banners executed by that promising young art
isl: one Of which is intended for the PatuXent
Lodge Of Odd Fellows at Laurel Factory, and
the other for the Pocahontas Tribe of the Order
OF Red Men, OF this city. Both are painted Oh
fine white satin. The former represents
figure Of Charity standing erect, and EMBEDDING
in her arms three orphan children, while the ALI
seeing Eye is shedding beams OF light upon the
scene. Beneath is the motto "Charity never
taileth." On the other banner is representa-
ton Of Pocahontas saving the life of Captain
Smith. The captain is in a recumbent posture,
and the maiden imploringIy extends her arms
to avert the blow from the club in the hands of
the Indian warrior. Both pieces reflect infinite
credit upon the taste and skill ofthe artist.

lead to important results, as there has been a

The Fourth of July A correspondent who
signs himself "Nernon" asks the question whe-
ther place has been selected for the display of
Fire Works on the evening of the ensuing 4th .
of July, and if not, suggests the proprety of
using the ground adjacent to the Washington !
Monument for that purpose. He thinks, and
so do we, that 1t is extremely eligible both on
account of its elevation, and It's capacity for
accommodating large number of people. We
ask the committee ofarrangements
to bear this in mind.

Norfolk Steamboat Line. The fare on this
line of steamers has been again reduced, in or.
der to meet the wishes of the travelling COM
munity, and we have no doubt but that the re-
suit will be corresponding increase of travel.
The boats are as safe, commodious and conve-
nent as any in the country, and for speed are
unrivalled. With obliging and attentive COM
manders and crews, they can never fail being
popular, and preferable mode of travelling to
the public at large. We refer 10 the advertise
