UETXEB FHOffl PARIS.
Icorreapondenee ofthe Philadelphia Evenlns Bulletin.]
Paris, Tuesday, June 2d, 1868.—There is no
greater symptom of theunhealthy state of the po
litical atmosphere in this country, than the fever
ish anxiety and craving for “something new,” in
which It seems to keep the population. Every
time the Emperor Is known to be about to open
his month, he Is expected to say something
“stunning"! Just as If he were a news
paper, people are always on the lookout for a
sensational paragraph. ', It must be owned'
that Napoleon himself has had something to do
with the ereation of this task, and'with the indul
gence oi It; for, In the early years of his reign, ho
did, on more than one memorable occasion
astonish both his own subjects and the rest of the
world by his utterances. NOW, however, the
portly gentleman, advancing beyond the middle
period 1 of life, who trots about Paris; and the
neighborhood with his wife on his arm, seems to
have assumed quite a different character;
and “l’lmpdratrice et MOI” (the Moniteur
always prints the latter word in capitals),
when we run down to pay a visit to our, good
subjects, and citizens of Orleans' or Rouen, wo
always make little speeches of the mildest and
properest description. Accordingly, at Rouen on
Sunday, whither, their. Majesties went, nothing
passed on either side except the most decorous
commonplaces. Even the “peaccand war” ques
tion was let alone for once (It is, indeed, quite
worn out): and Cardinal de Bonnechosc himself
was either wise enough of his own accord, or
had received a previous hint, to make no alto
sion to the Roman question or the temporal
power. Everything passed Off smoothly—and
Daily. The Mayor of Rouen administered, with
tbe keys of the city, tho rusual doBO of oflicia l
adulation, and enumerated ail the bridges, canals
and railroads for which the Rouennois are in
debted to the imperial munificence—and their
own money. The Emperor told the people in so
many words why he and his wife had come
among them, viz.: To testify their sympathy for
the sufferings of the industrial and agricultural
population of the district; and to pro"
mlse that everything should -be done to
■increase, their prosperity: The Emperor
also was good enough to intimate, like a second
providence os he is, that the “bad times were
now past and better days about to open;” a senti
ment, .perhaps, to which M. Thiers and M. Poyer
Querlier would scarcely respond. At the door of
the Cathedra]—that exquisite specimen of “atony
lace work," as Cooper, I think, somewhere calls
it—it was the Cardinal’s turn to speak, after the
Mayor. Hie spiritual power was no whit be
hind the temporal ia its laudations; though
the Cardinal was, as has been said, in
other respects prudently reticent He con
gratulated the Emperor upon the wife
ihat Heaven had given him, and upon having a
son who had been blessed from his cradle by the
Holy Father, and just admitted to his First Com
munion. The ollnsion to the Prince reminds me
of something which I have previously forgotten
to mention, as haying happened at the Ecolo
Polytechnique, when His Imperial Highness lately
visited and inspected that renowned institution.
The young gentlemen educated there are, as is
well known, of a fiety spirit, and require delicate
handling. They are “commanded” by a
French General .of; Division (no less !), of
great tact and prudence, and who knows
well whom he has to deal with. The
General felt somewhat anxious as to how his
‘•young gentlemen” might relish being called out
and paraded for inspection before a boy of 12
j ears old, although an “Imperial Highness." So
the old soldier wisely aßked his rampagious pupils
beforehand bow they intended to deport them
selves to the Prince. ‘‘We will hold,” they said,
“a toupon ” (I thick the term is), answering to a
caucus —“and consider of it.” The Polytechnic
caucus was held, and the resolution of the school
was not to cry Fire le Prince Imperial !—and not
a cry was heard I I told you that this foolish
plan of sending a boy 12 years old in state about
the country would do no good; and si,you see, it
bus proved.
The only point in the Emperor's reply to the
Cardinal which deserves notice is whero he insists
upon allying “progress” with “religion,” and
the “love of country” to the “love of God”—
a slight intimation, perhaps, to his Eminence
that Napoleon HI. is the Emperor of the French,
as well as the Eldest Son of the Church.
When alluding the other day to two paintings
of Gdrome which figure in, the Exhibition of thii
year, 1 had only space at the. moment to speak in
detail of one of them—the Death of Ney. The
other depicts a subject of for higher import, and
is equally remarkable and original in its treatment
of it. Ton see before you a cold, gray land
scape, if one may . so-designate a scene made up
chiefly of huge boulders of gray granite,
thinly speckled; over in the distance
with the still colder gray of the' dim and grisly
olives. An ominous and lowering sky hangs
overhead, portentons.of gloom and tempest. Far
distant stands, faintly depicted, a “city upon a
hill,” with still higher mountains “standing
about it,” and towards which a long procession is
seen winding across the stony and barren
slopes. Some individuals composing the pro
cession seem to turn round and not exactly
“snake their heads,” but gesticulate with their .
arms against certain bbjects which they are leav
ing behind them, Jtiut which are invisible to the
spectator; being placed in a foreground outside
of the picture. Then the eye falls upon a strange
phontasmagorical shadow which seeins to flicker
upon the pole gray stones, in ffont cast upon them
evidently, athwart the lurid light, by the afore
said external objects. Presently the Shadow
assumes a definite form: Three Crosses, of.
which the centre one is pre-eminent, emerge
fiom it; and then the whole snbject flashes upon
the mind and stands at once - revealed to
you. It is Calvary; but with only
the semblance of the Cro3s, The painter has
modestly, and wisely perhaps, shrunkjffom de
picting the tremendous scene, and instead of its
substance, has given only its shadow. . Some cri
tics say it is a “ trick.” But it is very effective
and excusable,-for the reason intimated. The
treatment and tone of thq painting, too, are in
GGrome's usual careful and subdued manner.
There is another painting honored with a con-
PHILADELPHIA. TUESDAY. JUNE 16, 1868.
Bpicuons position' in the grand central Baloon,
which naturally attracts many American eyes.
It represents the meeting, on tho
IBlh of October, 1781, between General
Washington and the Due do Lauzun,
when the former decides on, the attack by. the
latter of New Gloucester,, occupied by the dra
goons of Colonel Tarleton, the evening before the
capitulation of .Cornwaliia at Yorktown. The
artist is John Lewis Brown, - of whom, when I
say that he was “bom” at Bordeaux, I am
ashamed to add that I know little more,. But the
painting has much merit, and well, deserves: by:
execution, os well as subject, the placo and at
tention it occupies. The figure of the General,
on his stout war cob,, is finely and firmly drawn, -
with all his traditional calmness and decision ob
the moment of action approaches. The gronp of
officers in consultation, and the fleet of gnnboats
in the distance, tell clearly the story of the recon
noitre previous to the attack. ■ . :

