Eastwood 0aner


To-days edition of the Journal is printed on paper
made entirely from Eastwood We are indebted to
George w Beardsee of this city (the discoverer,
tor the requisite quantity of material for this purpose
1t is so nearly equal to The best paper used for news
purposes, that any word of apology for whatever
slight detects the Craft mag discover in it seems SUI
peFhuous and unnecessary In JUSTICE however, to
MI beardslee, 1t Is proper say that in producing
the pulp ne las been obliged to use our CITY water
which tor several weeks past, owing TO the Spring
haws and rains has not been pure water should
be tor such purpose. This is the cause of the per-
cepHble yellow tinge. That it is not attributable 10
the stock used is abundanily demonstrated by the
perfect whIteness OF small parcels of paper made by
filtered water
Printers may also observe a ght unusual harsh
ness IN the paper by later experiments MIR. Boards
lee has entirely obviated this objection He has pro-
ducei specimens OF almost every degree of feXibily
from the blottlng paper TO paper of the hashest linen
texture
The paper we use to-day was ma lie upon the Four
denier machine Of the Messrs. Orr, of Troy whose
establishment perfect any in the country, and
10 whom MIR. Beardslee is under great obligations for
the facilities which they have so cheerfuy afforded
him during his preliminary experiments.
MT. BeardsIee has been equally successful in his
experiments with white wood, spruce and buckeye.
From each he produces clean, flexible and beauti-
tnl paper, He has also worked up pulp from pine,
cedar and hemlock and possesses all the good DUAL
tiles of that secured from other wood
he mas also produced from these several woods va
rlous shades of unbeached wrapping paper of the
very strongest texture. Indeed we can imagine no
end attained with cotton and linen rags in the manu-.
tacture OF paper which cannot be reached by wood
/ whether It be IN the production of wrapping paper
news and book printing paper or bank note paper
The results which Mr. Beardslee has already reached
justify the most sanguine expectations
Mr beardslee has closed his experiments. He has
reached results which justify him in Immediately en-.
tenng upon the manufacture of the article for market
mat ne will be successful yet we cannot doubt.
we are sure that our readers and more particular,
those VINO are acquainted with the manufacture q
paper Will be asonished at the results thus produce
from Eastwood 1t must be recognized as the mos
important discovery of the age.
MISTAKEN AGAIN-The New York Herald bo
made great many promises to Southern know-noth
lngs, not one OF which has been fulfilled MIR. Ben
nett promised his Southern brethren that Wilson III,
notorious abolitionist, should be defeated by the;
brethren In Massachusetts. But Wilson was elected
He again promised the South that the know.nothino
, IN New York should defeat Seward But Sewa5
was elected few days ago he promised that ,h
