Washtnotok, May 21.—We haye had another brigbt and, In all other respects, charming day for the review of the armies of the Tennessee and Georgia. The sidewalks of Pennsylvania avaone and all elevated points were today, as yesterday, occupied by deeply Interested spectators. Fresh ar rivals this morning augmented the already large number of strangers who had especially visited Washington to witness the grand military parade. The tastefully decorated stands near the Executive Mansion were again occupied by President John son, the members of the Cabinet, and Lieutenant General Grant, together with distinguished Army and Navy officers, ehiefs of the Executive Bureaus, the Diplomatic Corps and their ftmllles, and other personages. The vicinity of the reviewing point was densely crowded over a larger area than yes terday, this locality being the most attractive. The Army of the Tennessee moved from .the G> piti Ist nine this morning, proceeding towards the Exicntlve Mansion. At the bead of the column rode Major General Sherman, who was vociferously cheered all along the line, while many clapped their bads and others waved handkerchiefs and mi niature Sags. The greeting of this hero was in the highest degree enthusiastic. H® had been present so with two large wreaths of Sowers, one of whleh was placed around his horse’s neek, and the other resting upon his own shoulder. Major General .Shuman was accompanied by Major General How. ard, fotmerly In command of the Army of the Ten nessee. Next followed Major General Logan, with hls Staff and escort. He yesterday command of this army. Major General Hazen appeared at the head of the command. This corps Is composed of troops from Michigan, Missouri, Ohio, Indiana, Minnesota, Tulaols, lowa, and Wisconsin. The 17th Army Corps was preceded by its com mander, Major General Blair, with bis staff, fol* lowed by the headquarters escort.

The Confederate Government ce&tes to exist. “ The South ceases to be a belligerent when It no longer possesses the means of prosecuting the war, aid as li has already made an admission to that effect In the original convention between JohastOtt and Sherman, no cause o* complaint will be given if the neutral Powers endorse the confession.” The Daily 2v*ws notices, as among the most pleasing foatarts of the recent Intelligence from America, the improved Tjpeli&g of tb© citizens of the United Stall? towards Hngland, and save there are evidences of this on every hand, but they are espe cially visible in the altered tone of their most re presentative newspapers. It claims that, circum stances have-not only Improved the situation and temper of American citizens, out have c»nulbnted to place the English character and motives In truer light. In opposition to this the Morning Herald gives tumors ibat Sir F.

The Daily Netos of the 23th, referring to the above Statement by the Herald, says: “ Moat persons are aware that the Government Of the United -Status considers that It h&s claims upon England for da mage done by the Alabama, and that onr Govern ment Is of contrary, opinion.

The intro duction of the bank note is, however, made the ground of a claim, 41 that the ploturesbe delivered op under the act 26th and 26th of Victoria, c. 98 s. 17, whereby it'is made a felony to make or engrave pn*nt, and all their battles are over. Leading them we see Peace and Victory hand in band. The gallant conquerors of many a hard-fought field are going home to share the blet-smgs they have won for the nation. Taey are not only heroes, but they are the heroes of the LUbUmegr conflict in all history. Tney have been battling tor that great priDCli la of 1 emooracy for which so many valiant martyrs la former times have fallen in vain, and ctey have secured the perpetuity of that Union upon which the hopes of the oppressed of all dimes and countries depend. They are the cbampioT.s of free governments throughout the world. Tim applause which greets them conies n-ic from the Washington crowds alone, n»r from the millions of thotr teliow-cuizeos in all the States; but we oan hear it ringing across the Atlantic, echoed alike from the A‘ps and the Andes, and swelled by the majestic choru* of republican voices from Mexico to Denmark. From one end of the wuld to. the other the people thank our sol diers for having conquered In tue people’s c»u2?