The Camera Among The Icebergs.  Having just returned from a photographic trip among the Icebergs, probably a few notes of it may interest your readers, and I jot them down.

The expedition was arranged by Mr. Wm. Bradford, the artist, accompanied by Dr. I. L. Hayes.  It was my second trip to the regions of ice, so I know somewhat beforehand of the hardships that had to be endured and the difficulties to be met with.

We left Boston June 13th, and, arriving in New York, found one box of chemicals broken.  We replaced them, and left for Halifax on the 15th.  After a splendid passage we arrived there on the 17th.  I found two boxes of glass broken (about one hundred sheets).  I travelled all over Halifax to find some more glass, and the only place I could find any, was at a hardware store, and that was of a very poor quality.  I went to Mr. Chase, the photographer there, who was very accommodating, and assisted me in albumenizing my glass.  Started the next day for St. John’s, N. F., rather discouraged, but in hopes that a bad beginning would make good ending.  We arrived at St. John’s on the 21st.  Nothing of importance occurred on the trip.  We expected to find our steamer waiting there for us, and were much disappointed to find that she had gone to Sydney for coal, for we had to wait in that dead-and-alive place a week before she returned.  To pass away the time, I made some twenty-five or thirty views of very beautiful scenery thereabouts.

The steamer arrived, and we went aboard the 28th.  We set a carpenter to work building a dark-closet.  It was fifteen feet long by six feet wide, with all the modern improvements.  Our steamer (the panther), was of three hundred and fifty tons burden, and was built very strong, on purpose for the ice, and was used for seal-fishing in the spring.  The passengers and crew consisted of about thirty, the jolliest crowd that ever sailed for Greenland.

We left St. John’s on the 3d of July, and were very glad to get off.  The 4th was a very unpleasant day, foggy, and a very heavy sea running; all hands a little sea-sick; could eat but little breakfast, and did not feel like celebrating much; were not at all patriotic; the foreign water had a bad effect on us.  Had bad weather for a week.  On July 10th we made the Greenland coast, a place called Cape Desolation.  We went ashore, and found the place was rightly named, for there was not a living being on it, nothing but rocks and icebergs to be seen.  We intended to leave the next day, but it blew a gale and we had to lay there four or five days.  All hands began to get home sick   we made a few pictures in the rain.

It cleared up on the 15th, and we sailed for Julianehaab, one of the largest places in South Greenland.  The natives were all scared when we blew off steam, having never seen a steamer before.  In the morning we went ashore and called on the Governor, who entertained us with a little whisky and cigars.  In the afternoon we made some pictures of the Governor and his family, and some views of the Esquimaux huts.  The next morning, about four o’clock, we went about twenty miles in a boat (which they call oomiack), paddled by six Esquimaux girls, who were all dressed in seal-skin suits.  We took a picture of a cathedral, built nine hundred years ago by the Northmen, and did not get back until two o’clock the next morning, almost eaten up with flies and mosquitoes.  We sailed

Again for a place called Kaksimuet, about a hundred miles farther north.  In the evening we went on shore to the house of the Governor, who was a jolly old fellow with twenty-two children.  He celebrated our arrival with a dance, and entertained us in good shape.  The next day we sailed about sixty miles to the mouth of a glacier, where the icebergs break off, to take some views; worked all the forenoon; went  on board to dinner; after dinner went back again, and had quite a narrow escape.  Just as we were landing  a large berg broke off, which sent the water up twenty feet all over us, and washed away collodion, developing glass, green baize, ect., and came very near taking us along with them.  As good luck would have it, our camera and tent were up high and dry on the hill.  We had to go on board and change our clothes, and the captain did not think it was safe to stop there any longer, so we got up anchor and steamed across the fiord two and a half miles, into a snug harbor.  We had not been there more than half an hour when a large berg, two hundred feet high broke off, which sent the water up forty feet, and, if we had been in the old place, the steamer would have gone up twenty feet on the rocks.

The glacier comes moving slowly down from the mountain, a great river of ice, thousands of feet deep, sometimes tem miles wide, to the fiord or bay at the foot of the mountain.  The Alpine glaciers roll down into the warm valleys, and there, warmed by the sun, melt away like a piece of wax before a candle, and form brooks and rivers.  But in Greenland, they cannot do that. It is to cold.  Therefore, as the ice at the mouth of the glacier is pushed forward to the water’s edge, it must break off in pieces and fall in, and such pieces are icebergs.  When they break off, the glacier is said, by the natives, to “calve,” or “an iceberg is born.”

