quite an excitement at Ell Passo. Orders were sent

were killed on each side, but the Chppeways being
the most numerous, drove the Sioux from the field

d. We take pleasure in recommending to the
patronage of the New Orleans public our talented
felow-citizen, The odore A. Gould As an artist
he possesses an ardent love for his profession: but
he has abilities of high ORDER which must enable
him to rise to emnence. He has recently taken
studio on the corner of Baronne and Julia streets,
where he will be happy to see any who may be de-
sirous of favoring him with their patronage In
connection with this subject will state that the
beautiful portrait of Schiller, by Mr.. Gould, to
which we referred some time since, is for sale, and
may be seen at our office. So many encomiums
have been passed upon this picture by connoisseurs,
and Judges of the art more competent than our
selves, that we deem it a work of supererogaton to
say ANYTHING further