Rome, May, 30,1868.—General Tewis leaves
Rome to-morrow, 1 ain informed, for America,
to occupy himself with the organization of tho
battalion of United States volunteers for the
Pope’s service, and hopes to return to Rome
towards the end of September with the corps
complete. TO effect this some activity will be
required, there being hitherto only $25,000
and two hundred men ready;
but as there are plenty of both
dollars and men in America; it. the bishops set
about the work with a will they will doubtless
obtain the desired amount of each in two or three
mcSnths. If any of the volunteers have been used
to Indian warfare they will bb invaluablo soldiers
for the Pope to employ in exterminating the bri
gands who infest Ills dominions even within a
lew hours’ march of tho-copltai, and who seem to
dtfv all the troops his Holiness can send against
them, whatever may be their nationality.
Tbo Rev. Drl McClosky, rector of the United
States College here, was consecrated a bishop on
Sundaymoming'in the chapel of that establish
ment by Cardinals Barnabo and Berardi. Mon
eignor de Merode was also present. A number
of Americans and foreigners were invited to the
ceremony and nartook of the collation subse
quently spread in the refectory.
Monday the Bang of Naples repaired in state
to tho Vatican to present to his Holiness 'his
brother, the Count of Girgenti.with his bride,the
Infanta Donna Isabella, daughter of the Queen
of Spain. Tbe Infanta showed her attachment
to tho Holy See by wearing a yellow and white
robe on the occasion, and the Pope received the
royal party with the ntmest affection. A
Spanish steam ,frigate has arrived at Civita
V eccbia and will receive the Count and Oonntess
of Girgentl on board when' they leave Rome,
which will not be for some time, as this is the
infanta's first visit to the Eternal City, the mar
vels of which she must, of course, examine and
aomire. The great religious festival of Corpus
Domini , presenting the most gorgeous procession
of tbe whole year, is also at hand to detain the
bridal -pair, as well as the proximate marriage of
the Count of Girgenti’e younger brother. Count
of Caserta. to his consin, daughter of the Cotmt
of Trapani.

