Look like this site
http://www.swindongallery.org.uk/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=html:Home

It has "3 columns" 1 for default sidebar 1 for gallery and 1 for "another sidebar" .

matrix theme?
edit album.tpl and photo.tpl if you want the sidebar on photo pages as well
add the bold:

  
    <td id="gsSidebarCol">
      your new sidebar content goes here
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>

Thanks so much , i have created a new right sidebar , but another thing is that how can i modify it in the admin cpanel. I have created a new sidebar.tpl, and i could not find where to add new block options in admin settings . My new sidebar.tpl is

{*
* $Revision: 17075 $
* Read this before changing templates! http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery2:Editing_Templates
*}
<div id="gsSidebar2" class="gcBorder1">
{* Show the sidebar blocks chosen for this theme *}
{foreach from=$theme.params.sidebarBlocks item=block}
{g->block type=$block.0 params=$block.1 class="gbBlock"}
{/foreach}
</div>

I think the bold is what i must change. Is it right ?

I don't understand. Just by adding a new table cell to the album.tpl does not allow you to add block to it from the admin page.
You will have to add blocks manually:

For example : When i use matrix theme :

And then when i change to Ebony theme :

http://img187.imageshack.us/my.php?image=sidebar2zk0.jpg

Ebony theme has 2 more "Blocks to show" , so how could i add more "Blocks to show" ?

Also ,

I added :
.one-image {
display: inline;
padding-left : 2px;
}

Into theme.css

And then i add those code to album.tpl in order to show random image horizontally

<div class="one-image">
{g->block type="imageblock.ImageBlock" blocks="randomImage" repeatBlock=5 showDate=0 showOwner=1 showViews=1 showTitle=1 showHeading=0 useDefaults=0}
</div>

But the images are not horizontal and still vertical

You are going to have to look at the code for that theme.
if you compare theme.inc from both themes you will see how the ebony theme added a new 'blocks to show'

try:

.one-image {
	display: inline;
float: right;
	padding-left : 2px;
}

or you might want to use the media block as it has more flexability:
