The thxee pioturea on view at Earle's Gallery, 816
Chestnut street, have attracted considerable atten
tion. The first, entitled “ The Cates of the Sag*
quehanna,” Is a noble painting by Air. Lewii, a
young FhilAdelphUn artut of great ability and'
rising reputation, whose earlier efforts in the art
(a bcautilul series of sketches in Cuba) we noticed
a few years ago, with a thorough conviction that
the painter would aebieve renown* No youog
artist among us has made greater or more steady
advance in his profession than Mr. Lewis, aad his
view of the beautiful Susquehanna is evidence of •
this*
A second painting, by O. Schnssele, a Philadelphian
by adoption, Is entitled 11 American Inventors,” and
represents a number of our Men- of Progress,
Whether In science, mechanics, or art, grouped
around Professor Morse, who Is explaining the
principle of his electric telegraph, This mode of
treating the subject has evidently been suggested by
various pictures executed by Mr, Feed, a Scottish
painter, .well known in this country by his works—
**Shakepeare and his Friends,” Sir Walter Scott
and his Friends,” and a picture of Dr. Samuel John
son, surrounded by his. associates, having been en>
griv£l and largely gold here. There is a goodly
group of eminent men, the real benefactors not only
of their native land, but of the world at large. Of
all only three represented here have ceased to live,
but their names will not be forgotten. One or the
best likenesses is that of Colonel Richard Hob, In
ventor of “the lightning press,” by means of which
not only this journal is printed, but the leading jour,
nals Cf England, including The Times, Of this pic
ture a tine engraving has been made, (by Mr. Sar
tain, we believe,) and we hope to hear of its becoming
as popular as it deserves. Mr. Schussele has been
verykuoceaaful here, not only in the portraiture, but
in giving a sort of sciion which prevents the group
ing from being stiff or awkward. The engraving is
on the scale of Faed’s Shaksperian group.
.“ The Derby Day,” by Frith, the well-known Eng
lish artist, is also on view at Messrs. Earle’s gallery.
This, we believe, is a rtplica or duplicate, painted
by the artist himself,—the original remaining in
London, for the use of Auguste Bianohard, who is
executing a line engraving of it,—one of the finest
works of the modern burin, as might be expected
from the price, whiob, Mr. Earle tells us, will be
$5O for prints and $l3O for proof impressions. The
aitist has received about $20,000 for this picture,—
the largest sum ever paid for any English painting.
Mott of our readers know that, in the spring of
every year, the Derby Cup is run for at Epsom
Saoes, near London, and so attractive io the con
test, that even the Parliament, always in session
at the time, invariably adjourns over “the Derby
Day,” to permit the members of both Houses to
witness the sport. Mr. Frith has represented a
scene on the race course, not far from the Grand
Stand, when the racers are just being walked
to the scales for the purpose of the respec
tive joekies being weighed. The picture pre
sents lour views in one. At the left Is a gambling
tent, that fatal road to ruin, outside of which is a
group of sharpen, who have just “cleaned out” a
greenhorn, technically called “ a pigeon”—he is a
diminutive youth, who has gambled away all he
possessed, remaining not only with pockets to let,
bat having lost watch and chain, shirtstudi, sleeve*
buttons, and all.- His miserable look is enough to
haunt a man. On the opposite side oi the picture is a
lorette, the sole occupant of a barouehe, to whom a
giptey offers a little of her prophetic lore. Poor
thing, she look as if the Past rather than the Future
were occupying her sad thought. In contrast with
this fair, fallen creature, near whom lounges her
iriend for the day, a dissipated man of fkshlon, are
two beauties in a carriage making up their betting
books with a couple of young officers. More to the
centre, a juggler is performing .some of his feats, in
which he will be asaitted by his small son, a child
who can scarcely keep his eyes off the luxuriant
luncheon which a little “ tiger ” is unpacking for the
ladies. But we cannot catalogue all the points in
this attractive picture. It is true to fact, and this
is its great merit. At the same time, detail and
breadth are here.mingled with great skill. It eon.
tslns the materials for a dozen pictures. Its popu
larity has not surprised us.
