It is a great gift and will be of incalculable value to the city. THE TKLFAIK FAMILY. On Jan. 9, 1786, or just 100 years ago. Edward Telfair was eluded Governor ot Georgia in succession to Gov. Elbert. This founder of a family, whose name has become incoroorated with the history ot tbe State, came trom Scotland when ijuitc a young man, and. settling in Savannah, engaged in mercantile pursuits. By a high and honorable cour.se, untiring per severance and unfaltering industry he rose, within a period of 20 years, to a position ot wealth and influence, and to the enjoyment ol the lull confidence of his feilow-citizeus. When tbe dispute be ween tbe colonies and the mother country culminated in a declaration of war Telfair, now a man of I middle ace and of established position, | took a decided course upon the great ; questions which agitated America, and j openly allied himself with tbe friends of i liberty. From the time that be attended j the tirst meeting of the •‘Liberty Boys” I he had been in uniform, consis'em and j earnest in bis efforts to protect, make j tree and elevate the State ot his adoption. | A member ot tbe Council of Safetv, one ; of tbe d< legates In Congress, aud a Com- ! TELFAIR ACADEMY OF ARTS AND SCIENCES. (Fioi a P otograpl iss:oner to treat wjth the Indians, he | bad established a re] utatim for integ rity of character and captutv for'busi ness that was now to be rewarded with no less a public recognition that his de ration to the highest office l) the Slate, ONE OF THE EARLY GOVERNORS. The period of Gov. Teluir’a first term f office was one which demanded the exercise of sagacity, {votnpmess and firmness, and possessinga ripe and large public experience, he wis enabled to pre side over the State vitb wisdom and dignity. The tro'uble vitb the Creek lu dians excited the gravost apprehensions, and it was to the prompt and vigorous measures adopted rv Gov. Telfair that Georgia was indebed for preservation from a long andbloedv war. When President Washington visited Savannah on May ;3, IT9I and journeyed thence to Augusta, then the capital of the State, be was met out of the city bv Gov. Teliair, at tne bead ol a cavalcade of officers and citizens, and tendered a welcome in behalf of the State. Such waa the fouutier of the Telfair lam lv. whose hivme in Savannah tor many long years was a centre ol culture, refinement and d'gn fijd ease. The old mansion now incorporated into a vast museum of art, perpetuates the beneficent spirit of those w hose piesence around its beartb constituted a nucleus for all that was good and noble in the Savannah of the past. Asa home it is no more. Its halls are silent. But the publio spirit which has devoted Its time-honored walls •o toe noblest of nll causes—the improve ment ot the public tasie and the elevation *1 the public mind—nas converted it into • perpetual monument ot that love which Ibe Tebairs entertained Tor their native elty. Tue humanizing influence of a once happy borne seeks a wider and more ex teuued fi-ld. The home is merged in the vchool of art. MISS TELFAIR’S BEQUEST. There is abundant prool that the late Miss Mary i'eliair long contemplated the disposition she subsequently made of her Property. Mne earnestly ’ desired and sought the improvement of the city, and while her life illustrated thy desire, in her death she set the seal to it. All euo s‘iju- nt efforts to prove a different motive laded signally. H-r demise took place on June 2, 1575, anil amongst other m ta ble citts bestowed under the provisions of her wilt, its fourteenth it- m thus de vises to the Geor la Historical soolety: "All that lot or paro.d of land, with the •uildmgs ami Improvements thereon, fronting nn St. James square, in the city ot Savannah, and running back to .teller son street, known in the plan of said elty ss Lot Letter N. lieathuote ward, the same having ben lor many years past the residence ol my famllv, together wiih •II my b mks, papers, documents, pic tures, statuary, and works ol art, or huv- I lug relation to at I or science, and all the | ittrniture ol every description in thu dwelling house and ou tho prera (excepting sundry articles here enumerated ), and ad fixtures and attaebm nts to toe same, to have and to hold the said lot aid Improve, merits, books, pictures, statuary, fntni “rr and fixtures to the said Georgia His orlcal Society and its successors tn •pedal trjst. to k'ep and preserve the taunt as a public edifice tor a Library and Academy ot Alt-and'deuces, * * • to be opon for the use of the public nn snob terms and under such reasonable regulations ns the said Georgia llistorl.

