PORTRAITS OF GEN'L TAYLoR.-Nr. Al
WOOD, a distinguished artist, has reached
New Orleans, direct from the camp Of Gen.
Taylor The National states s.that he has
painted two portraits of General Taylor
one in full uniform, the other as "Rough
and Ready" This latter picture is pro-
nounced perfect likeness, even TO the old
''brown coat" and check shirt Cannot Mr..
give us good people Of N. Orleans
peep at this Rough and Ready picture ?

These prices are still very high, and with
the certainty of our harvest, and the pros
pect at the last accounts of the harvest in
Europe, are above what they ought to be-,
and would be, but for the specula,ions of
the last four months. If the next news from
England be unfavorable to the crops there,
prices may be maintained or even 60 higher,
but if favorable, then "there will be fall"
1t is ticklish business to have big stock
of flour on hand just now.-Patriot.

AMARYLAND HERo.-We find the follow

AMARYLAND HERo.-We find the follow
ing account Of one who may be truly termed
s'lhe oldest inhabitan,," in the Cincinnati
Commercial:
There is now living one-half mile above
the tol-gate, Fulton, an old Revolutionary
soldier, named Benjamin Yeats. He was
born in Baltimore county, Maryland, in
1886, and is, therefore, Ill years old. He
was in the battles of Y Yorktown, Paola,
Brandywine, and several others. He was
present at the taking of CORVALLIS. At
yorktown he was wounded in the hip by a
she'll. This wound is now troublesome :;
otherwise, the old veterans health is good.
He can see to read, and walks out daily. He
is active-exceedingly SO for man of his
advanced age. Some seven years ago, Mr.. Y.
applied for pension and on account of some
OF his papers having been burned just after
the las, war, he was enabled only to obtain
$50 per year, and took no arrearages. The
reason Mr.. Y. gives for not obtaining more
money, or applying sooner, is, that he never
intended to call on government, as he al
ways had enough, and expected his own
wealth would last his lifetime. 1t now ap-
pears that Mr. Y. could be made more COM
Portable by having the bounty of his go
vernment, which he is fairly entitled to-,
and we hope such steps will be taken as
shall lead to his recovery Of all his dues.

ARREST OF DISTINGUISHED CHARAc-
rER.-New York has many distinguished
characters, and among the number is the
"Lady in Black" who has been passing
herself off for some time, as a Spanish
Countess, of immense wealth. The story
was believed, and she was courted by the
apes of foreign aristocracy, at the leading
hotels, where she invariably put up. On
Tuesday: however, she was ARRESTED for
stealing 1874 worth of goods from Madame
Granerder, and committed to the tombs for
trial

effectually done. And if that attention is
paid to it, which it SO richly merits, if it
does not preserve as many human lives, !
candidly believe it will in time save as many
drops of human blood as were spilled upon
the blood drenched plains of Waterloo or
Austerlitz. PHILANTHRoPos.

EXPORTS AND IMPORTS. - Breadstuffs
says the Washington Union, still bring a
good price, and the foreign market for them
is established and especially for Indian corn;
and there cannot be doubt, large as i'm
ports of goods may be, that our exports, in
Guiding the earnings by freight, will more
than equal the imports.

THE New BATTALIoN-Capt G. w.
Hughes, of the corps of Typographical En-

Dan Drake Henrie's company, of this bat
talon, also arrived at the same time, and are
now at Fort McHenry. The other officers

PAPER GLAss.-Prof Schebein, of Basic,
who invented the gun cotton has lately, to
a certain point, discovered malleabe glass!
He renders paper paste (papier mache)
transparent by causing it to undergo GER
tain metamorphoses which be calls Cataly-
tic, for want OF an ineligible term. He
makes, of this new paper, panes of glass,
vases, bottles, Sc, perfectly impermeable to
water, which may be dropped on the ground
without breaking, and are perfectly transpa-
rent. He also renders paper impermeable,
and perfectly suitable for bank notes.

improved since his return from Washington.
He walks daily without the assistance even

The correspondence ofthe Baltimore Pat

The correspondence ofthe Baltimore Pat
riot, dated Y ork, Pa, June 24,h, says:
Next week, the wheat and rye harvest
will commence. A vast quantity of grain
will be cut, in this and the adjoining coun-
ties, during that week. The wheat on the
whole, looks pretty well-much better than
any one could have thought possible, a
month ago. There is occasionally field
that looks badly; but to make up for that
you may see, perhaps, on the next farm, a
field equally remarkable for its rich promise
The Mediterranean wheat generally looks
we'll, and good deal of that was sown las
fall. The wheat, therefore, promises fail
average crop.

GREAT SPEED-The Norwich steamboat
train ran sixty-six miles this morning in one
hour and ffty-two minutes, including three
stoppages. This is nearly forty miles an
hour. The engine which performed this
fete is called the Col. De Witt, built by
Rogers, Ketchum s. Crosvener, of Patter-
son, N. J. and is said to be one of, If not
the very fastest, machines ever built in the
United States.-Boston Trans.

LA VEGA.-The intelligent army cores
pondent of the St. Louis Republican writes
as follows from Jalapa:
Yesterday morning was in the company
Of La Vega about an hour, and whatever
others may think he is far from entertaining
the belief that we are speedily to have peace,
and he makes no disguise whatever Of his
own feelings, that so far as his influence or
his voice can 60 the United States never
shall have peace with Mexico, so long as
the Americans have hostile foot this side
of the Nueces. He remarked what was
very true, that thus far the war had been
fel, more sensibly by the invaders than by
the invaded that, in one sense, it had prov
ed great relief to them, by the expenditure
and diffusion of millions of money among
them, while they had elevated their national
character for prowess in the estimation of
the civilized world. Mr.. Trist, the quasi
Minister Pzenipotentiary from the United
States, spent some time in his company, but
question whether he accomplished any
thing that would have The slightest tenden-
cy to advance the object of his mission. !!
also learned from satisfactory source that
the controlling motive that actuaed La Vega
in refusing to accept parole, when the re-
sidue of the Mexican prisoners of war did,
was not so much that of patriotism, but on
the contrary desire to save his property
from the grasp of his own Government !;
that, if he accepted his liberation upon
parole of honor, and should, notwithstand-
ing, refuse to head an army again in defence
of his country, against our forces, his Go
vernment would make il an excuse to con-
fiscate his extensive property, and thus
throw him pennIless upon the world.

CHESAPEAKE AND OHIO CANAL.-lt was
stated recently that Messrs. Earrings, the
London bankers, had declined to furnish
100000 to aid in completing the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Canal to Cumberland. 1t
is now said that the cause of the failure was
the unfavorable report of Capt. Swift, of the
U. S. Typographical Engineers, in whose
opinion more confidence is placed than in
that of Messrs. Davis s. Hale. He reports
that the estimate will not be sufficient to
complete the work TO Cumberland.
