A GREAT NATIONAL WORK.
THE GALLERY OF INDUSTRIOUS
AMERICANS. b."
Daguerreotypes by Brady---Engraved by
D'Avignon. 1870.
EnIrEn BY AN ASSOCIATION on LITERARY MEN.

EpITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.
FINDER this title will be published, during the
~ year 1850, twenty -four Portraits and Biographi-
cal Sketches OF American citizens who have become
nstrious in the service of the country. Every por-
ton Of the work will receive the most careful aten-

mad enduring monument to the great men of the Re-
public. D.. 10 10
Mr. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, in collecting Portraits for National Gal
lery, and those which being engraved for this
work are believed 10 be superior to any that have
ever beeg taken. In the Accomplishment Of this great
object he has experienced the utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished men. Mr.. Rrady's
reputation has been too long established to need any
recommendation. His daguerreotypes in the
highest sense the works OF art, glowing with tie soul
Of the living conntenance
The drawings and engravngs Of DAvignon have
been pronounced by Europeans OF taste to be fully
equal and in SOME respects superior to those oil the
best artists OF London and Paris and every i'm
preston in this Gallery will be taken under his i'm
mediate supervision The Typography will be exc
cuted az carefully and in as superb style the ell
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper, l6 by % inches, made
expressly for this purpose. '..
This work has nothing sectional in its scope it
will therefore be comprehensive IN is spirit. The
names of those men only admitted whose talents
and public services have won for them honorable
fame throughout tne natipn. Each OF the great dc.
partments of life wil have its representatives. Art
and Literature univ ersal in their spirit, and the
Gallery is intended to be worthy and enduring
umcnt to the great men OF the Republic, whose
achievements and fame constitute the chief glory of
the nation We hope that every lover Of Art, and
friend of our glorious Union viii respond to APP
peal for cement and aid in commendabc an
Undertaking. that its publication may make an era IN
he progress Of A,uercan Art, and by grouping the
llnstrous men oil the Union toSsher, consolidate it
still more firmly.
AS no work Of this kind has appeared in America,
and the prices they sustain in Europe would place il
beyond the reach of most of citizens, the publish
ers have resolved TO merit large circulation, by
charging very low price. They have, therefore,

 by about the same time, and that her father had tried to kill himself when they died. It was horrid. The child was ta-

The child afterwards stated that her name was Mary Williams, and Mr. J, thought, from what he could gather, that the family had formerly lived in New Albany, but in what New Albany he could not as- certain, more than as the child said, there were great many houses there, and it was evidently New Albany, Ind. The negro said the family had been there several weeks, and came directly after his master had left. As there was not I family in the neighborhood, the person having gone whom Mir. J. wished to see the girl, who was sick and exhausted, was left with the negro, who promised faithfully to attend her. Yet there are but little hopes of her recovery. It has never been our misfortune to hear a more horrible tale of reality than this.

GCtllSeman0,

Lieut.. Lynch, of the United States ex- ploring Expedition to the river Jordan and the Red Sea in ls4s, visited the garden of Gethsemane about the middle of May. He says:
 "The clover upon the ground was in bloom, and altogether, the garden, in it's aspects and associations, was better cal culated than any place know to soothe a troubled spirit. Eight venerable trees, isolated from the smaller and less impo> sing ones which skirt the pass of the Mount of Olives, form a consecrated grove. High above on either hand, tow~ CTS a lofty mountain, with the deep yawning chasm of Jehosaphat between them. Browning one of them is Jerusa- lem, a living city; on the slope of the other is the great Jewish cemetery, a city of the dead.
 "Each tree in this grove, cankered and gnarled and furrowed by age, yet beautiful and impressive in its decay, is 8 living monuments of the affecting scenes that have taken place beneath and around it. The olive perpetuates itself, and from the root of the dying parent stem, the young tree springs into existence.-- These are accounted one thousand years old. Under those of the preceding growth, therefore, the Savior was wont to rest; and one of the present may mark the very spot where he knelt and prayed and wept.
 No caviling doubt can find entrance here. The geographical boundaries are too distinct and clear for an instant's he's itation. Here the Christian, forgetful oi the present, and absorbed in the past can resign himself to sad yet soothing meditation. The few purple and crim' son flowers, growing about the roots O trees, will give him ample food for med itation, for they tell of the suffering and ensanguined death of the Redeemer."
