Valuable Inycntion.

Letters have recently been issued from, the pa.
tent office at washington, to Mr. + @. Pomeroy Of
st Louis, for an invention by which he profssses
to coat iron with copper 40 as to ii, it for man;
useful purposes to which il is not now suited, BY
Mr.. P.s process, which is described rs simple and
cheap, the iron is tiIst immersed in sulphurc acid
or some other acid to remove all impurities from
the surface, When dry 1t is dipped into clay
sufficiently mois,ened to leave thin coating on
the iron, 1t is again dried over a brick fire. and
then immersed several times in molten copper.
Enough Of the copper adheres to the iron, 1t is
said, TO cover the surface completely, after which
II may be passed through rollers to reduce |, to
the required thickness, and the result ia q smooth
surface, fully equal in brightness to pure copper
or BRASS The coating is perfect, and appears
not simply to lay to the iron, in thin layer, but
to be completely amalgamatcd in it, so that on
hammering il the coating does not separate, but
remains IA firm aud durable as the iron itself
The editor Of the ST. Louis Intelligence, who
has seen some samples Of iron coated hy this pro-
cess, speaks Of the matter As follown- Louisville
Courier.
"lf this invention is what |, purports To be and
what We believe |, IL, II will bo found useful in
an infinite variety Of forms; In the shoRthing Of
vssscls-tho roofing Of houses-in steam boilers
and chimneys-and great variety Of other
thirgs In the single article Of spikes and bolts,
and other fastening for ships and vessels, the cav.
ing will bs enormous. Iron spikes and bclts arc
much better and stronger than copper. Coated
by this process, they will resist the action of salt
water, and GALLO acid Of the wood, a. perfectly,
will bs much better in other respects, and will
not cost half a. much
In truth We can perceive ns yoason Why iron
