RoMe, December, 1868.--On the , afternoon Of
the Immaculate ' , Conception' fate-day, we drove
out on the old Appian road more than half way
to Albano. We stopped at a circular tomb, on
the , , summit of which is an olive-Orchard, its in
teller being used for a sheep-fold-innocent sue
tenors of the old dead Romans. We clambered
tip to the top by the sheco-path, and found the
orchard inclosed by a rude barrier-a fishing net
fattened to -the ground with stakes: This wits a
guard for the sheep, ' for, stupid'as they seem to
be, they never attempt to go beyond this not, the
shepherd said.
The view of the Campaens, the aqueducts, the
distantreßuntabis, the vet - ions towns Jying on
their sioA or-resting-near their - summits, wap
superb; and over all this hung the divine Roman
sky and atmosphere of is "dianiondrtranzontatir
day-this atmosphere which gives such an retie
glotV to thQ Ries en contours, such a charm of
color and splendor of light. The olive trees on
the tomb-top .were loaded "With , olives; we had
some branches plucked._ The, fntit is black on
the outside, and the julep,. a dark purple in hue,
tastes very like our wild cherry, with a dash of
oil in the flavor.
There is no drive more beautiful than this
Appian way after one gets fairly out into the
Cs romps. The road is now cleared down to be
grand old stone path. After leaving the tomb,
wo walked a half a mile and more, and gathered
dosses, ferns, and wild blossoms'among the
strange old ruins on either side. The grass grow
ing over some of the fallen tombs is very treach
erous; we came near falling into a hidden pool of
water, which looked very clear and limpid, 84-
rounded by Its stony grave clothes and sheltered
bylts verdurous eolliniki:
In our salon windows--these windows which
look over the broad Piazza di Spagna on to the
Pinelan and off to the distant ; Quirinal statues
bang pretty gilt baskets tilled with mosses and
Kenilworth lvygathered from this Via Apple, and
the old Roman walls Of brick, out by the Mandan
aqueduct. We take a peculiar and pleasant eat
isfaction out of these vines and mosses as they
sway to and fro in the morning sun, dripping
from" their mantilla bath. when we recall - wbere
they grew,what marvelous earth nourished them-
The other morning a poet-painter stood beside
me in one of these balcony-windows, wastchidit
the enn rise over the Pincian, and the martins
coming in from their night roost In the Villa
Borgheee gaidens and.setting on the surrounding
Campaniles, which seemed in the early sun
light as bell-toners of a vidon. The Virgin on
the column in the piazza grew as "a thing of
glory" when the ann's golden rays touched her
crown as garmeas. orra trio crescent at her feet-
At a certain moment of the sun's eterautos DIJU•c,
the hill, a fiery spark always rests fora feW *-
stints in the very centre of the star whiciLle Ton
the top of the obelisk at the head of the
Spanish steps, in front of the ?lithe del
Monte Church. We watched for this spark with
the eagerness of the Christmas shepherds.
In the sky before ns was the new moon, and
below it a bright star, both of which were gradu
ally folded from our Bight as the sou rose full in
view, and thej faded " into the light of common
day."
The sky, bill-top, obelisk with its liery sun
spark, domes, bal-towers and the dishing Quiri
nal statues bathed in a rosy mist, the grand old
licalinetti or Spanish steps, and boat fountain
and the ivy moss and ferns beside us, made our
talk "something beyond the eommon," as the
Irish say. Indeed, after it was over, I found it
very hard to return to my natural atmosphere.
The poet-artist was more lucky than L Be is
" Nature's priest
And by the vision splendid
Is on his way attended."
But I had a grieved sense all day of something
vanished, and found great comfort in looking on
the green vines and ferns taken from the old Ro
man roads and walls.
Rome is having a wet December so far, but not
a cold one. The weather is about like our Octo
ber in the Middle States, just such charming days
when the "diamond tramontane" blows, and just
such damp, chilly, raw ones when the sirocco
pants over the city.
Newcomers to Rome should take great care.
There is in this place a tendency to Inflammatory
attacks and congestion of the digestive organs;
therefore, all exciting articles of meat and drink
should be avoided. The food should be nourish,
In, but not stimulating; the drinks restorative
not exciting. •
The wines produced in the vicinity of Rome
are exquisite. The white wines from Orvieto,
Marino and Montetlascone are less stimulating
but the red. Wines of Gensano, Rocca dl Pape,
Veletri and Albano are tonic but exciting.
My physician, a very distinguished man in his
profession, Dr.Tanssig,formerly physician to the
Grand Duke of Tuscany, now attached to the
Roman court, is preparing a work on Rome,
which will be a very useful guide to visitors and
residents, Riving them hygienic rides, counsel on
diet, and the precautions necessary to be observed
for the preservation of their health. Dr. Taussig
has been so kind as to let me have some of. the
manuscript chapters of his essay to read, and
from them, as well as from hiepersonal counsel,
I have dready learned to protect myself against
the perils of this delightful residence.
Added to the climate, there are many tempta
tions to imprudence. An educated visitor has
double and treble the labor and excitement that
attends him or her in other cities.
The objects of art Interest are manifold: Ancient
and Christian art; ruins of Roman' temples;
churches whose history is more marvelous than
the moat fabulouktale of fancy; galleries con
taining the wonders-of thchworld—every step of
ground teems with suggestions to the memory
and emotions.
Then there are numberless studios of modern
artists to visit, and this is one of the most fasci
nating occupations' in Rome. Great living paint
ers and eculptors are in this city, whose names
have already become historic; Americans,English
French, Germans andltallans.
Travelers return to their rooms at nightfall ex
hausted, arid instead of resting. as they' should
do, they must prepare for some dinner or ooixde
which, like everything else in , this enchanted
city, are unlike all other dinners and soirees else
where, and cannot be resisted, because at them
they haven chance of meeting persons of artistic,
literary or courtly rank., whom to gee simply is
almost. as great and agreeable a gratification as
Otitt Wit° u courrßy.

