Cheap WumIi for C'ot(:K-s of wood.
For the outside of wooden colt;ig'S, barns, out
building, fences, &c, whrre i cuinmiy is iotpor
tant, tbe following wash is reeomfbcndfd :
Take a clean bum I ul fresh quick liims nn5
slake it by pouring over it boiling water sufficient
tn cover it 4 or 5 inches deep, and stirring it till
slacked.
Wh n quite slacked, dissolve it in water and
:dd 2 lbs. sulphate of zinc (liie vitiol.) which
may be bad ot any the druggists, and which in n
Ipw weeks will cause the whitewash to harden on
the wood arock. Add atlfficieal water to bring it
to the consistency of thick whitewash. This wash
is of course white, and as white is a color which
we think should never be used, except upon buil
dings a good deal surrounded by trees, so as to
prevent its glnre, we would make it a ("awn or
drab color before uini it.
lo make the above wash a pleasing cream col
or, add 4 lb, yellow ochre.
For fawn color, take 4 lbs. umber, 1 lb. Indian
red, and 1 lb. lampblack.
To make the wash grey or stone color add 4
Ibv raw umber and 2 lbs. lampblack.
The color may be put on with a common white
wash brush, and will be found much more dura
ble than common whitewash, us the bulphute ot
ainc sets or hardens the whitewash.

Minnesota, Wisconsin, the Noiihern part of Illi

tbe crops of corn, potatoes, &c, never promised
better returns for the labor of the farmer. So it
will be as we have before said, in the counties
fronting much corn ol last year's growth, yet in
the barn. We gave an instance of this yesterday,
in specul itior.s mude nt Lexington ; the Peru, (Il
linois) Gazette, the other dny, spoke of a lere
amount still on hand in that county ; and there are
town9 on the Upper Mississippi River, where lar:e
amounts of old corn may be purchased. People
should not be deceived by croakers. There is am
abundant supply of grain for a year to come, and
an inll imation of prices, predicted on a short crop
very where, is likely to operate to the prejudice
of speculators.
The new sloop-of-war Constellation is capable

