,pa.hy.-Urbana Expositor.
The Ealsshood ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Re-
public-the real organ, par excellence,
Of this pretended no-party President
comes out boldly and claims Gen. Taylor
as the wing President, and says, in plain
terms, that all he said in his letters and
hi. inaugural about honesty, fidelity, and
capacity, was idle, ridiculous CANNON
palpably absurd and false that he has put
out the incumbcnts Of Office for opinions
sake, and that he will continue to do so.
Thus, at the very outset, does the new
organ stamp upon Gen. Taylor the burn
ing brand Of falsehood and hypocrisy and
,consign him to the merited scorn and
contempt of every honest man. What
will the wing press say now to removals
for cause! Will they, after this, dare to
bllcken with their foul insinuations the
characters oftheir predetermined victims?
Ifso, We would place whip in the hand
of every man, "to lash the rascals naked
through the land. "-Baltimore Argus.
WEr BR1cxs.-Few people, except
builders, are aware Of the advantages Of
wetting bricks before laying them. A
wall twelve inches thick, built up Of good
mortar, with bricks soaked well is stron
ger, in every respect, than one sixteer
inches thick, built dry. The reasons O
this is that If the bricks are saturated will
water, they viii not abstract from tn,
mortar the moisture which is necessar,
to its capitalization, and on the contrary
they will unite chemically with the NOR
tar, and become as solid as a rock. Or
the other hand, il the brick are put VI
dry, they Immediately take all the mois.
'ture from the mortar, leaving it too dry IL
harden, and the consequence is that wher
building of this description is taker
down, or tumbles down Of its own accord
the mortar falls from it like 50 much sand.
A New York letter in the Philadelphia
Inquirer says:
Lieut.. Mayne Reid, who conducted
himself SO CALAMITY in the late war with
Mexico, is making preparations to embark
Tor Germany, for the purpose Of assisting
he Hungarians in their struggle with the
Austrians and Russians. He was waited
upon and solicited to take command of a
company Of Hungarians in this city, who
have determined to cross the Atlantic and
release Hungary from her thraldom. He
complied with their request, and viii soon
Dc en- route to the scene of the war in that
part Of Europe. He will finish his story
Of War Life as soon as possible, and
then be of.
