eee eee ‘The Fine Arts. Orenine oy rue Ant Union Garieny.—This insti- ‘Vation, which has for its object the laudable sud na- ® fonal one of diffusing « teste for the fine arts through- out the country, and of uniting great public good with private gratification st small individual expense, wes thrown epen to the public on Saturday. The day was one of the finest of the season, a numbers of both the great majority being Isdies—avatled them- salves of the privilege to witness an exhibition of the paintings that have been purchased for the present ycar,and that will be distributed by lot among the mew bers at thi nual meeting, next Deowmber. In- deed, the numbers were ooo» ‘onally so great that the room was crowded to inconvenience.’ The paintings arranged around the walls amounted to upwards of seventy—sbout fifty ef them haviag been purchased by the institution, and the remaisder being there upon | exhibition. In consequence of the disadvantages under which we labored from the throng of spectators, we ebould like to repeat out visit before committing ourrelves to an expressed opinion om some of the ex- cellences or blemishes thet struck our eye; and, in- dced, at any rate, itwomld not be an easy matter to gives full and detailed account of the merits of all the various paintings in the exhibition, at one notice. ‘We regret, however, to say, that the exhibition, ara whole, fell far short of our expectations—even after making every allowance for the infantile condition of the institution where they were exhibited, and the president, im tbe obalt President, in a or r several days for preceding ‘vas Robert Req. yep tle (Omitted oF pa aa of the bat th Ward —Application from trustees for an ap. pescnpe yy ele = the expenses of one of ward; referred. ae Finance Committee im favor of a grant urchase a site for a school house between the eighteenth ward. of same committee, of $1,803 for extra ia Marion street. extra work, bow it happened to be mecessary.

Much ink has been shed, and mary speeches made on the subject of the Mexican protocol, re- cently placed before Congress by, the President. ‘The secret history of a document that has been the theme of so many pens and tongues, will not be unininteresting. ‘e have been cognizant of the facts, in part, since the ratification of the treaty, and have lately had them placed betore us fully, clearly, and sinusely, from authentic sources, and ley them concisely betore our readers, as a part of the history of the sapraioos, The very hour Messrs. Clifford and Sevier, our commissioners, arrived in Queretaro—and the co- incidence was deemed ominous—the treaty passed the Mexican Senate. That night, the peace party celebrated ite passage by fire-works, and other demonstrations of joy, The next day, the general in command of the garrison waited on the commissioners, and, playing the host, sat at the head of the table. Senor ogas, the Secre- ct State, paid several visits during the day, and was profuse in his attentions to the commissioners and the officers of their escort. Some of the raost respectable families in (uere- ded opposite the Americaa quarters, and es frequently appeared on the balconies, ing our manly and accomplished officers an portunity of admiring their exquisite beauty. Phat night it was learned that the four thousand troops in and about Mexico, were opposed to peace toaman. The great majority of the population, likewise, manitested their repugnance to amity, on the conditions proposed. In tact, if the power and opinion of all Mexico had been concentrated in Queretaro, there would have been no treaty then. We would have had to drub Queretaro out ot its vanity, as we did the capital. There was no use in pointing out to them that they had been beaten in every field, as an argument that further resis- tance was hopeless. They would reply, that they had been commanded by wefficient officers, cowards, and traitors, ‘* Let the Americans come to Queretaro, and we will show them what we can do,” would the war-dog add, as he turned on his heel, and pompous strutted off. This feeling, in its full extent, was latent, untit the Americans ap- peared. Their presence developed all its strength, Penay Pena, the then Provisional President and his Secretary, Rosas, both warm advocates of peace, became alarmed. ‘The second day the | commanding General failed to present himself in | the quarters of the commissioners. Rosas never | visited them but when business required it, and then the interviews were short, formal, and cold. The beautitul Senoritas, governed by the popular | feeling, were no lon er visible. Messrs. Clifford and Sevier observed this coldness. They imme- diately requested that the treaty be