AVraf—That the principles of the Union Republican
Party are represented by the Resolution# adopted at the

the candidates selected by that Convention for. the offices
of President and Vice President are true and faithful
representatives of these principles, and of unquestioned

With these views thna plainly expressed,fellow-citizens,

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

By tho steamship America, at New York, we
have the English special newspaper correspond*
ence from Abyssinia detailing the Cannonade,
storming, capture and destrucuon'of Magdala by
Napier’s army, ,
OTlie Cannonade and Its Effects.
[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. From the plainness of his
dross tho body was riot at. first recognized; but!

of Sir Robert Napier, drawn forth into the prin-'

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

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. There
is no doubt such a movement, accompanied with
brief euccess. would'have an effect in replenish
ing the Fenian treasury.' No doubt, if .would,
amount tolittlejmoro, as the commissary depart
ment will bo the grand difficulty, and hence
the question of how much pork and'flour
have been- stored in advance, .is one of im
, portancc, and cannot now! be solved. .' It
is reported that the General, Government
is about to send V/'Wgiment of reguJjx
troops to this: pkuMT/Now it is.well known
that tho United States troops arc mostly Irkh
Catholics (?) amajority of whomwould fire blank
. cartridge sooner than wound any of tho Fenian
brigade. In fact, during the last raid, troops
near this place when ordered to load,on a certain'
occasion where resistance was made'by Fenians,
omitted to load with bail. On the occasiogot
! tho last raid what proved of most Importance was
! the President's proclamation. Of course supplies
i were stopped likewise, and to do this troop 3 were
i required. The Government of. the Untied States
; must be aware'of tho Feniau preparation. A

movement of troops to the frontier, would nip

the'tblng completely. But that need not be ex
pected..-,lt is fully believed here that when the
Fenians begin to advance in considerable num
bers, the United States will take actionas In 186 Q.
There le not the least excitement here on the eab
jccit It is hardly spoken of, although it Is ad
mitted by all that there will be a raid. The arrival
of - military stores at Prescott yesterday is
well knoWre here—a quantity of tents, and
other snpplleßSsqre sent to Fort' Wellington.
Tbo fact that Movements In Prescott are so
well known hero attaches greate/.credioilUy to
tbo reports of' arms and stores having been
shipped to the border of-the St. Lawrence, as
both are treated simply as matters of fact. There
were reports that General O’Neil woe to march
here to-night; but he has not done so'. It is said
he is engaged In trying to restore harmony be
tween the two factions into Which the Order is
split, and for that purpose : has returned to

THE WAR CLOUD.
Hen, He Fa.Hl> at Obalons—A Singular
bpccch to tbeTroops.
CParifl (May 18)Corrcspondeoco of tbo . London ITimea.)
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. ' " _ •'
A 810 JOB.
Curlotie Stoty-Tbe Cberokei I. anils—
Seven Millions of pollan at Stake.-•
«- The Washlngton-correspondent of the *,N. 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 ' : "
