SIR: "A series ofexperiments conducted by me,
with the utmost care, during the past three years,
upon all the various paints and artificial prePara-
lions 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 as a perfect protection against the
ravages Of the marine worm, and the formation OF
barnacles, whilst other paint or preparation OF
any kind combines the same protective effect.
lam now preparing a full report on this impor-
tant subject to the Bureaus of Yards and Docks at
Washington and shall send with il a complete Sc
ries of specimens of wood ane metal plates, which
were covered with the different paints. and pre-
paratons, and then exposed alike for an entire
season. in salt water, opposite this navy yard all
of which illustrates in the most striking manner,
the invaluable qualities and decided superiority OF
your White Zinc Paint over all other kinds

ago. they being sole proprietors OF all the identical
vineyards, cellars, &c. which the founders and
oriqinators of this celebrated brand had owned.
Such being the fact, we need not dwell upon the
superior quality of their Wines, the reputation Of
the same among the American public being already
identified with unsurpassed excellence.
We beg particularly TO notice that their brand
still bears the same name OF Heldsleck q 20, IN

elections, illegal voting, &c. This amendment
requires to be acted upon by the present Legis

but we understand from Senator who was ia

majority in the Legislature have determined
to give this amendment the goby aud let the

this Are our wbig Legislators afraid to have

THE MAINE Law IN THE COMMON COUNCIL
II is very surprising that no one has taken any
notice of the resolution offered few nights ago
by Councilman Wild, calling for information
respecting the number of cows that have died
from intoxication in New York during the past
year, and in respect to the subject generally
OF swill milk. This is a most important mat
ter as il is notorious fact that half the babies
born in New York are brought to an untimely
end through the awful effects of being fed on
poisonous milk punch. We hope Mr.. Wild Will
stick to the resolution like piece Of bis own
taffy.

THE BURNING OF THE STEAMER GEORGIA. FUrth-
er Particulars. The telegraph some days ago re-
ported the burning of the steamer Georgia at New
Orleans, and the loss of large number of lives The
New Orleans Bulletin, which puts down the loss of
property including the boat and her cargo of cotton
at 10000, says:
Women and children were thrown from the up
per deck on the wharf, like many sticks of wood,
while others, in their fright leaped into the water
and found watery grave By this disaster it is
supposed that no less than forty persons persisted.
Mr.. Jackson and one child, eff Barbour county Ala,
were lost his wife and eight surviving children
now In the city in destitute circumstances. Mr. Jack
had his person checks of drafts to consider
able amount, which were lost with him.
Mrs. Joley, and one child, of Randolph county,
Ga, were lost. Mr.. Joley also lost 5000 in money
which was all he possessed. w. w. Dunn, of Lee
noir county, n c., lost one negro boy, with $3.50
in money, but was fortunate enough to save his
trunk. b. L. Loftin, of Lenoir county, N. c., lost
two negroes. Rev. j. NJ Carter, of Clinton, Ga,
lost three negroes and his wife was badly but not
fatally injured ip making her escape from the burn
ing boat DIR. j. NJ. Young, from Hancock, Georgia.
surgical instruments, cothing-every thing in fact
but what he stood in. Mrs. Davidson from Macon
county, Ala, lost several negroes. Mr.. Graham
from Williamsburg, S. c., lost two negroes and $500
in gold Thomas j. McLanathan. of Bristol, CT, is
among the missing j. B. Hubbard of Bristol, CT,
saved, but lost all his baggage etc. A gentle
man from Stewart county, Ga, whose name we could
not ascertain lost several negroes. He was enroutc
The True Delta says: as,s
One woman, who fell or jumped from the cabin
floor to the main deck, caught en- the points of
the horns of Infatuated OK, and was torn most
dreadfuy. But the OK throwed her into the water,
and she was saved. Of the negroes on board of the
boat twenty at least lost-some planters losing
all they had, and some losing buta few Scarcely
single family saved entire. "a father, who had
rescued his wife and six children went back for the
seventh, and was lost. A young man returned to
thr boat to look for female friend, but the flames
'.yawned around him like a he, !" and be was num-
bered with 'the unreturnlng brave"
A father saved three of his children, but his wife
and six others left their ashes in the funeral pyre of
the Georgia. A young husband lost his wife, and he
sat apart on the wharf ifindiferent to whatever
else might befall him. A child three months old
was taken to the hotel, but it had no relative to
claim 1T, and none knew whose child it was. A
young man who lost his father and mother, appeared
to be more concerned about 81 900 which his father
had left in the safe Of the boat than about the loss of
his parents.
W.B Rhenn, of Newbern, N. c., with his wife.
and five children, were saved, but he lost nine of
his negroes

~ The Washington Star says eve learn that
consultation of the Senators, friends to
the Nebraska and Kansas BILL was held yesterday
morning. Thrty-nine forty members of the Sen
ate were present. They not distinguished by
party affiliations by any sectional classification
1t decided that fair chance should be given to
the opponents of the bill to debate it fully but that
the bill should be passed to decision without delay
and in preference to all other business before the
Senate. We presume that like policy will be adop
ted in the House, and that the passage of the bill
by the Senate, will be taken up Immediately in the
House, and if its supporters have the strength it is
not doubted all other business will be postponed to
it. This is wise course, as Congress can then go
and settle the other matters before it without this
exciting subject creating obstacles to calm and dis
passionate consideration. We informed that
another consultation of Senators held this
ing" There will no doubt be more debate upon the
bill in the House than in the Senate and do not
any particular objection to it. The bill, basedas
it is the principle that the people of the Terrific
ries, without regard to geographical or arbitrary
lines shall have the power when they form State
governments to say whether they will establish slave
ry not cannot be seriously put to hazard by pro-
longed discussion. Nor can the Northern mind be
fully reused it has been heretofore this ques
ton. The Democrats of the non-slaveholding States,
true to their ancient principles of strict construction,
standing in nearly all their force the the side
of the Administration and in favor of the principle
of non-intervention by Congress in questions of
slavery.
