Some years parsed away and still John Banvate foi that was bis name, dreamed of being a painter. What he was in his wak'n; working moments, we do not know pro'wb y a .MocUaaie; but at al! events he found time to turn over and over spain the great thought that hiunted him till at length befure he had yet attained hii twenty-first rear, it assumed adistinct anl tangible shape ia his mind aad he devoted hiinwlf to its realization. There mingled no idea of profit with his ambition, and iaa deed strange to say w can learn nothinir of any aspiration he may have felt after artistical excellence. His "grand object, at he himself informs as, was to fdsify the aseriion, that America had no artists commensurate with the grandeur and ex tent of her scenery, and to arcomplhh this by producing the largest painting in the world. John Banvard was born in New York and raised in Kentucky:' but he had no patrons either among the rich merchaata of the one or the wild enthusiasts of the other whose name his become a synonyme for all that is good, bad and ridiculous in the American character. Ha was self taught and when he determined to pmut a picture of the ahorea of the Missitnipi which should be as snperior to others in point of tizt as that prodigious river is, superior to the streamlets of Europe he was obi iced lo he take himself for some time to trading snd boating ni on the mighty stream, in order to raise founds the purchase of mate rials. But this was at length accomplish ed and the work begun. His first task was to make the necessary drawing and in executing this he spent four hundred daya in the manner thus described by him- "Fof thU purpose he had to travel thous ands of miles alone in an open skis' crossed the rapid stream in many places over two miles ia breadth to select proper points ef sight from wtm h to take his aketch; his hands and skin became as tawny as an Indian's from exposure In the rays of the weather. He would be weeks together without speaking to a human being havinir no other enmptny than his rifle, which furnished with his meat from the trame of woods or the fowls of the river When the sun b gun 0 sink behind the lofty bluffs &evning lo .approach he would select some secluded aandy cover, overshadowed by lofty cotton wood, draw out hit skiff lrom the water and lepak.to the . wood tq , hunt his supper- Having killed his game, he would return, dress, cook and from aome fatten log would eat it with his biscuit with no beveratre than the wholesome water of the noble river that glided by him. Hav. ing fiiiishe l his lonely uieal he would roll himself in his blanket creep under his frail skiff", which he turned over to shield him from the nijrht dews and with portfolio of drawintrs for hia pil'owand the sand of ths bar for his bed would sleep soundly ttt j0j2( !nhf mlks'K&re the rays of the rising sun bad dispersed ihe hu mtd mist from the surface- of - the river, and tken start fresh to hia task again.' 11" t j . mien tne preparatory drawings were completed he erected a building at Louis ville in Kentucky where he ,at length commenced his picture whieh was to be a panorama of the Missippi pained on can vass three milet long and it is noted with a justifiable pride, that this proved to te a home production throughout ths cotton be ing crown in one of the Southern 'states and the fabric spun snd woven by the factory girls ofLowel. What Ihe picture is aa a W0rk)oiart we shall probably have an op portuiiity of ascertianing personally, as it is understood to be M r lianvgrd's inten tion to exhibit it in England; but in the m antime , we must be stisfied to know that it receive the warmest eu logiums from the most distinguished of bis own countrymen, end a testimony in faver ol its corcctness from the principal captjin and pilots of Miusippi- At a meeting in Boston in April last General Brigga governor of Maasachusetta who was in the chair talked of il with enthusiasm as '& wonderful and extraodin irv production:' and Mr Calhoun, president of ihe Senate moved a series of retelutinns expressive of thir high almiraHn of the conception and of the indefatigable preaeveiance of the yetrng and talented artist in the execution of his Horculean wotk "and these" being warmly seconded by Mr Bradbury speaker of the House of Representatives, were car riep unanimously. , hAVVLUL REVENGE.

