Mr.. „Knight's Paintings.-Bailey'slimpor.
D. ll... Knight is engaged on the largest paint
itig he has executed hitherto, a full-length life
size portrait of Gen. Meade. It is an, order
from gentlemen connected with the Philadel
_ phia Union League, and , to . be presented for
the decoration of , the League .HOu.se.
._.The
hero of Gettysburg stands draivn up to his Tull
height on the slope of, Cemetery Hill, his face
to the enemy and the smoke of our• artillery
relieving his figure. His horse, held by a
young soldier, is Waiting behind him, and the
animal, as well as the two human figures, is a
portrait. A detachment of infantry is' seen
sweeping round to . meet the rebel charge.
Meade holds his field-glass, and watches the
action in atrattitude of admirable simplicity,
:watchfulness and natural dignity. ' This por
trait, which has engaged Mr. Knight during a
great part of the summer, and for which he
has had ample sittings from the general, is
now well advanced, and bids 'fair to' be his
masterpiece.
A crowd is found constantly around Mr.
Knight's last picture, "The Duenna Asleep,"
in its temporary resting-place in Bailey's win
dow, at Twelfth and Chestnut streets.' The
speaking action of the group—its suggestion of
an interesting story-the animation of all the
faces represented, as / though lust; ready to
move and express th'emselves mote fully,
give this picture all the - attributes of popu
larity.

this interview, but I have what follows from
the most reliable sources : Napoleon mani

he and his uncl e were indebted for their thrones
to the sovereign Will of the people,and that he
in consequence would treat with the greatest
marks of respect any monarch elected by the
national will of the :Spaniards. He would. not
conceal the deep chagrin the election of Mont.
pensier would occasion him, nor could lie
avoid urging the expediency of accepting, his
protege, Altonso de Bourbon. He concluded
by saying that up to the present moment he
bad bad no idea of the rapid growth of the
Republican party, and warmly urged.. the
necessity of preventing its triumph,
since the creation of a republic in Spain
would endanger the peace of all. Europe.
General Prim replied that there was no danger
of 3lontpensier's' coming to the -throne,on
account of his extreme unpopularity. Ato
Alfonso de Bourbon, his case was almost as
hopeless, since his only friends belonged to
the aristocracy, :who, for the. present, Were
quite unable to assist him.' The Republic ? he

THE FINE ANTIS.
Ward's Seventh Regiment Soldier.
A crowd of improvised critics is constantly
gathering in Ridge avenue, below Spring Ciar
den street, to inspect the statue of "The Sol
dier of the 'Seventh Regiment," by. Ward, in
front of Robert Wood & Co.'s foundry. This"
fine bronze, destined for the New York. Cen
tral Park, will be removed on Monday, and is
of sufficient merit to repay an ' excursion to
the spot. Ward has represented an ordinary
private of the crack New York regiment,

, After Ms Death, What?
The Paris correspondent of the New. York
J'inics says
The Emperor ' made his 'appeaxance:
the Long-champs races Sundayand
the effect of the effort was at once to cause an
advance in thepublic sectuities.. Those, how
iiver, Who had an 'opportunity of Observing
His Majesty on the course were not much ha
pressed with the 'improvement which is said
;to have taken place in hiseneral health: Ris

;walking around the inclosere,leaning on .the
arm of his equerry, he exhibited evidence of
great feebleness. , ',Little or no enthusiasm
Was manifested by the crowd at His Majesty's
presence. . • :
It is remarkable that the Prince. Imperia
`is closeted very frequently with his father,
-and that their conversations are of hing . dura:
As they constitute rather anew feature

precarious .conditionevery deViation 'from.

actual fact. The Empress is said to have been.
very much affected on 'taking leave of her

she should have been so. Leaving aside the
uncertainty attending the Emperor's health,
the. present conjuncture of affairs is not one
calculated to reassure her. Things are likely
to occur In her absence which will affect
materially her personal interests and, rela
tions. 1 have explained to you. la my
former letters„ the motivcs for tue Em

