THE COLORED GENIUS AT ROME.

An English paper says:-
A correspondent writes from Rome: “An interesting novelty has sprung up among us, in the city where all our surroundings are of the olden time. Miss Edmonia Lewis, a lady of color, has taken a studio here, and works as a scupltress in one of the rooms formerly occupied by the great master Canova. She is the only lady of her race in the United States who has thus applied herself to the study and practice of sculptural art.”
Many of our readers will remember Miss Edmonia Lewis as a poor, unknown colored girl, a few years ago, and then a little later as giving evidence of the highest order of genius, by her models of the busts of distinguished men, which she wrought in Boston.
We saw last winter one of these, the exact likeness of Wendell Phillips. It is in the possession of Richard Greener, a colored student at Harvard College, and is highly prized as a work of art. Miss Lewis will soon take rank among the greatest masters of the art, who transfer life's glow to the pale marble.

Indiana Correspondence.
-----

INDIANAPOLIS, IND.
Sept. 12th, 1875.

MR. EDITOR, - Sir: I see the Indiana Conference has returned to our city. Dr. D.P. Seaton, and W.R. Revels and assigned A.H. Knight to their new mission created. We hope these three good souls will do much during the coming Conference year toward putting down the power of Satan. We were sorry to lose Bro. W.C. Trevan from our Conference, but our loss is conversably the gain of Illinois. We have however, in his stead that old true and tried Christian Elder D. Winslow who has united his strength again with the Indiana Conference. We all welcome him back again with warm hearts and open hands.
The schools have opened this Fall, under very favorable auspices. Prof. Bagby with his old corps, have determined to make the school of our city a success from present indications. He has associated with him this year, James D. Bagby a green sprout from Oberlin, this being his first year among us. Judging from the manner in which he is received and enters into his work, we bespeak for him a very bright future. There is to be a State Convention of the Colored men of Indiana held on the 21st of Sept., in this city to take into consideration the suits now pending against two ministers of our State for marrying white and colored in contravention to the laws of the State. The following gentlemen have been appointed by the Editorial Convention at Cincinnati for the State of Indiana to raise funds for the purpose of aiding the Centennial enterprise by encouraging Miss Edmonia Lewis in her art work. Said amount of money when raised to be forwarded to Bishop Payne, viz., Wm. H. Howard, John B. Lott, Alfred Carter, Alexander Moss, John Carter, Henry Stepp, W.J. Sismore, J.S. Hinton. I trust the above gentlemen will be successful in raising the necessary funds to aid in this matter for the colored men and women of America cannot afford to be silent in this great enterprise. We are looking with great anxiety the approaching close of the campaign in Ohio hoping that the cause of the great Republican party may be crowned with victory. I would regard it a national calamity to see the great States of Ohio and Pennsylvania fall into the hands of the Democratic party.
At the time of the great Centennial occasion July 4th, 1876, we must have a Republican Government representing the spirit of republican institutions as founded by the forefathers of our country, and embodied in the great declaration placed before the world on that day one hundred years before.

