Bronze Sculpture in the 111 iddle Ageo.....Antericein Bran. zees; The earliest accounts we have of the use of bronze are those which Herodotus gives us of the perfection to which the art of casting . in it and the precious metals was carried in Baby lon. In all ages after. this the substance called by that name, but differing in the proportions of its various ingredients, has been preferred for the purposes of sculpture. From the accounts of ancient writers it would appear that many cen turies before the Christian era very considerable skill had been acquired in its preparation, and the excellent finish of many of s the more ancient bronzes extant point to a facility in the process acaFting superior, perhaps, to the art in modern times. Bronze statues, however, were not always cast: but in some countries in the earlier ages were made of small plates hammered into the desired shape, and fastened by nails or clamps, sometimes with solder. According to Pliny, the Egyptians infused dif ferent metals into their Statues to produca pecu liar.effects of color,such as a blush or pallor upon the checks, and the Greeks also, in later years, adopted the same plan: The Athenian seulptor 3lyron employed bronze of a pale color and un known composition in the fifth century. The Corinthian bronze,whfch was of an essentially pe culiar character, was supposed to have been sug gested b 3 the accidental fusing of metals at the burning of Corinth, 146 B. C. It was of three colors—white, yellow, and the last not known. Florentine bronze approaches a dull reddish brown in color. Among the Egyptians, Greeks and Romans the manufacture of bronze articles was very extensively carried on, and their taste lOr statuary in this material was cultivated to a degree not attained by moderns. In Athens no h as than three thousand statues have beetkound, and in Rhodes, Olympia and Delphi many more. The famous colossi were cast of this alloy. Bronze was emplo r yed by the an cient artists of these countries also for the pur poses to which we apply Iron. With it, they made arms, armor, medals, and even surgical in struments;, a set . of which were discovered at Fornpeii. By them it was regarded as a sacred metal and endowed with mysterious powers of driving away evil spirits. The laws were in scribed on tables of bronze, and upon bronze coins tame w l ere placed the words "sacred money." The Egyptians apparently understood the art of making it very hard, as a chisel of bronze was found in one of their quarries which had been used for cutting the hardest porphyry, the marks and indentations being found upon the stone close at hand. In more modern times some of the sculptors hay° used this material largely, and embodied it into their most glorious and imperishable crea tions. Pisan° executed in bronze the oldest of • the famous doors in the baptistery of St. John, In Florence. The other doors, cast by Lorenzo. Ghiberti, remain to this time, masterpieces of the .arty'. of bas-relief. Michael Angelo declared them to be "worthy to be the gates of Paradise." Contemporary with this artist were a host of others, of nearly equal greatness, all of whom have •left behind them sublime conceptions moulded into this noblest of metals, which would be impossible to describe, or even enumerate in -an article like this. Bronze is an alloy consisting of various pro portions of copper and tin, to which lead, zinc and silver are sometimes added for the purpose of giving greater brilliancy, to the compound, or rendering it more fusible. In some of the modern bronzes, brass is sometimes used instead a. • • of tin. In casting large figures, It is customary. to wake the mould in several pieces, and the cast ; . ', - :4i1:.V...'',...- . ...1(1.z.1.1k..'.tti4 . ' ... ..........'..•!..*1').