ree Picture Empre Engculc i Detroit has very few places of public resort either for the amusement or the entertainment of her own citizens or of strangers visiting the cty And the few she has are on so small a scale and the interest of them so soon exhaust ed that any addition to the list of attractions should be publicly noted and welcomed One of the pleasantest places to pass a leisure hour or two coolly and quietly looking at beautiful things without cost is the free picture gallery of Messrs Godfrey Co They inike no pretensions to an artistic collection many of the pictures gathered there being owned by va rious individuals who have pleasure in exhibit ing them or take this method of offering them fors ile but among them are some rare and valuable gems of art It was from their rooms that seme of the finest paintings exhibited at our last State air were taken and among them every one who was so fortunate as to be there will remember the magnificent representation of the royal family of England on board the ship Resolute which was being presented to her Majesty by Lieutenant Harts tein This grand picture is still one of the chief attractions in their rooms Butjust now the greatest novelty is spl'en did full length portrait of the beautiful and accomplhed Eugenie EmpresAof rance This has cn'y recently been added to their col lection tut has already drawn crowds of visi tois and excited the highest admiration Those who have tiaveled in Europe and seen and con versed with the Empress pronounce this an excellent likeness of her Eugenie will be thirty seven years old on the 5th of this month She was married to Napoleon in 1851 and this portrait was taken in 1859 The figure is rather slight though quite tall standing full five feet and a half in the picture The face and features are small and will be called pretty rather than nobly beautiful but as she stands there in her white embroidered robes relieved by a dark rich background of crimscn drapery and an ample flowing train of green velvet bordered with gold one jeweled arm hanging in careless grace at her side the other partly raised over the imperial crown of rance with one delicate finger resting on the pedestal of a column near her the royal badge of purple and white at her waist her neck and bosom covered with pearls and the jeweled diadem pressing her brow she looks the Empress she is The surrounding diapery is remarkable for its wonderful depth and richness of tint and the manage ment of the folas and waves ot the voluminous fjrgCHjrtllVPt train witK Kitv entifi seems most masterly The more one looks at it the more convinced they become that it is the real material and not a representation they are looking at But no pen and ink description can convey to the mind a great idea of this mag nificent picture Everybody should see it And aside from the interest the subject inspires it will be remembered that it is the work of one of the most celebrated artists of the time ranz Xavier Winterhalter is a German artist vf high celebrity having been portrait painter to the former King of rance Louis Phillipe and aleo to the present Emperor and Empress and to the royal family of England This splendid picture ie for sale and on exhi bition free to all who wish to see it Messrs Godfrey Co have also just received from New York large sized colored lithographs of the same which are very beautiful They have been at much expense to fit up their hall in handsome style and furnish it with seats for the comfort of visitors Among other attrac tions in the room will be found a very fine collection of portraits of some of our own citi zens prominent among which is a life size one of General Cass by Highwood of Detroit There are also several very handsome cattle and landscape paintings copies of Rosa Bonheur and other eminent European artists There is the Madonna of Sanforratti a picture of devotional loveliness tender and dreamy and touching representation of St John leading the Virgin to his home after the awful scene of the crucifixion These and a variety of colored and plain steel engravings chromo lithographs and so forth go to make up what may be called one of the institutions of Detroit and one which all are freely invited to visit and to enjoy The proprietors are always ready to give their at tention to strangers to answer all questions and make suph

aboirt $3 a bushel onions to 15 per barrel A ration commuted at 10 cents per day admit of such expensive luxuries The sick in the hospitals in this city aredoing well The hospitals 1 think have im proved rapidly in condition as regards cleanli ness but if the men in the field could have Jresh vegetables we could dispense with half the surgeons halt tho hospitals and half the medi cines now

Louisville after replying to some inquiries about Michigan sol diers adds Willard Esq your State Agent call ed a few days since and put in our charge about 50 packages of stores We expect to forward

in timation ot it We immediately telegraphed the principal cities west and re ceived very prompt shipments of potatoes cnions pickles and we have already sent forward Dearly a thousand barrels of anti scor butics If we can keep this up for a few weeks (and we must do it) the health cf the men will be re established Already we learn from our agents in the field the beneficial effects upon tne health and spirits of the men of the vege tables first received Medicines are of no ac count the need of vegetables is imperative and we must make the necessary sacrifice to ob tain them To be nearly nine

upon the promptness with which it 13 supplied and although the medical officers are fully awake to its importance and receives from the Generals commanding every aid they can ask in the furtherance ot thia object yet very much depends upon the United States Sanitary Commission to secure a supply at once The time is precious the troops are now in cairp soon they may be called to move and in their present condition many who now ap pear to be well will break down and if wound ed slight wounds will be fatal 1 believe that a bushel of potatoes in this army at this time is worth a man Will you not call upon Cincinnati Cleveland Chicago Milwaukee Detroit and Louisville to gather in and send on these articles at once by the shipload The articles most needed are potatoes pickled onions (send them pickled as they soon grow and spoil now) pickles cf all kinds (especially cabbage) carrots parsnips and cider vinegar Tell tne working army at home that many of their loved ones are now so much in want of these articles that they are willing if they could be purchased to pay a shilling for a sin gle potato as there has not been an issue to most of the regiments in the field for the last eight

people in offering them aid It was eti dent that the speakers in aiding the Irish took particular care not to have it understood as an alms given to paupers they seemed to under stand the well known tact that a genuine Irish man would starve rather than solicit any thing in the shape of an his manhood seems to shrink from it as too humiliating Hence I could not but appreciate the good taste ofthe