MAKING! THE
'A recent publication, by Virtue, Brothers & Co.,
London, la, “A Popular Treatiae onSPhotography,”
translated from the French of D. Van Monckhoven,
by W, fl. Tuoruthwaite, Here la a complete Hand
Boob of a difficult but charming branch of aaientiSc
manipulation. In 139 pages, lsmo., which lncludea
an index, here aie given the various proceaaea by
which pictures can bo obtained by the Dsguerreo
tj pe proceaa, on polished metal plates; by the Calo
type, or Talbotype, on paper; by Albumen, on a
film of,albumen on glass, and by Collodion, on a
film of collodlon on glass. Each of these processes
la rendered clear by engravings, Illustrative of all
.the artloles employed to produce light pictures. We
believe that, by carefully following the Instructions
here laid down, a good self-taught photographer can
easily be made. The fourteenth chapter treats of
the Stereoscope. There are 112 engravings In this
little treatise. We are so sincere In our belief of its
value, tbat, if any one will only take the trouble
of presenting us with the apparatus, necessary
chemicals, and other materials, we hereby promise
to give him a portrait of himself, not later than the
first of April. This treatise is on sale by J. Penlng

street.
We have the Hatch number of the Eclectic Maga
zine, supplied by Hr. W. B. Zieber, South Third
street. It contains the best article, in the leading
British periodicals—for example, In this number,
from the British Quarterly, London Quarterly, Eclectic,
National, and Popular Science Reviews; from Fraser's,
Blackwood's, and the Dublin, University Magazines, end
from Good Words and Chambers' Journal. The por
trait this month is' that of Hr. Oobden, the weU
known member of Parliament. Thrioe on the oover
and twice in thq-body of the magazine mention is
made of “the Hon. Riohard Oobden.” As Hr.
Bidwell, the editor, has visited England and
mixed in good society there, his blundering
in this manner is surprising. A member of
the British House of Commons is not entitled, as
such, to the prefix “Honorable” to his name. If a
member of the Privy CounoU, which Hr, Oobden is
not, he would be addressed or spoken of as "Right
Honorable.” No one bears the courtesy title of
“Honorable,” in England, except the descendants,
male and female, of peers. Therefore, Hr. Oobden,
not being of noble deseent, though a member of Par
liament by popular election, must be properly ad
dressed as “ Riohard Cobden, E«q.” If the wojfd
“Hon.” were placed before his name, in England, it
would be laughed at, as showing ignorance on the
part of the person so addressing him. - The Eclectic,
now in its sixty.first volume (it publishes three each
year), is an excellent periodical, which we always
read with pleaiirre. Ita illustrations, generally por
traits, are well engraved, and. always after the best
likenesses that can be procured.
The Illustrated London Times says that Hr. Thack
eray’s unfinished novel, the publication of which
will be commenced in the ComhiU Magazine for
Hatch, is entitled “ Denis Duval,” and adds, “the
author talked of Inventing a prettier title, some
thing about the course of true love ; but he died, and
the original title stands as he left It,”
It was incorrectly stated that Dir. Tom Taylor
wonld immediately produce a biography of Thaoke
»y. The error probably arose from the fact that a
Hr. Theodore* Taylor, who knew him wen In Farif,
has already published a volume called “ Thackeray,
the Humorist and the Man of Letters ; Aneedotea
of His Life and Literary Labors, with some particu
lars of his Early Career, never before made public.”
- We have hot yet Seen any notice of this In the Sag
' lish papers, but believe that, it gives the history o
The Browmepaper Magazine, which was partly edited
by Hr. Thackeray, at Cambridge. His first essay in
litsrature, while yet at sehbbl, was a little perlodi'oal
called The Snob.
One of -the beneficial remits of the war is the pre
parationand publication of numerous and valuable
works on all branches of naral and military ssienoe.
This literature is the fruit of observation, expe
rience, and judgment. Little of it is merely theore
tical. Hr. Van Nostrand, a New York publisher,
has distinguished himself by the number, variety,.,
and merit of worka of this class. We have Counted;
over fifty such books in his catalogue, and conside
ring that most of them are high-priced from the ha.
cessity of introducing wood-cuts, line engravings,
lithographs, plans, and sectioni, maps, and even
chromo-lithographs, the demand for them shows that
our commissioned officers In both services, who must
be the principal purchasers, have a very creditable
desire to acquire the best professional knowledge.
