is from the various facts and reasons adverted to in
this report, as much entitled TO state patronage as
the others upon which such immense sums have
been expended, aud yet q brief statement will show
that an immense disparity exists in the amount OF

At the College CT Jeffer son there are nine pre-

that the college Of Baton Rouge, though equally

share of state patrraage.

behind the kneeling group stands Fuller in
the act OF parting with his wife, whom he
leaves behind, with the intention of returning
for her as soon as he shall have provided a
home for her reception beyond the Atlantic.
On the left stands Wins!ow with his fair
young bride, both of whom while travelling
on the Continent were attracted to hear the
preaching OF Robinson, and joined the cxpe-
dition of the pilgrims. In The fore ground, on
the right hand, among those who are kneel-
ing, appears Miles Standish, the great warri-
or OF the Colony. He is dressed in buff
Goa; with steel corslet over it, and his pow
erinl and manly form is worthy Of the great
warrior OF the tolony.-one of the hardest,
most resoiute and skillful soldiers that ever
drew a sword.
We did not begin this article with q view
oil giving a minute description Of the picture,
and therefore omit many of the details, some
OF which add greatly to its interest. We
must not however pass by the sicl, boy who
kneels beside his mother, Mrs. Brewster, with
his hand in hers, and in whose countenance
are expressed the .anguor and detection oflIl-
ness. This affecting circumstance, finely
introduced by the painter, has the authority
oi history, Tor the pilgrims gave as one of the
reasons FOX leaving Holland the fact that their
children, III consequence ofthe labors TO which
they were subjected, became sickly and fell

Robinson is noble one the artist has Civ
en- him an aspect of mingled benignity, reso.

protection he is in the act OF invoking. The
costumes are carefully conformed to those Of
the beginning of the 18th century, and are
managed so as to produce an agreeable vari-
ETY.. Great study has been bestowed upon
the design, and great pains on the execution
OF this picture. Mr.. Wier has reflected tina,
none Of the great works of art on which time
has no power, have been produced without
long and intense toll. We suppose, that in
the course of the present year, this painting,
destined to do honor to the artist and the ma
ton, will be completed.

AN INc.nENr.--A Washington letter SAYS ::
ct will he gratifying 10 the public to learn
that the Secretary of War intends to place the
two grandsons of General Harrison--( both
Of whom are fatherless)--at West Point, as
soon as they are of the proper age. One Of
these is the son of the amiab!e and accom-
plished lady who presided at the White
House during the Generals brief term. The
other is the son Of the Generals eldest son,
now dead-and his mother, who is also dead,
was the only child of the late General Pike.
General Harrison had peculiar attachment
to this spirited boy. He spoke of him al
ways with the greatest fondness and pride.
The youth is eager to follow the profession
OF arms. He feels the blood Of his two IL
lus;rious grand fathers stirring at his heart.
1t was the wish of Gen. Harrison that he
should receive the advantages of mitarv
education at West Point; ard in connection
with this object Of his heart, mag mention
| the following anecdcte, as illustrative of the
! GOOD nature which characterized the inter-
course between General Harrison and MIR.
| Van Buren,, during the brief soiourn ct the
I former here, previous 10 the Inauguration.
| At their first interview, after conversation
distinguished by great good humor on the
F! part Of Mr.. Van Buren,, and more than his IL
sual vivacity on the part of General Harri
son. the latter said, "Mr. President, have
favor to ask yon.--There is grandson OF
my gallant friend General Pike, who is desi
rous Of being placed 1t West Poir.. lie ha;
nothing on earth left him but his grand
fathers sword. He is also a grandson o.
mine--and as nave never appointed any rel
alive to any place. wish YOU to relieve me
and send him to the Military Academy your
self" Mr.. Van Buren, promptly replied tina
| n would nj hin, t,in 10 do, m
But il was found that the youth lacked some
, months Of the age required by the regulation
Of the department The plan was therefore
| frustrated. The public will rejoice 10 lean
! that Mr.. Bell intends TO carry out the wishe
ii Of the President in this iuaitcr.
