Sin: A series OF experiments conducted by me,
with the utmost care during the past three years,
upon al the various paints and artificial prepara-
tions for the preservation OF timber, have led me
TO the important discovery that the White Zinc
Paint, ,manufacturedby the New Jersey Zinc Com
pany, serves NJ perfect proteciion against the
ravages OF the marine worm, and the formation oi
barnacles, whilst no other paint or preparaiisn oi
any kind combines the same protective effect.
| am now preparing full report on this impor-
ianf subject 10 the Bureaus OF Yards and Docks at
Washington, and shall send with Il a complete Sc
ries OF specimens ofwood and metal plates, which
were covered with the different paints and pre-
paraions, and then exposed alike for an entire
season, in salt wafer, opposite this navy yard ai
of which illustrates, in the most striking manner
the invaluable qualities and decided superiority OF
your White Zinc Paint over all other kinds
paints, especially for marine purposes.
You are nj liberty 20 give full publicity 20 the
above stated facts, which are Of TOO much impor.

Japan-The Treaty.

The steamer Fl Dorado arrived at New Or leans from California on the 7th inst.
 The news she brings from Japan is interest ing.
 From source said to be authentic, we gath CT the facts that the treaty signed by Com. Per- ry on the part of the United States govern ment, and by three of the principal princes oi the Empire, on behalf of the Emperor, on the 31st day of March, 1854, has actually opened to the commerce of the United States two ports l-Chackodadi, in the Straits of Sanger, a prin- cpal port for whalers, and Schmudi, at the en. trance of Jeddo bay, which will be the princi- pal port of trade and the depot for coal, the China steamers to be supplied with coal brought to that place from the interior of the island, the Japanese contracting to have 10000 tons of good coal at Schmud, and the supply to be al- ways kept up.
 The place where the negotiations were car ried on is called Kenagawn, and is within eight miles of the city of Jeddo. The boats of the United States Squadron surveyed the channel up to Jeddo, and were at one time within one and a half miles of the city itself.
 The Aspinwall Courier, with its eve. as in the case of the Australian travel, still on the Panama route, glories greatly over what it con- slders asplendid achievement of Com. Perry. This great change in the position of the Asiatc world-this successful opening of an uninped- ed and easy route to China, must forthwith add very materially to the importance of the Pana. ma railroad in the eyes of the whole world The establishment of a line of steamers from San Francisco to Japan will be very speedily accomplished

Bloodshed in Clarksville, Texas.

On the 1st instant, as we learn from the Clarksvile Standard, "Mr. Charles H. Peabody, an intelligent, honest, inofensive citizen of some weakness, but many good qualities, had been guilty of an indiscretion, few nights since, at the house opposite the Clarksville Hotel, occu- pied by Miles Husbands, and his son-in- law, Albert Western This had been much talked about on the public streets by persons who might have found some better subject for con- tinued conversation, and Mr. Peabody had been wantonly and politically annoyed about it, until it had raised feeling of enmity between him and Husbands and Western, the murder ed man himself certifying when he went from town to his boarding house on that day at din- her tune that some Of the females in that house had shouted after him offensively."
 Onthe evening of the first, above referred to, as MT. Peabody was passing by the house of Husbands, the quarrel was renewed, and ter minated in the death of Peabody, by MT. West ern. Western fired pistol at Peabody, and Peabody snapped at him, and then threw his pistol, at the same time drawing his bowie knife and pursuing Western into his house. when he Peabody was assailed by several persons with brick bats, etc., and his knife kocked from his hand he then retreated some distance, was pursued by Husbands, over- hauled and held down while Western shot him in the back killing him almost instantlv.- Western and Husbands were arrested and held to bail in the sum of S1OOO and $500, which they gave, and are now at large

Breaking Ground on the M. O. and
 R. R. Railroad.

