Photography.—It has been noted as the characteristic of the most refined taste, that it “loves t linger on the magic face of human beauty,” and truly if we range the vast domains of nature in search of that which is most lovely to the eye, and also most interesting to the mind, it is certainly found in the light and shade of the human countenance.

How many have spent their lifetime in trying to portray it with the pencil, and how few have succeeded in giving that living expression to their works which the original possess.  But the recent great improvements in the art of Photography, in a few seconds of time have enabled the operator to catch them all.

Mr. W. P. Hughes:

Dear Sir—Be pleased to accept my thanks for the Picture sent by you.  It strikes me as being equal, if not superior, to anything of the kind I have ever seen.  I have seen many of your Daguerreotypes, and they are not only remarkable for the accuracy of the likenesses but particularly for their ease and fidelity to nature.  They seem altogether to lack that stiffness and restraint which mars most pictures of the kind.  Wishing you that patronage which your merit in this line seems to entitle you to, I remain Very respectfully yours, &c.  T. L. Clingman.

Ambrotypes.  A. Starrett, Esq., Showed us some specimens of Ambrotypes, this week, whose superiority over the old fashioned silver plated Daguerreotypes is unquestioned.  An Ambrotype is taken on glass, and is not reversed like the old plan; and it can be seen in any light, as it is free from the polish of the silver plate.  It cannot get dusty, and is not easily defaced; it is impervious to water, air or acid, and will last for ages unimpaired.

Mr. Starrett has engaged the services of Mr. Hughes, a celebrated artist, who will be in town this week.

We have seen a few pictures taken in the same style of Daguerreotyping spoken of by the Times,  taken by Mr. Hughes, and can add our testimony to their elegant beauty.  We know Mr. H.well, and know further that he takes superior pictures.

We are glad to learn that Mr. Hughes will be in Salisbury in a few weeks, when all will have an opportunity of testing the new style of taking pictures.

Wagon Pic Nic.  Last Saturday witnessed, perhaps, one of the most novel, interesting and pleasing incident in the way of a Pic Nic. that has ever transpired in Charlotte within the knowledge of the most “antiquated inhabitant.”  We (the Junior) can testify to the scenes that were seen; and the rest, are not recorded in the mind of some.

The company started on a “Fishing Pic Nic.” and headed by the Saxe Band, proceeded to “Lake Katerine” in the following order:

1st.  Virginia Wagon, drawn by 4 mules—with flags and banners waiving—containing about 20 ladies and gentlemen.  2d. North Carolina wagon, drawn by 4 horses with 18 passengers—ladies and gentlemen.   3d. South Carolina Wagon, drawn by 4 mules, with 15 ladies and gentlemen as passengers.  4th. One mule cart, 4 ladies and gentlemen as passengers.  5th. One-horse wagon, 4 ladies and gentlemen.  6th. One horse wagon, containing the “Lady from Africa” as chief of the culinary department, with “Murat,” “Cass” and other Body servants to the party appropriately mounted.

The party halted in front of Mr. Hughes’ Daguerrean Gallery, where an Ambrotype of the party was taken, after which it proceeded on its way amid the shouts of the crowds assembled in the streets…

Ambrotype and Photograph Gallery.  The undersigned would respectfully inform the citizens of Camden and vicinity, that through their liberal patronage extended him on a former occasion, he has been induced to revisit them, and has taken Rooms over the Post Office for a short time only.

A fact Worth Knowing.  It has become a well-known fact, that the Ambrotype and Photograph is the picture of the day.  For boldness of relief, richness of tone and correctness of delineation, they cannot be surpassed by any picture taken by or under the sun.

The Ambrotype is particularly adapted to Children.  The process being almost instantaneous that fixed and rigid expression so frequently seen, is thus avoided.  Also the shortness of times precludes fatigue, and causes the picture to have that natural appearance so much to be desired.

In addition to the Ambrotype and Photograph, he is prepared to execute pictures upon Patent Leather, a convenient article for transportation by mail.  Specimens of this style may be seen at my Room.

All those in want of well executed and artistic pictures will do well to call at an early day, as my stay is positively limited to twenty days from date.       Jan 12.  W. P. Hughes.

Daguerreotype.  Mr. W. R. Hoyt is at the Franklin House in this village where he is ready to execute promptly Miniature Portraits in the best and most beautiful style of his art.  Individuals never having seen any specimens of this wonderful art, can scarcely have a correct idea of the beauty, correctness and precision which these Photographic miniatures exhibit.  We have examined a number of Mr. Hoyt’s Miniatures executed since he has been here and fine them exact ad natural imitations or copies of the originals.  They are finer and far more elegantly executed than steel plate engravings and decidedly more true to life as they are entirely the work of nature.  Persons wishing a true and perfect semblance of themselves will not fail to call upon Mr. Hoyt.  Time required in sitting from 40 seconds to 2½ minutes.  He will remain in town but a few days only.
