and plantedTof Talbot. <s.*. are engaging in thewqrl; with coin(nendable zeal and confidence. 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.

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. MARRIED, On the sth inst., by Rev. John C. Traylor, Mr. F. A.
