We had supposed that the passage OF the Texas bound
AIRY bill by the Senate was calculated TO pour oil upon
the tempestuous waves, 10 remove all danger oil col
lison on the borders Of the Rio Grande. and 90 give
peace to the country. Such was the opinion OF two
senators whom we saw on the next Saturday
morning We were told that more tranquil and con-
ciatory spirit was ddused throughout the Senate,
ate and that good humor and great courtesy prevailed
among the MEMBERS and that there was every prospect
OF the whole question being smicably adjusted We
cannot permit ourselves to doubt that this bill will also
triumphanily pass the House

we learn that Mr. Seward attempting to operate upon
the members from New York. Just as he had moved on

that the Sewardites are making the most strenuous
efforts to load il down with amendments and defeat the

Of the South to cooperate with them in this unortu-

A GREAT NATIONAL WORK,
THE GALLERY OF INDUSTRIOUS
AMERICANS.
Daguerreotypes by Brady---Engraved by
D'Avisnon.

EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.
FINDER this title will be published, during the
- year 1850, twenty -four Portraits and Biographi-
cal Sketches of American citizens " ho have become
illnsrious in the service of the country Every ror
tion Of the work will receive the most careful atten-
ton, and nothing will be spared to render it worthy
mad enduring monument to the great men Of .'e Re-
public.
Mr.. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, in collecting Portraits for National Gal
lcry, and those which being engraved for this
work are believed TO be superior to any that have
ever been taken In the accomplishment of this great
object he has experienced the utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished men. Mr. Brady's
reputation has been too long established to need any
recommendation. His daguerreotypes in the
highest the works OF art, glowing with tie soul
OF the living co'intenance.
The drawings md cngravings of DAvignon have
been pronounced by Europeans of taste to be fully
equal and in respects superior to those Of the
best artists Of london and Paris and every i'm
preston in this Gallery will be taken under his i'm
mediate supervision The Typography will be exc
cutcd carefully and in as superb style as the en-
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
he finest imperial folio paper, 6 by % inches, r:ade
expressly Tor this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in its scope il
will therefore be comprehensive in its spirit. The
names Of those men only arc admitted, whose talents
and public services have won for them an honorable
fame throughout the nation Each of the great de-
partncnts of life will have its representatives. Art
and literature universal in their spirit and the
Gallery is intended to be worthy and enduring mon
ut to the great men Of the Republic, whose
achievements and fame constitute the chief glory Of
he nation. We hope that every lover OF Art, md
friend of our glorious Unon will respond to our APP
peal for encourage ment and aid in commendable an
undertaking, that its publication my make IN
he progress Of American Art, and by grouping Ike
illnsrious OF the Union together, consolidate it
still moro firmly.
As no work of this kind has appeared in America
and the prices they sustain in Europe would place il
beyond The reach of most OF citizens the publish
ers have resolved to merit large circulation, by
charging a very low price They have, therefore,
established the following

ENHANCEMENT OF THE CAPITOL
~ The Committee on Public Buildings Of the
Senate, having been authorized by resolution Of
that body, " to invite plans accompanied by esti-
mates for the extension of the Capitol, and to al
low a premium Of FIVE hundred dollars for the
plan which may be adopted NV the Committees on
Public Buildings Of the two Houses Of Congress, I"
accordingly invite such plans and estimates, to be
delivered to the Secretary Of the Senate on or be-
fore the first day Of December ney..
1t is required that these plans and estimates
shall provide for the extension Of the Cepitol
either by additional wings, to be PLACED on the
north and south Of the present building, or by the
erection Of separate and distinct building, within
the enclosure to the east Of the building.
The committee do not desire to prescribe any
condition, that may restrain the free exercise Of
architectural taste and judgment, but they would
prefer, that whatever plan may be proposed may
have such ret renee to and correspondence with
the present building as to preserve the general
symmetry Of the entire structure, when complete.
Although but one plan can be adopted, the COM
mitee reserve to themselves the right to form such
plan by the adoption Of parts Of different plans
submitted, should such be found necessary; in
which event, the committee also reserve to them
selves the ri ght to divide or apportion, according
to their own Judgment, the amount of premium to
be awarded for the whole, to those whose plans
may in part be adopted, according to the relative
Importance and merit Of each part adopted
