Gen. Burnside's Decline sad Fall—His
Statement and the Arrest of Mr. Vahan■
Ingham.
Gen, Ambrose E. Burnside is a respectable,
well-meaning man, whose generosity* is quite
equal to his good sense. When Pope was de
feated at Bull Run, he was dismissed without
sympathy, to carry into retirement the just re
proaches of his countrymen; when M'Dowell
lost the first event of the war, the people did
not censure him ; when M'Clellan failed on the
Peninsula, the soldiers kept faith in him, and
the majority of the people sustained and ac
credited his genius and exploits ; when
Burnside fought and failed at Fredericksburg,
the nation felt an extreme compassion for the
discomfited commander and the brave men who
fell with his misfortune. Pope was condemned
for his offensive vanity, and the boastful pro
mises which he failed to make good ; M'Dowell
Was left to take refuge in the fickle fortune of
war ; M'Clellan was rightly believed to have
been impeded by the interference of his domes
tic foes ; and Burnside was generously per
mitted repose in the apparent modesty and
kindness of his nature.
It has sometimes happened, however, that
good men are driven by force of eirelituetatiCeS
to do foolish things, and it has been frequently
suspected of Gen. Burnside that his subse
quent career in the West has been, since his
defeat in the East, but the melancholy reflex
of a perturbed spirit and an intellect disor
dered by the rush and pressure of events. Cer
tainly no General of the war could have more
easily sustained himself in the respectful af
fections of the people, by a consistent course
of soldierly conduct, than he, and it is pitiable
to see him at length departing from the old
line of duty in which he bad achieved so much.
The acts, the characters, the military capa
city of the principal Generals of the 'War are
now becoming axed in the settled convictions
of the people ; history is already beginning to
pronounce upon them with scrutiny and intel
ligence ; and it is a serious misfortune for i!s
estimate of Gen. Burnside that latterly be
should have so far provoked its censure as to
have stepped aside from the path he might
have pursued with so much credit, to wander
in the maze of politics. and lose himself in the
irrelevant topics of political eiscnssion.
In the recent " Statement" submitted to the
Court hearing the case of Mr. Vallandigham
at Cincinnati, Gen. Burnside professes to ex
plain the reasons which actuated the 'issue of
the famous "Order No. 38" and the late arrest
of Mr. V. at Dayton. The order in question
has the following passage:
" The habit of declaring sympathy for the
enemy will no longer be tolerated in this de
partment. Persons bommitting such offenses
will at once be arrested, with a view to tieing
•tried as above stated, or sent beyond our
lines, into the lines of their friends. It must
be distinctly understood that treason, ex
pressed or implied, will not be tolerated in
this department. All officers and soldiers are
strictly charged with the execution of this or
der."
Gen. Burnside proceeds accordingly in his
statement to explain why, under the terms of
the order above quoted, he found it necessary
to seize the person of Mr. Vallandigham. 114
argues the extension of his jurisdiction over
citizen and soldier alike throughout his de
partment, and presumes to sit in judgment
upon the kind of political discussion to be al
lowed therein. He endeavors to show that the
people ought to be made tesubmit to the same
restrictions upon political discussions as the
soldiers in his command, and constitutes him
self the arbiter between the 44 license" and the
•• proper tone" those discussions should as
same. The tangled genuflexions of his mani
festo transcend in their declarations all that
we have heretofore heard from military
politicians. His confused utterances are as in
eonsistent with the spirit of hie own order
as they are totally in vi2latiou of tbe arti
ales of war and the Constitution. The latter
instrument declares that the right of the people
to be secure in their persons, houses, papers
and effects against unreasonable searches and
seizures, shall not be violated—that no war,
rants shall issue, but upon probable cause,
supported by oath or affirmation—that no per
son shall be deprived of life, liberty or prop
erty, without due process of law—that in all
criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy
the right to a speedy and public trial by an
impartial jury—shall be informed of them
selves and cause of the accusation, and be
confronted with the witnesses against him—
that no person shall be held to answer for a
capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on
a presentment or indictment of a grand jury,
except in cases arising in the land or naval
forces, nor shall any person be compelled in
any criminal case to be a witness against him
self, nor be deprived of life, liberty or pro
perty, without due process of law—that the
trial of all crimes, except in cases of inipeach 7
meat, shall be BY JURY; and such trial shall
be held in the State where the said crimes shall
have been committed.
