FRANCIS   MELLUS,
HAVING purchased the patent right ofthe above
valuable invention, for the purpose of supplying the counties of Los Angeles, Sau Bernardino
tuid Sau Diego, is now prepared to execute all orders with which he may be favored.
The public are aware that it has been the study of
scientific men, architects and builders, for many yeara
to discover an article for Roofing purposes, that will
withstand sudden changes ot climate, be impervious
to water, and of sure protection against fire, Tlio
inventor of this roofing labored many years to combine articles which would answer tho above purpose
aad obviate the difficulties of rust and decay attend-
nut upon tin and shingles, and the destruction by
the sun and frost of the various compositions usud
tor roofing. This ha succeeded in doing, and now,
uftur six years of the severest trial we would invite
ihe careful attention of all interested in such matters,
believing that they will be fully convinced of its
practical value both for durability and economy, in
which respects we believe that its equal is not at
present known. This roofing can readily be applied
to roofs of every description, either steep or Hat, and
can be put on over shingles or tin, being much cheaper than the first and at half tho cost ot the latter.
Two coata of tha mastic put on over an old leaky
tin roof, will nu&e it as good as new at one-third oi
the cost. In preparing this rooliug a heavy drilling
or canvass is used, whieh is thoroughly saturated
with a perfectly water proof preparation, after which
it receives a thick, coating, upon both sidos, of the
Jlour of soapstoue, which *eU into lhe texture of the
Canvass, and gives it a firm body, making it very
•batie and durable. After the canvass, &a prepared;
is put upon the roof, another coating ol mastic,which
io thoroughly fillcl with sand is-, given it, making it
fireproof "in every respect. Iiy exposure, this coating becomes linn and solid, giving you :. roof that
Bon he walked upon with pwfeot*impunity, ami as
durable as anything known; and we do most candidly
and unhesitatingly believe, fur superior to anything
of the kind yet discovered; and alter a severe test
of mauy years, stand as reliable and good as when
6rst put on, without change or decay. All that wo
a*k is, that a careful examination may be given it,
and we feel convinced tlisit it will boar all tho recommendation which we offer of it. Annexed we give
you the names of some of tim persona using this
"roofing, and to whom we are at liber ty to refer:

GOOD   TEMPER.
There's not a cheaper thing on earth,
Nor yet one half so dear,
'Tis worth more tli hu distinguished birth,
Or thousands galoeil a year ;
It lends the duy a new delight—
'Tis virtue's liinis-l fhieltl.
And adds more beauty to" tbo night,
Thau all lbe stars nitty yield.
It makes poverty content,
To soirow whispers peace;
It is a gift Irom heaven sent
For mortals to increase ;
It meets yon with a smile at mora—
It lulls you to repose ;
A llower lor peer and peasant boru,
Au everlaittiug rose.
A charm to banish grief uway,
To snatch the frown from care;
Turns tears to «mi les, iiiak<sdulluess gay—
Spreads gladness everywhere ;
And yet 'lis sweet us summer dew,
That gems the liiir* lmwtt    -
A talisman for love, as true
As ever mau possessed.
As (.miles the rainbow through tlie cloud,
When threal'nlnjr storm begins—
As music tnid lhe tempest loud,
That still its sweet way wins—
As springs an arch across the tide,
Where waves eonllictiug foam,
So comes the seraph to our side,    .
This mi gel of our home,
What may ihis wondrous Spirit be.
With power unheard before—
This charm, this bright divinity *.
Good temper—nothing more !
Good temper—'tis the choicest gift
That woman homeward brings,
And can the poorest peasant lilt
To blies unknown to kings.
What Coitatltuica a Stale 1
What constitutes a State ?
Not high-raised battlement or labored mound,
Thick wall or moated gate ;
Not cities proud wilh spires and turrets crowned ;
Not bays and broad armed ports,
Where, laughing at the storm, rich navies ride;
Not starred and spangled courts.
Whrere low-browed baseness wafts perfume to pride
No ; —meu, high-minded men,
With powers far above brutes endued
In forest, brake, or den,
As beasts excel cold rockH and brambles rude ;
Men, who their duties know.