(i'e1t ings aye then riveted together afterward. Fine bronze castings have heretofore been made en tirely in the old World, and while American artists have furnished more than one design of surpassing beauty, they have had to depend upon foreign establishments to cast them in the metal. This dependence upon foreign assistance is at an end. As Americans. we are proud to state that hereafter neither the government nor private individuals need seek for greater proficiency abroad, in this respect, than can be found at home. Messrs. Robert Wood & Co., of this, city, the well-known manufacturers of ornamental iron; work, at No. 1136 Ridge avenue, have added bronze casting to the multitude of the styles of metal work which they perform. Not tbe cheap and poor workmanship that too often distin guishes our home efforts to compete with foreign manufacturers. but bronze casting which, for de licacy of finish,elegance of color and appearance, and beauty of material, is in every respect equal to the best that comes from abroad. Already this firm have cast a number bf exceedingly beautiful statues and other articles, among which may be named Mr. J. Q. A. Ward's statue of an Indian Huntress, which is now in the Paris Exposition, but is destined for the New York Central Park: Mr. L. Thompson's statue of Napoleon the First; also in the Exposition. Both of these statues are marvels of art and beauty, and arc equal to any thing ever p:«lneed by the fatuous foundries of Munich. In Adition to these, the visitor to the works of tb Messrs. Wood h Co. can see ele gant figures . Faith. and life-size eagles intended for Greenwou.;-Cemetery, New York. A beauti ful statue de;,fned to typify Hope, and which is o taken to Cincinnati; a military bass relief. Which is intended as an ornament for the tomb of the late lamented CaptaluiThomas P. James, of the Fiat City Troop: and many other objects which we will not enumerate. The facilities posiessid by Messrs. Wood & Co'. enable them to make every description of bronze casting, from colossal figures to objects that are almost micro scopic in their littleness and delicacy. Among the works recently produced were sever:llof the beautiful groups most of which are intended to illustrate the events of the war, and which have made the name •of Rogers famous among the lovers of art. But the greatest work which this foundry has ever produced, is the statue of Abraham Lincoln, which was cast on last Thursday afternoon. For months-past their chief moulder. Monsieur Achille Bureau, has been working assiduously down in the mysterious depths of the mould for this work of art. There is a world of detail about such a i casting, and great nicety of management is re quired to insure perfection: but the model was made by a master of his business, and Monsieur Bureau is the Napoleon of moulders. So on Thursday, at four o'clock P. M., the mould stood prepared to receive its contents, and at the word the furnaces were tapped, the liquid metal flowed forth in a fiery stream, and was carried over the aperture to the mould and poured in. When ,enflicient 14/41e hat elaßsed for the alloy to cool, the mould was broken away, and there stood the grand statue, perfect in every respect, and so smooth and delicate in its finish, that it had simply to be lifted from the earth, and without the touch of a tool, or the stroke of a chisel, pocked to be sent to its destination. The statue is a master-piece of workmanship. The design is faultless. It is an excellent like ness of the lamented statesman, and is arranged with such skill that even the ungraceful modern carmenns please rather than detract from the ef fect. It is intended for the Brooklyn Park, is ten and one-half feet high, and weighs four thousand pounds. We have alluded to this subject because we have rea.s4on to be proud of this triumph of Ame rican art, and because it is especially gratifying that a popular Philadelphia firm, which has already attained no mean reputation for its skill in producing ornamental metal work of all kinds, should have added another to the many branches of manufacture for which this city is celebrated. We grow snore independent of Europe every day. and it is desirable that while we do not look to her for the necessaries of life we should also be capable of competing successfully with her in the world of art. Notwithstanding .the fact that Crawford's statue of Liberty, which adorns the dome of the Capitol at Washington, and also the great bronze doors in the building, were cast in Munich, some of the most beautiful bronze work in the edifice was done in Philadelphia. The well-known bronze stairway is an elegant ornament of the great structure. When another Caphollan extension takes place,- and there are more bronze doors and statues needed for its embellishment, it will not be necessary to send farther than Philadelphia in order to have all artistic and mechanical wants in the line of bronze satisfactorily supplied.

