At Lamb's may be seen a new picture of the Great Falls of the Potomac. whk-h tle*en ?? attention. It to not only the best work we hav seen by the art'st who painted it, (M?. Mac Leod,) but we think we may say it to also thf beet picture of the Falls that has yet hee; pointed. This, in one sens*, to not saying much for we are bound to arid that up tot hi* time w. have seen little that was either creditable to th. artist or satisfactory to the observer in any ? the efforts to transfer to canvas the wildnos and grandeur et this particular scene. But w* do not make the remark ia the limited sense o coaiparUwn. The picture to reaWy good. is natter what has gone before, or what may cam alter; and this in spite of vory serious difflcul tics in the way of the artist. The subject though picturesque in Itself and in the higlie* degree Interesting to the sight-sear, is yet s hard and unpromising one to paint; and. takin,. into account the chances against esthetic sue cess, it may be said to be hardly worth the wort of reproducing it. Not that the task should ?<tt b? undertaken, by any maeaa. It needs, in deed, that they should be |Hin this form, with the advantages of size and color, li> order that the public may be able to appreciate the Wonderful attractions of the spot,?attri tion*, we may add, which would be far mon familiar to tourists if situated within fifty or a hundred milesot Montreal or Quebec than thev now axe, though within easy two hours* drive oi the national capital. But the results, so far a* artistic effects go, are so disproportion*^ to th amount ot labor to be performed a.? to well nigh deter most artists from undertaking the task unless their love tor the picture*)ue be couple*i also with a desire that a spot which ha* ?o main charms for them ?hould be better known to the public. And something of this spirit, we *a? pect, has inspired Mr. MacLeod in his difllcul' labors. But, whatever the Inspiration, tin effort is a success. The picture gives not onlv a lair portrait but also much of tuts spirit of the place. The view is a general one, taken from a high point on the Virginia side of the river, lookup northward. The time chosen to evening tti early autumn, when the action of the tirst t'r.ists on the foliage of tne softer woods gives richness and variety to the sombre evergreen tones th t' prevail in that locality. The atmosphere is re markably clear and pure, the perspective is good, and the distances arc rendered with tint effect. The texture and co'or of the rocks, a well as their peculiar formation, are reproduce" w ith rare fidelity, as are also the action and tints of the rushing and eddying waters. Over all tails the sott lient ot the setting sun, wins, parting lays illuminate with a richer color t h* high rocks and distant hill tops, giving a plea sanl feeling of repose U> a scene that to in al, other respects- the very essence of r;i^gednes> and . .irbtile nee. Were we disposed to criticise where therein -o much to commend, we should sav that th< canvas is too laige, and that the effect Of' the picture woald l>e heightened by taking from four to live Inches from both the top and bot tom. The height of sky above and the exten sion of rocks and water in the immediate fore ground add nothing to its force, and rather serve to distract from the motlva and action 01 the picture, upon which t'.e attention of th obeervcr s* ould be concentrated. Beside, th. shape Of the canvas, which is rather awkward and unusual, would, in our opinion, be im proved by the change proposed. ? Ulke is hard at work on his series of por traits of Secretaries for the War Department, finding time the while to till occasional private orders, ills portrait ot Gen. Ra wlins, just com pleted, to remarkably life-like, considering that the artist wu without the advantage of having se? n his suoject in life, and it only need* a I'ttle deeper black in the hair and beard to ?< perfect. The likeness of Judge Holt, now wel under way, promises to be good, as does al- > the beginning of that of Senator Cameron which to just laid in. ? Speaking of portraits reminds uatosay a word of the very flue likenesses, in crayon, turned out by that talented young artist, Mr. Rudolph Keichmann. In several respects thest have advantages over portraits in oil. They are cheaper for one thing, and the color doe notcnangeor grow dim, for another. Theu. again, in thehandsof au artist like Ueichmtnt; there is opportunity for freedom of action aiuI grace of style that is not afforded in the use o< colors, exawpt to thorouga misters of that brai.cn of art; and thorough masters in tlia; line are not over plenty now-a-daya. Mi Rcichmanu's studio is well worth a visit, aim when he gets Into iiis handsome new quarters In Vernon Row, we have no doubt It will be ccme a place of re: ort to those who have an eye for crcditable productions in art, whether they go in the capacity of patrons or otherwise. ? Mr. Witt, an artist lately arrived here from Ohio, has opened a studio on Kith street, oppo site the Congregational church, where lie ha on view a few pictures which show him to be a painter of very decided merit, both in land scape and portraits, lie has a large view oi the upper Ohio that Is particularly tine, ami also a clever marine. His portraits are east and delicate iu treatment and pure and trans parent in color, and, we should judge, taithfu as likenesses. But upon the latter point w. cannot speak to confidently, since those we saw are of strangers. Mr. Witt is, however, at work ?on some Washington face*, and when they ar. finished we shall be able to tell better as to th< lidelity with which he reproduces the feature and expression of his sitters. ? The sale of pictures by local artists at Latimer & deary's Monday and Tuesday evenings, was quite largely attended, but the bidding was not as spirited and the prices brought not as high as most persons expect ed. Indeed, with few exceptions, the pieces offered failed to bring anything near studio prices, and it is doubtful if the artists wit; care to repeat the experiment next year. \V trust, however, they will not be discouraged Au annual sale causes pictures to be talked about and notes to be compared, and the*<. things exert an imperceptible but nevertheL-n. ini|>ortant influence throughout the whole year and thus an interest in art to created aud tnuci. ood done, aside from the mere question o. ollars and cents for the time being. It wu apparent, from the competition and the prices brought, that Weyl was the favorite of tin evening. His "Shady Nook on Rock Creek.* which seemed to be by common consent re garded as the gem of the collection, started at ninety dollars, and rapidly run up to 9125, at which figure it was taken by Mr. ?. B. French. His " Lost River Vail, y," a larger and more Important if less ponplar picture than the other, went to Mr. C. S. Noyes at $92.90; and his "Hanging Rock," also a characteristic and rxl picture, was knocked down at 970 to Mr. Anglam. Other pictures by the same artist brought comparatively fair prioes, as did also several by Poole and Turner. TBXY FOLLOW A PACK TBAIV I WTO CA HT. A pack train, under esoort of Lieut. Howe and twenty men, was attacked near the Modoc lava beds on Saturday last, about It o'clock a. m. Previous to that hour, as an escort from Mason's earn# was coming to MM Ik, they were j attacked at the head or Long Cave. Lieut. Leary's men sought shelter behind the rocks. ; and drove the Modoc* back. When Lieut. Howe's train came near them the Modocs at tacked It, but wore again driven back. Lieut.
