porting column. The utmost enthusiasm and
confidence prevailed Gen. Patterson, though
laboring under severe illness, rode on horseback
in front Of our line as we were leaving the main
road for the chsppersl, and was received with
tremendous cheering. After leaving the main
road we marched along mere sheep tracks thro'
dense chapprral in Indian Ale, which in the pre-.
sence Of any other enemy must have ensured our
destruction. In this manner we marched about
four miles, when We came TO an open spot and re-.
ceived orders 10 hasten forward at double quick
time. AT this moment the enemv's bugles SOUND.

were rising bill the other side, the enemy open.

very luckily that We have nothing to relate.
The usual amount of thieves, Of course have
'rrn detected and arrested. About so many
drunkards have been seen living in the streets.
but nothing that can be Of interest out Of the
town has transPired for some weeks past.
Such being the case. perhaps, I cannot do
better than to write upon the subject of the Arts
L Mon recently established here, and the effac,
which il seems TO have produced upon the pub
lie taste, II has always seemed to me, despite
what may be said by some Of our Unitarian
Philosophers, that the cultivation of Artistic
skin and taste, was a thing both desirable and
useful. Some one has well said, that it was a
sure sign Of a happy family. when flowers and
vines were to be seen in the yard, and cluster
ing over the house, in which they lived We
are 80 constituted that the sight of beautiful
things, and the hearing Of sweet music has an
effect to soften our hearts, to unbind our minds,
II were, and amid all the dust and the noise Of
this battle of life. to produce flowers, and bird
songs in our hearts garden. SO in society. when
We see in any society love for the beautiful
things of art, We assured that il is capable Of
higher things than the mere strife for gain II has
arisen one step nearer perfection. II has often
happened that this has been the only redeeming
trait Of an age otherwise unworthy, and utterly
contemplate, but II has oftener been the case.
that the age which has seen the highest in art,
has seen the greatest in religion and morals
The same age saw Michael Angelo and Luther
The same age saw Phideas aud Socrates, Shak-
speare and Bacon were contemporaries. 1t is for
this reason that we have been glad to see in this
city, anew interest for art Our Arts Mon estab.
lished some six months ago, has brought out all
the talent Of the city, aud has likewise called
public attention to the state Of the arts The
public taste is improving. The rooms Of the
Arts Union are much frequented by all classes,
and amongst all the hurry Of business, and