This is a repiblic where the will Of the people is the law of the land. I beg that their voice may be beard. General Sheridan has performed his civil duties carefully and intelligently. His removal win only be regarded as an effort to defeat the laws of Congress. It will be interpreted by the unrecon structed element in the, South—those who did all they could to break up this Government by arms, and now wish to, be the only element consuoited as to the method of restoring order—as a triumph. It will embolden them to renewed opposition to the will of the loyal masses, believing that they have the Executive with them. The services of General Thomas in battling fir the Union entitle him to some consideration. He has repeatedly entered his protest against being assigned to either of the five Military districts, and especially - to being assig,ned.to relieve Gene ral Sheridan. _ . . General Hancock ought not to be removed from where he is. His department Is a compli cated one, which will take a new commander sonic time to liwecorue acquainted with. There are military reasons, pecuniary reasons, aud. above all, patriotic reasons, why this order should not be insisted on. I beg to refer to a letter, marked private, which I wrote the President when first consulted on the subject of the change in the War Department. It bears upon the subject of this removal, and I bad hoped would have prevented it. have the homar to be, with great respect, your obedient servant, C. S. GRANT, General U.S. Army, and Secretary of War wi interim. I'IIEsIDENT JOHNSON TO GENERAL GHANT Ex I:(TTIVE MANSI()N, WA!-lIINGTON t D. C.. August lath, 1867. General: I have received your communication of the 17th instant, and thank you for the promptness with which you have subtnitted your views respecting the assign ments directed in my order of that date. When I stated, in my unofficial note of the 17th, that I would be pleased to hear any suggestions you might deem necessary upon the subject, it was not my intention to ask from you a formal re port, but rather to invite a verbal statement of any reasons affecting the public interests which, in your opinion, would render the order inexpe dient. Inasmuch, however, as you have em hoffied your suggestions in a written communi cation,it is proper that I should make some reply. You earnestly urge that the order be not in sisted on, remarking that "it is unmistakably the expresseil wish of the country that General Sheridan should not be removed from his present command." While lam cognizant of the efforts that have been made to retain General Sheridan in command of the Fifth Military District, I am not aware that the question has ever been sub mitted to the people themselves for determine ;ion. It certainly would be unjust to the army to assume that, in the opinion of the nation, he alone is capable of commanding the States of Louisiana and Texas, and that, were he for any cause removed, no other general in the military service of the United States would be compe tent to fill his place. General Thomas, whom l' have designated as his successor, is well known to the country. Having wort high and honorable distinction in the field, he has since, in the execu tion oldie responsible duties of a department commander, exhibited great ability, sound dis-. cretion and sterling patriotism. He has not Jailed, underthe most trying circumstances, to -enforce-the laws, .to preserve _peace _and _order;.: to encourage the restoration of civil authority, and to promote,as far as possible, a spirit of reconciliation. His administration of the Depart tuent of the Cumberland will certainly compare most favorably with that of General Sheridan in the Fifth Military District. There affairs appear to be in a disturbed condition, and a bitter spirit of antagonism seems to have resulted from Gen. Sheridan's management.' He has rendered him self exceedingly obnoxious by the manner in which he has exercised even the powers conferred by Congress, and still more so by a resort to au thority not granted by law nor necessary to its faithful and efficient execution. His rule has, in fact, been one of absolute tyranny, without refer ence to the principles of our government or the nature of our free institutions. The state of affairs which has resulted from the course he has pursued has seriously interfered with a har monious, satisfactory and speedy execution of the acts of Congress, and is alone sufficient to justify a change. Ills removal, therefore, can not "be regarded as an effort to defeat the" laws of Congress; ' for the object is to facilitate their execution, through an officer who has never failed to obey the statutes of the land, and to exact, within his jurisdiction, a like obedience from others. It cannot "be interpreted by the .unreconstructed element in the South—those who did all they could to break up this government by arms and now wish to be the only element con sulted'as to the method of. restoring order—as a triumph:" for, as intelligent mem, they must know that the mere change of military com manders cannot alter the law, and that General Thomas will be as much bound by its require ments as General Sheridan. It cannot "em bolden them to renewed opposition to the will of the loyal masses, believing that they have the Executive with them;" for they are perfectly fa miliar with the antecedents of the President, and know that he has not obstructed the faithful ex ecution of any actor Congress. No one, as you are aware, has a higher appre ciation than myself of the services of General Thomas, and no one would be less inclined to as sign him to a commend not entirely to his wishes. Knowing him as I do, I cannot think that he will hesitate for a moment to obey any order having in view a complete and speedy .res toration of the - Union, in the preservation of which be has rendered such important and valu able services. General Hancock, known to the whole country as a gallant, able and patriotic soldier, will, I have no doubt, sustain has high reputation in any position to which he may be assigned. If, as you observe, the department which he will have is a complicated one, I feel confident that under the guidance and instructions of General Sherman, General Sheridan will soon become familiar with its necessities, and will avail himself of the op portunity afforded by the Indian troubles for the display of the energy, enterprise and daring which gave him so enviable a reputation during our recent civil struggle. In assuming that it is the expressed wish of the people that General Sheridan should be removed trom his present command, yon remark that "this is a republic where'the will of the people is the law of the land," and beg that "their voice may be heard." This is indeed a republic, based,• however, upon a written constitution. The con stitution is the combined and expressed will of the people, and their voice is law when reflected in the manner which that instrument prescribes. While one cf its' provisions makes the Presi dentCommander-in-Chief of the army and navy, another requires that "he shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed." Believing that a change in the command of the Fifth Military District is absolutely necessary for a faithful exe cution of the laws, I have issued the order which Is the subject of this correspondence; and in thus exercising a power that inheres in the Executive, under the constitution, as Commander-in-Chief of the military and naval forces, I am discharg-, lug a duty required of me by the will of the nation, as formally declared in the su preme law of the land. By his oittli the Executive is solemnly bound, "to the best of his topreserve, protect and defend the constitution," and although in times of groat excitement it may be lost to public view, it is his duty, without regard to the consequences to himself, to hold sacred and to enforce any bud all of its provisions. Any other course would lead to the destruction of the republic; for,. the constitution once abol ished, there would be no Congress for the exer cise of legislative 'powers, no Executive to see that the laws'are faithfully executed, no judiciary to afford, to. the citizen protection for life, limb and property..