* Two , hundred thousand American sol diersato marching on through Washington Every regiment, brigade, and division has leg proud record, which the spectators easterly recall. Those lice fallows fought at Antletam, and those at At-' laitta. Here are the men. who held Lee la a vice, and yotidvr come SheriiShh’a legions, who passed like » sword through tt>e’vitals of the rebellion. R « leave to our correspondents the grateful task of noting the achievements of the troops in Uae, and pause to ask ourselves where their march is to end 1 They are goto* home; but will they stay there long! With one quarter ot the number Scott captured Mexico. Wirh oce-halfof that tremendous army Canada would be ours. With such a body of veterans oar generals could humble the pride of combined lurope. Where will their grand march end ? This is a question which no oae ocn answer now. One thing is, nevertheless, tore. These thousands or soldiers may a«ht no more; their remaining years may be passed in quiet usefulness at thetr homes; one by one t&ev may pass away, honored and beloved by all, like the patriots oi the Revolution; scattered Tar and wide, their bodies may rect sweetly beneath Che flowers end the grasses; but all this while their Boots and those of their sialn comrades will bemarohtog on. Oh—till thrones shake and crumble at the sound of their coming, and are crushed beneath their steady tramp. Oa—till the people everywhere rise and de mand their liberties wtta lovinclole voices. Oi— till no defpot tyrannizes over his fellow-men, ami .no arlstootacy iordß it over the down-trodden masses. On—till every nation is a republic, and every man a freeman. Oa—till the soldiers of Grant, Gherman, and Sheridan have saved the world as they have' saved the Union. On, and on, and on l Slavery iu Aemucky. CFrom ttß IS ©TT "5? orb Tfibni-e, May2l.J The State election in Kentucky, which takes place on the &m Monday la Atuust, will he thin year of more than orolnary interest. The people or Ken tucky Will have to aeolde, through the election of a State litgiKtoture and of members of Congress, whether they will ratity the constitutional amend ment abolishing slavery or cot. Ail the neighboring Scasaa have abolished slavery within their borders, and ratified the e institutional Hjnerdriitnt for the audition of slavery throughout the United States. Thu®* Kentucky iff now ffur rounded on ail sides by frte territory; on the south by Tennissee, oil the west by Missouri, on the north ht Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio, and on the east by West Virginia; and even if she had 1c In her power to prevent the constitutional amendment from oein $ carried, end slavery from being abolished, the Ken« tuck? slaveholders would hereafter find It diffioalt to keep their slaves and to save slavery. The oaso IS So clear that a number of the leading pro*slavery Ujiionfcns, who even at the late November election opposed the Baltimore Platform and were o&gerly iLitDDou saving slavery, have become convinced of tbe usel*Fsaess of their efforts. Among fchoac who have taken this course are Governor Brain* lette, ezUcugreseman Yeamati, and the editor of the JLouh-vihe Journal But of still' greater Irrpitance is the present attitude of the Louisville Jourrat, the most influential paper of the State. Ira. advocacy of the constitutional amendment is unequtvccal and emphatic. Th 9 Journal hay not yet t ecome wise enough to see the moral wrosg-tn volved in slavery, but it learned during the war ©rough of x he unprofitableness of the Institution to 1b bor heartily lor us overthrow. In-its number or May 16. it has ah ‘‘Open.

Ohio was settled In 1768; Ksutuoy lu 1775, and the former dues not appear at all lu the census of 1790, WDen KeDtuoky had a population of 73.077.

