Tribute to a Richmond Artist.

Mr.. Richie, Of the Union, having examin-
ed Mr.. Browns Portraits taken in Mexico,
thus speaks Of them:
ave have visited Mr.. Browns beautiful
gallery of military portraits in Odd Fellows
Hall to night, and we advise the public TO par
ticipate in the pleasure we have enjoyed from
the exhibition. Mr.. Brown was remarkable
for the fidelity Of the portraits he took in Rich
mond Those he has brought with him from
Gen. Taylor's camp are said to be admirable
likenesses. We can judge for ourselves in the
case of Gen. Wool, which is a capital copy Of
the original.
Mr.. Browns gallery consists oft,vo portraits
OF Gen. Taylor-one in uniform, the other in
his ordinary tablespoonful of Gen. Wool.
of Col. Belknap, Major Bliss, (his secretary,)
Major Eaton. Capt. Garneu, Col Mansfield
Bvt Maj. Bragg, ("more grape,'D and Col
Whiting; and one group of small figures at
headqu arters, representing, at the receipt of a
mail, Gen. Taylor and his white horse, and
his officers gathered around him. The paint
ings are excellent, and cannot fail to attract
crowd of spectators around them wherever
they are exhibited"
1t is stated that the President and Heads of
the Departments have also been much grati6
ed with their visit.
Gen. Roger Jones and Col. May were pre-
sent on Monday night, and have expressed
great satisfaction with the pictures. Col. NJ.
recognized the figures at once, as did other Of
6cers who know the originals, and all have
spoken in high praise of the fidelity Of the like
nesses.-Rich Republican.

GEN. sCorr,s SPEECH ToTnE ARMY

The military correspondent Of the Journal
of Commerce, from whose letter we made
some extracts yesterday, after describing the
battle Of Churubusco, thus alndes to the thrill
ling scene of the reception OF Gen, Scott by
the troops, which has been before described in
our paper: Rich. Times.
When it was over, the Generulia- CHIEF
Scott rode in among the troops. 1t would
have done your heart good TO hear the shout
with which they made the welkin ring. Sew
era old soldiers seized the Generals hand
with expressions of enthusiastic delight
Suddenly at a motion Of his hand, silence en-
sued, when in the iulness ofhis heart he pour
ed forth few most eloquent and patriotic
words, in commentator of their gallant CON
duet. When he ceased. there arose another
shout that might have been heard in the grand
plaza Of Mexico.
During the thrilling scene, | looked up 10 a
balcony OF the church that had been so brave
ly defended. twas filed by Mexican prison
ers. Among them Gen. Rincon, venerable
old soldier. was leaning forward, his counte-
nance glowing, and his eyes sparkling with
every manifestation Of delight. veny be-
lieye that the old veteran, with the spirit of a
true soldier, upon beholding victorious Gen
eral so greeted by the brave men he had just
led to victory. forgot. for the moment, his own
positlon,-that he was defeated and prison
er,--and saw and thought only of the enthu-
siasm by which he was surrounded.

THE WAR NEWS.


We lay before our readers to-day such news
flonthc Seat Of War, as we have received during
the past week, consisting as il does Of vague, and
10 some instances contradictory accounts, which
must be as unsatisfactory 70 the reader as they
have boen perplexng to us.
All that is clearly ascertained is, that the ar
Inistiee has been broken--that a bloody conflict
has taken place in the streets Of Mcxico--that
another awful sacrifice of human life has been
made-and that the prospect Of Peace is no bright
er than it was on the day when hostile cannon
"piaced so as to command the principal streets"
Of a Mexican City, first provoked that wretched
people TO war. We are free to say, that we do
not share the fears, expressed by many that the
veteran Seorr and his gallant little army, are in
danger Of either humiliation or capture. Their
ranks may be fearfully thinned by the murderous
fire of tho infatuated Mexieans but we have an
abiding confidence in the military skill Of their
leader, who has never yet been placed in situ
alton from which he was not able 10 extricate
himself with honor.
But, whilst the patriot s heart swels proudly at
the recital of the brilliant trumphs of our coun-
try's arms, the oppressive thought will obtrude
itself upon the mnd--where is all this to end !,
What READ and substantial benefits are to be Sc
cured TO our country by this war, to compensate
us for this vast expenditure ofbood and treasure
Surely this new Territory which Mr.. Polk and
his adhcrents seem determined TO annex to our
Union, no matter at what cost of human anguish,
should be called Aceldana--ihe field Of blood /,
There is legend of one of the mighty conquer
ers Of old, which runs somewhat in this wise
The King proposed to erect monument which
should transmit to succeeding generations, a faith
full record of his greatness and his glory. With
this view he consulted sage who had been one
of the cherished counsellors Of his father, as to
the form and material of his proposed structure
''Shali it be- said his majesty, ga stately pyramid
or a magnificent Temple :" "Let il be pyramid
sire, replied the philosopher. "But not of brass
or marble. Make it Of the skulls Of your pictims, and
let the triumphs ofyou reign be inscribed upon il in
characters Of blood ~
Could monstrous pyramid be made of the
blackened corses of the victims of this war, and
surrounded by a moat which would be vast re-
cePtacle Of the blood and tears which it has shed,
Surely the widest votary of '.manfest destiny
would turn from the appalling spectacle and ex-
claim, 1--WE have paid too dearly for our glory ?"
We are confident that if the voice Of the nation
could be heard, it would say to the President,
"what thou doest do quickly!" Ifnothing less
than the subjugation of Mexico is necessary ''to
conquer Peace, in mercy S name send an army
into that country which will be sufficient to con-
clude the drama at once. We are at ,car, no
matter who is to blame, and the desire of every
patriot should be, to see it brought to success
full and speedy termination.

