SrR. series of fexperiments conducted by me,
with the utmost care during the past three years,
unon all the various paints and artificial prepara-
ions for the preservation of timber, have led me
30 The important discovery that the White Zinc
Paint, manllfacturedby the New Jersey Zinc Com
many. serves as a perfect protection against the
rayages ofthe marine worm, and the formation OF
barnacles, whilst no other paint or preparation OF
any kind combines the same protective effect.
am now preparing full report on this impor-
tant subject to the Bureaus of Yards and Docks,at
Washington, and shall send with it complete Sc
ries of specimens of wood anG metal plates, which
were covered with the different paints and pre-
parations, 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
paints, especially for marine purposes.
You are at liberty to give full publicity to the
above stated facts, which are Of too much impor-
lance TO be kept from the naval and commercial
world. am, respectfully, your obedient servant,

Inspector u S. Navy Yard, Gosport, Va.

The steamers of this company use exclusively
the Zinc Paint manufactured by the New Jersey
Zinc Company, experience having proved its de-
cided superiority over oil other paints.

Arrival of Indians.--Several days ago there
arrived in this city delegation of Miami, Wea
Peoria, Piankeshaw, and Kaskaskia Indians, un-
der the superintendent of Colonel Eli Moore,
They have their headquarters at Jenny Maher's
hotel, the temporary home of nearly all of the
visiting Indians having business with the general
government. M
Those Indians, we learn, are now combined in
one tribe, speaking the same language and having
their homes on the Usage river and its tributaries
They have come hither TO treat for the sale of
their lands the onward progress of the white man
in that direction rendering a new arrangement
with the aborigines absolutely necessary, looking
both TO our geographical and political advan-
tages.
The Indians of the above named delegation ap-
pear in citizens dress, which is common 10 them
in their far off homes. They are farmers and en-
Joy moderate degree of prosperity. We doubt
not that it will be the aim Of the government, in
whatever new treaties may be made, to advance
their interests in everything appertaning TO ciyi
lized life, at least such is hope and fond anti
cipation
There are also Indians of other tribes, including
Choctaws and Cherokees, at Mr.. Maher's, who
have business withthe general government. They
are all fne-looking set of men, staid and steady
in appearance, with none of the characteristics
which mark the savage life.

on the opening Of either branch Of Congress.
Yesterday morning, his petition to the throne Of
grace was peculiarly Kansas-N Nebrastc, and is as
follows:
aOh Thou, the high and mighty Ruler of the
universe, devoutly we implore thy blessing to rest
upon this House. again about to enter upon one
country has ever known. Help every member to
keep cool, calm aud selfpossessed, remembering
that the angry gives his adversary the ad-
vantage, and the enraged party compromises its
truest interests. Assist every man TO cooperate
with the Speaker and Chairman in preserving
order, reco.lectng that the eyes of the country
are fixed upon this House, and that the deep inter-
ests of the republic are involved in the delibera-
tions of this Congress. May every man dare to
do his duty, and abide the issues OF his conscious
convictions. We pray, through Jesus Christ,

meeting held in tins town by n small
number Of the old Whig party, which
determined by very decisive vote
that no Wing ticket should be run in
tins State at the approaching cleo
lion. The reas ms for adopting that
resolution were then fully given, the
principal one being that the Wings of
the otiief counties oI the state had
refused To form any ticket or To JOIN
in electing any Wing state ticket
whatever. THIS was the result of a
state of things well understood here.
There were not wings enough IN the

afraid that the French would ente

the Russians were again retiring =
At d. minutes past Dickson's two
guns smashed their artillery, anc
they Iimbered up leaving five tum
brels and one gun-carrisge on the
field
Our total loss is 80 officers k illed
25 wounded, and 2,iO0 rank aud
file killed aud wounded in all, up
wards of 2 500 men, aud 80 artillery
horses, which latter jus; now we can
very i'll afford. The French lost
II officers killed, 35 wounded, aud
800 rank and file killed and woun-
ded. The Russian loss is far be-
yond what was first estimated. At
the lowest computation II seems
rather over than under the enormous
amount of 20 600 men. Up to this
evening 5000 corpses have been
inferred, and there still remains as
many more upon the field.
1t has been decided that the
place is not to be stormed for the
present. We are said to be waiting
Tor strong achievements. Today,
flag of truce was sent into Sebas-
topol. The bearer of it carried a
letter from the allied commanders TO
the Commander-in-Chef of the
Russian forces. 1t states that Gen.
Canrobert aud Lord Raglan had
seen with detestation and disgust
the merciless cruelty with which
the enemy btyone'ed our wounded
upon the field, aud requested to
know If the war was to lie carried
on in this barbarous and extermin-
atlng manner, as then the allies
would know how TO act. The
letter also threatened hint that in
case of our prisoners being ll-treat-
e /, the Russians wonld do well to
remember that we had many of
their conntrymen IN our hands,
whose treatment would be reg lat
ed by that which our men received
from them. \ Russian major was