J&6O 2 339,611 1860 1,165 ; 684 ‘ From the table above it will be seen that, though by the census oflBoo Kentucky had a greater population than Ohio by 176.000, yet in 1810, while the former had increased in the ratio of 84 per oeat. tbe latter had forward by the eaormou.3 la errand ratio Of 4(8 67 per COfit. J ftDd la twenty years she distanced her drier rival, her decennial Increase between 1810 and 1820 being 15196 per cent, while Kentucky tad fallen off to 88.82 per cent,, whloh dis proportion continued until 1860, when Ohio more than doubled Kentucky, though at the same time our State was burdened with 225 000 slave popula tion. It cannot bo denied that bat for this slave population many thousands more of white? would have settled in the State; and, apart from slavery, there fs no reason why our population Bhould not have kept pace with that of Onto, as the census of 1840 exhibits the fact that tue slaves of Kentuoky increased in a mucu greater ratio than the whites. Again, in 1500 Ohio stood in population as the elgh-. teenth state of the Union suit) Kentucky as the four teenth* The former, In iB6O, bad advanced to the third rank, and the latter still held the Math place —the same that she occupied soon after the census of 1800. 11 Unanswerable as these arguments are, slavery yet retains enough fanatical worshippers to make the electoral campaign Interesting and exolted. One of tbe Kentucky delegates to the last Congress, Mr. Harding, even threatens a “Dew revolution,” if the constitutional rights of Blavery should be dis regarded. Such threats, In view of the astounding developments of the last few weeks, are simply ri diculous; and even if the champions of slavery should be once more successful at the State elec tion, it will have no Influence whatever on the fate of slavery, for the necessary three-fourths majority of the States will soon be found, and the triumph of freedom throughout the Union secured. Dofttli of ft Voting Womnn in Clncittnnti— Ibe Uncle Supposed to be Implicated* [From the Cincinnati G&tttte, May 29. 1 We-gave yesterday morning suoh of the shocking facts, In re'erenoe to the dear-n of & young woman, as had been developed up to that time. 'The partial examination of the case by a coroner’s jury, yester day forenoon, revealed the following history of the affair, some of the facts of which are even more hor«. rible than those we have heretofore detailed. The jury assembled in the premises of the undertakers, Messrs. Boards & Son, where the oorpse had been detained, and satisfied themselves of the actual prtsei.ee of a deceased person. The metallic coffin was opened, from whence emanated such & stench of the decomposing body that but few of the jury men could approach It; and the appearance or the face and head was more horrible than the smell. Tbe rpce was a swollen mass of black distortion, is whloh no trace of female features could be recog nized. It waß hastily left in the hands of the exa* mining physician for tbe purpose of making* post mortem investigation. His report will perhaps be made, to the jury this morning. The coroner and jury then spent some three hours in the examination of witnesses, of which the following Is the substaucs : E. S. Scott first testified that he lives in Moscow, Ohio, and keeps the wharf-boat there ; that he Is tbe uncle of the deceased, her mother being his sister, and that her same was Marla I*. Hood. Her age waB between nineteen and twenty, and she was single; The girl had confided to him the fact, as Hbe had also to her mother, that she was probably enceinte, and feared it resulted from Improper in timacy with a young man of the same village, by the name of Charles Oushard, who promised to marry her “when the war w»8 over.” sue asked nlm to assist her In obtaining relief; said she did not want to apply to the doctors of the town where they lived ; that she bad read the advertisements in the papers of a Dr. Foss. In Cincinnati, and be sought him to come here with her. Ho accordingly came down with her on Thursday of lass week; fr.nnd Dr. Foss’ effloe on tee southwest oorncr ot Vice and Eighth streets. The doctor at first asked $l4O to effect the desired result, but finally Agreed to take $l6O as his own fee, and $25 to pay for her board and attention in a respectable family, paying that it would require three or four days to complete the affair. Mr. Scott then returned home. On Monday night he received a letter with no sig nature. but evidently from Dr. Foss, sayinu the young lady was all right, but that ahe was suffering tr* m a severe psln In the breast, that seemed to be :beumstism of the heart, and he had bettor come down at'booe. This letter he gave to the girl’s lather, aid he came down on Tuesaay^morning. _■ j. W, Hood was next called. He said he was father of the deceased; admitted that his daushter had ccniessea ber fault to her mother; but said they * in uvht her difficulty might have originated