tie Atlantic States for many years, and the
resuI, has been to develop All artist talent
that is acknowledged by the first masters Of
the continental schools.

of this kind in San Francisco, and are now
pleased to record its inauguration. The
society have opened a gallery. where are
already placed many fine paintings, and it is
crowded daily with visitors, Upon the pay
ment of five dollars, any person can become

Eastern News.

The overland telegraph has been much
under the influence of Omaha and 5ulesburg
this week, and consequently eastern news
items have been scarce, although the few
that have come to hand contain matters Of
Intelligence.
An attack on Fort Fisher, at the mouth Of
Cape Fear River, was again made on Sun
day last, by the feet under Admiral Porter,
and the military command under Gen. Terry,
and after furious bombardment and assault
the work was captured, including Gen. Viii
ting, Col. Lamb, and 1900 prisoners. The
Federal loss was severe, and much damage
was done TO the fleet This is the fort that
Butler lately attacked, and for not capturing
it, was said to have been removed.
There are other forts at the mouth Of
Cape Fear River, tha. guard the approaches
10 Wilmington, that are not yet captured
1t is thought that no attempt will be made
10 capture the town, (Which is some distance
up the river,) but to reduce the forts near
the ocean, in order to break up the blockade
business to the port
Little is said of Sherman or Grants move
ment's but is intmated that important news
may soon be expected from them.
Accounts are silent as to army matters il
the West.
Henry S. Foote, the garrulous old poIiti
cal fossil of the Confederate Congress, and
the worn enemy of JEFF. Davis, was arrested
the other day while making his way from
Richmond to Washington, in company with
bis wife. He was captured north Of the
Rapidan, and taken back to Fredericksburg,
while Mrs. Foote was allowed to continue
her journey. 1t seems that Foote bad re-
solved to turn traitor 10 the Confederacy
after having been one Of the most noisy and
vindictve Of rebels. His failure aud dis
grace fails to excite sympathy from any
quarter.
Ben. Butler having been disgraced by re
moval from command it would appear tha:
be is trying TO get even on some body, as
the dispatches say that be has been before

and that his testimony lifts the veil which
has closely covered many of the disasters
and blunders in front Of Petersburg His
testimony produced profound impression,
and summonses were issued for Grant and
other high officials.

THE HEART AND THE BRAIN.-Heart
and Brain are the two lords of life. In the
metaphors Of ordinary speech and in the
stricter language of science we use these
terms to indicate two. central powers whenc
all motives radiate, TO which all influences
converge. They rule the moral and the
physical life: the moral owes 10 them its
continuous supply of food and stimulus.
All the composite material which serves
to build up the bodily fabric and repair its
daily waste is only SO much 'carted material
awaiting the architect, until it has twice
passed through the heart-until, having
been sent by the heart to the lungs, it has
there received its plastic virtues, and re-
turns 10 the heart to be thence distributed
throughout the organism. So much is ia L.
milar to every one; but less familiar is the
fact that this transmission of the blood from
heart tv lungs, and its distribution through
out the organism, are rendered possible and
made effective only under the influence Of
the brain.

ELEGANT EXTRACT.

There is an eventide in human life, a
season when the eye becomes dim and the
strength decays, and when the winter of
age begins TO shed upon the human head its
prophetic SHOWS. 1t is the season of life
TO which the autumn is most analogous,
and which it becomes; and much 1t would
profit you, my older brethren, to mark in
struction which the season brings. The
spring and summer of your days are gone,
and with them not only joys they knew, but
many Of the friends who gave them. You
have entered upon the autumn of your being
-and whatever may have been the pro-
fession of your spring, or the warm tenn
permanent Of your summer, there is sens on
of stiffness or solitude which the benefi.
cence Of heaven affords you, in which you
may mediate upon the past and future, and
prepare yourself for the mighty change
you may soon undergo.

The Hannibal Courier says that Gen.
John Mcneil was In Hannibal on election
day and appeared at the COURTHOUSE pre-
cinct TO vote. He informed the Judges that
he was now abou. to take the prescribed
oath and "swear TO Cd id lie." But
the perjury connected with this swearing
he held to lie upon the souls of those who
prescribed the oath, and not Upon himself
He presented as palliation to his con-
science, the following document in the
shape Of protest against the OATH:
PRorEsr.- Hannibal, NO., June 9th,
1861, John Mcneil, of the city and
county of St. Louis, State of Missouri, be-
ing in the city of Hannibal, Missouri, and

ton Of the Constitution proposed by the

of Missouri, hereby enter my solemn pro-
test against the oath proposed in Section
9th, Article Cd of said Constitution.

PIcTuRE OF THE RED SEA-Hogarth

to paint on his staircase representation Of
the decription of Pharaoh's host in the
Red Sea. In attempting to fix upon the
price, Hogarlh became disguised with the
misery conduct Of his patron, who was
unwilling to give more than half the real
value OF the picture. At last, out of oil
patience, he agreed 10 his terms. In two
or three days the picture was ready. The
nobleman, surprised OF such expedition i'm.
mediately called TO examine 1t, and found

DEPEND UPON YOURSELF.

The editor of the Albany Knickerbocker
is sensible man. There is more truth
than poetry in the following, which we copy
from bis spicy paper:
Bad luck, as well as mischance and mis-.
fortune, are all the daughters of misconduct,
and sometimes the mother of success, pros !.
perl'y and advancement. To be thrown
upon ones resources is to be cast into The
very lap of fortune. Had Franklin entered
Philadelphia with thousand d,llars in hi,
pocket instead of one shilling and nine.
pence, as he did, in all probability he would
have gone on "spree," instead of hunting
up employment, and died at thirty FIVE from
driving tandem teams and drinking brandy
smashers, instead Of living to the green old
age of eighty, and dying philosopher,
whose amusement was the taking of thun.
derbolts and bottling CT lightning. Had
Napoleon's father been the owner of a
princely estate, his son would never have
got 10 be emperor. AgoOd kick out of doors
is better for a boy than all the rich uncles in
the world. One never tries 10 SWIM so
hard as when he's got to do il or drown.
