FINDER this title will be published, during the
u year 1850 twenty -four Portraits and Biographi-
cal Sketches OF American citizens who have become
illusrions in the service OF the country Every por
ton 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 the Re-
public.
Mr.. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, in collecting Portraits for National Gal
lery, and those which are being engraved for this
work are beiey cd to be superior to any that have
been taken In the accomplishment 81 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 sense the works OF art glowing with the soul
OF the living countenance
The drawings and engravings of D,Avignon have
been pronounced by Europeans Of taste 10 be fully
equal and in some respects superior to those Of the
best artists OF London and Paris; and every inn
preston in this Gallery will be taken under his inn
mediate supervision. The Typography viii be exc
cued carefully and in superb style as the en-
cravings themselves, The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper, 16 by % inches, made
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in its scope il
will therefore be comprehensive in its spirit The
names OF those only are admitted, whose talents
and public services have won for them honorable
fame throig hout the nation Each OF the great de-
partments oil lie Will have ITS representatives Art
and Literature universal in their spirit, and the
Gallery is intended to be worthy and enduring mon

achievements and fame constitute the chief glory OF
the nation. We hope that every lover OF Art, and
friend Of glorious Mon, will respond to our APP
peal for encouragement and aid in commendabe an
undertaking. that its publication m ~ make an era In
the progress OF American Art, and by grouping the
illstrious men Of the Union together, consolidate it
still more firmly.
As no work OF this kind has appeared in America.

ANOTHER ToprEpo Box-Mr. James McNice,
in the employment Of Thomas M. Shepard, hard
ware merchant, of 20S Water street, yesterday
received suspicious looking box, at the hands Of
a boy unknown to him. The package was about
6 inches long by 5 inches wide, and was neatly
done up in wrapping-paper, and addressed to him
in neat and legible hand Mr.. McNice, from
the fact of his having been threatened by GER
tain individual few days since was led to believe
that this box was an instrument designed for his
destruction After rejecting awhile on the best
course to pursue, he concluded to convey it tothe
Second Ward station house, and lay the matter
before Captain Leonard. Tie Captain and seve-
raj Of his officers looked at the box and thought !;
finally it was proposed that it should be taken
before the Chief of Police, which was accordingly
DONE The Chief and his aids scrutinzcd the box,
or rather the wrapper, but felt no inclination to
handle it. Finally the receiver was requested to
place it in wash basin, where it remained nearly
three hours, and was then supposed to be thor
oughlv saturated with water. 1t was then taken
out and opened, when beautiful mahogany box
was found, containing two daguerreotype like
nesses of Mr.. McNice's cousin, which, from
having been so long in the water, were almost
ruined, - Tribune.

Knowles, in the London Mining Journal, proposes
an entirely new process for smelling the ore and
saving fuel, the loss by the common modes being
made by him at 81 per cent. His plan is to crush
the and put in gas-proof reverberatory ovens.
The fuel is to be decomposed in separate cham
Der, and the vapor Of carbon passed into the
heated mass Of ore; so that the o. gen of the
ore, uniting with the carbon, will leave the pure
metal only behind when the ore is an oxide of
iron. When it is a carbonate of iron he would
mix the richer ores and allow their oxygen to
combine with the carbon of the leaner ore, thus
saving fuel. Alter the necessary chemical effect
is secured by the exchange and combination of
the gases, then the ore is expected to be reduced
any necdful nux being used at this last process.

constitutions and may present those constitutions
TO Congress, in conformity with the constitution
of the United States, with without prohibition
against slavery, as the people of those Territories,
then having become States, may see fit to declare,
have not seen very much practical utility in this
amendment. Nevertheless, if | should vote, now
that it is presented TO me, against IL, IT might
leave me open TO the suspicion Of intending or
wishing to see that accomplished in another ways
which do not choose to see accomplished by the
introduction Of the Wilmot proviso that is to
say, il might seem II, voting against that form
Of the exclusion the prohibition, might be
willing that there should be chance hereafter
TO return TO some other form. Now think, SIR,
that righteousness and steadiness. of purpose, UNI
der these circumstances, compel me to vote for
the amendment of the hopor,ble member, and
propose to do so. do il exactly on the ground
that voted against the introduction of the Will
mot Provlso; aud that Is, that as restrictions OF
this sort, in my opinion wholly and absolute
ly unnecessary as they give offence as they
create a degree of dissatisfaction, and as desire
10 avoid all dissatisfaction, SO far as i can, by
avoiding all measures that cause, and are them
selves in my judgement wholly unnecessary -
therefore vote now as voted upon former oc-
casion and shall support by my vote thu amend
ment of the honorable member from LOUISIANA,
Mr. SoULE.l | repeat, that do 1t upon the
exact grounds upon which declared upon the
5th OF March, that | should resist the Wilmot
Proyiso--the precise grounds and do not choose,
for the present, to go into any other grounds
whatever"
The explanation is clear and conclusive as
TO Mr.. Webster's position.
The position Of other gentlemen who voted
with him is equally well defined. Most of
them know full well that by this amendment
the South may get the shell, but they never
will permit her to secure the kernel.
Let the actual application Of a new slave
State come up, and who believes that the
same vote could be counted on for its admis-
SION
But there is another point Of view in which
this vote is to be regarded, aiiording good
grounds for anything rather than congratu-
lation.
The amendment only declares an UNI
doubted constitutional right, and yet thirteen
Senators are found ready to record their
votes against it. The extreme of the Free
Soil doctrine is embraced in the negative Of
this right-the unconditional exclusion of
all slave States hereafter, on that ground
alone, avowed land we find Seward, Hale,
and Chase sustained by gentlemen not hith-
erto regarded as regular recruits of Free
Soil
What is the language Of the amendment
Simply that the Incorporation Of slavery into
a new State applying for admissioa should
not Of itself constitute bar to such admis-
son-thut is all; and yet its passage by the
Senate; the recognition Of a vested right,
the declaration Of Southern equality, is to be
regarded as sugar-plum for the South,
when thirteen Senator'S deliberately repu-
date and deny it.