from ill health, as it bad cone before, and they agreed to her coming down to see if she coaid obtain rellet. When he arrived here on Tuesday he oould not flaa Dr. Foss at bis office, although he called a dozen limes. He otd not know where to look for Ms daughter. All of Wednesday he spent in the same fruitless efforts, suffer log great anxiety any ; BDuuteh* Meantime he wrote for Mr. Scott to come down and assist him to find bis child. On Thurs day morning be tound the doctor la his office, ana on asking to Bee the young lady that had been left witb him for treatment by Mr. Saott, that worthy shruggev bis shoulders, and said he was sorry to say that the case had terminated fatally- The father waß thooked, as on be Imagined, but not described. He asked what had been done with her remains, and after some prevarication the doc tor went with him to the house on Ninth street, mentioned yesterday. On being received by the mulatto hag, and - suspecting tbe oharacter of tbe house, the witness exclaimed, “ My God! r to have the corpse put in a ouffin, the clothing hts daughter had brought there done up, and all seat to the boat. The rt quest waa complied with, except as to the clothing, which has not been ecru. Such jg me sad story of these mourning relative* In relation to the erring and uniortunato girl. Tuey are men o? about fifty years of age, plainly attired, sno judging from the frank confessions that tend to criminate themselves, honest, and well-meaning. Tbe on»y thing that looks bad in their conduct was their efloit to nave the corpse shipped to Moscow as freight, and saying the burial case was empty. It was natural they should wish to avoid tue exposure that was fure to disgrace their family. The testi mony of R. P. Wentworth, who lives on Eighth street, scross an alley the house where the girl died, was next beard. He simply seated the facts in reawrd to the moaning heard Sunday and Monday nights ? hlfi attempts to get the policemen to go in With him to learn the cause of the distress; their retut-al for fear the chief would afamlss them, and finally the sliding of the coffin and corpse out ot a second-story back window, and the indigna tion of tbe undertaker that he should question the propriety of such a proceeding. During the examination of Mr. Soott, the coroner ordered tbe wrest of Doctor Foss, a thing he should have done the night before. After due invest!, gatlon the offictr reported that the doctor could not be found. His office was ol>seri, he' bad not been Been there since the previous evmlng, nor bad he been at Ufa hoarding house. Whereupon the newspaper reporters were censured lor having published anything about the case, there by giving the scoundrel timely warning to get out of ibeway. The faot is, the Infamouß violator oi law and common morality knew his danger some days past, and when the corpse was dotained and a coroners jury ordered, he put himself out of the way without any aid from the newspapers. Falling to catch the big villain, the officer was despatched lor bis detestable coadjutor, the colored woman. Mrß. Piper, whom he found hldlog In a neighbor’s bach-yard. She denied any knowledge of the mat ter, and said no girl huddled there, but she was evidently intoxicated atd halt crazed with excite* ment. She was arrested and confluedin the station house. In the afternoon the father and uncle again took the corpse to the boat to go home, but the latter was there arrested as a pariiceps enminis , in procuring the violation of tbe law in regard to pro duels g abortion. There are some strange surmises t float in tonard to the complicity of the uncle with the |lrrs failles* St. Paul, May 5 —The hatchet of the Sioux fa st ill nnburied, and thetr wild and bloody work, from which AUnnerota has been suffering for the past three years, is beii-g revived upon our borders with all its former atrocity. • On the 2d oi May instant, a party of six or eight of the red miFcrea&te entered the houßeof Mr. An drew J.

At least it did so until tbe New York Academy seised upon tbe graceless laurel. lu a word, It would be Impossible to compliment artists upon tbe ex- pensively piebald style of aroblteoturo In wblob they hare Indulged In tbelr new building. We might have conferred a delicate compliment upon some of the clerical denominations, 11 they bad Innocently Indulged In such a style of ereetion for tbelr places of worsalp. The clerical members or any sesilonal community are not necessarily expeotod to have any aotuai taste In architectural propriety, and might not (r -rationally be expected occasionally to follow some ol the grotesque leadership or the Middle ages. Bat for a body of eduoated and, It might fairly be pre sumed, Intelligent artists, who self-snffisleotly arro gate to themselves the representation of art In the United states, to Indulge In suoh “ a pursuit of ar chitectural beauty and convenience under difficul ties,” strikes us as so great an absurdity