AMERICAN scuIproRs IN ROME.

4 letter from Rome to the Boston Courier,
says:
Several of the American scnlptorS have
lately changed their studios. Mr.. Ives has
taken the studio formerly occupied b. Mr.. Bar
tholomew, Mr.. Story removed to the one vaca-
ted by Mr.. Ives, while Miss Emma Stcbblns
has established herself in Mr.. Story's old quar-
ters. Miss iIosmer has now studio by her
self in the Margutta, and in the same street
Mr.. Rogers and Mr.. Mozer have taken the
large apartments in fine building recently
erected.
"Mr. Ives has lately modelled statue OF
Undine, Miss lIosmer one Of ZenObia Mr. Mo-
zier one Of Esther Mr. Rogers has nearly fin
ished modelling the colossal statue of Gen. Mel
son for the Richmond monument, and his statue
of John Adams, ordered for the Mount Auburn
Chapel. will soon he ready for shipment. Sew
eral months since he sent to the Munich foun'
dry the cast for the bronze doors Of the capi-
tol, but he retains duplicate cast in his stu
dio, which attracts many visitors, and WINS
principal compartments Of the doors, repre-
scnting the following passages in the lille o.
Columbus: Columbus before the Council o.
Salamanca; his departure from the Convent OF
La Robda; his interview with Ferdinand and
Isabella; his embarkation at Palos; his flrs'
landing; his first encounter with the natives
his triumphal entry into Barcelona; his return
to Spain second time in chains, and ms

.. r,3bS'ss cl,y. The merchants in the interior
are giving the substantial proof Of their appre-
citation of the advantages claimcdby Richmond,
bv stopping here, in increasing numbers, to
make their purchases.
Our merchants were never better prepared,
either in the extent or variety Of their stocks,
to meet the increasing demand. Their sales
arc fully equal to the corresponding time of any
previous year, and would doubtless have been
rery greatly in excess, but for the impossible
condition of the roads, which has prevented
many merchants, who live at distance from
railroad dcpots, from coming TO market at their
usual time. They will, however, come and the
aggregate sales Of the whole season will be
very large.
The well known character of our merchants
for pecuniary liability, sustained by much
larger proportionatc real capital than IN any
other jobbins city in the country, enables them
to buy goods in the markets Of this country
and abroad, at the very lowest rates; and
the very small expense they are at in con
Quoting business, enables them to sell goods at
lower prices, upon the average, than they can
be afforded in Northern cities. While We in
yitc the attention of merchants to our market
generally, we do it especially to the dry goods
fancy goods, straw and millinery goods, gro

,rr,n np1r,ns AVN THE sou1H.

A correspondent Of the New York Times
writing from New Orleans under date of March
18th, takes very favorable view of matter
and things at the South. We extract portion
of his letter:
There is no ,lisputing the fact that the
Southern portion of the Coniedcracy is in a
highly prosperous condition-perhaps never
more SO. OF all the great staples produced,
the crops during the past year have been abun-
dant. sales active, and prices high. The re-
corded receipts of cotton at all the ports to this
date foot up three millions and seventy-ninc
thousand bales. The amount yet to come in
will exceed one million bales, giving crop
this year of over four millions of bales; and
when We reflect that Of this Great Britain takes
something more than three millions, We can
comprehend what ciiacher We have on that
old Kingdom Every department of business
in this city is exceedingly active and MONEY
abundant Transactions in exchange during
the past week reached the high figure Of three
and half millions Of dollars New York mus;
soon feel the effect Of the highly prosperou,
state Of affairs to which allusion has been
made. The South is getting out of debt and
beginning to accumulate surplus capital.

only temporary expetlent, which promises

Is only temporary expedient, which promises
no permanent peace: If the Republicans "a
year from now feel "strong enough to carry
the country pcrse," they will spurn alliance with
the Old Line Wings and Americans; but if not
strongcnough, "thcy will look about for an avail.
able candidatc;" and, for the sake of .,ayai!a.
bility," they will sink the slavery question:
They will not settle the disturbing question per
mancntly, but for availability, they will tenn.
porarily sink the question, to be revived when
availability shall demand its services in the iil.
turc.
The course Of the Opposition in Virginia
holds out encouragement to agitation of the
slavery questions their practice falsfies their
professions and shows that the thirst for pow
er is the only incentive that prompts their op.
position. \ real patriotic desire TO sink the
slavery agitation, would never have revived the
discussion ofthc question they profess to desire
to see removed from the political arena
The effort of this New Third Party" is to
give national organization to party sectional
in its principles, aims and objects; to national
ize Black Republicanism without changing its
purposes; to give national name to 4 Sec
tional party, and sinking the slavery agita-
tion," with the hocus pocus of availability. win
triumph over the South and the National
Democracy.

The Protection of Slavery in New Mexico.

The act of the Legislature Of New Mexico
protec'ing s'arery and prohibiting emancipa-
ton, is but the recognition of the true princi-
Constitution wherever that instrument extends,
unless prohibited by some sovereign act. The
law Of God" which Mr.. Webster thought
forbade slavery in these Territories, is now
found to have no existence whatever. The
institution requires protection but not estab-
lishme1t.
This act of the Legislature Of New Mexico
is perfectly legitimate anu within the sphere oi
its constitutional duties. The Constitution hav.
ing carried the institution into the Territory,
according to the Dred Scott decision, the right
of its protection no man shoul1 deny

THE SEVENTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT

The Congressional contest in this District
is very animated. Mcssrs Smith and Shackcl
ford, both Democrats, are opposed by II. W.
Thomas the present Senator from the Fairfax
District. Some Of the counties desire Il Con.
vcn,icn, or at least have appointed delegates,
while others have declined. Some haze en-.
dOrscd Mr.. Smith, while others have not. Mr..
Smith claims to be the Democratic candidate
by virtue Of meDmbeacy and Mr. Shackclford
presents the same claim by virtue Of rotatioa ;
and as both doctrines are sustained bv very
high authority, it is hard to say who should
give way. At least. with the Indifference Of
the Democracy as to the defeat of both, by Mr.
Thomas, as evidenced by failure to call a
Convention Of the party, it would not become
us to offer any advice in the premises.
