A NEW CHEAP AND DURABLE
RooE7ING.

V1NHE undersigned has obtained the agency LOT
l. JOHNS & CRUSLEY'S improved
GufGa Percha and India Rubber
RooHns Material,
which consists of thick body roofing cloth, one
ward wide, saturated in solution of Gutta Percho
and India Rubber combined, which not only pre-
serves the cloth but renders it highly elastic, so
that tae shrinking of new boards will not injure
it. This is nailed to the boarded roof and Their
coated with coat of the above solution, on which
we use fine building sand, thus giving it in two
three DAYS surface of stone, and at the time
an elastic body, which is not affected by the ex-
tremes of heat or cold.
This very excellent Roofing material has been
thoroughly tested in the cities of Boston, New
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Richmond, and
all the prominent cities of the Union, with unusual
success by Arch .ects, Builders and others-many
years of experience having demonstrated the fact
that it is the

FooT, being less than sand gravel roof, cheaper
than the commonest kind of Shingles, about one
half the price of Tin in fact, it combines all the re-
quistes of the age, viz Cheapness, durability, elias
tcity and freproof. 1t is adapted to all kinds of
roofs. whether steep or fiat, subject to being
walked upon. 1t is easily applied to old single
roofs, without the necessity of removing the old
shingles, which is great desideratum to persons
who do not wish their furniture and ceilings spoil

Gutta Percha Roofing Cement,
rs above stated, is a combined solution of GUTTA
PERCHA AND INDIA RUBBER, made into
consistency CT six coats of house paint. 1t is adj
mirably adapted to the coating of old or new tin
roofs, preventive against rust or corroson, as
it adheres so firmly to all parts. that leaky tin
or other metal roofs are readily repaired, one
coat of this cement will render it proof anst rust
and leak for many years. All new tin roofs ought
to have coat on the principle can ounce of pre-
tentative is better than pound of cure" 1t will
rot crack or peel of in cold weather, nor run in
warm weather, nor will not wash off. 1 will put

Astounding Developments-CarIile a Trail
tor mud a Spy,

The depravity of the human heart is most
wotully displayed in the career of the traitor
Garlic. The following facts are beyond con-
troversy. IA they come to us from an unques
tionabte source. We learn that Garlic Is IN
correspondence with Lincoln's CABINET, and
that Ia now has In his possession letter
from Cameron, Secretary of War, and q mem
Der of Lincoln's Cabinet, Offering to send
BLACK Republican troops into Northwestern
Virginia for the purpose OF suhJuSat!ng the
people, and separating this section OF the
State from the East. This information can
be implicitly relied on, as it came from one OF
Cariile's supporters. who said that he saw the
letter from the Secretary of War. The indl-
yidual referred to here is truthful and relia-
BILE, and would not, under any circumstances.
state what WAS not true.
What will our people think of thi. demon,
whom we have been nurturing in our bosom-
until he has become recreant to every sense OF
honor, and is now trying to light the fires of a
fratricidai war in our midst and backed by
hordes of Abolitionists, plunder, burn and
ravage the people who have conferred upon
him almost an unlimited trust?
Nor is this all of the treachery and treason
OF the notorious Garlic. 1t is known that he
was the first to leave Richmond after the
massage of the Secession Ordinance, and al
though the members of the Convention were
sworn TO secrecy, yet Garlic spent whole
day in Washington, and was, we are told,
closeted with Lncoin's Cabinet. That night,
when Uarlile passed Uarper's Ferry the Ar
mory buildings were in flames by the order OF
Lincoln. The question is, how did Lincoln
know of the passage of the Secession Ordi-
nance SO as to telegraph to Harper's Ferry to
destroy the buildings and arms to prevent
them from being captured With what fiend
ish exultatiou must Garlic have Sit in the
cars and witnessed the flames lit up by his
treason. How he must have looked like some
exaggerated demon, raised from the purging
fires of the neither world by Internal incanta-
tiOns
1t is reported. with what truth we know
not, that Garlic has been forced to fly the
country 10 prevent arrest for treason.

Legislature, on Thursday. Mr.. Wallace sub
United report from the Committee on Fede-
raj Relations. 1t declares that the war waged
by the United States upon the people Of the
Confederate States is unconstitutional, repug-
nant to civilization and sound policy, and
subversive of our free institutions. A protest
"a entered against the war on the part Of Ma
ryland; she declares that she will take no
part, directly or indirectly, in its prosecution,
aud the assertion is made that Maryland de-
sires peaceful and immediate recognition of
the independence of the seeded States. The
present military occupation of the State of
Maryland is protested against as unconstitu-
tionai, oppressive and illegal; and the final
resolution asserts that, under existing circum-
stances, 1t is inexpedient to call sovereign
Convention at this time, or to take measures
for the Immediate arming and organization of
the militia, and propose an adjournment of the
Legislature to day to be named hereafter.
The report was adopted-ayes 49, noes IL

The Federal troops passed through Balti-

propellers, with about 200 men On board
The vessels approached the wharf at Whct-

Harriet Lane stood with her port holes open,
to protect the landing.
As soon IS the force debarksd, they started
in special trains for Washington.
All quiet in Alexandria and Washington,
