Mr. Loufs Lang’s Reception of the Sixty- ninth Regiment. ' The private view of Mr. Louis Laugis historical picture of the return of the Sixty-ninth regiment after the first battle of Bull run took place om Saturday evening at Goupil’s gallery. There were present General Corcoran and staff, and other Irish officers, besides @ number of our lead- jug Irish citizens and the members of the press. ‘The gathering was a most interesting one, many of the oMcers present having passed through the battle, and assisted at the scene which the picture go graphically re- presents. ‘The painting is some twatve feet tong, and the spectator is supposed to be at the head of Battery place looking towards Pier No.1, the old Washington House bemg on the right, Castle Garden on the loft, and our noblo bay in the centre distance, alive with shipping of all kinds, amongst which are several vessels-of-war firing solutes and manning thelr yards. The painting con- tains over one hundred figures—many of them portraits— all composed and arranged in a most artistic manner. The sense of light and motion is very successfully conveyed, the color is eflective and harmonious, and the eye wanders from one incident to another without the confusion usually attending crowded compositions. As our readers will see the work for themselves, we will’ not enter into a further description of it, but will simply add that it is an important addition to our too few historical paintings, and will undoubtedly add to the already high reputation of the distinguished artist. After spending a couple of hours in the examination of the numerous points of interest in the picture, the company adjourned to another room, where a collation had been prepared, when Mr. Lang called the company to order, and gave a brief account of the origin of the picture aud of the earnest interest which he took in it, remarking that his greatest regret con- nected therewith was the necessity of leaving out the figure of the most distinguished soldier ected with the history and the glory of the old Sixty-ninth; and this feeling was much increased by what scomed, at that time, the almost certainty of his never returning. He had, however, through a sug- gestion given by his friend, Judge Daly, then present, troduced a boy seHing his portrait, and thus had pre- sented him by proxy. He thought the company wonld agree with him that the pictorial absence was more than compensated for by the actual presence amongst them that night of General Corcoran, and he called upon ail present to join in drinking the health, prosperity aud glory of the General. We need not say that the toas’ was received with the most enthusiastic acclamations. Geveral Corcoran, in the most modest and dignified manner, thanked the company for their kind reception of his name, and tendered his cordial acknowledgments to Mr. Lang for the able, conscientious and patriotic manner in which he had recorded the valor, the sufferings and the patriotiem of his fellow soldiers. This picture to bim called up many sad memories. He could not but think of the many brave men who had gone forth with him, but who came not back,and who, on the battle field, bad fought, fallen and died lamenting that they had only one life to give to their adopted coun- try. Then he recognized others who had returned and who were pictured before him, that since had g ne to their long home on other battle flelds, contending for that government and fiag they had sworn to defend: He had tried to do bis duty to his country on the feld ‘and as a ptisoner, and the approbation bestowed upon his brave comrades was sufficient recompense for all he bad suflered. The echo of that giorious ovation bad reached his prison cell in the darkest days of his confluement. The letter of his good friend Captain Kirker, describing that event, cast a ray of light upon the future, and proved that he had a home andacountry. Me would soon return to the flela with his old regiment. and he would promise for all his command hat they would #0 deport themselves that such of them as should return again would be entitled to another wei- come from their fellow citizens. After concluding his re- marks, of which the above is merely a brief synopsis, the® General gave the health of Mr. Lang, who returned thanks ina few appropriate remarks. In obedience to the general call, Judge Daly came for- ward and delivered a brief though most eloquent address, ouiling attention to the mapy merits of Mr. Lang's pic- tore, and especially to the tect that he had not only represented the pomp and glory of ‘war, but also ite darker shades. The wounded, the maimed and the widowed were there. The Judge then im the most solemn and feeling manner alluded to the horrors of this most dreadful of all civil wars, and claimed the right, as an American by birth, though of Irish parents, without “ cffence to tell his American brethren that they, did not look on this struggle with the earnestness they should, ut rather that they regarded it as a gala day ailair, © and (hat the jinmensity and grandeur of its opera tious swallowed up the details of ite painful results and important consequences in the future. He declared his solemn belief that, unless they upon it iu its true aspect, there would be no conclusion of the strife until it had been baonght to the heart and home of every one in the most awful manner. As worthy of the highest commendation and imitation, he reverted to the nobie conduct of General Corcoran—his bravery, his enduranee, his faith through all the dark days of gloom and doabt. Cat off from all friends, with no information how events were shaping the fortunes of the North, in fil health and surrounded by a vindictive evemy, he bad borne himself throughout with heroic fortitude and unflinching Oielity to his govern’ ment. In referring to the absence of Geveral Corcoran from the picture, he remarkel that, like the one men- tioned jn classic lore, “ His absence was more noticed than his presépce.”’ (Cheers. Genera) Corcoran and party, having to leave to meet the Irish regiment, just arrived from Buffalo, bade the company a kind adieu, remarking that the date onthe Irish banner (used as one of the decora- tions in the room) reminded him of the coincidence that the Sixty nth was organized on October the Lith. that they refused on October tho 11th to parade in honor of the Prince of Wales, and that Mr. Lang first exhibited to them his picture on the same date.

