JOHN PAUL ON ART.-John Paul devotes
his last letter, in the New York Citizen, to
the Exhibition of the Academy of Art, in
that city. He says that persons go to the
Academy on opening evenings to see the
pictures, is altogether fallacy. They go to
see each other; to promenade the spacious
rooms, and find excuses for conversation
All there are better representations of Ro-
meo and Juliet, IN these galleries than any
any that are catalogued; many pleasing pic
lures are painted under the soft gaslight,
which never find their way into public no.
toriety:
Among the pictures that attracted my
attention last evening, l may mention:
"a Study from Still Life"-The seizure of
a whisky mandatory.
1.-THE Happy Planter"-A man burying
his mother-in-law.
gnation"-Brgadier Generals hand
ing in their commissions.
How Happy could be with Ether
Scene in dentists rooms.
True to the Core"-Eve eating the
apple.
Enjoying the first Weed"-A widow in
her new black.
Aiming at the End'-A parent chastis-
ing Il child
patients ON Monument"--Bilious
looking person sitting on the High Rock
Spring at Saratoga, instead of buying the
water at 444 Broadway, where an enterpris-
ing member of the Paul family has establish
ed an agency.
But l have not time to mention all the
meritorious pictures, and 1 certainly have
neither time nor space to attempt the daubs.

OCTOBER.


Now is the Autumn of the year
The season so delicious,
When earth, so radiant, doth appear
A. thing almost fictitious.
What splendid pictures we behold
The woodland seems ATTIRE!
How beautiful, along each world,
The frost on fern and brier!
The maple shoots its glowing leaves
Like mcteors DER the meadow,
4 A F" milky-way" the streamlct weaves
10 Through light and tender shadow.
And blossoms, clustered here and there,
In wondrous variation
From snowy white to hucs less talr
Present each constellation.
Around the grassy pool and mere,
In lonely wooded places,
Winds blow that almost make one tear
OF seeing ghostly faces,
They are so mournful and so sad.
Anon the shady stiffness
Is startled by the woodcocks mad
Demonacal shrillness
On every air faint sweet perfumes
In mystic combination;
And every dying sound assumes
Harmonic meditation.
The clouds with gentle motions heaVe
In pillows white and creamy,
The dawn is almost like the eve
So tranquil and so dreamy.

REpuBLIeaN MEETING AT BEAUFORT.

| CARTERET COUNTY, Nov. 10, 1857. d
| The Courthouse was filed with men of
all colors and parties A crowded house is
always on hand when the name of c. r.
! Thomas appears on the bulletin. The meet
ing was called TO order by ]. G. Manson, and
on motion, Mr.. James Sample was unani-
mously chosen Chairman, and J. G. Manson,
Secretary. rs-y... szrr- r-g-r-
The Chairman explained the object of the
meeting in a very appropriate manner, and
pertinent to the occasion. Mr. Sample has
been grossly mlsrepresentcd by some OF the
political ultra journals of the day, but has
never condescentled to notice such unjust as
pensions. Mr.. Thomas's name being an
nounced, he was loudly called for, and made
his appearance amid the plaudits of the au-
dience ..r...
1t would be useless to attempt to give
even q gl1nlmering sketch of his speech. 1t
is to be regretted that such an able patriotic
address, could not have appeared in public
print, that all might read, and thereby be
benefited, especially those who are opposed
tn universal suffrage and the reconstruction
acts Mr.. Thomas is not in the habit of
making any speeches but such as are full Of
good sense, sound reasoning and so truthful
that none would dare the silly and futile
task of controverting them. His speech on
this occasion was listened to with unusual
attention. ...
Mr.. Thomas took his seat amid applause
and three hearty cheers.
The following resolutions were offered by
Mr.. F. w. Gibbe and unanimously adopted:
Resoloed, That the primary object of the
Republican party is the restoration of the
National government, upon a permanent
basis of justice and political equality of all
men who live under it. ..'. ....
Reso1oed, That we accept and will carry
out the plan of Congress in relation to re-
construction.
Resolued, That we as Republicans, do not
seek or desire contiscation of private proper
ty for past political offences. After an unan
imous vote of thanks to Mr. Thomas, the
meeting adjourned.

