A NEW ARTIST.
Under this head, we find in the Mobile
Herald, a letter from a citizen of that
place, descriptive of Wife paintings by our
fellow townsman, J. II- Tatum. which
are now almost ready for the public eye.
We are elad lo see that attention will be
drawn towards llieui in our large cities,
To call these painttnga beautiful, or ex
pressive, or merely to say that they will
repay the visitor is not to do them, tho

which they merit. The best criticism we
know how lo pay them, is to say that ev
en in ll.eir unfinished state, we are un
willing, unable , is it were, lo criticise.