signed. The President and his Secretary hesitated. They pleaded that the nationa) seal was 1n the capital: that they had sent an express for it, and as soon a3 it arrived all would be right. The seal came, but the Mexicans quibbled and procrastinated until within afew days of the Ist of June, when the armistice would expire, and then, unless another armistice was entered into, hostilines would reccmmence. Messrs. Clifford and Sevier brought | these facts to the attention of Pena y Pena and Rosas, and .old them peremptorily that un- less the treaty was signed the next day they would prepare to depart, and instantly send an express to General Butler, at Mexico, for a sufli- cient escort to protect them to the American lines, and provide for the contingency of the armistice expiring before they could reach head- quarters. This fas Be the gentlemen to a sense of their peril, or rather the peril of the nation. Peace or war was to be decided on. They had no army, no cannon, no resources. They tully real- ized the faet that a continuation of the war would be the destruction of the nationality of Mexico. They at once consented to affix their signatures to the treaty, on condition the commissioners gave them something that would shield them from the fury of the war party, in case of an outbreak. The: were asked what they wanted? They explained. The condition was granted, and the protocol was given them for a burricage against their own coun- trymen, and for no other purpoge. It was no part of the treaty. It was not understood as such by either party, and it 13 evident the Mexicans do not look upon it as qualifying that instrument, from the fact that it has never been made public by them, The emergency tor which it was obtained did not arise, and it, was not used. Years may have elapsed before it would have fallen under the public eye, had not our inquisitive and suspicious Congress—very good qualities by the way—drawna it out.

Colonel Hodge, editor of the New Orleans Bul- letin, was one of the gentlemen who accompanied General Teylor on his route to Washingtoo. In one of his letters to the Bulletin, he gives the fol- lowing interesting account of the iron manufac- tories on the Cumberland river, in Tennessee. His obervations have an important bearing upon hs pohey of our own State, and of the whole th. “eT 8 the first time (says Col. Hodge) I have ever ascended the Cumberland, and was highly ratified with its general appearance, with the ua- wating appearance of the bauks, with alteraate high ground and meadow land. We stopped at some of the celebrated Tennessee iron works, on the banks of this river, where the manufaeture is carried through all its stagee, from the crude ore up to the finished bar iron. One of the rolling mills that we have visited was still in full aod extensive operation, though the suicidal tariff of 1846 1s press- ing with great weight upon its prosperity. These works, however, have one advantage over those on the seaboard, in competing with the foreiga article, by the additional cost of freight on the lat ter up from New Orleans, as they supply the wants of the interior, which the foreign article can only reach by incurring an additional freight and in- surance up the river. This advantage is not much, probably $4 or $5 per ton, but is still of considerable importance in a struggle for existence. he more [ reflect on the subject, the more I feel astonished at the fatuity of any man, or eet of men or party, opposing a system ot policy cacula- ted to promote and protect éstablishments of this kind. It appears to me perfectly impossible that any ene can overlook the great and obvious advan- tages of them, not to those only who are proprie- tors, or otherwise directly interested in them, but to the whole country. Here, in Tennessee, ani- mal and vegetable food are produced in such su- perabundance, that it scarcely gives a remunera- tive price ; and the want of « sufficient home mar- ket renders the supply so much greater than the de- mand, that it 18 either used in unnecessary pro- fusion or actually wasted. Large quantities of grain, particularly corn, are actually allowed to perish in the field, and it is no uncommon thing, 1n certain portions of the State, to use fine wheat to fatten hogs. It is establishments like these 1ron works and other manufactures, that furnish the home market for these productions ; and could the State of Tennessee withdraw one fourth or one fifth, or even one-tenth of her population trom agri- cultural pursuits, and empley them in mining coal and iron, and in manufactures, instead of her cultivators of the soil—obtaining, as they now do, two cents for fine fat beef on the > an twenty cents for