that wo feel little disposed to do anything else than smile at It. We do not doubt that the archlteo* tural design Is a facsimile oopy, on a smaller scale, of some Italian barbarity of the period to which we have already referred. Bat this dees not ronstltute tbe slightest excuse. Were the design a new one In its olasß or mode, we might forgive the ungraosful blunder. The novelty might for a time gloss It over; but It Is not new, and the blunder almost assumes the proportions of an artletlo crime against good taste, ol whloh we wash our hands regretfully, never havlrg been appealed to in the slightest way by the committee who had the pare of tbe erection op tbelr hands, either to suggest, to sanction, or to criticise the ideal of apalaoefor art, whloh they have erected In the shape of a de- lightfully medieval toy-shop. However, we hare said enough of tbo exterior character of the building, and regret that of the interior ire are also unable to be oompllmeutary. It Is much too small. In less than twenty years It will, from Its size, foroe the aulstlc world in New York to Inaugurate a second exhibition. Suoh a thing was threatened coarsely more than a year elnoe, but was obviated by the graceful condescen sion with which the New York Aoadotny summoned some of the principal leaders of the movement to occupy the Beats of assoolates. That danger at present is past; yet we may assure its members that it will reour again and again, until at last the me naced movement takes place, and we have a more eucoeseful second edition of the London Suffolk street Exhibition placed in positive practical oppo sition to It. Moreover, there is another point on whloh we may enter a strong objeotlon to the first opening of the New York National Academy in Its new gallery. It might not lrratlonably hare bean anticipated that all Its members would have labored to make their fortieth annual exhibition remarkable on the seore of its excellence, and thus make amends for ti e exterior fashion in whloh they presented it to the public. We regret to say that this has not been the case. The exhibition la no wise passes the pro portional value of the last half dozen years. A few very tine pictures are on the walls, but those from whom we have the right to expect the most have certainly given email evidence of their feeling for the institution to which they belong, occasionally In the number and very generally In the value of their contributions to Its gallery. Church, for ex ample, exhibits bnt one picture, of no very remarka ble qualities, while Glgnoux, who sends two aan vases, is not equal to his art-standing of some ten years since. Elliott, the greatest of liv ing portrait painters of the male head, sends only one canvas. Eastman Johnson but two, muoh inferior to the painting with which he made bis debut upon tbe walla'of the Academy some five or six years since. From Talt we have also but two. Whether engaged in “ell,” or digging for the preelous metal, he also would seem to be re* tiring from the artistic arena. Frond Huntington’s pencil, it Is true, we have nine works—we thought tbe limit of the number admitted from academi cians or non-aoademlolans was eight—but Lsntzo sends only two, very muoh inferior to the reputa tion he has so long held. On the other hand, our own Lambdln places fire canvases upon the walls of the gallery, and Mr. Addison Blohards six. It must not however be supposed that, in naming these two artists together, we would for a moment eempare them. We have simply mentioued Mr. Addison Richards as a very prominent and remark ably Indifferent New York academician who sends a larger number of works than the equally promi nent and it finitely supeilorartlsts belonging to the charmed circle. There are certainly—wa speak with a deferential feeling towards she beauty and wealth who may wish tbelr physiognomical details to be Umnod for the benefit of the world «t large—too largo a pro portion of mere portraits In tbe exhibition. Ar mlda and Ui teßns—nay I even Socrates, have a charming love nowadays for personal popularity, and are by no means willing in the mass to oourt it homseopathically; so we are obliged to submit. we may allude to No. 203, by A B. Durand. It is marSitfmttn, power and remarkably pure anaTresuTOTO make him the best painter of the male head living. We may also mention two cabinet portraits by the present president, Mr. D. Huntington, Nos. 600 and bid, as good, although by far his best picture is No. 312, “The Olomatfi Wreath,” which is a most ohaiming picture, and strongly reminds us-In its general character, of the English artist, Frith. Mr. Stearns exhibits three portraits, one or which we must specially mark: It is a girl of some eight or ten yearß of age standing on the steps of a ladder under a peach tree In lull bearing. Save that the dress is painted with too little fluency of brush, and the right arm Is somewhat vague In its drawing, this portrait, oalled “ Ida,” No. 189, Is very clever, the background being especially flue. The portrait painter, J. H, Oaflerty, would seem to have forsaken this line of art altogether. He ex hibits only three {mall canvases or fruit and ash— Nos. 47,142, and 248 1 the flist “ strawberries "and the two last “ Trout,” each of them very good. Louis Lang, no very particular favorite of ours, exhibits one of the very best pictures he has ever painted. This is No. 223, which he names " Musloal Inspiration.” However, one of the men who do not belong to the Academy, and whose work they have conse quently cared little for honoring, exhibits one of the most telling dramatic pictures of whloh wo have recently seen. Its drama Is composed of two figures of the size of llle. The one has been glaln upon the battlefield. The other—a near rela tive—probably a brother, finds the dying body and Itans over him, lost In the family affliction, which has sought for and found him, perchance In the mo. ment when his pulse was beating fast, and his mind excited by the tieroe blow and deadly strife through whloh he has reoently passed. The painter is Mr. Constant Mayer, the number of the painting is 1, and as Mr. Mayer is notan Academician, the Kang. Ing Committee, with the most gracious wish to pre vent his obtrndlng his demerits too forcibly upon their visitors, have hung this oanvas at the head of thes talr care, so high that, save to an inveterate student of art, who does not mind physical iuoonyenleaoe, and has no Oread of dislocating his cervical vertebra, it must probably pass without notice. This would In itseir, be a very consoling proof to the artist that ambitious excellence always meets with its reward. The quiet gray tone of the picture, that of evening or early morning, is singularly flue. Wo can also compliment Mr. Mayer most heartily upon his drawing, which, as far as we could make It out, appear s admirable—three of the hands being studies. In expression It Is pure and. at the same time vigor ous, while we may oall attention to the expressive llfelessness of the body of the dying man as greatly increasing the power exhibited by the artist in the head of the living soldier. Mr. Mayer has named this grandly painted and but fairly conoelvcd sub ject, ” North and South, an .Episode of the War-” The well-known artist, F. o. C. Harley, exhibits several spiritedly-drawn scenes from the war, of whloh we have only space to partlonlarize No. 29 “Dahlgren’s Cavalry Charge at Frederloksbuig.” Kensett exhibits one orhls fine and fluently paint ed landscapes, (we presume we may name it so) ” Cltiwator.” This is No. 91, and is both graceful ly vigorous In Its handling and fine In its color. He has three other paintings on the walls, aU partaking mere or less of his Invariable excellency. From Eastman Johnson we have two pictures which we have elsewhere aUuded to, of whloh No. 379 IS the best. He caUs It “ Christmas Time.” From Marcus Waterman, one of the new asso ciates we believe, we have a very Clever “ Land scape with Cattle,” No. 850. This gentloman Is a steadily progressive painter. The landscape por tion of his picture Is one or, 11 not the very best bits of woodland landscape soenery we have recently seen. Ellhu Vedder, another new assoolate, exhlblta in all eight plotnres or varying degrees of merit, one or two bad, one or two Indifferent, three of them good, and two fine, of whioh we will notice the finest, No. 601. He oalls this “ A Lost Mind.” If Mr. Vedder had never painted anything else than this oanvas, It wonid have stamped him as an artlst;Who not only possessea a grand poetle feeling, but as a man who has an almost perfect command ef the pencil and a thorough mastery of the resonroes of the palette. The foreground Is marvellous in Its texture, as Indeed Is the whole of the plotnro. The linee of the drapery we may espoolaliy mention as so marvellously truthful, yet so free in their handling, that we can saareely regard It as other than the result of Inspiration, although con fident that this Inspiration of hand Is rather the result ol hard and. conscientious study on ths part of the artist. We will not discuss the poetry of the Idea expressed In the picture. It will be atonoe obvious to the most common-plaoe lntolleot Less exaggeration of style and composition mark It than was Mr* Yedder’s wont some two or three years since, whenbe deliberately selected the extravagant or the extraordinary as She subjects on which to exerolse his pencil. From the chisel of Larent Thomrson we have m the Sculpture Hoorn, “A Study for tho Colossal Rant of William Uulleu Bryant, whloh la to be Sail «n the Central Park of New York.” This Is No 1682 and Is a remarkably grand study of the In u«Sa“ nd somewhat careworn head of one of Poets. Mr. Thompson’s “ Daisy,” No. 653, Ig giro wry ooneoived And wrought ""HarrietHosmer exhibits a clever, but byto means wonderfully talented, “statue In marble of Puok,” numbered 635.

