Slate House.

A correspondent describes a novel
house recently built at Brownsville,
Me-: al
"This house is not only shingled but
is clapboarded with slate. 1t Is slate
edifice, fire.proof and understandable
The states are put on to the boarding
of the walls with only paper between.
They are In the form OF segments OF a
circle, overlapping each other, and have
a yery ornamental effect, The natural
color of the slate Is pleasing to the eye,
and no paint is needed. III II wereI the
slate would furnish it, for when ground
it makes an excellent paint which MT.
Sparrow has used on his barn with
good effect. The whole establishment
is elegant in appearance, and SHOWS
what can be done with native mate
rails. The front steps are OF beautlInl
slabs of slate; the sinks, manteIsI
shelves, are of slate; the WOODWORK is
of brown ash, native wood. WhIch
makes a handsome finish. In short,
this is a real ealstate.of-Maine- house, and
shows the wealth of her resources. The
slate coats little If any more than clap
boards. When the railroad brings this
material TO us, slate houses must ne
come fashionable.

Tho World, editorially, says the Dem.
ocratic party has evidently been injured
by the aspersions cast upon II through
the indiscreet letter of Blair to Broad
head, which has been successfully used
by the Republicans. 1t says that It is
simple Justice that the party should be
cleared of these aspersions, and that
the party as party has no other means
OF clearing itself of this imputation
than by futile contradictions in its pub
lie journals, but there are individuals
who can extinguish this calumny in a
moment and silence 1t forever. IL must
be done, If we are to win the election.
This is a time for plain talk, and we
hope we have spoken intelligibly
enough for those whom 1t most concerns
to take our meaning.
The Herald says, it has been decided
to withdraw Seymour and Blair, and
the nomination to be given to Chase
and John Quincy Adams. Belmont

All the Washington specials this
morning state the movement on foot
to withdraw Seymour and Blair, and
place Chase and Adams, or franklin

The Commercial says tits reported

crat says that Gov. Seymour has writ
ten a letter placing himself in the hands
OF the national committee.

MEMPHIS, October 16.
The little steamer Hesper, which left
here at four o'clock yesterday afternoon
with 1000 stand OF arms, which It is
alleged were destined forthe negroes in
Arkansas, returned to this port to-day.
Her officers state that while woodiDg
some 25 miles below here on the Missis-
sippi side, the steam tug Nellie Jones
hove in sight with barge in tow con-
tanning about 40 men in disguise, who
took possession of the Hesper; placing
guards over the pilot and engineer they
cut the boat loose and steamed up the
river. The boxes containing the arms
and ammunition were broken open and
the guns thrown into the river. After
thus dlsposing of the arms the party
re-embarked on the tug and started
back up the river, and In attempting to
go through the chute she grounded.
The party then went ashore and took to
the woods. It is said the party seized
the tug below Fort Pickering soon after
the Hesper had left this port. The
affair causes great excitement.
