Senor Amador Guerrero ' the constitutionally-elected. President, having been unable to rally around bis standard a sufficient number of men, on ac count principally of a lack of money, sur rendered to General Ponce, and delivered up to him his tremendous war material, consisting, as the papers say, of 228 muskets, 15,000 percussion caps and 22 boxes of •cartridges. General Ponce, on his part, agreed to pardon all those who opposed the revolution, and so the big war is ended—till somebody else buys out the battalion. So everything is lovely again, except that foreign merchants will have to pay for theJandango in the shape of additional taxes next December.

This time it is the Michigan Central, and oar destination Niagara Falls. The party begins to look picturesque , with its motley impedimenta. Fulton,of course,solemnly checks his trunk, and we watch the operation carefully to see that he taakes no Mistake. The rest of the party lug along traveling bags, Indian arrows and bows, buffalo robes, bull whackers' whips, the lash nine feet long, and warranted to take a beefsteak out the live animal every time; chess boards, rolls of music. big photographs, baskets of prickly pears, and mineral specimens. Spruhan totes a lamp of bituminous . coal under his arm, from Nebraska to Now York. and the "Governor" con verts his forty-cent straw hat into a cactus bag With these and lots more, we pack ourselves away in a handsome day car of the Michigan Central, and say good-bye to Chicago, with many pleasant memories of Its open hospitali ties. Our car is beautifully built and furnished, but it has patent ventilators that keep it very hot all day. It was during this day's ride across Michigan, that we took to spelling-matches, by way of atonement, and great was the fun thereat. Philadelphia, and Dana for New York, took the field against all comers, with triumphant success. We trotted out all the regular old hard words. Poniard, embarrassment, unparalleled, harassed, separate, innuendo, and a hundred more, and our antagonists were routed right and left, horse, foot and dragoons. Boston became shockingly demoralized, and Pittsburgh,—but no, Pittsburgh shall draw her own. smoky veil around her and rest secure. Innuendo bothered them worst of all, and shrewd Redpath books numberless small wagers on Philadelphia's ortho graphic lore, which were decided in his favor over a quarto Worcester, at Niagara. We reached Detroit without special adventure at 6.n0 P. M., and enjoyed a capital supper as we crossed the river in H. B. M. steamer Whatsher name. There wero sausages on that table tha simply could not be surpassed. We ate several. before we landed in Her Majesty's dominions at Windsor. There the übiquitous Pullman again receives us with his friendly care. Our sleeping palace is, if anything, larger than the "Omaha," the beds almost easier and the linen a faint shade whiter than the snowy sheets on the C. & N. W. This may have been a fancy. From 7 P. M. to 4 A. M. we rattle along, all sound asleep, and then some of us are aroused to enjoy a first sight of that beautiful specimen of mechanical genius, the Suspension Bridge. The morning is a little foggy, but we turn out on the rear platform and enjoy the grace and symmetry and unyielding firmness of the famous structure as we glide dcross it and are once more on our native eon. We encamp at the International, among a swarm of dentists who are holding a Convention at Niagara. We dismiss the profes sion with a single remark. We detected a lot of them during the day, tacking up their business cards around thetgallery of Terrapin Tower ! and two of them we saw, with our own eyes, scrib bling their names on the pretty, new bridges on the Three Sisters. As for these last, we waited until they had gone on, and then deliberately erased their names with an old newspaper. So perish the memory of all scribblers in public places. We spent the day at Niagara, but what shall we say of that day? There were those of us who saw the grand culminating wonder of all na ture's majesties for the first time, and he who writes of Niagara, upon a first few hours' con tact with it, belongs to those who The Falls, the rapids, the islands, the whirl pool, the deep thunder of that eternal diapason, the ceaseless "smoke of their torment" that rises up forever and forever, from the vexed waters as they are crushed to foam in the fearful cald ron,—these are not things to be told in a flying sketch like this. But we may tell about our bath. A doien of us adventured the Cave of the Winds. How pretty we looked as we emerged from the dressing-rooms! The neat-fitting felt shoe, that clings to thr slippery rock with such a sense of security; the graceful oil-skin helmet; the becoming shirt and trowsers,girded about with a piece of 'wet twine. Clarke's ankles stuck out at least two feet, and Faulkner was indescribable. Down we go, around and around the spiral stairs out upon the eloping path, until we are close un der the caves of the American Fall. With faces averted from the thundering sheet of water, we step upon the narrow, wooden bridge and are smitten well nigh breathless by the storm of wind and spray that dispute out passage. In the first second we are soaked to the skin and blind ed With the pelting rain.