Fine Arts.

Among the pictures which have attracted most atten
tion in the Fine Art collection at the Fair is political
acgory by Mr. f. Augero. who has distinguished himself
in decoration Catholic churches as
well by some admirable historical paintings and por
traits This young artist, although an Italian by birth,
has made himself remarked by the ardor Of his attach
ment TO his adopted country, and he has given fresh
proof Of in the presentation Of this picture (valued
at q thousand dollars) TO the FAIR. The subject
is peculiarly appropriate to the occasion. Il
rs entitled "The Goddess OF Union, attended by Peace
and Plenty dsmssing the Fury Of Rebellion and her Vic
Tins" Ia the composition and grouping OF the figures
Mr. Augero exhibits the classical tendencies OF the school
IN which he has been educated. That Of "Union"
most statuesque in It's character and would a
fine model for the sculptor. The face an expires
sion Of indignation and sadness which conveys forci-
bly, the sentiment Of the aegory. The figures
Of Peace and Plenty are beautifully drawn, the coun.
tenances beaming with angelic joy, typical OF the
restoration Of their influence distracted country
a contrast 10 these have Rebellion suleny
withdrawing from the presence the angry goddess and
hdeous all the repusive aspects that be impaired
such creation. At his feet lie the crushed and
writing victims OF his insensate rage. Groups OF
gels Muroke in their grace and plumpness fill up the
tsbenux In its treatment in other respects the picture
equally meritorious The richness and harmony OF its
show mastery OF color which Is often TO be
found In the works Of such young painters It is evident
that Mr. Augero studied the best schools of cont
mental art He should devote himself TO historical
subjects. With the exception Of Mr.. Powell and some
three or -four artists there none here no can
compete 10 that neld with him.

For instance, suppose Old Abe should tell
what be thought about his denomination and

should say what he thought about the pros

country Suppose Father weles should say
what he thought abou, the rebel torpedoes; or
Stanton what he thought about the tenacity OF
the rebels in thwarting HE fne military combi-
nations. Suppose the people themselves should
say in . laundering voice What they thought
about the gross mismsnagemest OF the war,
the high price Of living, the daily reduction In
the value OF the circulating medium, the pinch

/ The WAR In EURoPE-KBrvIIE oR rHH
GERMANS AT DvPpEI@-Our latest advices
from Europe state that the Germans have
vainly endeavored TO capture Duppel. the
Danish stronghold. The PrussiAn batteries
were deemed very formidable. and "a their
cannon are rifed. and those Of tho
Danes are the old fashioned smoothe bore, Il
was considered matter Of certainty that whom
| general attack was made the Danes would
have to abandon their defences. The result
has proved that these conjectures were erro-
neous The Prussians bombsrded Duppel aud
made grand attack upon 1t, penetrating into
the second line oftrenches. They were, however.
repulsed, and were forced, after Eve hours Of
hard fighting, to give up the attack, retreating
with considerable loss. This disaster to the al
lied forces, added to their unsuccessful attack
upon Frederick and the repulse of their men-of-
war by the Danish vessels, will doubtless cause
them to be more willing to grant the arms tice
desired by the Danes ere they will accept con-
ference. We may state here that the courage
evnced by the Danish soldiers has won even
the admiration of their enemies, who placed a
wooden cross over the graves Of some Danes
whom they buried, with this inscription =
"Here lie twenty-five brave Danes, who fell
heroically on the 18th March, in the combat of
Duppel" This act reflects credit upon both
parties.
1t is asserted in Berlin, In excavation of the
defeat of the Prussians, that the attack made
by them was against the orders of the King
who desired that in no case should any be made
except when positively required by strategcal
motives, which, in this instance, did not exist
the Prussian officers having made the attack on
the Kings birthday, from an excess of obse
quiousness. AS England, Austria and Prussia
have agreed to confsrence-even should Den
mark not be represented thereat-t is likely
that the recent successes of the Danes will make
their enemies more yielding, and pave the way
for more speedy settlement Of the troubles
existing between them. A peace would save
Europe from those dangerous complications
which now threaten her aud, in view Of this,
the German Powers will doubtless be strongly
urged to offer such conditions as the Danes may
accept. Should this course not be pursued
general war in Europe seems almost inevitable,
as Tie DaueS are cVlueuCly determined 10 make "a
desperate resistance, which, prolonged, would
drag into the question England and France.
The CONVENTIONS is q sh0ddy con-
vention to meet at Baltimore and shentper-'
silent convention to meet at Chicago, and both
conventions are absurd and impudent pieces of
humbuggery, without even a respectable ira
dition to justify their existence. There are not
three men in hundred in any community in
the United States who can tell the name of the
man who represents his district in either of
these conventions These conventions are Of
the same kind Of Importance to the people Of
the United States that the assemblies of the
Forty Thieves were to the citizens Of Bagdad.
Will not Congress take some action to kill the
conventions?
