Jeiat The Academy of Fine ArT&.—*Thedetermina tion of the Directors to continue the. exhibition np to the'SOtfe.of the instant month will be hailed ■with pleasure by ■ the public at large, whatever chagrin it may cause to the artists and owners of pictures, who had hoped to recover possession >f their property before the season of sumfner rustication. Through the beautiful, season that appears to hsve Bet- Jn for the month, with this bright opening day, the public who have been detained by storms may have a better chance to examine the fine array of paintings and marbles which the Directors, after many discourage ments, have succeded in providing. The ex hibition is good, the people are willing, and June is beginning to tell her days of gold: let Art then lift her head, and foresee the better times in store. The fine portrait of ex-Govemor Curtin, by William K. Hewitt, was hung on Saturday. An infraction of the rnles of the Academy was per petrated to admit it, as well as a kind of breach in the Academy’s wails, or at least a disturbance of the upholstery of the northwestern partition! The likeness hangs over the doorway of the northwest gallery, among a crowd of portraits whose effect it imperils by its excellence and s ombre strength. The ex-Governor’s face is re presented in a strong perpendicular light, ■ whicli plays on the lofty forehead and silvers the falling tuft of hair, now growing grayer with every passing year. . Beneath the eyes, the face takes a heavy vail of shadow, which covers the bust and envelopes the hand, and the general effect is a rich, colored gloom, from which emerge the heights of a commanding brow, and the glances of the profoundly-planted eyes. Few portrait-paintere know better than Mr. Hewitt how to separate what is ephemeral in a face from what is ideal and developed from the character. \ The passing, ignoble traits of temper cr weakness, and the caprices.of the moods, re tire from the canvas, and the markings of time are reviewed and selected until those alone ap pear which have added depth to the thought and dignity to the mien; and the veteran painter, in delineating the company of good men amongst .whom’Tio is growing old, testifies to his own ex cellent qualities in the qualities he recognizes and depicts so broadly. Among the importations just opened by Messrs, Earle, at their Galleries, will be found a collec tion of photographs representing’ tho latest mas terpieces of the French school of painting. Ar tists would do well not to neglcct this opportu nity of informing themselves, by means of accu rate reproductions of thepr&inal canvases, about the ideas which are forming, in '. the" best’ foreign art-centres. The pictures are very .recent, and the copiet, of course, mechanical fac-similea with the exception of the color. Thus we have some of the prize-works of thosalon of 1867, including yjbert’6 capital " Appel aprea lo Fillnge,’! a military review or roll-ca 11... of foragers, who, - present themselves' ■} quite/ gorged with their pillage, and laden with geeseand bens; Gdraud’s large picture of a young Ro Man exam ining" female slaves, just purchased for the gov- Pbllidelpbla, ttif 30, 1868.

The still more ad mirable “Job, and. bis frienda” of Lecomts, a young pnpli of Gdrume now rising into popu larity, is a fine study of cadaverous flesh and ori ental attitudes. Bis master, Gdrome, furnishes a tmmbcr of interesting subjects, distinguished by the care, detail and originality which have built up bis feme. The “Horse-market at Cairo,”, one of his latest works, "with an Egyptian hostler showlng lhe paces of a beautiful Arab Co a small group, is full of life and character. The; photographic copy of his renowned “Duel. after • tho Mask-Ball,” heretofore not Tery easy to get, is admirable, and a great deal better than the lithograph heretofore sold. Another striking Gdrume is the “Arnants playing Draughts;” a graphic picture of Eastern gamb ling. Zamaoois, an original, who has leaped into popularity at a single jump, contributes two sub jects; one, the "Demand id Maniage ,, la a capital Imitation of the style of Melsaonier; the other is a continuation of the line which madehbPfiret sen sation, and exhibits two court-dwar&in splendid ’‘dresses,playing cards against a fo»],who lies down before them in the 'fends.

