’ FINE ARTS. o~ Mr. George L.

Suppose pe-painting, e such, had existed_among the Greeks, o ut io the art bad traveled over the conutry, fmumediately after of the Persiane under Xerxes, and bad taken sccurute viows of every place inade memorable by victory or defeat, o that every dotail of the event could be followed by the reader as if Le were on the spot and saw hill and valley, plain und pnss with Lis bodily eye: suppose that thls hud been done, an that the plo- tures had come down to us, is there any one so duil and cold of boart who would not fecl & personal indebtedness to the painter ? Not loas than Marathos to the Greek, is Gettysburg to us, and the Persian invasion is as play compared with the tremendons issues of our war with the South, We are glad to know that the Amerioan of the future, whether e writes the history of this war or reads it, will not suffer for lack of pictured record of per- sons and places, sy more than for want of written memoranda. Never was a great warso clos by pen and pencil and the resnlt is, that there is searce an ineident, of greater or less importance, which cannot be found winntely deseribed i some printed book, orin the letter of some newspaper corre spoudent, or whose locality is ot set down in literal truthful- ness in one of those photographs which have connected the name of Brady indissolubly with the history of the war. Not less honorably and not less indisselubly ossociated with the events of that terrible four years, wil be the name of Mr. Frankenstein. Ho has undertaken a labor which would have duunted nuny; very few could have been found e # to themseives, He resolved to visit every famons battle-field of the recent war, and make a sketeh of the locality on the spot. This he has accomplished, and the pictures are to bo pablished m_ehromo-lithography, we believe, by Richardson & Co. of this oity Mr. Frankcustein has been kind enongh to skow us the more mportant of (hese pictures, and to explain them 1o us, point by polnt. and we have been us wnch surprised by the minuteness of his information, the exactness of bis memory, and the clear- ness with which he comprehends the movements of the separate battles, as by the simple trathfulness of the pictures themselves: the delioaay of detail, and the awount of importast fact which they are made o contain The paintings that illustrate the battle of Gettyshurg were tho most interesting 10 us of the whole series, but bis only for the reason that the struggle itself was of such vast importance. For, the others become interesting in t the story brings us to them, and the range that is covered by the whole series is 0 wido that hardly a mem point is left undeseribed. The plotures themselvos are excellent, and thongh nothing has been wacrifioed to piotorial effect, yet in the majority of cascs they are pleasant to look at, merely as studies of American scenery. ‘The artist's aim was single, h(‘!’«\l‘ Le had no object but to put down every poiut in the scomey that 0o icerned the partion- lar buttle, and to make p e until the whole actiou wes described from be The skirmishing, magenvering, watehing and w down so aloarly that we should think militery men would wel- come the work with heartiést comméndation. Tt must give them iutonse satislaction to see such faithful and complete yecord of the history of events with which they have been so fntimatelr concerned. Again, we thank Mr, Fraokenstein, and venture 10 wssare Lim, betorebiand, of suceess iu winning publio thauks. Soch work sbould not be overlooked, and will not be. Everybody will welcome it. Every Am: rested in the war, and which of us ix not, will covet t cure et loast the picturcs of certain baiil the artist will be counted among the most worthy of Lave contributed to sceure & truhfal record of thie yTeatest war n history. INDIAN AFFAIRS. —— ANNUAL REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER. The Office of Indian Affairs is connected with the Do ment of the Interior, and ihe task of the Commissioner will not be regarded an casy one, if it is taken into consigera- tion that tio about 300,000 Indians whose munagement be has to direct ** are scattered over a continent, and divided into mare than 200 tribes, in charge of 14 superintendents and some 70 agents, whose frequent reports and quarterly sccounts are to e examived and adjusted; that 5o general rules can be adopted for the guidance of those officers, for the reason that the people under their clinrge are so didferent in habits. enstoms. manners, and organization, varying from the civilized und educated Cher- okee and Choctaw to the miserable lizard-eaters of Arizona; snd that this office is called upon to protect the Iudian, whether ander treaty stipulations or ronming at will over his ¥ild hupt. ing-grounds, from abuse by wnscrupulons whites, whilo at the sume time it must concede every ressonable priviiege to the spirit of entorprise and adventure which is pouring its haidy lation nto the Western country.” “I'he first and chief place among ile events of the year re. ferred to in the report (shiogether the second of the Office of Indian Affairs) is occupied by the Indian treaties which were ratitied in 1866, and wert inio effect. Among the most important of those treatics were thosa con- oluded with the Choctaws aud Chickasaws, which, when its wvarious provisions are brongt into full uperation. will establish the coufederated tribes upon & busis of cnduring prosperity. 1t contains risions for the abolition of Sluvery and the estab- lishment of a Territorial Government. with the Superin nt an Governor, the Territory being named * Oklaboma," and a elause is added, looking to'the establishment of an Upper Hovre to consist of one mem! ‘Similar are the trea- ties ooneluded with the Crecks and Cherokees. Both these {ribes wore slaveholders, and during tke war divided as regards Joyalty to the Government. ‘The treacies secure emancipation A the restoration of peace and harmony betwees the Opposing factions. “The tract of 800,000 acres in Kansas, known as the neutral lands, is coded to the Governmen: in trust, to be surveyed aud sold for the benefit of the Indinss, the proceeds o be invested for them in the proportion of 3 per cent for educstion, 1o per cent for an orphan But this tract may be sold inone body for cash, at §1 per 3 the intention of the langusge referring to & sale for cash, well understood by both pocties to the treaty, being to exclade the reoeipt of & large ameant of depreciated Cherokee scrip in \ymebt for these lauds; be experieiice of the depastment as to oo Tooipt of scrip rejresenting Indian indebtedacss in pay- fand, and % per cent for the national furd. | meat foe: "as 1n th case of the Sacs and Foxes, Kuws and Okber tribes, being wfavorable.

