ARTIINIoN OF pnII.ADELpuIA

ART-UNION OF PHILADELPHIA.
We invite particular attention to the adver-
lisement, 10 another column, of this laudable as.
ISOLATION. Ii is unnecessary 10 recommend the OBJ
jeel of the society, for it addresses itself at once
TO The favorable consideration OF every one
None can regard with Indifference any effort 10
promote the fine arts In our country. We think
the plan of the Ar.Upion OF Philadelphia will
be found 10 possess peculiar advantages; and We
cordially recommend The society to the public pa.
ronage. Although located in Philadelphia, the
benefits 10 result from it will by no means be con.
fned 10 that city, or 10 the State OF Pennsylvania
They embrace the whole Union, and every por-
lion OF il equally and in the same degree. Each
member of the society, il will be perceived, no
matter where he resides, will have The same OPP
por.uni,y with those living in Philadelph ia, to
direct The powers and means OF the association
10 the encouragement Of talent and genius, and
the promotion OF art, in the place of his residence
We have no such association here; and our
people may, BY becoming members of the one in
Philadelphia, as efIecually benefit Richmond in
this respect as though The meetings of the society
were held 10 this place. We trust, therefore, that
nany OF our citizens will become members, and
afford liberal patronage 10 so worthy an under
taking. Those who may wish TO join The society
can do so by calling al The Office of Gus,avus A.
Myers, Esq, or Of Thomas T. Giles, Esq, where
they may also have an opportunity of seeing
sketch of the engraving for this year from Leulze,
fine painting of ".oaH Knoz Rebuk,mg Mary,

GOVERNORS MESSAGE

We have perused with much interest this
important document, TO which We surrender
all our space this morning. 1t presents a
most gratifying picture of the condition of Vir.
GINA, and sketches rapidly the most interesting
features OF our Stale policy. On the subject Of
Internal Improvements and other questions Of
Stale concern, Gov Smith speaks frankly, fully,
and with many bold and original views. Cn
many Of these ve1ed questions there will doubt.
less be great difference oil opinion; but The Gov
ernor's plain meaning no one can misunderstood
At present We have no room for comments-bul
We canno, leave the subject without avowing our
warm aud unqualified commentator of Cover
nor Smiths eloquent remarks on The War with
Mexico and the constitutional rights of The South.
He iakcs the true, patriotic view Of the hlexi-
can war-he ranges himself on the side of the
country and not Of the public enemy, and points
on. the only proper and honorable result OF The
present hostilities. Gov. Smiths views on this
poin, are thoroughly American and worthy of
the Chief Magistrate Of the Old Dominion. We
have nc doubt, ha, they speak the sentiments OF
large majority Of The people OF the Union.
With these necessarily brief and hurried words,
we commend the message 10 The attention Of the

twill be seen from the Geographic despatch,
that the confident hopes Of the friends Of Mr. Jno
nj. Bolts have been disappointed, and that Mr.
Winthrop The Wing caucus nominee, after a
hard struggle, was elected Speaker on The third
ballot. OF course, We cannot know the character
of the voe-but i, is evident that some Of the
Wings could not have swallowed the dose. The
Wings have llSi in the House, and Mr.. w. re.
ceived only ITO, barely enough TO elect him.
THE Baltimore Suns correspondent, says that
MIR. Vin;on OF Ohio was nominated by the Wing
caucus on the first ballot for Speaker but declined
on account OF his ill.healih]
twill be also seen, thatthe Wings have not
vet been able to sacrifice B. 3. French, the Clerk
Indeed, The motion of Mr.. Levin, the Native, in
dica es that the result is extremely doubtful. It
is though, that MIR. Adams will vote for French,
and We heard yesterday that MIR. Flournoy,
wing member from our own state, would vote
in the same way. Other wings are spoken oil as
likely 10 vote for F-and we are therefore not
yet sure that the able and faithful Clerk, French,
has been ecc;ed from office. Al all events, there
is a "screw loose" in The whig organization"

Since nv last nothing new has transpired OF

in- private Of the 81 Dragons came into Gen.

command OF Lieut.. Campbell, 2nd Dragons,

BY guefrllis near Aqua Frio in superior num-

sources i, was known that there was consider
able force OF guerrilias between here and Cerra-

pfehension was entertained for Lieut. c. This
evening, however, he returned with ten men un-
harmed and seven wounied. Five Of the com.
maud were missing when they succeeded in light
ing their way through The euerias, and it is
supposed, are killed. Possibly they NAV have
escaped in the chaparal, although it would be

We may BE- able 10 morrow to lay before our
readers The chief points OF The Presidents Mes.
sage. In the mean lime we feel justified in in.
forming our country friends, upon the authority
OF a gentleman just from Washington, that
things are there moving on we'll. In The first
place, it will be made to appear that the entire
public debt does not exceed, il j, reaches the SUM
of fifty millions. This is well. In the second
place, it will appear that The ariole expense OF the
Navy, including the various outfits, &c., since
The War with Mexico was commenced, has been
betrayed by naval contributions. In other words
that branch of our service has nol cost The Govern.
menr one cent. This is better.
On the subject of the war, the policy of The
Administration will, We are satisfied, be such as
10 command the respect, and respond to the
views of every enlightened and liberal friend 10
the honor and great destinies Of our noble Re-
public asking nothing ,hai is not right, submit
ting TO nothing that is wrong.
P.S. No Clerk oflhe House of Representatives
having been elected yesterday, We presume that's
the Presidents message will not be sent in to-day
and we know mol when 10 expect it.