I can give you no idea of what a beautiful sight it is to see an iceberg break off, but we, who have seen it, will never forget it.  Think of a mass of ice as big as the space of ground covered by the city of Boston, falling into the sea, and of the tremendous crash that occurs when it breaks away from its fellows, and they give it a parting salute as they groan and growl their last farewell.  Now, see the waves leap up forty feet into the air, washing and lashing the glacier with spray, and sweeping everything away not strong enough to bear the shock; then watch the new-born berg as it rocks in the sea like a huge porpoise, up and down, dropping here and there portions of itself, which drive down and reappear in all directions, and you can imagine faintly what it is to see a glacier “cave an iceberg.”  It is a long time before the trouble of the waters end, or before the new-born babe ceases to be rocked, and is still enough to have its picture made.  It is a sight one never tires of.

The next day our party started to go on top of the glacier.  It was very hard to get on to the with our cooking untensils and photographic traps, it was so very steep.  We travelled six miles on the top of it.  The sight was grand from there.  It was about two miles wide, and the length of it we could not tell, as it was hundreds of miles.  The depth of it was from five hundred to eight hundred feet.  We made a few pictures, ate our dinner  up there, and then started back.  We sailed the next day for Ivigut, where the Kryolite mines are.  Kryolite, as you know, is a mineral which is now largely used in the manufacture of Hot Cast Porcelain Glass for porcelain photographs and burnt-in-pictures, and which, I am told, will soon be introduced into the market.  This is the only place in the world where the mineral is found, I believe.  It imparts a whiteness and hardness to the glass unequalled by anything else, and can be had working in sheets 60 inches square.  We visited the mines, and intended to make some pictures, but it rained for two days, so we started for Upernavik (which means “Summer-Place”), about eight hundred miles farther north, and the most northern settlement in Greenland where there are any white people.  We steamed at half speed on account of the fog, as there was danger of running into the icebergs.  We crossed the Arctic Circle, July 31st.  We sailed along for a few days, and made instantaneous pictures of icebergs.  August 3d we lowered a boat, went ashore, and shot about fifty ducks.  The 4th, the sun shone forth for twenty-four hours for the first time.  We stopped at a place called “Sanderson’s Hope,” and made a picture of a mountain 4500 feet high.  We also collected a quantity of duck eggs.  We arrived at Upernavik on the 6th, a place of about two hundred and fifty inhabitants; went to a dance in the evening in a cooper’s shop.  The principal amusement there is dancing, and the principal smell is seal, which smell I smell yet.  It was so cold your watch-chain would scorch your fingers.  The next day we sailed for Melville Bay.  We stopped at a place called Tursuesak, and took a picture of a house, which is the farthest house north in the world.  It was taken at twelve o’clock in the morning of the 10th; went on deck and could see nothing but ice.  Presently we discovered three bears; we steamed towards them through ice about two feet thick as far as we could, when they came towards us, and we shot them all.  About seven o’clock we saw three more; all hands were anxious for a shot, but I told them to let me shoot first with the camera, which I did, and got two very good negatives of them from the topgallant forecastle.  Walking on the ice presently, they came nearer, and all hands shot and killed them.  We saw two more in the afternoon, but could not get them.  We were packed in the ice all the next day, and could not get out.  The ice made about two and a half inches at night.  I made some pictures on the ice, but with poor success, owing to so much reflected light.  I could not use my bath stronger than 18 grains.  I made negatives, 14×18, with a view-tube, smallest opening, in two seconds.  The next day the wind changed and broke the ice up.  That night we moored alongside of an iceberg.  It snowed all night.  We worked all the next day making some views of icebergs, and at night, took the midnight sun, three negatives, at ten, eleven, and twelve o’clock.  The next day we got high and dry on the ice, and had to stay there two days.  We began to think we should have to winter there, for all we could see, for miles and miles, was solid ice.  This was in latitude 75°.  We wanted to get through Melville Bay, and go farther north to Smith’s Sound, but had to give it up.

