Mr. James Walker recently completed the 
great historical painting of our civil war. It. is 
a portrayal of the Battle of Gettysburg, the 
particular scene delineated being the Repulse of 
Longstrekt, which occurred July 2d. A vast 
amount of work lias been expended upon it. 
Col. John B. Bach elder, who was its designer, 
visited the battle-field immediately after the 
conflict, and set about collecting data. With 
untiring pains he learned the positions of troops 
on both sides, and procured accurate sketches 
of the field topographically, Mr. Walker also 
visited Gettysburg, and familiarized himself 
perfectly with the grounds made ever memora¬ 
ble. The result is a picture so correct In general 
features and in its details as to call forth un¬ 
qualified endorsement from the various distin¬ 
guished generals there engaged. It la not a bat¬ 
tle-piece of the common order, -depicting one 
strlkiug situation with tolerable faithfulness, 
and depending on the Imagination for accesso¬ 
ries. While two spirited groups are portrayed 
in the foreground,—General Aumlstead of the I 
Confederate forces surrendering his watch and 
spurs to Captain Binoham, near the center, and 
Gen. Meade, with one or two of bis staff, to the 
right,—the surrounding country la accurately 
mapped out, with ail its landinurksnow histori¬ 
cal, and the disposition of troops, In action and 
reserve, studlously eorreot. The canvas is seven 
and a-half by twenty feet, and shows careful, 
patient work in ail its parts. The portraits in 
the foreground are very life-like, and the dis¬ 
tance effects are remarkably tine. The picture 
is intended for exhibition in the different cities, 
and will be put before the public in due time In 
the form of a steel engraving. 
Some line canvases are shown at Paillard's 
International Art Gallery, on Broadway, the 
most, remarkable of which arc a Harvest Scene 
by In ness, of surpassing breadth, and a qufet 
tenderness of tone very charming, and an An¬ 
dromeda by a foreign artist whoso name we do 
not recall, which is exquisite in drawing and 
color, and tho grace of which is exceedingly 
rare and winning. 
It is stated, on what is pronounced good au¬ 
thority, that Gustave Dork is coming to the 
United States in a row weeks, to make an art 
tour, returning in the autumn.

x uncreu in jour premiums to parlies tvuo should raise 
the four largest quantities of “ Early Rose” Potatoes, (in 1869,) from one peck of seed. 
This amount was divided as follows: — For 1 xt or largest yield, $200 ; 2d, $150 ; 3d, 
$100; 4th, $50. It was required that each competitor should send nn a full report 
ol the mode of cutting seed, planting, manuring, cultivation, &e. At the urgent request 
of a large number of my customers, I have published in this hook the most worthy 
of these reports, and added Engravings ami Descriptions of new varieties , and a num¬ 
ber of choice extracts from the Agricultural Press in relation to Potato Growing. I also 
made arrangements with Henry Ward Beecher to write the Essay on The Potato 
Mania which appears in its pages, and which alone is worth several times the cost 
ot the book. Liberal inducements offered to Agents, Send for wholesale price.. Sent to 
any address, postage paid, on receipt of