[Before llsfdala (AprijlCUumpondence ot too London Magdala has been taken, and Theodoras, killed by his own" hand, lies, under the guard bf a British'sentry, in -the hist and strongest of the wondrous series of his strongholds. It would be 'affectation to pity a tyrant who himself knew no pity, who was as unscrupulous and crafty as he was cruel, and who had indeed every reason to style himself the “Scourge of God,” sent to pun ish the people. "Yesterday nothing was left to the imagination; the tragedy was forced in all Us naked horrbr upon our revolted senses. . A strange smell, for Which there was ho apparent cause, made some of our party look over the edge of a steep cliff, - almost Within a few yards ol the spot from which the guns were beginning to play upon Magdala; and uttre, on a ledge about fifty feet below them, lav two largebeaps of mangled human bodies,closely piled upon each other in ghastly confusion, their litnbs protruding from the mass in all sorts of re pulsive attitudes and contortions, and presenting altogether a scene of horror such as no pen could adequately describe, could any pen be found to undertake the task. Of the strength of Mngdala itself it is, perhaps, impossible to give an adequate idea. It is pro tected by lofty, almost' overhanging cliffs, so precipitous that a cat could -not climb them, ex cept at two points, north and south, at each of which a steep, narrow path lqads np to a strong gateway. It was by the northern gateway, as being on the side commanded by Selassee, that onr troops had to effect an entrance. * * * * One Snider makes many. ■ In. another instant ev ery man anywhere near with a rifle in ms hand was banging and blazing away as if all his pros pects in this world and in the next depended upon lie number of charges he could gel rid of in a minute. This natarally<created an impression that an action was going on somewhere, and a general scamper was at once made to a spot -which commanded a better view of the plain be fore Mngdala, and on which, to the great delight of the scamp ersrs, some of Theodorus’s guns and mortars were unexpectedly found. An artillery officer, Lieutenant Nolan, bappguing_jo be one of the party, promptly resolved to use their own guns against the enemy if possible,and this being considered apparently in the light of a humorous practical joke t?y a few civiiians-or-’Toafers” es caped from their staff or regimental duties to the front, a sort of comic siege of Magdala was car ried on by a force of all arms, dresses and un dresses for more than an hoar. One of these excursions led, oddly enough, to the unearthibg of M. Bardel, the Frenchman who has been suspected of poisoning Theodbrus’s mind against the captives. On the first-of the enemy’s guns being fired by Lieutenant Riolan, a woman rushed Out frantically from a small tent near the line of the fire, evidently under the impression that her tent was about to undergoja heavy can nonade, and with vehement gesticulations offered to capitulate. The tent was entered, and there in bed, to the intense astonishment of every one, was found a European, who proved to bo M. Bardel. After this incident the siege of Magdala was re sumed, and, to the intense gratification of the be sieging force, one roun<£shpt£from Theodorus’s own gnu was sent bobbing along the ground sufficiently near him and his small party to in duce him to retreat into Magdala and desist from the attempt they had hitherto been making to carry a gun up there. After this the firing ceased altogether oh the part of tho besieged and became very languidonthe partofthobesiegers. 1 feel that as a patriot, perhaps, the less 1 say of this siege the better. For tally half, an hoar the storming party remained, most of them hud dled 1 helplessly in thepath, and if Major Cooper, who commanded them, had not found a way into the place over the stockade near'the gate there might have been a heavy loss of life. As it was, fifiy determined men might have dime great mis chief, but luckily Theodoras had not apparently more than half a dozen—his principal chiefs—who really meant to die at their post in his cause. A t first the perfect/e« iTcn/er raised by the Bnider ab the head of the storming column moved up the path, did, no doubt, admirable service.,,. Vol ley followed volley with a blinding, deafening vehemence and rapidity, and showers o( ballets rattled, without an instant’s intermission, round -every craek and crevico. of the gate and adjoining stockade, leaving scarcely an inch pf wall or rock unexplored from which an opposing shot conld safely be fired, such as might well have shaken a far cooler and more experienced fob than ,the Abyssinian. , •Magdala Is sriremarkable a stronghold—so em phatically one in ten thousand—that sorno of our engineers, with something of Sir Lucius O’Trig ger’e feeling about a“pretty quarrel,” are dis gusted that it was not stonily defended and more scientifically attacked. : : Shortly afterwards Theodore-and the chiefs re tired withln Magdala, and there awaited the ad vance of tho British. As the first soldiers ap peared abovo ..the stockade the chiefs were-shot down, but Theodore, who had already dropped his royal robe of silk to escape observation, fled from the gateway, to a retired spot higher up on the citadel, and - (here shot himself, .patting the. pistol into his mouth.