August 19th, we started south.  It snowed all night and froze hard, and we began to think it was time to head home.  On our way back, we stopped at Upernavik for a week.  I made some pictures of the natives and their huts, sleds, dogs, etc.  When we went to get up anchor to leave, we found an iceberg grounded on it.  It took about four hours to get clear of it.  We sailed down the coast to Jacobshaven, where there is a very large glacier, but could not get to it, owing to there being so many icebergs in the fjord.  We could not get to within ten miles of it, even with a small boat, so I made some negatives of the icebergs there, and the next day we started for Disco, and made some views of some high cliffs, and of a whaler that was wrecked there.  That finished my photographing in Greenland.  I made between three and four hundred negatives.

September 16th, was pleasant, and we worked all day packing and securing things for sea.  All hands were in good spirits with the thoughts of going home.  Went on shore in the evening to have the last dance and to say farewell.

September 17th we left for home.  The Governor fired six cannons when we left.  We arrived in Battle Harbor, on the Labrador coast, September 23d; found some newspapers there, a thing we had not seen for three months.  We left the next day; arrived in St. John’s September 26th, and, in a fortnight from that time, we were at home, safe and well.

My great trouble, while away, was reflected light.  Everything worked flat, and I could not force the negatives up—the stronger the bath the flatter the negative.

My friend, Mr. Critcherson, of Worcester, was with me, and I suppose no one ever photographed farther north, or in colder weather than we did, but we were well repaid.  You shall see prints from our best negatives soon.  Truly yours, J. L. Dunmore,             Black’s Studio, Boston

Pictures.—J. M. Dow, Photographic and Daguerrean artist, Hopkins’ Block, is making extensive preparations to accommodate the public with pictures.  What more appropriate presents could be made to those you love, than your own pleasant physiognomy—everybody looks pleasant in a picture—during the Holidays.  Next to giving one’s self away, such a presentation would be most acceptable to most folks.  Talk about throwing yourself away, when somebody wants you done up in miniature, surrounded in a neat, little case, and Dow wants to take you for them.  Why, its all nonsense, and not to be thought of.  Go right down and get taken,.

Fire Last Night—Several Business Establishments on River And Congress Streets Destroyed—Heavy Loss.—About 12½ o’clock last night, a fire was discovered in the finishing room over the hat store of Mr. Benjamin Hatch, No. 158 River Street…No. 156…In the upper story Mr. C. C. Doty had a daguerreotype and Ambrotype Establishment.  His loss is about $800—of which $300 was in money burned.  No insurance.

Fire This Morning.—About two o’clock this morning, a fire broke out in the building on the South-East corner of Second and Albany streets, in a room occupied by C. C. Doty, Daguerrean artist.  The flames were discovered by two night-policemen, who at once sounded an alarm, and burst into the room.  The several Companies belonging to the Fire Department were on hand before the flames had made much progress; there was an abundance of water on hand, and by a judicious application of their resources, they were enabled to confine the fire to the portion of the building in which it originated.

Mr. Doty, daguerrean, loses nearly everything in his establishment.  He was insured in the Phoenix Insurance Co., for $800, which in all probability fully cover his loss.

Photographic Miniature Portraits.—Art has achieved a signal triumph in the Introduction of crystalotype likenesses.  In the hands of competent artists, Photography is destined to supersede miniature painting on ivory altogether.  The process is simple and sure.  The likeness is first daguerreotyped on glass, and then transferred to a very fine paper, prepared especially for the purpose.  They are then colored to the life.  The likenesses thus taken has all the accuracy of a daguerreotype, and all the beauty and finish of a painting.  They are much larger than the ordinary miniature, and can be furnished at about one-fourth the cost of the latter.  We noticed that our old friend, J. W. Dodge, formerly of this city, and whose skill as a miniature painter is well known here, has been for some taking likenesses upon this plan.  He is associated with Mr. Augustus Wenderoth, one of the finest artist in the Country.  We have before us a highly complimentary notice of their pictures from the St. Louis Republican.

We are pleased to learn that Messrs. Dodge & Wenderoth will be in this city early October, and will open rooms for a short stay.—With the high reputation which Mr. D. enjoys here, and the acknowledge talent of his associate, there can be no doubt that they will find a lucrative patronage ready for them.