The indictment of Mr. Vallandigham recites
nothing which can be called, in the language
of Gen. Burnside's " Order No. 38," either
traitorous or sympathetic_ with the rebels.
The court martial has failed to convict him on
the evidence against him ; and Gen. Burnside,
after his unwarrantable arrest, comes into
court with a scatter-brained pronunoiamento
as much out of place as the General appears
to be out of his head. The only law which can
guarantee the arrest of a peaceful citizen on
any charge must accord to the process recited
above, and neither Burnside's ignorance or
presumption can supercede it. We sincerely
regret the folly to which he has exposed him
self ; and we trust his fall from grace may be
sufficient warning to other military men ambi
tious of distinction in the service of their
country.
Considerations of the True Policy in this
Nation s& Crisis.
" I am glad to knor that it (Chancellors

merely fell back to remedy an accident, which
if neglected might 'have ended in his irretriev

cavalry raid was a blessing. The slaves saw
them with joy—dearer joy for the panic that was
created among their masters. * * Wher
ever the soldier of the Republic goes, slavery
becomes demoralized * * * We must
make this war one of fanaticism—we should add
to love of country hatred of its enemies."—
Forney's Correspondence.
Pitt, in his celebrated reply to Walpole,
spoke of a certain class who were ignorant in
spite of experience. It verily seems that
amongst those who control the affairs of this
nation, blunders, errors and disasters teach
no lessons. The people ponder over these
things with profound and mournful earnest
nese, but the public authorities seem to be--
as if by some terrible fatality—incapable of
profiting by the mistakes or the misfortunes
they commit and suffer. There is no sort
of question, that this war can only be suc
cessfully prosecuted by a wise and exclusive
attention to the military requisites of suc
cess. Whatever conduces to render the army
most efficient in men, officers and materiel,
promotes the one great object at stake, the
overthrow of the Confederate armies. What
ever military judgment and forethought the
men at Washihgton who control our vast re
eources,beetow upon the single object of foiling
by strategy, numbers, and hostile appliances
—the acknowledged sagacity and courage of
the Confederate leaders contributes to the same
end. These things are patent to the whole
people. An important victory is understood.
It conquers pro tanto an honorable peace. It
measurably crushes rebellion. It restores
domestic confidence and strengthens the na
tional reputation abroad. It is a capital step
in in the right direction. But on the other
hand, the persistent commission of palpable
blunders, the amazing want of honesty, in es
timating correctly the character and results of
battles, the uniform habit of glossing and
veneering over defeats, and the dissipation of
the public strength and wealth in the pursuit
of political •hobbies, disheartens, and indeed
offends the thinking masses of our nation.—
Is it manly, sensible or fair, after the keen
disappointment which our last failure in Vir
ginia has caused- the people, to be insult
ing both their judgment and their preju
dices by this senseless talk about the joy
which a few negroes feel over their contem
plated freedom, or to be shrieking out, "We
mnst make this a war of fanaticism ?" The
people wish it to be a war of judgment. They
don't wish to be stimulated by the ravings of
demagogues, who mistake the promptings of
their bad hearts for the dictates of wisdom.—
The stimulus that is needed is the stimulus of
success, won by sagacity, valor, and, devotion
to the cause. Will the present administration
ever realise this fact, or will it steadily follow
the dangerous paths which have ..brought us
now to the very verge of ruin ? Let it learn a
lesson from the late 'career of Gen. Banks.—
That officer, by a wise solution of the negro
question, incurred the anger of the radical
wing of the Republican party; they denounced
hini. Ile has achieted, by fine management
and brilliant courage, severalsolid victories in
his department.** The denunciation has ceased.
Without regard to party, Banks has won the
confidence of the nation ;so it will ever be. If,
however, the public authorities will not aban
don frivolous, humanitarian schemes, will not
discard unsafe counsellors, will not confide in
their ablest officers, nor in the people, let us
just prepare for a lingering and profitlesi war,
until better and sounder men take the helm,
and wield our gigantic means so as so crush
the rebellion, and restore the Union.—Cleve
land Plain Dealer.
The Springfield Republican don't like the ac
tion of im administration in relation to Lieut.