ONDAY, JUNE 1, 1868. from the soldiers around.. Buck a cheer over the body of a ialkn foe rather jarred upon the nerves, bnt. still it was. natural and pardonable enough, for at bottom it meant, not: exultation over the dead of an enemy, but delight at the sudden discovery beyond all doubt that the, lost object of a tedious campaign had beep hccom pllsbed, and that there was now -nothing to pre vent the force from turning its lace In triumph home. Theodore’s escape was dreaded up to the latest moment as the possible sonrce.of further detention in ‘Abyssinia, and the soldiers would bave'bCen more titan human if they had repressed the fhst outburst of joy at discovering that from this dreaded evil they were now safe., : Theodoras’ body was found, not near those of his chiefs in the gateway, but alone on the hill above. After sending.you a.telegram to say that' he had killed himself I heard that the Com mander in chief had telegraphed home, that he was killed in battle, and this now seems to he the belief of those who ore perhaps likely to. know ifig oiie after oil that has been said about then it Was impossible' to judge properly after death, especially as the eye was said to be, from Ifsfire aud expression, the most remarkable fea ture. There was a look of bloated, eensnaiindul eence about the checks by no meafis heroic or kingly, but: the. forehead was" intellectual and the,month singularly determined and cruel. A very strange smile still lingered about the lips, as If even in the depth throe his last thought hod been one of trinmph at having . banlked his con querors By dying a king. WliattbeUndoD TTlilnfes—The The London Times (the persistent enemy of this country) of May 18th has the following on the impeachment trial: ' ; ~ The expected vote on the-impeachment of, President Johnson , was> taken. onBatnrdav,Jbnt in a very unexpected manner. Instead ofhegln nlng with the first article of charge and dealing with the rest in order, the Senate,,began with the last, and having, dismlssed^that-article by a majority of 85 to 10, adjourned until the 20 th without Voting upon, any other. It does not clearlylappear whether this decision amounts to an acquittal upon the last article, or merely to a rejection ofltaB irrelevant, but In either case the eifecCla the same, and tbo Senate has proved itseifcahable of determining at least one issue in favor of the defendant. Until-.we receive fuller details of the proceedings, with a trustworthy analysis of the majority and minority, we should not be justified In drawing any further inference from the vote, which, however, will doubtless produce a,,great impression throughout, the United States. Though conducted on the whole with an ability and patience not unworthy of its constitutional gravity, this memorable trial has: been regarded throughout as a political- struggle rather than as a judicial inquiry. ** We shall how await with increased interest the sequel of a State prost ecutionon which the political fortunes of the United States will probably - depend. The, grow ing ascendancy of-Congress over the. State Legis latures has been recognized for many years, and received a fresh'impulse from the civil war. Mr. Johnson’s trial, which is without a precedent in American history, has now brought to an Issue that conflict between Executive and Legislative sovereignty which it Is - the secret qf con stitutional government to keep in permanent abeyance. He is not accused of peculation, or i oi>pri®sion,-or. t®y other enormity such asthose whicßhavofnrnlshedgrounds for impeachments in past times,-but of resisting, the omnipotence of Congress. We do not-presumq.- to ofier any oplniohionthe legality of his-conduct, but we cannot help seeing that, if he is convicted there is an end to the balance of power contem plated by the founders of the American Constitu tion. When they made the consent of the Senate necessary to appointments of great officers, they, certainly - did not Intend to give that body the power of forcing on obnoxious Minister on the President When they gave the Supreme Court jurisdiction over all cases in law or equity arising under the Constitution, they oannot have foreseen that it wonld be pos sible to oust this jurisdiction by making the ex ercise of d disputed right,the subject of an im peachment. It is not only'the President, but the Constitution of the United States which is now on trial before the Senate, and the residence ol Mr. Wade,foc_a short year at the White House would least important conseqnence ot Mr.. Johnsem’s deposition. From that moment the President would almost inevitably become more, ana more the- slave of party, and his office, al ready weakened and discredited, wonld cease to be.the object of an honorable ambition. . Expensive Preparations at Ogdeni burg. [From the Toronto Lender of May 20th.) Ogdens burg, N. T., May 29 — The prep.ara- • lions by the Fenians for the coming raid on Canada are steadily going on in this section of the State of New Fork. The meetings of the Brotherhood in this place are pretty frequent, and it is believed that a large section of the coun try is under the management of the circle here. It is well known, and was announced at the time, that a considerable Bupply of arms and ammu nition reached 'this section last fall, and,was secreted near Malone and Potsdam Jnnction then. In addition to this there have been consi derable arrivals lately. A car-load of knapsacks and ammunition arrived at Potsdam Junction lost Monday, which was delivered and taken to wards Fort Covington, a village on the St. Law rence. .A consignment of porkhas been made to parties there, which,' it is generally believed, is for Feriiah account.’ Likewise, partieshave been Bpoken to with reference to supplying bread, and it is also supposed that it was intended for the Fenians. These circumstances show that the movement is steadily going op. All this is being done without any bluster, and with more secrecy than usual. The newspapers here say nothing about It aB neither party just now wishes to quarrel with the Fenian vote. Whilo the Supplies- and ammunition are thus being j»ot“ 'ready, no perceptible move ment of the Fenians to a point between here and Rouse's Point has yet commenced. The Fenians are evidently acting with more shrewdness than they did in ’66. They probably have 20,000 stand of arms and an ample supply of ammanitiori at present stored at points along,the St. Lawrence, near Fort Covington; so -that when the men move forward, as they may bo expected to do shortly, they will find themselves in a much bet ter position to act, regardless. of the United States authorities, than in .1860. Ono report, here is that a lodgment is to be made on Cana dian territory, near Cornwall, on tho northern bank of the St. Lawrence, where they hope to proclaim the Canadian republic, un molested by United States troops in, their rear, arid proof against Canadian arms in iront.