Washington correspondent of the New York 7'rilrine has the following: There are parties in this city who are prepar ing charges of malpractice in office against Gen. Sheridan. These charges will be ready by the time the General reaches here, and will then be sent to the President. Rousseau and Steedman are said to have furnished the material for these charges. Rousseau has written a teply to the letter of Gen. Sheridan to Gen. Grant, charging him with hindering the Reconstruction laws. charging him be given for publication in a day or two. The Union citizens here contemplate giving Gen. Sheridan an ovation on his arrival in this city. Gen. Sheridan has complained that Gen: Roue n/an advised the removal of the former, in a tele gram to the President. I am enabled to give substantially the correspondence between Mr. Johnson and Gen. Rousseau. 'When the latter was in New Orleans, the President telegraphed to Rousseau as follows! "How do matters look in Louisiana ?" Rousseau replied : "Affairs here look very gloomy. and the people are much de- Pressed. Any change would be regarded with almost universal approbation." ' Gen. Rousseau has written a letter, dated at New York, to Gen. Grant. in which he denies in foto the charges made against him by Gen. Sheridan. EUROPEAN AFFAIRS. THE SCHLESWIG QUESTION. France's International night of Inter- 1 erence. [From ill, Purim Patric, Aug. al Private letters from Berlin inform us of the impression produced in the public mind by the last articles of the Gazette de l'Alleinagne do Nord. Those articles, whose ministerial origin is incon testable, have been regarded in Germany as the expression of the sentiments not only of the Prussian Government, but also of the great ma jority of the people. The irritated language of the Opposition journals had, in the eyes of the public, the double defect of being neither sincere 10n skthtul. it was not sincere, because public feeling is far from desiring political complica tions for Prussia; it, was not because it betrayed too visibly the object of its hostility against France, viz.: to favor the electoral move ment for the Northern Parliament. This useless tactic became dangerous; the journals themselves were not long in perceiving it, and the Govern ment has put ,an end to a iiolemic, which it disavows, by decimations, the frankness of Arbielf. we are told. ought not to he doubted. The /titration of Elcbleswi,g, our letters add, tinortty _Soivt,ii; unit to arrive at the solut en, which concerns two interests—the interest purely Germanic and the international interest—the Cabinet of Berlin in no way dreams ofabsolutely. isolating the. Great Powers. If the interference of a foreign Government may be repulsed in a German point of view, it cannot be .o in an international point of view. This has been perfectly admitted by public opinion, which acknowledges that the execution of Article 5 of the treaty of Prague is an act in which France is fully authorized to interest herself.

PRUSSIA. intended Interview or the King and Louis Napoleon. A despatch from Berlin says : It is believed in court circles that there is now an increased pro bability of an interview between the King of Prussia and the Emperor Napoleon on the latter's return from Salzburg. Negotiations at least, are now going on with the view of bringing about an interview between the two sovereigns. The semi-oflicial Sorth German. Ga:ette says: Our Paris correspondent, who is very cautious in giving: credit to important pieces of news, writes of an intended interview between King William and the Eimperor Napoleon at Coblentz. This cir cumstance gives a greater probability to the ru mors of a meeting between the two monarchs. This friendly act of courtesy would be thoroughly consistent with the present political situation, which is daily assuming a more peaceful char acter. A decree has been Issued introducing from Sept. 1 into the States which have been annexed to Prussia the same regulations which are in force in the old Provinces for the extradition of crimi nal refugees. .

