In some several localities in the South
we have in Government charge, or else
in no charge at all perhaps in all ten
thousand slaves without masters. AS
yet no plan has been devised suited to
the permanent care and employment Of
these people. The public mind has
been SO much engrossed with the great
features of tho war, that it has not been
directed To these "contrabands,n aud the
few Individual minds who have attempt
ed to grapple with this question have
not been able TO solve it, and have been
embarrassed and astonished by its per.
pleXities. And yet we are asked by
some, without any results of experience
10 confirm the hazard, with no previous
preparation for SO great a change, with
the most serious political COMPLICATIONS
surrounding the question, with the
whole energies of a nation involved in
the mere tact of the preservation, 10
assume tho responsibility of emancipat.
ing three-tourths of the slaves at the
South. Can not the men who make
this demand solve the Fortress Monroe

problem? If they can, We can tolerate
their demand with much more compla
cency when they do so.
The above sound suggestion is from
the Detroit Tribune, conservative repub
lican. The radicals prefer fgdring upon
the extent of calamity, whatever its
nature, after its Occurrences, to a consid
Grafton in advance of the means by
which it may be avoided Hatred Of
the South is their only sentiment, "dou'
care" their watchword, and they would
at any moment risk the destruction o
tho nation for the sake of making tn,
condition Of the slave population ter
times worse than it is.

Republican city Convention.

Friday afternoon, the .2lst, the Re
publican City Convention was held,
resulting in denomination of c. b. Mott
for Mayor G. b. Jones for Treasurer;
G. X, Robinson for Comptroller; Hez-
ekiah Miller and Henry s. Edget for
Justices of the Peace, With the ex
ception of two, the nominees are radicals

atism of the two is more for show than

re nomination of Mott, without explain.
alton or qualification, the extravagant
course Of the present Council is en-.
dorsed in full, and the issue presented
to the people that in voting for him
they vote for continuance of the same
practices. Let the Democratic City
Convention and Ward Caucuses pledge
their candidates unequivocally to re
trenchment and reform, and thus meet
squarely the issue rendered. Fifteen
hundred dollars can be saved to the
City in its ordinary expenses, salaries
etc, and more than as much moro
in other ways. The load of taxation
for National, State and County pur
poses will be enormous the coming
year, and there is no good reason why
the burden Of city taxes should not be
lightenod, as it may be, if 40 effort is
made to that effect.

Ship Building mt Saginaw.

The great abundance ofsuperior oak
in the vicinity of Saginaw, has attracted
the attention Of ship-buiders to that
point as desirable one for building
various descriptions of lake craft. The
barques Sunshine and Jesse Hoyt, the
brig Starlight and the schooner Quick
step, all first class vessels well known
upon our lakes, besides several kinds of
craft employed on the Saginaw river,
were built at East Saginaw in Jesse
Hoyt's ship yard. There is now on the
stocks and being built, "A barque of 600
tons burthen, 10 feet in the hold, 80
feet breadth of beam, and $50 feet in
length-capacity 10000 bushels. She
is Of beautiful model and will be
launched in the spring. Her tlmbers
are heavy, and she is very strongly
built. She is to be called the " News

Buffalo, last year contracted for the con.
struction of large dredge and scows,
which were built and taken TO Mackl.
nae and the canal for dredging for Gov

There is perhaps no point on the
Upper Lakes where ship building can
! be carried on with greater economy
than at East Saginaw. The facilities
for obtaining timber, knees and all else
that is needed for vessel building are
unsurpassed These facts in connection
with.the favorable location cf the river

WATER PROOF BmcKs.--Common bricks
are very porous, and during northeast
rain storms the moisture penetrates thro'
sighteen.inoh brick walls unless their
surface is coated with paint or some other
protective. Various modes have been
proposed and tried to render brick inn
pervious 10 moisture, and the glazing Of
their surface by vilreous coat of glass
has been tried. Bricks thus made as
suredIy keep out water, bat mortar will
not adhere to them, hence they cannot
form q strong wall. w. 9. Foster, of
Lambeth, England, has taken out pat
emit for making waterproof brick which
10 alleged to meet all desired require
nsnts. In moulding the bricks, glazing
material is placed in the middle OF each
shis vitrifies in the burning operation, and
damp therefore cannot penetrate through
shsrn, while their surface preserves the
sdhesivs properties Of common bricks
with mortar.
