WHEN in the course of human events it b

age or condition in life, to get likeness taken,
Just regard for their own interest, and a due con

them to enquire where they can expend theil
money to the best advantage, and where they can
obtain the most beautiful, perfect, and durable
picture.
There was time, perhaps, long years ago,
when the art was in its infancy, and no one ex-
pected to get more than tho mere outlines of a
shadow, when it would not have been difficult 10
answer such question, but at the present day.
when there are scores of DISCONTINUED youngsters
making haste to ''learn the business" forgetting
that nature designed them to till the SOIL or shove
the plane to forge the iron or flourish the paint
brush, and that it would be more crcdirabIe 10
themselves and far better for the public at large
if they would "stick to their last and awI, in
stead of producing the miserable abortions which
they cOmplaoently thrust before the people AMI

The Pr esident elect arrived at this city

here caused much speculation. One explain

the highest Importance.
1t is announced that Gov. Pickens con
siders it unnecessary to keep large military
force on foot for the defence of the Harbor,
and has withdrawn the military from Morris
Island.
Another evidence Of Ex-SecretaTy Floyd's

TTNHE friends of the administration have
known for two weeks, or more, that Dewey's
New Smoke house was the Magazine whence sup
plies for the campaign now opening, were to
come; but everything was so developed in the
spoke OF preparation, that no ono ventured 70
look closely into the matter until yesterday when
the injunction to secresy was removed, and the
doors were opened Then was revealed the un-
mistakeable " sectional procivities of our popu-
iatlon; instead Of the " entire animal about
which go much is said, GO Ham was the cry, and
Ham was the section seized upon by the gallant
sons Of the North.
So energetic was the attack that the statu QUO
ante beiium (Which means the condition Of thugs
6efare the snoke-hOuse roas opened,) was quickly
changed-but who thinks Of secession! So far
from tit Is believed the broils consequent upon
this invasion will strengthen the "union" already
existing between generous public and
it's servant DEWEY.

yesterday is much changed from the original

attempts TO engraft amendments upon it, its
defeat is certain. The speech of David

Mr.. Dawes of Massachusetts,, upon the
traitorous course of Secretary TOucy, Is
much praised as a document of great ability.
