The great painting of the Battle of Gettys-
burg, by James Walker, of New York, from
sketches and designs by Col. Bachelor, was
first exhibited to the citizens of Worcester last
evening, at Horticultural hall. The painting is
too well known to need detailed description from
us As a work OF art it grows with acquaint-
ance. 1t has nothing of the sensational or dra-
matte in its composition. The traditional thrust
of bayonets and clubbing of muskets, so seldom
witnessed in American battles, yet so often rep.
resented in paintings, has been entirely ignored
in this, nor has the artist exhausted himself
upon a single episode, with few prominent Off
GERS in the foreground. On the contrary, the
battle in all its granduerihas been grasped. The
eve having taken in the foreground scene,
sketches away into the distance where regi-
ments and batteries either engaged or in reserve
are seen all over the landscape. 1t is hard to
realize that piece of painted canvas can be
made So deceptive. That acres and miles of
country filled with armed men could be SO faith
fully represented. Nor can the merit of the
painting be fully appreciated without frequent
examinations, aided by good opera glass. The
value of such a representation of history is in-
calculable. Never in the history of warfare
has equal labor and care been bestowed in the
completion and execution of such work.
The designer, Col Bachelor, reached the field
OF Gettysburg Immediately after the close of the
battle, Ills early military education, his expe.

INDIANS, NOT WHITE HIGHw AYNtEN.
SAN Francisco, Nov. 16.-DiSpatChes from
Arizona mention that the Indians who butchered
the Wickenburg stage passengers left green
backs scattered over the ground. They did not

highwaymen disguised. Active pursuit of the
Indians is being made. The press of the Pacific
coast are unanimous in the denunciation OF the
interference of Vincent Collyer in Arizona.

The FUTURE OF IRELAND was the subject of
