Scenes and Incidents.
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 troops of
this corps are from Illinois, Ohio, New York, Wis
consin, Indiana, lowa, Minnesota,and Michigan.
lho text m review was the Army of Georgia,
Major Gen. Slocum commanding. Gen. Slocum
ride at the head of this column.
The 20th Corps was commanded 07 Major Gen*
Mowers and composed of volunteers from Connecti
cut, Pennsylvania) New Tork, Wisconsin. Massa*
cfcuFettg)<Mo, Illinois) Indiana, and Michigan.
This was succeeded by the 14th Army Corps,
Brevet Major Gen. J. O. Davis commanding. It
was composed of volunteers from Wisconsin, Ohio,
Xedtena, Illinois, Michigan, New York, Minnesota,
and Kentucky.
The respective commanders of the armies, aivi*
sloes, and brigades bore upon their persons profa"
sloes of flowers which tod been bestowed la ao
tDcwjedgment of their heroic deeds, and as they
passed along the line cheers were given and hand
kerchiefs and flegs were waved by those who chose
this mode of testifying their gratitude for the gal
lant services of both officers and men.
None seemed to weary of continuous gazing at the
troops, as there was always presented something of
Increased interest. The armies represented all
branches and divisions of the service, oavatry, artil
lery, and infantry, With Sufficient variety in trim
mings and appointments to relieve the general
sameness of uniforms, and several regiments of
Zouaves contributed to produce this effect. There
was an estessive flashing of drawn swords,
bayonets and polUhed brass cannon In the clear
sunlight; sections of pontoon bridges and ambu
lances, and Btretehers, and even heavy wagons, were
features of the procession. There was also a fair
representation of the spade and axe depart
ment, the implements being carried on the
shoolders of both white and black soldiers.
Mach amusement was occasioned by a dis
play of pack-horses and mules. They were all
heavily loaded With commissary supplies, including
chickens. A coon, a -dog, and a goat were comforts
biy fastened to three of tho saddles. These were
the pets of the soldiers. The appearance of two
black soldiers of the largest size riding on very
small mules, their feet nearly touching the ground,
was regarded as a comic soene in connection with
this part of the display, and occasioned general
laughter.
An interesting feature in the grand military pa*
rade was the exhibition of flags and banners of va
rious patterns, some of them entirely new. Others
Were carried, torn by bullets or redacted to shreds,
while some, though entire as to material, were faded
by exposure to the weather, or blackened by the
smoke of bAttle. Several staffs were carried, from
which the flags had betn shot away. All the spear
heads were ornamented with flowers, either in bou
quets or wreaths.
It was remarked, as, In contrast to tho grand re
view of the Army of tho Potomac, that the troops
Composing the armies of Georgia and the Tennes
see wore the wlde-brim felt hate, regulation pattern*
Their appearance, in all respects, was equal to that
of the Army of the Potomac, notwithstanding they
had performed more marching Service. Their gene
ral movements were much admired and accordingly
applauded. The commander of each army, and
iorpsj and division, attended by one staff officer,
demounted after passing the general In chief and
joined him until his army corps ox division had
passed the reviewing stand, when he remounted
and joined his command.
The effioers commanding regiments presented
Swords on passing the reviewing officer, bat com-
P«iy officers were not required to make such sa
lutes.
Brigade bar.d3 or ccrso’Jdatert field music turned
out and played as the brigade passed, and a band
to each division performed during the march from
the; Capitol to the Treasury building. After the
troops passed the reviewing officers they were
marched to their respective quarters.
Secretary Seward, notwithstanding his severe
Physical affliction, took a deep interest In the re-
Vltvr, Gen. Augur made him comfortable, and fur
nished him with a good position at Headquarters
cf tho Defences of Washington, so that he might
wiintss the grata military display.
The Armfeß of Tennessee and Georgia occupied
six ho uis in passing, the same length of time that
was required yesterday for the review of the Army
Ci the Potomac,
INCIDENTS OJ TBB DAY,
The following are a lew of the incidents of the
day. Previous to the maroh a number of young
laoies mar’e t heir way through the crowds of Specta
tors and soldiers on Ca pitol Hill, and festooned upon
some 0: the officers bouquets, wreaths, and garlands.
It has already been stated that General Sherman
led the advene© te-dey, accompanied by Gen. How
ard with boiquets in their hands, and their horses
dtooraied wivi; flowers. On reaching the Western
part of the city, a vetoran reserve soldier approach
ed General Sherman with another bouquet, but tho
horse of tho latter became restive, and he motioned
tie Boldier back. “Give it to Howard!” shouted
tie multitude, but he, too, having but qq© hand
could attend only to his prancing horse, eo the veto
fan returned to the seat with his offering, amid
ohctra on ail sides.
Riding to the western entrance of tho White

