THE PAwNEE A FAILURE.-The Pawnee arrived
at the Washington Navy Yard on Saturday. Her
model is pronounced failure. She built by
Mr.. Grilfths, Naval Constructor, in pursuance of
contract independent of the Chief of Bureau of Con-
sruction. She is 300 tons burden, the largest of
the seven new sloops She took MIR. McLane to the
Gull, and has other service. There was a
defect in her main crank shaft, and new one had
been substituted lately at great cost. This is her
first time out.

We learn that Gen. W. o. Butler, one of the
Kentucky Commissioners to the Peace Conference,
reached his home in Carrollton yesterday. We
are informed that he thinks, with the venerable
John Tyler, of Virginia, that the action of the
Conference amounts to just nothing at all-that
the proposition agreed upon by that body should not
be accepted by the people of the slave States. Mr..
Clay and Gen. Butler voted against and opposed

Cincinnati, March 5.-The inaugural was re-
ceived by telegraph, and published in extras, at 4
o'clock p. NJ. yesterday. 1t is well received by all
parties, and, with few exceptions, regarded as
very sensible and judcious document, producing a
most favorable impression. 1t is generally con-
ceded that Mr.. Lincoln has laid down the only pol
icy for himself that he could have done and be con-
sistent with his duty and his official oath, and in
doing so he has mingled midness with firmness ad-
mirably.

THE TARIFF on IRoN.-Most certainly the new
tariff on iron is favorable to Pennsylvania. The
increase on Welsh or English bars will in future
be SIS per tom instead of S9.12, the present duty;
on watch spring, sleigh and horseshoe steel, the
advanced rate will be S25 per ton and on the finest
grades of steel, the increase is S25 per ton. 1t
is thought that the English iron masters will sub
nit to a reduction of at least 81 per ton in the
price with a view of meeting, as far as possible,
the restrictive duties Of the United States.

From the Wheeling Union. ]

Among the mere words of Lincoln's inaugural
the country will fasten its attention upon that part
which declares the relations which he proposes to
maintain with the Southern Confederacy. He de-
mics the independence of that Confederacy distinct
ly. From this denial must flow woes innumerabIe.
He declares his purpose to hold the forts and
collect revenue in the Confederate States. This
makes inevitable. The inaugural is decIa-
ration of war. 1t will be accepted in that by
the Southern COnfederacy. War, we believe, is
inevitable.

PORTRAIT OF AARON BURR.-The New York cor
respondent of the Winsted (Ct.) Herald, has devo-
ted half an hour, at the of Messrs. Williams
and Stedman, to the study of Yanderyns portrait
of Burr. He thus writes of it "To one who knows
Burr's character, the portrait is absolutely as
founding. Indeed, though heard it was there,
and went to see it, walked past it twice. looking
straight at it. and then directed to it by a
clerk. Imagine, as Aaron Burr, the soldier, mur-
derer, sedueer, dueSt, the rank and rotten profit
gate in politics, in morals, in business, the most
dacious and cunning of lawyers, plotters, traitors
imagine gentleman of early middle age, fresh
colored, with hair brushed up back from his fore
head and temples Ia sixty years ago, the upright
collar and elegant lace ruiiles of the time, deli
cate, clean cut nose, forehead and temples in no
way remarkable, arched, distinct eyebrows, eyes
of dark, liquid deep brown, lips full, chin
and finely chiseled, and about the eyes and
mouth most unmistakabe expression of sensitive,
almost feminine sweetness and purity and unso-
phistcated innocence. That is absolutely and def
nitely the character of the portrait. The owner,
gentleman in Brooklyn, will sell it, but does not
say for how much. 1t would be perfectly safe to
put it in your parlor and call it Portrait of q
young Methodist clergyman"
