Portrait Pa inti no.—We invite the attention of
the public to the advertisement of Mr. Maier, an
Artist, who lias been sojourning some months in the
city, in the business of his profession. He is said to
have been quite successful in taking the portraits of
children, which is acknowledged to be one of the
most difficult achievements of the Painter’s art.
Call and view the specimens of Mr. Maier’s skill
even if you do not desire to encourage him.
State Convention.— The Fourth Monday of June
will probably be agreed upon as the time for holding
the Democratic Convention, for the nomination of a
candidate for Governor of this Commonwealth—the
first Monday being deemed too soon for the conveni
ence of some of the Lawyers in the South-western
part of the State, who wish to have a finger in that
political pie. We have not learned whether anv one
has thought of the convenience of the democratic
yeomen of the Sta,te, in the matter of the time of meet
ing, or whether it is ascertained that the 4th Monday
of June will suit that class as well as any other pe
-tfod. If so, we have no manner of objection to the
day specified.
Letter from Vera Cruz. —The following extract
is taken from a letter written to A. P. Jones, Esq. of
this city, by his son, who is a member of Capt. Cal
houn's company, Georgia Regiment. It shows that
the Boys were actuated by the proper spirit, in the
hour of danger.
Encampment around the Walls of }
Vera Cruz, March 24,1847. £
Dear Father: I take advantage of the moment to
direct you a few hurried lines, that you may know I
am well, and that we are all in fine spirits, although
the prospect before us has a rather gloomy appear
ance. I left Tampico on the Ist inst. We were 21
days at sea, and landed here day before yesterday.—
_Yy£-_a]mosL,suffered shipwreck—being part of the
time entirely out oF wafer.
There have been scattering reports of cannon kept
up for the last ten days, but on the evening of day be
fore yesterday, at 3 o’clock, the firing commenced in
real earnest, and has been kept up ever since. There
have been about thirty on our side killed; the number
on the enemy’s side not known, but supposed to be
numerous. Gen. Worth has charge of the principal
batteries, which have not been opened yet, but will
be in a day or two.
The enemy has no idea of surrendering the city,
amd we have no idea of leaving here without having
possession of it. It may be some time yet before we
can force an entrance, but we are determined on hav
ing one of some sort or other, even if we are losers
in the operation.
Peace Proposition.— The. Mexican journals
publish the following as the proposition for
peace, recently transmitted to Mexico by the
United States :
A commission ehnll be nnmed to arrange tilt: conditions.
This commission shall bn composed of Messrs. Renton end
lltichanan and one. member of Congress of the opposition,
and two .Mexican commissioners. The commission shall
assemble wherever the government of Mexico may appoint.
The V . S. demand the parallel of 26 degree* of latitude,
from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific,as the dividing line.
The L'.S. will pay $15,000,000 in cash, for the territory
occupied,solemnly engaging not to exact or claim any ex.
fienaea of the War. These expenses arc estimated atabont
$13,000,000 —consequently the If. States consider that they
would pay twenty-eight million* of dollars fur the lerrito
ry described.
The U. S. cttarnntce that it will never consent that any
territnrr or .State of Mexico shall be annexed to the Ame
rican I'nion; it equally guarantees the sovereignty of
Mexico, especially her territory south of the parallel! 26.
The U. S. will place 10,000 men, infantry and cavalry,
upon the boundary line, to prevent anmggling, and the in
cursions of Indians.
The U. 0. ongaga to adjust all disputes about old claims,
An alliance olfeiixive and defensive shall lie signed be
tween ihn United Slntea ami Mesicoto repel all European
intervention in tit* nlVairs America.
Arornt ie authorised bv the U. 8. Gotrrnmant to ad-,
Juet the terms of the treat* of peace. ‘
MRcst Measure. —The Adjutant advises us not to
meAsure other people’s morality and sense of duty
out of our half bushel, because “a right honest man
wouldn’t get justice in the measurement.” lie sure
ly forgets that we have not been trying to measure
“a right honest man,” since we undertook to fathom
his capacity —a much less utensil being sufficient to
take the guage of that!
Ridiculous. —The Adjutant flatters himself that
our “ malicious ” charges against him have recoiled
upon us with such force as to make us “ ridiculous.”
If so, we have no advantage over him, since the mem
orable day that lie came from the wars, with his maid
en sword unsheathed, and not even a Mexican scalp
to show as a trophy !
Mean Things.—We have a talent that way, says
the Adjutant, though the manner is “bungling.”—
Perhaps ; hut he can lay claim to pre-eminence, even
hero. He has so long cultivated his genius in the
same line, as to do “ mean things ” without bungling.
It has become a second nature to him !
O’ “ Speaking of Guns,” we are reminded to en
quire of the Fugleman or quondam trumpetPr to the
Colonel of the Georgia Regiment, by what canon of
the church it is, that, he is so devoted to billiards
nightly at the “ gentleman’s club room,” as to forget
the hour of arrival of the Western mail!
That Likeness. —The Adjutant says that our late
sketch was a “ full length portraiture of a downright
lie, from beginning to end.” Very likely, as “ Dandy
Jack” himself sat. for tiie picture !
“Grave and Cankister.” —Wishing to improve
the Adjutant’s personal experience in “ grape and
cannister” warfare, in a knowledge of which he is
necessarily deficient, owing to bis being taken with a
“sudden leaving” one day on the Rio Grande, we
have thought it best to giro him a sample, this week,
of this mode of doing up belligerent matters. If that
does not suit his erratic propensities, wc shall bring
out our Paixhan and see what virtue there is iH heav
ier ordnance.
