Hemp Canvas.

A quarter Of a century has not elapsed
since cotton canvas was hrst used for ships
sails. Previously hemp canvas, ravens duck
&C., were in general use, but the cheapness
vf cotton soon drove all other kinds Of sail
cloth out Of the market on this side Of the
Atlantic. Not only was cotton cheaper but
the sall-clnth made from it wore as well and
held the wind better than any other kind
Our readers will prob,bly recollect that the
sails Of the famous yacht America, which
were Of cotton duck were the principal cause
of her triumph at the great British regatta,
few years since. Her sails set better, held
more wind, and had smoother surface than
those OF any her competitors.
But now cotton is SO high in price, that
sail-cloth made Of it is nearly all exhausted
and hemp and fax are once more in general
use. All our new ships have hemp canvas
sails, the material Of which is generally i'm
ported.
Hemp canvas is more pliable than cotton.
and is IN better favor with seamen. 1t las
always been used in the Navy, hence a ship
Of war could generally be made out at sea
by the dark color of her sails before her hull
wac visible. Russia is the great canvas
manufacturer OF the world nut Leith
(Scotland) sail-cloth is still considered the
best. Cotton canvas was never in favor with
British ship-owners, because, we suppose, i,
was an American production but if this
war had not interfered. like other American
notions, it would have grown INTO power
Hemp canvas. however, has regained its old
place, as "wings for the wind to watt the
comm cree Of the world.

Conservation.

So much trouble has arisen in consequence
of enforcing the CONSUMPTION, so great has
been the expense for the small number oil
men obtained, aud 80 many difficulties arc
experienced with the men who are forced in

bounty paid to substitutes, that the War
Department now shows signs OF favoring the
volunteer system. No doubt If the millions
Of dollars expended in enforcing the draft
had been paid as bounties to volunteers,
nearly as many soldiers would have been Oh