Saancaur, July 20, 1862. ‘Two or three years ago the mate of a,coasting vossel came to Shanghac. Ho was neither better nor worse than mates usually are. He was a green, boyish looking fellow, with a fair skin and long black hair, which fell in glossy waves to his shoulders. There was no vory great peculiarity about him, except that his eve showed a vigor- ous constitution and a most indomitable pluck. He was pretty hard up and was unknown. Ho appeared hardly old enough to have been much of an adventurer; yot his life had beon a romance from the first. He had been with Walker in his earlier expeditions, and bad had a taste of civil warfare in the South American States, But it was not in the petty struggles of such maranders alone that he had been schooled. He had been in the Crimea during the terrible war which was cnacted there. He had seen the world, in fact. He had occupied almost every position in the social scale, and at last came to Shanghac themate of a coasting vessel, sound in health and the owner of a good deal more brains than people generally gave him credit for. His name on. the ship’s articles was then piain Frederick Ward. ‘The rebellion in China, not to limit the time of its duration to a nicety, has existed as long as the much of hills; but not the world kuew it. What mattered it to the higher notions of the Western people, who only kuew warfare on civilized principles, that several hundred thousand people in an outof the way part of the world were fighting on the principles understood centuries ago? What interest or excitement could it possibly be to them that an engagomont bad been fought at Chin Chow, wherein fifty thousand banners had engaged seventy thousand banners, and the fifty thousand ban- nere, being in the minority, straightway —relin quished the field, entulimg the terrible couse- quence of a great fight? Foreigners in China didn’t trouble themselves much about it at first, till by and by the rebels.planted their green and yellow cn the seaboard. Some people, indeed, théught they saw in them the deliverers and regenerators of Chima: and the rebels, glad of the alliance, got up a sort of theology and straightway began to preach the doctrine of the irinity, Very many people imagined they understood the meaning of the bombastic prociamations of the ‘Taepings, till an order from the head Wong aunexed another brother to the Godhead, a1 a Quarterly. Besides, these four representat “Heavenly Father’? were represented in the body by eeveral high chiefs of the rebellion; and smoking villages on every side, sacked and plundered, and Leadiess trunks ves of the scattered ever quiet plantations, or floating, black atd ploated, down the river, did not show much of @ regenerating spirit. Not long ago foreigners made up their minds that the rebellion, 80 far as its adopting the Christianity of the West or creating @ government upon evén so good a basis as the imperialists went, was a gigantic humbug. T! ments interested in China changed their policy of neu- trality u pon the change of publicopinion. sull, it was a long time, and after much provocation, that they inter. fered. Shot and shell kept the rebels 2 good distance from the open ports; but wide awake fellows, who lived on salaries, and had av eye to the maim chance, took the opportunity of making a hundred per cent or so, by smuggling German muskets and rusty Grearms of every description up the creeks and rivers to them. The rebelS were very glad to get them,and the custom house officials were not over sbarp im seizing the contraband, So some people became unaccountably very rich, and went home on handsome fortunes acquired in a year' while others, less fortunate, lest all their money-and the ir heads 100 While the revels showed themselves willing to buy German muskets avd to adopt the implements of modera warfare, the imperial power—which is no power at all— stuck to their banners and their cheese knives. While the imperial govermment, from having control of the seaports—a position entirely upheld by foreign guns—and, of course, managing the custome, were afforded every opportumity of buying the pest made instruments of war at a moderate cost, the rebels paid sometimes two hundred per cent for old muskets, whose destructiveness was af much at the breeck: at the muzzle. To be sure the imperialivts made some pretensions, They had two or three stean boats, each carrying three or four guns, officcred by Americana, and with cfews of Manilomen. This fleet of two boats ad an admiral—a foreigner—who was paid re, markably weil for not doing much of anything. Some way or other Ward pleased the Admiral, and the Ad miral told him of an opening for bis talents, where a good deal of money was to be made if a man would only risk his life for it. ‘The Admiral was not fuolish enough to go into the thing himse!f; but he and stood Ward pretty weil, and knew he was a tramp—lke most men, caring a great teal tor money, and unlike most men, caring as little for bis head ‘The opening was thiss— The rebels were pinching’ Shanghwe swdly, amd the imperialists couldn't help themselves. Thirty miles or #0 up the Norsung river was a city called Soonkong, a very strong city, like all Chinese cities of importance, surrounded with high stone walls, outside of which was a deep ditch always filled with water, ‘This was the sore place, and the rebels might be coming out some fine day and make a descent npon ~bang- hae. The imperiaiiste couldn't take the city, it was be. yond their abilities, and they would pay handseme price to get it. So Ward entered, into a contract with them, and promised to take the city for ferty thousand taels. Ho was taken up, and a little while after he, in company with eighty Manilamen, surprised the city of seven thou- sand rebels, took jt by sterm, and then very quietly pocketed his forty thoueand tele, receiving hardly a feratel in the encounter. | = * ‘This was all very well; but the fellow's Wlood was up» ‘aud he wanted to take another city some thirty miles be- yond Soonkong , where the revels had retired aud intrenche €4 themselves more strongly than before.

