A ketch of the life and labors of the soo would be incomplete withovt 2 proper reference wo the father, to whose Jove of art and eminence in his profes sion bis son Rembrandt owes much of his succese. ‘The “times that tried men’s souls” were not congemal to the culture of art; war absorbed al) energies that, in times of peace, might bave been turned with success into the great channels of commerce, education, mechanics and fine arig. The claims of country were paramount to all others. Bence we find the artist, the lawyer, the clergyman, the statesman, the farmer ani the mechanic all in tho ranks doing battle for that freedom which is pow our blessed inberitance.

More over, little aitention was paid to the chemical properties the colors, and many paintings of the period are now sadly disiigured from tho fact tbat they were painted io i@ or fleeting colors. Mr. Peale early appre. ciated this dificulty, and studied under Professor Woodhouse, in order to make himself ac- quainted with the chemical action of pigments in bis art, We mention this fact to show how | laboriously and conscientiously he strove to master the | elementsz—ihe basis of his profeesion.

TERRIBLE AND SUMMARY BXECUTION OF TWO HORSE ‘THIEVES BY THE POPULACE. Fort Surmn, Ark., Oct. 4, 1860, This afternoon, about three o’clock, a man named Martin B, Gilliam, alias William Owen, formerly of Johnstown, Bates county, Mo., was bung at this place for horse steal- ing, in the presence of a large concourse of citizens. He was arrested some weeks since, and an effort made to bang him, during which he jumped away from the rope, and was shot down while in the act of making his es- cape, His wounds were serious, and medical treat- ment afforded. As soon as his injuries would admit of his being removed he was taken to the county jail at Greenwood, whence he escaped Inst night, and, to facilitate bis flight, stole another horse, but was retaken this morning at Van Buren ‘and returned to this place, where eummary punishment was again determined on, He was led toa tree with the fatal noose adjusted round his neck. Seeing no hope of escape, he confessed his guilt, manifested contrition for his past deeds, sought forgivenees at the Throne of Mercy in a feeling prayer, and carnestly called upon those pre- sent to be admonished by the example before them. He was then swung up and the tragedy was conc!tded. Scareely had these proceedings ended when another prisoner was brought into towa charged with the same offence. He was examined on the street, confessed the crime of which he was accused, and hurried to the fatal spot, and soon swung by the side of his brother in crime. The seeond victim was a Choctaw balf breed, named Shoat. The bodies wil! not be taken down till to morrow. The citizens have become greatly incensed against horse thieves, as of late their ofiences bave been bold and nu- merous, and the operation of the law on this frontier is known to be slow and uncertain.