naturesuccurabs, especially lf added to these ax
e/gag ca.°6to them 1113 Am/el:leer shown in the
diet. At nt) Place in the world is there such need !
of care and prudence as at. ROM°. ,
Viaitoia almost always ask on arriving, "What
do you think Of the state' of affairs? Is one safe
here? Are you not atraid of public troubles?"
In a little 'while these questions 'answer them
selvq, in the delightful indifference to • outside
politics that soon possesses one. Like Hercutio
we feel - like saying, "A plague o' both your
houses." We cantiotlelp thinking that as both
Greece.and Rome•-•now the two great subjeets'of
Ituropetut atialc4-- - are Janda Of &lisle sanctity, •
each will be protected from the Obviation and
Turkbh heathen,. The trgie of public opinion ,
hangs over both. , ,
"I know the world will never let, me starve,"
I once beard a rualkor genius and reputation say;
and thus may Rome and Athens exclaim: -
"Let the heathen' rail; the world will never set,
us overcome !" •
Talking of the studios, their name is legion. I
have lists of the traits of each nation now living
in Rome. Of cotarse those of my own country
Dave the preference in the order of visiting, and
I am graduillygoing to each - eine.
As I said above, it lea fascinating occupation.
Let us take one morning for example. We will
begin with Hasiltiesktlie Landscapist, as the
French say. We were lne.ky enough to find the
artist in. Ile was engaged on; a plat= taken
from his various studies of Capri. It represented
the coast rind a detaihed rock near the shore.
The artist has caught a peculiarity':in his :
tare which I have observed in volcanic rocks
that jut up on this Mediteninean sea. I no
ticed it taped:lily this ;autumn; when our vatic'
lay beealmed among the Lipari Islands,, just a'
bait mile off of flaming, thundiring old Strom
boll. The small rocks seemed as If they were
floating on the surface of the water; some of ;
them appeared almost tilting and swaying, and/
at a distance looked' like ships. Mr. Haseltine's
rock has this same appearance.
I cannot mention all the clever pictures we saw
at Mr. Haaeltlne's and elsewhere, as I have not
sufficient time. Mr. Haseltine Is a Philadelphian
by birth, and as our townsman, we have a right .
to be proud of him. From his studio we drove
to that ofMr. Tilton. He is an artist of a totally
different style. On an easel in one of his rooms
is a large picture of Pwattun, only half com
pleted, Indeed not yet touched with coler. bat
worked up in every part evenly, in perfect bal
ance and harmony—a true academie style. The
Paestum story,too, Is told with poetic feeling, and
the. sentiment and tenderness, though classic, is
none the less felt for that. In another room we
saw some finished pictures,and vex) , beautiful they
are—one of Rome, taken from the Aventine hill,
and looking down through the Tiber on this grand
old city. There were views of Venice, Bwitaer
land and Lucca; but I brought away, dagnerreo
typed on my memory, Mr. Tilton's rich pictures
of the Venitian beats, those with bright-eolored
a group of them that lay on tTaii - Nrciter i nn urrat
Haut poppies,.
We reserved to the last Mr. Church's studio
and his "Damascus." This picture is not com
pleted, it is true, but it im!nevertheless a poem
on canvas. It Is one of those landscapes onetuay
look at again and again without tiring.
"I am' glad you think so," said Mr. Church,
when I expressed my opinion to him; "for,"
'added he with a good-natured laugh. "the critics,
I believe, say I have not mush poetry in sne."
Damascus Ilea in the distance at the right-hand
corner of the picture, bathed in sunlight. At the
left hand of the foreground is a spur of the Anti-
Manion range at the eastern base of which the
Damascus plain lie&
A rich, ruddy dash of sunlight rests on the
dope of this mountain, and at the foot is the
dark opening of an old tunnel made ages ago for
the irrigation of the country. The dark moun
tain 1110111, with its mysterious volcanic lines,
telling, as ridges and wrinkles on the human
face, of some unknown but tragic history; the
black tunnel-opening and, the red sunlight, con
trast finely with the golden city in the distance.
Between the two lies the plain, which washes
up against the mountain base—a perfect sea of
green. There are to be a few scattered build
ings and some bits of ruined wall at this moun
tain foot, which will heighten the idea of the sea,
for they will seem like foam.
Across this ocean of verdure spreads a broad
flood ' of sunlight, which 1/athes the road, and
leads up in exquisite harmony of heightening
tone to the far-ofiDamasem; it is like a path in
Paradise might be, and the distant city is a Now
Jerusalem, glowing with almost unearthly light.
When we called it a glimpse of Paradise, Mr
Church said:
"I never had a clear Idea of Eden until after I
visited that country."
flo ended our morning's visits to the studios,
and as it is near mall-closing my letter must also
end, and yet I have not told half of all I lave to
say. A few items of news will conclude my gos
sip, however.
Archbishop Manning is expected to winter in
Rome, and the Prince and Princess of Wales are
to be here at Easter.
Chrstmas Eve, Mr. Hotiker, the Beaker, gives
his usual soiree. lam told that his entertain
ments are as a.greeable as hotipitable. I saw yes
terday one of the programmes of the music, he
will give his guests; besides other pieces, there
will be performed the music sung at the Aurora
Mass of St. Peter's on Christmas morning. The
singers engaged are artists of reputation, and a
delightful evening is anticipated.
The Christmas Rites are as fatiguing as at
tractive. Some ladies,funaticas for that style of
music, intend to pass all the night of Christ
mttei, eve at the Vatican and St. Peter's. The
vespers are at 8 o'clock in the evening at the
Sistine, with the Gregorian chants and old
Christmas music of . Palestrina. At midnight a
Mass will be sung in St. Peter'te—at 3 o'clock in
the morning the Aurora; Mace will be sung,
and at" 9' o'clock In the morning is the grand
High Mass—the great Christmas spectacle also at
St. Peter's. The pageant is said to be superb,
and the coup &ail that, can be obtained from one
of the balconies, especially thiit over St. Vero
nica, is very fine. The whole effect was designed
by Michael Angelo, and is an artistic adaptation
of the old miracle plays.
If lam lucky enough to get a seat in one of
these balconies, ,as I'hope to, I shall report upon
the great sight. But wherever I may be in the
magnificent old church, whether in tribune or
balcony, I shall hear the strange 'old music and
the blast of theAlver trumpets. • 1.