THNNEssnE VOLUNTEERS.

Upon the call of the War Department for
five companies of Volunteers, fifteen have res
ponded, and lots cast for selection. The five
successful companies are about to be mustered
into service. They are by this time at Mem
phis.
The ten unsuccessful companies in the bal
lot have offered their services 10 the President,

who are so prompt to resent Wing opposition
But why need we ask this2 Have we not =
ready sufficient proof, that no matter how loud
the professions from the mouth, the hearts Of
the Democracy Of Virginia are not in the CON
test. They feel, that while something Of the
soldiers fame may be won in it, there is no.
thing in War OF Invasion upon which the
soldiers conscience can repose in the hours Of
calm reflection.
Who can doubt that some such influence is
operating in Virginia, when it is found tina!
even t,eo companies cannot be raised in fire
months? We will not believe that the courage
and chivalry of the Old Dominion have depar-
ted-and therefore we are bound to give the
most reasonable construction 10 the lethargy
which now prevails. But we may venture to
ask, has the ''pride Of other days" faded, or
has "glory's thrilI' lost its heart warming po-
tency in the boscms Of our young men we
think it not improbable that some Of the grey.

THE mARr1MsnuRa ACADEMY.

1t will be seen by reference TO our adverti-
sing columns, that the board of trustees of this
institution have secured the services of J.
WoRrHINeroN SMITH, A. NJ, late President
of the Masonic College Of Missouri. who will
enter upon his duties here on the first of No
vember next.
The friends of Education in Virginia, will
rejoice to hear of the return to our State, of
this ripe Scholar, who has been so long, and
so successfully engaged in the instruction of
youth, and whose literary attainments render
him valuable acquisition TO any community
Mr.. SMITH was for many years the Principal
Of Kalorama Seminary at Staunton, and there
is scarcely neighborhood in Western Vir-
gina which does not boast of some fair grad
uate of that institution, whose richly stored
mind and varied accomplishments are the
pride of relatives and friends. He has left
situation of great usefulness and honor, TO
devote the remainder of his life to the service
of the State of his early adoption, and most
heartily do we congratulate the people Of
Berkeley, that he has consented to fix his res
idence amongst US.
In the "Marunsburg Academy" and the
Classical School OF the Rev Mr. Love, whose
requirements and capacity as a teacher are
highly spoken Of by all those who have enjoy
ed the opportunity Of becoming acquainted
with them, the town of Martinsburg can
boast Of two Summaries, unsurpassed by any
similar institutions in the country. The rep
gtauon Of these gentlemen, will doubtless at
trac, many pupils from abroad, especially as
the cheapness of boarding and the healthy To-
cation Of our town present additional, and by
no means inconsiderable inducements to pa
rents and guardians.

GEN. SCOTT IN FULL POSSESSION OF

Since the above was in type, we have re-
ceived the Baltimore Sun. which copies from
the N. Y. Sun, letter from Spanish Mex
lean TO mercantile firm in New York, which
gives intelligence up to the loh-three days
later than the accounts by the James l.. Day.
The letter states that on the 18th the A.
mericans made demonstration on the Mill Of
Ell Rey and Chapultepec, hill between Ia
cubaya and the city, Overlooking vast range
of country, and commanding the road between
Tacubaya and the city," The letter goes on
to state, that the American troops were twice

was, as the writer states, not over 300, whilst

the progress of Gen. Scott so, that he did not

he halted and attempted TO lombard the city,
which he did during the balance Of the even

In some instances, whole blocks were destroy
ed and great number of men, women and
children killed. The picture was awful"
Gen. Scott then changed his plan and de.
ternined 10 take the city by storm. "Before
he passed the gates, storm of balls and stones
rained from the houses on his troops" he ne
vertheless made his way towards the plaza,
and took the convent San Isador, and at once
set his Sappers TO work 10 cut a way through
the houses. "In some instances, whole hou-
ses were blown up, and thus he made his way
TO the plaza, which he entered with great loss.
Here he opened heavy fire on the Cathedral
and Palace. Seeing further resistance useless
our troops retired, and on the 18th of Septem-
Der, the enemy was in possession Of the Mex

their side Of over 1000, and sets down our loss

was committed at the Warm Springs, on Fri

kept in one Of the front rooms of the Hotel, be-
longing to Dr. Brockenbrough, was carried off,
about three-fourths of mile, and by means of
powder introduced through the key. hole, and
a slow match, was blown TO atoms. The DR..
loss is between 1900 and $1,000. No clue as
yet has been had, as TO who the perpetrators
were, and no account Of the money, though
an arrest or two had been made. A $50 bill,
