Ma. WALTON Your correspondent, IN
his communication of Mr.. Ilersey's ambrotype
pictures, said not more than facts fully jusii-

rooms he might have said as much in appro-
baton of that gcuteman's Photographs, cs-
pecially the likcnesses Of our State Senators.
That group, $50 perfect and lifc-lke) reflects
great credit on the artistic skill Of Mr.WhIte
and entities him to liberal patronage.
The particular advantages Of this mode Of
taking pictures are their cheapness, and con-

General .ScoR-Aiter all the talk about
this veteran officer and his back pay, II is
stated tina, the amount TO be allowed him is
scarcely one quarter of what he claims 49,
The award is about Sl0,500, which pay is by
virtue Of his brevet appointment, from March
lsl7, or about $1,000 a year Ia addition to
his pay as Major General. Ii is SAID that he
would be entitled to some 100000 or S3O. 900
altogether, which would have been promptly
paid him but for the Secretary OF " ar, who
has during eight months past, placed every
obstruction possible in the way to prevent
General Scott from obtaining his Just dues.
The General Is now represented to feel quite
indignant at Tie course Of the Secretary of
War, and 1t is said he will reject the pittance
rendered, and again appeal to Congress.

umns Of FIRE, some perpendicular, o'he's
curved, shot up from the lake distance VI
ten or fifteen degrees, IN rapid successor
while IN other parts of the sky were 'isioi7

cruelty refers to our misfortune in the way

fence of brother WALTON, as to the effects
OF that disease upon the temper and vision
of the unfortunate sufferer from il, but we