'Thatiew. Orleans Reptib!lean of - tho 14th con
talon the following particulars of the explosion
of the steamer Glide, by which Major Randall
Marston, of this city, was fatally hurt;
About five o'clock. Tuesday evening the stent
wheel steamer Glide. Captain Muse, left this port
for Grand Ecore. When at Valconraime's
plan
,ration,,'fortp•nine miles above this city, she ran
aground; and shortiv afterward, between twelve
and one o'clock at nlght, her larboard boiler ex
ploded, destroying almost every vett of the`boat.
The Ellesmere J. G. Blackford, Captain _Pickett
and Thomas Powell, Captain Dinvant, running
up about a mile and a half astern, soon came to
her assistance , and took off all the wounded and
thosewho escaped, and transferred them to the
steamer Governor Allen.
Mr. Middleton, one of the wounded men, and
who was part owner.of the boat, states that the
explosion.took place at about one o'clock, in the
morning ' near College Polnt,and that there were
probably forty persons on the boat at the time
of the occurrence.
The appearance of some of the sufferers at the
hoepital la horrible in the extreme. Several are
scalded from head to foot, their eiallds even bay
ing huge blisters on them, their, lips so swollen
as almost to render their separation impossible,
and: the skin peeling from their bodies at the
slightest touch.
The Piectvine says:
AmOng the passengers who were badly scalded
was Brevet Major M. A. Marston, of the First
United States Infantry, who bad been ordered by
General Rousseau to investigate the killing of