The Philadelphia Press of last Sunday contains the following concerning a few notable colored women of the country: Colored women have hardly had opportunity to do much that is sensational, but still there are several who are prominent among their own people and who have earned a solid reputation. The most prominent colored women in Washington in the best sense of the word are the teachers-such women as Miss M.B. Briggs, professor of English in Howard University, a most talented woman; or Josephine J. Turpin, of the same school, who is a frequent contributor to newspapers; or Lucy Moten, who is the efficient principal of a big training school; or Mary Nalle or Marian Shadd-all highly cultured women, respected and esteemed by those who know them. In the ranks of prominent colored women of Philadelphia there is the skillful woman physician, Dr. Caroline V. Anderson. She is the daughter of William Still, a wealthy colored merchant, and a regular graduate of the medical department of Howard University, and enjoys a big practice. Then there is Mrs. Fanny Jackson-Coppin, the lecturer, who devotes most of her time to the Institute for Colored Youth, and Mrs. Gertrude Mossell, who used to conduct the Women's Department on the New York Freeman, and who has written for The Philadelphia Press as well as for papers published in the interest of the negro race. Mrs. Mossell is also a member of the Women's National Press Association. Mrs. Frances E.W. Harper, the temperance lecturer and writer, has also been a resident of Philadelphia. Among colored women who have become more or less renowned in the arts and professions must be mentioned Mrs. Nellie Brown-Mitchell. She is a musician with a mechanical turn of mind. She has invented and patented two or three appliances now in common use by musical instructors. Equally well known in another branch of the fine arts is << Edmonia Lewis>> , the sculptor. She is an Afro-Indian, and was born in New York State, but now has her studio in Rome, where she has plenty of commissions and has done some fine work. “The Old Arrowmaker and his Daughter” is one of her best known productions and is owned in England. Ida B. Wells-“Iola”-whose suit for damages under the Mississippi laws for being forcibly thrust out of a passenger car in Memphis by three or four white men brought her before the public a few years ago, is probably the best known of colored women journalists, and Mrs. M.E. Lambert, of Detroit, is a poetess of genius. There are two colored women in the ranks of the law, Miss Florence Ray, of Brooklyn, and Mrs. M.S. Cary, of Washington. There is at least one colored minister, the Rev. Mrs. Freeman, of Providence, and there has been one woman at the head of a newspaper published in the interest of
Afro-Americans, Miss Carrie Bragg, who for sometime edited the Lancet at Petersburg, VA. Nor would it be difficult to pick out a dozen colored women in the country whose property in the aggregate might be expressed, “on information and belief,” by seven figures. In such a list would come the Gloucester, he rich boarding house keepers of Brooklyn; Miss Aman da Eubanks, of Rome, GA, whose white father left her $400,000; Mrs. Mary A. Wilson, a wealthy Florida woman; Mrs. Mary Pleasants of San Francisco, who holds something more than $35,000 in Government bonds, owns a ranch and has some city real estate; Mrs. James Thomas, of St. Louis who is worth something like $300,000 and whose barber shop, the “Lindell,” is the most luxurious in the country, and Mrs. Catharine Blake, who owns the Kenmore Hotel at Albany, which is reputed worth $150,00. Miss Drake, a wealthy young colored woman, of Nash, NC, has taken the prize for the best production of cotton at all the State fairs, and several other Afro-American women with ample incomes are doing solid industrial work.

NEGRO SCHOLARSHIP.

An article on this subject appears in the first number of The Church Review, a new periodical, edited by Dr. B.T. Tanner and published by the African Methodist Episcopal Church. The protectus informs us that the object aimed at by the new publication is to “give outlet” to Negro scholarship. AT present, we are told, this scholarship is practically hedged in. The standard magazines and reviews are in no need of it, and are in no humor to try experiments. Nothing remains but for the Negro to open a channel for himself. HE is evidently well disposed to undertake this task; and has ability to perform it is indicated by the vigor and taste displayed in the first issue of this Review Bishops Payne, Campbell and Dickerson contribute able essays on theological and ecclesiastical subjects; the Hon. B.K. Bruce, Register of the United States Treasury, furnishes an article on his office; Dr. Scarborough writes cleverly on the Greek of the New Testament, and a variety of subjects are treated with ability in the remaining seven papers. The editor's part is well performed.

