Important and Valuable Discovery.

Among the valuable discoveries of late years,
none is entitled to more notice, and should be more
generally adopted, than that made by the late Dr.
j. II. Johnson, of New-Orleans. By chemical
combinations, the inventor has found method
whereby cordage, sheeting and, in short, all veg
etable fibre, can be rendered completely fre-proof
The magnitude of this discovery is startling, that
we almost at once pronounce it impossible, and
nothing short of actual experience could convince
us of its reality; but we understand from very re-
spectacle authority that the test has been made ;
and if true its general adoption one of the great
means of saving life and property to an incalcula-
BILE amount must follow. So general is the opera
ton of this agent, combined, it is said, of we'll
known chemical properties, that it is hardly poss-
bic to calculate the uses to which it may be ap-
plied-Wdsh. Union.
