Instrn mente ln every variety, and of the most apprinrei eon st^cUon. Cjjr floss. 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 ton A Son, Foreign Booksellers, South Seventh 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.

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. how soi/dikbs buvfbkkd snow drath —their 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^ of lood. I will here remark thatinno instance nave the rebel authorities furnished clothing or blanket* thourmeiL During the winter largo numherc of our men were frozen.

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 ?