We can, however, by no means highly congratu late Mr. Thomas Hicks, the ao.demlclan, upon any of this portraits. If we except to any It would de cidedly be to Nos. ITI and 643 as the two worst. Ope of the very best pictures In tbe exhibition Is No. 336, “The Chess Players,” by Mr, or Herr Kraus—whloh IB ItT Tbe expression of the lady’s faoe and her form are deliciously felt.ont. Almost equally so Is the ysse and figure of the child. ,Tbo head of the male figure almost rivals that of the lady. Carefully excellent as all tbe drawing It, an even higher compliment has to be awarded the artist for tbe splendid detail, study, and manipula tion exhibited in ihe accessories. Nor ought we to omit a warm word of commendation for the tone, handling, and detail of the background. In short, this canvas Is an admirable exemplification of the utility of l&btftf wfl Careful atujjr, wUoq onoVisvi with a llgh order or talent for seeing and apple, elating faot. Mr. Gray, the vice President, deserves a warm compliment upon his “Portia and Bassanlo’’—No. S!9. Tbe lady is apparently going to “troad a measure,” and appears to be requesting Bassanio “to step out.” We presume that It Is a minuet which they Intend performing. Wo are, however, unable to compliment him very highly upon his re maining three pictures. We have yet been unable to mention any of tha landscape painters, bnt snail endeavor to do so In the couree of the coming week, when we oonelnde our notlcn of the Now York fortieth annual Exhi bition of the Academy nr ne-tgn. Portrait ov Liaut. Uhxkral Goant.—On# or the finest photographs whloh has over been pub lished In this couhtry, was placed upon our table a few days since. It proceeded from the atelier of Wenderoth, Taylor, & Brown, and was of full Impe rial size. The attltnde of tbe man who led our troops to victory through the last oampalgu, which has ultimately resulted In the siege and sur render of Petersburg and Richmond, Is grand ly and expressively correct, giving more rf tbe steady, self-contained, and massive spirit of the great soldier than any of those por traits which has been published of MB), Whether photographs or engravings, The Sun is, it mast frai klj bo owned, at times a splendid painter, and In the present lnstanoe has displayed bis fullest power. The head Is tbe man himself, as far as light and shade can translate him without color, while the hands are wonderful specimens of truth and ex actitude In the vigor and precision of tbelr drawing. Sffph a photograph ought to find an Immense sale, not alone upon its extraordinary verisimilitude, but upon its undoubted artlstio excellence. Fekehptoby Salr d» valuablb Fikaioir Awn America* Oil Paihtihos.—Mr. B. Scott an nounces for sale some two hundred and twenty-five oil paintings, many or whloh will doubtless, from tbe names attached to them, and their actual merit, fetch high prices. As they are to be Bold positively,' wlihout reserve, the auction will afford an excellent chance to the collector who may attend upon this evening and the two Immediately following It. Tha pair tinge are upon open exhibition, and may be seen to-day, previons to the sale, which will ocmiaenca at half past 7 o’clock, at the rooms of B. Scott, No. 1020 Ohestnut street. The Stetnrnlng goidiers—How to Treat We find in all oarexchangeosnggestlons and plant for properly receiving onr soldiers, returning vloto rlcus from the war. It bae been proposed to ereot at some point In Washington street, In our own city, a trlnmpbal area, under which the thousands who belong to the Eastern States aan p&SS, It hM also been proposed that our Councils should mako some appropriation to purchase refreshments— the best the market affords—for all the troops, and for a grand reception of thole' from this olty end its immediate vicinity. These propositions a>e very well In their way, and ought to recelro early consideration. In all the other prominent cities similar movements are going on. ftbme of tha mere enihuslastle propose extremely marked wel comes—most of them, however, gastronomic. Ona of them is oostalned In a note to the editor of a New York evening journal, and maybe takenwra fair specimen of all: “ I propose to spread a table the entire length it Broaov-ay, from tbe Battery to Union Park, or plena them at Intervals, loaded with all tbe good' things tbe maiket affords, that they may eat and drink ta tbelr satisfaction ” Suoh a banquet would be a remarkable one; and one of tbe thousand strange episodes of the great rebellion.

I'KHSMNAI,, We have already printed Governor Brownlow’F proclamation offering a reward for Isham G. Har ris, the fugacious Governor of Tennessee.

Trn.su; I am directed by Major General Dix to return the flag token from your house, on Staten Island, by a party of young men, several • weeks ago, ana to say that he is satisfied, from the testimony before him, that It was made eight years - ago for a child's flag, and was used as suoh long be fore the rebellion.
