Our SCULProRs IN lrALY.-A correspon-
dent of the New York Tribune, under date
of Florence, gives the following interesting
account Of GREENoUGu and Powers, and
their present labors:
Messrs. Greenough and Powers are adj
ding daily to the reputation Of our coun.
try. As artists and as men they rank high
here. The former is completing his piece
for the Capitol Of Washington, designed to
match Persico on the east front. 1t is Il
beautiful composition, appropriate and ma
tional. 1t will not be, like his Washing
ton, open to criticism on account of his at.
tempt to make classic by denationaizing
his subject. lIehas chosen an early settler
whose home is attacked by an Indian. The
hardy borderer has seized the savage with
the calm dignity of confidence, holds his
right hand which was uplifled with the
fearful tomahawll clenched firmly, in his
own, while his other holds the body in its
secure position. Beside is the mother, who
9aZes upon hei i"fant, which she has
snatched from danger WIN fs-Iinus or
pleasure and gratitude beamns in her
countenance. The whole is atired in a
manner peculiarly national and the result
OF which will illustrate an important point
in the history Of our country, and the pro-
gress Of humanity from barbarism TO civ
| lization. Mr.. G.. has several other smaller
pieces in progress: one ofwhich illustrates
an event in his own life. An artist is rep
resented gazing at his subject which stands
before him, in state Of dependency, his
lamp almost extinct, when an unknown
| hand reaches from ont cloud and fills his
lamp. It'll a beautiful piece in basso rckero.

of Russia to Poland, both having their origin in
the treaty of Vienna. That treaty, assented to
by the European powers, Russia insists shall be
fulfilled, and has so Informed the Cabinets at Lon

talked of. Russia is thus committed both to Aus

to Lombardy not only in virtue of the treaty. in
1915, guaranteed by the allied powers, but in vir.

statement of the votes given in this county for
Presidential electors:
Arkansas intelligencer., 1848-11-18

0STWe understand that a gentleman of our
city. who left Little Rock last Tuesday and arriv-
ed here yesterday evening, says that.he knows of
five Senators. who had voted for Sewer the first
day, (the l3th,) that would vote for BorIand the
next day, which would be the day he left, which
would increase BorIand's vote TO II, and reduce
Sewers to 81. We are glad that the members
from Washington county, who had voted for Sc
vier, are among those alluded to as having chang
ed, by this means reclaimlng their pledge to those
who elected them.
Three more votes would give Maj. Borand u
majority of all the votes cast. AS they COM
menced changing, it is highly probable that they
kept It up until enough come once 10 elect Maj.
BOrIand, easy. Half of those voting for Mr.. No.
land, are favorable 10 the election Of Borand as
their second choice.
