Powers STATUE OF CALHoUN.-The Pc
tersburg Val Express, in noticing the general
dissatisfaction of the New England press with
the statue of.Webster, adds
eve have said we are not surprised at the
result, and for the reason that the only work
of the sort which we have ever seen from the
chisel of Powers, appeared to us a total and
melancholy failure We refer to the statue of
Calhoun which stands in the City Hall at
Charleston. If ever sculptor had chance
of immortalizing himself by perpetrating the
commanding presence of one of earths great
est men, such a chance was afforded Hiram
Powers, when he was commissioned to carve
the effigy of John c. Calhoun. The South
Carolina statesman was one of the grandest
looking men that ever walked the EARTH No
one who ever saw his face, on which Divinity
had made SO impressive mark, can have for
gotten it. So statuesque was his breathing
figure SO full of strength and firmness the out
line of his person, that Miss Martineau called
him the "cast-iron man."
And the sculptor had but to catch this state
illness and dignity to give his rigid work force
and majesty above the grandeur of the Greek.
But he utterly failed to do it; there was no re-
sponsive greatness in his own soul, such as
Michael Angelo impaired to his Moses, and
the statue of Calhoun, like tn s latter one of
Webster, will survive to show to a later gener-
alton how much Hiram Powers has been over
rated by his own countrymen. There is
yet a third one coming over to this coun.
try in short time, the Statue of Wash
mgton, ordered by the Masons of Virgin
ia. We have small confidence that this
will be better than tie other two. If it
should exhibit the same feebleness of concep-
ton, then, indeed, will it be remarkable fact
that Massachusetts, Virginia and South Caro-
lima, the three oldest States in the confederacy,
and the three which have given the most lib
eral patronage to art, should have gained three
of the worst specimens of statuary in America.
But there is consolation for us. Powers
came very near having the order for the statue
of Jefferson for the University, which was Civ
en- to Gait. We feel assured that the young
Virginian will not caricature the sage of Mon
tipallO.

GOOD WAGES FOR NEEDLEW0MEN.

Mr. Editor Il do not propose to take up
column of your paper in arguing the wrong
practiced on needlewomen in this city. In re-
ply to your correspondent, OK. Y. L." in his
chapter on poor wages paid to needlewomen,
printed in your paper of the 9th inst, allow
me to say that | am sorry that must come
out as champion in their behalf. With re-
gard to the matter of making overalls, l feel
grieved that so small price must be paid.
The stock, trimming, and making, at the pres
ent prices of the cloth per yard, amounts to
% cents they are sold to laboring men and
mechanics for % cents, thus showing a profit
of 3 cents per pair. l will employ three hun
bred girls aud women, from the ages of fifteen
to forty, possessed of common sense and inge
nuity, who, after being taught under my SUI
perintendence, and in my shop or shops, can
earn from rs cents to 81 90 per day, by dill
gent work. This statement is no braggadocia,
as l will show to the satisfaction of any lady
OF gentleman who will step into my Bazaar
1t does not speak well for the industry of the
needlewomen of this city, when L say that
am obliged to send to the States OF Connecti-
cut, Maine, and Rhode Island, to get 100000
worth of clothing made up. If these poor and
oppressed women whose case is so pitlfully
pleaded by ok. Y. T." will come to my shop
and work with ordinary industry, can teach
them in one month, so that they cen make the
wages above referred to. Do you call this op.
preston? Do you call this tyranny! There
are girls in my shop, to-day, who earn, every
week, six dollars, and all my help are paid in
cash, whenever they want it. do not give
them orders on grocers or butchers, and receive
part of the profit made on the goods they
buy. Not charity of ,cordS, but so much of
real relief, is offered to the poor needlewomen
of Worcester, if they will but accept, by the
friend of the poor, LOUIS Lewiston.

THE OLD CoLoNY-A fire in the weeds at
Falmouth, on Saturday, burned over about
one hundred acres of valuable woodland be-
longing to Richard L. Smith, John jenkins,
and Benjamin 2. Swift, including part of an
orchard belonging to the latter. The fire was
communicated by two boys, and commenced
on the premises of Mr.. Smith.
On Saturday, the works of the Norton Fur
mace Company, at Norton, Mass, were partial
ly destroyed by fire. A large quantity of
stoves, many valuable patterns, together with
the engine and water wheel, were destroyed.
The loss is estimated at $4,000, partially in
sured.
On Saturday last, Mr.. Stephen G. Clifford,
a brakeman on the New Bedford and Taunton
Railroad, was thrown from the top of car on
a switch at Myricks, and had an arm severely
bruised and was otherwise slightly injured.
In addition to the above we learn that two or
three acres of woodland situated in Dighton,
and owned by Miss Corey, were burned during
the day on Sunday. Supposed to have been
set on fire.

We learn from the Providence journal, that
'Shammah in Search of Freedom" book
which makes some sensation, the authorship of
which has been attributed to Mrs. Lydia Maria
Child, was written by Mrs. Frances H. Greene,
Rhode Island lady, whose previous volumes
have given her literary position and found
much favor with the public. Mrs. Greene is
well known to many of our readers-to some
of them, perhaps, best known by her maiden
name, f. Harriet Whipple.

STATUARY.-A few moments spent in the
studio of Mr.. Ball, Mercantile Library Build
ing, Summer street, would serve to open the
eyes of any blind believer in Powers statue
OF Webster, to its extreme want of whatever
such statue should possess. In likeness,
grace, power, and as work of art, it is equally
deficient On the other hand glance at Mr..
Balls cast is sufficient to establish its entire
truthfulness. 1t is the statesman as he lived,
full of spirit and intelligence, just as he was,
just as we should wish to see him. In word,
1t is a faithful reproduction of his figure face,
head, expression, and attitude, and is, in all
respects, work of unquestionable fidelity and
genius. We wish, now, that Powers statue
might be put to any ordinary use for which the
metal itself is fit, and that we might have the
living image of Webster after the cast by Ball,
inspiriting and ennobling to look upon, for our
own benefit and that of future generations

FRUIT.-Peaches, apples, and other fruit
will be abundant in Southwestern Virginia
this season, if the frost doesn't nip the buds
great deal of attention is being paid to the
culture of fruit in that section, and in Taze-

transplanted from Northern nurseries, In
North Carolina, too, great attention is being
oaid to the culture of fruit. The receipts of
its sales last year are estimated at S300,O
1t is stated that in the Guilford region of that
State the cash realized from dried fruit alone
is equal every year to the amount cleared by
the farmers for the same period ten years ago,

distant markets.-Rtclmond Dispateh