Interview oi Nulnave wltlt the Corps
Diplomatique—A General Attack to
be Hade on tlte Bebel Position.
Port av Prince, June 2, 1868—On Bunday,
May 31, the diplomatic body, consisting of the
United Btates Jiinister Resident and the French,
English and Spanish Charges d’Affaires, had an
Interview with president Sataave, who declared
to them his determination not to yield to his anta
gonists, and to hold his position
fterc under every circnmstance, stating
that any disaster which arrived to
• this city would be by the fault of the revolution
ists. • On the following day President Satoave
visited Fort Bizoton ana returned to the city at
10 A. M. The French man-of-war D’Estiees left
for Norfolk, and the Royalist (English gunboat)
went outside to practice her large guns. At 6
P. M., the English frigate Phoebe and the Ameri
can war steamer Penobscot arrived from Ja
maica.
On Tuesday, June 2, President Satoave ad
dressed a despatch to the French Charge d’Af
faires instructing him to have the school of the
French Sisters of Charity transported to town,
and to advise his countrymen not to pass the
pickets of his lines. A general attack by the
Government forces is expected on Petionville
to-morrow.
Nulnave Attempts to Compromise-The
Bcbels Befeet His Terms-What is to
be tlie Vpsisotl
Port ac Prisce, June 5, 1868. —Yesterday a
deputation of generals was sent by Satoave to
tbe army of the southern revolutionists to endea
vor to effect a compromise. His terms were as
follows: That he should be allowed to keep the
Presidential chair for his three years to ran, and
would consent to give the ministry to the
southern generals, and that . the. army
of the south ' should enter imme
diately into this city and join with him to
repelling the Cacoa. These propositions were
indignantly refused by the Southern Generals,
who demanded to their tarn as their ultimatum
that Satoave should lay down his arms and leave
the country. Heavy firing took place all night
and still continued at daybreak. To-day every
thing has been remarkably quiet here. A gene
ral attack from the north, south and east may
soon be expected.
Under the pressure of present events, I am
not sure whether Satoave will abdicate or fight it
out.
The American Minister, with Captain Eastman
and the officers of the United States 6teamer
Penobscot, will be received at the Palace by the
President to-morrow|morning.

in tbe most reckless style, betting in the pools

prcsslon that It was “finding money” to lay.it
against Mr. Jerome's racing-like filly.- - -
They got off on equal terms,ln vercanld quickly

three-quarter pole at the head of tho home
stretch, Raptnre had . passed the - favorite,' and
' with a strong lead of four lengths at. that point,
the race was evidently here, for Mr. .Cameron’s,
Oily, ridden in wretched style, swerved three
times across the conrse, her nder unable to keep
her straight, and Mr. Jerome’s filly had nothing
to do but canter home, a winner by six lengths,

was the.next great event, and as It was regarded
as the great event of the day, the interest became
redoubled. The value of the prize was $2,000,
added to a swtepatakes of $5O each, play or pay,
and there were twenty-three entiles. Of this
nntnber the following came to tire post when tho
b'uule summoned them to start: Mr. Watson’s

she brought $l,OOO, Local, $2BO, Connolly,

De Courcy was the first to show in front,
closely attended by Connolly, the favorite next,

start having been froth the three-quarter pole at
the bead oi the stretch), and at .the quarter pole
De Courcy was still lii front, Connolly add On
ward to attendance,and tbe favorite, who seemed
nnable to live with the leaders, the fourth, while’
Local still bided bis time in the

Capt. Moore’s filly fell six lengths behind
everything, and it was clear she was already
beaten. Passing the stand the second time, (thus
completing a mile and a quarter of the distance,)
Connolly had deprived De Courcy of the lead,
with Onward ahd Local thud and fourth. Con

Courcy, until at the quarter-pole he hod placed
two lengths between them, the others still to
the same relative positions. Rounding the Club
house bluff, Local moved up and took
third place, while Onward had deprived
De Courcy of second position. Hennessy
on Local waited with admirable judgment nntU
fairly into the straight, wben he brought him
out, and chopping down Connolly and Onward
in beautiful style, he galloped home a clever
Winner by two lengths—Connolly second, as far

tFrom tho New York Herald.]
Richmond, Va., June 16,1868.—A report has
been current here for a day or < two that Chief
Justice Chase wduldta a letter positively decline
a nomination by the Democratic party prior, ’to
the Convention of theFonrth of July In Now
York. I am authorized to state that such Is nof
tbe case. If tho Democracy shall adopt a plat
form to accordance with the woll-known princi
ples of Mr. Chase he will serve, with the purpose
of proclaiming general amnesty, restoring peace,
abolishing military rale and: establishing tho
finances of the country on a firm basis.
Mr. Chaso is now.in receipt, of communica
tions from tfie leading Republicans of tho East,
West and North, assuring him that if he receives
the Democratic nomination on a platform em
bodying universal suffrage, they will hcartiy
cooperate to his election.. 80. numerous have
these been that there Is every evidence of, the
widest disaffection towards the weak and puerile
platform’adopted at Chicago by the Radicals.
The people here having no voice now are de
termined to support the New York nominees at
any and all hazards.