Xt was stated in the evening papers yesterday
that the explosion must have been caused by the

real cause of the explosion was either a defect or
neglect
The Glide was built in Pittsburgh in 1863, and
had thre u e high-pressure boilers, the port one of

of Ikea] Inspectors of this district August 24,

tonnage was 233 forts, and she had the reputation
of being a very fast boat.

Th. Ebner /Explosion at Elizabeth,
'New Jersey.
Saturday's Ihmurrrn contained a despatch giv
ing the particulars of a terrible boiler explosion
at Elizabethport, N. J., by which two men were
instantly killed,and seven wounded. The explo
sion occurred;at No. 34 Clinton street,on Friday.
John Ritter, who was at work near the boiler
when it exploded, was`fearfully scalded, and died
at 2 o'clock on Saturday morning.
Stanley Miller, who was also scalded,
Is in a very critical condition, and
will not probably survive. An inquest was held
by Coroner Braun, on Friday afternoon, over the
bodies of John Hess Captain of the barge Wil
derness, and Mr. Benjamin H. Winans, into
whose store the boiler penetrated, during which
the fact was elicited that the boiler—at the time
of the explosion—had no safety-valve, that article
having been detached and sent to New York for
repairs. An inspector had pronounced the boiler
safe in July or August last, but had requested
that another safety-valve be procured. This Mr.
George Woode had refused to procure, on the
plea that its cost (about $100) would be too great.
At the time of the explosion there was a pressure
of 80 pounds of steam on, but the engine gener
ally dislits work with 50. When tbo explosion
occurred, the eng,ine was in charge of a son of
the proprietor, a bid of 13. He testified that on
some occasions-he had run the engine with 100
pounds of Artesia The inquest was adjourned
until to-day. There is much indignation ex
pressed by the citizens of Elizabetbport against
Woode for his culpable neglect. This explosion
was shortly followed by another at the Rolling
Mills, oh Front street, but fortunately, although
many men were at work in the building, there
was no loss of life. The mill will net he in ope
ratAon for several days, as the explosion , necessi
tated extensive repairs

