stated that Mr. O'Conor will be in Richmond on Monday to appear in the trial ofJeff.

The President has pardoned Richard S. Cox, of the - District of C4Aumbia. Mr. Cox Was pardoned under tenth exception of the proclamation of amnesty, excepting all those from general amnesty who voluntarily left their homes in a border State to aid in the rebellion. Mr. Cox is the owner of the fine estate on Georgetown Heights used by the Colored Orphan Asylum. The teachers of colored schools in Wash ington and vicinity met here in convention to-day. There - were eight schools repre sented by 102 teachers, supported by ten dif ferent lhatherrt societies. The number o scholars is reported at 4,371, with an aver age attendance of 2,970. The Rev. John Kimball ,acted as President. The citizens of Alexandria are moving beyond the corporation limits to escape their outrageous taxes. Independent of the internal revenue, United States license, State and county taxes, the city expects to raise $200,000 out of a population of 8,000 whites and blacks. Two-thirds of the stores are for rent, and business is being driven from the place. Adams Express Company, having been assessed $5OO by the rebel municipal authorities, is among the moving masses. The Treasury Department has ordered a circular to be sent to every Postmaster re ceiving over $6OO from his office, requiring him to show that he has paid his income tax. Grover dc Baker have applied for a re issue of their fourteen years' patent. The last day of filing arguments in opposition is Monday, June 4. The movement in the Raleigh (N. C.) Con vention, at to opening, to effect an adjourn ment, is well understood here to have been a rebel artifice; but the Union element was too strong. It is expected the State Consti tution will be remodeled so as 'to exclude prominent and leading rebels from citizen ship. Judge Underwood left here last night for Norfolk to arrange for the transfer of his Court to Richmond, as directed by Congress. The. Hon. E. D. Culver has resigned the office of United States Minister to Venezuela and returned home. The Hon. James Wil son, of Indiana, has been appointed to fill the vacancy. Wor the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.] The True Well-Head for Supplying the City with Water. F.BILLDELPICIA, June 2d, 1866.—As the Perkiomen bas occupied the attention Of Councils, and the Delaware below tide. water that of several of our city papers, the writer will bring forward a long familiar idea frequently broached conversationally among his friends. The Delaware, then, is the only stream within our reach fit for the purpose. It is also, and always will be, an ample supply instead of a capricious expedient. But it is the Delaware above the tide whence we must draw life and strength. A glance at the map will show the special fitness of Ne tv Hope. Here, in Wells Falls, we have a magnificent rapid, with a descent of twelve feet in three-fourths of a mile, and that so broken by the numerous projecting rocks as to afford a thorough aeration of the water; which taken out at the head of the ripple about where stand the works for filling the canal, could be carried down stream a half mile or more by a race, or even be drawn from the canal itself by slightly enlarging its capacity; and so be made—precisely as at Fairmount—to force its own body— drawn directly from the lowest and most violently agitated part of the rapidtdirectli on top of the neighboring height, some two hundred and fifty feet above the river, and thus have a lofty head for the aqueduct or the mains, whichever survey might show to be best adapted to the intervening country, and be brought a distance varying from thirty to thirty-five miles through Bucks and Mont gomery counties, by the way of Lecke wissa Hill, the Neshaminy, in the vicinity of Bridgeport, and the general line of the Old York. Road, across the head waters of the Pennypack about Hatborough, andpast Willow Grove to Philadelphia. This will give us the benefit of the fall size and force of our clear and noble stream, the rapid river of the Lenape, at a point where its healthfulness can never be im paired by the work of man. After all expedients shall have been tried and dropped, "to this complexion must we come at last." Let us have forecast enough to meet and conquer the rapidly approach ing drought at once, remembering that all the money possibly to be wasted on petty mill streams would be well invested in this sufficing and enduring work. Philadelphia, the Nirth-place, and the bulwark of the Republic, must ever be its chief city, from its greatest comparative Atlantic proximity to coal andiron, and the level expanse of its position. New York has outstripped it in. commerce. So has Liverpool, a town of yesterday, surpassed London, the city of centuries; but London remains the me tropolis from being the centre of manufac tures, and this fact show us the true basis of enduring prosperity. We are, and always have been, the largest city of America. We have been, and will be again, the most populous and the most influential; but it must be by the constant maintenance of State and City pride, so that our Legislature and our Councils may never be diverted by petty objects and selfish aims from united. action in furtherance of the interests of the Commonwealth., And to this end, Philadelphia's prosperity must be the care of the State,. which itself will be benefited in the reflex far more than any mere neighborhood tendency of business to wards the towns of other States can ever effect. If anything is brought forward in Con gress for the advantage of the Island of Manhattan, the entire New York delega tion invariably votes for it. Whereas the practice of the Pennsylvania delegation is constantly to suffer itself to be diverted by the politicians of other States from concen trating on the Quaker City. When we learn wisdom, we shall experience pros perity. A State divided against itself can not grow. Very respectfully, yours, Quits. J. LUKENS. LARGE DOO.-Mr. Wm. Gibson, taxider mist of Lansingburg, has just finished stuffing the skin of one of the largest dogs in America. The dog was an imported Russian blood hound, imported and owned by Mayor Flagg of this oity,and was known by the name of. Sultan:" It was six feet and four inches iii length, three feet and three inches high. It took two large bundles of rye, straw, besides a large quantity of hay and tobacco to stuff it. Mr. Flagg was offered $l,OOO for his dog-ship by Barnum, which was refused, shortly after which Dan Rice offered $1,200 for him, which was also 1 refused. Mr. Flagg and his family refused any sum rather than part with it. The color is a regular Martese.—Troy Whig.

We have about 20 new cases from the Peruvian this morning, and as many yesterday. Cannotlsome place be found for the well passengers on shore? Coney Island would be a good place; tents could be used, and a guard could protect the vincinity from exposure to cholera, Something must be done soon, or the mor tality among the passengers of Peruvian will exceed that of any vessel ever in this port. If we had the .thinois here, or ,some vessel to transfer the passengers, it would be far better than to allow them to remain on board. The hospital is now much over-crowded; every available space on the ship is occupied with the dead and dying.
