THE SUBJECT FOR A PAINTING

We learn that the following strange con-
ception will be illustrated i'll painting, to
be begun at once, by one of our leading
artists:
Communicated.
With the body Of the assassin Booth, we
have now nothing more to do. Like the
rutfians who murdered the Grand Master. it
has been amply dispOsed of,
1t onIynOw remains for us to record his
arrival, reception, and final and eternal SEN
tence by his Satanic Majesty of the Imperial
Regions. BY what means we came in pos
session OF this fact, is known only to that
midnight angel, whose shadow fell on us as
he passed when he dropped the intelligence
The second day after the spirit left the
unholy body of the murderer, in the re-
served and separate department. it was in
vested with diabolical and demoniac
trown, or new and future formation.
Under guards and escort of two hundred
thousand subjects of the dark domains. it
came in presence of his Satanic Majesty.
1t was deep midnight, the horror and the
hour, accompanied by the flames of carbonic
and sulphurous ether, was dreadful to con-
template.
When the assassin arrived and halted
twelve PAGES in front of the Satanic throne.
he made some effort of excuse, although ac.
knowledging his horrid guilt but to the
conclusion of the whole matter, while hell
is still quaking and devils trembling, let
us review the awful, final and forever eter-
nal sentence. Sentcncc--"In consequence
Of the committal of such an objectionable
crime, whereat the center Of my dominions
shook, and the very devils trembIed. Won
will proceed from my presence to the place
of outer darkness or most Northern parts
of hell, suffering the double and ouadruDle
torments, which only internal spirits know
how to infict. This sentence will be car
ried into immediate effect final and deter
inmate, forever and forever" And there
need be no more doubts as to the certainty
of the foregoing declaration.

jefferson City, May 10
To TIE Editor of the Black Republican
Dear SfT-As am about to take leave of
this institution, thought a synopsis of its
workings and present situation might be in
teresting to many of your readers. Tt was
inaugurated by order of Major Gen. Banks,
the 1st of October 1863, and is another proof
of the care and solicitude which the Gen.
eral has ever manifested for the welfare of
your people. The whole number of chill
dren admitted is 219. These have been fed,
clothed and sent to school; likewise to
church and Sunday myself and wife
having organized u Sabbath school in
neighboring church, Immediately ppon
taking charge of the Asylum.
At o'clock each Sabbath morning you
may see the group, with eager, happy faces,
Fastening to the church across the common,
there to meet with a gathering from the
vicinity, and Join in worshipping that God
who has at last opened the windows Of
heaven and sent showers Of blessings upon
our long oppressed race. This Sabbath
school numbers from ninety to one hundred
children, and their progress is such as 10
give US great courage. Seven months ago
the National Freedmen's Relief Association
Of New York assumed the charge and part
of the expenses of the institution. Since
that time, through the influence of the agent
of that Association, Mr.. W. r. Harmount,
we have been enabled to procure nutritious
food for the sick and young children, which
has greatly improved the sanitury condition
of the institution.
Many Of these children have been claimed
by parents and friends, and many more have
been placed in homes with families of this
city. Of these last | write to state that
there has been an almost entire disregard on
the part Of their employees, to educate as
well as to allow them church and Sabbath
school privileges. [ trust the time is not far
distant when an order will be issued COM
pelling these people to be faithful to their
engagements, as well towards the children
as the adults. TO your most excellent and
tried friend Superintendent Conway, would
here publicly tender my thanks for the
promptness and cordiahty with which he
has assisted me in the procuring of all need
fUl Government stores, and our sincere
thanks is also due to the American Associa-
ton of Colored people of the First Baptist
Church, for the prompt manner in which
they have come forward to our assistance in
making clothing, furnishing nurses and re-
pairs on building, etc. etc. The arrange
ment to put the institution in charge of the |
colored people is measure which you know
have advocated from the very first, and |
trust it will be attended with happy results, |
Respectfully yours,
J. M. CAKDeszK Superintendent
