 Untouched by the finger of blighting time,

 hi:' brush. Itie valleys .of these noble rivers now sustain a 
 vast number of our race, and the time is rapidly hastening 
 on when this portion of our heritage will rivui in population 
 the old world. And wlial is belter, the artist has selected the 
 most interesting picturesque parts of these magnificent vallies 
 — parts asssociated wiih some of the most thrilling events of 
 our history. And what is still better, he has copied nature in 
 all her glorious charms, with a truthfulness and skill that nev- 
 er has been beaten by any of his predecessors in panoramic 
 productions. 
 
 The artist, in this work, has not only excelled in coloring 
 and artistic finish, but he has also given a clear and distinct 
 view of every object whicli his pencil has touched, and pre- 
 sented to the eye as they now really exist on the banks of the 
 glorious streams, whether seen in the glare uf the noonday 
 sun or in the mild beams of the Queen of night. If his gehius 
 s:ikl to' his pencil, "Give nie a splendid church, handsome 
 • msnsioti house, noble vessels, the beautifnl' water, the*green

 ^- these objects come out upon canvas in art iheir natural beauty 
 under talisnianic touch. The truth is, the artist has given us 
 , In this.woik oSjccts just as they are i o\v; seen uhdoi the most 
 ■' favorable circuiifftances. The beautil'ul cities !4nd villages are 
 plain nnd distinct to the observer as ^hey uSretO'the artist 
 wh^n he sketched them. The buildings and streets are not 
 run into a confus<^ mass, 'bewildering ihu mind and troubling 
 the eye to distinguish one from tlie other, bwt all are distinctly 
 visible. We might go on and fill .several sheets with descrip- 
 tions of this beautil'ul Panorama, but our rei'ders will go and 
 seejbr themselves. Comparisons we know are invidious, but 
 triuVil;oiapels us to say, that this v.ork excels all others of 
 similar kind ever exhibited in our city. The artist is entitled 
 to, and will receive u good rewaid for this production of his 
 genius and artistic skill from an appreciating community. May 
 all such enterprises have their due meed of patronage and 
 
 praise. • 
 
 A New Panorama. — This picture presents views of the 
 diversified scenery of twelve diiiereiit slates, in a distance of 
 twenty three hundred miles. It would not do to make com- 
 parisons biHween it and the other popular works of the same 
 kind that have been exliiliited in Boston, but it will be no in- 
 justice to other artists to say that this is equal in iiieiit to eith- 
 er of them. Nor can we, after once seeing it, only, point out 
 what particular p^irl of it is the best. It is pronounced to be 
 accurate, as a picture of the places intended to be portrayed, 
 by those acquuinttd with the localities, and it will be an ex- 
 cellent study for persons who have never visited the Western 
 and Southern part of our country, as well as interesting to 
 those who wish to revive former recollections. To scholars 
 in geography it will be of use, and to all itwiM aflbrda profit- 
 able and pleasant two hours' amusement. — Boston Courier, 
 
 Nov. 4th, 1S4S. 
 
 "Of all the exhibitions in the city at present, none appear 
 to be more popular than the inmionse Panorama of the Missis- 
 sippi and Ohio rivers, at Ainory Hall Washington street- it is 
 indeed a work of rare merit. Parents and teachers will do 
 well to take their children and pupils to witness this painting, 
 not only as a source of ent-ertainnient but of instruction also." 
 •^ ' , 
 
 We dropped in to see the Panorama at Ainory Hall, on 
 
 [i Wednesday evening, and found the place well filled with a 
 
 11 goodly company. \V'ilh the Panorama we were niucli pleased] 
 
 || It is painted in a bold and feUuctive manner; and while portray 
 
 ij ing towns, cities, bluffs, natural curiosities, the various cral"t 
 
 .^1 that enliven the great rivers of the west, and the population 
 
 L' of its borders, in vivid and distinct colors, many of the points 
 
 ji. of interest are invested with a peculiar cIkuui by the introduc- 
 
 |i tion of highly artistic efTiCts. 
 
 jil Among the incidents happily ii!trodueed,'is the burning of 
 
 :; the \*'hite Rose Steamer, olV Cairo, the root's and spires of 
 
 V svhich are illuminated by the blaze — and the wreck of the 
 |j Prairie Bird, snagged in a nanow channel,. Perhaps the most 
 |! Ii'-'autiful picture in the Panorama, is the moonli.ght view of

