WASHINGTON, May 16.-All the new Naval steam
ers will be placed in commission as soon as tbev
shall be successvely fnished and before the close
OF this year, every available vessel will probably be
in active service. This design is not, however,
with any reference to the European war, as no
damage to our commerce is apprehended from that
cause. Vera Cruz is considered in official quarters
to be one of the most important points where a
large ieet is required and hence additional vessels
Will be despatched to the Gulf of Mexico. The
facilities in the neighborhood of Central America
afforded by our squadrons either for sea or land
operations, are considered sufficient for all emer-
gencies.
According to a general order Just issued from
the Adjutant Generals Office the officers of the
Medical and Pay Departments, may, by virtue OF
other commissioned officers.
The following military stations are announced as
double ration posts from the date of their establish
ment, and while occupied by not less than one com
pany:
Department of Texas-Fort Quitman and Camp
Hudson.
Department of Oregon-Fort Bengham
Department of Caifornia-Forts Crook and Ter
haw, and New San Diego.
Of nineteen samples of canvas mail bags submit
ted, the contract for supplying which has beer
awarded, only four of them were selected by the

the first quality with regard to material and work

the award, but the question will not be reopened

CHEAP PAPER.-Dr. Collyer, whose reputation
among paper-makers is assured from his success
full application of beet-root refuse in their manu-.
facture, has recently alighted upon an important
discovery, whereby full fifty per cent. will be saved
In the manufacture ofpaper, made either from wheat
or oat straw, faxwaste, or other similar refuse ma
terial.
The insuperable difficulty which has attended
the use of raw fbrous substances lies in the exis
tence of the siicious cortex which envelopes the
hoer to get rid of this silex has been the object
long desired and sought after for this desideratum
being accomplished the remaining fiber of common
straw Is equal, for the paper-makers' purposes to
the best linen rags; in fact it honestly produces
stronger paper Separation ofsilicious matter NAV
pe eHected, as our readers aware, by the use
OF strong alkaline solutions, accompanied by great
neat; but this process involves a certain waste
OF concentrated caustic alkali which is a costly ma
terial. D
| DIR. Collyer has, however, happily discovered q
simple and inexpensive method, which entirely
removes the sex, after the use of a weak alkaline
| solution and process of boiling under moderate
pressure.
The straw or fax refuse, before being boiled
is submitted to the action of machine especially
invented for the purpose by this gentleman
This machine opens out the fiber, disintegrates
the sicious corex, and prepares it for the produc
ton of pulp, from which be made the best class
writing and printing papers, at onehalf the present
cost.
The whole expense of preparing one tun of straw
pulp, beached fit for conversion into the finest wri
cess, exceed fl2 per tun, or I'D. per pound; to
which add the excise duty of11ad. per pound, an6
we obtain the whole cost of making the substance
into paper, which is now practically worth I'd
per pound, equal to that used by the leading jour
nals,-London Spectator.

After the respective juries were called the Judpe
delivered an able charge to the Grand jury in re.
spect to the duties assigned them. He observed in
the course of his remarks, that in the other conn
ties OF his circuit, Cecil and Harford) there had
been a great diminution in crime durno the Iost
year, and he hoped such would be found to be the
case in this county. The Grand Jury of Cecil coun
W, eighteen months ago, found 1873 indictments in
session OF ten days, nearly all of which were sus-
tanned at the last term of the Court, while the
Urand jury OF the nearest term after a session of
six days, found only five indictments.
In dartord county year snce the Grand jury
found 1--we bills OF indictments for felony alone At
the recent session of the court they found but IA or
10 indictments for small Offences including one
case of felony committed by person from Balti-
more city. This result was most gratifying. He
then compmented the sheriffs of Cecil and Hartford
counties for having summoned as jurors, gentlemen
ol the highest character and standing in their re-
spectlve counties He hoped the Grand jury of
thls county would make their session as short as
possible, but at the same time it was more impor-
tant that they should give to their duties a
thorough examination, than that they should be
influenced by desire to shorten the term of their
labors.
The Grand Jurors then retired to their room, and
the original docket, numbering rs cases, was called
Also the trial docket ASS cases. This docket will
be taken up again on Thursday of next week
The removed case of Joseph Oaks from the CITY,
for the murder of = Sylvester, was assigned for
tomorrow, and witnesses recognized to appear.
VIM. Ii. Richardson, of the city, charged with a
common assault was fixed for trial on Wednesday
next. Also, Geo.; Chestnut, of the county, for the
same offence, on Friday.
A few unimportant judgments were taken, and
one or two insolvent debtors discharged, after
which the Court adjourned until tomorrow morn
ing at 10 o'clock.

matter with the animal, approached again to lead
him to the stable, when the horse made a fearful
attack upon them, tearing completely out with his
teeth the bosom of the shirt of one of the men, and
grasping hold of the shirt sleeve of the other For
tunately the men were hardly scratched, the great
est damage being done to their clothes.
A wagon was standing in the yard, and the en-
ragged horse, bowling and snorting with agony.

GRAPE Culture IN CALIFoRNIA.-A correspond
ent OF the New York Tribune at San Francisco.
says:
condense from the statistics of the Mechanics
Institution, and the address of Mr.. Banks of San
francisco, the following remarks: "Almost every
nook and corner of our entire State is admirably
adapted to the growth of the grape. In France. a
hrst-rate crop of grapes is 5000 pounds per acre
while 1000 pounds is regarded fair crop. In the
the grape-growing districts along the Ohio river
where superior grape is produced, 5000 pounds
is considered very large crop-4,OOO to 5000
pounds is regarded as good average; but in Cali
fornia, the ordinary crop is from 10000 to OOO
pounds to the acre, and more is not unusual.
=, In the old world, and in the Atlantic States,
the grape crop frequently fails on account of frost:
and disease; here it is sure to yield abundantiy.-
There the vine must generally be supported by
poles; here 1t stands without artificial aid. There
large amount of cult vation is costly: here II
can be had for almost nothing. There the rain:
frequently interfere seriously with the ripenng and
gathering; here, during the vintage, we have an
unclouded sky; The returns of last year show the
grape crop to have been 81 900 tons, and the wine
product 100000 gallons, beside large quantity O.
brandy. "