The Fine Arts—Photographic Miniature Portraits.—We take pleasure in calling the attention of our readers to the card of Messrs. Dodge & Wenderoth in this morning’s paper.  Mr. Dodge is well known in this community as an artist who has no superior in this country in his peculiar department—miniatures on Ivory.  Hundreds of his pictures are in the possession of persons in Nashville alone—and whoever has the likeness of a valued friend from his pencil has a “thing of beauty” which will certainly be “a joy forever.”  Mr. D. has associated with him Mr. Wenderoth, an artist of the highest accomplishment, as an examination of some of his specimens will abundantly satisfy anyone.  Together they will not only furnish our citizens with those inimitable miniatures on ivory—celebrated wherever known—but what will prove, we believe, even more acceptable, are to furnish Photographic Miniature Portraits—a style of picture which is destined to a very great extent to supersede all others.  They present at once the faithfulness and accuracy of the daguerreotype, together with the beauty, finish, naturalness and ease of an oil painting—which they in reality are, more than any thing else.  The photographic process transfers to paper the form and feature with unmistakable accuracy in the minutest particulars, while the delicate touch of the artist’s pencil—a pencil already famous even without this aid—brings out in bold and striking relief a counterfeit presentment of the subject, perfect almost beyond credulity.—This photographic process enables the artist to enlarge the size of their pictures, and to prepare them with less labor, as well as more accuracy, and consequently at a reduced cost.  We advise those of our readers who are fond of the beautiful in art, after giving the card of Messrs. Dodge & Wenderoth a reading, to call and examine some of their specimens, of which they have a few.  We can guarantee to the most matter-of-fact individual that he will find something in them to excite emotions of pleasure, and that he will at once resolve to have himself or some friend “done up” in their inimitable style.

Dodge & Wenderoth, the distinguished artists, will take a Photographic view of the interior of the House of Representatives, with the members (and we presume their lady friends in the gallery,) this morning at 10 o’clock, if the day proves a favorable one.  If the day should be unfavorable, the picture will be taken on the first bright day following, at the same hour.  The interior of the Senate chamber will be taken on the day after that of the House, at the same hour, if the weather is fair.

Interior View Of The Hall.  Mr. Parks submitted a resolution which had just been put into his hands, inviting Messrs. Dodge & Wenderoth, Photographic Artists, (conformably to their application,) to take a Photographic Miniature of the House of Representatives at any time it may suit their convenience, and requesting the Door-keepers to extend to them the necessary freedom of the Hall and facilities for that object: and he moved that the rule be suspended for its consideration.

And, accordingly, the rule was suspended, and the resolution was adopted….The Speaker read to the House a communication from Dodge, the Photographic Artists, stating that he would be prepared to take his interior view of the Hall to morrow (Friday) morning at 10 o’clock, if it should be a fair day; and, if not, on the first fair day following, at the same hour….

Photographic Miniature Portraits.  The studio of our friends, Messrs. Dodge & Wenderoth, over Hicks’ China Hall, north side of the square, has become the very general resort of that large class of our citizens of both sexes so justly celebrated for their high appreciation and liberal patronage of every thing truly excellent in the fine arts.  The reputation of Nr, Dodge alone as a miniature painter on ivory, in this city, where he has been so long and so favorably known, is of itself sufficient to attract all connoisseurs.  But there are other no less important features connected with his studio.  The introduction of the new style of pictures, known as Photographic Miniature Portraits, proves a most successful card.  These pictures, when painted, possess all the beauty of the ivory miniature, and, in addition, all the accurateness of outline and feature of the daguerreotype.  Besides they have the advantage in point of size, and are less expense in proportion.  Mr. Wenderoth is himself one of the most accomplished miniature painters in the country, as the specimens of his workmanship abundantly prove.  In the art of Photographing he is entirely au fait, and with his superior apparatus can exhibit pictures equal, if not superior, to any ever taken in this or any other country.

Mr. Dodge has recently returned from a visit to his family in the mountains, and is prepared, in connection with Mr. W., to attend to all orders.  Photographic Miniature Portraits can be readily taken from Daguerreotypes or Portraits.  We recommend those who wish to see something really superior to visit the studio of Dodge & Wenderoth.