Gen.De Fallly.ih assuming the command at the Camp of Chalons, issued the following order of thoday: ' Gentlemen: I am happy and proud to be called your commander. I already know a great hnmber among you, and many are acquainted with me, at least -by name. We are assembled together, not in an encampment of pleasure, but in one where work is to.be done. Tbat sufficiently says that wo shall' proceed "to our manotuvres without losing time. We shall omit matters of detail and confineourselves .to evolutions on a large Scale, such as are necessary in war. The Improvement in the muskets having changed tactics,-We shall modify—not tho order of ma noeuvres, but their application to the new arma .ments. A war being always possible, our train ing ought to be earnest, genuine and uniatarrup ted. ’ Xrepeat to Von that I appreciate, as I am bonnd to do, the honor of being placed at your head. • y> Tho order of theday just quoted appears to many people Importantmot so much because the General .speaks of war as ‘‘possible"—everything is possible—not because tho possibility seems meant by him to become from the fact ofhis omitting “matters of detuil,’ 1 and confining himself to "evolntions on a large scale, such as are necessary in war.” Tho words of the Gen eral arc hardly in accord with those which .the Emperor uttered only a few days ago a$ Orleans. Baa General Failly alladed to the state of politi cal affairs in the Senate,of which ho is a member, nobody would think them strange; but as-the General commanding the camp: oi Onhionß his Order of the Day should relate to the Instruction of hlB troopß, and not take the form of a political address.

Y; J [lerald is, responsible for the following story: , . ®TrBome thirty-seven years ago the national Gov ernment held In trust for the; Cherokee Indians the sum of $500,000 in gold, and having usetibr about that sum appropriated it, givlng the Cher okees instead a deed to eight hundred thousand acres of land in what .Is 3 now Southern Kansas: The tract of land was never, occupied by the Cherdkees, but was held in trust for them by the natiohalGovernihent, supposing .that the rise In value would fully equal tho Interest bn the stun paid. ' Meanwhile it was taken possession of and improved by settlers; who, finding it vacant; sup posed they could acquire titles to it under the pre-emption or homestead law.- It was estimated that 50,000 settlers occupied that portion of Kan sas a year ago, and the number has been rapidly increasing since. In 186(5 the Oberokees applied to Secretary of the Interior Harlan for permission to sell the land in question, offering It first to the govern ment for $BOO,OOO currency, or $200,000 less than first cost if yon take the interest and depre ciation of currency into consideration. It coaid readily have been’rcsold to the settlers occupying it in tracts of 160 acres each, at the rate Of $1 2u per acre, or $1,000,000 for tue whole, thus re paying the government for ontiay, expense of surveying, &c. An arrangement or treaty was finally made by which the Secretary of the Interior was to have »lhe land appraised by a commission and sold.to the settlers at its appraised value, or he might sell it in a body tor a sum not less than $BOO,OOO cash. Ab the land was considered by good judges to be worth frtfm $1,500,000 to $3,000,000, Mr. Sec retary did not let mnch grass grow under bis feet before selling it to the American Emigrant Com pany of Connecticut, of which Mr. John Wil liams, the author of the Nationali> Bank system, was general. agent, for $25,000, cash down, and $775,000 on long credit The sale was pronounced by the Attorney Gen eral illegal and void,and Mr. Browning, after tak ing control of the department, -resolathe land to one Mr. Joy, of Detroit, whose right to it was tat once contested by the Emigrant Company., Hav ing, however, reconciled their differences, both' contestants are now putting forth every effort to get the Senate to legalize the first sale. This tract of land is nearly equal to a princi pality; Towns have grown up within its bound aries, and much of it is now improved farms worth $5O per acre. If these sharpers geta title to the land, the settlers, or a large portion of them, will be at their mercy—obliged to pay whatever avaricious speculators may demand, or leave their homesteads. • It is not likely that these heartless lobbyists will demand of their victims less than $lO per acre on an average, which will bring the enor mous sum of $8,000,000— being a profit ,of $7,- 200,000 on an investment of $BOO,OOO. This land having been placed in the hands of the govern ment Tn trust for. sale, it was the imperative duty of the Secretary of the Interior to have offered it first to the settlers whose toil had enriched it. If they had refused to buy (he sharpens might then have had a chance. Such a straightforward, honest course, however, would have left'no chance for the lobby go-betweens to make $7,- 200,000.' y ' : " —The Montana Gazette notes the finding, in El Dorado Bar, of a ruby sarpphire weighing six carats.