Denmark and France have always been allies, linked by their com mon interests, which have been those of freedom and humanity. Long live the memory of the first heroes in the world! Long live victorious, proud, and beautiful France!" M. Morin replied with three cheers for Denmark and the Danish King. Thousands met the excursionists at the railway station ; great enthusiasm was displayed, and salvos of artillery were fired.

[From the Jap'au Timex, May 25.] The United States steamer Shenandoah arrived in harbor on the 2d from Osaka, having left that port on the 20th inst. The French Minister left for Nangasaki on the 18th, and Sir Harry Parkes, accompanied.by Lady Parkes.; Dr. Willis and.Mra Loeock, started on the..same day for Teuranga, which is dud, upon as the,new port to be opened ,on the west coast..„Tsurung. ale in a direct line , the nearest port to Osaka; 'lt is. ii thp territory of a small WalOpti, dud, cannot be coml. sidered by any meanslio favorable a spot whence to extend our commercial relations with this tom, try as Mingles Port, Kanaiiawet,or Echizen's, as, It - was to be expected that the Sho goon would resist the opening of a port belong ing to any of the more important Daimios, and as crap treaty is with him alone, and as that treaty gives him, virtually, the choice of the new port, we cannot blame the foreign Ministers for not re sisting the selection of what at first light appears to he an ineligible one: All we know of Tsu runga, at present, is that from the environs we get a quantity of tea: The Garibaldian Designs Against Home. A letter from Florence says: "The party of action here and in other parte of Italy is very active, and does not conceal its intention• of making an attack on the Papal territory. Large meetings have taken place in Genoa and other places with the object of organizing Garibaldlan expeditions for overthrowing the temporal power. The Government, on the other hand', does its utmost to adhere to the September Con vention. Troops arc being sent daily in small detachments to reinforce the military cordon on the Roman frontier; the 52d regiment has pro ceeded to Perugia, and at Fojann a camp is being organized for two divisions of infantry. Even the fleet will not be Inactive, although, strictly speaking, the Convention does not binci the Italian Government to protect the Papal do minions on the side of the sea. The squadron which was about to be disarmed the other day at Spezzia, has now proceeded to Gaeta, from which port it will cruise about the coast in order to prevent the landing - of Garibal dians. These arrangements are so formidable that I think there , is little chance of an attack on the Papal powers from without.

Hannibal Haitilin on the Pc4liti. cal Situation. At the Republican Convention for Penobscot county, Maine, in Bangor, on the 22d instant, ex-Vice President Hamlin being called upon, made a short address of which the Bangor gives the following synopsis: "He thought the present was a time for action rather than words. The words that are used, if any, should be short, sharp and decisive. There was no hour during the war of the rebellion when there was greater responsibility placed upon us than rests upon us to-day. We are not out of our trials or our dangers. Unfortunately In some respects, but fortunately in others, we have a national Executive who seems bent upon thwarting the national will and preventing a proper and just reconstruction. Reconstruction should never be completed,except upon the fullest basis of popular justice and liberty; and it is our bounden duty to see to it that no settlement shall be made upon any other basis. Neither can we do it. Rough hew them as we may, there is an over-ruling Providence that will shape our ends. Mr. Hamlin proceeded to examine the acts of President Johnson, and declared that his usurpations and wrongs have opened the eyes of the blind, and unstopped the ears of the deaf, to sec and hoar what is true, and right, and just. 'Mr. Johnson's acts and policy were necessary to educate the public mind up to the right point; and he was fully impressed that the people will have all these things settled on the right and proper basis. _ _ • A GENTLE Winscrat To MoTionis.—lf unfor tunately you have lost our own teeth by neglect or mismanagement. takftare that your daughters do not sutler the sinue penalty from the same ca use. see to it that they brush their teeth regularly and thoroughly with SozOOONT, and, thereby you will Insure them sound and service able sets as long as they live. • --A young man in Chilfornia had a contest with a grizzly, in which he was torn, chewed, hogged, gashed and bitten,. his nose and one eye des troyed, his wrists dislocated,and his arm broken.