I iHISTOtor THE WILL. Considerable,igatioo ensued on tbe , publication of fi conditions of the will, | which occupiHhe public attention, as : a cause celrbrc, i*, ieral years. AVnen { the will was twitted for probate a j caveat was isgl at tbe instance of George Noble J<s. Alfred Cutbbert and Mary G. flarristand a formal protest was entered by jgustus I*. Wetter, bus band of Albe'rjA C. Telfair, grand tiieee of the dotted. Monomania was the main groumjtsumed lor a plea to set aside the will; f that veil which should have kindly tolds between the public andloss family differences with which the ter world can have no concern was ruly torn aside. The suit drugged its b* length through the courts, from afal to new trial, until Anally a judgmt was obtained sustain ing tbo will. The exterior <tbe family mansion re mains unchatigiin ’orm or feature. Its familiar front, liking towards Telfair place, bearing Dil; letters the inscrip, tion prescribed ftAe testatrix, has sim ply become ot the new acade my. THE OLD lAfUION REMODELED. The mansid. alrays a substantial, ra ther than aoarotjteoturally pretentious dwelling, no* oontitutes the vestibule of the annex, nd ttta designer should be credited 4th ai amazing amount of courac* in tius undertaking, by the sinipli proceis of enlargetneut, to construct b edifiet that is itself a work ot art by icorporaing into the tout en semble alt>ld tamiif mansion of Colonial times, Bcd. hnweter, was the expressed w-ish of te devisor, and it must be ad mitted tt tbe wort has been as success ful as, uder the lircumstanoes, could have bee anticipattd. The dilensions of the old mansion were 65 feet i thread th b; 60 feet in depth. The tirsnddition or annex, made in the rear waa small ha/! for a’marble stair case—til-proof—l6Teet inf depth. Then tbe anr:K proper far the galte y'and ball ol caststhe latter partly underground, and flnjroof, 60 fet square; and the stu dio anes. 27x60 feet, making the en tire .‘nsth of the building 168 feet /by 60 feet In width. The stdioannex consists of two large studits with four skylights— ona studio for t2b Director, and one for students. Thejasenent contains a large furnace for ie mating ol both galleries and the bal f cists arid janitors’ rooms. Tbe bright of the picture gallery is SO let to.be glass ceiling, and is covered b a ire-broof skylight 86 feet square, by W. E. Wilson.] with plates of glass 10 feetlong, by about % inch in thickness. The first and sec ond story constitute the dwelling of the director. IN THE MAIN BUILDING. The general style of the building is classic, pure, simple, but beautiful. The coloring of the hall in toe old mansion, which serves as an eutrauce to the new galleries, has a gold tone, with a dado of Pompeiian red, and a broad black band. The wood work is of a bronze color. The entire hall is lit by a skylight, beneath which is a deep cove, tinted in a quiet gray, bringing’tbe observer to tho upper cornice ol the Parthenon frieze. This frieze has been made permanent by a course of treatment peculiarly that of the director, Prof. Brandt. The exquisiteness of the tinting consists in tliures being relieved in a light tone re sembling white marble, as It might appear iu Greco beneath an afternoon sun; re lieved from the background hy being tinted in deeper yellows, fading into a yellowish gray on the lower part. The Hooting ot the ball is of white marble, resting on wrougnt-iron beams and brick arches, laid In Portland cement. Toe walls are covered with a portion of the photographs collected by Prof. Brandt in Europe—copies from pictures iu the va rious celebrated galleries. As the visitor proceeds along the en trance hall, examining the photographs on either hand, he pauses as he finds himself fronting the anta of the Hall of Oasts. The entablatures of this entrance, as also of tha entrance to the hall of paint ings above, are Corrinthian in style, and supported hy bronze columns, the effect of the gold metal being complete. THE HALL OF CASTS. The ceiling of this hall is supported by four beautilully proportioned bronze col umns while Ibe floor, as weii as the stairs leading to this bail, and also those by which the asceut is made to the picture gallery above, are of white marble. in the centre of the Hall of Casts, the salient feature of the whole, is the Toro Farnese group. The story of this group is well known. It Is only necessary, therefore, to state that it consists of the Bull and lour other Ueroio-sized figures, viz: Antiopc, bertwo sons, Zetbue anti Ampbion, and Diroe. This celebrated work ol art was executed by two distin guished sc.ilpto r s of toe Kuodian school, Appol ion iris and TaurUoo*. It was found amoug the ruins ol the Baths of Cara oalla, at Borne, about A. D. Into, and be cuma the property of the Farnese larnily, whose heirs sold it to the Naples Mu seum. It is plac 'd on a beautiful marble pedestal 10 feet square, and 3 feet 7 inches high, beneath a glass dome, through whicn a most picturesque light lalls upon it from the gallerv skylight above. Be sides the Toro group this ball contains nnmbereof casts collected from tne most fatuous statues in the Naples Museum, the Vatican, the Laterau, and Capitaline Museum, the Uflzt Palace in Florence, the Berlin Museum, the Palace of the Louvre in Paris, and the British Museum in London. THE PICTURE OALLKRY. Ascending to the picture gallery the visitor Hods a hall which, though small as compared with other halls devoted to the same purpoae, la yet. in beauty ol con. strtiotlon. its appointments, its height, its deligotmlly blended coloring, subdued yet perfect light, the peer of anv ball in the world, its beautiiitl tapestried paneling*, brought.from Munich, have been too often referred to to need further comment now. huffier it to say that the bull of painting is a miniature display of artistic skill. Three months ago when the rooms, es pecially the long parlor ot the old man smn, were strewed with tbs debris of broken statuary, damaged In transit to hnvannab.

