3 The following, coming from an artist OF known
skill and TASTE will commend itself to the attention of
our readers.
Mr.. EDITOR: i wish to call the attention of your
readers to the unique, and in respects splendid
exhibition open Brinley Hall. l think it will
better repay the expense trouble of visiting than
almost any similar effort hitherto exhibited, certainly
than any ever exhibited in Worcester.
The solemn and mysterious aises and arches of the
Mammoth Cave passed in review before us on the
moving canvass, with, in respects, remarkable
degree of realization, and to my mind with much i'm
pressveness. In particular, the figures well intro
duced, the perspectves retiring distances well man
aged the effect of the fire and lamp light, opposed to
the gloom of remoter parts the cleaning of the ncrus-
tations, sc. ingenously and effectively given.
In short by an effort of magination one might fancy
himself wandering with capable guide through the
veritabe Kentucky Cave; but to imagine the cold,
somewhat too refreshing aircurrents Of that subterra
neous passage, chilling the blood in our veins would
have been venture to say beyond any stretch of mag
nation, attanabe in the hall last evening" the ar
fist will but succeed in conveying as papable resem-
bance to the lungs and cutce he has to the eye the
writer will warrant him crowded houses the whole of
this suty season. As it is, greater praise can be
awarded to it. than that it will and must command fill,
houses even at this unfavorable season. The scenery

hand and is excellent in its way Mr.. Brewer, in his
explanations, shows himself genuine western man.

THE SPECIAL MESSAGE.

We publish on our first page today the Special
Message Of Governor Quitman to the Legislature.
The Message, II will be seen, was called forth by a
letter addressed jointly by our Senators and Repre-
sentatives to the Governor. These documents will
explain the object and the crisis which called them
forth, and they need no comment The message is
admirable both in temper and in style, and we feel
sure it will meet with the decided appreciation Of the
great body of the people Of the State, without dstinc
ton ofparty. We trust that our Legislature will
respond to the recommendation Of the Governor and
make "a firm remonstrance against the present ad-
mission Of California as State with the restriction
against slavery"
The allusion by the Governor, says the Mi5sissp-
plan ITO the special agent despatched to California
to hasten the formation OF the government brings I,
our mind the fact, that eminent wings as well a:
democrats have unqualifedly condemned that move
nent; and the legislature Of Georgia, of which State
that agent was a citizen, have in a series Of resolu
tons denounced him as an instigator in getting "
the free soil feeling by his public speeches, whcl
placed the present prohibtory slave clause in tn
California constitution"