The last number of the Ouachita Herald con- tains very interesting account of the cerimo- ny of |" breaking ground" on the Mississippi, Ouachita and Red river railroad It truly says that 1t was an occasion that will long be remem- bered by our citizens as an important epoch in the history of Arkansas.
 Upon the assembling of the large concourse of citizens from the different counties in South Arkansas numbering several thousands, the meeting was organized by the appointment of the following officers:
 President-Gen. Nat. G. Smith, of Dallas.
 NSce President-Wm. Wynn, of Lafayette: s. A. Saunders, and Robert Martin, of Dallas: John B. Hawkins and Dr. Hamilton P. Smead of Union.
 The president upon taking the chair made d very handsome and appropriate speech. After prayer by the Rev. J. B. Annis, Col Dockery, the president of the company, delivered long and eloquent speech suited to the occasion.- He brought to bear, says the Herald, all those practical points and arguments in reference to railroad matters which he knows so we'll how to handle before the public.
 At the conclusion of the Colonel's speech. the procession was formed, under the direction of Dr. Graves, and marched to the spot where the ceremony was to be performed. It was goue through with, with the greatest solemnity, the president and directors officiating. The ladies too, were present and lent their assistance and influence to stir up the hearts aud minds of the people to the importance of the occasion and to the magnitude of the work. Wewere pleas ed also to notice that Gen. Haskell was present and united his eloquent voice in behalf of this road. Gen. Haskell, we learn, has been en- gagged as the agent of the Mississippi, Ouachita and Red river railroad for the purpose of con- wasting the southern portion of the State to procure subscriptions. A better or wiser selec- tion of an agent could scarcely have been made. The Generals popular manners his ability and his eloquence well qualities him for SO delicate and arduous mission.
 Col. Warren, our present representative, also addressed the crowd. He delivered himself. we are told, in his happiest manner and gave by his voice and his example the highest encour- agement to the work. He expressed also his firm belief that a granto lands would be m ade to this road but in the event there was none made, thought the company and the people possessed the ability to build the road

The Candidates for the State
 Senate.

Last Saturday was the day appointed for the candidates for the State Senate, in this district to address the people of Pulaski county. Accordingly, larger concourse than usually attends political meetings in this county, as- sembled on that occasion. The candidates were indebted for this large auditory to the fame as an orator that preceded the Rev. J. T. Morris, the Whg candidate. The Wings were in high glee, anticipating a glorious tri- umph for the great Tennessee orator.
 Since the performance of last Saturday the whigs are rather backing out from their previous bragging, and deny they ever claimed their candidate as an orator or the equal compeer of Jimmy Jones!!! But deny as they may, high expectations of Mr. Morris eloquence, had been excited, in the first place, in the nominating con- vention by distinguished ex-senator, who gracefully declined the canvass himself to make room for his friend from Stew art county, Tennessee, whose overwhelming ability on the stump had enabled him to come within five votes of defeating Harris for Congress in 9 strong democratic district.
 This hig gh recommend ation of the ex-senator was succeeded in few days, by the following flourish of the whig organ of this city
 "The whigs of this senatorial district we congratulate upon their good fortune in secur- ing standard bearer to lead in the contest able and worthy to lead. He is one of those noble Tennessee whigs, who battled long and successfully in that state against the influence of the administration of President Jackson and Polk, to seduce her from her faith'
 And the following, which is hardly true. as we learn MT. Morris did not get his own party by seven or eight hundred votes, and conse- quently must haue been beaten by seueyM thou. sands:
 "A few years since he was the whig candi- date for Congress, in opposition to Gen. Harris, a democrat, in district where the democrats had majority of more than a thousand votes, and was beaten a very few votes."
 With the prestige of this high endorsement, MT. Morris made his appearance-the whigs eager and tittering with anticipated triumph The change of countenance that came over them as the Tennessee orator proceeded, would have been rich study for physiognomist- Never was party doomed to more bitter dis appointment. Of MT. Morris performance it is unnecessary to say more than that, with the voice of Stentor, he proved himself a brawl- ing demagogue.
 Judge Totten, being no orator. as his friend was, made plain democratic speech, marked throughout by forcible argument and sound sense. The democrats were delighted with the result The whigs deny that they ever said Morris was an orator, and all they claim for him is, that "his speech a0as as good as Iot- ten's." What condescension!
 But we have no disposition to torture their mortified pride. We say to all who heard the gentlemen; choose ye, who shall be your Sen- atOr.

Destruction of Judge Davis Cotton
 Factory.

On the night of the 18th inst the large cot ton factory, belonging to the Hon. H. Davis, in Benton county, was entirely consumed by fire. The loss is estimated at $15,OOO. Noth- ing was saved.
 This is a heavy blow to northwest Ark ansas. There remain now but two factories in the country-those of Van Buren and Cane Hill.
 We have not received the particulars of the fire It originated from the friction of the ma chinery-S. F. Lndpendent.