Edgerly. • Alluding to the late address of the
Democratic State Committee, it says :
"We had supposed the order a forgery, but
it appears to be genuine. The committee hold
the Pie iident responsible for it, as it appears
on its face to be authorized, by him, but we be
lieve it will turn out to be one of' the 'inspira
tions' of the war office. The New Hampshire
Democrats have a right to be indignant over it,
more especially as they had to meet many sol
diers at
,the polls, sent home to vote and elec
tioneer against them. Neither the dismission
of Lieutenant Edgerly nor the offensive lan•
gone in which it is ordered admit of any justi
fication or apology."
This language from a leading Reirtblican
journal is in honorable contrast with the tone
of papers of the same persuasion in this State.
No one of them has condemned the 'disgraceful
act, although we are glad to say that many of
the party denounce it as it deserves.—Exchange.
HON. C. L. VALLANDIGHAM.
GEN. BURNSIDE'S STATEMENT TO THE
COURT.
HEADQUANTERB DEPARTMENT Or THE OHIO
Cincinnati, Ohio, May 11, /868. ss
To the Honorable the Circuit Court of the United
Staten, within and for the Southern District of Ohio:
The undersigned, commanding the Depart
ment of the Ohio, having received notice from
the Clerk of said Court that an application for
the allowance of a writ of habeas corpus will be
made this morning before your honors, on be
half of Clement L. Vallandigham, now a pri
soner in my custody, vacs leave to submit to
the Court the following
STATEMENT
If I were to indulge in wholesale criticisms
of the policy of the Government, it would de
moralize the army under my command, and
every friend of his country would call me a
traitor. If the officers or soldiers were to in
dulge in such criticisms, it would weaken the
army to the extent of their' influence; and if
this criticism were Universal in the army, it
would cause it to be broken to pieces, the Gov
ernment to be divided, our homes to be inva
ded, and anarchy to reign. My duty to my
Government forbids me to indulge in such
criticisms ; officers and soldiers are not allowed
to so indulge, and this course will be sustained
by all honest men.
Now, I will go further. We are in a state
of civil war. One of the States of this de
partment is at this moment invaded, and three
others have been threatened. I command the
department, and it is my duty to my country
and to this army to keep it in the best possible
condition; to see that it is fed, clad, armed,
and, as far as possible, to see that it is en
couraged. If it is my duty and the duty of
the troops to avoid saying anything that would
weaken the army, by preventing a single re
cruit from joining the ranks, by bringing the
laws of Congress into disrepute, or by causing
dissatisfaction in the ranks, it is equally the
duty of every citizen in the department to
avoid the same evil. If it is my duty to pre
vent the propagation of this evil in the army,
or in a portion of my department, it is equally
my duty in all portions of it ; and it is my
duty to use all the force in my power to
stop it.
If I were to find a man from the enemy's
country, distributing in my camp speeches of
their public men that tended to demoralize the
troops or to destroy their confidence in the
constituted authorities of the government, I
would have him tried and hung if found guilty,.
and all the rules of modern warfare would sus
tan me. Why should the speeches from our
own public men be allowed?
The press and public men, in a great emer
gency like the present, should avoid the use of
party epithets and bitter invectives, and dis
courage the organization of secret political
societies, which are always undignified and
disgraceful to a free people, but now are abso
lutely wrong and injurious • they create dis
sensions and discord, which ' just now amount
to treason. The simple names "Patriot" and
"Traitor" are comprehensive enough.
As I before said, we are in a state of civil
war, and an emergency is upon us which re
quires the operations of some power that moves
more quickly than the civil.
There never was a war carried on success
fully without the exercise of that power.
It is said that the speeches which are con
demned were made in the presence of large
bodies of citizens, who, if they thought them
wrong, would have then and there condemned
them. That is no argument. These citizens
do not realize the effect upon the army of our
country, who are its defenders. They have
never been in the field ; never faced the ene
mies of their country ; never undergone the
privations of our.. soldiers in the field ; and,
besides, they have been in the habit of hearing
their public men speak, and, as a general
thing, of apprbving of what they say ; there
fore the greater responsibility rests upon the
public men and the public press, and it be
hooves them to be careful what they say.---
They must not use license, and plead that they
are exercising liberty. In this department it
cannot be done. I shall use all the power I
have to break down such license, and I am
sure I will be sustained in this -course by all
honest men. At all events, I will' have the
consciousness before God of having done my
duty to my country, and when I am swerved
from the performance of that duty by any
pressure, public or private, or by any preju
dice, I will no longer be a man or a patriot.