But know their rights and. knowing, dare maintain,
Prevent the long-aimed blow,
And crush the tyrant while they rend the chain ;
These constitute a State,
And sovereign Law, that State's collected will,
O'er thrones and globes elate
Sils Empress, crowning good, repressing ill ;
Smit by her sacred irown
Thc fiend dissension like a vapor sinks,
And e'en th1 all dazzling crown
Hides his faint ray, and at her bidding shrinks.
Such was this heaven- loved Use,
Than Lesbos fairer and the Cretan shore!
No more shall Freedom smile?
Shall Britons languish, and be men no more?
Since all must life resign,
Those tweet rewards which decorate the brave,
Tis lolly to decline,
And steal iugloriously to the silent grave.

Loa A-u£clc3, Aug. 28,1S58.
The    Seat   of   "War  and    Seen* or  the   great
Struggle,
In the obscurity whicb clouds all Intelligence
from the seat of war we can hardly do better than
to furnish our readers with some preliminary
knowledge of the extent and features of the
scene—a proceeding which will he all the more ac*
ccptnble as it admits of being made both simple
and precise. Whether the war can, indeed, be
confined to those territories, is a very diflerent
question, but as long as it is limited by the
boundaries now assigned to it there can be no
reason why the exact import of every telegraphic
despatch should no be immediately comprehended.
The Kingdom of Sardinia composed of Piedmont—ils principal mass—in the center, the an-
ent province of Savoy iu the northwest, aud the
maritime territory of Genoa iu the south east, is
iot cne hundred miles iu breadth Irom its weitern
o eastern troulier. On the former of the Iron-
tiers it is conterminous along the entire length
with France, its ally ; but ou the latter it is ouly
partly conterminous with Austria, its enemy, Iu
the north a portion of the Swiss territory, aud in
South the Dutchy of Parma, supply the border
line, leaving only a central portion—perhaps
about half the entire length, to be lorined by the
territories of Austrian Lombardy. The line io
question, as everybody is now aware, is constituted by the river Ticino and by the Lago Mag-
iore, through which that river Hows, as the Rhone
does through the Lake of Geneva. On the Kreuch
side the border ts formed by tho Alps, so that the
seat of war may be regarded iu a general aspect a"
broad piece ot territory beteen a chain of mountains and a river. Tbe French had to ctosh the
mountains, the Austrians the stream, and the distance between them, as we have said, was about
ie 10U miles.
The features of Piedmont itself however, deserve particular attention, as they are regulating
the present diBtributlon of the contending armies.
Piedmont is traversed in its breadth by the windings of tho river Po, and the division of tbe country thus affected corresponds very nearly with ths
division of the eastern frontier between Lombardy
an Parma, so tbat to the south of the stream Piedmont borders ou Parma, and to Its north only on
tho hostile territory of Lombardy. These two divisions on the Sardinian kingdom differ totally in
tbeir natural cbaracbters. To the north or tbe
rivur—tbe district immediately exposed to the
Austrians—all is a level plain up to the Swiss
Alps, whereas on the southern side all is moutain-
ous, and the whole space ia filled with shoots or
spurs of the Liguriau Appenines sloping away
from Genoa. In this division ol the kingdom lie
the strong places of the Sardinians— Aleswandria,
Oasale, aud Tortona—and on its western edge
stands Turin itself, the capilol of the State.—
Within or around these fortresses the Sardinians
have collected the bulk of their army, perhaps
some 75,000 men leaving tbe plains oi the north
comparatively open to the incursions or the enemy.
