WASHINGTON UNION.

The Washington Union of the 18th instant, con-
tans Mr. Ritchies valedictory to his numerous read
ers and friends. 1t is characterized by ability and
sound view ofpubc affairs, and it teens with the best
advice to his countrymen and brother Editors, commu
ncated in spirit fresh and enthusiastic that of
man of twenty-five. Mr.. Richie retres after con-
nexion with the press of foryseven years duration.
He has done more, perhaps, for the Democracy than
any other living man in the United States. Honor,
say we, and many tranquil years to THOMAS RIrcH1E
The Union of the 18th. contains the Introductory
address of Andrew Jackson Donaldson, the new Ed
itor. Mr.. Donaldson plants himself upon the old
platform of Jefferson, Jackson and Polk and, judg-
ing from his Introductory. can have no doubt of
his ability to maintain his position. The Washing
ton Union, if well sustained, will be of incalcuable
service to the Democracy in the approaching cam
Paign. Mr.. Donaldson brings to his duties an init
mate acquaintance with the opinions of Gen. Jackson
and Mr. Polk, and mind stored with the results of
much reading, observation, and reflection. We think
he has the frmaess and prudence requisite tor the
crisis in which the country is placed. He has our
best wishes for his success.

STATE BONDS,

We understand that the bids for the $4,000 worth
of State Bonds, recently advertised by the Public
Treasurer, were opened on Monday last, the 21st
instant by Mr.. Courts in presence of the Secretary
OF State and Comptroller, and record made of them
We learn further that most of the bonds went off
at about one per cent. premium. None were sold for
less than one per cent. and small amount comman-
ded as high Ave per cent. Bids to the amount of
more than 100000 offered, and all by citizens
of the State.
The Treasurer has addressed letters to all whose
bids have been accepted. and will preserve record
of the whole proceedings together with the original
bids, for the inspection of the Committee of FL
nance.
This is gratifying exhibition of the States credit
We believe this is the first time that premium has
been obtained on our State bonds.

to throw it open for public reception of Daniel

OLD AGE. An aged man, with silver hair, sitting
at the of branching oak, that had seen an hun
dred winters, and was now In the autumn shedding
its century leaves, presents striking subject Tor the
pencil, though we do not remember to have
it painted. He is looking upward, while the foliage
has fallen around to cherish and protect the young
acorns, which destined to perpetuae the of
the patriarch of the forest. But pallet set
forth the thoughts and feelings of the old maR he
revolves in his mind the various fortunes, gales soft
breezes fair weather and foul, that have wa fled him
hither, from his earliest boyhood In the course of
his long wanderngs, he has taken deep draughts OF
pleasure and Joy. He has also known full well the
bitterness of misfortune in the deprivat of proper
ty, or the loss of who very dear, perhaps
of both. And though when his blood ran hot'y
through his veins in the prime Of manhood, he could
enjoy keenly, yet never, perhaps, has he known
and perfect happiness, than he feels at
this moment on the verge OF the grave, among the
fading foliage of the ancient oak.
Such man. during his long pilgrimage, must have
seen much sorrow, for every year, it scores its
pa ssageS our foreheads, at the same time pours
another drop of bitter into enjoyments. Yet he
was never less vulne rable to sorrow than now. As
he descends into the vale of years, the light of COIN
mon joys may become less bright, and his horizon
may be diminished. But his spiritual vision be-
comes clearer. AS he looks up through the naked
branches of the old oak spreading his head, and
finds sight obstructed by the thick summer foliage
that once shat out the sky from his view now, in
his old age, when h is hair has grown thin, and his
worldly honors have fallen around MIN, he see In
the open prospect the armament of heaven gitering
with innumerable hosts OF celestial lights. What
Ossan sung of the sun, may be said of this ancient
man, The oaks Of the mountain shall fall the

shrink and grow again; the moon herself be lost in
heaven but thou shalt be forever the same, rejoicing
in the brightness of thy course. When the world /
shall be dark with tempests; when the thunder shall

from the clouds, and laugh at the Storm |

New MODE OF FREscO PAINTING. A specimen of
SereO-chrOmie, the mode of fresco painting says
letter from Munich, about which German artists
sanguine, has just been completed in HAUL
bach's studio from design of his own, and painted
by of his pupils under his own eye. 1t is figure
of Prophet, and is intended for the great exhibition
in London. The figure, grand and majestic it is,
cannot be expected to give the English public any
thing but faint idea of Kaubachs genius. AS a
specimen of this and much extolled mode Of
painting, it will be regarded with curiosity.
Gere0-chrOnie is the discovery of the distinguished
chemist, the Obergrath Won Fuchs and by German
artists is considered of the great discoveries of
the age. Its advantages over ordinary freSco and
encaustic painting are, its great durability, and the
power which it affords the painter of retouchng and
glazing his picture. The color is mixed with water;
Sprnkllngs of water, in which is mixed a certain
proportion of fourc acid. F7ass spain sarre.)
Stereo-chrone is, in fact Preserver of the wall
on which it is painted. By the chemical action of
the solution sprinked the picture whilst in pro-
gress the whole ground which it is painted and the
picture itself becomes hard fin;y mass, and the
very colors converted into the hardest stone.
This species of painting resists every influence of
climate, and may be confidently used an external

mendatons. He is not confined to time in executing
1t. lie can leave off when he pleases, and for any
length OF time; which he cannot do in fresco work
by any means, nor in oil painting excepting within
certain limits. The highest advantage of all, how
ever, is, that the part may be painted aud
over, as often you pease-which is not possible in
fresco; and, consequently, in this mode the most
perfect harmony may be preserved throughout the
largest possible painting In fesco the artist is the
slave of his materials here, he is their arbitrary
