Worrompondence of tho Philadelphia Eveuing Bulletin.)
ltonv, March, 1868.—We have cause to proud
of our people, in whatever occupation they may
he engaged In foreign countries. I have no sym-
patby with the few, very few, thank Heaven,
of our country people who, having been enter
tained in English homesteads, imagine that be
cause everything in and around an Englishman's
castle is perfect in its arrangements, the broad,
mouthing articulation of every word he utters is
perfect also. To hear an American sneer at our
English longue and call it American language ir
ritates me beyond endurance, and throws me
into the state of the man whose cart was upset
on a bill and all the heavy stones rolled oat,
when he stood quietly regarding them, and was
asked by a bystander "why he did not
swear or something." " ph," he replied, "It
is beyond words!" But to the point.
Entering the Banker's office on the Piazza di
Spagna, and turning to the lists of "AltrisE. ,
ROME," "Barristi, Ansarscass and ITALIAN," . I
naturally rend over the list of "FEMALE -s, AlrrliT."
"THEM STUOMVISEId Itssonnsons"iirst. It is a
most excellent practice, adopted by all American
and English residents - in any European city, to
enter their names and addresses at the Banker's.
and have it fully understood that their country
men will be expected, on their arrival. to send
their cards and hotel addresses and receive an im
mediate response in the way of an invitation to
their regular weekly 'receptions." These recep
tions are entertaining beyond measure. There
are professional men of every callings women
whose names arc known thronghout the civilized
world, and revered for the fame they have won
by perseverance through trials not dreamed of.
by those who purchase and admire their works
of art. Theta: i 4 re eight hundred American
visitors in Rome, and about two hundred resi
dents who entertain them.
Miss Emma Stebbins, the first female artist on
the list, is so fortunate as to be domiciled with
our great favorite, Miss Charlotte Cushman, and
her nephew, now connected with our Consnlate.
In that house centre all attractions that art, in
telliaence, refinement and the most exquisite
trite can combine. Six beautiful salons, en .ruffle,
are brilliantly illuminated. Enter with me. At
lie door we arc met by an Italian usher, who
eonducta - us to the billiard room, where the table
is covered, aid piles of opera -cloaks, shawls and
hoods reveal the number who have arrived before
[lr. Disrobing of our wrappings, we are conducted
to the ssand ssles... Who is that tall, corn
n;anding woman, with silver hair, and
:urrowed brow, brit with an eye bright,
piercing, and • yet expreasive of a
ran b• gentle nature? It is Miss Cushman.
Ars you the Abbe Liszt, the great composer,upon
whom the Pope has conferred honorary saintehip?
She bows respectluily,grests you as 'lather," and
her . voice mellows to soft tones as the Italian
wonis roll from her month as If she had been
born uniler'the skies of Italy. Your silk robe,
silk . statk r inettes and buckled shoes must soon
mingle with the rich evening silks, satins and
velvets of Engliseh,Ronnin andsSmerican nobility:
Lady Montague, the Princess Doria, Count
Cen el, grand-nephew to the unfortunate Beatrice,
jet t men Meade, Rogers, Mozier, Bierstadt, Hazel
tine, the sculptor, and his brother, the landscape
painter; Harriet Roamer, Misses Williams, Miss
Foley, our American physicians, ministers, ex
plorers and correspondents of journals in every
city, almost, of the United States! All mingle,
talk and admire the statuary, paintings, sketches,
photographs, ornaments of decoration from
every discovered land, nearly all gifts, as tributes
to the great genius and marvellous endurance of
the woman who once electrified crowded au
diences with her peraona.tions of Shakespeare's
greatest characters, and who now throws a spell
of enchantment around her that the most indif
ferent nature cannot resist.
We have reached the last room, carried there
by the crowd of ladies whose trains have battled
the efforts of gallants to be graceful in avoiding
them. and would have puzzled Beau Brummel.
But hark ! music ! ! We slip out of the room by a
door, unobserved under its heavy velvet hang
ings Ly the uninitiated, and re-enter the grand
galon ,where Miss Cushman is seated at the piano,
and sings, "Mary, call the cattle home, across the
sands o' Dee !" We forget where we are. We
start with the timid Scotch girl from the fishing
banks. The rising storm swells the flood and
overwhelms her frail boat, and we see her float
ing on the foaming waves, while her golden
hair gleams in braidit across her pale
dead face. We hear her father's groans
and sad lament, and "long after she is
buried, we fancy in the evening hour we hear
her voice, calling the cattle home"! Not a
breath in those rooms but was suspended while
the last, low notes of the spirit echoings died
away! Many a tear was furtively brushed off of
fair, aye, and manly cheeks. A burst of applause
followed this painful silence, and a smiling,
graceful acknoWledgment from the hostess, her
color heightened by the emotion of her song,
were the only indications of consciousness of the
effect produced by consummate acting that in
terpreted Nature itself! I might follow her to
the "meet" on the Campagna, and speak of her
skill at the chase, but other stars that do credit to
our flag in Rome claim a share of attention. A
fox chase amongst the ruins on the Campagna
will term part of a future epistle.
The studios of our artists might be mistaken
from external appearances for carriage houses
and livery stables, or perhaps for flour mills! A
long narrow street, lined on both sides with high
houses, having small windows and Immense barn
doors; a white card; sometimes three on each,
with the name of the tenant scribbled, and first,
second or third,Tourth, fifth or sixth piano (which
means story) indicating the level on which the
statuary, not the aspirations, of the artist arc
based. We take a curious, antiquated looking boll
handle, pull it down, and a loud ring on the other
side of the door startles us almost as much as the
sudden opening of both doors that swing nearly
across the street as they open outward. A. white
pantalooned, white aproned and white capped
individual, intensely black eyes and hair,
conducts us through a room where , a number of
his ao-laborers, that is, ein-stousecUtters, are pick
ing, hammering, chiseling and polishing figures,
groups and statuettes in every stage of progress,
while the air is felled with marble dust that, sot ,

kneels, her crown fallen from her bowed head,

Immortelles, in wreaths and garlands,
hang around the railings of that cherished spot,
renewed by loving hands. Strangers stand off,
struck with admiration perhaps, but more with
wonder, at the monument of a vain French
woman in the Borghese Palace.
Well, really, I beg your pardon, but I must
leave you without .an introduction to the, fair
artist who has so kindly opened her doors to us,