 For the youth cf our coina.unity, who are now aLuuiring 
 their education in our public schools, this is proliably the 
 ii'iost rational and iustnielive entertainment that oould po.ssi- 
 bly be devised, and parents, we think, would do well to visit 
 it, not more flir their own gratilicalioii, than for the purpose 
 cf civing their children the benefit of one truly instructive 
 ft'ufrational amusement now off. red them, aini<l the innu- 
 merable pernicious and corrupting public shows witii which 
 it is our misfortune from time to time to be visited Wo 
 phould be glad to give at this time, a particular description of 
 ills irreat "panorama, but lime and space will not allow it. 
 Audit is, moreover, scarcely called for, as the lecture during 
 t'.ie movement of the paintini:, cleaily and fully exjilains 
 I very part of it, and conveys an amount of geographical ami, 
 i.isto"rical infurmation which the young pupil would not be 
 likely to ac(pure in weeks of study. Stretching as it doe.s 
 over an extent of fifteen degrees of latitude, it conducts the 
 mectators from a region of "frosts to a region of perpetual 
 rnmuvr, from the hemlock and fir trees of the iinrtherii 
 Allefhauics, to the orange groves of the sunny south, a dis- 
 lance of more than twenty three hundred miles. 
 
 The Panorama of the Ohio and Msssissippi River.'= is, in my 
 i idgincut a production of great merit, and entitled to univer 
 Bil |vitrouao-e. Kverv thing presented to the eye appears not 
 as a mere picture, but as the reality itself The magnificent 
 livers seem in actual flow, and it is almost impossible not to 
 iuiaVinc yourself on the very spot of the startling and roman- 
 tic Icenery upon wdiioh you are gazing with wonder and 
 admiration Th" ])aiuting is an achievemont of faithfn! 
 i'ldustirv and genius Even individual objects are depicted 
 with siii'prising accuracy. As an instance, I may remark, 
 that one of my pupils, from the state of Ohio, instantly re- 
 ro^nized Ifn father's dwelling, and could scarcely rel'raiii 
 f-om shouting with delight. Parents and teachers will do 
 ■ell to take tlicir children and pupils to visit the Paintinir, 
 *^ot only as a source of enterlamment, but of instriintioa

 The Panorama of Mississippi and Ohio Rivers, now on ex- 
 hibition at Amory Hall, is indeed one of the most beautiful 
 and interesting landscape picture* ever presented to the ciii- 
 zens of Dostnii. The artits has truly evinced a t'ood share of 
 moral courage in ofTering the work of his pencil to liostoniiins, 
 after 80 inan'y and so good simil.ir productions of this noble

 the artists' genius may well inspire him with eonfidenci!. for

 is the age of refinement, of progre.-s, of great results in litera-

 and particularly with regard to tiie latter item in the social en- 
 joyments of the present era do we find this manifest in th-j 
 number and beauty of the panoramic scenes with which oiu- 
 community has been favored. A new star in tlij.^ already 
 brilliant coiistollation of skill and genius has just dawned upon 
 us in th'- presentation of the Painting of .Mississippi and Ohio 
 IJivers, which is now (Ui i.>xliibitioii at Amory Hall. It is pre- 
 J eminently a work of rare excellence, whether considered in 
 reference o its correctness to nature or admirablo artistical

 of its ('.etails, and causes the beholder to revel in an uTeeable 
 atmosphere of living romance and matchless beauty." It will

 Mr LiNDSEY — 1/^)3 "J fortunate the other evening, at the

 half around the world foi the sight. I have seldom found my.

 Cut, Mr Editor, w-liilo Icoking last evening at the Panorama 
 of the Mississippi and Oh o rivers, was amazed that art could 
 bring into a hall in our city those rivers, their hanks, cities 
 trees, wood yards, plantations, and various boats, and show' 
 the delighted spectator th(;se wonders of nature and art in two 
 short hours. 
 
 As 1 have passed up and down those rivers retieatedly { 
 can aa.-ure the community that they ought to avail themselves 
 of the opportunity to see those beauties of our country, when 
 they can do it for twenty fi\e cents, without dang(!r of bciuir 
 snagged, blown up, or consumed on a butniiig boat. The 
 perfection of New Orleans is more than a compensation for the 
 udmitlance fee. fj_
