since he has been called to the Chief Magis-

at the hands of the artist, Mr.. J. w. Dodge, Of

portrait Is OF large cabinet size, and is pro.
nounced by all who have seen it as admirable,
both as likeness and as picture. The ex-
cediehce OF ane expression is due in some de-
miliar with the features of the President for
years he having resided near MIR. johnson in
Tennessee. from whence he was obliged to f1y |
az the breaking out OF the rebellion, leaving all
his property.