There are several cutes not yet opened. THRONG THE ACADEMY. In assending the marble staircase from the Hall of Lasts to tbs picture gallerv, a large and very striking vase is observed. The original of tots vase is in ibe Maples museum, and was found at Gaeta, where the fishermen used tt as a mooring at whicn to make fnst their boat ropts. This is plainly seen, as portions ot the beautiful bas-reliel ate worn away. The relief representsMerourv presenting Ba t ebus to the nymph Xiza, fauns and sai.rs in tne procession, in their wild, rollicking mirth, arc superb figures. It was executed in the happiest period of Greek art, as the Greek Inscription on the upper part of the vase indicates, "Sal pion. the Athenian, made this.” Direc tor Brandt ordered the vase expressly, and it cost the Telfair Academy the in significant sum ot sl3. Tue picture gal leiy is the crowning beauty of the Aoad emy. The visitor’s drst impression, prob ably, is that the eolleution is small, c in pared with the Morgan gallery ill New York, of winch one work alone brought $41),000. Director Brandt carried with ban to Europe $20,000 with which t" make the collections lor tne Academy. Briefly, the catalogue Of the expenditure 1* us lollows: Tue fire stone statutes iu tront of the aoadcmv, Phidias, Uaptiael. Michael An gelo, Kubciis and Kenihrandt, are by Profs.

IN feet long by Of.-tt 0 inches high, by Di rector ijebrandolpb, of tbe Stuttgardl Academy of Art, which graced toe prin cipal hail of the International Exhibition at Munich in ISS3. The public is already aware that these are tboriginals, two of which the Director of the Kensington Museum induced rchtandolpb to copy for him, and which arc now nn tbe walls of that museum. FAMOUS PAINTINGS. To this catalogue are added seven or eight fine oil paintings—“ Too Belies ot the Brave.” by Arthur Hacker, already well known to many in Savannah; a touching story told with so much pathos that It appeal* to every Mouthern heart— a set uion uu peace. “The Farmer’s Protest,” by Bruett, of Dus-eidorf, Illustrating the following story: A number ol gentlemen meet at a government law oflloe in Prussia and are “interviewed” by the farmer through whoso land they have laid out a railroad, tor a settlement of tbe account. While the expression of each individual face would delight a disciple of l.ava ter, nothing could ho better than that of the President of the vil lage, who thinks that tho road should not run through the acre and a half, on which nlaoldaunt was born ami bad re sided for years. Tbe extreme amusement evinced by the assistant engineer at this simplicity forms a striking contrast with tbo face of the old gentleman in the fore ground, who realizes that it will cost him some addltioual thousands as the result of t he suit.” Space will not permit a description of all the pictures, a lid hardly a mention of their titles. " The wild boar brought to bay,” by Guidos. Matfe, ol Munich, a beautiful specimen of zngel arf. “A flock of sheep grazing,” a line land scape !>v Carl Oesterly.nt Hamburgh. “A Fiord in Norway,” another large picture by Braith; a Minty of sheep from nature. Portraits ot Gen. Lawtou and Gen. Jackson bv Director Brandt. Very t ruthful representations ot the two gen tlemen whose faces are so well known in Bavuunah. in addition tbe director has also placed on the walls, reproductions in color, after Carl Werner, of pictures of the Nile; the Acropolis, of Athens, and "Ilildebrandt’s Travels Around the World.” There is also n fine, full-length portrait of Mrs. Brandt,by her husband.Tbe sheen and ’olds ot the black satin robe, the delicate flesh color ol the face, together with the life like expiession of the eyes, are singularly true to nature. There are also five picture portraits of ex-President Davis, Gen Robert K. Lee, “Stonewall” Jackson, Gen. Joseph K. Jobneioue and Gen. Beauregard, by M Guillaume. This email collection of pictures is cer tainly not yet what one might expect in m a picture galierv, but is suscpptfbfo ol being blade by the people of Bavaivnifn themselves, in a few years, a most impor tant. feature of th'i city. THE INTERIOR OF THR GALLERY, The gallery is pronounced by compe tent judges a work of art in Used l . As one passes through tbe anta, witu its Hun. ly proportioned bronze columns and pi lasters, the perfect proportions of the room arc, at once, perceptible.