'No-erious bostilities have oocurred during the year between the ndians and whites, although numerous cases of depreda- tis by members of tribes not herotofore trieited with, or cas- - by them upo froutier settlements or emigrant traina, Y occurred as usnal.

Bo- nn\::ltbe Bocks Mountains and thie Misslssipp! peace has been the rule. Some tribes have remained, and committed depredations upon ‘white seftiers; but, on the whole, these cases have been ex: jonal.

Judge Smallcy #ald this point was important and had often Dbeen discussed, but he believed Liad never been decided in the S. Supreme Court.

The subjnct was treated v 't marked sl ity, and ws illustrated by a variety of viows as i portant as 'y were original. The Professor said , That the cientifio method of tnquiry s inadeqnate, and inap- plicable to the higher stady of man, is & widely prevalent notion, and one which seems, to a great extent, to bo shared alike by the ignorant and the ednested. Holding the crude idea that scienco pertaing only to the material world, they dtnonusn all atten pts to make human pature o sulject of strict scentitic ine uiry, 48 an intrislon into an o sphere. Maintatnin that 1nan’s position is supreme and excoptional, they insist thal he is only to be comprehended, if at all, fa some partial, peculinr and transcendental way, In entire consistence with this by. ractice; for those Who, by eir function as teachers, proachers and lawgivers, profess to man which best qualifies for fllmilnr bim in ell relations, are, as a class, ounlululll{ noraut of scl- ence. Thero are some, however, and_happily their number increastug, who holl that this {des is profoundly erroneous ; that the very term * human nature” indicutes man's place in that universal order which it is the proper offlce of ecience to explore; and they accordingly maintain that it is only as * tho sorvant aud intepreter of uature” that he can rise to anything Jike n srue understanding of himself. man, which tradition has trans- is, at the outset, to cleave him asander, and substitute the ides of two beings for the real- ity of one. 1aving thus introduced the notion of his double Itarecmiind and body as separats, independent existences— there grew up @ series of moral contrasts between the dis- Jolntod products. The mind was ranked as the higher, or epir- Ttnal nature ; the body us the lower, or waterial nataro. The mind was said to be pure, aspiring, immaterial; the body gross, corrupt. and perishable ; aud thus the feelings becamo enlisted fowidon the breach nnd perpetuate tho witagoutsm. Having disrupted Lis nature into two aliea entities, and songht ali terms of applause o celebrate the one, while exhoasting the vocabu- lury of reproach upon the other, the fragments were given over 10 {170 partios—tho body, to the doctors of medicine, und th spirit to the doctors of philosophy, who have agreed in but jon should be eternal, and that neither r. My purpose, on the present occasion, 18 to show that the doe- trige which has rm\'n jed in the past, and still predominaies, is doomed to complete inversion ; that what was solong neglectod ouut, is. in reality, the first and fandamontal thing ered ; that, In short, the practical stody of mind and character oan only be pursued in and through the eorporeal system: and I ask your attention, in the fint placo, to soae facts concerning the working of tie human orgauism, by which this view is sustained, and for which we are indebted t science. A basty piance ut the several steps by which it has been reacked will help to an naderstanding of the prescnt state of kuowledge upon ‘e snbjeot. “The lectavar then rapidly reviewed the progress of modern research futo the working of the mutual mechanism of man First: The establishment of tie brain ss tle organ of thou Second : The chemienl clucidation of organic matter, and b laws of waste and repair.