CONDITION OP AFFAIRS IV THB SHBNANDOAH
Valley.—We have received several letters from
intelligent parries, since our last issue, giving us
somewhat detailed accounts of the privations and
BUtterlngs eodured by the inhabitants of tho Sue
nandoah Valley, In the region of country stretching
from Strasburg through the counties of Shenandoah
and Rockingham and Augusta, These parties
reside in the country that has been stripped
and desolated, and they have the means of
knowing—nay, more, they have felt and realized
the terrible misfortunes that have befallen the Val
ley from tbe clash of arms and the march of hostile
armies. Wehavealso conversed with an iateUi<
gent friend, who formerlyresided at Edinburg, in
Shenandoah county, and who has been compelled •
to bring his family Into a more favored locality, to
keep them from starving, and he gives a deplorable
picture of the sufferings and privations of these
unfortunate people. Bat a small amount of grain
is in pbEßeß&ion of the iohaottants, and what
little they have It Is hardly possible to get
ground for want of millß, all having been burned ex
cept five or six, in the extent of country of which
we speak. In many instances corn has been pound
ed, baked, and consumed in a rough .state, and our
informant states that he Is familiar with instances
Where the people have,mixed middlings with bran
aiid baked it into bread la order to Stretch the food;
C&ttle, hogs, and sheep have oeen B*ept away, and
but few horseß remain with which to cultivate the
ground and raise a crop the present season. It is
hard to realize and believe that such a state of
thlDgs exists, but it nevertheless is fearfully true.
Such in brief is the state of tulngs as they now
exist in the once happy Valley of the Shenandoah.
Is It not sufficient to call forth the efforts of the
hoivane and benevolent to forward assistance ?
Richmond Republic.2&d,
* This Vikouoa hailboads—The Jambs River
Canal.—Regular trains are again running on the
Virginia and Tennessee Railroad as far as Salem—
sixty miles. The Federal authorities are running
Irregular trains on the road from Bristol to New
rtver Bridge, eo that there Is only a gap of
about thirty.six miles of the road remaining to
be repaired. This much u badly damaged, and It
will require some time to make the line Complete.
The work is being pushed forward with vigor. Re
pairs on the Orange road are progressing, but not
with sufficient force to ensure tneir completion for
some months to come The cars have not yet crossed
Tye river. Work on the caoal Is aim progressing
slowly, acd it will be some time before the line Is
optn to Richmond. Until tUace communications
are opened business cannot be resumed In this city,
and the present stagnation and Idleness must con
tinue.—Lynchburg Republican , 19‘h.
IMPORTANT OBDKB. RbXATIVB TO NBQBOBS.—
A very Important and interesting order relative to
negroes has been issued by Gen. Gregir, aomui&nd
irg the military sub-district of Lynchburg. Tue
plan adopted by the General for the working of the
treed system of labor, is, under the peculiar dream-
Bt&ices by which we are at present surroanded, an
eminently wise one, and we feel sure oanaoc fall to
prov? alike beneficial to both the negro and the
white race. The General, la his order, also takes es
pecial care to dissipate the absurd idea which tod be.
wme partially prevalent Id tue minds of the negro
race, that they were entitled to a portion at lease of
tie property of their former masters. He informs
then.', c.htlnctly cf their error in this particular, and
hoUfirs them further that they will have to work for
a livelihood, and that, too, harder, probably, than
they have heretofoie done. To secure employment
lor all idle negroes, an office will be established,
whore contracts can be made between them and the
employers, and those who refuse to'work
will be compelled to suffer all the consequoaoea
which befall the vagrant mode of life.—JOid,

