The Attack on Fort Pemberton-Our Gum
boats not Materially Injured.

NEW ORk, March 70.
Special dispatches are very barren of news
this morning.
The Tallahatchie correspondent Of the Her.
aid gives an account of the attack on Fort
Pemberton by the gunboats DeKalb and Chill
licothe on the 18th inst, in which the latter
was struck thirty times, but without mate
rial damage. The DeKalb was struck about
dozen times and had one man killed and Owe
wounded. The day previous shell from the
rebels exploded in port-hole of the Chilli
Gothic, killing three and wounding eleven. The
attack was to lie resumed on the l4th. The
rebel General Tilghman is in command Of Fort
femberton. Our forces have erected small
land battery to cooperate with the gunboats.

A BEAUTIFUL. PIcrURE.-In passing Frost's
tailors's shop In Exchange street, our atten-
ton was attracted to a landscape view in his
window. Learning that it was painted by an
artist Of this town-young Frost-we stopped
to gaze upon it the more on that account, for
we wish to know what our native artists can
do, and to speak well Of their productions
when they deserve 1t. This view was sketch
ed from scene In ST. John, New Brunswick,
and q beautiful land and water prospect it Is.
We judge it was taken in a warm summers
day, when no breezes rufiied the surface of the
waters, and beautiful haze rested upon the dis
tant mountains, clothing them with garments
finer and. more delicate than the floating
gossamer. The young painter has given this
picture all such soft and beautiful touches,
the most difficult to produce upon the can
vas. There sits the husband upon log near
the door ofhis log cabin with Its plastered Chin
ney outside, and his wife and child standing
by, apparently In conversation about some do
mestic affairs. Some Of the cattle have gone
out on sand bar to drink, while Others are
Illuminating in the shade of some trees that
fringe the lakelet The mountains lift their
conical heads in the distance, and everything
looks natural and lfe-like. 1t is indeed very
beautiful picture, and the young artist Is enti-
tied to much credit for the skill and taste dis
played in this painting. Young Frost In land
scape painting, and young Simmons in sculp-
ture give early promise Of much fame In their
respective departments, and If they persevere
In the work nature seems to have designed
them to perform, they will assuredly acquire
it. Let them not turn aside, but pursue
straight forward course, and they will at last
reach that elevation for which SO many have
sighed and which SO few have been able to At
tain.
