rmy as a private, and rose to high distinction. He after wards filled the post of Secretary of War.--On the annexation of Texas to the United States, Johnston raised a partisan troop, which he commanded, and accompanied General Taylor to Monterey. At the close of the Mexican war he returned to his plantation but, being in embarrassed circumstances, was glad to accept from the United State the post of paymaster, which was generously bestowed upon him by the Government.

A fine work of Art. An admirable bust of the late lamented President Tyler, has been executed by Mr. F. Voloko, an officer in one of the Departments, and a young gentleman whose genius and training in the art of sculpture need no other proof than this remarkable work. The likeness is wonderful. It is the man himself. Several of our distinguished public men, old friends and acquaintances of Mr. Tyler, who saw it yesterday soon after it was placed in the State Library, were emphatic in their commendations. We understand that a bout of President Davis has been made by the same artist, with no other opportunity of obtaining a likeness than seeing the President on one occasion in church, and that it is pronounced by the President's friends, not only a fine work of art, but the most likeness of the President ever made.

The streets. --The principal thoroughfares were literally crammed yesterday with pedestrians of both sexes — a goodly number of them being pleasure-seekers, attracted thither by the knowledge that the inauguration of President Davis is to take place to-day. The superiority of Southern men and women to those of the North is never more plainly apparent to the casual observer than in observing the difference of deportment and bearing in the two raced when in social intercourse or on the public promenade.
