WHITEwAsH.-Whitew is one of the
most valuable articles in the world, when
properly applied. 1t prevents not only the
decay Of wood, but conduces greatly to the
healthiness of all buildings, whether Of wood
or stone. Out-buildings and fences. when
not painted, should be supplied once or twice
every year with a good coat of whitewash.
which should be prepared in the following
way: Take a clean, water-tight barrel or
other suitable cask and put into it half a
bushel of lime. Slake it by pouring water
over it, boiling hot, and in sufficient quantity
to cover it five inches deep, and stir it briskly
till thoroughly slaked. When the shaking
has been effected, dissolve it in water, and
add two pounds of sulphate of zinc, and one
of common salt. These will cause the wash
to harden, and prevent its cracking, which
gives an unseemly appearance to the work.
If desirable, beautiful cream color may be
communicated to the above wash, by adding
three pounds of yellow ochre or a good lead
or pearl color, by the addition of lamp, vine
or ivory black. For fawn color, add four
pounds umber-Turkish or American (thc
latter is the cheapest) )-one pound Indim
red, and one pound common lampblack. For
common stone color, add four pounds raw
lumber and two pounds lamplack.
This wash may be applied with a common
whitewash brush, and will be found much
superior both in appearance and durability,
to common Chemical Gazette.

SHASTA COURIER
In a Dilemma.

In the House of Representatives, on. the
1lth of january, the following resolution was
unanimously adopted, ayes, l6l; nays.
none:
Reselred, That neither the Federal Government,
northe peoF4c or government of the non-slavehold-
ing States, have the right TO legislate upon in
terere with slavery in any any of the slaveholding
States in the Union.
In his Senatorial contest with Douglas,
in 1858, and when he was backed by James
Buchanan and many of his stipendiaries,
(some of the leading ones of whom are now
professed Black Republicans President
Lincoln declared in a public speech, after
wards corrected by himself and printed,
that
1 believe this Government cannot exist perma-
nently one half slave and one half Free
His chief Cabinet officer, Seward, in his
Rochester speech reiterated the SENTIMENT
He too declared that either all the States must
become free or all slave-that either the rice
and cotton fields of South Carolina would be
worked by free labor, or the wheat fields Of
New York would be worked by slaves.
Now, as both Lincoln and Seward have
sworn to maintain this Union and Govern
ment-which they have said cannot be main
tanned half slave and half free-must they
not either endeavor to destroy slavery in the
Southern States or violate their oaths p
Clearly, if they believe this Government can
not endure with savery-having sworn to
maintain said Government at all hazards
they must seek to remove the cause which
will prevent its perpetuity, or be false to
their oaths
Thus, Uncle Abe and his ''man Friday"
are not only in peculiarly perplexing di-
lemma-from which square back down can
alone relieve thenr-but have record in re-
lation to which the foregoing resolution of
their own supporters in Congress stands as a
severe rebuke
The Shasta courier., 1861-03-30

"WHo IsGovERNoR. Under this caption
the Placer Herald has an article that is be-
meath the dignity of any respectable sheet
1t concludes with this dirty, dirty, dirty
fling:
Hence have concluded that Doctor Downey is
not the real Governor of the State, but that the
Bulletin is and we therefore suggest to the Legis
lature the setting apart Of an early day for the in
suguration of that delectable institution Chief
Executive of the State, and permit the present in
cumbent to retire once more to the shades of his
Drug Shops at Los Angeles, in which position he
would appear more dignifed, and which is adapted
to the range ofhs genius.
Such contemplate slander, such libellous
inuendo, such fragrant elimination can do
our Governor no hurt A foolish person may
hurl mud balls at the moon and dung at the
sun, with the full conviction that he will ul-
timately mar the face of those luminaries-
but wise men will laugh to see the fool but
smear his fingers.