I again assert that every power I possess on
earth, or that is given me from above, will be
used in defence of my government, on all oc
casions, at all times, and all places within this
department. There is no party—no nommu
nity—no State government—no State legisla
tive body—no corporation, or body of men
that have the power to inaugurate a war policy
that has the validity of law and power, but the
constituted authorities of the Government of the
United States ; and I am determined to support
their policy. If the people do not approve that
policy, they can change the 'constitutional
authorities of that government, at the proper
time and by the proper method. Let them
freely discuss the policy in a proper tone; but
my duty requires me to stop liiense and in
temperate discussion, which t o to weaken
the authority of the government and army ;
while the latter is in the presence of the ene
my, it is cowardly so to weaken it. This
license could not be used in oar camps—the
man would be torn in pieces who would at
tempt it. There is no fear of the people losing
their liberties ; we all know that to be the cry
of the demagogues, and none but the ignorant
will listen to it; all intelligent men know that
our people are too far advanced in the scale
of religion, civilization, education, and free
dom, to allow any power on earth to interfere
with their liberties : but this same advance..
went in thedgreat characteristics of our peo.
pie, teaches them to make all necessary sacri
fices for their country, when an emefgency re
quires. They will support the constituted
authorities of the government, whether they
agree with them or not. Indeed, the army
itself is a part of the people, and so thoroughly
educated in the love of civil liberty, which is
the best guarantee for the permanence of our
Republican institutions, that it would itself be
the first to oppose any attempt to continue the
exercise of military authority after the estab
lishment of peace by the overthrow of the re
bellion. No man on earth can lead oar citizen
soldiery to the establishment of a military
despotism, and no man living would have the
folly to attempt it. To do so would be to seal
his own doom. On this point there can be no
ground for apprehension on the part of the
people.
It le said we can have peace if we lay down
our arms. All sensible men know this to be
untrue. Were it so, ought we to be so cow
ardly as to lay them down until the authority
of the Government is acknowledged 2
I beg to call upon the fathers, mothers, bro
thers, sisters, sons, daughters, relatives, friends
and neighbor's' of the soldiers in the field to
aid me in stopping this license and inter/pc.
rate discussion, which is discouraging our
armies, weakening the bands of the Govern
ment, and thereby strengthening the enemy,
If we use our honest efforts God will bless us
with a glorious peace and a united country.
Men of every shade of opinion have the same
vital interest in the suppression of this rebel
lion ; for, should we fail in the task, the dread
horrors of ' a ruined and distracted nati3n
will fall alike on all, whether patriots or bal.
tors.
These are, substantially, my reasons for
issuing "General Order No. 88 ;" my reasons
for the determination to enforce it, and also
my reasons for the arrest of Hon. C. L. Val
landigbam for a supposed violation of that or
der, for which he has been tried. The result
of that trial is now in my hands.
In enforcing this order, I can be unani
mously sustained by the people, and I can be
opposed by factious, bad men. In the former
event quietness will prevail, in the latter event
the . responsibility and retribution will attach
to the men who resist the authority and the
neighborhood that allow it.
All of which is respectfully submitted.
A. E. BURNSIDN,
'Maj. Gen. eommand'g Dep't of the Ohio.
NEWS OF TEE DAY.
The case of Mr. Vallandigham le said to be
settled by the President disapproving the sen
tence of the Court, which was ratified by Gen.
Burnside, and changing it from two years' im
prisonment at 'Tortugas to banishment from
the Northern States.
Something fuller from Gen. Grant's army, by
way of Cairo, than we have received directly
by telegraph :
Congressman Washburne left the extreme
front on Friday. From him we learn that
Grant's advance was then within fifteen miles
of Edward's Station, which was eighteen miles
east of Vicksburg.
Two divisions of Sherman's corps had reached
Grand Gulf. M'Arthur was crossing. The
army was in excellent condition.
On Thursday last the army was eighteen
miles from Grand Gulf, encamped near Big
Black river. We have not yet got possession
of any part of the railroad between Vicksburg
and Jackson. There is probably no truth in
the reported battle at Clinton. Grant .is re
ceiving heavy reinforcements. A new over
land road for troops and trains has been made
from Young's Point to the river below. It is
only eight miles long, and greatly expedites
forwarding of men and supplies.