Among the most recent works are a few which we
may here notice, cn passant.- '■ Squadron Taotise
under Steam,'.' by Foxhall A. Parker, Commander
U. S. N., is an Bvo. volume of 172 pages, with se
venty-seven lithographed illnatrations, brought out
by authority ol the Navy Department. The author
seeks to adapt military to naval taotlcs, believing
“ that the'wlnds, waves, currents, and tides of the
ocean present no more serious obstaeles to the
movements and manoeuvres of a steam- fleet than the
inequalities of the snrlaoe of the earth present to
the movements and manoeuvres of an army. He
theielore regards a fleet as an army, whose
diviaious, brigades, regiments, and oompanlea
have eaoh their appropriate representatives
afloat.” He promises to treat fully of Naval
Warfare, in a forthcoming book on Fleet Taotlcs
under Steam..... “ Strategy and Tactics,” by General
Dufour, Chief of the General Staff of the Army
of Switzerland, has been translated from the
latest French edition by Captain W. P. Oraighlll,
lately one of the Professors at the U. S. military
Academy,: west Point. This is a volume of 440
pages, with illustrations in the bod; of the text.
The author wrote hla-book in the plainest language,
for the officers of .the. Series army, illustrating hts
advice by examples left by Napoleon and other great
generals, and such a work Is precisely what our
own officers require..... Another or Hr. Van Nos

THE RICHMOND PRISONS.
Narrative of Col. Strelght—The Horrors of
Rebel Captivity Fully Confirmed.
Washington, Thursday, March 3,— C01. Straight
has addressed the following interesting account of
his captivity and the treatment of our prisoners at
Richmond to the House Military Committee:
Agreeably to your request, I: have the honor
to report the following facts In relation to the
treatment of our officers and men by the ‘ rebel
authorities. It la impossible for me to give you
an account of all tbe acts of bafbarity, inhuma
nity, wd bad faith I have witneeyea daring my
captivity, but -T will endeavor to' mention, such
instances as will give you as correct an idea of.
tbe true condition of our men as possible. On the
third el ay of May last, near Borne, Georgia, my com
mand having become so reduced by hard fighting and
marching during the seven day* previous that it was
evident to me that we, about fifteen hundred officers
and men, would fall Into the hands of the enemy,
and after holding a council or war with my regi
mental commanders, it was decided to capitulate,
and thus seoure the best terms possible for the com
mend ss a condition of surrender. In accordance
with this deoislon I met the rebel commander, Ge
neral Forrest, under a flag of truce, where a stipula
tion wls entered Into between him and myself,
whereby it was agreed that my command should sur
rtnder as prisoners of war on the following condi
tions—to wit: . . ... . .
First. Each regiment should be permitted to re
tain their colors.
Second. The officers were to retain their side
ftrißß.
Third. Both officers and- men were to retain their
haversaoks, knapsacks, and blankets, and ail private
property of every description was to be respected
and retained by the owner.
7BBIT2DY OF TB3 RBBBLB TOWARD COL. STBBIOHT
AND HIS COMMAND.
The above terms were In a measure respected
while we remained with* General Forrest; but no
sooner were we turned over to the rebel authorities
than a system of robbery commenced which coon
relieved ns of everything valuable In our possession.
The blankets, haversacks, and knapsaoks were
taken from my men at Atlanta. Tney were also
. rdbbed of nearly all their money, and most of them
lost their overcoats at the above named plaoe, Here,
too, the colors and side-arms were taken from us.
Hy men were turned into an enclosure without
shelter of any kind, destitute of blankets and over
coats, as I have before stated, and kept uader guard
four days, during wbloh time a most disagree
able cold storm prevailed, after whloh they were
sent forward to Richmond, and soon exchanged.
My officers were sent to Richmond after a stay of
about ten days in Atlanta. On our arrival at the
rebel aapltal, we were * all searched separately, and
all moneys found In our possession were taken from
us. For a few days thereafter we were allowed to
draw small sums of our money for the purpose of
purchasing food. But this privilege was soon de
nied us. I then asked and obtained permission from
the rebel authorities for the offlaers to send home
for money, clothing, and provisions. The slothing
and provisions were generally delivered to the par
ties ordering them, provided the package or box
eontalning them was not broken open, and rifled of
Its contents before It reaohed Its aestinatloD, which
was frequently the case. But in no case within my
knowledge has the money been delivered to the
owner. The detention of this money, after express
ly agreeing to deliver it, Is an act of perfidy that
beggars description. I have repeatedly called the
attention or the rebel authorities to the terms of
my surrender, and demanded that its provisions be
complied with. Bnt Gen. "Winder, ormmsndsnt of
the prisoners, took from me the stipulations signed
by Gen. Forrest, which he still retains, and refutes
to be governed by its provisions.

DEGRADATION AND CRUEL SUFFERING.
My offieert, together with something near one
thousand other United States officers, are confined
in a large warehouse building, with an average
space of about twenty-five square feet to each man.