Sunday afternoon, about 4 o’clock. The whole of
the diy known as tber Valley, parts of Marshall,
Bread, Franklin, Main, Gary, and Canal streets,
from Fifteenth nearly'to Eighteenth, streets, were
deluged. The water attained Its greatest height
about half-past 2 o’clock, and commenced receding
soon afterwards. At half-past 3 o’clock the fall was
very perceptible/ The greatest destruction is ap.
parent In the Valley, nearly every house mu
having been more or less injured by the freshet.
Immediately on the creek the rise of water was
fifteen feet, and reached the second stories of the
dwellings.
Death op aw Editor.—Charles Irving, well
known in this city acd throughout the istato as an
editor of ability, died at the Fair Grounds Hospital,
In this city, on Sunday morning, from the snoots of
a wound jeceived in the shoulder in one of *ne last
finals around Petersburg. He was a private lathe
IBtb Virginia Infantry. He roceived during his
last hours, every attention from the surgeons of the
hospital and buries of Petersburg.
Tab Stock of Toeaoco.—Tne quantity ot wat
to»acc& in the State Is a matter of guess, butic can
to nearly approximated. Our commission mer
chants estimate it at thirty thousand hogsheads.
Oi this, about ton thousand hogsheads are in Lynch
burg: tbe balasee is at FaruiviUe, lUuville, and la

There we a few hundred hogsheads in Richmond.

the planters Is English shlpplog- The quantity of
tobacco on band j n Virginia would have been far
greater but that the production has been discou
raged and rett’Hlned by State legislation during the
war. On the 2d of April about ten thousand hogs
beads were burnt in this dry by order of the Con
federate authorities, as compared with the stock
of leaf tobacco, the stock of manufactured is largs,
but It is so scattered In lndirid da! hands as to make
it impossible to form anything like a correct esti*
mate of its quantity.
HAVANA.
THE RAM STONEWALL BLOCKADED
IN THE HARBOR.
Mote Eepoits of Battles, &c., in Mexico.
New York, May 24.—The steamer Moro Castle
brings Havana dates to the 20th.
Among the various rumors concerning the ram
Stonewall is one which proved unfounded, that the
Spanish Government had bought her for $6OO 000.
Another report Is, that Captain Boggs, of the Con
necticut, had demanded her surrender of Captain
Page, who preferred to put her In possession o( the
Captain General, on oondttlon that she should not
he given to tbe United States. That official, how
ever, refused to receive her on such conditions, but
would receive her as a deposit. Tbls was agreed
to, and she was towed to the arsenal and her fltg
lowered. The officers and men were paid off and
pnt ashore. The Powhatan, Arles, Connecticut,
and several other gunboats were lying off the port
ready to attack the ram U she attempted to pat to
sea.
These papers confirmed the news from Mexico of
the capture of Camargo, China, by Negrete, and
that be was msrcliiog on Matamoros, receiving re
cruits on the way. Canales had joined him with
three hundred men, and Vldaurrl was at Laredo
with Benevldes. The Liberals had driven the Im
perialists out of Fedras Negros, taking a number
of prisoners. Lopez had succeeded in reaching
Monterey, Oortinas having missed him. It Is said
a battle took place between Negrete and Mejia on
May Ist. The result was unknown.

