The visitors were in what might be called a dubious mood, They were claved and hopeful be- cause on Tuurs‘ay they had defeated the Keystones at Philadelphia, and yet they were somewhat diil- plons. They seemed to be about to play against the name—Allantic—as much as against the club itsell, and, therefore, were by uo means as conident us they might bave been, When the game began the youngsiers speedily showed that aa were not to be trifled with, Mr, Bailey at centre fleld finishing Start by a handsome fy catch, ‘The wind al ue Line was blowing quite freslily Wom the weal, batting mizhi be saul to be entirely on a DEAD BEAT YO WiNOWARD, but the heavy hitters managed io get a tack on tne bail occasionally abd sent 1 scaddiay ov fiying aloug to the outer ficid, The score givea below will suow now wuch each man did towards tue winning of the game; but as the youngsiers were somewaat nervous It is unfair to Mention how much each of Weir men Jaiedtodo.

Ou this score, however, ‘Mr. Smith might be overhauled, for in the fiith m- ning he showed @ lack of judgment remarkable in an old piayer, A ball was hit to him at third; he stopped it, but fumbied it; a ranner on third started for “home,’? and instead 6f throwing the bail to Pearce, Who stood ready to play the point, he mado # poor threw to first, aliowing the striker to get the base and the oter runner te score. ‘The mistakes on the Adantic side, however, were very few. ‘he ball made two mistakes, once hitting Pearce on the Jaw and again on te frontal bone, wnea tipped by the batter, Pearce was dazed, but not injured, THE SCORB of the game is as follows: ATLANTIC, PASTIME, 1A.T.PO,A. — Players 1B.7,P0.A 13.8 i Buck. db. tee % 7 2 4 Chenownh, ¥ 47380 "earce, C. 13 2 Baie (2440 Chapman, T 47 0 Wiliams, c.

Pants, July 11, 1870, The opening letter of a series on the Paris Salon contained @ paragraph in which your art correspondent compar:d himself to a buay bee, skimming over an extensive meadow and led on from groove to sweets so far that, with the very best intention to get through his work leisurely and methodically, he ever found himself lost when it was time to turn back to the hive. Not only Jost, but too heavily laden with sundries collected on the way, and still such interesting bits trat, like the child who has made vp a nosegay along the stream, it costs a pang to throw one stray leaf or floweret away. Why should he? What if the pleasant things are not all of the same botanic classification? There are eccentric characters ever;where else, therefore I have changed the title of my corre- spondence to your readers to-day, and having added ‘curiosity’ to the arts hope long to revel in ‘free elbow room.” It is, moreover, most re- | freshing in this heated term to lay down the special eritic’s quill in blessed oblivion of academic rule, To be truthful besides, there is just now little left in Paris to criticise. Those sharp steel pens which spit and break over fair paper have nothing left todo but rust in ink or quiedly comment oa the Exposition, which will take place at Havre from 15th Angust to Ist October, or on the grand International London Art Exhibition of 1871, Thope I am taking no one in when I vay that Thave found a good thing, to say which, I fanes, expresses the feeling of the whole artistic world at present—namely, that every man who lives up in a studio wishes he were a Knight of Bath, and thatas far as I am concerned I wish I were of- fered a seat even within the ‘pale’ of the Bishop of Wells, Men’s minds will frolic in the “dog days,”’ because the body is prosirate. A very, striking instance of the frolicking mind is Fran- cieqne Sarcey’s ease, and I greatly fear it was the heat also which caused bim to become the present victiin of the Paris caricaturists. Poor Sareey! he at first touk up a ‘“speciulite.” It was that of avenging the wrongs of the literati and small artists, of the widow and orphan and oppressed. Me did it bravely, too, in the style of antique knights who went scouring the country about for distressing cases to relieve, a thing almost incomprehensible now as a private calling. Sarcey’s style of skirmishing made him immensely popular; his quill, too, was as much feared as a blade from the plains of Marathon, while a noble ambition to serve his country fired bis bosom, U: fortunately he awoke one sunny morn with a notion that the day had dawned for him to ont off all the tall poppy heads which rise npon the plains above small vegetation, and the first be eyed for a levelling sweep was no Jessa man than the puissant, portly superintendent of the tine aris, M. de Rinuwerkatke himself, the most medimval of figures, apd whose flowing beard should algne have imposed re- spi Sarcey’s attack came on in puragraphs | “Red lined with bristles and headed by a title, Heels.” It filled a colamn and abalf in the paper and canbe resumed as follows:—‘Y¥e people of France, ye artists, what do t of the superintendent? He is your ty sa man who takes the best p Is of the Louvre for his own residence gets pay as a superintendent hasn’t any right to be either; works with your pence; it is your money he 1s ding all the time; he is 2 dunce; he has just caused a lot smashed by ha’ a stairease, ye pi plates y No oue can blame M. de Nieuwerkerke for con- cluding that these remarks were not complimen tary, He put a very unfavorable constriction on them, and M. Sarcey had to retract. There- upon the vress called fire, and the ditto artists both literally and artistically growled. M Superiatendent thea sent two trie s cey, andinthe next day’s paper the writer re- tracted more fully and very humbly. The con- clusion of these red heels is that F. Sarcey is flattering frum all the Bonlevard "kiosks on the deser! ait; he is represented under the sword of Damocles, with terror on his features and his worn down quill has dropped from bis trembling ands, The other hubbub is silenced also. T allude to the sensation caused by Gustave Courbet’s refusal of the cross. The opinion of the unbiased majo- rity is that he was quite at liberty to re- fuse the intended honor, but not in the noisy, conspicuous way he assumed. Middie aged men, who thivk most of their private dignity, say little about it, make no parade of it, and never bring it forward lest it should be exposed. Consequently M. Courdet was unwise in referring to this sensilive part of his artistic nature, it has caused people to put up their lasses at it, and what have they discovered? Well, that Mr. Cour- bet in one instance of his past life did not treat it so tenderly. There was painted one time for Khalel-Bey (for a good round sum) the celebrated elite of two very indecent women, such as the sastern pachas delight in dreaming of up in Ma- homet’s paradise. “Le respect de sci meme,” should have been cousidered when the order was given for a work that has to be hidden behind a green curtain, and of which the only inspiration is of the mest debasing character. ot thus have others refused the proffered order. An unostenta- tious “No,” without trumpet-call and correspond- ence, would have been more worthy of Courbet’s great talent in every style. WHAT JS COMING ON AND TO BE SEEN. The marine expos.tion at Naples promises to be quite a national fele, for Mercadante bas beeu re- hte to wnie a cantate on the cocasion of this celebration, and the King of Italy will bo present at ihe distribution of prizes. MORE FROM ITALY. Totelligence from Milan informs me that a very remarkable statue of Leonardo de Vinci will shortly be erected on the Place de la Scala. It is the work of Chevalier Mogni, the Italian sculptor; and at Florence a magnificent tomb to the mem- ory of Ugo Foscolo will perpetuate this «great poet's worka. His remains are to be deposited within Santa-Croce, which is the Florentine Pan- theon. From Germany comes the welcome news that the sum of 4,000,000 florins have been subscribed as security for the universal exposition of Vienna, the above capital having been made up by twen- ty-five banking houses of this city. * In Silesia a portrait of Luther has been discov- ered under successive layers of thick dust and cobwebs. It was ina passage leading from the evangelical church of Reichenback to the school room of this small town, both buildings being in good preservation still. This portrait is consid- ered the beat and proves to have been painted by Lucas Cranach. SALES. Two sales are announced to take place which offer very different interest. One is that of Nestar Rogueplan’s collection, the principal features of which are curiously enough warming pans. This is an extraordinary hobby, but there are speci- mens of the fabrication of this most superfluous piece of housewifesy from every century. Some are engraved with crests, initials, mottocs, hiero- glyphics and other ornaments. — , The second collection is infinitely precious, and tho sale thereof will not take place before next winter. It comprises coins and medals gathered together by the Marquis de Moustier when Am- bassador and Minister of the Foreign Office. This unique collection has constantly been enriched by gifts from foreign princes aud consuls. WORK.