PhIENITAN Cuba, Jan. 14, VIA KEY WEST, Flo
rida, Jan. 17, 18694---A force of Spanish infantry,
numbering about 1,800 men, arrived here yester
day. It is stated that they will leave shortly for
the scene of operations.
News from .Pnerto Principe reports that heavy
rains were failing, rendering the roads eo bad flit
to be ahnostimpassable. The insurgents husieg
ing the town state that they are actively engaged
in concentrating an army of 10,000 men for 'the
purpose of making a vigorous assault upon the
place, and are confident of being able to carry it
by storm. They are reported as being plentifully
supplied with excellent small, arms and have at
present eight ideces of artillery.
The commander of the besieged Spaniards in
Puerto Principe Is aware of the preparations
which'are going on to attack him, and is hard at
work placing the town in a thoroughly defensive
position. A large number of laborers are en
gaged in fcrtifying and numerous barricades have
been erected on the streets. The Spanish force
numbers about 8,1100 men.
The Peace Commission s from Havana has ar

It is very doubtful, however,, if the commission
will succeed in effecting a peace.

—The first careen of the Philhartionic Society
was given at the Academy of Music on Saturday
evening to a large audience. The orchestra was
very large for Philadelphia, numbering nearly
seventy good performers. For a lirsterform
ance it was excellent, and many good ju dg es
have
expressed the opinion that that there has not
been a better one of a symphony in Philadelphia
than that of Beethoven in A major, since the days
of Jullien's orchestra. The selection from Lur
line and the Jubilee overture were also admirably
given, and for a first concert of the PhiladelphLa
Philharmonic Society, the success was decided
and gratifying, even though the critical
may have discovered some blemishes.
Mlle. Camilla tirrio's violin performance
was wholly unexceptionable; and Mr, Jarvis gave
a Chopin concerto with his usual spirit and skill.
It is announced that the February 13th cone-en
will have an excellent programme,including Men.
delseohn's Scotch Symphony, a Beethoven sonata
played by lir.Cari Wolfsohn,and a violoncello by
that excellent artist Rudolph Hennig.
—lt is announced that Madame Josephine
Schimpf will give a concert at Coneert Hall, on
the evening of Feb. 3d. The particulars have not
yet been published, but we are assured that the
entertainment will be of the most brilliant charac
ter. A number of eminent artiste have been en
gaged, and an attractive programme prepared.
—The popularity of the Senta-Hassler orches
tra matinees was shown on Saturday by the im
mense audience in the Musical Fund Hall. The
Reformation Symphony was received with great
favor, the allegro ervece being encored.Hohnstock's

. entiefactioa by its
elevated style and fine coloring. It must long
hold the popular favor both for its superior in
strumentation and beautiful moivos. The ifitil
leolumbia was announced by the horns with thril

hear Jerome Hopkins, whose active efforts in
New York for the advancement of art have
spread his name far and wide. Reims &vigorous,
nervous style, deals in broad contrasts, and
lays his colors on to produce etarfiing effects:
As a pianist, he posseatet the advantage of
soon enlisting the attention Of his' audience. and
holding to it to the end of the piece. His Mer
maid Rhapsody was ,vociferously applauded and
warmly deserved an encore.- Mr. Hopkins played
upon an excellent Webergrand piano—
the same Which was need at the Inc Parepa
Concerts. The failure to play Mr. Hopkins's

that there had not been sufficient I],

Drexel,- Esti., is Justly the subject of pride to our•

years in Europe and America, by Mr. H. T. Al

largely increased by the purchase of the splendid
collections of the • late. Dr. La Roche, AD enthu

been. added by recent importations, and all the
newest works on music are purchased by Mr.

The authority of law by which it is made id Set
forth in the proclamation itself, which expressly .
affirms that it was issued by virtue of the power

and in the name of the sovereign people of
the United States, and proclaims and
declares unconditionally and without reservation
to all and every person who direaly or indirectly
participated in the late insurrection or rebellion
a tall pardon and amnesty for the otibuce donee
son against the United States, or -' of
adhering to their enemies , during the
late mO,, war, with restoration of ; ,
rights, privileges and immunities under the.Volk.
sUtution and the laws which have been mania

ment provides that the President - Wall have
power to grant reprieves and-pardons' for f eit.:
