Chicago Tribune correspondent with Curtis

Cheap Paint for rgaos, and Buildings

The many inquiries we receive on
this subject, induces Us to give tho
results ofany experiments we make or
which como under our observation
Having had occasion recently to erect
and paint a board fence about three
hundred feet long, the following mode
was adopted:
The fence was made Of six horizon
tai boards, besides the cap, nailed to
rcd cedar posts, and to avoid expense,
the boards (of nearly clear stuff pine)
were left unplancd. The expense of
planning both sides by q machine
driven with steam, would have been
about five dollars.
Tho paint applied was made like
common oil paint, ground water lime
being used for the pigment, not on
account Of any virtue it may possess
from its properties as a cement, but
because OF its cheapness, costing only
about half q cent pound. 1t may
possibly, however, be much better
than some other paints, as a fence
coated once with it in mixture with
oil three years ago, appears as the day
applied. In order to give it a warm
| CT lint, TO correspond with the build
ings adjacent, a small portion of
brandon rcd was added. A single
coat of this paint was then given to
! the fence, the rough boards retaining
enough 10 be equal to three ordinary
coats on plancd boards. About nine
gallons of oil were consumed, costing
ABOUT eleven dollars. The pigment
was valued at fifty cents; ana about
four days were occupied in mixing it,
at six dollars cost, the whole surface
or both sides and the post being
painted Tho total cost was nearly
eighteen dollars.
The expense Of this application, as
compared with using white lead PANT
anplied in two coats on q planed sur
face, was as follows: Two coats Of
white lead paint are estimated to cost
fifteen cents per square yard. There
were on both .idcs of this fence, and
on the edges of the boards, over one
hundred and soventy-two square
wards, WHICH at fifteen cents each.
would amount to about twenty-six
dollars. Consequently eight dollars
were saved in painting nad FIVE moro
at, least, in planning, if done in the
chcarest manner, making thirteen
dollar additional, which would make
wkite lead nearly double tAe expense
of the mode adopted,
A barn, thirty by forty feet, and
with an average hight OF sides equal
to eighteen feet, would present an On
tiro surface Of two hundred and sew
enty Eve square yards, the paint Of
which in the manner described, on
new unplaned siding, would cost
little less than thirty dollars. y coat
of whitewash may be applied for a

coats Of white lead would cost forty.

Conditional Legally.

! The last uumb.r Of that widely circulated
and influential journal, Rarpsrs U'eetig. in the
fol!oRing article. SO concisely and perfectly ex-
! presses our sentiments, that We adopt it in pre-
ference to any thing We could say on the sub
ject. 1t says.
I'VE are not Of those enthusiasts who sup
pose that the rebellion is 10 disappear in a
night. Its roots are in all the strongest hu-
man passions-pride, ignorance. prejudice is-
terest. aud hatred, The rebels are practically
united; for there is doubtless mpch less Union
feeling in the Cotton States than there was
Tory;sm in the Old colonies at the Revolution
There may net be much practical Terrorism in
the rebel section, for there IS no need Of it
Indeed, the Union feeling OF Tennessee and
Kentucky is probably half conlitioaal loyalty.
In other words, il is not an uareServcd accept
aBQe Of the Constitution, with the candid in
teatQn Of abiding by it-5ut if IS a condition
al intention Of abiding By it if it works agree
ab.g'to their wishes.
Now. one thing is clearly essential in the
Gaal settlement Of this war-and that IS that
the principle Of armed rebe lion against the re-
suit Of a constitutional clt ion mast be utter
II auni7atcd. Anything less than that is the
absolute triumph of the revolution. Il, while
hey are sliil in arms, The rebels should say
that they 1ill lay them down upon condiiion that
they can have certain guarantees, anI those
guarantees are given-then. of course, they
conquer, and The precedent viii be established
that a defeated party has only TO appear in
arms 10 secure what they want. Any other
terms 10 rebellion than those offered by Gene
raj Foster at Roanoke. anl General Grant at
Fort immediate and unconditional
eurrendei"--are a betrayal Of the Government
aad the end Of civil society.
II, when that surrender IS mad-, and the
LADDERS Of the Moody and caasolcss revolt havc
been deal; with as the national justice my d.
eide, and ordinary, peaceful operations OF life
are resumed a convention should be constiLu-
;ionajly called, and changes in the fundamental
iaw should be cons,i;uiionally made, there
might be regret, bat there could be no com
paint of foul play. Il no changes should
De made and the convention dissolving. The
people s!ould acq1iescc in the result, it would
be Clear that peace had been actually sccur-
cd
To say 10 the rebels that ifthey will lay
down their arms there shall oe a convention,
and to add that at that convention certain re
suits shall be achieved, is to show to all mankind
that our Government is an imbecie sham, and

Y0a often read about" "a 'ins Of battle" and

two lines, but it is not so. The army is divided
into divisions, and there often great gaps be

The President.

The Washington correspondent of the New
York Commercial Advertiser, who cannot be
regarded as any follower" of Mr.. Lincoln,
gives the following sketch Of the President and
his standing:
/ was present at the Fed:ral Capital when
Abraham Lincoln of Illinois was inaugurated
President of the United States. 1 ne.d not
remind you readers of the trying circumstan
ces under which that inauguration took place
That Mr. Lincoln bore himscl? with modesiy
and dignity while passing through that ordeal,
is matter Of history. To say that beyond Ii
small circle of personal friends. he received in
Washington anything more than q cold ad-
mission Of his official position, would be to say
that which is not true. But from the 4Ih OF
March, 1861, to the present day, President
Lincoln has, without interruption, advanced in
public esteem. confidence and admiration
Here he is com ncuded warmly by men who US
much as ever arc his political opponents. And
what is better still, he IS universally regarded
as the main pillar of the Government. The
contrast between him and his predecessor in
| the residential Office is so marked, that i
doubtless has heightened The admiration rol
/ Mr. Lincoln felt by all classes here, for no peo
| pie have greater contempt for weak exccu
tive and administrative head iban the people o
the United States. And the feeling is natur
ally strongest at the seat Of government.
But as | have sail, such feeling is enier
tanned toward President Lincoln. Nor
there the same kind of admiration Of him tha
was entertained towards President Jackson
Mr.. Lincoln possessts much of Andrew Jack