Serious Charge Against Two Photographist.—A short time since the following letter was forwarded from Louisville to one of our Cincinnati Police Officers:

Louisville, October 16.  Mr. Sam Bloom—Dear Sir:—On last Monday I arrested a man here, from your city, for passing counterfeit money.  When arrested he had on his person $105 in counterfeit fives on the Northern Bank of Kentucky, and before I got hold of him he had succeeded in passing three of his bills.  He has been indicted, and his trial came up today, but was continued, to allow him to get witnesses from your city.  He says he can sustain a good character, and prove that he came honestly by the money.  He says he will have Mr.________ and _______and John M. Diggins, of your city, here, and will prove by them his character.  I wish you to inform me who these gentlemen are, and oblige me.  Yours, &c.

P. S.—The name of the man arrested is Alex. Campbell.  He says he kept an egg and butter store in your city.  The counterfeit money was in the concealed in the lining of his hat.

Since this was written Campbell has undergone an examination, in which it is said he implicated Messrs. John and Henry Diggins, the proprietors of a Daguerrean Gallery on Fourth street, at whose establishment it is said the counterfeit bills were turned out by the photograph process.  Both the brothers have been arrested and held in $500 bonds each, to answer a future examination, when they will be confronted by Campbell.

The Photographed Bank Bills.—The examination of John W. and Henry M. Diggins, on a charge of being engaged in photographing bills of the Northern Bank of Kentucky, took place before the Police Court in Cincinnati on the 3d inst.  Against John W. there was no evidence whatever to connect him with the charge, and he was discharged by the Court.

The principal witness against the defendants was Henry Campbell, father of Alexander Campbell, who furnished the information upon which the two brothers were arrested.  He testified that he took a letter to the daguerrean room of Henry M. Diggins, from his son, who was in jail at Louisville, urging the brothers to raise money to get him out of the scrape; that in the course of a conversation with Henry M. the latter said that the photographed bills were as good as half the money afloat, and as the banks were all cheating he did not think it any harm to make the bills; that they could be made so as to pass in the banks. 

On his cross-examination, Campbell admitted that he had insisted upon the brothers raising $ 85 to get his son out of the scrape, and that he told Henry M. that unless the money was forth-coming he would have him arrested upon the charge which was subsequently made against both brothers.

This was the substance of the testimony upon which the defense attempted to show a conspiracy to extort money on the part of the Campbells.  None of the bills were found upon the persons or premises.  The prosecution claimed that with the evidence of their principal witness, the younger Campbell, they would be able to fasten crime upon Henry M. Diggins.  Mayor Thomas, acting Police Judge, therefore held him to bail in $300, which was given, and the accused set at liberty.—Cin. Gaz.

Fugitive From Justice.—Harry M. Diggins, a very good looking young man, with dark hair, and brown whiskers, was in arrest on the charge of being a fugitive from justice in Hamilton county, Ohio.  It is alleged that the accused had obtained $34 or more from W. H. Kelsey in Ohio, under false pretenses, and a warrant had issued for his arrest.  The party was identified, but the case was continued till to-morrow.

Fugitive Case.—H. M. Diggins was again presented on the charge of being a fugitive from justice in Ohio.  The case was partially examined yesterday, and continued till to-day, to examine the law in the case.  It appeared that the offense he stands charged with is not a felony, and as the act can only reclaim felons, the charge was dismissed, and he was discharged, but immediately re-arrested, and presented as a

Suspected Felon—Counterfeiter.—H. M. Diggins was suspicioned for being engaged in the getting up and passing counterfeit money, made by means of the photograph.  Mr. Harris, a civil officer from Cincinnati, represented the young man as a bad character, that he was connected with a daguerrean gallery, but left the city for the good of the place.  Just about the time he left he got married, and by some means got hold of a splendid gold watch he pawned for $34, for a few hours.  The watch was replevined, and Harris came here for Mr. Diggins on that charge, as he had left them diggings.  A Mr. Campbell, from Cincinnati, was here introduced as a witness, and testified that Diggins is one of a gang of counterfeiters, and through him it was that his brother is now in jail on a charge of counterfeiting, or passing photographic or counterfeit money.  It appears that the accused had been tried and acquitted in Cincinnati on that charge, and that he came here to settle in business, that he was engaged in vending a patent lamp.  He has been engaged in that business for some tima at Dayton before coming here, and was perfectly willing to go to Cincinnati to answer any charges against him.  Campbell, now in jail, alleges that the counterfeit money he passed here was obtained of Diggins in Cincinnati.  Bail of $400 was required of him for his good behavior 6 months.
