invite the attention of oBr readers to the
advertisement of Messrs. JOANS Il CR03-
LEY, New York, in another column.
The numerous experiments made for the
last few years. to produce a substitute for tin,
slate and shingle roofs, have at last led to
perfect triumph in the GUTrA PERoBA Cement
Roofing offered by these gentlemen.
Possessing in great degree, the features
OF etosticity (which is qualification of O
Cement Roofing actually necessary and long

with the fact that it is weather and fire proof,
its genera! adoption cannot be too earnestly
urged. Their Gutta Percba Cement for
coating and repairing Metal Roofs of all
kinds and for preserving all metals from rust
aud corrosion-from its great durability and
cheapness, is fast superceding points of every
description heretofors used for such purposes.

THE New NJ MEMBERs.-Some of the new
members of Congress will excite the curiosity
Of the gallery frequenters. McDougai, OF
California, takes the place in the Senate, of
the notorious Dr.. Gwln. the Doctor having
quietly subsided from public life never to re-
appear again.
Mr.. Browning takes the place of the great
Illinois Senator. He is reported to be gen.
tleman Of excellent abilities and popular in
Illinois with men Of all parties. All will
miss Douglas from the theatre of his greatest
achievements-;h Senate of the United
States. One OF the most brilliant ornaments
Of that august body is withdrawn. For what.
ever might be the politics or sympathies OF
the spectator, be always liked to hear Mr..
Douglas speak. He was the life of running
debate. and was, perhaps the most powerful
man in quick, running debate. the couutry
has afforded for many years.
The presence Of Mr.. Crittenden iu the
House Of Representatives will create quite o
sensation. He will find himself entirely out
OF place there. 1t was with great effort that
he in latter years be made himself heard in
the more quiet and digniGed Senate, but the
whirlpool of the louse will overwhelm him.
The general opinion seems to be that the
House will listen respectfully to nn hours
speech from Mr.. Crttenden, and not attempt
to reply to what he may have to say. As fol
Wood, Vallandigham and Logan the House
will have no patience with them, and. if neces
sary, will, by the previous question, prevent
| their fulmnations of treason from the Nation

SECRETARY FLOYD A nonsr.rn,pr.

The papers cay that Secretary Floyd has
presented pair OF magnificent horses TO Jru.
Davis. The Secretary, since his opportuuu!
Of stealing by the million, has had the means
Of figuring pretty extensively in the way OF
gifts. But we don't believe the old rascal
would pay his debts, even il his stealpgs were
Eve times as huge in amount as they are.
We do not presume that the two horses
which Floyd has presented to Davis, are the
came two that he stole from San Burke, OF
Jefferson county, Kentucko, fifteen or twenty
years ago, for those must be getting little
Old by this time. Perhaps some Of Floyd's
admirers would like to krow how the old
horse thief managed his little operation with
Burke. Well, he 10y sick for several weeks
in Burke's neighborhood, and when be iecov-
cred and was about to start for his home in
Virginia, be heard Burke soy he proposed
selling very 6ne pair of horses. "Ob, don't
sell them here" said Floyd. LET me take
them to Virginia, aud can Immediately sell
them for you for twice as much as they will
bring here" Burke gave consent, aud Floyd
made off with the horses.
Burke waited and waited and waited till he
got tired of waiting. AT the end Of six
months he wrote to Floyd, asking whether be
had sold the horses. Floyd wrote back that
one Of them bad been for some time indspos-
| ed, and be bad, therefore. thought 1t best not
to hurry the sale, but that the invalid horse
was getting 10 good condition, aad would no
doubt be very soon q for the market. Burke,
not quite satisfied that all was right, made
answer that be wanted the horses sold imme.
diately, and the money sent to him, even if il
shouldn't be more than five dollars. To that
Floyd made no reply whatever. Burke never
received another line from him, but, meeting
ou' of Foyds nearest neighbors year and a
half or two years afterwards, he mentioned tc
him the circumstance of Floyd's having car
ried of his horses. why, my dear sir" sait
the gentleman, IL see those horses every day
they are Floyds carriage horses, and are con
sidered the finest in our county" We under
stand that poor Burke gave an energetic ex
preston to the emotions Of his heart.

MARTINsBURG, Va. July l3, 1861.
DEAR WILvERT The 18th and 23I Regi,
ments have been caught in their dirty tricks, and
are made to blush for the ill'mahner in which
they treated The citizens Of the now loyal,
town found out the deception that had been
played upon them and have taught these Regi-
ments a lesson not soon to re forgotten. Last
evening, at our dress parade, a gentleman came
into our camp carrying flag, behind him were
some fifteen young ladies, one of whom presented
said flag to our Regiment in the following neat
address -
To the llM Regiment IF Pennsylvania Voiun
teerS,
GENTLEMEN:
In bahaf Of the ladies' nf this neighborhood,
am delegated to present to you this FLAG as token OF
their high appreciation Of your courage and galanry in
leaving your quiet homes facing danger aud denth to

homes and pustery will rise up aud call you blessed that
yon sacrificed comforts and pleasures aud endangered your
lives to perpeuae our glorious Union and handing it down
Again, God bess you aud aid vOu preserve the honor
Of THIS FLAG, which now prescIt.
Col Jarrett received the flag and made a very
appropriate speech, assuring the young ladies
that the whole object of the Army OF the North
was to protect them from all harm, to place the
citizens in a situation to follow their usua
avocations, and make traitors and rebels respec
the proud emblem of Liberty and be subservien
to the Constitution and the Laws He assured
them that as long as the | lth Regimen
that flag would be carried and never allowed tc
be dishonored Cheers given with vii
