Stanton, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. He died suddenly this morning at three | o'clock, of congestion of the heart, at his resi- dence on K street, between 13th and 14th. Mr. Stanton has been in bad health for the past year or two, but on Thursday, the Lith imst., he was suffering so much from an attack of the dropsy that he was unable to leave his room; € that time he has bec n confined to his Louse but not to his bed continually. | Yesterday he was complaining a good deals | | | n ¢ * th= civilized world sing sotim songs in harwomy with the music of the spheres m3 .

Surgeon General Barnes, his attending physician, was immediately with him, but found it impossible to do anything for his relief. Rev. Dr. Starkie, of the Church of the Epiphany, (Episcopal,) of which Mr. Stanton was an attentive member, was summoned, but shortly after his arrival Mr. Stanton lost con- seionsness, and was able to converse with no one. In this condition the life of the great war min- ister passed tranquilly away.

Mr. Stanton was bern in Steubenville, on the 19th of December, 1815, and consequently was 54 years of age last Sunday. Mr. Stanton has been twice married, having been married the second time to Miss Hutchin- son, of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, about fourteen years since, who is the mother of his three youngest children, Ella, Lewis and Bessie. His mother is still living in Ohio, and a tele- graphic dispatch was sent to her this morning. His last moments were very calm, and he ap- peared to suffer but little, although speechless and unable to recognize his frienda.

War Derartvent, WASHINGTON City, Dec. 24, 1859. The following order has been received from the President of the United States : Executive Manstoy, WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 24, 1869. ‘The painful duty devolves upon the President of announcing to the people of the United States the death of one of its most distinguished citizens and faithful servants, the Hon. Edwin M. Stanton, which occurred in this city at an early hcur this morning. » He was distinguished in the councils of the na- tion during the entire period of its recent strag- gle for national existence; first as Attorney General, then as Secretary of War. He was unceasing in his labors, earnest and fearless in the assumption of responsibilities necessary to his country’s success; respected by all good men and feared by wrong doers.-In his death the bar, the bench, and the nation sustain a great loss, which will be mourned by all. Asa mark of respect to his memory it is or- dered that the Executive Mansion and the seye- ral Departments at Washington be draped in mourning, and that all business be suspended on the day of the funeral. U. S. Grant. The eminent ability of the late Secretary of War, his legal acquirements, his tirm patriotism and his sturdy devotion to duty in the most try- ing times of the Kepublic when many others fal- tered have commanded the admiration of the country, while his management of this Depart- mentd during the days when a man of deter- mined energy and will was demanded, has marked his term of office as one unequalled in administration. It is ordered that the offices connected with the Department of War be draped in mourning for a period of thirty days, and all business sus- pended therein on the day of the funeral, and that on the day after the receipt of this order at each military post fifteen guns will be fired at appropriate intervals commencing at meridian.

