Having found it Impracticable to record all that
IS worthy of honorable and lludaory notice, in
one or two Fern-Ieaf communications, we proceed
to speak of other enhancing scenes, and the differ
ent classes Of society, not leaving Oh, Of view the
upper Ten.
Standing at The corner of what was, in days of
yore, an eminent lawyers office, and behoiding
the delightful grounds and edifces of Messrs. AS
bury and Carson on the left, and Of Messrs. B.
Fl. Davidson, Williams, White and Johnston on
the right, the eye is greeted with panorama of or
der, elegance and beauty, which is not surpassed
by the richest and fairest portions of Boston or
PhiIa delphia. For the greater part, if not all OF
this, they indebted to the ladies' and not doubt
ing that others are often similarly engaged, we
perceived that Mrs. Davidson was employing her
superior judgment and taste, and for the exercise,
was adorDng and beautifying her attractive home.
None can pass the present residence Of Mr..
Elms, or enter and enjoy his liberal hospitality,
without realizing that all within as we'll as the ex.
terror, Is invested with an air OF ease, abundance
and comfort, and that the multiplicity Of large
business transactions in which he is always sue.
cessful, does not prevent him from excelling in
artistic arrangements for domestic happiness and
convenience His grounds were laid off by pro.
fessed artist, according to the most acceptable and
approved rules of the science, and are a beautiful
specimen of landscape gardening. His benevo.
lent and amiabIe lady, like Mrs. Osborne, possess
cultivated intellect and very entertaining col
loquial powers, as we'll as accomplished and W.
bane manners and appears, as she should be- among
the happies of her sex.
The physicians OF your city occupy deserved
ly high position in the estimation OF the enligh:.
ened public. Living as they do where all needful
information accessible, receiving all the medical
journals, and enjoying frequent opportunities of
consultation, they fully prepared to attend to
important at the shortest call, Without
making invidous comparisons, Qor none are in.
tended,) we light point out some who could flu
emily deliver instructive lectures on the science of
medicine, and others who could compose finished
essays on Anatomy or any other collateral sub.
jects, and still others who could perform the most
delicate and difficult operations Of surgery. Two
or three wellread gentlemen of the profession
have established drug. stores, and one equally well
qualified, in every respect, is associated with Mr..
Parks, and we fear, will bury his talent in The
mercantile business. DR.. Andrews is deeply
versed in the science and very successful in Den.
tistry, and in our judgment, merits higher deg rec
OF praise than he has ever received, for his beau.
tiful and we'll classed cabinet OF minerals The
Trustees Of some literary Institution or Academy
of Fine Arts, would do we'll to secure so invalua.

Not being intimately acquainted with the gen.
ilemen OF the bar, and having heard them but
seldom, we cannot speak OF them with minuteness
and certainty but of one thing are assured by
testimony and personal knowledge, that all claims
entrusted 10 their will receive prompt and
successful attention. One Of them, Mr.. Myers,
represented the county with distinguished ability
in the last legislature Of the State, and there is
every reasonable prospect Of his being returned
one " bright particular STAR in the constellation
who is famed beyond his native State for ready,
anma ted and captivating eloquence. His address.
and appeals to jury, especially on criminal
cases, are the most touching, pathetic and sublime
We have ever heard. We allude to the celebrated
James w. Osborne, Esq.
Although your citizens are greatly disposed
as any others 10 cultivate the arts of peace, yet,
when The voice of the people call for war, they
have ever shown themselves willing and able to
defend their country. Major Caldwell and Lieut..
Davidson stand prominent as modern patriots, and
many ch"ice and noble spirits, enIisting under
their banner and proceeding TO the hostile plains
Of Mexico, evinced their resolution to subdue the
enemy or die by the sword in a strange and friend,
less land.
Having sent forth these few "sray arrows,'
we shuI unbend the bow and lay The culver near
the Railroad Depot, and hoping it may soon be
replenished, We bid an afee,iohate adieu for the
present. TRANSEENS.