But no paper in this Review will excite greater interest among readers of the Caucasian descent than the one entitled. “The Negro in Science, Art and Literature,” by D.A. Straker, L.L.B. The writer claims that in no stage of the world's history has the Negro been absent from among the contributors to these three great forces of civilization, and displays much learning in the endeavor to prove his claim. THE portion of the article, however which is of more immediate and practical interest is a cleverly compiled list of contemporary scholars of the colored race. There lives in Barbados, one of the West Indies, the Rev. Joseph N. Durant, a black astronomer, whose observations touching the recent comet called forth the commendations of the scientists of England. Mr. Durant's frequent astronomical articles are highly esteemed. “He is a linguist of large acquaintance, a theologian of eminent learning, and a scholar of general literature.” Next comes the name of the Rev. E.W. Blyden, D.D., whose ability and scholarship have won the admiration of men of letters everywhere. His Negro in Ancient History is referred to in merited terms of praise. In the United States we have Dr. Wm. Wells Brown, Dr. Alexander Crummell, James A. Trotter, Dr. B.T. Tanner, William Still, A.A. Whitman, R.T. Greener, George W. Williams, and several others, whose works have all taken respectable rank in their various liens, and some of whom have shown rare originally. The poems of Phillis Wheatley were not long ago reviewed in these columns. Professors Scarborough's First Book in Greek has “received the approval of the most distinguished professors of Harvard University.” Besides these authors, Prof. Manning and Miss << Edmonia Lewis>> are promising artists, and the Negro is not unrepresented in science and invention.
Before the colored race in America is opening the way to the highest intellectual development; and thus far there is little sign on their part of a disposition to lag. &#150 Christian Advocate.

-The Editor of the Church Union pays the following compliment to the one armed hero of the war. Howsoever glowing this tribute is to Gen. Howard, yet indeed may we say of him, “the half has not been told.” When the glory even of a Grant shall have died away, as will all military glory in the “good time coming,” the glory of Howard will stand imperishable.
-'Our poet Whittier, in 'HOWARD AT ATLANTA,' has already crowned one of our bravest generals with that tender glory which does not rise from victory in war, but from the love of God and good-will to men. Seldom it is (and also it is so seldom) that such a halo encircles the brow of a famous soldier. Is it because the cross and the sword are not natural allies in the same hands? Howard has made his name, which was already noble, nobler than ever, in the annals of Christian philanthropy. Goodness, which is the very essence of immortality, is the best preservative of fame. Here is an example for the young men of the Republic! Ah, when will we learn that the true chivalry, the knighthood of the Cross, respects manhood in whatever guise, believes in human progress, pities and helps the weak, sees in the suffering of whatever race, color, or clime, Him whose 'visage was so marred more than any man,' and hears always that heavenly voice, 'Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these, ye have done it unto Me?' The chivalry which rises over the helpless to break a lance for a fair lady or a breath of applause, is cowardly, as well as devilish at the bottom.”
-“The Christian Statesman” calls Pres. Grant to account for appointing Gen. Sickles minister to Spain. It says: The President cannot be ignorant of what Gen. Sickles was in both public and private life from early manhood till the breaking out of the rebellion. Whatever his services in behalf of the country since then might have been, and whatever his sacrifices and sufferings, the old records of those former years of crime and infamy can never be effaced.
-Prof. Wm. Howard Day is lecturing throughout Eastern Pennsylvania and Delaware. His address is 824 French Street, Wilmington, Del.
-A number of Hicksite Quakers have joined the Unitarian church in Wilmington, presided over by Rev. Fields Israel.
-Miss Sallie Daffin, after another year's arduous labor in the South, is at home on a visit.
-Hon. J. Willis Menard through the columns of his Radical Standard thus pronounces: We have entered the field with a quart bottle, well charged with good ink, and we intend to empty it in praises for those who do right, and in short words, for those who are tired of the negro and wish to sell him out.
-Gen. Howard is to read a paper before the National Convention of Educators next month in Trenton. Theme: “Education in the South, with reference to the colored population.”
-President Grant, Gen. Sherman, ex-Sec. Seward and Mrs. Lincoln have been the recipient of valuable presents in the shape of silver sets for the part each took in the abolition of slavery.
-Horace Greeley returns $20,800 income for 1868.
-John bull, a Kroo African, has just got a bronze medal from the British Humane Society, for saving two lives within six months.
-Jas. Simmons, corporal, and Robert, Roberts, private, members of Co. K., 25th Reg. U.S. Infantry, were lately arrested and lodged in jail because they wouldn't go on the deck of a Mississippi steamboat at the bidding of the rebel captain. Where is the Commanding General of the District?
-Miss << Edmonia Lewis>> , now on a short visit to the United States, has recently executed a colossal bust in plaster, of our great poet, Henry W. Longfellow. The model is at her studio in Rome, and is considered by all Americans, who have seen it, to be a fine specimen of art, as well as a most excellent and truthful likeness of her subject. She proposes to execute the bust in marble. It is one, which should find a place in Harvard University, and the friends of our renowned scholar will do well to obtain this work of art from Miss Lewis for that purpose. The cost of the bust in marble will be about seven hundred dollars. Professor Childs says: “I have seen the photograph of Miss Lewis's bust of Professor Longfellow, and should consider a copy in marble a very desirable acquisition for Harvard College. The college at present possesses no portrait, of any sort, of Professor Longfellow.”
A subscription has been started to raise the required sum. This is headed by some of our well-known citizens prominent in good works.
Our readers perhaps, need not be told that Miss Lewis is a colored artist, and has been studying for five years in Rome to perfect herself in art. She also proposes that if any society will raise a hundred dollars towards this object, and will send the sum to Fields, Osgood & Co., she will give them, for a present to their pastor, a copy of the bust in terra cotta.
-Senators Pinchback and Antoine, of the Louisiana Senate, and Alex Barbour, Harbor Master of N.O., all colored, were lately in Louisville, and made some telling speeches to the unreconstructed Kentuckians.
-Kamehameha V. of the Sandwich Islands, is a model farmer and a good judge of horses and sheep.
-George B. Vashon, colored, was admitted to practice as a lawyer in the Criminal Court at Washington on Saturday.
-O! Dr. Whedon, why did you tell our Southern Methodist brethren to drop the new phrase, “church stealing,” from their vocabulary, and in the very next sentence charge it upon them? That was cruel.
-Mrs. Jane Miller, a colored woman well known at Blandford, VT, as “Aunt Jeaney,” died on Sunday, aged ninety-one years. She was the oldest person in town, and had lived in the same neighborhood for seventy years. Her funeral was attended, at North Blandford, on Tuesday by a large concourse. She was a native of Norwich, Conn.
-Wm. Whipper, Esq., has been elected a Trustee of Howard University.
-Gen. Howard has called Dr. Torsey, of Kent. Hill, to the Presidency of Howard University at Washington.

