LOCAL SMALL TALK"
Reported for Tie Cecil Wig.

The Drou sht.-The earth is parched, literally
we have had no refreshing rain for three
months. The weather is hazy and hot-some-
thing like midsummer The roads are deep
with dust, and clouds of it envelope the car
riages that pass. The cars on the railroad are
invisible as they approach because of the smoke
and dust that surround them.
''Vegetation willis with blster'd root"
it is dying or dead. The sun slares
"With hot, and fierce and brassy face"
and the livery Of the landscape is furnished with
blight and dust. "The plough stands in the
iurrow," for the baked earth refuses TO be up
turned. The streams are half dried up, and the
cattle pant at noon, as in the Angus, days.
Red HH.-ln the early spring, when the
young buds were just bursting into arecnness,
and the earliest flowers beginning to bloom, we
spoke ofthe beauties of Red Hill; and again we
mentioned the peculiar charms it possessed in
the painting mItl-.ummer, when the deepest shade
clothed the woods that sirt it round for we were
anxious to draw our readers away in the health
full exercise OF climbing up its rugged sides To
some, our repeated reference to it might have
seemed uresome, but we feel with Dyer, in his
"Grong gar Ill.," when he sings:
''Ever charming. ever new.
When will the landscape tire the view!
The fountains fall, the rivers flow,
The woody valleys, warm and low;
1 he WINDY summit. wild and lluh.
Roughly rushing On the sky!
The pleasant seat, the ruined tower,
The naked rock, the shady bower:
The town and village, dome and fam
Each gives each double CHARM
How well the description suits Red Hill, save
lhernlned tower; and the ina gination may even
supply that in the ruins Of an old house thcre-,-
way found
Go, reader! out to Red Hill these clear, cool
and bracing mornings; see the sun rise up over
beyond Jersey making the Delaware glitter as
ii rises. 1t will be hea,hful, AMI the view is
worth the toll oithe ascent. True, the pastures
look ''brown and scre," but the rows of corn
shocks convey happy thought of labor reward
ed. The river and the town will appear, per-
EapS, in new aspect, and the glorious autumn
woods on all sides around, how more than beau
tifu! they are.
Quoting the above lines from Dyer, reminded
US Of the following somewhat similar ones in
Godsmilh's "DeserteA IHo2c:"
GLOW often have paused on c,'rr charm,
The sheltered cot, the cultivated farm,
The never failing brook, the busy mill,
The decent church that top thqneigh boring hill,
The hawthorn bush, withse beneath the shade,
For talking age and whispering lovers na,ir."
Partridges The shrill whistle Of purtlilges,
Or as they should be called, quails, comes up

THE GALLERY OF INDUSTRIOUS
AMERICANS
Daguereotypes by Brady Engraved by
D'Avignon

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 who have become
ilusrious in the service Of the country. Every por-
ton OF the work will receive the careful atten-
ton, and nothing will be spared to render it worthy
mad enduring monument to the great OF the Re
public.
MIR. Brady has been many years engaged at great
| expense, n collecting Portraits ior National Gal
lery, and those which being engraved for this
work believed to be superior to any that have
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 daguereotypes in TIE
highest the works OF art glowing with tie soul
of the living co,Intenance.
The drawings and engravinGs OF D'Avignon have
been pronounced by Europeans Of taste to be fully
equal and in some 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 inn
mediate supervision. The Typography will he exc
cuted carefully and in superb STYLE as the en-
cravings themselves. The entire work will DO on
the finest imperial folio paper, l6 by % ches, r.sdc
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in its scope il
win Therefore be comprehensive in its spirit The
names OF those men only admitted, whose talents
and public services have won for them honorable
fame throughout the nation. Each of the great de-
parmcnts of life will have its representatives Art
and Literature universal in their spirit, and the
Gallery is intended to be worthy and enduring mon
ument TO the great Of the Republic whose
achievements and fame constitute the chief glory OF
the nation We hope that every lover of Art, and
friend of our glorious Union, will respond to our ap
peal for encourage mcnt and aid in so commcndabc ar
undertaking. that its publication may make an era in
he progress of American Art, and by grouping TIC
illustrous of the Union together, consolidate it
still more firmly.
As no work Of this kind has appeared in America,
snd the prices they sustain in Europe would place
beyond the reach Of most OF citizens the publish
crs have resolved to merit large circulation, by
charging very low price They have, therefore,
established the following

ENLARGEMENT OF THE CAPITOL
IL The Committee on Public Buildings of the
Senate, having been authorized by resolution of
that body " to invite plans accompanied by est-
mates for the extension of the Capitol, and to al
low premium Of five hundred dollars for the
plan which may be adopted by the Committees on
Public Buildings of the two Houses of Congress, -
accordingly invite such plans and estimates, to be
delivered to the Secretary of the Senate on or be-
fore the first day of December next
1t is required that these plans and estimates
shall provide for the extension of the Capitol
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 reference to and correspondence with
the present building to preserve the general
symmetry of the entire structure when complete.
Although but one plan can be adopted the COM
mittee reserve to themselves the right to form such
plan by the adoption of parts of different plans
submitted should such course be found necessary in
which event, the committee also reserve to them
selves the right TO divide or apporton 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.