This Includes all room for washing, cooking, eating,
sleeping, and exeroising. Tbey have no bunks,
ohaus, or seats of any kind furnished them, conse
quently they both sit snd sleep on the floor. The
Windows of the building were enureiy open ;untn
about tbe middle of December last, when pieces, of
canvas were furnished for the purpose or dosing
them to keep the eold out, but, ss this would leave
us In thedark, we were oompelled to leave a portion
of them open and endure the oold.Many of the officers
were entirely destitute ol blankets until our Go vern
ment sent a supply to us in the forepart df the winter.
The supply ol blankets is now exhausted, and offi
cers who have been captured during tbe last arx
weeks have nonelurnisned them. The. rations fur*
nished both officers and men by thercbels consist
of about one pound of oorn-bresd, made from un
bolted meal, and one-fourth of a pound of poor froth
meat per day. The meat haa been issued to the
prisoners but abouthalf of the time since the Ist of
December last. In addition to the rations of bread
and meat, ac above stated, the.phsouers drawaoout
two quarts df rice to one hundred men. There la a suf
ficient quantity of colt furnished, and a very email
quantity of vinegar. I will here remark that in *a
low instances, say six or eight times at most, 4 small
quantity of tweet potatoes has been issued instead
of the rations of meat. The above Is the sum total
of the rations Issued to our officers and men now
priioners of WAb The condition or our unfortunate
enlisted men now in the bsndc oi the enemy ia much
worse than that of the officer*. From early in Hay
lact, when I arrived at Richmond, to about the first
of December, all the enlisted men were taken to
what is called Belie- Isle, and turned Into an enclo
sure like so many cattle into a slaughter pen. Very
fewot them bad . tents or shelter of any kind, and
the lew tents lurnisbed were so poor and leaky as to
render them but little better than none. AU the
prisoners axe taken to the Libby when they flret ar
rive in Richmond, for the purpose of counting them
and enrolling their names, consequently I had a fair
chance to cee tbelr condition when they arrived.
Folly one-half of the prisoner! taken since May
last were robbed by their eaptoreof their shoes,
and nearly aU were robbed of their over
coats, blankets, and haversacks. At least one
tblrd of them hsd been compelled to trade their
panta and blouaes for mere tags that would scare*!;
hide their nakedness; very many of them were en
tirely bareheaded, and not a few, a* late a* the mid
dle of Deotmber, were brought in who had nothing
on but an old pair of ragged panta and a *hlrt, being
bareheaded, barefooted, and without a blouse, over
coat or blanket. I have aeen hundreds of our men
taken to the hospital thus olad, and in a dying con
dition. I have frequently visited the hospital, and
have conversed with large numbers of dying men
brought the re from the island, who assured me
that they had been compelled to lie out in the open
air, without any medical attendance, though for •*•
vetal dayc they had been unable to walk. Though
destitute of anything like quarters, and nearly naked
during the cold, stormy, and chilly faU season, the
first and chief complaint of all A^nStv
talked with wason account ofaninaufflolentquantl^

(Tommltree that General Meade, on thenight-of the
fi*at day's fight at Gettysburg, gave an order to re
treat, whioh was rendered Impossible by one of his
corps commanders getting into a tight (some of the
newspaper correspondents knew that the command
er bad a copy of the order in his poeket at tha time),
was made the subjeot of a speech in the Senate yes
terday, in which it was lamented that Meade had
none of the “blundering audacity” of Grant, as the
Richmond Sentinel calls it. It was also made the
opportunity last Sunday of a demand upon the
President, by an eminent Senator, for the removal
ol General Meade. It is said that the War Commit*

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
THE MONEY MARKET.
Philadelphia. March 4, 1881
Gold was not much influenced by the various minors
from the neighborhood of Richmond and those concern
ing oar foreign relations The price was rather steady at
lfit.and a fraction better or worse. The gold hill now
before Congress makes It optional with the Secretary to
sell or not. at his discretion. We hope and think his
di&creilon sufficient to avoid coming on the market aud
selling Government credit at pnblic auction. And, If the
unround financial theorists allow him this privilege, the
subject may be safely left in Mr. Chase’s hands. If it is
argued that the Government lose* the Interest on an ac.
cumulation of gold, why not allow the Secretary to
loan it to responsible parties or banks on interest ? This
eourse would relieve the scarcity which now exists at
times, and the parließ borrowing, on ten days’ call from
Mr. Chase, would have sufficient time to make up the
amount.
Government securities Were in greater demand to-day,