Good Advice pbom thb latjs Rebel Jour
kals.—TJco Augaata Chronicle, of the 6fch, cons!*
dere tbe war over, and thus asks tbe people of Geor
gia to support tbe Government: *•
** We arepow living under the Constitution of tbe
United Stales. That is tbe Government of the
©txmtiy. Tela is a face we mast all admit, whether
acteeaole or sot to oar feelings, This is a fact
wnicb o&nnot be controverted. There is only one
cMirse then left for every sensible man to pursue.
Tbe course Is a plain one. It-is simply to support
tbe Government under which we live. If any man
has come or does come to the conclusion that be
cannot live under the Government of tbe United
States, tbe remedy for bis Imagined grievances can
be easily applied. He can leave tbe country for a
more congenial olfme.”
Tbe Atlanta Intelligencer of tbe 25th ult M BayB:
Tbe pftfct cannot be reoalled \ to- the future, then,
they and we must look, and whatsoever of encour
agement we can give to Induce onr people to pre
pare lor tbe future, and well to act their parts la it,
we owe, alike to them as to ourself without a stint
to bestow. To counsel further resistance Is both
unwise and unpatriotic—unpatriotic, because that
which Is not directed to the public welfare, Is not
patriotism; and unwise, beoause it Is folly to resist.
Hence it becomes our duty to conform te what now
exists, and to our future American citizenship.
Tbe Macon Telegraph, which need to be a radical
war paper, grows peaceful and patriotic:
some may think it more compatible with personal
dignity and the spirit of freemen, to maintain a po
sition of imbecile and Ineffective defianoe—a sullen
and vindictive demeanor toward the victor—a reso
lute determination to hold no intercourse with
them, either social, oommerolai, or political—to re
fuse all co-operation, even In the essential matters
of preserving public order, and adjusting affairs
upon their new basis, so as, if possible, to restore
public security and tranquility. These Ideas and
pnipoteß seem to float in many brains, but, in our
judgment, they are the offspring of an excusable
wounded pride, disappointment, and temporary
passion) and not of common sense or sound discre
tion.
Agriculture Is drooping, and the journals are dis
cussing the future, when there will be he slave
labor. The Augusta Chronicle thus advises the
planters;
We have been frequently asked what course
the planters had best pursue in regard to their
present crops. Our reply is this: Make some
satisfactory arrangement with the negroes for
their services In cultivating and gathering
tbe crops. There will be need for ail the corn;
bacon, and cotton that can be produced, and
it Ib a suicidal policy to suffer your growing crops
to be utterly lost rather than to accommodate your
self to the circumstances of the times. There Is no
reason Why your lands cannot be profitably culti
vated on the existing plan if there fa proper energy
an d foresight on your part. As to tho old system, it
Is irrevocably gone, and the sooner the truth is ac
cepted the sooner will Industry recover from the
present paralysis. The blacks will'not be permitted
to remain Idle. If work ,is not provided for them
the Government itself will undertake to furnish
them employment.
Capture of Gold and Sieves.—Lieutenant
Colonel York, provost marshal on General Grover’s
staff, has had turned over to him, and will take to
Savannah to day, $243,000 of gold and silver, seized
as property of ihe Confederate Government;
slBB,too was taken from a Confederate baggage*
wagon, found in a by-road, and the balance was
takes from various parties who had it in trust, but
acknowledged that it belonged to the Confederate
Government. Colonel York wui &tso take some
zdUUosb of dollars m Confederate bonds and cur
rency, enough to start a small paper.mlll,—dk
gusta Correspondence Savannah Herald .
Condition of the State.—The country between
Augusta and Savannah Is filled with rebel
paroled prisoners returning to their homes. Nearly
all the planters have put In large amounts of seed,
mostly corn acd rye. Some have planted cotton for
tbe first time In lour years. But few of their slaves
have skedaddled. Great grief and excitement was
caused in Augusta by the announcement of the cap
ture of Jeff Davis.
General GlUmore has Issued orders declaring
null and void all the proclamations Issued by the
self-styled Governors of South Carolina, Georgia,
and Florida, and also declaring that the blaoks are
free citizens of the United States, and are to be
protected In the enjoyment of freedom and of the
iiuits of their Industry by the Government.
Gen. Wilson, In a letter to Gov. Brown, who had
complained of the collapse of the currency and the
great destitution of provisions among ehe people,
s&ye ne is “instructed by the President to say
to him that there evils were caused by treason,
insarreotioe, and rebellion against the laws of the
United States, enaoted and carried on for the last
Tour years by you anff your confederate rebels and
traitors, who alone are responsible for all the
waste, destitution, and want now existing In that
State; and what yon oall the results which the
fortunes of war have imposed upon the people of
Georgia, and all the loss and woe they have suf
fered, are charged upon you and your confederate
rebels, who, ueurolnu authority, provoked war to
the last extremity, until compelled to lay down
your arms, and accept tbe just penalty of the
crimes of treason fthd rebellion. That the restora
tion of peace and ordero&nnot be entrusted to rebels
end traitors; that the persons who incited the war
and carried it on will not be allowed to assemble at
the call of their accomplice to act again as a Legis
lature of the State, and again usurp the. g-nthurity
and franchises. Those who have caused eo much
woe will not be allowed agalu to set on foot fresh
sets of treason and rebellion. In calling the Legis
lature together again, without the permission of the
President, you have perpetrated a fresh crime ; and
if any person presumes to answer or acknowledge
your call, he will be immediately arrested.”
Fire In (toe Coal Regions.
Ashland, Sohuylklil county, Pa., May 24.—A
large fire broke out in Mock’s livery stable at 10
o’clock last night. Six horses were burned, and a
dwelling house adjoining was also consumed. Had
it not been for the exertions or some of the citizens
half of the town would have been laid in ashes.

