Beautiful paintings.

--Three of the most beautiful paintings we have ever seen, averaging each three feet by four and a half, representing the "Bombardment of Fort Sumter," "Interior View of its Ruins," and the "Port of Charleston," in which Sumter stands off in bold relief receiving the combined assaults of the whole Yankee iron-clad fleet, are now on exhibition at the book and music store of J. W. Davies & Sons, on Main street, above Tenth. They are the production of Lieutenant John Key, a member of General Gilmour's staff, who was on the spot, and personally observed everything which he has portrayed. The paintings are not for sale, but simply on exhibition for the gratification of the public.