Ten negro regiments have been formed. Gen.
Thomas, who has arrived from Memphis,
thinks ten more will be formed.
The New York Herald has the following sum
mary of foreign news by the steamship Amer.
ECM
The ease of the alleged privateer Alexan
dria was set down among the first for trial in
the Court of Exchequer, Westminster, London,
before a special jury. It was reported that a
Union agent, versed in maratime law, would
be despatched to London to assist Mr. Adams
with his advice towards an early settlemeni of
all cases arising between the two countries in
consequence of seizures or searches at sea.
The London*Times cautions the British public
who sympathize with the Union not to favor
the establishment of a precedent for the search
of neutral vessels at sea, which may be ulti
mately used' to "harass" English commerce in
all parts of the world. The London Times
adds that if American writers or speakers are
to be trusted, England will have to call " all
the weapons she may possess" into play before
long.
By ielegroph yesterday:
NEW Yoxx, May 15.—General M'Clellan
says the statement that he has tendered his
resignation is false.
The. steamer Arago, from Port Royal on the
12th, arrived this morning. Among her pas
sengers are Gen. Terry, Col. Comfort, Lt. Col.
Green, Lt. Col. Mann, Major Cowen, Major
Brown, and a large number of Captains and
Lieutenants.
WASHINGTON, May is.—The Marshal of the
District of Columbia has seized the real and
personal estates of the following named indi
viduals : C. W. C. Dunnington, Dr. Cornelius
Berlie, Dr. Garnett, son-in-law of Gov. Wise,
Major C. S. Wallach, Lawyer Ratcliffe, Francis
Hanna, Cora. Forrest, Wm. Shields, Edward
M. Clark, Martin L. Smith, Samuel Lee and
several others. In addition to these there is
other - valuable rebel property to be attached in
this city. •
General Carrington, U. S. Attorney for the
District of Columbia, is rapidly maturing legal
proceedings against the property of all persons
who have left their . homes and joined the so
called Southern Confederacy. He expects to
have nearly all completed by the Ist Monday
in June next, the return day fixed by the order
of the Court. He is acting under the orders
of the Attorney-General of the U. S., issued
several months ago. There has been no un
necessary delay. Much difficulty exists in ob
taining proof on which to base legal proceed
ings.
The . army has been paid mainly to the let of
March last. Some of the paymasters were
paying off the troops during the time Gen.
Hooker was on the South side of the Rappa
hannock, and, during the progress of the bat
tle, had to gather up their funds for safer po
sitions.
Genoa Hooker was in Washington yester-
day on official business.
CAIRO, May 14.—The troops all the way
from Memphis to Young's Point are moving to
reinforce General Grant. Judge Kellogg, who
left General Grant's headquarters on Thursday,
says that the reported fight at Clinton is untrue.
General Grant will endeavor to cut the railroad
between Vicksburg and Jackson, and a battle
is expected in the vicinity of Black River
Bridge. The Jackson rebel Appeal says that
Bowen's loss at the Bayou Pierre was about
1,000 rebels killed and wounded left on the
field. General Tracy, Lt. Col. Pettis, and Maj.
Tuckerman were killed, and Colonel Garnet
and Major Hurley severely wounded. The
Vicksburg correspondent of the Appeal takes
a gloomly view of matters, and says Grant's
movements deceive both the people and mili
tary. A dispatch from Richmond says that
railroad communication has been re-established
between Richmond and Fredericksburg.
LATER—WASHINGTON, May 15.—The Star of
this evening says a dispatch was this forenoon
received here from Gen. Grant, dated the Bth
inst., which shows that the Cairo dispatch of
the 13th, and the Jackson (Miss.) dispatch of
the 6th, were positively untrue—the former
having represented that he had beaten Bowen'e
army on the 6th inst., and the latter that Bo
wen's army had repulsed him on the 4th.
In this dispatch from Gen. Grant, of the
Bth inst., he expresses satisfaction with the
appearance of matters in his vicinity, and
states that Port Hudson is undoubtedly evac
uated, except by a small garrison and their
heavy artillery.
I.outsvme, May 14.—A considerable num
ber of rebel cavalry have crossed the Cumber
land river, near Burkesville, Ky., with the
design of advancing into the interior of the
State. It is reported that a large portion of
Joe. Johnson's army has been detached and
sent to East Tennessee, with a view to invading
the State by way of Cumberland Gap.