- - We hurry-across, AN EDITORIAL EXCURSION. At Chicago we are the guests of that superior hotelist, Drake, of the Tremont, and it was evi dent that he meant it, when be Invited us. The two dinners, on Sunday and Monday, and the farewell - breakfast on Tuesday morning, linger in our memory like a beautiful dream.. Danit! Dana! will we ever be utterly unmindful of that Mackinaw trout? It will be impossible,ever being bound Chicago-ward, not to, go to the Tremont. On Monday, a sub-committee of us went to the great stock yards. They are one of the " sights "of Chicago. Acres upon acres of cat tiO sheds and yards; a bank, doing a large busi ness; a hotel, rejoicing in a landlord named Tucker, who knows a party of Eastern editors at sight, and knowing, understands their wants at Mich time; a magnificent artesian well, 1,200 feetBßep and more, pouring up a superb column of clear, cold water, six inches through, and 850,000 gallons every day ; a net-work of rail way tracks by which every road approaching Chicago pours in the Rye stock to this common centre, whither come hundreds of thousands of cattle, and millions of hogs to be slaughtered and packed in Chicago- or reshipped, to other points. Chicago now actually beats Cincinnati on pork. At dinner, on Monday—such ailinner ! the Rocky Mountain Press Club was organized. The object of the Club is,—to do it again! J. G. Hobbs was elected President; S. D. Page, Vice President, and, after a naturally tierce struggle, Treasurer.. Judge Wright, of Boston, Secretary; E. Fulton, Guide and Mentor. The offices all have heavy salaries attached, including that of Medical Director, conferred on Dr. Fleming, of Pittsburgh. The Rbeky Mountain Press Club 1. 3 to meet again at the call of the U. P. R.

A pause for breath, 'and then our guide pilots us downward over broken masses of fallen rocki, among which the water is dancing, churning, rushing in all beautiful shapes down toward the level of the river below. Then he bids us stop and look up. We wring the water from our hair and look up, and we are standing directly in front and at the foot of the splendid mass of white and green and pale violet water that comes tumbling over towards us, but strikes its bed and is broken into a thousand little rapids before it reaches us. We lie down in the clear, cold water,where a canopy shaped cascade comes curling over us, and enjoy a sensation that can be known nowhere but just in that spot alone. We try one pool and one torrent after another, and then, over more slip pery narrow bridges, and up the steep face of the rock, by steps hewn in its solid side, we, serami4e our way to where the less adventurous 'of our party await us, and in a few minutes are housed, towelled, dressed, and aro cheerfully paying our two dol lars apiece for our grand bath. prerything is two dollars at Niagara.

We breakfast most satisfac torily at-Susquehanna, kis handsome hail; whose oak timbers and galleries and arched ceiling give it the air of a Gothic chapel. All day we feast on the exquisite beauty of the scenery which sur rounds the winding course of the road, through its entire length. All day we are grateful to the managers of the expedition for the admirable • - l• I. 1 1111 • 11 • 11111 1 lecosing programme of this grand trip. And as the day draws on, we drift together into the saloon of the Directors' car, and begin to be conscious that parting timehas come. Dana takes the chair, and many pleasant little speeches are made by one and,another, glad to testify the universal im pressions of satisfaction with all_ that has been seen and done and experienced. We vote ourselves a party of uncommon good fellows, to have traveled this fortnight and these forty-five hundred miles with never a mishap and never a falling out by the way. We vote the U. P. R. R. a'stupendons reality and success, and come home like so many Queens of Sheba in Boiled linen dusters, to proclaim that the half had not been told us. And so Pavonia, and a hasty handshaking, and a rush for Jersey City and the Philadelphia depot, and a whirl of three hours and a trifle over, and our share of the Editorial Excursion is ended. The main body lingers for a day in New York, and then it disintegrates; and as Page re lapses into his normal condition, remembering all the watehtulnewcancl care and forethought and Ingenuity which his Large and interesting but now scattered family of overgrown boys has cost him, he stiff murmurs to himself that touch ing watchword of the party, and asks himself again and again— "WHERE ISH DAT BAIITY NOW ?" ME PENNA. - ACADEQIY OF FINE [MEM As a Museum, as a School, and as an Kxchangre. We propose first to notice critically and his torically the treasures of which the Academy at Philadelphia, in the course of ils long and varied history, has become possessed. Oppressed from its infancy with the troubles