Mrs, Hernandez and Mra, Villaverda preslded, and the latter, in a short end appropriate speech in Spanish, H preseuted the sword to the General. She said:—"We, the exiie Cubans, do aot congre- gate bere to lay the laurel wreath of victory on the lucky leader's prow. Valaly would patriotism shorten that glorious moment, but a great many bioody battles, a good deal of noble biood, a world. of sacrifices off effort separate us from tt.

But that 1s not now the potnt, We come here to- gether to express openly how mach we bs mor the service done to our couutry by General Quesada in one year of continuous fighting against the feroe cious Spaniards, We want to en e him to new deeds of valor and patriotism, aud with thi token of our admiration and appreciation for hi many public virtues we Want to give him beforehand an idea of how much he has to expect. from a grateful people when he shill have achieved the ireedom of Cuba, & work he has commeuced with so much energy and enthusiasm.

THE COLORED MURDER AT ATLANTA. {From the Atlanty True Georgian, July 26.) Yesterday morning, a few moments b re ton o’cjock, Moses H. wah (colored), messenger of the Honse of Representat{ves, shot and killed Malcolun Claiborne (colored), inember of the House from Burke county. The shooting took place in the Capl- tol, near the head of the stairway leading to the Senate Chamber from Marietia street. It 1s sald that the ciMiculty between the parties arose from words of coudemnumion used by Claiborne against Bentley, for his action tn causing the arrest of Sena- tor Wallace (colored), for the alleged use of oppro- brious words to Bentley. Bentley fired three shots, two misyng and the other passing through Clatborne’s | reast near the heart, from which wound death ensued in about fifteen minutes. Thedyiug man was carried across the street to the office of Dr. Westmoreland, where he expired, A large crowd asyembled and considerable excite- Ment prevailed forsome,time. A coroner's jury wag summoned forthwitn, who rendered the following verdict: — “That the deceased, Malcolm Claiborne, came to hig death by a pistol snot wound, said shot being fired from a pistol in the hands of Mgses Beutiey.”’ Bentley waa lunmediaey alresied, and ie now | lodged in Jail,
