DK\H SIRS: I have had the pleasure of examining to-day, in tho studio of Mr. Albert Guerry. a portrait from th? pro cil of thatyouug and talented artist of the Rev. James C. Forman, painted by request of the students of the University over wbiah Dr. Furman presides. I have not in a great while seen so admira? ble a likeness or so beautiful a picture. Tba drawing is perfect, and tho painting exquisitely done. The artist has over? come thu greatest difficulty in his art, and baa caught and fixed upon his can? vas the..very attitude of bia subject,:and that expression of foco which, moro thfin the. fe.iturca themselves, mark' the indi? viduality of men. Tho position is very striking. The Doctor sits in his iibrury, surrounded by his books and with the Bible opeu on his lap and his finger on tho passage to which he refers, bas just enounced some grent truth, and with that soft, yet irresistible earnestness BO peculiar to his eloquence, looks on bis audience, entreating, and challenging be? lief. ' Mr. Guerry ia an artist of whom the people of South Carolina may well be proud. At the.'-request of many of his friends, he has consented to exhibit this painting in your city and iu Colum? bia. Should he do BO, tho lovers of art in those cities will not be displeased with a visit to his rooms.

Very truly yours, W. K. EASLEY. Tho Illinois Stale Journal has this com? plimentary reference to a distinguished citizen of this State: "Mr. Robert Toombs is a blustering scouudrel, who, if he bud received his just deserts, would long since have filled an ignominious grave through tho me? dium of n hemp halter, adjusted by the bands of a United States official. Through the clemency of a kind anti benevolent Government, his depraved ami worthless lifo was spared, ami now ho employs his foul breath in denounc? ing "Radicalism" in tho most opprobri? ous and treasonable terms, complaining that liberty has departed from tho land. His own actious and utterances aro a hideous contradiction of bia own black hearted malevolence. It is not impossi? ble that this treason-stained wretch will, with some of hi? fellow-rebels, Uko. Jeff. Davis and other notabilities, yat tempt ft to so iar.as to secure for themselves a taete of Federal hemp."