and impediments of a provincial college, striving for advancement amid the indifference of a most Lagligent commnnity,our Academy has never had any patronage to boast of, nor been able to fulfil at any time the laws proper to its heal thy development. Its story has been that of some impertinent garden seedling dropped among the clearings of a new country, and compelled to thrust its exotic honors through the bearded harvest that overbore it on every side. But it has never lost the element of growth and life that bore It on; it has never ceased to be the foremost art-school in the country; it has never ceased to open its friendly gates for the exhibi tion of a museum in which may be studied ex amples of many of the most instructive develop ments of art. The tempting beauty bf its galleries —small, home-like, gracefully proportioned, per fectly lighted—has attracted the public, and com mended the treasures enshrined therein. It wins the passer-by from the thronging and hideous street by the glimpse of -its cool repose and its air of preoccupied seclusion. The stranger, passing the light iron rail, spies within a green and flowery court, dappled with the wav ing shadows of the vines, and strewn with the faint petals that drift from the loveliest hawthorn tree in America. tinder this stands a tall Greek marble in a pose of inimitable nobility, wearing first with the old Hellenic grace the snowy chin mys, and over that the changeable leopard robe of shadow thrown from the whispering thorn. The broad marble steps lead to a small lonic portico, plain and pure. The urns of flowers that decorate them are of the sweetest Grecian elegance ; colossal busts, of milk-white, marble, bend their unchangeable brows from square grave pedestals: a broad door gives one to see, in the stillness and demi-tint of the interior, the grand academia group of Lough ,— demigods, monsters, chimeras and nymphs battling toge ther in one huge, pale monochrome, touched with silver edges in the perpendicular cataract of light that falls from the mimic sun at the centre of the graceful rotunda. Then within, as yea enter, you find a charming little museum of the oddest contrasts; •the bargains and legacies accu mulated by the Academy in a half-century; the dubious old masters; the sickly, fade, Watteau lab French pictures imported by fugitive Bona partes; grave Spanish -school portraits that chill you from the Walls; little Flemish cabinet inte riors; enormous sails of cloth covered by ,the grandiose brush of West; now and then an acci dental Italian or Belgian masterpiece of modern date : and these varied treasures separated in a horse-shoe of elegant rooms that half embrace the principal Rotunda,. so tastefully, that the jewels of the Vatican—the Apollo, the.Meleager, theTorso,—hardly await the visitor with more privacy in their marble cabinets, than oar own Leander, and Penelope, and Opting, and Ghi berti,-and Pradieryin-their-petteeftd- belvideres.--- OUR WHOLE COUNTRY. PATRTTSGS BY CHARLES ROBERT LESLIE, R.-A. Among the warmest, dearest, helpfullest, truest friends of the Academy, when that Alma Mater was a very infantine,. rickety, sketchy Alma - Meter indeed, was the loveable painter Leslie. In his boyish letters indited from London to sister Betsey, when the latter was composing newspaper -tales about Uncle Philip and Mrs. Washington Potts, in Philadelphia, he is inces sant in his inquiries about the growing Academy.- The latter possesses a number of works by this artist, which to a critical eye have the strangest air of unlicked adolescence. They all belong to, the formative period of the minter's life, and exhibit a liberal crop of his faults, together with unmistakeable evidence of his ultimate skill. The best is perhbps his portrait of Lancaster, the edu cational reformer (No. 61), an unimpeachable bit of drawing and expression belonging to Leslie's early prime, but still without value in color. The most interesting, however, of the Lealles in the Academy's possession, are the three water-color skeiches of the player Cooke, the success .of which determined him to be a painter. If this little group of youthful works , by Leslie had been accessible to Mr. Taylor when composing his agreeable Biography, a decided gain to the earlier chapters of the memoir would have resulted. It comprises, first ; the aforesaid sketches in aquarelle; next, his "academies" of the Parnese Hercules and West's '"Alusidora;'' then his frightful "Death of Rutland," wherein, in utter ignorance of his vocation, he attempts the heroic method of boredom after the manner of his deity, West. And lastly the more finished and masterly head of Lancaster. They compose a full and interesting illustration of the youthful schooling of a very precious and generous art -life. Charles Robert Leslie, a London-born Ameri can, was brought to Philadelphia at the age of six, In 1804. Apprenticed to the Philadelphia booksellers Bradford and Inekeep, he wearied of business, but read London books on the sly in their first virginity, before his customers; he