We shall now see whether lam right :in my

of the situation. Let it not be 'supposed
that the' Emperor wasso entirely---n
stranger to the speech which •he recently
delivered in the Senate as was assumed
at t e • Me. e genera . e •ef now, is that it
was more-or lessinspired by him.: _Be that -as
it - may, it has placed - the Prince in a situation
to command any object of ambition short of
Hie throne." .Nothing can 'be done with him no* but to give him snch a share of political
power :as.. will content him. 'To make hint
Regent t - in place of the Empress, would
be to strengthen. not - ;weaken - the
chances of the dynasty. Eugene is too re
actionary in her tendencies, and has too many
sympathies, Viith Rome, to satisfy the French
people. -She would not be allowediu- hold the
reins of power six months. How "much more
prudent then would it not be to alter the pro
vision in the Constitution which accords to
her the guardianship of her son; and to confer it
non a man whose family obligations, declard
liberality bf views and undeniable talents-as a
statesman eminently qualify him for the trust?
This, there is reason: to believe, is the 'Empe= ,
ror's opinion, and he has only been prevented
from giving effect, to it by the determined op-_
position of his wife. It remains to be seen
whether he will profit by her absence to carry
out his wishes. He certainly could not pro
mote better his son's interests than by doing so.
Illajor.Generaii Belknap. -
Major -General William Belknap, the
new tiecretary of War, is a native. of the city
• of Hudson, N. Y.. He is 38 yearsof age, pos
sses a fine personal appearance, and a consti
tution that gives evidence of a man who eau.
endure the greatest amount of mental •and
physical labor without fatigue. His father
was Brigadier -General Belknap, who,. in,
the war of, 181:4, entered the army as a, volun
teer, and was soon:promoted from the - ranks
for good conduct. He was, wounded severely,
at ' the battle of , Port . Erie, and was
one of the few officers, created by the exi
gencies of the war, who was retained in
"service' after peace was - declared; After
serving,a short time at West Point as instruc
tor of infantry tactics, he expressed desire
for active.semice, and from that time (1819) to
the year of his .death (1851 The was more con
stantly on duty than probably any other of
ficer of the Begular-Army.-- For good conduct
in the Florida war, lie,was brevetted Lienten
ant-Colonel. At the battles of Pah:i.Alto and
Resaca de la Palma, on the Bth and 9th of
May, 1146,- he--was -practically- the second in
command under General Taylor, and won for
himself the character of a gallant soldier by
his meritorious conduct: He remained with
General Taylor, and was brevetted. Brigadier-
General - for gallant conduct at the battle of
Buena Vista. -" • '
The present Secretary of War possesses many
•of the. qualities of his distinguished father.
He has the came taste for business and love of
discipline. Dependent alinost entirely through
life upon himself, his father being constantly
on the frontiers, with no income save the pay
of an officer of the army, young Belknap met
his future with cheerfulness, became a pro-'
rector to his father's family, and educated him
self without taxing the limited income that was
needed for the support of those toward whom
he has throughout his life been singularly
devoted;
On the death cif his father, Gen. Belknap
moved from Hudson, with his father's family,
and sought a home in the then very new State
of lowa. 'With theresolute spirit of a pioneer
dependent upon his own exertions for success,
he established a home and commenced the
practice of law. He was very rapidly gaining
the respect of the community in which he
lived, and began to be looked up to as a future
leader in the enterprises, both financial and
political, which atlected the interests of
his adopted State. It was then, while
circumstances were preparing a bril
liant future, that the rebellion broke
out. The tiring on Fort Sumter summoned
him to the field, and like Grant, Rawlins, and
other heroes of the West, he promptly aband
oned his civil pursuits, and early in 1861 eni=
tered the Army as, Major of the 15th lowa
volunteers. He commanded the regiment in
the battle of Shiloh, and for gallantry in that
engagement was prothoted to Lieutenant-
Colontl, and made Provost-Marshal of the
Fifteenth ArmY Corps. He afterward rejoined
his regiment as Colonel, and ' took
part in the attack on ' Vicksburg.
After the fall of that stronghold
he was brevetted Brigadier-General, and led
the lowa Brigade in the. Atlanta campaign.
Be took part in the battle of the 2nd of July,
when Gen. McPherson'was killed, and was
afterward made a full - Brigadier-General for
inaction. He marched to the .sea
with Gen. Shernian, and when the army
reached 'Sa,vannah \he brevetted Major-
General. commanded a division in

The Result in Pennsylvania.
The New, York Times , says
The Republican 'triumph, in Pennsylvania is
rendered all the more satisfactory, by the diffi
culties under which it was accomplished. To
widespread apathy was added the weakness
incident to the hostility, cherished by . many
Republicans to the present State 'Administra
tion. That tioVeimor GearY 'has fallen behind
the rest of the ticket is less surprising than
that he is elected at, all--seeing that
his nomination' was ~in spite of
the opposition .of _powerful leaders, who,
Moreover, showed ,more than' indifference
during the canvass.: Victory achieved in the

41.311USEMENTS.
—Auber's comic opera, The Black Domino,
was produced at the Academy lost night .for
the first time since its performance at the old
Chestnut street theatre, twenty odd years ago,
by Mile. Calve and a French company. It is
a very charming work,filled with light, spark
ling music, but containing . so much dialogue
, that good actors and, a smaller theatre than the
Academy are required for its successful per
formance. Madame Rosa's company contains
very few of the fernier, and so what the
; librettist intended for comedy was transformed
. into something very much like melodrama; by
two or three of the actors. Mr. Hall has a
very indefinite idea of stage business; Mrs
Lawrence has none at all, and besides this he'
speaks his lines without any regard for their
meaning, with the emphasis always upon the;
Most unreasonable words.' Mr. Lawrence'
sang tolerably well last night, but he did an
exceedingly foolish thing. when he introduced
an elaborate Italian aria into a, comic -French
opera siruplyfor the purpose of displaying his
voice; but with the effect of eNhibiting more
Painfully his entire ' want ' - of' l*tri=

was nothing in the appearance of the ground 4 '

point it out as more likely than otherplaces in
