The Uses OF INDIA RUBBER-Among the
latest purposes for which this important article
has been used, is that of making buttons, and
the experiment promises to be abundantly sue
cessful, it having been already adopted by the
United States Navy, and by many of the larg-
est manufacturers of clothing, which argues
well for its superiority. The many useful and
ornamental articles made from India Rubber
in this country stamps it as peculiarly Ameri-
can, as no other country in the world can com
pete with US in the manufacture. The Rubber
Canes, whose beauty rival the finest wood, the
pencil cases, combs, &c, show by their gene

and we doubt not that this last application

That CIRoULAR.--The Union and american
undertakes to make the impression upon its
readers, without positively saying as much,
that we doubted the genuineness of the Circn-
lar of the President of the State Council Of the
American party, calling meeting of that body
in this city on the 9th of October, which was
published simultaneously in the Union and
American and Banner, and on Tuesday last in
the True Whig. OF course that paper has no
warrant for such barefaced piece of effrontery.
The fact is, the Union and american got hold
of copy of this circular, and believed at
once that it was secret" and that it would
make a decided hit by exposing" it. But, IN
fortunately, it was published in the Banner, by
order of the President, on the same morning on
which it appeared in the Union, and would
also have been in the True Whig of that morn
ing, but for the Intervention of circumstances,
which prevented it from getting in type. The
Union has thus been Yictimized by some wag,
who pretended that he was making disclosure
to him, and of course feels sore under it. Our
neighbor is monOmaniac upon the subject of
''secresy," and with all its astuteness, can't
help putting its foot in it," occasionally.

PHOToGRAPmo MINIATURE PoRTRAITs.-Ar
has achieved signal triumph in the introduc.
ton of crystalotype licensees. In the hands
of competent artists, Photography is destined
to supersede miniature painting on ivory alto
gether. The process is simple and sure. The
likeness is first daguerreotyPed on glass, and
then transferred to a veryfne paper, prepared
especially for the purpose. They are then
colored to the life. The likenesses thus taken
has all the accuracy of daguerreotype, and
all the beauty and finish of painting. They
are much larger than the ordinary miniature,
and can be furnished at about one-fourth the
cost Of the latter We notice that our old
friend, J. W. DoDGE, formerly of this city, and
whose skill as a miniature painter is well
known here, has been for some time taking
likenesses upon this plan. He is associated
with Mr.. AUGUSTUS WENDERoTH, one of the
finest artists in the country. We have before
US highly complimentary notice of their pic
lures from the St. Louis Republican.
We are pleased to learn that Messrs. Dodge
g. Wenderoth will be in this city early in Oc-
tober and will open rooms for short stay
With the high reputation which Mr.. d. enjoys
here, and the acknowledged talent of his assn
ciate, there can be no doubt that they will find
a lucrative patronage ready for them.