orritrarammiwinuarirrivariraugairanw—rrawr.uutiya discovered bending over drawings instead of over invoices or accounts. His evenings passed in the theatre. When he was fifteen or-sixteen years of age, the great player, Cooke, arrived in Phila delphia, filling the house from pit to roof, and cramming the streets a day in advance with gentlemen's porters in nightcaps, who slept standing as they waited for their tickets, or allowed smarter rascals to scramble over their shoulders to the door. The civic sen sation intoxicated young Leslie, with whom emotion ' found the outlet of Art. The three ,nquarelles at the Academy are those sketches'of Cooke which, exhibited by master Bradford at the Exchange Coffee House, were so praised by the bourgeois critics there, that the blushing young apprentice was kindly released by his employer, and sent to study in England with pockets crammed with money from Brad ford and letters from Mr. Bally. These portraits are on time -stained bits of paper a few inches over, numbered 109, • 112 and 113 in the catalogue, and represent Cooke in three of his great parts, Othello, Falstaff, and "Richard 111. They are creditable works for a lad of sixteen. The two latter are really good, representing in one case the lady killing leer of the fat knight, and in the other the profound irony with which the hunchback re views hie own per after Ms mrial conquest of the Lady Anne,—finding himself "a marvelous proper man." The satire in each case IP- given with perfect understanding, subdued and self possessed. The attempt at tragedy in Othello is a complete fiasco, resulting in a high-wrought and laughable scowl, precurrent of Leslie's inevi table failures in after life whenever he attempted to get out of his proper genre of high comedy. The three, however, are quite good enough to become a day's wonder at a provincial club• house, when credited to the ignorant prentice of a quaker bookseller. They made the boy's for tune. lost us the citizenship of one of the most agreeable and companionable Philadelphians who ever belonged to us, deprived Sully of his bright young pupil, and opened out for the latter an easy, serene, sometimes courtly career in the English Bohemia. We will next notice the remaining Lealies be longing to the Academy. ANOTHER DARING BOND ROB LIERY. Forty Thousand Dollars Stolen from the Office of the Situ' Insurance Coin. • • - • Puny• Yesterday, at about two o'clock in the after noon, a young man of respectable appearance entered the office of the Star Fire Insurance Com pany, No. 96 Broadway, and inquired of one of the clerks at the counter if Mr. (mentioning the name of a gentleman who occasionally calls there) was within. He was answered that the clerk did not know, and directed to proceed to the back office and make further in quiry there. The counter where ques tioner and questioned In this dialogue stood, one on each side of it, is just inside the street door, running at right angles from the front of the building. The counter is about three feet in height and terminates, about six feet from the wall, in a range of desks a foot higher than the counter, used in the transaction of the business of the company. During the colloquy given above the secretary of the company stood at the extreme end of this long desk, nearest the light, taking down the numbers of a quantity of five-twenty bonds of different-denominations, amounting in all to $40,000, which had just been received in the office as collateral on a loan made by the company, and accompanying which the customary mem orandum of numbers had not been received. Just as the young man was informed to look for the party he inquired for in the back oflice,the secre tary, having occasion to use a blot sheet, slightly turned his head from the light to reach one, and almost immediately resuming his former position found, to hie consternation, that in this slight interval the bonds had been removed, snatched away,while the eight of "the young man"making rapid tracks up the steps into the street informed him 'by whom. To jump over the counter and follow the thief occupied the secretary but an instant; but on gaining Broadway his cry of "Stop thief!" brought such a crowd around, all eager to learn what was the matter, that he lost sight of the fugitive, and was obliged to relin quish the pursuit of him. That the man entered the office of the insurance company with the in tention of stealing and used the name of a party whom he may -have- - learned - sometimes called there, or dropped on the name hap-hazard, as an excuse for coming in, is .almost certain,, as the bonds had just been carried round from Jay Cooke dr, Co.'s office, whence they had doubtless been foll Owed, in the hope that a favorable op portunity would offer on the street for stealing them, which not happening caused.the thief in very desperation at losing 'tits rich a prize to risk the bolder movement. - The company desire It stated that the lose of these bOnde, even , If never recovered, Will not in the leaat cripple them or materially affect their monetary safety.