-The Secretaries of the New England Conference very thoughtfully and wisely inserted the address of all our bishops. We copy it from their minutes, and advise our brethren to cut it out.
Bishop Jabez P. Campbell, D.D., 1810 Addison street, Philadelphia, PA, during Fall and Winter. Summer residence, Trenton, NJ; Bishops William P. Quinn, Richmond, Wayne county, Ind.; Daniel A. Payne, D.D., Xenia, Green county, O.; A.W. Wayman, 127 East Baltimore street, Baltimore, MD; James A. Shorter, Xenia, Green County, O; Thomas M.D. Ward, Box 1891, San Francisco, Cal.; John M. Brown, Baltimore, MD.
-Minister Basset has arrived safe at Port au Prince.
-In 1862 we recollect hearing the screams of a woman on Fourteenth street, near H, Washington city. It was the screams of a woman devoted to that slavery from which she hoped she was free. In 1869, from that same city comes the following dispatch:
“Mayor Bowen, in a message to the City Councils, tonight, recommends that white and colored children be educated under the same public school system and under the same roof. He can see no objection to this, as in other respects all distinction of race and color has been abolished. He also nominated Prof. Vashon (colored) to be one of the trustees of the white schools.”
How true the words:

“God moves in a mysterious way

His wonders to perform.”

