be willing to make the sacrifices which they
endure in the faithful prosecution Of their duties

is o good fellow beyond doubt, and has an eye
singly to the welfare Of his country, except
when he takes glance or two at his own. Mr..
William L. Hodge, the Assistant Secretary, and

He has shown himself an able editor in the

therefore, we say it, he is adequate to the con-
troll of any department under the Government.

MEASURES, NOT MEN. The Union this
morning quotes from the Augusta (Me.) Age a
fattering sketch Of General Houston, in COM
pliance with the request of friend, and says:
eve do so the more cheerfully because we
believe that heretofore nothing has appeared in
our paper in regard to him; but we also do so
in order that we may reaffirm our intention to
keep aloof from any course Of action which can
justify the suspicion that the paper under our
control can be enlisted a. the partisan Of any
aspirant to the nomination of the Democratic
party. Impartiality as to individuals is our
motto until the party itself assemblies in con-
vention, and selects the candidate around whom
can be rallied with the most probability Of sue
cess all those who desire to see the true princi-
Piles and doctrines of Democracy restored again
to their ascendency in the administration of the
Federal Government"

there are some of US who occupy higher ground,
who can praise or blame all the time

CHARLES LANMAN, Eso.-The National Intel
Hgencer of this morning has the following:
"a River Scene in the Wilderness" by LAM
MAN.-Mr. Lanman has just finished another of
his beautiful landscapes, which we saw Yesterday
at Messrs. Taylor s. Maury's bookstore where
1t is to remain for few days.
1t has been purchased by Mr.. Webster, and
il ONE of the last four pictures finished by our
resident artist, and kept among us-one by Mr..
Force, MIR. Corcoran and by Mr.. Bache; which
speaks encouragement to the young artist,
whose works find SO much favor at home. :
MI Lanman is an early riser, and we under
stand this last picture was begun and completed
within week, only two hours each morning
before breakfast being the time devoted to it.
Mr.. Lanman is young man-above thirty
by his fame, but little beyond twenty by his
locks There are few men who possess so
highly the characteristics essential to worldly
success and the resources of happiness within.
He has the clear nervo-sanguine temperament
and the bright blue eye Of genius-an eve that
seems ever ready to laugh with, but never at,
his feliow-men. He excels both as writer and
painter, and constantly receives good recon-
psnse for his labors yet we have never known
young man fired WITH the ardor of Just
ambition who possessed SO little of the froward-
ness Of conscious precocity. His department,
though Meier obsequious, is becomingly defer
entail even to the humblest and least informed;
ard his heart appears ever obedient to the i'm
pulses of the most generous emotions.
His present position is that of librarian in the
War Department, to which we believe are added
the duties of confidential clerk to the Secretary
of War. The labors incumbent upon him here
are faithfully and ably performed, and yet he
finds time to execute with honor and profit many
other useful tasks, and to ramble at the river
side or over mountain and valley, in pursu.t of
harmless sport or to daguerreotype upon his
mind and heart the beauties of natures choicest
scenery. Prosperity and honor are before him.
and none who know him will ever envy his well
merited conquests.