It may be sum- med up =“ Jack and the ” at the National; Wild, Barney & Mac’s Minstrels at the Opera House; good performances; fair houses. Nothing more. Next weck about the same, only a little more so. Holiday perform- ances will hold the boards at the National, antl Kelly & Leon’s excelient and favorite troupe will make houses full of mortals happy each night at Wall's. These are appropriate enough for the times; but after Congress, +> semper we shall donbtless have something the legitimate drama at both places. — At Boston the main attraction continues to be “A Midsummer Night's Dream,”—now in its eighth week. Mrs. Scott-Siddons’ engagement, which closed last week, was short, but satisfae- tory allaround. The Bostonians think she has improved greatly since she Hakde her debat there. Miss Western is doing well at the Bos- ton, and Sangalli isthe star at the Atheneum. ~ — There is no change since our last note of amusements in New York,—Hackett at Beoth’s, standard comedies at Wallack’s, and the half- sensational, half-scenic drama at the other theatres. — Of Philadelphia substantially the same may be said,—“ Patriee” at Laura Keene’s, Chesnut street, Miss Bateman in ‘+ Warner” at the Walnut, and light come ah Drew's Arch street, with suitable Chi perform- ances at each place for matinees to-morrow. The Italian Opera opens at the Academy for a season of twelve nights on the 3d proximo. — Chicago is still revelingin Maggie Mitchell and Emerson & Manning’s Minstrels, with the Parepa-Rosa troupe for three extra nights this week,—bringing out “Der Freischutz” last eve- ning for the first time in English in this country. — Patti sings in Cincinnati to-night, to-mor- row night, and next Wednesday evening. The other attractions there this week are Lotta, at ‘Wood's, and Fox and the Kiralfy troupe at the National. — At Louisville amusements have dwindled down to a sort of parlor circus, under the man- agement of James Robinson, the bare-back rider, and Skiff & Gaylord’s Minstrels. — The Worrell sisters are at the Olympic, St. Louis, and the Lydia Thompson troupe close their engagement at De Bar’s Opera House to- morrow evening. — At New Orleans, John E. Owens, Chan- frau, and Mrs. Bowers are the attrretions at the Varieties, the St. Charles and the Academy, respectively with French opera by a local com- pany at the new Opera House. —The Florenees are still at Richmond, but close to-morrow night. — Kate Keignolds is making a successful tour of the New England cities. She was at Provi- dence at last accounts. — Mrs. Lander made her debut in “ Eliza- beth” at the London Lyceum Theatre on Satur- day evening last, and won high praise from all the principal papers of that city, according to the cable. —Fechter, the highly puffed and, doubtless, excellent French-English tragedian, who is now on his way to this country, will open at Niblo’s Garden, New York, on the 10th of January, in “Ruy Blas,” and will be supported by Miss Carlotta Leclercq, a leading English actress. ‘The fact that Mr. Fechter personates “« Ham- let” in a blonde wig has elicited a good deal of criticism, one time and another, but we do not see why, since that was doubtless the color of the melancholy Prince’s hair. A brunette or dark-haired Dane is a scarce article even in these days of international intermarriages. — The paragraph going the rounds that little Minnie Warren is dangerously ill, grew out of a stupid joke iu a California paper that she coald not live “long.” —Organists and choir singers have, in the opinion of the London Musical World, up-hill work, ‘‘from being subjected to the complaints of male and female busy-bodies, and from the meddling hands of parsons (which meddle with a lofty consciousness of heayen-sent qualitica- tions).”” — Grisi’s death, at Berlin, occurred on her way to St. Petersburg. She was accompanied by her children, and was journeying to the Rus- sian capital to join her husband, Signor Mario, who was telegraphed to hasten to her bedside, but arrived too late to see her alive. She had partially recovered, and was preparing to con- tinue her journey when a fatal relapse took place. — In spite of a great deal of over wrought praise, the season of Italian Opera which elosed in New York this week was not a success, and the performances as a whole were below the usual average. Indeed, it is said, that but for the popularity and pains taking efforts of Kel- logg and Lefranc the whole affair would have been a dead failure. — The sale of pictures belonging to the Artist Fund Society, which took place in New York on Tuesday evening, produced $3,530.50, exclusive of frames. Those which brought the best prices were:—“‘A Letter to Father,” by Eastman John- son, $530; ‘Bay of Venice,” by S. R. Gifford, #310; “Evening on the Delaware,” by W. Whit- tredge, $300; “Adirondacks,” by A. Laurie, $295; “Falling Leaves,” by G. H. Boughton, #260; “Beverly Beach,” by J. F. Kensett, $255. — Aroused to action by the Corcoran Gallery in this city, and the steps recently taken in the same direction in New York, the Bostonians are mow moving toward securing a Museum of Art atthe Hub. If nothing else that is good can come outof Washington, she has at least set her rister cities an execllent example in this respect. — Kellogg, at his studio, over Galt’s, is just putting the finishing touches to a fine portrait of Commissioner Delano, which he has painted under @ commission from a number of the clerks in the Internal Revenue office, who intend it as & Christmas token for Mrs. Delano. — A letter from Rome says the American ar- tists there are opening their studios for the win- ter. Rogers, Mozier, Freeman, Coleman, Ives, Inman, the brothers Hazeltine, are all at work, asusual. Miss Cushman, with health complete- ly restored, as e0 many of her friends will be glad to hear, is expected daily, with Miss Stebbins; and Miss Hosmer has sorffe surprises in her stu- dio not yet allowed to see the public light. Story is working upon a statue of the daughter of Herodias, just as she has ceased dancing. — Powell’s forthcoming picture of the “Bat- tle of Lake Erie,” which he is painting for the Senate wing of the Capitol, is said to be nearly finished. It is already being elaborately puffed in some quarters, but the public will probably want to sce it and judge for themselves, before going imto rapturesover it. For our part, con- sidering the dress-parade style in which the artist De Soto and his followers through the wilderness to the banks of the Mississippi, We are curious to see how jauntily dressed and orderly he can show Perry and his gallant tars at the period when the most of them thonght they were soundly thrashed by the British. — A couple of paintings have been recently Drought to light in Paris, which have partieular interest for Americans.