In the House of Commons, on the 11th Inst., the
question as to whether the Government had re
mired to withdraw belligerent rights from tne
South, of which notice had been given by Mr. White,
was not put.
The Morning Star asfumeg that Mr. White h&v
lug been requested to postpone hi* question, It la
now under the ooußlderatioo of tne Cabinet, and
oil ernes; “ Though the withdrawal of belligerent
rights was no mere sentimental action, it would
have the effect of SfiUttlQit the A.u-'t'-a.Uan ports to
the Shenandoah, and those of tue West ladles to
the Stonewall, the only two privateers now afloat.
It would tend to expedite the period when the Go
vernment of the Untou will raise tbo blockade and
permit free intercourse with the Southern States.”
The Morning Post, tn an editorial on the samo
subject, says; >v Mr. White postponed his question
In the absence of Lord Paimemor., but it is uu>
questionably one to which an answer must »e
speedily given. 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

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. Bruce complains of the difflaalty
of maintaining friendly relations with tne Wash
ington Government, and that Mr. Adams has pie*
Sented CJaIIDR for losses by-tao A-iabams..
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 question wm
come on for adjustment Borne dav in the ordinary
manner, and we do not know that It might not oe
considered cow as well as at-any other time.
“ Aa a matter of fact, however, President Johuscn
has done nothing. The question at this moment
stands just where Mr. Lincoln left it. The depre
dations of the Shenandoah have also been made the
subject of representations to the Goveramaufix.,
These representations wro-maJo t>y oru'CT or tur.

ture. they brought out more plainly than before tue
amicable disposition of both Governments. It is
hoped Mr. Seward will soon be restored to the du

Yesterday the aiagbiaotiut review at Washington
hrgiiß. The vast army of two hundred tnousaud
Amtjjoan soldiers oemmenood to pass before the
President and the Lieutenant General. Washing
ton waß, of course, crowded with strangers from all
pans of .the Union, and their cheers expressed to
the brave veterans the gratitude whiob the country
reels towards them for its preservation. Tnere have
been many grand mliitarv displays in the past; but
never before has there been one so grand as this.
Neither Napoleon nor Wellington oversaw so many
veterans in one army at one time. When Napolooc
reviewed his army of two hundred thousand men, at
the opening of his first Russian oampalgn, many of
his soldiers weie young conscripts, fresh from the
farm and the counter. Toe great Rns-dan army,
reviewed by the Dube of rveiiinigton after thee i
pitttiaUon «..f PhUs. m 1814, numbered only oae hun
dred end sixty thousand. But our army, which i-»,
In feot, but a part of our force, since the oomnamU
of Thomas, Sehotild, (Jurtls, tjrd, Caoby, Poster,
aud others, are not represoatod, ts composed an
tirely of veterans, and is quite two hundred thou
sand strong.
It is not mere numbers, however, which make the
display at Washington so grand. This review 1$ a
review oi trlumpb. The troops which tile before the
thousands, of spectators at Washington are not
gr ing into a war, and are nob preparing for battle
They have come out of the war tr*uu>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

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. Letter to' the people Cf
Kentucky,” tiutag more than four columns, in
which the question is very thoroughly dißouaaed In
all Its aspects Of special ioteresn is a very elabo
rate comparison between Ohio and Kentucky, wuloh
shows by official statistics that Ohio has ourscrlpped
Kentucky in all the elements of greatness, to wit:
population, cemmerce, and agricultural wealth, to
say rotting oi her numerous towns, in-respeoc to
which Kentucky can make no comparison what
ever. The.loilowlug extract from tuts portion of
the article tibows the comparative Increase of popa-
U'OMO , Qn ■ „ 1
later than our own State,
tage&of toil and climate possessed by Kentucky
ought to have given her superiority la the race
“Ohio has an area of 39,961 square miles }• Ken
tucky bag 37.680 square miles, the difference be
tween the two States being a little over two thou
sand square miles, or, more plainly, 1,461,760 acres.
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. Now,
let us trace the figures of Ouch suooeecUDg'oensus:
OHIO. I SB N TOC S 7.

