The Bulletin correspondent of the 9th of October
in critcising the different Photographic Pictures at
the last State Fair says:
con the opposite wall hang the contributions Of
J. Shew Of San Francisco These also are most cred
table specimens Of the Photographic art. Among
them is lfe-size head and bust Of Senator BrOder
ck-probably the most perfect which has been made
of the late Senator Side by side with these, hang
series of most wretched bels the art contributed
by one in Nevada. They serve, however, TO
set of to better advantage, the productions of more
skillful competitors.
AS that paper don't give the name of the artist who
send such pictures, it must be known, that A.
LIEBERT, the Photographic Artist of Broad street
published in the papers of Nevada that he was the
only in this city who sent pictures to the State
Fair.

A Response from Alabama.

We copied few days since, the New York
News's endorsement of the Mississippi nomi-
nation for the Presidency. We have now be-
fore US another glowing and significant ex-
pressian of sentiment from the other extreme
Of the Union. That able and thorough ortho-
dox journal, the Mobile Tribune, says:
1--WE assume that the nominee of the Conf
vention will be elected. The next thing is to
know who shall be selected There are fifty
good men at hand, and one of these-STAND
ING AT THE HEAD OF THEM-is
JEFFERSON DAVIS. He has three or four
strong recommendations for the Office First
he is an honest man-not mere politician
There is nothing of the demagogue in his ma
turd. He unites the highest intelligence with
the elevation Of the true Southern gentleman.
The Union is of value to him, but be does not
desire to save it at sacrifice of the rights Of
any Of the States. He is, therefore, s'con-
servative man-that is, desires to conserve the
constitution-not constituting conservative as
the sisonym OF compromising Secondly. he
has another quality which we think will be
important in the next President: He is SOL
der as well as ciyiliaa-not mere soldier.
but statesman soldier man who will com
mand as his enlightened judgment dictates
In other words, he unites the boldness of the
soldier-charaeter with the calm judgment Of
the statesman--in short more cultivated
Andrew jackson. Such a man, we think, is
the very person required for President in these
perilous times. Other men have as much in
tellectnal capacity as Mr. Davis, but, happily,
few OF them unite the promptness of the SOL
dier with the experience and habits of the
civilian. The union of the two qualities is the
composition Of our best Presidents"