mysterious Affair Near Harrisburg.
(From tbe Harrisburg State Guard, June 15,3
Considerable excitement was occasioned in our
city tost evening by a rumor that a murder had
been committed within two miles of onr munici
pal limits. ,
Mr. John F. Brehm, a well-known, storekeeper
and butcher of that place, who also, has a stand
on market days In front of Wyeth’s building in
this city, left home at noon on Friday to go to ■
Heckert’s Gap, below LlDglestown, to purchase
cattle. He arrived at the Gap, but does not ap
pear to have made any purchases, and
irom there went. to Benjamin Geesoy’s
tavern, in Linglcstown, leaving there
about 8 P. M. for Harrisburg. At the
tavern he stated that he had abont $l,OOO about
bis person. He then canqe on to the tavern on
the Jonestown rood, about two miles from this
city, kept by Bamuel Lutz, and left there afoot
for Harrisburg about 10 P. JL, leaving his buggy,
and as he expressed some fears of traveling 'alone
from the fact that he had left his pistol at home;
Mr. Lutz lent him a walking stick. His desire to
come on that night was prompted by the fact that
he had promised one of his employes to be here
and assist him in cutting np half a beef for market.
He has not been heard from since he
left the tavern, and -suspecting foul play, Mr.
Landis, his brother-in-law, and Mr. David Keefer
determined to Investigate the matter, and late
yesterday afternoon discovered on the Jonestown
road, about one and half miles from this city, a
large pool of blood and an envelope thereto
which had been addressed to Mr. Breton oil
Thursday last by Robert A. Limber ton. Esq.
Search was made as far os possible until dark,
when the aid of the Sheriff and Mayor were in
voked, and this morning the country will be ■
econred with the hopes of discovering tbe victim
ol what has evidently been on unprovoked and
bloody murder:
We ore requested to announce that a reward of
one hundred dollars will be paid for the recovery
of the body, and it is to be hoped and expected
that farmers and citizens will turn out and tho
roughly investigate every bush and retreat In
the locality ofthe murder,, and assist tho
authorities in obtaining a clue to this myste
rious affair. Mr.’Brehm was twenly-six years
of age, and leaves a wife, who resides In Manoda
Hill.
An Historical House in Knoxville.
A Knoxville (Tenn.) Correspondent of the Cin
cinnati Gazelle says the house of Colonel Arm
strong, near that-city,ls historical. During a part
of the siego of Knoxville it was occupied by
rebel sharp shooters, and only escaped being bat
tered down because Burnsido bad but few cannon
balls or shells. Nevertheless, one of the latter,
a twenty-pounder, crashed through the walls,
and several smaller ones marked it in different
places. The side next Fort Sandtrs Is,
dented and flecked and spotted with
hundreds oi bnllet marks. Several musket boils
may be seen partially embedded to the window
silts and frames. In the parlor stands a piano,
exactly where it stood aurtog’the fight. .Two
balls came through the window's and lodged to
the wood of ike instrument, where they are yet
visible.' The tones of the piano are still as beauti
ful os though the casing did not contain those
grim evidences of a day when no music was heard
save that awful kind which accompanies upon
the field of battle the messengers of death. In
the tower there is a more frightful trace of the
frnv.
••The tower is perhaps Bix feet square, with
three long and very narrow windows. Among
the enemy’s sharpshooters, when they held the
house, was a young South Carolinian, who, with
several others, occupied the tower. Peeping
from one of the windows, a bullet, which must
have come three-quarters of a mile, crashed into
bis brain, and passed entirely through his head.
The blood poured out in two sanguinary streams,
as his comrades dragged him below; and from the
.spot where he fell to' the very bottom
of the stairs, the two streams, now ruu
ning parallel, now momentarily coinciding,
and, anon, crossing each other, are still distinctly
visible. The round hole in the glass, through
which the bullet penetrated is also seen. With
great good taste Colonel Armstrong has preserved
so far as possible, the traces of the conflict about
his housq.. It is true, several vigorous efforts
have been made towash away the blood, but it
bad been too thoroughly soaked into the wood be
fore Colonel Armstrong’s family returned to the
residence, and now it will remain there os long
as the mansion endures, a fearful reminder oi the
consequences of war.
—Lord Brougham’s funeral at Cannes was a
very shabby aflair. The coffin was of plain deal
covered with black cloth and tacked oft-with
plain black nails, and there was-no ornament or
inscription upon It.. When the coffin, which was
carried m a “musty old hearse dragged by two
sorry horses,” was pushed into, the vault, it was
done so clumsily that a portion of the black cloth
was tom off. The ceremony was disgraceful,
considering the eminence of the nobleman whose
obsequies were celebrated.