-H.M. Turner has been honorably acquitted.
-Miss Sarah Remond, a gifted colored lady, who studied medicine with Dr. Appleton-the friend and physician of Theodore Parker, during the latter portion of his life at Rome and Florence, has been regularly admitted as a practitioner of midwifery in Florence, where she is now residing, with excellent prospects of employment and success. Her merit has won her friends on the continent of Europe, as it did in England. On going to Italy, she had excellent letters of introduction from Mazzini, among other. With this satisfactory passport, Dr. Appleton went with her to call on Garibaldi, and, though many others were waiting for an interview, they were instantly admitted. Miss Remond is not only well received everywhere in Florence, but she has friends among the very best people there.
-Charles Sterns, formerly of Boston, and now teacher and missionary among the freedmen in Georgia, is delivering addresses upon the moral and religious condition of the freedmen in Mass.
-Miss Louisa E. Brown, who has just received the first diploma ever given by the city at the Normal school to a colored girl, was formerly a member of the Wells school, and graduated there with the award of a silver medal.
-Mr. L.W. Eckard, late of Princeton, and under appointment as a foreign missionary to shantung province in the North of China, was ordained by the Second Presbytery of Philadelphia, on the 17th ult. The charge was given to Mr. Eckard by his father, the Rev. Dr. Eckard, formerly a missionary in Ceylon, now a Professor in Lafayette College.
-Miss << Edmonia Lewis>> , while pursuing her studies of art in Rome, has made a colossal bust of the poet Longfellow. A photograph of this work has been shown to many of Mr. Longfellow's personal friends, and has aroused such admiration that they are making strong efforts to have it reproduced in marble, and presented to Harvard University. Prof. Child is taking a leading part in this laudable movement. Subscription books are open at Fields, Osgood and Co's, Boston.
-Prof. Cardozo is thus kindly spoken of by the North Carolinian of Elizabeth City, NC.
-“Prof. T.W. Cardozo has been conducting a School here under the auspices of the New York Freedmen's Union Commission. The pupils have numbered about 124, and the school has been a remarkable success. The first term closed on the 20th ult. The Professor is now on a trip North, but expects to return and open again on the first of October. He is a gentleman of character, education, and as a Teacher has few superiors.”
-Miss Sarah Iredell, principal of Intermediate Department, Island School Washington, DC, is a graduate of the High School, and said to possess rare abilities as a teacher.
-Rev. James Lynch, presiding elder of the Jackson District Mississippi Conference M.E. Church, has been appointed by General Howard, Superintendent of Education for the Freedmen's Bureau in Mississippi.
-George F. Alberti, the notorious slave catcher of the olden days, has gone to his rest or unrest, we don't know which.
-The Rev. Miss Olympia Brown, of Massachusetts, has accepted a call from the Universalist church at Bridgeport, Conn., and enters upon her duties next month.
EMANCIPATION CELEBRATION. -The Emancipation Celebration to be held at this place by the colored people at Frederick county, on the 18th of August next, bids fair to be in every respect worthy of the great event which it is designed to commemorate. No trouble or expense will be spared to make the demonstration a success, as the committee of arrangements announce a program which, if carried out, will undoubtedly draw together, on the occasion, large number of persons, both white and colored. Frederick Douglas, the renowned colored orator and statesman, will positively be present to address the meeting, also John M. Langston, the distinguished colored lawyer from Ohio, and Rev. B.T. Tanner of Philadelphia. President Grant has also been invited, and is expected to be present. Moxley's Brass Band, of Hagerstown, will also be present to enliven the occasion with music. The Frederick County Agricultural Society have granted the use of their grounds, and the committee promise every convenience possible to those who may be present. An admission fee of twenty-five cents for all male persons will be charged, the proceeds, above expenses, to be used for educational purposes. The following is the list of officers, &c., selected to make arrangements and manage the entire affair. President; Robert E. Proby; Vice President, Lewis Cosley; Secretary, Richard H. Diggs; Corresponding Secretary, Isaac W. France; Treasurer, Charles Tasker; Chief Marshal, Thomas H. Cooper; Aids Ephraim Corsey, John Boyd, Edward Speakes, Scott, Coffee, Amos Valentine, Thomas Roberts. Committee of arrangements, Francis Roberts, Cornelius Gant, George Washington, Oscar Key, Wm. H.
