Kellogg and otber artusts speak with approbatioa. In fact. only an artist cam appreciate the difficulties of dealing with a lank. long-limbed figure 1 modern costume. The-e difficulties have been met more successfully than ia any previous attempt, partially by the use of the cloak (sach as worn by Mr. Lincoln) as an adjunct of dra- pel t so slightly used as not to idealize the homely, wel!-remembered figure out of popular recognition. Miss Ream has thrown herself with true artistic enthusiasm into the work of achieving a worthy representation of the martyr President; amd the brave little ‘woman who bas pursued art underso many disadvantages certainly deserves success.

Mr. Pollard shows that Smythe knew him and the members of his family perfectly well, And that instead of removing him he procured him to “resign,” with the distinct agreement that he was to continue his salary; the resigna- tion dodge being simply to stop clamor and save Smythe from losing any votes on his coa- firmation as Minister to Russia, Said Smythe, with an interse wink, You resign, as at my Tequest—be particular to pat it as a! my request— and I sha’nt appoint any successor to your Place. and your salary can goon. You see the game I shall make oa these f-llows.” Pollard goes on at some length detailing his subsequent dealing with the slippery candidate for diplo- matic honors. It presents altogether a curious chapter ot New York political ethics; but altogether too long for our use. As the Senate has decided not to act on nominations for the Test of the session, Collector Smythe’s little game on “these fellows” will mot be likely to prosper.

The force in the Sovthwest District, was opposed by an armed band, with which it hed a conflict at Centre Pot, Lutle River county. resulting in the killing of several of the insurrectionists. the capture of others, of arms, &c.. and the disper- sion of the remainder A band also organized to resist the force in the Northwest District. near Angurta. but the persons composing it were persuaded by citizens of that town to dis- perse without a conflict. ‘The result of the plan adopted has been that the substantial, Inw-abiding citizens of the several counties placed under martial law ve held meet Pledged themselves to support the civ: thorities and to assist the civil officers when "y in the performance of their duties. In county where these guaranties have been given the civil authority bas been restored, and martial law now exists in but one or two counties, and it will doubt- less soon cease to exist in the State. As regards the alleged outrages by the mil- stary, the reports thereof, Gen. Ayres says, are great exaggerations. and many of them pure fabrications. He states that it would be im- Possible anywhere to call mto existence a force, as this bas been, for tem pur. poses, and not have violations of orders and military law. There was no other way to maintain the militia, but to subsist it on the country, collecting supplies by a system of contributions levied on the people, giving re- ceipts therefor, with a view tofuture payment, and he has been sssured that the commanders used their beet endeavors that this chould be done in a proper manner. heast, and com- Tue Dears or Bakes, THE OUTLAW letter from Jefferson, Texas, Jan. oth, say: Cullen Baker, the outlaw and wholesale mur- derer, bas fipally been killed, and what would appear to be the strangest circamstance, be was killed by asort of x gbost—a dead man came to Life again.