Putting perfect faith in the invita- tion, and unsuspicious of underhanded measures, the Colonel wout abourd at the timo appoimted, was soized by order of the Captain and put in put irens, Nows of the ‘occurrence spread rapidly through the settlement. Ame- vicans, whether they sympathized with Ward in his acts Or not, wore indignant at the moan and dastardly maanor Of his arrest, They protested against it,and even threat- ened to use force in his liberation. Mattors became no hot that Captain Hire was compelled to forego tho further Gratification of his epite against Americans in the porson of Ward; and upon the latter swearing to the fact of bis being & Chinese subject he was discharged By and by down came the rebels again, making furioua demonstrations against Shanghae, The papor announced ‘a ite weekly issuo, in tho largest type, that ‘a typhoon Of blood was at hand." Kvon English cockneys enrolled thomselves into ® volunteer force and underwont the pe- nance of nightly patrolling the gettloment with guna uion their shoulders, The rebels were all the tims coming, gud all tho timo they dida’t como. Big English hongs wrote down to Hong Kong for naval assistance, and up oame the Admiral to ace what the row was. He went up to Soonkong in the Coromandel, and was much astonishod. Ho found ap army of Chinamen there, dressed in foreign costume, carrying foreign arms, and well drilled im the evolutions of torcign tactics.

Import, ant nobedies, who had seen hard servico at Luck now and Delhi, and know it ali and couldn't be told anything, aut- fered their noses to drop, and were even highly honored when Col. Ward was so gracious as to shake hands with them. Well, the allied forces cloaned the rebels out pretty effectually, news of which reached Vekin, and shortly came the gazettes announcing that Ward was promoted tothe rank of general and lad lis button raised another grade. Ward landed in Shanghae with a suit of clothes and aix Mexicandollars, He #6 now, at a moderate computation, worth as many hundred thousand. Still he exposes him- self in action as much as ever, and seems to have the most utter contempt of life. He does not ask oven a Chinaman to go into any danger he would not willingly face himself. He has the most sanguine ideas about crushing the rebellion in China, albeit his progress thus far has not been much to boast of. He has offered Prince Kung to do it for ten millions of dollars, aud the Prince assorts that such a reward would be insignificant in comparison with the oxtent of the labor, He is now quietly drilling his new recruits and swelling his army daily, preparing for the vext com- ing down of the rebels, which will ensue upon the ap- proach of winter. Dozens are applying every day to join him—members of the police force, marines and sailors from the men-of-war and the shipping; but be is very ju dicious in taking them into his employ. He has some thirty or forty European officers under him, and ba his headquarters at Soonkong, whore the strictest dis- cipline is enforced, So fur as personal appearance goes, Ward is the very ideal of a hero, His face now, from much exposure, is pretty well bronzed, but is naturally very pale, and full and round. Tis hair is of the deopest black, and he wears It falling in curls to his shoulders; aud a slight im perlal and mustache serve to make the palor of his ace more noticeable. His person is stight, bat all muscle. Although not above five feet in height,and with « build exceedingly diminutive, he has been kuowa to whip half @ dozen six footers with an ease and rapidity truly as” tonishing. He wears a blue coat, similar io that in the United States service, and outtoned close to his chin; high riding boots, white pants and a whip in his hand, which ho is always striking his boots with, tinish the picture of one of the most successful men of the day. NEWS FROM WASHINGTON. Wasmeron, Oct. 12, 1862.

WANT OF HARMONY AMONG MILITARY AUTMORITINS There appears to be an unfortanate want of harmony i the action of our military authorities im reference to issu ing orders. For instance, Major General Cassius M. Clay is Dow engaged in making a political campaign, while upon the records of the War Department he is shown to bo under ordera te proceed to New Uricans and report himself to General Butler. Such an ordor was given him by Goueral Halleck. It is said that it was subsequently overriden by a special order from tho Prosident to await further orders, but as neither the President aor Genera! Clay have reported the latter order to the War Depart- ment or to headquarters of the army, thore is no record there of its existence, In another case, a paymaster had been directed to pay Acertain brigade. Before doing so be is anid to haye re- ceived from the President a furlougis for thirty days. The records show that ho is under orders to make the pay meut designated, and, consequontly , n9 other olllcer nas boon detailed for that purpose, ant loud complaints are made that tho soldiers have not boca paid Tp still another cago, amajor genera! of distinction, who has won a high reputativa in tho fi 4 absent trom his command, as itis alleged, by the special permission of tho President, but there is no evidence of the fact among the records at the War Department. This dual and jade pendent authority of issuing military orders is calculated not only to place officers in afalae position, but to create much confusion in the service. THK EXPLOSION AT PITTSRURG. A Court of inquiry, consisting of Lieutenant Colonel George Andrew, Major Campbell Graham and Major W J. Newton, United States Army" is ordored to convene at Alleghany Arsenal, Pittsburg, on the 15th instant, to investigate the circumstances attending the recent ex, plosion which occurred at that place. ‘he Court is or- dered to report the facts and give an opinion in the matter.
