It is a genuine work of art, and the proprietors, we are assured, have fixed the price so low—much lower than they at first intended—simply on account of the times, and so that every one who wishes can still procure a copy without feeling the amount it costs. The portrait is what is called "cabinet" or half. life BiE3, mat the size for the parlor—ie finished in permanent oil colore, on can. vase, and put up in a genuine heavy gilt oval frame, with plate glass in front, and seems in every part to be done in the very beat style. Bat its great merit, as is claim ed, consists in the fact that it is an exact cipy of the original paintings. From our own observation, and from the testimony we have seen of others who are caps le of judging of the merits of a work of this kind, we are free to say that we think it fully equal to all that is claimed for it. We can therefore commend the work to our citizens. The pe it le of Pittsburgh should. and no doubt do, feel an especial interest in the memory of Washington, and in preserving hie likeness. It was here in our immediate neichborhood when Washington ander Gen. Braddock, made his first appearance in public life, and because distinguished, as a military man. Pittsburgh is classic ground, and every house in It, especial y every "well regula ted" parlor, should hive a gocd likeness of the Father of his 0-entry, occhpying 'the place of honor."

He was under the command of Col. Baker, at the battle of Ball's Bluff and was within fifteen feet of (Jot. Baker at the time he fell. He states that on the morning of the fight, before his command passed over the river, Col. Baker was requested by his subordi nate officers to disobey the orders, and suffer court martial, as the undertaking seemed so hazardous, but CoL Baker in sisted upon obeying, at any sacrifice. When they had arrived at the other side of the river, and had proceeded some distance, Col. Baker looking through his glass, dis covered two regiments issuing from the woods, on a double quick. He remarked to his men that "they would now have to fight hard, and that be expected to fall, and hoped that they would protect his body." How faithfully they did so is al• ready a portion of history. He states his treatment in prison was rather bad, until our late victories, when policy compelled the rebels to manifest more kinadese to the prisoners.

The Official Report of Lieut. Pendergrast Wazataroroff, March 12.—The official report of Lieut. Pendergrast of the Con gress, addressed to Commander Marston has been forwarded to the Navy Departs meat. Lieut. Pendergrast states that owing to the death of the late command ing offiotr, James B. Smith, it becomes my painful duty to make a report to you of the part which the United States frigate Congress took in the efforts of our vessels at Newport News to repel the attack of the rebel flotilla on the Bth inst. Tee report states that when the Merrimac, with three small gunboats, were seen steaming down from Norfork, and had approached near enough to discover her character, the ship was cleared for action. At ten minutes after two o'olook the Mer. 'thee opened with her bow gun with grape. passing us on the starboard side at a distance of about three hundred yards, receiving our broadside and giving one in return. After passing the Congress she ran into and sunk the sloop•of•war berland. The smaller vessel then attacked us, killing and wounding many of our crew. Seeing the fate of the Cumberland, we set the jib and top sail, and with the assistance of the tug-boat ZOUAVA, ran the vessel ashore at half past two. The Mere rimao took a position astern of us at a d'stince of about one hundred and fifty yards, and raked as fore and aft with shells, while one of the small steamers kept up a fire on our starboard quarter. In the meantime the Patrick Henry and Thos. Jefffraon, rebel steamers, approached as from the James River, firing with pre. calon and doing us great damage. Our two stern guns were our only means of de'ens.e. These were soon disabled, one being dismounted and the other having its muzzle km oke 1 away. The men were knocked away from them with great rapidity and slaughter by the terrible fire of the enemy. Lieut Panda., grast tirat heard of the death of Lieut. Smith at 4.} o'clock; the death happened ten minutes previous. Seeing that our men were being killed without the prospect of any relief from the Minnesota, which vessel had run ashore in attempting to get up to us from Hampton Roads, and not being able to get a single gun to bear upon the enemy, and the ship being on fire in several places, upon consultation with Commander Wm. Smith, we deemed it proper to haul down our colors without any farther loss of Ifs Oh our part. We were then boarded by an 4.4:deer of the Merrimac who said he would take charge of the ship; he bet shortly afterwards and a small tug came along side whoee captain demanded that we should surrender and get out of the 'hip as he intended to burn her immediately, A. sharp fire with mus • kets and artillery was maintained from our troops ashore upon the tug, having the effect of driving her ofl• Tile Mem !nee again opened upon us, although we had a peak to show that we were out of action.