Erection of Telegraph Lines-Finan. cial Schemes-Public Expenditures- The Elections-The Guano TradO [Correspondence of tho I%llas. Bally Evening Bulletin.] lama, July 12, 1868.—0 n the first of the pre sent month, the telegraphic line from Chorillos to Fesco was commenced. The great activity which the company displays causes us to be lieve that in little more than a month the 185 miles which separate us from the rich province of Tia will be concluded. The Beneficent Society hag ordered that all in firm ebinfunen be assisted at the Hospital o Refuge. This laudable measure baa been dictated on account of the increase in the number o those unhappy beings,—sn increase that offers at every step a sad sight, and at the -same time gives an unfavorable idea of our state of civiliza tion. The consignees of guano In Belgium have been ordered to reserve the sum of 26,455 soles to be destined, to the purchase of_objects necessary for-the establishment of aliotanical Garden. - A supreme decree has been issued, approving of the emission of promissory notes of the national credit for the sum of $196,000, made•by General Francisco Diaz Canseca, when he held the post of military and political chief of the central departments. The approval of the ex penses, as well as the conversion of said sum, along with $5,000 more, which, in bonds of national credit were sent to him in Arequipa, has been the object of general criticism. A report of the Minister on the state cf the publiclinance on the ad of last March_haa_been published. It appears from it that at the time of the establishment of the present government there, were in the coffers of the nation 881,344 soles.% In sight of such a deficient state of the treasury, and the present exigencies of the ser vice, government had recourse to a loan of 10,- 440 - ,009 soles;whicir - the -- consignees of -- guano save them last February. The foreizn debt as- cends to 8J,064,769 so es, and the sum employe: - on its service is of such magnitude that it ab sorbs a kregtt part of the products of the guano. If up to 1874 our wants could be reduced (says the report) without contracting new obligations, the financial situation of Peru in 1874 would "be most flattering." The minister besides calls attention to the die atzreeable tact of the enormous increase in the public expenses during the short period of thir teen years, and the disproportionate diminution that during the same period the income has suf fered. In fact, in sight of numbers, it is to be noted that from 1850 to 1863 the expenses have been tripled and the income has decreased by nearly 30 per cent. From the report of the Minister it results that the advances which have been made by the consignees of guano, and which must be paid from the net proceeds of said measure, are so enormous that the govern ment will be deprived of those products for a long time. From the statistics lately published, it results that in the late elections Colonel Balta has had 4.825 votes for the Presidency Colonel Zevallbs, 2,949 for first Vice Presidency, and. General Francisco Diaz Canseca 2,176 for the se cond Vice Presidency. The Supreme Government has ordeied that _from next autumn the consignees of guano in crease 10 shillings the price of each effective ton of guano that they sell in their respective de posits. Mr. Carlos Brieger has been recognized as Con sul ad interim of Prussia in Tacna. The Paraguayan war is no nearer Its end than at last accounts. Lopez appears to be deter mined to nght to the last. RUItOPEAIOI AFFAIRS GERMAI X. Pilgrimage to John Huss's Monument —Geligions Enthusiasm—Ancestry of the Great Itetormer. Efrerromer, July 19.—i think it interesting to report the pilgrimage just made to the monu ment of John Huss, which took place on the anniversary of his martyrdom, namely, on the 6th instant. A letter from an eye witness of the same says—" Amid crxthordinary Mani testations of sympathy from tar and near, among which those of the neigh boring Swiss were remarkable manifesta tions which contrasted with the • reserved bearing of the population of Constance itself— the pilgrimage of the Czechs to the monument erected In honor of John Huss took place. About two hundred and fifty pilgrims, including a score of ladies, marched, preceded by a band and by three appropriate banners, to the Hess stone, whereon the garlands brought' for the occasion were deposited, Three Czechish speeches and one German speech were made and several Bohe mian songs were given. The three Czechish speakers were the Rev. Mr. Fleischer, the Slovak leader, Hurban, and the man of letters, Karl Sabina.' Joseph Fricz, the Czechlan exile, was the spokesman In German. He insisted that the Czechs desire to live in har mony with the Germans in Bohemia. The weather was favorable, and the various national Slavic costumes had a_picturesque effect. At the banquet in the Town Hall of Constance, at which many of the citizens were present, Hurban spoke to the toast of John Huss and Sabina to that of the town of Constance. This lattet toast was responded to by Dr. Stiitzberger, of Constance, who proposed a toast to the solidarity of the people, to liberty and civilization. The following incident of this fete deserves to be widely known : A gentleman presented him self to the pilgrims as a descendant of the family of the martyr, and adduced in proof of this claim a circumstantial genealogical tree. According to this John Huss's father was named John Joseph, and was born in Hussinec, In 1330. His wife was, Elizabeth Tovicek. The pair had three sons, namely, Jerome, John and Benedict. The Huss family emigrated subsequently to Salzburg, and in the reign of Leopold 1., to Altheim. The claimant is Nicholas Huss,and ho is a merchant In Langenzon, near Nuremberg, in Bavaria.—Cor. Y.