1850.
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!
<irotor, why did you fetch her here? you promised
Pbe should be taken care of in a respectable fami
ly.’ 4 The doctor muttered something about the
women being kind and respectable, too. But the
old WOmßn was contused, and hesitated to show the
way to Hie corpse. The doctor reassured her by
saying all was right, when she said, “To tell the
truth, I took ber down oellar, for fear the police
. might make trouble.” She then procured a tallow
candle, which the doctor took, and led the wav
down cellar, through a trap-door in the room. The
father followed, and In the dim light they stumbled
over something at the foot of the steps. Stooping
with the candle, the doctor lifted up a corner of an
pld £nut| whloh exposed a blaoktud UfQbi ftftd s•*
free the fetid odor of the decaying body. The scene
was too ghastly and repulsive, and the father, with
sn ejaculation of anguish, withdrew, told tne doot >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

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. Jewett-, a lawyer, living seven miles south
east of Mankato. They found Mr. Jewett with his
. wife, father, mother, a little daughter,, and hired
boy at breakfast. They killed Mr- Jewett with an
axe, and shot aDd killed Jewett’s wife and mother
ar<d the hired boy and severely wounded the father
and daughter, whom they probably loft for dead.
They then robbed Jewett’s pockets, rifled his chpst,
and, after horribly uasgUng the bodies, escaped
with bis team.
Another party of these Indians, a short distance
from Jewett’s, stole a horse from a Mr. Cooper,
They wete pursued by the settlers, but their track
was lost In consequence of the rain and scow storm
then prevailing. The wholeoountry Is alarmed,the
settlers fleeing Into the towns, and the wildest ex
citement prevailing.
In the afternoon of the same day of Jewett’s
death, a halt-breed was captured in the vicinity of
Mankato and brought. Into the town. His appear
ance excited suspicion. He first gave his name as
Ptlby, and said he had served under Captain Olln
in tfct 2d Minnesota regiment- Captain OUn belong
ed to the 3d Minnesota, and, when informed of this,
tbe prisoner said he meant the 3d. He farther
stated that he had been discharged from that regi
ment, and afterward joined Brackett's battalion,
from which he also oiaimed to be discharged. After
wards, on being ososely cross-examined, he satd his
name waa Campbell, and that he bad deserted
from Brackett’S battalion and wished his captain
to benoitfled. His Tight name was John L Camp
bell. Much criminating evidence soon accumulated
against him, and he was tried, convicted, and huag
on the 3d instant by a large body of t&e citizens
of the eounty. A jury was empaneled, and a
judge, judge advocate, and marshals selected from
the crowd. The evidence against him was as fol
lows:
He was captured a few miles from where the mur
d*Tß were committed, and the trail of the Indians
was tracked in the direction of where he was found;
the coat, pants, stockings, and shoes were all Iden
tified as oefanglcg to the murdered nun. After
beering the evidence the jury retired for half an
tour,"at the expiration of which they rendered a
veidiot of gutity, strongly reoommendlng the pri
st nor to be retained until the meeting of the court
about the middle of this month. To this the orowd
would not listen for a moment, but cried out, “haag
him, hang him f 72 ' The wildest uproar and confaslon
piev&ilea, and offer a fierce straggle tn which the
sheriff and others triec to get him baoft to jail, the
ciowd succeeded in getting him off to &tree, to the
limb of which a rope had already been attach'd.
Here the struggle still continued, but the crowd
weie too strong for the officers. They raised up
Campbell, placed the noose around his neok, drew
it tight, and then swung him off. They had neg
lected to tie his hands, and with them he wildly
clutched the rope, and held himself up from stran
gulation. He down, his hands tied, and
again swung up, and left hanging until he expired.
'While his ha? ds were being pinioned he made a
oomeFPJon to a cathoiie priest, who was present, to
the cifeot, it Is currently reported, that he had par
ticipated Ih the muroers. He also state! la this
cMtfaefilon that he had hid a roll of money under the
jail fitor vgierefco was confined, and, on Investiga
tion, this was found.
As Mr. Jewett had some five hundred dollars with
him; this money unquestionably belonged to him.
One brother of this Oampbell acted as private sec
retary to Little Grow In the massacre of ’62, and
wrote all the letters that passed between that ohief
ana General Sibley. He also carried Crow In a
buggy when he headed tne war party to the cattle
ot Acton and the burning of Hutchinson. Another
Jag|gj»B since the
He was convicted by the military comflTNffftrtrWr
mttrder. The party engaged in the murder consist
ed of Campbell, Henry Mllard, Hippolyte Auge,
and two Indians.
Thus It will be seen that John came of a bad
family, and that besides the motive of plunder and
natural attachment to and sympathy with Indians,
and with their hostility toward the whites, he had
special motives for revenge growing out of the exe
cution of Ibis brother.
Tho people generally approve the action of the
Lynch court.
Before tbe East passes judgment upon them let
them recollect that on this frontier, within the past
three years, over eight hundred women and children
have been butchered, and their houses and their
crops, and the hard earnings of many years, given
to destruction; that not over one hundred ana fifty
Indi&nß have fallen; that out of tbe three hundred
and three sentenced to death for these murders, by
the military commission, in 1862, the President only
allowed thirty-eight to be hung—and that all the
Indians who were tried and convicted since were iet
off by the President on account of some technical
informality in the prooeedlngs; and let them far
ther recollect that a hundred of these demons are
now In the vicinity of Mankato, and nine hundred
more upon the war-path to the settlements.
No one but he who has been upon the frontier can
imagine the horrible outrages perpetrated by these
Indian fiends.—Cor, of a New York Journal .