And it further' aiya: "We may be permitted to repeat that it would he most unfortunate if Vt Trist slioukl permit ihe negotiation to be spun out beyond the shorett poktible time. We may add it is to be " regetied that as long a period as forty eieht hours afie; the negotiation had terminated has been al'owed for ths resumption ' of hostili- tias.w ' ' ;.";";; " " Is it not evident from all this that if evil should 00 me from delay afforded the Mexi cans to negotis'e an effort will' be made lo throw the blame on Gen. Scott? Now in it not supremely lidiculotis to hear perrons snugly ensconced at home feeding on Government pap out of ihe reach of dinger, affd consequently unquali fied to judge setting themselves op as eritics upon a subject utterly beyond the s?ope of an impartial mind' . Can it be supposed that Gen Scott sur rounded as ho ia with high spiiited and in tolligent oiTiceis would be fclind to tha true interests nf the country and to the glory of the arms entrusted to his command? The only just method of criticism would be to send the grumblers to the army to take part in its dangers and toils and lot there give practical evidence of their ability ts correct blunders and achieve greatness.

WONDERFTL FEAT A brick building at the earner ef Tre mont and Bromfield streets, Boston, was moved lately 11 or 12 feet, including, the cellar wall, upon a temporary ra I way, by means of jack screws.

This is the first feat of the kind ever accomplished as may readily be imagined wai work of much difficulty. The process as described in the Whig, was to first dig the new cellar and lay a foundation wall to correspond wi.h the old one. Upon this wall two iron bars were afExd several iaches ever which the building was te move en small iron rollers. Underneath tne old wall a similar preparation was made. The diffi culty of moving was "made- i realer -by the unevenness of the stones composing the wall many of which were taken out and theii plates substituted with "others of a smooth surface. Six screws ware used in the operation which waa done under the direction of James Brown ot Piovidar.ce, K.

We have given no opinion on this subject either before the late renewal of hnstilstiea or since. Still less have we undertaken lo give , upon this point any indication whether of the purpose and policy of the Administration.

Another thing regarded as finally settled in the conviction of the country is that the nest overtures for peace mtut come from Mexico; also that Ihe war roust, to the fullest practicable extent be henceforth waged at the expense of Mexico. If these postulates he unconditionally grarrtucHhen t!e policywhich the Union alTVcts to disclaim, the ascription of which it designates as utterly gratuitous and ud founded," and as 'a gross mistake not to say a wanton misrepiesentation" that very policy, so claimed, follows inev itably as the only probable result. The rejection of Mr Trial's term being regarded as a new 0 air age calling for new and adilional reparation it is clear that tha principle ef a pregres sive ratio of demand here indicated hasad upon the continued refusal of the Mexicans to negotutiata on the platform of our own propositions mnst absorb, if the war continues, the whole of Mexico- And that the war will continue for a very considerable time if its termina tion to be secured only by the acquies ence of Mexico in our demands is ihe belief we presume of nine tenths of all per eons who know anything about the war or the Mexican character. , If ihe Union denies that it favours the plan of the acquisition of all Mexico it does so because it dare not at this time avow it openly. Te that idea however, il would lead the public mind) for, the posi- judgment must result in lhat conaumation 6c nothing less. In the meantime the public sentiment is tried in various ways, to see how far it will respond to bod. I avowals of conquest & subjugation. The obstinacy of Mexico is dwelt upon to inflame the pop utar mind. On aocount of ihia obstinacy we muat increase our exactions. The conditions which we were willing to recognize when Mr Trist wei,l to Mexico will not do for us now; we mnst insist upon greater concessions. 1 hus it will go on until it will be impossible for Mexiea to negotiate except upon the admission? of her own annihilation. Tlwmdieet mode 3. of-prevoking' new issue and abandoning former onei is quite wormy 10 iorm a part 01 that series of net ty expedients and shuffling evasions which has constituted so large a part of Mr Polk's administrative policy- To - the further prosecution of such a policy in reference to the war with Mico we have to bone that me piain goou sense sna nonest sentiment of the American people will spvedilr j opposed in a manner so direct and decided as to leave no dmiM ! riivr ia condemned.