corn, delivered in Nashville, and still less in the country—they would obtain one half more, or even double these rates, and in an equally increased ratio tor wheat, which sometimes 1s sold at thirty cents per bushel. Admut, for the argument sake, that the consumers of these articles do pay the American manufacturers some advance on the price of the foreign article, they would still be greatly the gainers by the enhanced price of their agricultural productions, particularly when they would be be- nefitted by that enhanced value upon the whole of their crop, whilst but a small portion of the pro- ceeds of it could be expended for manufactured ar- ticles. These very 1ron works practically illus- trate the theory, by the results they produce in their respective vicinities, where they add to the general comfort and wealta of the ‘surrounding country, by their large expenditure, and by furnish- ing a market for the produce of the soil, What policy can be more stupid than the one which com- pels the planter of Tennesgee to send his cotton, at a heavy expeuge and risk, first. to New Orleans, and from thence to Manchester, in order to be ma- nutuctured into negro clothing, and the latter taen to be brought back at a further expense and risk to New Orleans, and then again conveyed 1,500 miles ot river navigation to his residence, when all all the expense of these repeated shipments, with the various freights, insurances, commis. sions, landing and shipping charges, interest on capital and labor bestowed on the manufacture, could Le retained in his own State, by having his cotton mills on the spot, with the yaw material and the market for the manufactured article at his own door; besides obtatuing a regular aad advan- tageous home market for the grain and meat raised by his fellow citizens. The people of Tennessee were beginning to appreciate these advantages, and already upwards of thirty cotton mills were caubhabed: and in eperation in the State, and they could have rapidly increased but for the tariff of 1£46, which has had such a blighting effect upon enterprises ot that kind. But for that untor- tunete law, it 18 probable, ere this, Tenaessee would have, at this moment, manutactories in operation within her borders, that would have supplied her whole Leeann at least, with all the coarse cotton goods required for her consumption. Now, so faras she receives these oods from abroad, she gives to the foreign manu- facturer five bales of raw cotton as payment for one bale manufactured into goods; whereas, under the American system, she could manufacture this bale herself, and still have four bales to sell tothe foreigner, for which she would receive payments 1n specie or procure with the proceeds, other arti- cles of necessity, comtort or luxury.” Our venerable triend of the ‘plough, loom and anvil,” will eagerly and rightfully seize upon Col. lodge’s description of the iron manufacture in Tennessee, and its effects upon the agriculture of the neighboring country, as a valuable item m the eat catalogue of * which he 18 monthly col- lecting to establish his favorite doctrine, that agri- cultural prosperity is only to be attained by the en- couragement of manufacturing industry. ‘The fol- lowing article ot the Columbus (Ga.) | Zimes, also contains, in a bnet space, much useful matter for the consideration of Southern readers. “ Noticing the fact that the State of Massachu. setts manutactures boots and shoes to the value of some seventeen millions of dollars annually, the ‘Times remarks :— “The principal customer for these boots and shoes is the South.

We hope soon to see our shoes, saddlery, and hamess, and a hundred other branches of manu- | facture, in successful operation amongst us. “ This kind of industry isthe secret of Northern prosperity, and, if adopted here, will prove the talisman of ours. The marvel is, that the South is not poorer than she is. We raise but one crop that represents money and purchases our wants.— With that, we have to buy our stock of mules and hoge trom the West, and our manufactured goods from the East. The cotton crop 1s exceeded in value by the productive industry of several trifling articles of manutacture in New England. If we are not mistaken, the value of the leather manu- facture is tar ahead of it. We believe that the umbrella crop beats the cotton crop in value.— How, then, are we to get rich, by pursuing a sin- gle branch of business, and over-doing that branch, to the destruction of prices, and to the impoverish- ment of our lands? What the South needa, is di- vision of labor, variety of pursuits, and enterprise to develope the wealth that teems in our forests, | our water-courses, our hills and valleys.
