'Pthe Ipori rait of 'President Johnson, originally painted for the fair by D. A. Woodward, Esq., is now onexhibition in the picture gallery, and attracts much attention. It is to be disposed of by raNo. Miss Mary Wade, at Mrs. Zenos Bar. num's table, is rapidly filling up her list of chances in the linely executed portrait of Stonewall Jackson, and it is thought it will be finally disposed of to-day. "A table composed of Florentine's mosaics, exquisitely wrought, is justly admired. . A splendid baby palace at. tracts universal attention; it is one of the most complete things of the kind that, can be inangined--indeed, so dainti. ly and delicately is it constructed that it secms more like the work of fairy lingers than of mani's. This pretty little palace is furnished throughout in tbo most luxurious mannier ; rich velvet carpets cover the floors, beautiful pictures deco rate the walls, and tiny tables and'chairs are scattered about. the drawing.roo, where the queen of the doll-babies is holding nn elegant reception. Gas, water and bells are inl every department; while attentive servants stand ready to answer every stumons. Several of the tables aro ornamentd with portraits of Presider,t Johnson, Generals Lee, Grant and Stonewall Jackson ; one of tie lat ter is a masterpiece of the photographic art, executed by the Messrs. Bendann 3rothers of this city, and presened to the fair. The picture is lif-size, and taken fron a small photogrnph which Mrs. Jackson pronounces the only cor rect likeness of the Confederate chief tain in existence. Severad interesting relics and meencitoes are ott e. %ibition; anong others, a portion of the coat worn by Stonewall Jackson when lie was killed at Chancelloraville; a pin. cushion made of fine velvet taken from a pair of breeches once worn by Waish. mngton ; a magnificent lot of braided hair, which a lady*bf Richiond, once in aflluent circumstances, cut. from her head and sold to procure food for her starving children ; the Virginiia Gazette of 1776, 1777. 1778, perhaps the only copy-of the old revolutionary paper extent ; sev eral aitographi letters of Washingtont, and aong lt.em a genuine letter ad. dressed by the great patriot to Mrs. Fairfax, of Virginia, on the Fourth of July, 1799. the year in which he died; this valuable relic is inl chargo of Miss i1!,sie Fairfax Minor, a decendent, of the lady to whom th letter was written. A niong the many objects of interest in the fair is one which, on the score of antiquity at least, is without a rival-it is a sarcophagis containing an Egyp. itan munmy, still swathed in the vrap. pings in which it was originally en, shrouded, perihaps inl the remote age of the Piaraohs. Upon one of tho tables is ta finoly executed portrait of Wash ington, taken from life, mn 1782, by Chales W. Peale ; also the "Snrveyor's Comnpis" made by tihe celebrated phil osopher, David Riuetltouse, of Philadel phin. and presented to "the Vather of his Comntry" int 1782, toget.her with the correspondenc relating thereto -all duly authenticated by the late George WaA. ington Parko Custis, of Arlington, Vir gima. "Among the contributions from Tal bot county, Md., is a doll-house, contri bated by Mrs. Gustavus A. Skinner.

From an internsting aceount of the last fighting around Petersblurg, written for the Ficld and Fireside by a Confede rate officer who was engaged in it, We extract the following. After describing the breach made oni our works, after va riotis bloody repulses, on Gordoh's lines, lie coitinues : Just in the rear; some two or three hundred yards, on many parts of our' line, heavy foits had been eftetild'to guard against just such results As trd ensued. In the rear of the line of works captured by the Federals were batte ries Mahtone and Gregg, but neithIer had gunis mounated nor men assigned them, Malsonet was unfinishhd, and was simply an embraur-ede batt.ery.cof three guns. Gregg was a, large -fort, with a deep ditch in front, and its. sally. ports protected in the -rear, and was em brasured for six guns. These tiro forts. wero all that now prevented.the.op9wy from cpmpl*ly ca.ting the. Confedeite lines.in two to the9 Apporpigox,ssyi y,dng P . ,Hil). apd. kop ap is sop )thqm pf 7qrI o ca trreo, thme men from all the b es yi b ?rR~ o te' r.. feWrled thi & W r dil~ 'Ate n i t they took it with a rdAl, although th gunners stood to their #tkis to the +6ry last, and fired their Wdt shot whild the Federal troops were on the rampaitg. I was standing wher" I could view the whole encounter. -&The Confederate line to the left of the fin-wis - not at tseked. The ereek iied ,a-, and the Btruggle was going on on one hill while we were on the opposite, about a half a mile apart, anxious and bteathless wit. nesses. As soon as Mshono fell, the Federalo, in three lines, moved 'on Fort Gregg with cheers; In the imnidliate vicinity all olse was iNn. . HoiV Ciavently %nd In what antfui lines they ad vance I As they near the fort their lines curves into a circle. They are within fifty yarde,- and not the flash of lingl" rifle yet defies thei. My GodI have the boys surrendered without a struggle ? We look to see if the sign of a white flag can be see.i; 'At this 111tait it seems to gleam in the sunlight, fhd, sends a pning. to : our earts. But no I it is the white snlokt from their gulls wlitch from cannonieis and infan. try simultaneously fire en the confident aesaulters, who stagger-reel under the death-dealing volley-and in a moment t1e Federal linen are broken and they ietreat in masses under cover. A loud and wild cheer succeeds the breathless stillness that prevailed amongst us, and is answered exultingly by the heroib little garrison in Fort Gregg. But reinforcements have come to the help of the 'assaulte-rs. I can see their long serpentine lin'ed Vs they Wend their way- through the cleared fleld in the .distance, and over , thj captured works, I turned nn4 looked to our rear, but no reinforcements can be seen coming to the succor of the garrison. Every man is heeded at his post,.and no reserves are at hand. The repulsed as. sailants, animated by the sight of rein. forcemenit4, reform, and as their coin rades come up in battle ary, march foith again in unbrolen tanks. As they -gain tho hill-top, two Inmdted yards from the fort, the artillery within the fort belches forth from the embra. sures, and the effect of its canister can het plainly seen in the liea0s of de'ad and dying that strew the ground. Dit the check is only inomenitary. - As thei next line advandes they move fo*ard in ser. ried ranks, and soon the fort is canopied in smoke. We can see the 4artillery as It fires in rapid succession, and the small arni spop and crack in a coaseless i-Attle. The confliet eltewhere ceases, and both sides are silent and anxious witnesses of the struggle at the - fort. Thus the fight continues for an half an hour. The Federals have reached the ditch.. They climb up the sides of the works, and as the foremost reach the top, we can see them reel and fall headlot,g on their comrades below. Once, twico and thrice have they reached the top only to be repulsed, and yet they persevere, aiid the artillery In the embrasures continue to fire in rapid succession. Bit, at last, all iR hushed I The ar tillery once more, and for the last,time, fire a parting'ohot, and wo can see the Federals as with impunity they mount the works and begim a rapid Are ion the defenders within.- Their ammunition Is exhaulted. and .unwilling to surrender, they are using thir bayonets and chib bing their guns in. an unequal struggle.
