among our people an intelligent devotion
to the arts.
The equestrian statue of Washington by
Mr.. Mills involves another enterprise
worthy of the genius of that distinguished
American sculptor and of our Republic.
We allude to his proposed National School
Of Arts and Design-a school much need.
ed in our country, and which we hope to
see at once established at the seat ofGoy-
ernment.
Thereare three distinct national schools
which we should be happy to see estab-
lished and sustained by the United States:
4 School of Agriculture.
A School of Mechanics.
A School Of the Arts.
Our nation has the Military School at
West Point, and the Naval School at An
napolis. Both of these are an honor to
their founders and useful to the country.
Now let us have schools to encourage
agriculture, mechanism and the arts. We
are suffering at this moment, even in the
youth of our Republic, for the want of
these great national objects.
While, therefore. we would keep public
attention directed to Clark Mills and his
noble works, we would entreat our conn.
trymen to forser among our youth a love
of the plow and the anvil.

A perfect DaguerreetTpc of deceased
or absent friends is more precious relic than
gold or silver; but where to obtain one pos
sessing all the attributes of perfection is the
momentious question. Those who know the
artist say. without hesitation, go to WHITE
HURST whose admirable genius, and extensive
experience, combined with improved facii :.
ties in the way of instruments, lights, &C.,
precludes the possibility of an inferior por-
trait at his elegantly furnished establish

Mills Statue Of WASHINGTON.


We find the following paragraph in one
of our exchanges:
"For the construction of this work
Congress appropriated $4,000: but it is
stated by Washington CORRESPONDENT Of
the New York Tribune, that the artist,
Mr.. Clark Mills, has presented to Presi-
dent Pierce plan which contemplates
an expenditure of s2O0,0O0, taking the
present appropriation as but an install
ment. The President is said to discount
tenance it. Property tol 1ers in Wash
ington are said to be advo eating the plan
earnestly"
There are several Misrepresentation
in the above, which should be corrected.
It is not true that Mr. Mills has pre-
sented the President plan requiring
100000. he has merely intimated that
the $4,000 voted by Congress will not
be sufficient to complete the statue in a
style and on scale commensurate with
the name and character of Washington.
President Pierce, we have reasons for
stating, has not expressed any opinion of
the kind named. His sentiments will
doubtless be avowed, with his usual frank
ness, at the proper time. There is no
doubt, we apprehend, but that be will do
all ne consistently eau to encourage

.sNewsn.paper Enterpr.ss.


An article appeared in the Star Of last
Thursday, entitled "MAK1Ns HASTE Slow
LY," designed as good humored joke on
our contemporary, the Ne,rs, and as
ga spur to prick the sides of his INTENT
in the service of the city. The article
was suggested entirely by the proprietor
Of the Star, and he alone is responsible
for it, as he is for everything that ap
pears in this paper. It therefore exhib.
its bad cause and malicious heart, to
dodge the question of issue and make a
gross personal attack upon an irresponsi-
BILE individual who has no control over
the columns of this journal.
But our esteemed friend of the Neors
does not appear to have soregarded it. In
his issue of Saturday he makes this little
bit of pleasantly and competition quite
an important matter, becomes very angry
over it, and forthwith launches the thun
derbolts of his Indignation at one of the
clergymen and authors of our city!
Competition is said to be the life of
business, and we are fully determined
that the News land some others farther
off shall have enough of it. before we
are done. We are not to be frightened
from our purpose to serve the good peo-
pie of the national metropolis with an
Independent evening newspaper, by any
quantity of personal blackguardism or
abuse. We know our ground, and we
are determined to maintain it. The
scribbling malice that is vent upon us
because of our efforts to serve the public,
only goes to show the extent of these
efforts, and the signal favor with which
they are received.
If the Star had been a dull, stupid,
prosy paper-if it had been foolish enough
to delye in mere personal or partisan mat
ters-if it had shown loue for England
rather than America-if, in short, it had
been failure, it would have awakened
no envy and called forth no filings as its
Pickering light went down in the dark
ness Of an early grave. But as it is-as
the vivacity of the paper, it's true and
Jealous devotion to all the best interests
of all the people. without regard to party
or sect, have already given it a large daily
circulation, and an advertising patronage
that is steadily and rapidly increasing
we must of course expect that it will be
assailed by those who have neither the
tact, nor the ability, nor the energy to
achieve like success.
Let the CALLED Jade vince; our withers are
unwrung."
We shall go straight forward in our
good work of supplying such an evening
daily as is called for in Washington, turn
ing neither to the right hand nor to the
left, until the work is fairly and honora.

at, envied: but these things will not de.

Col. JEFFERSON DAv1s.-The Vicks,

Col. JEFFERSON DAv1s.-The Vicks-
burg Sentinel thus eloquently vindicates
this gallant gentleman and able states
man from the infamous assaults lately
made upon him. As to his seeking
place in the Cabinet, IRE know that he was
the first choice of the President, and nine
tenths of the Democracy of the nation
pointed to him for the station he now oc-
cupies. Fla accepted it reluctantly, and
only in compliance with the public will,
and at the urgent appeal of the Presi-
dent.
"The post of Secretary of War was
rendered to him without his knowledge or
wish. Col. Davis never solicited Office in
his life, that we are aware of, and never
accepted it for himself. He has always
accepted Office as a duty imposed upon
him, we mean political office: for it is
true, that in the time of war he sought
the privilege of leading Mississippi's
sons to victory. Besides that Office, we
know of none that he ever sought. He is
everything else but place seeker. He
is working man, ever ready to obey the
call of his party and his country. The
best proof of this is, that he resigned his
office of United States Senator when he
had six years to serve, and accepted the
call of his party to run for Governor,
when there seemed to be a dead majority
of some six thousand against him. He
place seeker! He would scorn it as he
does his enemies, and those who vent
their impotent spleen at him. His genius,
like the bold eagle, tries its pinions in a
higher and purer atmosphere. When
there is principle to fight for, he boldly
enters the list, and no ordinary foeman
dare face him, but when the scramble for
place comes, he leaves it to the ground