Before the actual commencement of hostilities,
the Austrians at Milan stood just shoot as far
from the rWcr as the French at BriancOO did from
Uiu nwuuUiw>; and » Uoe drawn from one of
these poluts to the otlittr would pans through tbe
commou mark ol both armies—the royal city of
Turin. Turin, however, is about as lar again from
IlutTaloru, where the Austrians crowed tho river,
as it is from Susa, whore the French halt on crowing the Alps, tbe distance being about seventy
miles iu the former case, against thirty three in
tbe latter. But this inequality was more than
compensated by the relative difficulties of thu two
roads; for whereas the Austrian! have a plain
Country to traverse the French cau only reach
Susa by passing the Alps. In reality, tha ad van'
tage of ground .-o Isir was on tht side of the Austrians, bul their operation has been influenced by
further considerations arising from the prosit km
of the Sardinian army before described. Tbe
French, as they descend upou Susa aud push forward to Turiu, are directly confronting the Aus
Irian■ on their march towards tho same point
from Milan ; and ffthis was all, and there were no
Sardinians except in the capital, the shock ol battle could be anticipated wilb great facility
Sooner or later—in fact, very soon, indeed—the
belligerents would meet, uud au engagement on
a large scale would ensue.
It will be observed, bowuver, from what was
tln.ii said, that the Austrians, iu their advance
across Piedmont from east to west, would have ou
their left flank the whole concentrated strength of
the Sardinian army, resting on its finest fortresses.
What ths chain of the Tyrol iudacd Is to Austria
in the plains of Lombardy, the chain of the Ligu-
ran Appenines is to Sardinia in Iho plains of Tied,
mont, and the parallel cau be carried still farther,
for exactly as Germany lies in reserve behind the
Tyrol, so does a .second French force gather iu
strength behind|lhe Appenines. On the sealward
of theso mountains stands Genoa, which as France
commands the sea, can be reached from Toulon
with the greatest facility. The Sardinians, there-
lore, while they cluster in force about their cita-
delB to the south ol the Po, liave in their rear the
support of a powerful French army wilhin llfty
miles' distance.
The Austrians thus opposed by two bodies of
the enemy—one directly facing them ut Turiu,
and drawing daily reinforcements Irom the passes
of the Alps; aud another at Casale and Allcsaan-
dria, flanking their march, and receiving succors
from a district base of operations at Genoa. By
crossing their frontier at its northern extremity, U
they have done, they might occupy the northern
districts ol Sardinia ; or if they descended thence
upou the Po, they might get t Ih Sardinian army
n front of them, but they would theu have the
inny of the Alps on their right. They must iu
hort, advance in any case against two lines of
Iocs posted at right angles to each other ; and for
simplicity'stake, w« may consider these lints to be
represented by the river Dora Baltea, running
north to south by Irrca, and the Po, runniug from
west lo east by Casale—Turiu being pretty nearly
at the angle.
All llicplaces named, be it understood, lie with-
in comparativtly small compass. From Auroa,
the point occupied by the Austrian* in the north,
to Genoa, on the seaboard ofthe south, the distance is about 110 miles, or very nearly tho same
as from Susa lo Buffalora. From Genoa to Alessandria it is only 40 miles, and from Alessandria
to Turin less than 00. From Susa to Turin,
again, the distance is but 30 miles; so that in
their two positions of Turiu and Alessandria the
.Sardinians are, in the one case, within 40, and in
the other within oO mil-:, of Iheir powerful allien-
The Austrians. too, would be eijua ly mar their
resources. Xovaria is about 5 mi his, IHortara
about 10 miles, andVercelli bul sonu 20 mil. s
fro the Lombard frontier, and these are the poiuu
at whicb the first collision may be anticipated
The great feature, however, ot the cr mpolgn, ts
lar as Cau be comprehended at present, is tbe
double base of operations from which the Sanlin-
ans and their allies are proceeding; and if Ihe
Austrians find themselves in strength sufficient for
such plan, it is not improbable that they also may
divide their iorces, "o that lhe troops now said lo
beat Mortars may advance towards thesouth,
and those of Navara towards lhe west. 11 will not
bave escaped notice that the Austrians are said
to be particularly stroug at Mortara, while the lm-
perial Guard, the select corps of the French army'
is at Genoa. These dispositions would seem to indicate that the hardest struggle is expected ou
tbe line toGenoa rather than on the line to Turin,
but this is a point on which we can hardly remain
Ion in tho dark. In tho interval we cau ouly Us
too sure that war, in so narrow a field, and been armiisso powerful and so fiercely animated
will lose none of Ihose horrors from which eivili