Death of an Old Philadelphian.
John W. Ashatead, Esq., a well known mem
ber of the bar, died at Clinton Place, New Jersey,
on the 7th inst. Mr. Ashmead was admitted to
- practice In this City 1827; and 'he soon - made
his mark as an advocate and counsellor. He
took an active part in the Native American move
ment, and at one time he held the position pf
If'Alited States District Attorney in this city.
About ten or twelve years ago he removed to
New York, and one of the first cases In which he
was retained •in that, city, was that of an Italian
tamed Cancemi, who was charged with murder.
gr. Ashmead managed the case with great skill,
•,t,d although his client was convicted, through
pertinacity and the careful 'availing himself of
;very advantage which the/ penal laws of New
York afford, he contrived to save Cancemi from
the gallows. His success in this case gave him
a high reputation as a criminal lawyer, and he
njoyed a large share of practice at the New
-York bar. He was in the sixty-second year of
his age at the period of his death.

HOME FOR FRIENDLESS CIIILDREN.—The great
good accomplished by the Camden Home for
k needless Children during the past three years,has
made such a favorable impression upon the public
minds that the managers now believe they will
BOOR be able to enlarge the accommodations of
this benevolent institution. It is their intention
as soon as sufficient means have been obtained to
erect a suitable and more capacious building than
they now occupy,lurnished with all the conve
niences necessary for the comfort of the little
oneslconfided to their keeping. The Home now
embraces the entire First Congressional District.
During the past winter it has been full, and many
applications were turned away, n consequence of
want of accommodations. ,
AN 13WORTANT CHANGE.-133 , a provision of
the now charter for the city of Camden, the day

`changed from the second Tuesday' in March to

THE COUETB.—The May term of the Camden
County'Courts will be, it' Is thought, a pro
tracted one. A large amount of business is to
disposed of, some of which is of importance to
The public. The forging operations of William
Hanna, involving about 4575,000, it is believed,
will occupy considerable time, unless he pleads
guilty to •the charge, which he most likely will.
There are several other cases of interest to be
tried, which will most likely continue the term
for at least six weeks.
.I . 3IPROVF.3IENTS AT ATLANTIC CITY.—The large

Horrible Outrages on the Whites—
The True Facts Suppressed by Indian
Traders.
Sr. Lotus; April B.—An Omaha special des
patch to the St. Louis Democrat says that the
Indian agents and contractors for Indian goods
are suppressing authentic reports and doing
everythingin their power to prevent the true
state of affairs from being made public. The fol
lowing are only a part of the depredations re
cently committed by the Indians. During the
last week in March a ranch on the Bitter Cotton
wood, twenty miles west of the Cheyenne and
Fort Fetterman road, was attacked by Indiana,
who killed one boy and carried off the ranch
man's wife and the owner of the ranch. One boy
escaped to a neighboring ranch, where seven
white men were lodged. The Indians attacked
the house, but were repulsed.
Sn the 22d of March a party of one hundred
Indians attacked the Horse Shoe ranch, forty
miles west of th 6 road, and .occupied by a man
named Worrell, formerly of the Eleventh Ohio
cavalry, his partner. named Thornburg, and an
other man. Having , plenty of ammunition the
whites defended the ranch until daylight and then
escaped into an underground passageway with
loop-holes, whence they kept tin the tire killing
two Indians and wounding several. Iu the mean
time the Indians burned the building, stables
and outhouses, which were valued at-about $6,-
000. The next day Mr. liSrorrelfs party escaped
to the Irvin Spring — ranch, three miles
east, where four more whites were lodged. The
entire party started for Cottonwood ranch, fifteen
miles distant, arid after proceeding six miles they
were attacked by a band of sixty Indians. A
long fight ensued, in which three men, named
Harper, David Dumpier and another white man,
were killed, and Mr. Worrell was wounded. The
Indians lost five killed. The parties then held a
council, and the Indians agreed that if the whites
would return with tly:tu to the Irvin Spring
ranch and give, tip their goods they would be
allowed 16 go without further molestation.
guying no - option the wtatc§ C9ln•
plied with these terms. After plun
dering the ranch the Indians set fire to
the buildings. Mr. Worrell and thice *tilers were
brought in by a company of troops. The killed
were buried where they were found. On the 31th
of March a ranch on the road between Cheyenne
creek and Fort Fetterman was burned,hat as ye t
nothing has been heard from the occupants. The
Indians are still stealing stock and committing
depredations unchecked. The settlers in the
neighborhood of Forts Fetterman and Laramie
have all gone to the Military posts for protec
tion.

A despatch of }larch 25 says: Two settlers
living on La lioata creek were attacked isv
seventy Indians yesterday, and their buildings
and farming property destroyed. The men es

Inquest and Verdict or the Coroner's

ceased statesman's friends and relatives, and r.. Lee.
Crown attorney, for the Crown.
Before proceeding to give an idea of the evidence I may
mention that the authorities here are convinced that
W helan, alias Sullivan, is the man who tired the fatal
shot. Whoever fired it must have been accreted in one
, f the neighboring cmorways, and have tired on his vic
tim trout thence. It is thought McGee had a premoni