NEW YORK, May 15.—The New York His
torical Society will celebrate on Wednesday
the 200th birth day of William Bradford, who
introduced printing into the American Colo
nies. The tomb erected to his memory will be
restored by the Trinity Church corporation,
and special services be held.

mously called to the chair. The meeting was

On motion of Charles W. Essex, Esq., Dr.
Charles Wanner read the following resolutions
which were unanimously agreed to.
ASSOLIITIONS.
WHEREAS, The glorious Constitution and the
rights, liberty and peace for which our fore
fathers have fought and bled seven long years
are now in danger by the malicious and unjust
rebellion of the Sonth on one side, and by the
negro-abolition fanaticism of, many of our
northern citizens on the other ; and whereas
the present administration is wholly incapa
ble to conduct our government successfully
through this difficult and dangerous crisis, and
to restore the Union and the Constitution to
their former grandeur throughout the labgth
and breadth of this once happy and peaceful
country, and because .the administration is not
capable of restoring "harmony, and not pos
sessed of the good will and the spirit of con
ciliation necessary for the welfare of the North
and the South ; and whereas, the Democratic
party has for more than sixty years executed
the laws in peace to the satisfaction of both
sections of the Union; and whereas, we know
that if this war had been honestly, energetically
and skillfully carried on,with a view to the re
establishment of the Union as it was, and the
Constitution as it is, peace and reunion might
have been had in ninety days :
Resolved, That it is the duty of all honest pa
triots and Constitution loving citizens to dis
approve the policy of the administration now
in power.
Resolved, That peace and Union can only be
brought about by the election of Union-loving
Democrats to the offices now held by Abolition
ists and Republicans.
Resolved, That it is our duty to rise in our
might, and to organize clubs in every town
ship, with a view to support. the. Democratic
nominee for the office of Governor at the next
election, and to fill other State and county offi
ces with honest and true Democrats.
Resolved, That the Kutztown Geist der Zeit
(Spirit of the Times,) represents the true prin
ciples of the Democratic party, and deserves
the support of every Democrat, and all neces
sary information in regard to the organization
of the Democratic clubs, may be found in that
paper.
Resolve, That the proceedings of this meet
ing be published in the Democratic papers of
the county, in the Philadelphia Age, Patriot
and Union, and Pittsburg Post.
Patriotic speeches were delivered by James
Bechtel, Esq., Messrs. Hollenstein, Dr. Chas.

OBITUARY. •
Died on Wednesday, the 13th inst., at the residence
of his mother, in Wysoz, Bradford county,Pa.. Lieut.
JAMES Munson Mir..mtn, of Gen. Knipe's staff, in the
211th year of his age.
He was the second son of the late Hon. Jesse Miller,
of this city. On the breaking out of the Southern re
bellion he promptly volunteered his services to aid in
sustaining the Constitution and laws of the Union, and
was elected Adjutant of the gallant Forty-ninth regi
ment of Pennsylvania. He distinguished himself in
several battles, under Gen. kf. , Clellan, on the renisula.
His naturally frail constitution, however, received its
death shock in the terrible exposure suffered by our
troops in the region of the Chickahominy, from which
every effort of subsequent care and kindness could not
rescue it. Spared in many of the severest engagements
of the war, he was yet pursued by a more insidious and
relentless enemy in the form of consumption, of which
he died.
His demise was affectionately watched and softened
as far as possible, not only by all the members of his
own family, but also by many of the numerous friends
whom his kindly and genial nature, and frank and man
ly bearing had won for him; and who, with all who
knew him, will sincerely mourn his early death.

MASTIC WORMER
PRACTICAL CEMENTER,
Is prepared to Cement the exterior of Buildings with
the New York Improved
Water-Proof Mastic Cement.
This Material is different from all other Cements.
It forms a solid, durable adhesiveness to any surface,
imperishable by the action of water or frost. Every
good.building should be coated with this Cement ; it is
a perfect preserver to the walls, and makes a beautiful,
fine finish, equal to Eastern brown sandstone, or any
color desired.
Among others for whom I have applied the Mastic
Cement, I refer to the following gentlemen :
J. Bissell, residence, Penn street, Pittsburg, finished
five years,
J. H. Shoenberger, residence, Lawrenceville, finished
five years.
dames DlTandlass, residence, Allegheny City,finished
