The CAPTIVE IsRAELITEs.-This sslendid
picture has received large share of the pub,
lie attention since it has been here, and We be-
lieve there are few who have seen it once that
do not wish to see it again. We are no Judge
of the fine arts; yet TO US, in one very essen
tial partic ular, it seems to claim, with justice,
very high degree of praise. The figures
stand completely out from the canvass, and
appear in no manner to be connected with it.
This, we believe, is one of the most absolutely
necessary requisites to good picture. The
human beings, the trees, the walls of Babylon
ty, the moon just appearing to take her place
in the heavens as the sun goes down, are all
perfectly natural. The artist seems to have
paid an unc onmon degree Of attention to the
proper distribution Of light and shade, and each
figure is represented with exactly as much as
it is entitled to, from the position in which it
stands or reclnes. The most prominent fig
ure is that ofthe prophet jeremiah, who seems
in the attitude of pouring forth one of his su-
bllme laments for the ruin which their own
sins had brought upon the children of the
Promise. The prophet Daniel has just been
whispered to by soldier, and seems about to
leave the congregation. The figure of the
prophet Habakuk is also prominent one. In
truth the whole picture is eminently faithful
to tradition and to the Scripture.
In the evening Madame Durand, an excel.
lent vocalist, and Signor Novelli, give con-
certs. The entertainment, on the whole, is
very good.

Dir. j. w. WALLAcK, JR.-This excellent
actor, who has been playing for several nights
at our Theatre, deserves the warm applause of
the play-going community. Mr.. Wallack is a
gentleman ofvery decided genius for his pro-
fession. He has attained to very high de-
gree OF accomplishment, and promises to rise
yet higher in his art. We say this now, not
the hope of doing him any especial service
ust at this particular time, for his engagement
closes with to.night's performance-but SIM
ply to EXPRESS our own opinion of him. His
performance of Werner last night did him
great credit and it is high praise to say this
much for him in that play. The admirers of
dramatic representations should not let him
go away without seeing him. To.night-his
last Dight-he plays "Melanthius," in the
"Bridal."

AN APPEAL TO THE LIBERAL AND GEKER-
ovs.-A card in the Dispatch announces that
several of our German fellow-citizens will 60
the rounds of the city for the purpose of rails
Ing money to build church for the Ger
man Lutheran population. We trust they
will meet with general encouragement. The
people of Richmond, We take pride in saying,
have always proven themselves to be liberal
minded and generous people. No religious
prejudices have ever stood in the way of their
generous aid to any portion of our citizens
who asked for assistance, to procure place
to worship God in after their own fashion. All
Jew and Gentle, and every variety of Chris
tan denomination to be found within the linn
its of the city-have had the best evidences
that no narrow and bigoted ideas actuate our
citizens. We feel assured that our Ger.
man felIow.ctizens, who are neither very large
in numbers nor possessed of much aggregate
wealth, will be extended that liberslity which
has ever characterized our people.

OZARK or Ma. THos. CowIEs.-We have
to announce, this morning, the death Of Mr..
THOMAS CowLEs, one Of the very best and
most useful citizens or Richmond. He died,
yesterday, ofpneumonia, at an advanced age.
For long series Of years he had been either .
member of the Council or an Alderman, and
had always exhibited great deal Of devotion
and fidelity to the public interests and the d.
ties of his Office. He was man, we believe,
universally esteemed and although long res
ident of Richmond, we have yet TO hear the
first word against THOMAS CowLEs. HIS was
a good citizen, a just man, a faithful and de-
voted husband and father, and true chris
tan. He dies regretted by all who knew him.

abuse which has stolen upon the American
people through the usage Of distributing the

we recently had occasion 10 comment, is thus
graphically depicted by 'IoN' in the Balti-

Il notice that great Ignorance is affected
in some quarters of the fact that Congress
has become the appointing power in this
Government. The powers of the Execu-
tive in respect TO appointments, have been
practically usuipcd BY Congress. They de-
signate the army and navy appointments.
the foreign appointments, and all the civil
appointments, down to the clerks and mes
sengers, and they DO their best to save the
people the trouble Of electinr President.

TUE GOLDEN AGE-Nearly six years
have now elapsed, says the New York Her.
aid, since the discovery Of gold was mado
in California, and within that time, at least
two hundred millions Of gold have been ad-
ded 70 The currency Of the world from that
single source. Australia las not been .
long IN the field, and the product hrs not,
therefore, been 20 great. 1t would not be
far out of the way to put the product OF
that country down at fifty millions. To be
within limits, we estimate the aggregate ad-
dition to the gold currency OF the world.
within the past six years. to be about two
hundred aud fifty millions of dollars.
