He has been residing in Florence, Lraty, for about thirty years past; for, if we mistake not, he left this city in 1836, to prosecute his noble art amongst the master-pieces of ancient and modern scniptors, Mr. Powers has won wealth and renowo, and haying seen his ca dren married and bis affairs pleasantly setiled in mahageable routine, he is prépared to grat. ify Bi8 lorgipe to breathe his natal air of the Green Mountains, and to.embrace once more his eurviying kindred and to grasp the hands of bis old friends, Me, Powers is almost sixty years of age, haying been born at Woodstock, Vermont, on the 29th of June, 1807. He removed to Oin-, cinnati with his family when about ten years. et age, where he underwent the usual vicissituges of poor boys, until his genius found its appropriate development. His happy atiempts ataculntnre goon attfacted the notice of gentiemenoof taste and his busts andother works at that énrly day. are stil) bighly valued, So soon ashe had “saved enough,” he took the unanimous advice of his frieuds, and went to Italy, At Florence he opened his studio and very soon became a dis- tinguished artist. He has been so long away from the Unitea States that some who knew him not, began to think of him as 4 foreigner. inold times thirty years were comaidered & generation, butin this railroad and telegraph era ten years are tantamount to thirty. Other American artisis living abroad have come back every few years to renew theirjbodily inter. conrse with old aequaintances and to make new friends, and to get new “orders.” Mr. Powers has been absent we may say, for three generations, and will miss many of his warm- est friends, like Mr, Everett and Mr. Webster, who Bave passed away from carth, but there sre many hearts still beating witha respon- sive welcome for him. We have been led to these remarks by the sight of a letter from Mr. Powers toan old friend &nd correspondent of his, S. Yorke AtLee, Esq.. from which we have been per- mitted to make an extract. It bears date— FLORENCE, May 16, 1967. My Dear Friend: * * * You have often invited me to come home. In your last letter you say that you think it might be much to My interest todoeo. I have duly considered all this, and have determined to go home this autumn, nothing oecurring to prevent. But in this determination 1 am not influenced so much by interest as 1am by the desire to be- hoid again my old friends, who—a few of them—*still live” in America, It would at- ford to me 4 melancholy interest, too, to stand over the graves of so many once dear to me, but now departed. As tomy receiving. as you intumate, an or- de: from Congress. 1 am so bappy as not to needit, for iny time is folly occupied, as it is, with profitable commissions. 1 am getting too old to solicit,but,nevertheless, when I look upon a splendid photograph of our Capitol, lately presented to me, it revives my ambition to baye a place there for some ideal work, in honor of the land of my birth, of which I an so jastly proud. 1 will not trust myself to say any more now, but when Lanswer your nD letter 1 will speak more defiuitively of my coming home.

D. C. SATURDAY, JUNE 8, 1867. ‘oes my rere <= Sree HOW DIVORCES ARE OBPAINED. A “New York” wae and an Astonished : ite. (From the Chicago Times, June 4th.) A petition was yesterday filed by Emily A. Sy!westerin the Recorder’s Conrt, asking thac decree of divorce eutered against her, in Feb- rnary last be set aside, upon the ground of traudin obtainisgthe same. Tae ttles stow i that a bill was filed in December last by ber bushand, Joseph H. Sylvester, setting forth that (be parties were married in 1859in the State of Maine, and that they tived together as hushand avd wite until 1863, at which time it ig alleged that Mrs. Sylvester deserted her bus- aud, and tbat the desertion had been con- tinued until the filing of the:bill. An affidavit af non-residence was,on the file stating that the defendant, Mrs, Sylvester, was a non- resident, and upon such affidavit a publica- Yon notice, usual in such cases, was ivsned by ‘the clerk. ‘The notice was published for four weeks in the Western Merchants’ Price Cur- rept, and upon the filing of a certificate to that effect, the default of the defendant was en- tered. The proofs were taken by deposition, the witnesses residing in che city of New York. Ap affidayit of the attorney, A. Goodrich, alleges that be posted the interrogatories to be Propounded to the witmessos, in three public Places, according to the statute. The deposi- tions were returned and the evidence fully sustained the allegations of the bill. Both de- Pouents positively swear that Mrs. Sylvester deserted ber husband at Pcoria, in this State, in i863, althongb ene of them somewhat weakens his testemoay by the additio..al as- sertion that she had no cause whatever for ber desertion. Upon the positive evidence thus furnished, the court ordered that a de- cree of divorce be enter: d, as is customary in such cases. The petition filed yesterday, however, claims that the whole proceedings are trandulentand the testimony wholesale perjury. Mrs. Sylyes- ter states that her husband enlisted in an Eas- tern regimentin which he served until nearly the termination of the war, and was then transferred to the reserve corp3, but subse- quently received a commission im the regular army. She alleges tbat she never was in Peoria, lll.,and that her bnseband has never resided here tor the period of a year, as stated inthe bill, or, in, fact, at all. She further claims that ehe has been in constant corres- Pondence with her husband during the war, and that she has received remittances regular- ly from him until one day, instead of receiv- ig the usual amount of funds, she received a ertified copy of the decree ef divorce above mentioned. What action will be taken in the premises is yet uucertain, the court taking the matter unger advisement. There appears to be nothing upon the record by which the court could be informed as to the nature of the transaction. The only circumstance calculated to excite suspicion is the fact that the pablica- Pai was made in the Western Merchants’ rice Current, a newspaper not usually se- ected for publishing legal notices. This, bowever, was a compliance with the statute Which allows such publication to be made in any newspaper published in the county. The Working Peopie. The New York trades are still earnestly dis- tuseing the eight-hour law, and it has been developed that a'strong feeling exists in some of them in favor of a postponementof achon until atter the present season. The Vurnish- er's Society have instrneted their delegates to the Workingmen'’s Union to urge this post- ponement. The brass founders have:declared that in their work it is practicable to insist on an pniorcement of. the eight-hour law. In New York, on Tuesday, a woman ns $ phia Myers was put on trial; tne cha that sbe bad destauded a number of poor ew- ing girls, It uppeared that sne advertised for fewing girls, and required each applicant to Oeposit 56 4s & guarantee of honesty.

The shooting ef Mr. Hiscock by General Coie, on Tuesday bight, continues to excite great interest at Albany. The priscner was cool and collected on Wednesday, and con- fideutly expressed the opinion that his deed wonld be justified. There seems but litle coubt the Lbooting was premeditated. Upon returning to Stan wix Hall on Tuesday evening, atter the drawing for seats, Mr. His- cox found a note for bim froma lady. making an uppointmentto meethim. He mentioned it to 4 friend, remarking that it was too late to keep the appointment when he received the rote. This was less than balf an hour previous to the murder, and it is a-serted that Mrs. Cole Was the writer. Later developments tend to, show that Mrs. Cole went on to Albany to..warn Hiscock of her husband's intention to kill him, and sent him a note which arrived too iate to be of pervice in making an appointment to meet im, Y The friends of Mr. Hiscook speak wel¥of the previous personal character of General Cole, and his reputation in the army is unimpeach- able. The prisoner's attachment to his wife amounts to an infatuation, and he is very loth to attach any blame to her Considering the Tank of the parties, and the high respectability of their eonnections, the trial promises to be one of unequalled interest, Mr, Hiscock was born in 1-24. He was.an active Democrat up to 1856, when he united in a call of seventeen dissatietied Democrats fora that year, ‘which culminated in a Republican majority of nearly seven’ thousand in the county of Onondaga ac the ensuing Presi- dential election. = {examined by Mr. Wi N2&. 4,447.