Yellow Fever Plot.
DB« BLAOBBUBN AT A CANADIAN POUCH GOUBT—
BB 18 ADHITTiSD TO BAIL.
The police court was crowded on Saturday fore
noon with persons anxious to be present at the ex
amination of Dr, Blaokburn, on a charge of having
violated the neutrality laws of this province by oon-
SpfriDg to introduce the yellow fever into the cities
of the United States, through the medium of in
fected clothfsg shipped from Bermuda. He arrived
in this city in custody of Deteotive MoGeary, who
arrested him in Montreal, on a warrant issued In
this city on the inlormation of Godfrey J. Hyams,
who Is at present on & prosecuting tour in the
Unlted'States.
Mr. Patterson, for the Crown, then explained that
he had understood that the prisoner and his coun
sel bad decided to allow the\case to go to trial
without a preliminary examination, but he had
subsequently learned that suoh was not now their
intention. He hod, therefore, to ask for a remand
In order that he might have time to get witnesses
from the States, and also from Lower Canada. He
would, consequently, ask that the prisoner be re
manded for a week.
Mr. Cameron contended that there waß no law to
ehow that a person Who Conspired to ooramltacrlcne
in a foreign country, and had not done so, was lia
ble to be punished for a breach of the neutrality
laws. There was nothing, therefore, lo the informa
tion to warrant tbe detention of the prisoner.
Mr. Patterson was under the Impression that to
conspire in suoh cases made a party as amenable to
the law as if the overt act had been committed in
tbe foreign country. , . '
Mr. Cameron would like to see some authority on
that point.
MrT Patterson had not looked for authorities; but
he believed Judge Campbell was a good authority
on the subject.
Tbe Magistrate. Judge Campbell is a good au
thority, but I must have some time to look at the
law on *he subjeot
Mr. Cameron said that Dr. Biaokbnra did not
wish to eblrk atrial. He would meet the charge,
but if the Crown was not prepared to go on with
the case, the court would have to admit the prison
er to b&tl. The prisoner, who was a strangerlu this
country, must not be harrasred. If the Crown was
cot prepared to admit the prisoner to ball, he would
be oucpclled to Insist upon going on with tbe hear
ing of the case. He thought tbe party, npon whose
information the prisoner had been arrested, should
ccme forward and give sufficient reasons for having
laid tbe information. It was Improper for police
officers to lay informations on the hearsay state
ments of other parties, aB appeared, to have been
done In the present case. _ _ .
Tbe magistrate thought the Crown should have
been prepared to go on with the oose._ When the
detective was sent to take the prisoner Into custody
at Montreal, the witnesses should also have been
breught forward.
Mr Patterson did not know that the detective
would have succeeded in arresting the priSDncr. He
tbounM, however, that Dr. Blaokburn might bo ro
matdort for a abort time without any.lnjury to him.
If there was anything at &U In the otfonco with
which be was charged, it was a serlons matter, and
If Mr. Cameron desired to do so, be oould bring tho
ptlEoner before the ft noon’s. Bench on. a habtiao cor
pus. If, however, the prisoner was admitted to
hall, the amount should be eufflolent to ensure his
hpueatance when required. After consultation with
Dr. Blacbburn, Mr. Cameron stated that he would
procure the necessary ball.— Toronto Leader, Mag 22.

of tbe Fine Arts which are not at all plais&at to

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

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,

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.

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

of them is oostalned In a note to the editor of a New
