THE FINE ARTs.-Por traits of Bishop
Gibbons, Rev. Drs. Minngerode and Peter
kin, and DR.. Taliey, of South Carolina,
PAINTED by Mr.. Albert Guerry, may be seen
at the store of McsSrs. j. Fl. Tyler II Son.
Public attention was first directed TO MT.
Query by his portrait Of General Lee,
which is faithful and brilliant representa-
ton of that true soldier and Christian man.
The lkenesses now on exhibition are not
less life Ike, and are marked by the same
peculiar richness and softness of colornS.
The yestments and whole person of Bishop
Gibbons seem enveloped 10 an empurpled
atmosphere, which gives suggestive
warmth and sunset glow to the picture. The
smile which plays quietly and softly over the
face of DR.. Peterkin is recognized at once as
true to the benign expression Of the oIlgl-
nal. The skillful management of the lights
and shades of DR.. Minnigerode's portrait
brings out his person in the boldest relief,
and with happy effect. The coloring Of DR..
TalIey's is strlkingy beautiful, and gives the
best illustration of Mr.. Guerry's peculiar
dse of his pigments. His theory OF colorS
rests on the principle of Sir David Brew
ster, as shown by the solar spectrum that
three color.eements underlle the rays OF hight;
and hence, that all coorlng which is true TO
nature must be the combination Of these
elements. This analysis of light, he thinks,
NAV have been the ground OF the last and
| inimitable Grecian and Venetian coloring
art and settles this part of his profession on
purely scientific basis. He further holds,
| with regard to the ideals for his canvas, that
they should be conceived in darkness and
gradually brought out in grey dawn. and
then in full light. This suggestion is dc.
rived from the order Of Divine creation and
a daily phenomenon Of nature. On
the accuracy of this theory we do
not feel ourselves equal. to critic al
Judgment But it strikes our mind as at
once beautiful and phiosophic, and certainly
gives, in such precedent, an inspiring method
| for developing the creatures OF genius. Our
own knights of the Easel will doubtless wei
come to The city their brother artist OF South
Carolina. Honorable rivalry Is the lille Of
progressive civilization, and we trust that
our citizens Will give such encouragement to
| these gentlemen and others OF kindred arts
that our city may be as noted for her own
handiworks of beauty as for the rare gifts
which nature has lavished upon her. de
sderatum of Firginia's metropolis is 4 GAL

UNION MINES, CHESTERFIELD COUNTY,
June 80, 1874.
To Editors Of Dispatch,-lt may seem
strange TO you to hear from this part OF our
congressional district, but as we nave neeh
so fortunate heretofore in our recommendi-
ton of officers. and have never made failure
to have the office we'll filled, we would now,
as we have heretofore done, recommend to
this congressional district the honored name
of his Excelency Ex-Governor &. c. Walker
for our representative in Congress-not only
on account of being man of great ability,
but we feel we owe him debt Of gratitude
for the services he has already rendered the
State when we could not help ourselves, aud
whilst he carried out the laws that he did
himself credit aud offended none. In the
foregoing we are sure we utter the unanimous
sentiment of the Conservatives OF this sec
ton, for no one would more perfectly unite
cur people than Governor Walker. y.