The Capture of Bomai nuid.
The despatches which hae now been received
from Sir Charles Napier, and the more ample de
tails furnished by our own correspondents with
reference to tho capture of the forts at Bomarsund,
! have doubtless been read with the liveliest interest
j by all classes of the public. A more gallant nnu
j brilliant operation has seldom occurred. The
: destruction of one of the strongholds by which
Russia hopes to secure her dominion over the Bal
tic and her ascendancy over Sweden, has been
effected with a comparatively smnll loss of life,
and in the short space of three days from the
opening of the fire. English and French soldiers
and seamen, engineers and marines of both na
tions, have joined heart and hand in this enterprise,
and we have no doubt that the vigor of their at
tack, and the rapidity of their triumph, are an
earnest of what the allied armies and fleets w ill ef
fect under circumstances of greater difficulty, and
against a more determined resistance. In a mili
tary point of view many of the details of this
operation deserve notice, because they are the
first practical experiment we have had of
effect of our guns and small arms in the
lack of places fortified on the system of
the
at
the Russian casemented batteries in the North of Eu
rope. The first point was the disembarkation of the
troops, which took place on the morning of the
9(h. The landing place chosen by the General
and the Admiral whs a bay of about three miles
in breadth, situated to the southwest ol the forts,
and at a distance of 2.50J yards from the western
fort, which is that called Fort Tree. A Russian
earthwork, carrying six guns, had been placed on
ihe eastern promontory of this bay, facing the sea,
but this battery was taken in flank and dismounted
by the fire of the Amphion und Phlegethon. In
the meantime the disembarkation was going on,
and 11,000 men were landed in the boats of the
flee' in the space of three hours and a half. The
Russian troops appear to have made no attempt
to oppose tin- landing, though they might have
occasioned considerable annoyance to our men by
posting their rifles in woods near the shore. The
British and French marines, 600 of each flg.
were conveyed by the Driver to the north of the
forts, and landed behind them. The next four
days were employed by tho army in preparing for
the attack. The posiiion of ihe batteries was
selected, sandbags and gabions w ere prepared, and
the sailors brought up, with great labor, some
32-pounder ship guns, which were placed in a
position 800 yards from the round fort. On the
13th the fire o! the French battery opened from
the southwest on Fort Tzee, and the bombardment
was sustained iu the most brilliant manner for 26
hours, with one very short interval.
We are not informed at what rane ibis fire
was opeurd, ond the distance was probably greater
than il would have been it the place had been ap
proached by regular siege operations. The most
remarkable fact is, however, that this French
battery consisted of only 4 16-pounders nr.d 4
morturs, or, as our own correspondent states, of
3 mortars and 3 brass field pieces a force quiie
inadequate to breach a granite tower. Three cf
the enemy's guns were dial noun ted through the
embtasurts, and the fire ol the French Rifles on
these apertures was so severe that the Russians
had difficulty in loading their gun, and suffered
most severely in consequence. This circumstance
is of great importance, and accounts for the large
proportion of the enemy killed and wounded in
Fort Tzee. Eventually this part of the work was
taken by the French Chasseurs on the morning of
the 14:h, by a coup de main, the details of which
will doubtless nppear in the French despatches.
Meanwhile the British battery, under the command
ol (Jener il Jones, w as iu process of construction
a work of greater time and difficulty, because
it consisted ol" thirty-tvo pounder ;u:is dr.igt d
up from the ships. We are not told by the Ad
mi;al of how many guns '.his battery consisted,
nor is its position accurately described ; it must,
however, have been on the northwest front of the
place, and within range of both the round forts,
lor, as the western fort had been tak'n before
General Jones opened his fire, he turned his guns
against the eastern fort with equal effect. This
battery was manned by marine artillerymen f rom
the four block ships; their practice was excellent,
and in eiht hours and a half one side of the tower
was knocked in. It is not clearly stated, however,
by the Admiral, (whose despatch is not remarka
ble (or military precision,) w hether this result was
caused by the fire of the fhirty-two-pounders or
by the explosion mentioned by our correspondent ;
hut it appears, from a subsequent passage in our
letterF, that a practicable breach was made by the
guns, and that they were three in number. The
effect of the breaching batteries erected by Gene
ral Baraguary d Hiiliers against the principal
tort was not tried, because the plade capiiulated
before ihe attack had been earned to the last ex
tremities, In fact, it was wholly untenable from
the moment that the round forts, commanding the
rear of the position, were in the hands of the allied
armies.
The most obvious inference to be drawn from
the Success ol this attack is, that the Russian forts,
if they are generally constructed on tbe same
principles and of the same materials as those of
Bomarsund. cannot withstand for anv lengthened
lime a close fire of heavy guns, even when those
"tins are very few iu Bomber, and that the diffi
culty ol righting in casemated batteries is greatly
increased by the fire of Minie rifles, which can
now be directed with great precision into the em
brasures. The fire of the ships at the long range'
at which they were compelled to lie acted chiefly
us a diversion in favor of the troops, and produced
no decisive i fleet on the forts; but it still remains
to be ascertained what would be the effect of the
broadside of a three decker on a fort of this de
scription, and whether the results produced in eight
hours ond a half by three 32-pounder guns could
not be produced in hull an hour by a firo of
greater rapidity and of twenty times that weight
ol metal. No breachintr battery that ever was
constructed is at nil equal to the fire of a lino of
battle ship; but on the othr hand, a land batterv
is far more protected liom the fire of the enemy;
and ihe question is whether a ship could float
long enough under a severe fire from land bat
teries to silence and destroy them. In the late
operations, although the ships were several times
in very critical positions, from running on the
uround within range of the enemy's red hot balls,
none of them appear to have suffered materially ;
and. though the admiral was compelled to order
the Pi ne lope to throw her guns overboard, which
was done
wiih
eut presence of mind, he proba
bly relied on the probability ol recovering them
when the Aland lles were in our own possession.
Upon the whole, this experiment is not only liiyiily
satisfactory and honorable to all those who were
engaged iu il, but it leads us lo cntieipote more
important achievements. The season is still long
enough lo adiuil of further enterprises upon the
Russian coasts ; ihe allied forces are now on the
spot, and whithin n few hours' sail of any point
in the IJallic; and we hope io learn that the allied
commanders are taking steps to pursue that career
of Mtcct-M winch has been opt ned by the full ol
i3omarsund. LonJon Times, August 25.

Worms ! Worms ! Various theories have been
startetl relative to the origin ol intestinal worms,
and yet the question is stii! a vexed one among
medical authorities. Of one fact, however, all are
informed, and in which all agree the latal nature
of the influence they exert on children. At this
season of the year, the attacks of worms are most
Irtquent as well ns most dangerous. We .ake
great pleasure in directing the attention of parents
to the Vermifuge ol Dr. M'Lane. It is one ol the
most extraordinary medicines ever introduced to
the public, and has never failed ol success when
tried.
OT Purchasers will be careful to ask for Dr.
M'Latte's Cf' hinted Vermifuge, and take none
else. All other Vermifuges, in comparisoc, are
worthless. Dr. M 'Line's genuine Vermifuge, also
his Celebrated Liver Pills, c tn now be had at all
respectable Drug Stores in the United States and
Canada. lw
Livur Complaint. The only remedy ever
offered to the public that has never failed to cure,
w hen directions ure followed, is M'Lane's Liver
Pill. It has been several years before the publio,
und h is been introduced in all sections of the Un
ion. Where it has been used, il has had the most
triumphant success, and has actually driven out of
use all other medicines, ft has been tried under
all the different phases of flepatis, and has been
iound eqn-illy efficacious in all.
tT Purchasers will be careful to ask for Dr.
Mc Lane's Celebrated Liver Fills, and take Done
else. There are other Pills, purporting to be
Liver Pills, now before the public. Dr. McLane's
Liver Pills, also hi celebrated Vermifuge, can now
be had at all respectable Di ug Stores in the United

Whfreas. the Central Rail Road Company have acted

rendering impassable one of the principal street of aid
Town by a deep cut, and then refusing or neglecting for
the space of two year or more to make a bridge across
said cut,
Be it therefore ordained by the Board of Commis
sioners for the Town of Charlotte, That the Intemdant
of the said Town forthwith cause to be built a good and
substantial bridge over the Central Rail Road at the
deep cut crossing the Street leading by the Methodist
Church, and known upon the plot of said Town as
Seventh Street.
