BATCHELDER's GREAT PAINTING OF
THE BATTLE OF GETTYsBURGH.-Our
citizens should remember that this (Sat-
urday) evening is tba last opportunity
they will have of seeing in Vermont one
of the best of American paintiugs de-
scriptive of the great battle of the war. in
which Vermont troops were so prominent.
Those who were not participants in the
scenes at Gettysburgh, will have the rare
facility of getting a vivid idea of the
struggles of that memorable battle, fully
explained by the rare descriptive powers
of Col Batchelder. All must feel deep
interest in seeing at least the position and
know the part Vermonts sons took in the
contest that turned the tide Of the rebel
lion. No similar painting has ever be-
fore been exhibited in the State or will be
again, as the expense is too large to allow
of it, and this painting is now here at the
request of the Governor and members of
the Legislature, and while in the State
so great was the qualification at its ex-
hibition at Montpelier that Col. Batohel-
der was induced to exhibit it in three of
the largest towns of the State, Burlington,
st. Albans and Rutland. We know
whereof we speak when we ls.ost cordially
commend it to the attention of our oiti-
zens, as we feel deep interest to have
every Vermonter have view of this
painting bsfore it leaves the State. as it
will make the blood course more quickly
and he will be prouder than ever of the
Vermont boys at Gettysburgh. The
Opera House should be filled tonight and
it will well repay the citizens of sdjoin-
ing towns to make the visit to Rutland to
see it. None will ever regret that they
have seen this celebrated paint ting, and in
latter life it will be matter of pride and
history to them.
In the afternoon, it will be remembered
there is to be an exhibition of this paint
ing expressly for the children and the
schools The children designing to at
tend viii please be present promptly at
two o'clock.