Few probably are aware of the extent OF
the cheese trade carried on by the United
States with England. The receipts OF
American cheese into Liverpool the past
twelve months exceeds 10000 TONS The
make of English cheese is 10000 tons an
nually; but the fine quality of the Ameri-
can cheese gives it preference to all but a
small proportion of this quantity. Prices
have ruled much lower this season, and it is
worth mentioning for the information of ex-
porters that in the Cheddar, the Double
Gloucester, the Derby, the Leicester, and
Wiltshire districts there has been large in.
crease of production this autumn.

for them en- nasse, and all the votes given

The Emperor of Austria understands some
tricks as well as an American politician
During his last visit to the Paris Exhibition
he was surrounded by dense crowd, among
which he perceived little girl struggling
in the arms OF her mother, and crying out,
Je reur Uoir emperor! q want to see
the Emperor.) He Immediately made his
way to the child. Kissing her on both
cheeks, he took her in his arms and carried
her to stall of 6on6ons, where he selected
the handsomest bag he could find: and then
brought her back to her mother. Of course
the crowd cheered Justify.

THE REBELLION CONTINUED.

The people OF this State have just
voted for The Congressional mode of
reconstruction by an immense ma
jority. Full time and the widest lati-
tude were given for discussion. Every
tongue and every press OF the opponents
of reconstruction was entirely free, and
they had the advantage Of the posses
sion Of the power and patronage of the
State, the County, and the Town gov
| ernments Their ablest men, with
Governors Graham, Bragg, and Vance
at their head, took the field against re-
construction, and were fully and fairly
heard by the people; and the result
has been their utter discontinue and
overthrow.
Under these circumstances it was
hoped that the so-called Conservative
leaders of this State would yield grace
fully and finally to the will of the peo-
pie. But not so. AS on former occa-
sions, when the people were anxious to
avoid civil war, and when, during the
war, they were anxious to ground arms
and return to the Union, these leaders
still resist the popular Will, and are
taking steps to thwart it in future cleo
tons. This IS nothing more nor less
than continuance Of the Rebellion
and the conduct of these leaders in this
crisis adds to their crimes. They have
shown that they have no respect for the
people, no solid regard even for their
own interests, and no affection for the
government of their country
If we must meet them again and de-
feat them, so he it. The Republicans
are thoroughly organized in every part
of the State, and they are elated with
their late glorious triumph We can
confidently say to these leaders, go
on in your unwise and reckless course.
The people will again handle you. A
Republican Constitution will be form
ed, and 1T aoiU be ratified No human
power can prevent this. The State
will then be returned to the Union on
loyal basis, with flying co1ors,-the
loyal alone shall rule, and the. enemies
of the people who are thus prolonging
the Rebellion and adding to the gener-
al distress, shorn of all their influence
and power, will be finally consigned to
harmless, if not an ignominous; oBscu-
rity. ,.r -. .--

Mr.. Babinet has reported to the French
Academy the following information with re-
cess of making coffee. If finely ground
roasted coffee be stepped in cold water, gas
will be evolved to an extent about equal in
volume to the quantity of coffee used and
this action will take place very rapidly, inso-
much that if bottle be half filed, with
coffee duly ground, and the remaining space
then filed with water until the cork is rea-
ched, an explosion will ensue sufficient in
force to expel the cork, or even break the
bottle.

Inc whole amount OF Internal Revenue
derived from the tax on raw cotton for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1857, was $23,-
769,O79 80; and although this sum COM
prlses nearly all the revenue derived from
the southern section of the country, and con-
stltutes an amount that can ill be spared
from the Treasury, yet, under all the circum-
stances, the Commissioner has no hesitation
IN recommending the immediate passage by
Congress of an act repeating the entire tax
upon raw cotton, and the corresponding
existing duty on imported cotton, the same
to take effect on its passage.
AS yet but a small quantity of the new
crop OF cotton has been marketed, but if the
repeating act be delayed to later period,
it will evidently work injustice to those
producers who may be forced to send their
crop forward Immediately, unless the re-
moval of the tax should be deferred to take
effect at the close of the present cotton wear
September 1, 1868.
IT repeal of the tax, to take effect i'm
mediately, should be enacted by Congress,
it is important that one contingency should
be efectually provided against. Contracts,
it is understood are proposed, and possibly
already made, for the purchase of cotton,
tax unpaid, to be held in store until the re-
pealing legislation of Congress has taken eff
fect-thus insuring to the Spectator, or ex-
porting buyer, gain equivalent to the
amount of the tax. It seems desirable
therefore, that the act of repeal should be SO
worded as to relieve from the payment OF
the tax only so much cotton as, at the date
named in the act, remained unsold by the
producer; all cotton having passed out OF
the hands of the producer to pay the tax, if
it has not already done so.
1t may be interesting in this connection to
mention that the COMMITTEES of the Commits
sloners OF the Paris Exposition, assisted by
