THE SLAUGHTER
A day or two ago, aaya the Louisville
Journal, in looking over New Orleans
pspers, we found in tin- Delta what pur
ported to he a full list of the killed in the
battles of Contrary, Cbnrubusco, Chapu'
tepee, ard El Key. The catalogue waa
printed col u ma, and we contemplated il
widi fel inga of pain loo intense fur expre s

legion of the names of the slaughtered
dead until every thing aeemed lo wear to
our eyea the hue of bWiod, and, we could
almost hear the expiring groine of ih fallen
and the still more agonizing shrieks of
widows snd orphans.
And in this conviction we would ask,
and every just minded citizen of ihe coun

Why wts all this done when our home

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

of hia neighbors 'ventured to ask. him the
reason which governed his. choice.. lie
icplied that having had but little trouble
in the world he was fearful , of becoming

A brick building at the earner ef Tre

the cellar wall, upon a temporary ra I
way, by means of jack screws. The
building was estimated to be 600 tons in

first feat of the kind ever accomplished as
may readily be imagined wai work of

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

similar preparation was made. The diffi

unevenness of the stones composing the

facts which were related to us by one of our
to wnsmen who deri ved most profit .from the
proceeding fully illustrates:
Some years ago a gentleman vieiling a
fanner in Massachusetts, took from his
pocket a small intruder which some how
got in there at home. - It was thrown out
with a smile, and the farmer takiW it in
hia hand to look at it a curious liule'bov of
inreiTD ai nis eioow asicea what it was
"Oh nothing but a potato, my boy take
and plant hand you shaMtave all you can
raise from it till yott are free. Tie lad
took it and the farmer thought -no more
about ii t lhat rime. The bey however,
not despising small potatoes earefnllv
ded il in'o as many pieces as he coold find
eyes, and put them in the ground the -product
was cerefullv put aside in th flL
and seed for several hills was obtained for

kept or seed entil In the fourth year, the
yield being good, the actual product was
four hundred bushels! The farmer, soeinir
the prospect that the potato field wnnt.l

industry how many who are disposed to
ragard the trifling things ou which fortunes

their small advantages! Small Pttaton

The Washington Union affirms that.' it
has not advocated the conquest and the
acqujaiton ol the whole of Mexico, 'For
ourselves," it adds, "we lave never under
taken to determine how large a portion of
Mexican territory onght to be requited by
our government in the form of a tentorial
Indemnity. 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. Ju a matter
of such moment and delicacy indeed, we
should deprecate al this time w bile the
war ia yet waging and just after theenemy
has broken ntl urgoiiutione any detailed
disclosure of the terms orpcace upon wLtch
our g-rverrrment may is lend to insist. ,
The official paper, however. proeeeJsto
name certain points upon which it sup
poses the judgment ofthe people of this
country is fully eet-led. One of these
points is that the lerma of pacification ofT
ered bj Mr TrM had the genfral approval
or the country, at the time when tluv utrt
rttolved Upm by. our gootrnment.'W

magnanimity and forbearance a id desira

A second point, nevenheles is that ihe
publie mind is also matured in the convie
tion that the rejection of our prol
fe red terms and ihe subsequent resumption
of hostilities by Mexico, constitute "a new
uuiruge against us ny me meiican
Government,' which demanda "new and
peac which may ie agreed upon."
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

has constituted so large a part of Mr Polk's
