in numbers and equipment, also weighed from the
inner harbor, and kept upa continued interchange
Of shots. About shutdown, the imperiasts fleets
having formed junction, anchored within mhe

The patriot squadron took up position IN front

A Discovery highly interesting 70 artists has

Discovery highly interesting 10 artists has
been made recently by the celebrated French
painter, Horace Vernet. II consists of mixing the
colors with olive oil instead of the usual maguilp,
and when the picture is completed the back Of
the canvas is coated with fnller's earth, which
draws the oil through and absorbs il entirely. The
painting is thus reduced TO the nature of paste.
The fuller's earth is then removed from the can
vas aud coat of Iinseed oil is appled-always at
the back the colors imbbe this OIL and is stated
that all those superbly rich mellow tones by which
the old masters are distinguished are thus repro
duced.
Boundary Dispute between Georgia and
South Carolina has been in progress for some
time past, and Governor Cob, in his last message
TO the Georgia legislature, recommends the adop.
ton Of a suggestion of the attorney general of
South Carolina, that provision be made immedi-
ately for submitting the question OF boundary TO
the decision of the U. s. supreme court.
Plugging In the Nayy.--Judge Curtis, OF the

bidding logging in the navy and commercial
marine prohibits only fogging by the cat, and no
other way.

Matrimony.-When, about a week ago, a
marriage ceremony was performed in new
church, only two days before dedicated, we sus-
pec,ed that the young minister would very soon
thereafter be required 10 consummate similar

was a, tina, time dense crowd Of spectators, in
GLIDING not few matrimonial candidates. We
were not disappointed in our anticipations; tor,
lust one week after The first occurrcnce--on Tues
day nght--another couple were united in holy
bonds. Il is probable, Judging from the effect OF
example, that many more such alliances will be
formed, and we should no, be surprised TO see the
minister himself yielding TO those gentle influences
which have taken captive hearts less sensitive
than his own TO the tender passion

Death of Gen. Robert Stanton.-The Nat
chez Courier of the 9Th notices the death OF Gen.
Robert Stanton, who died near that city, of yellow
foyer, on the Sd. The Courier says:
General Stanton was in the 3lst year Of his age.
A native of this county, his boyhood and youth
spent among its lovely hills, he finished his educa-
ton at the University in Cannonsburg, Pennsyl-
vania Returning from college, his talents and
popularity gave him at once position in the politi-
tal party 10 which he attached himself; and he has
the honor of being the only democrat ever elected
to the legislature from the county of Adams. Dur
ing the early part of the past summer, he stood
prominently before the people as candidate for
Congressional honors, and although his friends
were not then successfulin obtaining their wishes,
there was little doubt but that at far distant day.
his claims would have been fully acknowledged,
by his receiving all the honors his party in this
ton could bestow.
General Stanton was seized with the epidemic
on Saturday night last. From the first hours Of
his attack he anticipated fatal termination, and
made his preparations in view OF the rapid closing
Of his earthly career. His body was borne 10 its
final resting place by large number of friends,
and deposited in a spot selected by himself for
that purpose, upon his own wide domain at Windy
Hill, in this county. Green should be the turf
that grows over that lonely grave, for enduring
and ever fresh will be his memory among all who
knew him.
ns- About o'clock yesterday morning, the
rear wall Of the building No. Is Vandewater
street, formerly occupied as a Mission Church,
and more recently as rag warehouse, fell with u
tremendous crash, burying several persons under
its ruins, one Of whom named Bridget Hanlon,
was killed. Her body was recovered soon after,
and taken to the 9TH ward police station. John
Dunn, laborer, severely injured and was taken
to the hospital. The others were but slightly hurt,
and went TO their homes. The building was de-
stroyed by FIRE on the night of the 4th instant, the
walls remaining standing. The persons injured
were gathering sticks at the time. The high wind
