Little of any especial interest has occurred in the ari world during the sununer, if we may except the dismay caused by the erection of tne melancholy bronze aspersion on the memory of the ‘ute la- mented” Presiient by a grateful, though it would seem not an altogether judicious or discriminating pablic; which work of art might awaken remorse in the heart of the most vindictive of that excellent man’s foes. It will certainly do much to modify that noble utmbition of American youth to become Presi- dent, aud Oue of the several Mathers of their Coun- try, to feel that such a distinction might tavolve the mrenviable notoriety of the efigy ou Union square. Much as we need works of art to embelish our streets and public squares, a sacrifice like this of taste and beaary 1s too great to be justificd even by the tardy gratitude of a loving people. Quite few of the painters have as yet permanently returned to their city homes, preferring to linger ali the fippant and fmvolous herd of pleasure seekers have scrainvled back to the inspiriting routine of fashtonable life. We have pronuse of some goud work, and several paintings from the hands of some of our prominent painters are shortly to be exhibited, THR GALLERIES, Several of the best known of these have either al- ready received, orare about to receive, a new supply of paintings witch will soon he placed on exhibition, ‘There is promise of a fair proportion of works of merit and interest. PHOTOGRAPUS. No branch of ari, perliaps, hae made more aston- dshing and satisfactory advance within the past few years than photography. It 1s but a short time since even the best of our photographers produced work which now we cannot regard without @ smile— flat, colorless pictures, ghastly and like anything but life—the bare prospect of having which taken was universally regarded as an ingenious mode of tor- ture, and to which, unsatisfactory alike to victim and operator, one only became at all reconciled alter a slow and painful course of humiliation on one’s own part and persuaston on that of the operator. ‘Thanks to the enterprise and Cuergy of several of our leading photograph has taken place and 1s still going on, till we scarcely know what new developments to look for in this branch of art. The old process ana appliances which, in thelr tedious and cowplicated efforts to produce a pleasant and matural expression, inevit- ably resulted in one wonderfully unnatural and un- pleasant, and invariably represented madmen or idiots, have been replaced by others so simple and rapid that one’s patience is uol exhausted, and the expression 1s caught without one’s knowlag it.

His wife and two children | are known to haye perished. A young lady of the family ching toa tree forty-elght hours, but was washed away and drowned.

On the Manassas Railroad the bridges across the North and South Shenandoa h rivers are gone. No information has been received from bey Strasburg. Many lives are known to have been lost. The Baltumore and Ohio Railroad, above Har- per’s Ferry, lias been swept away. Scottsvilie, in Albemarle county, has been inundated, and the destruction of property very great.

Contrary to all expectations, however, the mill, with its three sur- fevers, survived through the black darkness of the night and the terride flood, and this morning tiey were rescued in an almost famished condition, On the Chesterfield site of the river several tene- ments were ruthlessly swept of with their entire furniture, the inmates barely escaping with tieir lives, Inone instance a well-to-do negro, named Landrum Nelson, had just erected a handsome resi dence and furnished it in a style magnificent for one of his race.

As the flood rose this terror {nereased, and in the negro localities scenes at once Indicrous and suggestive were witnessed, During the night a small schooner that drifted up Shockoe Creek with a light near its masthead, was discovered by a terror-stricken darkey, who hatled itas the ark, and, wading towards it, craved admis- sion, His supplication was answered by an oath from the enraged skipper, followed by the exclamation from a sailor, “Go to hell, you d——n black,” &¢.; and the poor deluded uegro retired, evidently be- iieving his end was near, With the falling of the river apprehension of fur- | ther danger ts rapidly dispelied, and sufferers, as | well as the community, are beginning to estimate their losses and provide for future emergencies.
